I woke up to the sound of my ringtone. I tried to reach the phone kept on the side but was blocked by a heavy weight. I looked down to see someone's hand wrapped around my waist. As I slowly came to my senses, a familiar scent filled the air and I smiled. I looked beside me to see a sleeping Stefan- also known as my boyfriend. I still couldn't believe that he had asked me out last night. I was snapped back to reality when my phone rang. Who is calling me so early? 

As I tried to reach the phone, I was held behind by Stefan's arm. I tried to lift it but instead he just mumbled something  in the sleep and wrapped it around more tighter. Forgetting the phone, I just stared at his handsome face. "You are drooling." Stefan said in a sexy husky voice. I could feel my face heat up as I was caught red handed. I quickly turned away. "I didn't mind it." He chuckled. 

"Shut up!" I playfully glared. My phone rang again and this time, I was able to reach it. Selena was calling me? I quickly accepted the call and got out of bed, ignoring Stefan's whines. "Aren't you supposed to be sleeping. It is what? 4 am there?" I whined. "Hello to you to." I could see Lena rolling her eyes.

"I couldn't sleep. I really need to tell you something." As soon as I heard that my brain wandered into to the worst thoughts possible. "Don't overthink it. Everyone is fine. Everything is fine. Well, everything except my virginity." Thank God- Wait. "What?!?" I shouted into the phone. Stefan gave me a worried look but a assured him with a shocked nod. "I and Ryan kind of did it last night..." She trailed off. "Wow! Girl, you work fast." I teased her. "Stop it." I can literally see her tomato-red-face in front of my eyes.

"How was it?" I continued my teasing. "Good. He knew it was my first time and he was pretty gentle." She said. "Awww." I cooed. "I told you to shut up." She growled. I just chuckled. I was about to say something when Stefan called for me from the bed. "Princess, come on! I want to sleep. Come sleep with me!" "What the f*ck is going on? Are you guys staying in the same room? Oh My God. Are you guys sleeping on the same bed? Oh No No. Are you sleeping with him?" Selena started.

"No. Why would you even think that?" I groaned. "Well, I saw you two get cozy when Ethan was in the hospital." She said. "That was totally different. Come on Lena! You know me. You really think I would do anything like that." I whined. "Well, miracles happen." She chuckled. "Really? Plus, it is Stefan's job to trouble me. He kind of has a PhD in that." I stated. "Yeah. You are right about that." She finally agreed. "Hey! Am I not allowed to tease my own Girlfriend?" Stefan shouted from the bed. Oh Great!

"Girlfriend?!? Vanessa Cassandra Macbeth. What the f*ck is going on there?!?" Selena shouted into the phone. "Yeah. He kind of asked me out yesterday and I said yes?" It came out more like a question. "You said yes?! Awesome. I am so happy for you!" Selena cooed. "She said yes?" I heard the voice of sleepy Ryan from behind. "You knew?" Lena asked him. "You told Ryan?" I asked Stefan.

"I needed someone's opinion. And he told me that he had learned the 'rules of asking out' from you when you helped him ask out Selena. So..." Stefan nervously shrugged. I just chuckled at his nervousness and directed my attention back to Lena. "Hey. I also called you to tell that Hayley called." She informed. I nodded my head although she couldn't see it and walked out of our hotel room, away from Stefan. "Yeah? What did she say?"

"You know, Mr. Rudd?" She asked. "The one who is in debt to us for what, ten years?" I stated. "Yeah. He is asking for more time." She said. "Hell no. Ten years was more than enough. Just find him and take back what was ours." I growled. "Yes mam." Lena chuckled. "Stop messing. And why didn't Hayley call me directly?" I asked. "Well, she said that you were not picking up yesterday night." Selena informed. "Okay." I said, remembering last night's events, which brought a smile on my face.

"Come on, Nessa. Stop smiling." Selena chuckled. Wait a minute. How did she know? "Best Friend's instincts." Selena is definitely a psychic. "Shut up, Lena. Aren't you sore or anything? From last night?" I teased. "Yeah I am barely standing." I could here her yawn. "You need to sleep and I have to catch a flight. See you in California." I muttered and ended the call. I went inside to see Stefan peacefully sleeping. 

