It was an ordinary, cloudy day as Elena was preparing herself for the first day as an Intern at Salvatore Law Firm. She had chosen a black pencil skirt and a pastel green blouse. Her pin straight hair was loose hanging freely around her shoulders. With a final check in the bathroom mirror, she walked out to the tiny kitchen in the apartment she shared with her best friend Rebekah Mikaleson.
"Morning." Elena chirped brightly pouring herself a cup of coffee. Rebekah jumped up from her place in the wooden chair sat in the corner of the lounge.
"Elena, you look beautiful." Rebekah expressed and hugged Elena tightly.
"I second that." Elena didn't notice Tyler, Rebekah's long time boyfriend, laying on the couch watching the small TV the girls had saved to buy. Rebekah stared at Tyler and told him to pipe down. Elena laughed at their bickering.
"I better get going, don't want to be late on my first day." Elena said checking the time one the microwave's clock.
"Bye sweetheart, you're going to rock this internship. Love ya." Rebekah pecked her on the cheek before hurrying over to jump on Tyler. Elena hoped she was right.
"Love you too." With that Elena was gone, bound for Salvatore Law Firm, where, hopefully, her dreams of becoming a great lawyer would be kick started.
...
Elena's car pulled into the parking lot, and she checked her reflection in the mirror again, before heading into the Firm.
"Hello, my name is Elena Gilbert, I'm starting an internship here today." Elena tried to sound confident and professional as she spoke to the receptionist.
"Yeah sure, I just need you to fill out these forms." The woman (Rose, according to her name badge) handed her a clipboard and the appropriate forms. It took Elena about 20 minutes to complete them, and once she was finished she handed them back to Rose. She skimmed over them, checking it was okay before sending a message into Damon Salvatore, her new boss.
Rose instructed her the way to Damon's office. Once she made it to the door she knocked hard.
"Come in." Came a voice from inside, presumably Damon's.
She opened the door and made her way in. Seated at his desk, Damon was hunched over his work, his dark hair concealing his face. He looked up at her and Elena's heart skipped a beat. He was gorgeous. Damon had flawless skin, a mouth perfectly constructed for kissing and astounding blue eyes she could drown in. She knew she was staring so she pulled her eyes away.
"Elena Gilbert. I'm your new intern." She extended her hand and Damon took it in his grasp, and rather than shaking it, he bought it to his lips and kissed the soft skin gently. Elena felt the sparks.
"Welcome to Salvatore Law Firm, Elena. I'm pleased to have you working with us. Tell me about yourself Miss Gilbert" Damon gestured for her to sit on the chair placed opposite him.
"There's not much to tell. I'm 19 years old and I graduated High School last year. I'm taking a year's break before college. I live with my best friend Rebekah in a small apartment. Small family, few friends. I have lived in Mystic Falls my entire life, but I have dreams of one day escaping. That's about all there is to know about me." She spoke shyly. Elena didn't have a lot of confidence to begin with, but Damon, wow, he made her feel like a hopeless child.
"Interesting." Damon spoke for a while about office guild lines and what her role as an intern would require and the likes. While he talked Elena couldn't help but watch him intently.
"Any questions Miss Gilbert?" He smirked at her; the grin took her breath away. It was so appealing ad so was Damon.
"None at all Mr. Salvatore. Once again thank you for this opportunity." Elena said gratefully, standing from the chair and smiling back at Damon. He also stood and walked around her side of the desk. He placed his hand on her back and walked with her towards the door. Elena couldn't help but tense. He was so close to her.
"I will be calling on you soon Miss Gilbert, but for now make yourself comfortable." Damon opened the door for her and she made her way outside. Walking away towards her desk, she didn't hear his door close behind her for quite a few seconds.
Elena's first day wore on and she couldn't tear her mind away from Damon. The way he spoke, looked, acted he was so... Enchanting.
