No ones pov
Elena laid in bed panting next to Katherine, sweaty and satisfied. Elena turned her head to the side to see Katherine staring at her with a small smirk on her lips. "Hmm and here you said yesterday was the last time." Katherine said teasingly and Elena rolled her eyes.
"You seduced me." Elena said defensively and Katherine shrugged, "You fucked me." She added bluntly and Elena stared at her doppelgänger for a moment. "I'm so late for school." Elena said as she glanced at the clock seeing it was already ten a.m.
"Don't go." Katherine shrugged and Elena stared at her, "If I don't go I'll fail." Elena said and Katherine gave her a devious smile. "You'll fail but you'll get to have fun with me all day." Katherine teased and Elena sighed. "As tempting as that sounds, I have to go to school." Elena said as she stood up.
"Need a lift?" Katherine asked and Elena stared at her for a moment. "Yes, if you don't have anything else to do." Elena said softly and Katherine shrugged. "Nah, I was just planning on going to the mall. Maybe buy some new stilettos." Katherine said and Elena laughed as she got dressed.
"I seriously don't know how you walk in those things everyday." Elena said as she got her backpack ready. "Vampire skills." Was all Katherine said causing Elena to giggle. "Okay, I'm ready." Elena said as Katherine got up and threw on an oversized jacket.
"That's all you're wearing into town?" Elena asked skeptically. "Calm your hormones I'm just wearing this to drive you to school." Katherine teased, "Good." Elena replied as they walked downstairs.
Jenna had already left for work, Jermey had stayed the night at a friends house so the house was completely empty. Elena locked up as they walked to Katherine's car and got in.
The ride was silent, all Elena could think about was what the hell her and Katherine were. They never really discussed it. Katherine treated her like a girlfriend, but never really asked. They had sex and all, but never really went on dates.
Caroline and Bonnie didn't know about Katherine, her best friend Stefan didn't either. He would flip out considering Katherine is his ex, and he clearly warned her to stay away from her because she was evil. But Katherine wasn't evil, at least not with Elena.
"We're here." Katherine said snapping Elena out of her thoughts. "Oh, thanks." Elena said as she leaned over and kissed Katherine's lips. "I'll pick you up?" Katherine asked and Elena nodded, "If that's okay." Elena said biting her lip nervously.
"But I have cheer practice till four." Elena groaned and Katherine shrugged, "I'll be here at four then." Katherine said and Elena smiled. "Okay. See you later." Elena said lightly. "See ya'." Katherine said smiling as Elena got out of the car.
After Elena closed the door Katherine sped off, and Elena regretted not staying home with her. "Man, now I actually have to wait till four." Elena mumbled as she walked into school.
She realized it was lunch time so she walked to the courtyard and immediately saw Bonnie and Caroline sitting at their usual table.
"You weren't in first period this morning." Bonnie said, "You weren't in third either." Caroline said and Elena sat down. "I woke up late." She lied and Caroline furrowed her eyebrows as she sniffed Elena.
"What are you doing?" Elena asked awkwardly. "You smell like sex." Caroline said smirking and Elena blushed as the two girls eyes went wide. "Holy shit, you did the nasty before coming to school!" Caroline practically yelled as Elena glared at her.
"Shut up Caroline." Elena said as everyone stared at them. "Oops." Caroline mumbled and Bonnie stared at Elena. "Wait, who'd you have sex with?" Bonnie asked and Elena blushed. "No one." Elena said and Caroline and Bonnie both pouted.
"You have to tell us! It's girl code!" Caroline said and Elena rolled her eyes, "There's no such thing as "girl code", care." Elena stated and Bonnie nodded, "Yes there is!" Bonnie said and Elena looked down at the table.
"I can't tell you guys." Elena stated and Bonnie pouted as Caroline smirked. "A secret boyfriend? Ooo-la-la." Caroline teased causing Elena to laugh.
"It's not a boy." Elena stated bluntly and their eyes went wide. "A secret girlfriend? Ooo-la-la times twenty!" Caroline teased and Elena and Bonnie couldn't help but laugh.
"C'mon just tell us Elena!" Bonnie pleaded and Caroline nodded. "Yeah! Don't be a bitch!" Caroline added and Elena rolled her eyes. "Okay, but don't be mad." Elena said and they both nodded eagerly.
"It's Katherine." Elena stated bluntly and their eyes went wide. "Wait Katherine? As in your doppelgänger Katherine Pierce?" Bonnie asked and Elena nodded. "Is she like, compelling you or something?" Caroline asked and Elena rolled her eyes.
"How could she compel me when I'm on vervain?" Elena asked and Caroline shrugged. "So Katherine is your secret girlfriend?" Bonnie asked and Elena shrugged. "Well I don't think she's my girlfriend." Elena said and they both furrowed their eyebrows.
"But you two have sex." Caroline said, "And a lot of it apparently. This is the third time this week you've been late to school." Bonnie added. "Three time is not a lot." Elena said and they both shot her a look.
"It's Wednesday Elena." Bonnie reminded her and Elena rolled her eyes. "I don't know what we are." Elena admitted. "Fuck buddies apparently." Caroline mumbled and Elena glared at her.
"What? You guys aren't dating, you guys have sex. Fuck buddies." Caroline stated and Elena sighed. "I wish it were that easy, but it's not. She drives me to school every morning, she stays over night, she makes me breakfast." Elena said and they both gave her a sympathetic smile.
"You want her to be more?" Bonnie asked and Elena nodded. "Yeah. I do. I mean I wish I knew what she wanted." Elena said lightly. "Then ask her." Caroline stated bluntly.
