I LOVE YOU GUYS =]

Stubborn

Blair’s is this tiny little restaurant that most people don’t even know about, that’s why I love it. Everyone came, including a few Guards. Makes since that Angel brought Tommy, Ethan, and Jared. They are the very few that I trust. Yes, that’s all my guard, but that doesn’t mean I trust them all with my life.

Everyone ordered except the Vamps. I guess I wasn’t thinking when I chose this place. Everyone was talking, except me. I couldn’t stop thinking about what Stefan said.

It doesn’t bother me that he feeds on humans. I don’t think it would bother me if he even killed them. We kill cattle for food, right? Humans are just Vamp cattle. What bothered me was how Stefan had changed just because I had left. I don’t like the thought, or image, of Stefan’s lips on another women’s neck. That should be me, right?

No snap out of it. He betrayed me. I haven’t made a decision yet. Stefan can have whoever he damn pleases. That doesn’t mean I have to like it, though. And what about his humanity? I don’t believe that he has lost it, because he hasn’t killed yet. I just believe that he has only forgotten his humanity.

"So what did you do all day?" I heard Nikolaos ask, trying to bring me into the conversation. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at him. I shrugged. "Threatened to kill people."

They chuckled. Kristopher said, "The usual."

When everyone continued to speak except me, Stefan noticed. He leaned over and whispered in my ear, "What’s wrong?" I smiled. What’s not wrong?

I turned so I could whisper in his ear. "Just thinking."

"About?" he whispered back.

"You." He laughed. No matter how old he really is, his still things like a 20 year old male. Figures. I couldn’t help but laugh, too. I know I shouldn’t have. He was thinking like a pig. "It's not what you think." That just made him laugh even harder, causing me to laugh.

"Not to interrupt, but what is so funny?" Aubrey asked. I sobered up enough to point at Stefan. When I looked over, I saw that he was pointing at me too.

"Thanks," I say after a minute of laughter.

"For what?"

"For making me laugh. I needed it." I chuckled.

"No problem, babe."

I raised my eyebrows. "Babe?"

"Well, you won’t let me call you Amante without getting shot, so I improvised." He smiled.

"No, I won’t let you call me anything but Anita." I hinted.

"Your still just as stubborn," He grumbled.

"And pissy. Don’t forget how easily she gets angry." Angel added. I threw a roll at him. We all laughed together.

Kier chose then to start crying. "Stefan, your son wants you."

"No, no, Anita. Those are cries just for mommy."

I rolled my eyes. "Come on stinky, let’s go get changed." I took kier from Angel, got the diaper bag, and headed for the restroom. I quickly changed Kier and went back out to the table. "You know, you were willing to do it yesterday, what changed?" I teased Stefan when I sat down.

He chuckled. "I saw the error of my ways."

I handed Kier to Nathanial’s open arms.

"So how long are you guys staying?" I asked. They exchanged glances, than looked at Stefan.

"When I said we were helping Stefan, I wasn’t talking about helping him find you. I know he showed you some memories, but he left out a lot on purpose." Nikolaos informed
me.

Stefan was sending his brother death glares. Considering the fact that he left them out, I don’t think he was planning on telling me the rest. While he was glaring at Nikolaos, I was glaring at Stefan. Without looking away, Stefan said, "I feel that, Anita."

I reached out both my hands and grabbed his. Squeezing as tight as possible. I demanded. "Show me. Now."

He finally looked at me. "NO."

"It wasn’t a question Stefan." When he just stared at me, I pulled my hands back.

"Fine. So what have you been helping him with?" I asked Kristopher, irritated.

"We were helping him…cope. He didn’t take it so well when you took off." he answered hesitantly.

Stefan brought his fist down on the table. "That’s enough. Chang of subject."

"HE is right. This is not the time nor the place for that specific conversation." Angel added.

I crossed my arms and gave them and angry "humph."

He will have to tell me at some point.

"Can I get you anything else?" our waiter appeared.

"NO I think we will take out check." Aubrey answered,
winking at her. After Angel paid, we stood and headed back to The Fallen Angel.

Stefan, Alexander, Aubrey and Kier rode with me. And Angel, Nathanial, Nikolaos, Tommy rode with Ethan. Jared and Aubrey rode together. One of our rules is that nobody does anything alone.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So, what’s going on with Uncle Kaleo? Is he coming up anytime soon?" I asked Aubrey was we sat down in the living room area. This was really the first time I’ve thought about him since Stefan arrived. Stefan has been on my mind ever since I first saw him.