"Staring is rude, you know?" Stefan suddenly said. "Well, I have the right to stare at my boyfriend." I chuckled. He smirked at the word 'boyfriend'. "Come on, Princess. You are not going to get any sleep on the flight. Might as well get some now." He was not wrong and who am I to decline the offer to cuddle with my 'boyfriend'. Oh My God. You are going to stop saying the word 'boyfriend', are you? Nope.

***********

"Hey Ashy!" I called as soon as I saw him waiting for me. He was very kind enough to come pick me up at the airport (though I did not give him a chance to say 'no'). Stefan said that he could drop me but I didn't want to give him more trouble. "I told you we could drop you at the apartment." Stefan whined. "I didn't want give you more trouble." I said as I pecked his lips. He just rolled his eyes. After saying good bye to the Thompsons, I headed towards Ash. 

"What the heck was that?" Ash exclaimed. "Yeah...He asked me out and I said yes." I smiled. "About damn time." Ash chuckled. "How could you not tell me, Cupcake?" Ash asked. "Well, I was still sinking in the fact. And I also thought Lena might have told you." "Well, she didn't." Ash glared at an imaginary Selena. I just chuckled as we got inside the car and drove off. 

"Well, I also kind of need to tell you something." Ash started as we entered the apartment. "Is it the fact that you realized that I am better than you at soccer?" I smirked. "Hey! No! I am way better." Ash smirked. "Whatever helps you sleep at night." I rolled my eyes. "What is that supposed to mean?" He roared. "Well, everyone knows I can win against you anytime." I shrugged. He just glared at me. "So, what did you actually want to tell me?" I asked. Ash took a deep breath and said, "I am not straight."

He looked at me, trying to study my face, which I am pretty sure did not give away anything. "Oh. I already knew that." I shrugged and he sighed with relief. "Thank god. I thought you would freak out or something. But how did you already know?" He asked. "Ash, I have known for almost your entire life. You really think I wouldn't have noticed it." I stated as-a-matter-of-fact. He just smiled. 

"So, have you found any hot guys around?" I raised my eyebrows. "Yeah, there was this one guy at the soccer camp." He shyly said. I just chuckled. "Make a move before someone else takes him." I advised as I went to my room, changed into some comfortable clothes and jumped on the bed, allowing sleep to consume me.

**********

"Hey sis!" Ethan chirped. "Hey bro! Why are you awake so early?" I asked. He was face-timing me at 10:30 pm here which meant it was 6:30 am there. "Oh. I just missed you." He smiled. "Aww. I missed you to." I chuckled. "I heard your Toronto trip was very eventful." He smirked which made me go red.

"Shirley told you, didn't she?" I asked the obvious question. "Yeah. She did." He chuckled at my reaction. "Be careful, okay? Stefan has a reputation." Ethan warned. "I know. But he is changed. And I think he genuinely likes me." I shrugged. "Well, I trust you. And I will soon give him 'the brother-talk'." Ethan smirked. "Go easy on him." I requested. "No way. I went easy on Anthony. And that idiot hurt you. So, there is no way in hell I am going to go easy on Stefan." Ethan stated. "Okay." Was the only thing I could say. 

"Hey! I thought you told me that you lost the snowflake pendant?" Ethan asked when a realized I fumbling with the pendant. "Stefan gave to me as a Birthday gift. He knew how much it meant to me and he also added his personal touch to it." I said showing him the Heart pendant attached to it. "Wow! You have him wrapped around your finger. Good job sis." Ethan smirked. I just rolled my eyes.

"So, tell me. How is London treating you?" I asked in an attempt to change the topic as my face couldn't handle any more blushing. "Good. But I want to know how he asked you out? All the details." Ethan did not let me change the topic. And that is how I ended up telling Ethan one of my life's best night.

**********

I wake to the blaring sound of my alarm. Today was the first day of school after the Thanksgiving break (which is now also known as The Best Break Of My Life). I get out of bed, complete my morning routine and get changed into a white hoodie and light blue jeans.

"What's for breakfast, Lover Boy?" I ask Ash. Everyone knows I hate cooking so they don't even ask me if I want to cook or not. But hey! Whose complaining? "French toast and Blueberry muffins which Stefan dropped by yesterday night." Ash shouts in response as I take a seat on the dining table.