"I can't just ask her care. She's Katherine freakin' Pierce, who knows how she'll react?" Elena said and Bonnie shrugged. "Hey, you'll never know unless you try." Bonnie said softly and Elena sighed. "She's picking me up after cheer practice." Elena mumbled and Caroline smirked.
"Are you guys gonna do the dirty in her expensive car?" The blonde teased as Bonnie giggled and Elena gasped as she hit Caroline's shoulder. "No- maybe." Elena said and they all bursted into fits of laughter.
(Meanwhile with Katherine)
After shopping Katherine decided to get a drink at the grill. "Whiskey. Strong." Katherine said to the bartender as he nodded and waltzed off to make her drink.
"Well if it isn't my favorite ex." Damon said as he sat next to Katherine. "What do you want Damon?" Katherine asked already annoyed by his presence. "Just wanted to say hi." He said innocently and she rolled her eyes.
"Cut the crap." She said, "Aw, but I thought you loved it." A voice said as she soon saw Rebekah sitting next to her. Katherine had fixed the problems she had with Rebekah, and honestly her and Damon didn't really have problems either. So as far as Katherine knew, she had nothing to worry about.
The bartender handed Katherine her drink and walked away. "So why exactly are you guys here?" Katherine asked as she took a sip of her drink. She took a look at her watch and saw it was only three-thirty. "What? You have somewhere to be?" Damon asked and Katherine rolled her eyes.
"Well if you must know, I'm picking someone up soon." Katherine stated. "Could that someone be Elena?" Rebekah asked and Katherine shot her a look. "Oh don't give me that look, I saw you drive her to school this morning." Rebekah said and Katherine rolled her eyes.
"Fine. You caught me, I'm picking up Elena." Katherine mumbled as she drank the rest of her drink. "Is that what you guys are here for?" She asked and Damon nodded.
"What exactly is going on with you and Elena?" He asked and Katherine smirked. "Well, if you must know, Elena and I have a thing." Katherine said and Damon rolled his eyes. "So you're banging her, still doesn't explain why your picking her up, and dropping her off at school." Damon said bluntly.
"You're an idiot. She clearly has feelings for the human." Rebekah said and Katherine tensed up. Damon stared at her for awhile, "Wait, you can't be serious." He said on the verge of laughing. "You, have feelings, for Elena." He said as he started laughing loudly causing everyone to stare at him.
"And here I thought you were just a heartless wrench." He said after his laughter died down. "I really hate you." Katherine hissed and he smiled innocently at her. "Feelings mutual." He said and she rolled her eyes.
"Well, I'm off." Katherine said as she stood up. "Off to bang Elena in your expensive car?" Rebekah asked and Katherine smirked. "Maybe." Katherine said as she walked off. "Hmm, Elena and Katherine, who would've guessed." Damon said as Rebekah nodded in agreement.
Katherine drove to Elena's school and got out of her car, she walked to the field to see Elena cheering with the rest of the cheer team. It was a site Katherine was really enjoying.
Caroline tapped on Elena's shoulder and pointed at Katherine who was smirking. "Your lovers here." Caroline whispered and Elena rolled her eyes, "Shut up Caroline." Elena said as she walked over to Katherine.
"You're here early." Elena said smiling lightly, "Well, I really didn't wanna miss the chance of seeing you in that tight little uniform." Katherine teased as Elena blushed. "Hold up, I'm gonna go get dressed." Elena said and Katherine shook her head.
"Leave it on. I like it." Katherine said smirking and Elena blushed. "O-Okay, I'm gonna go get my stuff then." Elena said and Katherine nodded.
After Elena grabbed her bag she walked over to Katherine and they walked to her car. "So how was your day at school?" Katherine asked as she started driving. "It was okay. How was your day?" Elena asked smiling.
"Good, I did a little shopping." Katherine said, "A little?" Elena asked sarcastically looking at the many bags that were in the backseat. "That's a little." Katherine said and Elena shot her a look.
"You're crazier than Caroline." Elena mumbled and Katherine laughed. "Honey, I'm crazier than anyone." Katherine teased and Elena giggled.
Elena then fell silent and Katherine grew a bit concerned. "You okay?" Katherine asked and Elena sighed. "I guess nows a better time than any." Elena thought.
"Katherine, what are we?" Elena asked, the question took Katherine by surprise. "I mean, we have sex and all but, you drive me to school, you make me breakfast, you sleepover." Elena added and Katherine stared at the road.
Elena then looked down at her lap, "I don't just wanna be a good fuck." Elena admitted and Katherine glanced at the younger girl. "Elena- you're more than just a good fuck, I thought you knew that." Katherine admitted and Elena stared at her.
"W-Well I just assumed that's all I was since you've never asked me out or anything." Elena said carefully and Katherine furrowed her eyebrows.
"Well do you wanna go out?" Katherine asked and Elena's eyes widened. "Wait really?!" Elena asked clearly shocked. "Well yeah, I mean I would've asked you sooner but I didn't know that's what you wanted." Katherine admitted and Elena stared at her.
"Yes! Of course I'll go out with you." Elena said smiling widely causing Katherine to smile. "Good. I'll pick you up tonight at eight then." Katherine said smirking as they pulled into Elena's driveway. "I'll be ready." Elena said happily as she waved at Katherine and got out.
As she watch Katherine drive away and Elena walked into her house sighing dreamingly as she shut the door and leaned her back on it. "What's got you all smiley?" Jenna asked and Elena stared dreamily at nothing in particular, still thinking about Katherine.
"Katherine." Elena said softly.
