Please just give it a try and let me know what you think...
"Damon, stop it!" Elena shouted frustrated as Damon kept throwing grapes at her. She had homework she needed to get caught up on. She was so focused on Stefan that she fell very behind on her school work. She was just having a hard time getting over Stefan leaving, and that there was a good chance that he wasn't coming back- in her life time, that is. Right now she just needed this normal activity that would let her focus on something other than the supernatural world.
"I'm bored Elena." He said drawing her name out, pouting like a little boy.
"Well go to the Grill or something." She said brushing him off. She didn't have time to be distracted and that was exactly what Damon was, a big distraction.
"And leave you here to handle this by yourself you may get into trouble." Damon mocked.
"Your right, gasp, I may get a paper cut!" She said sarcastically. Damon liked watching her get slightly irritated, he was just relieved to see some emotion on her face, that wasn't the blank stares she was having lately. He was worried about her, not that he was going to tell her or anybody that, but with Stefan being gone, and the nightmares she's been having, he couldn't help but worry that she was going to break.
"Fine." He huffed and leaned back in to the couch kicking his feet up on her coffee table. It amazed her that Damon didn't even hesitate to make himself at home even when he wasn't welcome. He grabbed for the remote and turned the TV on skimming for something, he rested on USA's new TV series Suits. He wasn't a huge fan of it but, it didn't suck like the other shows aired on television. He hated how they took all the good shows off the air except for one channel but that left him with many channels that aired shows like Jersey Shore. Hell with the way everyone was able to get on air for anything, he could have his own show. He could definitely teach them all the basic 101 of the Supernatural world.
"Ok I give, what do you want to do?" Elena asked knowing when she sat down to work on her Math that she was just kidding herself, for one she couldn't stand Calculus and with Damon's company and him trying to distract her, she would just get lost
"Finally, let's go." He cheered taking her out to his car. He couldn't help but feel a little spark as he touched her hand, pulling her outside. Little did he know, he was sending a shock wave of tingles up her arm making it hard for her to concentrate on other things, and caused her to trip over her own feet causing him to laugh at her.
"You ok?" he asked opening her door.
"Yep," She nodded slightly embarrassed.
She sat in the passenger seat in silence. She smiled at the music on the radio it could perfectly describe her feelings right now. She watched as he scenery went by. Before looking at Damon and smiled at the care-free attitude he was showing.
"Where are we going?" She asked looking around looking slightly confused. For all she knew they could be on a trip like their past trip to Atlanta, only this time it was somewhere new.
"Now where's the fun in that?" Damon asked with a big smirk on his face.
"Damon." She said rolling her eyes annoyed, with his secretive attitude.
She sighed when she realized that he wasn't going to tell her, no matter how many times she asked. She looked back out of the window and couldn't help but smile at the thought that they were going to take a "five minute break".
Damon couldn't help but look over at her, every few minutes. To his disappointment he couldn't see her face because her chocolaty brown hair fell like a curtain in front of her face. He was glad he was able to bring her out so she could finally have fun, for once with no supernatural trouble around. He wasn't sure how long it was going to last so they might as well as enjoy it while they can.
"What are we doing here?" Elena asked Damon as he pulled them into a bar and grill, just a few towns away from Mystic Falls.
"Dinner and drinks," He said climbing out of the car, checking surroundings for supernatural trouble.
"We could just have gone to the Grill." She pointed out. "Save some gas."
"True, but now what's the chance of running into someone you know." He said. In a blink, he was by her door and opened with a hand extended. He smiled as she slipped her small hand into his and walked into the bar still hand and hand.
The pair sat down at a booth in back and were looking at the menu waiting to order when the waitress came by, her eyes on Damon and his body. Elena quickly ordered and saw that the waitress wasn't even looking at her as she ordered. The waitress was too focused on Damon and trying to get his attention, by flipping her hair and sticking her chest out..
"I'll just have a cheeseburger." He said looking at Elena trying to figure out what was going on in that head of hers. Her doe eyes were filled with worry.
"Just relaxed, lets drink and make it a good night." Damon said smiling.
"Ok." She sighed.
Elena was on her 3rd drink, when Damon was going to go get a real bite to eat.
"Elena I'm going to step out. Will you be ok?" He asked carefully. He watched as she nodded and then he went to go out behind the ally with their waitress from the night.
He took the girl out back and compelled her not to scream. He held her to the wall drinking from her neck. He could feel her pull at his shirt as the pleasure was getting to be to much for her. When he felt he took enough, he compelled her to forget and then headed back into Elena.
