Second Chance

39.

Rebekah's POV

Stefan and I were now back from Chicago and he was taking me home because apparently he wanted to be sure I would be okay, even if I'm an Original who can protect myself, and because he is a complete gentleman.

"Rebekah, I just wanted to tell you that I had a great time and I hope we will do this again... soon." Stefan said, making me smile.

"I would like that very much. But we don't need to go to Chicago for another date. A dinner in a restaurant near by is more than enough."

"No, it's not. You don't give yourself enough credit. You know how Klaus is always telling Caroline that he thinks she deserves everything... Well, I believe just now I'm actually understanding that feeling because I think you deserve everything of good there is in the world." Stefan said, making me blush.

"You made me agree on another date. You don't need to keep going on with all the compliments." Rebekah said rolling her eyes.

"I'm just saying how I see it. I truly care about you, Rebekah Mikaelson."

"I would ask you to get in but I'm kinda enjoying what's going on with us and I think it would be special if it was not right in the first date."

"Of course. I wouldn't expect anything less. I chased you once and I will do it again. I will do whatever it takes to be the man who you accept to make you happy." He said and I gave him a peck in the cheek, it wasn't quick, it was a small and sweet kiss that I let longer than usual and when I turn to my original position, I looked at Stefan in the eyes and then at his lips, feeling the desire taking over me.

I felt him leaning in and so did I, then he kissed me passionately, it was like an explosion of desire and passion, then it got softer and sweeter, we had to break the kiss to be able to catch our breaths and we looked at each other with a smile and our foreheads resting on each other.

"Please don't make me regret this." I whispered seriously.

"I won't. Trust me." He whispered back and gave me another tender kiss, then when broke the kiss he smiled at me. "Goodnight, Bekah!"

"Goodnight, Stefan!"

"I'll text you once I get home just to be sure you're okay."

"Okay." I giggled, amused with his concerned since I'm an Original. "I'll be waiting."

Before he was gone he looked at me one last time.

This was the best date ever!

"Bekah!" I heard Caroline called me with a smile.

"So...? How was the dinner?" Caroline asked, she was hanging out in the living room with Klaus, Elijah, Elena, Kol and Bonnie.

"It was very good! And I have to thank Nik for that. Apparently, he gave Stefan a big help in making this dinner date." I said and then walked over to Niklaus and gave him a peck on the cheek as a thank you. "Thank you, brother."

"Of course, sister." Nik said with the smirk.

"Look at Nik finally doing just for the well being of others." Kol said and Nik gave him a death glare but, of course, Kol didn't mind. "I believe someone went to Oz and got themselves a heart!"

Caroline quickly took me to my room with Elena and Bonnie, then, once we got there, they made me tell them everything that happened on my date and they were very happy that my date went well.

I finally feel like I have real friends. I mean, yeah, Hayley is my friend but I always felt that we became friends because at first we were the only girls and now me with Bonnie, Elena and Caroline that's no longer the reason because they could let me keep hanging out with Freya and Hayley but they welcomed me to their group of friends and I think we are becoming really close.

AN: Hey guys! I know some of you prefer when the chapters are focused on Klaroline but I really wanted to make a chapter about Steroline. Hope you don't mind. Anyway, what would you like to see next chapter. I don't know if I'll update today because I'm not having many ideas but you are free to tell me yours. Feel free to give me your feedback. I always like to hear what you have to say. 😉❤️
