It was early morning and Elena had just woken up. Had it been a dream? No, it seemed too real to be a dream. So then it must have happened. Damon had kissed her. And for some twised reason she had liked it. She didn't understand why. Why did she like him? She understood now that she did actually have feelings for him. She had tried to deny it for a long time now, but after that kiss she couldn't say that she didn't.
He pased back and forth over the floor in his bedroom. Why had he done it. Well, he knew why, but why! How could he have been so stupid. Now Elena would probably never want to speak to him or see him again. Great! Damon was so frustrated with himself. Maybe I should go and check on her? he thought. But he didn't. He was to afraid of what she might say, so he just kept walking aimlessly around his room.
She felt like she ought to go see him. She needed to know if it actually happened. She wanted it so badly to be true, for some reason. She didn't know why. All she knew was that she felt this need to be with him. It was different than what she had felt for Stefan. It was Saturday morning and she didn't have anything she had to do, so she decided she would drive over to the boardinghouse and see Damon. She suddely felt this urge to hold him in her grabbed her car keys and went out in the car. Suddenly she heard the sound from her phone. She had gotten a text from Damon. Elena, can we talk? If it's okey with you of course...
She quickly sent a reply that said: I'm on my way to your place right now. There's something I need to talk to you about too...
There's something I need to talk to you about too...
She wanted to talk to him? Was she going to give him some crap about how they could never happen because of Stefan? He wasn't sure if he could handle that. Of course, he would never let Elena see that, but when she had left he would probably go a little bit crazy, break some stuff at least. No he couldn't think like this. After a while he could hear a car pulling up in front of the house. He was downstairs by the door in a second and opened the door to let Elena in. "Hey" he said. Ahe just looked at him, nervously? Why was she nervous? What was going on?
Elena walked inside the big house and went to sit down in the livingroom. Damon followed her quietly. She remembered what he'd said last night. About them being right, just not right now. "Damon, i think this is the right time" she said after a moment of silence. "What?" he said, looking surprised. "I think we might work" she said. "Really? You think it was ok that I kissed you?" he said with his crooked smile that was just so adorable now. "Actually yea... I think I'm in love with you Damon" she said.
She was in love with him. She had said she was in love with him! He was in shock. He didn't know what to say. He took her hand and sqeezed it in his. "Well, as you might have noticed I kind of are in love with you too" he said after a while. "I mean, how can I not be?" he asked. She smiled and blushed just a little bit. Usually when people did that, if he didn't consetrate he would feel the thirst burning in his throat. But for some reason he didn't feel anything right now. He smiled at her and then walked over to her to close the space between them. He took her face in his hands. Her beautiful, fragile face. Then he leaned in and kissed her.
This was the second time Elena had felt Damon press his lips against hers. And she had to admit, she didn't have anything against it. She lifted her hands to his and held him there as if she never wanted him to let go. But then he pulled away, too soon she thought. He stood there and looked at her for a while. She couldn't quite figure out what emotion was showing on his face, so she just hugges him, wrapped her hands around his neck and he wrappes his around her wais. They stood like this for what seemed like forever, but when he let go it was like only a few seconds had passed. "What are we gonna do now?" Damon asked. Yea, what were they gonna do? Elena had no idea. "I really don't know she said, and laughed a little. He laughed too. "You know what, letss go for a walk" he said. "A walk?" "Yes, a walk.. i want to show you something".
What did he want to show her? She didn't know, but she didn't mind taking a walk with him either. She took his hand that he held out at her. And they walked outside. They started walking around towards the back of the big house. Towards the forest. "What exctly is it you're gonna show me?" Elena asked. "I have something I wanna give you.. but we have to go and get it first" he said with that crooked smile she loved so much. He squeezed her hand and then they continued walking. They didn't go far though. Just about twnty to thirty metres into the forest. Damon then stopped by a hollow tree and let go of Elenas hand to go look for something in the tree.
He had this necklace that he had once gotten from his mother. You will meet a special girl one day, a girl you will fall in love with. Give this to her. He remebered the moment so clearly. He felt a sting in his chest from the loss of his mother. There, he found it. He breathed out a reliefed sigh. He was afraid Stefan might have taken it, but he hadn't. He climed back down and stood in front of Elena and looked at her. She looked exactly like Kathrine, but then again, there was something different about her too. He thoguht he had felt strongly for Kathrine. This though, was something totally different, something even stronger. He couldn't help himself, he walked over to Elena and kissed her again. Then he showed her the necklace. "My mother gave this to me, a long time ago" he said. "She told me that I were to give this to the girl Iwould fall in love with". Elena smiled a little. "It's beautiful!" she said. "May I?" he asked. She nodded and he walked so he was ataning behind her. Then he put the necklace around her neck. He walked back to face her and he was that there was tears in her eyes. "What's wrong?" he asked worried. "Nothing it's just.. I don't know.. I love the necklace Damon, it's beautiful" she said and wiped the tears away and smiled at him.
Elena was so touched by this gesture. Damon had given him a necklace he had gotten from his mom. She didn't really know why she had cried, she just couldn't help it. Damon lifted her up in his arms, kissed her forhead, then her lips, but suddely he froze. He lifted his head and lookes around. He put me down in front of a big tree so I was standing with my back up against it. The he placed himself in front of me. He took my hand with one of his and then he went into some kind of protective mode. "Hello brother... " He said and out from the trees came Stefan...