He didn't realize how long he took but he didn't leave her long enough for her to get into trouble. He walked in and his heart dropped when he saw she wasn't at the bar where he left her and she wasn't at any of the tables. He quickly turned around looking all directions hoping to catch a glimpse of her, when he did he wished he didn't. Elena was on the dance floor, dancing with two guys, she was beyond wasted. Damon saw the guys on both sides of her groping her, and grinding against her. When he saw one of the sleazebags dip his hand under her shirt, Damon wanted to rip his arm off. He marched over and pushed the guy away from her. Damon grabbed a hold of her arm and pulled her close. A glare at the men sent them away to find another girl.
"Damon, you're here." She said smiling and giggled drunkenly as he pulled her through the crowd.
"Damon, you're hurting me." She winced as his grip subconsciously tightened as he thought about the men on the dance floor.
"I'm sorry." He said dropping her arm all together.
She giggled and stumbled towards him. "I missed yoouu." She slurred. "I dont know what I wooould dooo if yoooou died."
"I'm sure you would be fine." Damon said. Normally he was all for drunk Elena but he was having a hard time hearing her say caring things about him. He slowly was trying to help her get to the car. Damon knew deep down that Elena was only saying caring things because she was trying to not make him feel bad about himself.
"Nooo I wooulldn't."
"I want a drink." She giggled as he picked her up in his arms carrying her.
"No I think you've had three too many."
"Damon, dont be a party poooper." She mumbled against the crook of his neck inhaling his devilish aroma that was as always mixed with the smell of bourbon. She loved that smell, she loved being able to identify him. He smells so perfect and it was the perfect smell that made her want to snuggle against him and fall asleep in his arms.
"How about we go to a hotel and get you to bed." Damon said, normally he would love to try to get her into bed with him but right now he knew she needed to sleep it off. She was going to have one hell of a hangover in the morning and didn't he didn't want her to do anything she would regret.
Damon pulled into the hotel, Elena was slowly starting to pass out. Smiling as he opened her door and pulled her out, he picked her up bridal style.
"Damon?" Elena slurred into his neck. He walked over to check in counter and ignored the worried looks he was getting from the receptionist.
"She's fine, she just had one too many." Damon said with his charming smirk. "We need a room, your going to get us one, free of charge." Damon compelled the young male.
He got the room key and went to the elevator holding Elena in his arms, he still had a protective grip on her after seeing that douches hand going under her shirt. He wasn't going to let anybody touch her again. He still wanted to go back and kick the guys ass and break a few fingers.
"Damon," Elena slurred as he gently shifted her around to unlock the hotel door.
"Hold on 'Lena, you're almost to the bed." Damon said, he brushed her hair back from her face.
He pulled back the covers and gently laid her down. His gaze fell to her shirt, that was resting on her stomach showing some of her olive toned skin. He quickly decided to ignore it before he did something he regretted. He pulled off her black converse and let them fall to the floor with a thud next to the bed. He was about to turn around deciding it would be best to give her space but she grabbed a hold of his wrist holding him back.
"Don't Leave." She begged as she was about to fall into slumber. Damon pulled off his shirt, his belt and shoes and climbed on the other side of the bed. He was shocked when he felt her small body curl up against his. As much as he wanted to do the right thing and push her away, he couldn't find the will power to do so.
"Elena, stop." He said as he felt her soft smooth lips move across his neck kissing him gently. He never thought he would be the one pushing her away. As much as he would love to take her right now, he knew she was drunk and in the morning she would tell him it was a mistake and he didn't think he could take hearing her say those words. His dead heart wouldn't be able to handle it. He's been working so hard to get her to trust him, and becoming a true friend she could trust. He sighed as she rolled over with a dejected huff.
'Oh the control she has of me' he thought to himself before drifting off to sleep.
She felt her head throbbing as she rolled over. She heard the shower running and slowly opened her eyes. The sun was shining through the window making her eyes hurt.
'Where am I?' Elena thought, as she looked around the unfamiliar room.
She couldn't remember last night, the only few things that were clear was Damon and drinking way too much.
"Well sleeping beauty is finally awake." a mocking voice said from the other side of the room. She turned her head to see Damon standing there with a towel resting low on his hips. Elena watched the water drip from his wet raven hair, roll down his chiseled chest and disappeared under the white towel. She couldn't help but subconsciously lick her lips at the sight.
"What happened last night?" Elena asked as she caught his eyes and saw the smirk on his face. A blush slowly appeared on her checks as she got caught checking him out.
