Elena Gilbert was barely out of bed when she heard her phone ring, it was something like 7am, who could call her that early in the morning? She turned to take a look around her room to find her phone. After a quick look, she found it on her bedside-table. She ran to see who was calling. She checked the name that appeared: Damon. Off course it was Damon, who else could it be, how could she not have guessed before. That was totally Damon's style to call at such an hour like 7am, she was even surprised he didn't call earlier, just to bother her a little more. However, she sat on her bed and found herself saying:

"Damon, what is it?"

"Can't I just call you to hear that beautiful voice of yours?"

She could practically see him smirking and doing his infamous eye-thing he always does. She just rolled her eyes and said:

"Well, I guess you have something on your mind, don't you?"

"Elena, you know, you have this disturbing ability to read me like an open book."

She rolled her eyes once again and chuckled a bit before saying:

"What do you need? And couldn't it wait until later? Like, until ... I don't know ... 9am? When I'm fully up."

"So I just, miss the opportunity to see you, wearing those cute little pajama shorts of yours?"

She turned around and saw him sitting on a chair near her window. She took a pillow and threw it at him.

"Damon! Alaric's here, you know. And Jeremy's home too."

"What's the problem? You think they'll assume we slept together? We can make it real, you know..."

Her eyes widened at what he had just said and the only thing she could manage to do what to throw another pillow at him.

"Easy, babe."

"Don't call me babe, Damon"

"OK, honey"

She tilted her head to the side, looking at him, thinking he'd understand, but instead, he kept on calling her "honey" all day long.

Later, while having breakfast with Alaric and Jeremy …

The four of them were sitting around the table. When Alaric and Jeremy saw Damon coming with Elena from upstairs, they both gave Elena a "What the hell?" look, and she just made them understand that nothing was up with Damon.

Damon was sitting in front of Elena, Alaric was on Damon's right and Jeremy was on Elena's left. They were all eating toasts with jam and drinking coffee. When Damon opened his mouth to say something, Elena turned to look at him and told him:

"Be careful with what you are about to say, Damon."

He put his hands up and said:

"I wasn't going to say something, honey, but maybe we should talk about that night of sex we had together..."

Elena kicked his leg and he just smirked:

"Honey, if you want more sex, just ask for it, you don't need to kick me."

Elena opened her mouth in shock.

"Stop calling me honey, you asshole!"

Alaric and Jeremy were both looking at Damon and Elena, they didn't understand what was going on, and they had no idea why Damon was calling Elena honey.

Damon smiled a bit and said:

"Ok, fine, I won't call you honey anymore. Now, I'll just call you … Mhm, let me think."

Damon was rubbing his chin with a serious expression on his face, and Elena was angrily eating her last piece of toast. Alaric looked at Damon and Elena and asked them:

"What the hell is going on here? Why is Damon calling you honey?"

"Well, when I woke up, my phone rang and this" She pointed at Damon "idiot was the one who called me. Then, he came in my bedroom, with all his comments and stuff and I ended up throwing pillows at him. He called me babe, then honey and I tried to get him to stop, but he just kept on calling me honey, so I gave up. That's what's going on, 'Ric."

Alaric burst out in laughter along with Jeremy. Elena looked at both of them and then looked at Damon who was looking at the two laughing messes. He then, said:

"I know they are retarded, but this is getting seriously weird."
