Hey guys! Um, about the title, it's just an inside joke between me and my friend. Swedish word for "in love" is "kär" and for "game" is "lek", which makes "kärlek", which in swedish means "love"... it's lame, I know...

I do not own The Vampire Diaries or any of the characters.

"Would you want to add a card, sir?" The blonde woman looked at Tyler.

"Yeah, sure… can you give me a minute?" The woman smiled and left him alone at the counter with a card and a pen. Tyler had no idea what he would write.

"Oh, sir, you're not supposed to chew on those!" the woman called from the back of the store. Tyler had put the pen in his mouth without thinking of it. He quickly took it out. "Sorry" He sighed and wrote slowly on the card.

"Uh, miss, I've wrote the card now." She came back, smiling again. He gives her the card and smiles a weak smile. He doesn't really know why he does this. It's stupid, and risky.

"Your credit card, sir?" Tyler hand it over. "Here's your receipt sir" Tyler puts the receipt and his credit card in his wallet. "The delivery will be tomorrow, 17:00" the woman smiles at him. A faked smile.

"Thanks" he murmurs. He is just about to leave when he turns in the door. "And if anyone asks who sent them, you can't tell them. Whatever happens, you can't tell anyone! Get it?" His voice sounds almost angry. The woman's smile has disappeared and she nods quickly.

Tyler leaves in a hurry, and get into his car. He sits there for awhile, and considers to backword the whole thing. Then he sighs and leaves. He knows it's stupid, risky and above all cheesy. But he just had to.

"Happy birthday Jer!" Elena shouts and hugs him tight. A surprise birthday party, with all of his friends. He notices that Tyler isn't there, but he hadn't expected it either. They're not friends, really. But the rest is there and he gets hugs from everyone. Except Damon, who just pat his head. "Happy birthday little Gilbert" he says with an irritating grin. Jeremy rolls his eyes and push Damon's hand off his head. "Thanks Damon. Really nice of you to come here – and humiliate me" But Damon just laughs and ruffles his hair again.

The party is fun and everybody has a good time. Around 17:00 the party is over and everyone left. Suddenly the door bell rings. Elena looks over at Jeremy. "I think you should answer" Jeremy nods and walks to the door. There's a delivery guy there, with a bouquet of big, white lilies. Jeremy stares at the flowers. "Uh…" is all his manage to say. "This is a delivery for Mr. Jeremy Gilbert." says the delivery guy and looks questioning at Jeremy, who nods a little. "That's me" He says and the delivery guy hands over the bouquet. "Have a great day, Mr Gilbert" he says then leaves. Jeremy just stands there with the bouquet in his arm. Elena walks up to him. "Well? Are you just going to stand there or try to find a card so you know who you should thank?" Jeremy walks to the kitchen and put the flowers in a vase and founds the card.

Happy Birthday Jeremy!

I hope you will have a great day and that you'll like the flowers.

I saw you draw lilies once, so I figured you liked them,

and in the middle it's a rosebud. Look it up, it will

probably tell you more than this card.

Never forget that you're amazing Jeremy.

I cherish you and the thought of you always brings a smile to my face.

But it's best to keep myself anonymous, or it'll be too complicated.

P.S. Don't try to recognize the handwriting, I've twisted it

Jeremy reads the card over and over again. Then he let's Elena read it, while he looks closer at the bouquet. There's one little rosebud in the middle. Elena gives him the card and he reads it again. He starts to smile. "Jeremy, this is… so romantic!" Elena says and smiles too.

"Yeah, but sad. I mean, I won't find out who it is and the person seems to be unhappy. What if it's someone I like?" Both Jeremy and Elena think a little about this.

"Is there someone you like?" Elena asks and smiles. Jeremy shook his head. "Well, we should look up that rosebud thing, right?" Jeremy nods and starts the computer. They find a page about flower's meaning, and Jeremy scroll down the list until he finds Rosebud.

"What does it say Jer?" Elena asks across the room. Jeremy swallows. "Oh man…" he whispers.

"What?" Elena sounds a little worried. "What does it say?"

"It says 'I have loved you a long time in secret', I feel really bad about this now…" Elena hurries to walk over to Jeremy and put an arm around his broad shoulders.