"Somebody had a little too much to drink," Damon smiled. Last night's events were slowly coming back to her in blurry pieces.
"All I remember is after you left, I drank and then danced with somebody." Elena pieced together and stopped as she saw him tense. 'Oh no what did I do?' she thought wishing last night events were coming back to her quicker..
"What?" she asked slowly.
"Nothing, do you want something to eat?" He asked avoiding her eyes but desperately wanted to change the subject.
"Yes please." she agreed throwing the pillow over her head to block the suns painful rays. Sighing as she heard her phone ring she reached over and groaned at the caller ID which said 'Jenna'.
"Hello?" She moaned into the phone and bit her lip hoping Jenna didn't catch on to her hangover.
"Elena where are you? Ric said you're not at school!" She heard Jenna screamed into the phone worried. Elena winced at her aunt's tone, Elena replied, "I'm ok. I'm with Damon."
"With Damon! Why are you with Damon?" Jenna asked her voice turning sour.
"Because I'm awesome company!" Damon smirked coming into the room shouting it loud enough for Jenna to hear his boasting.
"Go put clothes on." Elena snapped throwing the pillow at the sight of Damon still in his towel which was dangerously getting lower each time she saw him. Not liking the feelings she got when she looked at him she reminded herself that he was Stefan's brother and he was her friend, she couldn't start looking at him in a new light.
"Feisty." Damon grinned.
"What! Damon's naked!" Jenna shrieked her voice becoming sqeaky
"What! Jenna no! Elena said quickly trying to diffuse the situation.
"She wishes I was!" Damon yelled into the phone.
Elena could feel a blush come to her cheeks and walked into the living room ignoring the smirk and the eye thing that he always does that was panty dropping.
"Jenna I'll be home by dinner." Elena said with a glare at Damon who was getting on her nerves by purposely trying to make the situation worse.
"Do not hang up this phone, Elena!" Jenna yelled beyond peeved that her niece was in some hotel room, with Damon Salvatore who always seemed to get Elena into some type of trouble and often came across as an asshole. Him lacking clothes even made her angrier and more concerned.
"Jenna please, I promise I will be home by dinner." Elena said crossing her fingers not knowing if they would even be home by that time.
"You better Elena!" She warned. After hanging up the phone she went into the bathroom to get a quick shower. Elena the warm water run down her back, releasing the tension in her shoulders. After the water started to run cold, she shut off the water and reached out to grab the towel she had ready and came out just grasping at air.
Her heart jumped and she poked her head out of the shower and saw her clothes and all the towels were gone.
"DAMON!" She yelled. If only she had a stake, he would be dead for good. The scary part was that she didn't even hear him come in to take her things. 'Stupid vampire speed.' She cursed to herself. She couldn't just walk out there in her birthday suit as much as Damon would love that she was left with no other choice but to come up with another idea. She looked up and smiled when she saw the shower curtain was only attached by little metal hoops that could easily be taken off. She carefully tore it down and wrapped it around her body tightly.
Opening the door and peeked her head out she smiled to herself when she saw that Damon was nowhere in sight. But there on the bed laid her towel. She quickly ran out into the room to grab it when suddenly it was gone right before her eyes.
"DAMON!" She yelled again this time annoyed and very conscious that she was only wearing a shower curtain. She spun around to see Damon laughing hard holding the towel that was just on the bed.
"I have other ways to make you scream my name." He flirted.
"Damon..." She said in a warning tone. She would be blushing if she wasn't so mad about him taking her towel. "Can I please have it back?" She asked patiently, while gripping onto the shower curtain afraid it would slip and show all her business.
"Uh let me think about that…um no," He grinned with a glint in his eye.
"No? What do you mean NO? Give it!" She yelled, putting one hand on her hip while the other held the curtain up.
"Nope." he teased popping the 'p'.
"Come on. I'm wet and cold." She pleaded as she felt the spring breeze come into contact with her skin, forming goose bumps on her body.
"What are you willing to do for it?" He taunted raising an eyebrow.
"How about a dinner and movie night?" Elena tried, ignoring the obvious jab at the way he wanted to go with the conversation.
"Deal," He said throwing her the towel. "Friday after school you're mine for the weekend."
By the look on her face he knew that she expected some sexual, sarcastic suggestion to come out off of his mouth. When he proposed what he wanted he thought about a date, but he didn't want to risk anything.
"Alright," She agreed grabbing yesterday's clothes before returning to the bathroom to change this time she made sure she locked the door behind her.
