PS : Good response can really motivate me to update soon.. ;)
Damon stared at the ring in his hand, he could not believe he was really doing this. He was going to propose Elena, the girl he loved since he was 15. When he graduated from high school, he never thought, he would see her ever again but then again fate does weird things and things that could work in your favour sometimes.
After years, she was here with him and he couldn't be happy anymore. She was the best thing that ever happened to him and he did not regret meeting her or welcoming her back into his life.
Sure, when Elena met him after 5 years, he resisted giving in. He tried to stay away from her. Hell he even had Rose at that time but he still couldn't fight off the attraction between them. She walked back into his life like a gust of wind, placing everything in right position.
He was in love with her and he'll always love her. He had already send everyone out of the house. His brother, Stefan and his going to-be sister-in-law, Caroline had been sent for a dinner date at the plaza. His best friend, Bonnie and her boyfriend, Enzo had gone for a movie with his drinking buddy, Alaric in tow.
Hearing her footsteps pulled him out of his thoughts. A glimpse of a smile appeared on his face as he waited for her arrival and when he heard a gasp, he came into the view, the smile on his face growing. There she was, looking gorgeous as always in her black dress with her high heels on. Her chocolate hair neatly secured in an elegant bun and her soft olive skin shinning in candle's lights.
She was surprised, it was written all over her beautiful face. "What's all this?" She motioned her hand towards the candles which gave the room a soft glow and the rose petals adorning the table beautifully.
"I know it's not too much but it was all I could do" he scratched the back of his neck, nervously as she keep staring at him with an unidentified expression. He took few steps towards her and cup her cheeks gently.
He kissed her softly. "Elena are you okay?" He asked with concern. She was shocked, he was expecting that but now she was standing completely still, it was scaring him.
What if he proposed to her and she said no? He'll loose her but he had to try. He came down on his knee and held the ring in his finger, looking at her. He watched as her hands covers her mouth, her expressions blank.
"Elena Gilbert… I know it must be looking creepy to you, considering you have an attitude which is high as of sky" he chuckled at his own joke. "But still I want you in my life forever. I'm in love with you. I've been since I was 15 when you walked straight into me in that hall way of school. I just never realized it until now".
He noticed that she wasn't saying anything, she was just looking at him with wide eyes. His heart sank, she didn't love him. She must have never expected this from him. He couldn't blame her though. He, Damon Salvatore who always mocked and acted like he did not believe in love, relationships, was on his knees now.
"It's okay if you say no but just say something Elena" he said sadly and then he noticed her movement. Her hand went back to her back pocket and his brows furrowed in confusion.
He looked at the ring and watch as she brought her hands forward holding something. Damon's heart skip a beat when he realized in her hands was a gun. The gun was pointed on his forehead and ring fell from his hands.
"Stand up, smart ass" she smirked as he stand up, holding his hands up in surrender. Her hands were not even trembling, Damon noticed.
"Elena?" He was in shock. He didn't knew what was happening. Just a few minutes ago he was on his knees in front of that girl and now the same girl was pointing the gun at him.
"Never thought you'll get fooled in such a short time" a familiar voice came from the darkness and he struggled to see the man's face but when he did, he couldn't believe his eyes.
The man laughs coldly. "Oh Damon don't be so surprised"
"He made me do work so hard to get his attention. Asshole." Elena said with a smirk.
Damon was speechless, he was at loss of words. The girl he loved was pointing a gun at him and the person he hated with his guts was standing in front of him. And he? He was vulnerable.
"You got what you wanted Elena?" The man looked at Elena while Damon just stood there, shocked.
"Yes. I completed my part, now it's your turn" she said.
"I'll but first do the honours. Are you going to shoot him or I've to do that?" the man let out an evil chuckle and Damon's blood ran cold.
"Killing him wasn't the part of the plan" he heard Elena argue back and something in her voice gave him hope. May be just may be she cared about him after all.
"Plans change sweetheart" the main said. "I think I should do the honours then"
"Oh he loves me. It's the least I can do" her brown eyes which Damon grown to love were holding no compassion just coldness. "You'll die by hands of the love of your life" she told him.
Damon's blue eyes met her brown one's. He was on verge of crying. He never cried in his life except on his mother's funeral but now he was feeling betrayed. He watched, her hands bringing the gun to his forehead once again.
"Why?" Damon's voice broke as he asked the dreading question which was bothering him.
"Blame the fate" she smiled sweetly as she placed her fingers on trigger.
"No. My Love's to blame" he whispered as he closed his eyes, accepting his fate.
"Goodbye Damon"
They were the last words he heard before the sound of trigger pulling reached his ears and everything went black.