"Jer, it's not your fault that someone falls in love with you. Or well, it kinda is… But there's nothing we can do about this. We can try to figure out who it is, but what if it's someone you really wish it wasn't? It could really become complicated"

"You're right… but I really want to know who it is!" Jeremy looked at Elena and smiled. "Like you said, this is romantic" Elena smiles too. Then she smiles wider.

"Do you remember any of the people who were around you when you draw the lilies?" Jeremy first looks stoked but then he sighs.

"Damn, it was in the schoolyard at lunch break. Everyone was around…"

Jeremy and Elena spend their afternoon trying to figure out different ways of finding out who it was, but every way fails.

"Maybe we could call the flower shop?" Jeremy suggests. He looks at the card. "'Claire's Flower shop'… hand me the yellow papers" Elena gives him the thick directory. Jeremy quickly finds the number and dials it.

"Claire's Flower shop, how may I help you?" A light-voiced woman answers the phone.

"Uh… hi, my name is Jeremy Gilbert and I received some flowers from your shop today… eh, I just like to know who sent them?"

"Oh, Mr Gilbert! Happy birthday… I couldn't help but read the card, it was very cute! But I'm sorry; the customer wants to stay anonymous."

"Please tell me, I want to say thanks."

"I'm sorry, but the customer was very firm on that point. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"No, but thanks anyway." Jeremy hangs up. "Damn…" The doorbell rings again, but this time Jeremy doesn't need to open, because the persons let themselves in. Bonnie and Caroline.

"I can't believe that she didn't leave a name!" Caroline whined.

"I wish I could do a spell to find her, but I don't think that's possible!" Bonnie and Caroline finally made it to the room where Elena and Jeremy sat.

"Hi guys! How do you feel about your Secret Admirer?" Caroline asks and smiles.

"Elena!" Jeremy shouts.

"Sorry Jer, I just had to tell someone!" Elena pouts at him, and he sighs.

"And now the whole town knows, right?" Jeremy can't help but be a bit sulky. He doesn't want everyone to know. Caroline suddenly snaps her fingers.

"I just came up with a wonderful idea! We spread the word that you got the bouquet and that you want to know who sent it; she will hear it and might agree to reveal herself!" She looks excited. Jeremy nods a little.

"It's a pretty good idea actually… will you girls take care of it?" Caroline nods eagerly, Bonnie and Elena just shrugs.

"But how do we know it's a girl?" Bonnie asks, Jeremy stares at her.

"No, no, no, no, no! Don't ever go there! It's a girl, end of discussion!"

"Jeremy, you don't know that! If it's a guy, you can clearly see why it would be complicated!" Bonnie argues. Jeremy holds his hands over his ears.

"I don't want to discuss this anymore; I'm taking the flowers – from a girl – to my room." He goes to the kitchen and grabs the vase with the bouquet, and then he hurries up the stairs. He locks his door and puts down the vase at his bedside table. Then he throws himself at the bed and looks at the flowers, and sits up and smells at the flowers. It smells wonderful. It can't be a boy who sent them, it just can't. Bonnie is wrong. He lay down at his bed again. He tries to imagine the girl who sent them. It's hard, but he mixes Vicki, Anna and Megan Fox and decides that it's the way she looks. He replaces the small, perfect nose by a rather big one that reminds him of Tyler's. But hey, he has always secretly thought Tyler's nose is pretty cute. He hides that thought in the back of his mind. Don't think about that! He says to himself. He looks at the flowers. Then he thinks about his made up Vicki-Anna-Megan-Fox-Tyler-girl. He considers about throwing Bonnie into the mix too, but decides she's not cute enough. He picks up a lily and slowly caresses his cheek with it. It's smooth, and feels really nice. Jeremy feels his face heat up a little.

Why the hell do I blush when I touch myself with a flower? Touch himself with a flower? That sounds so fucked up that Jeremy abruptly stops and put the lily back into the vase.

A/N: I know it sucks, but I'm really trying here! So, tell me what you think and sorry about the Bonnie-bashing at the end, but I don't like Bonnie. I mean, who in their right minds ever thinks it's a good idea to pair up Bonnie and Jeremy? *sigh* Anyhow, it might take a while before I update any of my stories, 'cuz I'm going on a summer camp for 4 weeks in a couple of days… so, we'll see when I continue, but I can promise you I will