"So, what are you guys doing?" Ash asked. I just raised my eyebrows, asking him to continue. "You know, everyone is going to start envying you when they see you and Stefan together." Ash told me. "Well, I don't care. Those girls have to get a life of their own. I won't let them trouble me." I shrugged. "That's my Cupcake!" He said, giving me a high five.

**********

"Vanfan- No. That sounds very bad. Thompbeth-Nah. Macson- Not at all. Stenessa- Better. Stessa-" "Selena! That will be enough!" Stefan cut off Selena before she could make any more ship names for me and Stefan. Currently, I was sitting in Stefan's car, who had to drop his sister and brother to school. Thankfully, Sean was sitting quietly, engrossed in Stefan's mobile, playing some game. Unfortunately, Selena was trying to come up with a ship name for us. "Come on Stefie! You guys need a ship name!" Selena whined.

"We don't." Stefan deadpanned which made Selena's face drop. "Hey! Don't get so angry." I told Stefan who just shrugged. "Listen, you go to school for now. After school, I am pretty sure Lena will be more than happy help you with it. You can even come up with a ship name for Lena and Ryan if you want." I winked at her. "I wish you were my sister rather than these two idiots." Selena grinned. "Hey!" Sean and Stefan shouted together. I just chuckled as we reached their school. "Bye Nessa! Bye Stefie!" Selena cheered as she and Sean stepped out of the car. I waved at her.

"Hey Princess. Sorry about Selena." Stefan shrugged. "Hey! I actually agree with her. We need a ship name." I smirked. "We'll let that be handled by the experts." Stefan smirked as he leaned to kiss me. It was a short kiss but it still showed that he cared. "We are going to be late." I said, pulling back. Stefan pouted but agreed anyway as we drove off to school.

**********

We had reached the school, already turning heads towards us. I mean who am I kidding- This is Stefan Thompson we are talking about. "Ready?" Stefan smirked, already knowing my answer. I just chuckled as I stepped out of the car. Stefan stepped out and came to side, wrapping an arm around my waist, leading me into the school. Well, here we go.

Till we had reached inside the school, the whispers around has grew louder. "You guys put quite the show." Ryan smirked. I just chuckled while Stefan glared at him. "Hey Stefan!" Guess who it was? The one and only- Sarah. She totally ignored me and wrapped her hands around Stefan's neck. Stefan glared at her and removed her hands with his free hand, one hand still wrapped around my waist. Sarah realized that Stefan was not going to bend so she just huffed and walked away. Stefan pecked my lips and we both went separate ways, towards our lockers.

**********

"Hey Princess!" Stefan said as he wrapped his arms around my waist. It was finally Lunchtime now. I had successfully survived the first half of school. With all the glares in my direction and additional flirty comments coming from Stefan, I am telling you, it was not easy. Currently I was in the hallway, dumping all the unnecessary books in my locker. "Hey!" I smiled and kissed his cheek. But at the exact moment when my lips were going to touch his cheeks, Stefan turned his head, making my lips touch his. And what supposed to be a small peck turned into a make out session pretty quick. 

"Hello Lovebirds." And we were interrupted by the one and only, my idiotic best friend, Selena. We pulled apart, Stefan glaring at Lena while I gave her a sarcastic smile. "Hello Stefan! If you allow, I will be taking my best friend back." Selena smirked and pulled me to her side. "What if I don't?" Stefan raised his eyebrows. "I don't care." Lena answered which made Stefan groan. "I'll see in the cafeteria." I smiled at Stefan. He nodded and walked away, shooting daggers at Lena. 

"You have to start picking up your phone." Lena told me as soon as Stefan was out of sight. I raised my eyebrows at her sudden outburst. "Hayley has been trying to call you for the past fifteen minutes. I told her you were distracted, which you clearly were." She rolled her eyes. I quickly took out my phone and dialed Hayley. 

"Hey!" I greeted. "Hey Nessa. I request you to please start picking up your phone." I could see Hayley rolling her eyes. "So, tell me. Why were you calling?" I got right to the topic. "We found Rudd." "Great. Where is he?" "Toronto." She informed. "You couldn't have found him two days ago, could you?" I rolled my eyes even though she couldn't see me. "I know." Hayley admitted. "I could have taken care of him myself." I said. "I know." Hayley repeated. "Just send the Toronto girls to find him. And keep me updated. If I don't happen to pick up, call Lena. If she doesn't pick up, tell mom to call me. I am pretty sure I will pick her call." I said and ended the call.

