PROLOGUE:
Elena looked at her phone, blank again, she thought. The expression on her face was very lifeless. She began to wonder if he was ever going to text her, if he was every going to show the side she knew was there. She sighed and brushed a few strands hair out of her face.
She looked over to her desk where a picture of them both was; she picked up the frame and was in complete awe. She brushed over their faces with two fingers; a smile peaked across her face.
She missed what they had, what they were, before all this seemed to of come out.
"Damon? Damon… I don't know how to ever repay you. Somehow, someway I will…and that's a promise." She vowed.
He cupped her face, "Elena, you being here, is enough of a pay-back." A smile seemed to of rose on both of their faces.
Elena grabbed each hand and pulled them down and on her hips; he brought her into a strong, forceful hug. For once in her life, she felt safe…secure. And at that moment, she finally understood what it felt like to be loved and wanted. She wasn't around because she was an obligation, she was there because Damon Salvatore wanted her around.
Her hair fell onto his shoulder, she heard his heart beat, and she couldn't imagine this getting any better than what it already is.
She looked up at the man that held her and made her feel secure and she placed her lips on his cheek, "Thank you." She whispered. "I love you." She said moving herself back some.
Her eyes had this sparkle in them that Damon couldn't understand. The sparkle that took his breath every time she looked at him. She had this smile that made him forget all his troubles, even if just for a few seconds.
Damon placed his hand on Elena's neck, "Elena, I love you".
