Alright! So Elena has finally chosen Damon, no strings attached! AND…it is summer…AND Elena will be living at the Salvatore Mansion with Damon. This series is going to continue over the Summer and basically have A LOT of Delena fluff, enjoying the break before Elena goes off to college. Since Julie Plec said that we would be able to enjoy Delena for a while and the series doesn't cover what happens during the Summer, I am writing this fic. Also, Damon and Elena aren't going to know about Stefan because they figured he left town.

This first chapter is going to be about a town barbeque/potluck in the forest and near the falls a couple days after graduation.

Elena's POV

I shove two uncooked apple pies into the oven of the Salvatore's massive kitchen. I stand barefoot wearing just my underwear and one of Damon's t-shirts. I set the kitchen timer for an hour just as Damon comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist. He rests his head on my shoulder and a smile spreads quickly across my face.

"You know…that pie has to bake for a while," Damon says with his usual teasing voice, "and I'm already shirtless."

I turn around in his arms and he presses his perfect lips to mine as we lean up against the counter. He quickly spins around and lays me on top of the kitchen island before climbing on top.

"You know, I just wiped the counters," I sigh while he kisses my neck.

"Then I guess you'll have to wipe them again and again until we're done here."

I sigh happily, letting him take me there in the middle of the room.

We end up taking a quick shower together and I put on my little black bikini underneath my florally dress. Damon wears his swimming trunks and a t-shirt, although I'd prefer if he just swam naked.

The sun shines brightly in the afternoon sky and the barbeque is buzzing with people, laughter, and joy. Damon and I pull into the makeshift parking area in his blue Camaro. When we get out of the car, Damon hurries over to my side so he can escort me to the party.

Caroline hurries over to us giving me a tight hug after I set the pies on the dessert table. Glancing around us, I feel finally content. Although Jeremy can't come out in public because people think that he is dead, I am thrilled that he is alive. I just wish that Bonnie would come back from visiting her mom's so I can thank her.

"Elena!" Caroline squeals, "We HAVE to talk about college. We can go anywhere, but the question still stands; WHERE?!"

Her excitement over the simple human-like experiences makes me happy.

"Absolutely. Just tell me when and where." Caroline just claps her hands with excitement. "But right now, we are going to get some food," I say, about to pull Damon towards the grill.

"Wait! I can't believe I haven't told you yet," her eyes open wide with shock, "Klaus is letting Tyler back into town. I just can't seem to reach him on his phone, but I will find him, even if it takes me ten years."

"Oh, Caroline, I am so happy for you."

"Thank you. It was the best graduation present anybody could ever give me." In her eyes, I could see her fighting affection for a terrible man who was softened by a bubbly teenage girl.

After Damon and I get some food, we mingle with some of my other high school friends and other towns people.

"Hey, I am going to go get a drink, can I get you anything?" Damon asks before he leaves me with a couple of friends to talk.

When he comes back I have already slipped out of my dress to go for a swim.

"Oh, I see how it is. You've decided to start without me," Damon hands me my drink while quickly drinking his so he can put his hands on me instead.

"Not in public, Damon," I whisper while he rubs his hands up and down my torso.

"I know." He pulls his t-shirt off and tosses it aside and continuing feeling me up.

"I said not in public," I smile, tossing my drink to the side, right as I hold on tight to him and fling us over the waterfall and into the water hole.

When we reach the surface again, people are cheering and whistling. I even heard one teenage boy shout out "yeah! Get some!"

Damon holds onto me, keeping both of us afloat. We kiss a little bit, but restrain ourselves slightly since there are several others trying to enjoy the water as well.

As the night begins to settle in, the fires begin to blaze and the teenagers get a little bit more risky with the contents of their solo cups.

"I hope my brother is ok," I finally whisper to Caroline and Damon as we sit on a bench around the fire, "I wish he was here to have fun with us. He gets revived back to life and I'm out here partying without him."

Damon sighs and gulps the last little bit of his drink before pulling the car keys out of his pocket.

"How about this; I'll go back to the house and hang out with little Gilbert and Caroline brings you back to me after a little bit more drinking and hanging with your friends," Damon suggests, "I'm sure he wants to have the 'I'll kill you if you hurt my sister' talk anyways."

I am about to protest, but Damon plants his mouth over mine and holds me there. "I'll see you at home," he whispers before disappearing. I close my eyes and smile really big and Caroline notices.

"He makes you happy, doesn't he?" she purses her lips together.

I swallow hard, knowing that she may never come to accept Damon, but nod my head anyways.

"Then I can't complain." Caroline shrugs her shoulders and I pull her into a tight hug because everything was practically perfect.