"Rudd is in Toronto." I informed Lena who was impatiently waiting for my call to end. "Oh. That's so stupid." She chuckled. "I know." I shook my head. "Okay. I'll see in the cafeteria. Ryan is waiting for me." She shyly said. "Where? In the Janitor's closet?" I suggestively raised my eyebrows making her go red. "Nessa!" She groaned and ran off. I just chuckled and turned to my locker.

I closed my locker only to feel a cold substance fall on my head and I heard the people who were in the hallway gasp. I turned to see Sarah smirking. I realized she had dumped her smoothie on my head. One day, I am going to kill her. "That's what you get for stealing my boyfriend." She glared at me. I was drenched in strawberry smoothie. And it had also destroyed my white hoodie. Giving me a last look, she turned around and started walking away. But I was not her go so easily.

I saw one of the girls holding coffee in her hand. I ran towards her. "Hey! You see, I am in a crisis here. And I really need to solve it. And I need your coffee for that. So, thank you." I said, and without waiting for her response, I snatched the coffee from her hand. I ran towards Sarah and dumped the coffee on her head, drenching her and her fancy Gucci bag completely. She turned around and looked at me like I had grown two heads.

"Look, Sarah. First of all, Stefan was never your boyfriend to start with. Secondly, he is mine now, so you better stay away from him. If I see you even five feet near him, you are dead. Thirdly, back off. He was never your and he never will be. Also tell your minions to back off. Lastly, stop living in your own world and live in the reality. So, leave Stefan alone. And yeah, payback's a b*tch." I ended my warning and turned around and walked towards the washroom, leaving a dumbfounded Sarah in the middle of the hallway.

I knew it was rude, but Stefan is mine. And Sarah needed to be put back in her place. A knock at the washroom door, snapped me back to reality. "Princess? You there?" Stefan asked. Without waiting for an answer, he stepped into the girl's washroom. "You know this is a girl's washroom right?" I asked him. "You look tasty." Stefan smirked, making me look like a tomato. "Oh! I meant the smoothie." Stefan chuckled while I shot daggers towards him. "Well, are you here to mock me or for anything else?" I changed the subject. "Well, I could think a lot of things to do to you in a washroom." He smirked. I didn't think my face could handle it any more comments. 

"Well, I saw the whole thing and-" "The whole thing?" I asked, knowing I had pretty much stated that Stefan was mine. "Yeah. Everything." Stefan smirked. That's it. I face is going to burst. I covered my face with my hands, as Stefan walked towards me. "You can be pretty possessive." Stefan said as he removed my hands from my face and hugged me. "Stefan, the smoothie!" I complained and pulled away, only to see a pink spot on Stefan's sweatshirt. Stefan just shrugged and childishly licked the smoothie off his sweatshirt.

"Eww. Stefan stop!" I scrunched up my nose in disgust. "The smoothie tastes better when it has touched you." Stefan smirked, making me go red. Again! "You look cute when you are blushing." Stefan commented. I just rolled my eyes and tried my best to keep a straight face. "Okay, so I got this from Claire. She had an extra." Stefan said, handing me one of Claire's t shirts. "Thanks." I said. And then we were back to just staring at each other. Great! You guys are back to your staring contest!  "Umm...you going to stay?" I asked. "Oh. Umm...Yeah. Right. I should- umm...I'll wait outside." He nervously said and ran back outside making me chuckle. 

**********

I was running towards the goal, the ball with me when Stefan suddenly started catching up to me. We were playing a girls versus boys soccer match. The score was 4-3 with my team- the girls- in the lead. "Hey Princess!" Stefan called from behind. I ignored him as I knew he was just trying to distract me. "Be ready at 5. We are going on our first official date tonight." Stefan informed. And I was definitely sure it was able to distract me as I just stopped in my place, and turned to Stefan who by the time, had taken the ball from me and scored a goal. After snapping back to reality, I realized what just happened.

"Hey! That was cheating!" I growled. Stefan innocently shrugged. "Don't act so innocent." I glared at him. "Be ready at five." He shouted as he ran away from me. I was about to run after him but the ball was passed to me and I started running towards the goal instead. I kicked the ball which went flying to the back of the net and we scored another point. The team cheered but I was still in a trance. I was going on my first official date with Stefan tonight.