"Yeah, I called him on my way to get these guys. He told me to tell you that he is glad your okay, he loves you, and that he will be here in a few days. Oh, and he is bringing Sean just for you." Stefan added.

I chuckled. Sean had been the first body guard of Kaleo’s that I got to meet. But, that was all a while ago.

"Who’s Sean?" Alexander asked.

Kristopher answered for me. "One of Kaleo’s bodyguards. He also happens to be Anita’s favorite, of Kaleo’s, that is."

"Remember when we were all in Stefan and Anita’s bed because we all fell asleep, and Sean called you> that was nasty. I could have lived without those images." Nathanial teased.

"Hey! It wasn’t my fault! Sean brought it up. Plus, you
should have stayed out of my head. I’m glad Raven put a spell on me. I like my thoughts to myself thank you very much." I defended.

"Okay, I’m confused. Why don’t you just tell us the story?" Angel said.

So I did. We were all laughing ant telling jokes and old stories. I didn’t even move when Stefan put his arm around me. It felt natural; right. I missed his arms around me. I missed everything about him. His smell, waking up with him holding me, the feeling of his fingers running through my hair. And that’s just the beginning. But missing him doesn’t make me forget all the emotions that he has put me through. This is exactly why I shrugged his arm off. No matter how much I love him, I can’t get close to him again. What if he hurts me again? I don’t think I could take that. Emotionally or physically.

That must be it. That is exactly why I haven’t gotten back together with him. I have been trying to figure out my reasons, and I finally got it. I just don’t know if I can trust him again. I know I still love him, but can I trust him with my heart
again?

Stefan seemed a little hurt by my shrugging him off, but he didn’t say anything. Everyone just continued to talk until it got kind of late. We had to stop so that Angel can go upstairs and prepared for tonight.

"I’ll leave Aubrey or Nathanial with Kier. Everyone else needs to feed tonight." Before Stefan could protest, I continued. "Don’t lie to me Stefan. I saw you sneaking sips from Kiers bottle this morning. You guys need to feed. Just find a random girl, seduce her, and feed. As for us humans/lycanthropes, I’m ordering pizza later"

I could feel my jaw muscles tighten at the thought of Stefan seducing other women. Yeah, he has to for food. But I still don’t like it.

Stefan smiled. "Remember how I told you that I can feel what you’re feeling? I still can. And right now your jealous. I can’t tell why, but I can feel it. So, why are you jealous?"

There is no point in lying to him. "I just don’t like the thought of your lips on some slut’s neck." I was a little annoyed at myself for feeling this way.

"But you still haven’t answered me yet, so we aren’t together. So you should be jealous."

I did something that I know I will regret. I leaned over the table and kissed Nikolaos. Not just a light peck on the cheek either. A nice long kiss on the lips. Nikolaos gently pushed me away. I don’t really like Nikolaos like that. He is a brother to me, but I had a point to prove.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Stefan yelled as he stood up in front of me.

I crossed me arms. "Jealous? We aren’t together, so you shouldn’t be jealous.’ I threw his words back at him. He stepped closer to me. So he was right in my face.

"You kissed my brother just to prove your point?!"

"You said that because we aren’t together that I shouldn’t be jealous. Well, guess what? We aren’t together, and your jealous. Now you know how I feel." I snapped back.

He threw his hands up in the air. "But you know that I love you!"

"And you know that I love you!" I retorted.

"Than why aren’t we backing together yet?"

"I don’t know." I whispered, trying to hide the lie. Of course, he already knew.

"Don’t lie to me, Anita." He growled.

"I just don’t know if I can trust you!"

He took a step back, as if I had just slapped him in the face with a fish. He searched my eyes for a few seconds before he said "I’ll prove it to you. Tonight." He backed away and darted upstairs before I could protest, or ask him what the hell he was talking about.

I looked around to see everyone looking at me. "Sorry, I muttered.

"Why don’t you trust him?" Nikolaos asked.

"I don’t want to talk about it. Oh, by the way, sorry for
kissing you. You just happened to be the one sitting beside me."

"Damn, I knew I should have sat there." Kristopher said. I laughed a little.

I know I still love him, but can I trust him with my heart again?
