Prologue

"You really should give them a hand," I said, smiling coyly at the gorgeous man beside me, looking into his cerulean eyes, "He really looks like he have no idea how to interpret all those obvious signs my friend is giving him!"

Caroline is, at the moment, batting her lashes at the sandy-haired cutie beside her. She is sipping her cocktail in the most ladylike way I've ever seen her, while she bobbed her head up and down, hanging on to the cutie's every word.

"Leave it to my brother to ignore any advances beautiful women have been throwing him," the man beside me quipped, "I swear I thought he was going to enroll himself into a monastary, or worse, come out of his closet!"

"But you, my lovely lady," He turned to me suddenly. "Feel free to come on to me in any way you like. Unlike my brother there with his thick skull, I definitely know how to treat a girl right." He winked.

"Right, and you don't even remember that we have met before!" I laughed. "A kiss say you can't even remember my name, Damon."

"You're on!" Damon furrowed his brows in concentration. God... His eyes are just so captivating and blue. I don't even dare to maintain eye contact for more than 3 seconds. Who knows how long I need to pull myself out of the deep blue ocean of his eyes.

"Amy? Karen? Erm..." His eyes lit up suddenly, like a lightbulb just went off in his mind. "Elly! Right? I know I'm right! Come on, pay up!" He puckered his lips suggestively.

I looked at him, wearing a look of awe and surprise. "Wow! I have to say, a girl really should feel flattered that she's remembered by the great Damon Salvatore."

He looked entirely too pleased with himself. I can see him leaning forward, looking at me expectantly, his blue eyes almost boring into my soul. He closed his eyes and hovered, waiting for me to close the last 2cm of space in between us, when I dodged out of the way at the last minute.

"But nope, no such luck. I guess I'm just not memorable enough."

I smiled and left him standing with his jaw slack and mouth wide open, while I floated away, motioning to Caroline that I'm leaving, and exited the club.
