This was it, my last chance to get it right. Otherwise I would be broke, id have to go back home beg my grandparents to take me in, marry Matt, and go back to law school. All I wanted was to be a writer. That was all.
So here I am infront of the large skyscraper of original publishing. All I had to do was impress them and I would be okay.
The man I spoke to on the phone said casual so I was in my favorite floral dress with nude heels. I thought it was casual enough, then I walked into the building. Everyone was dressed in black, white, or gray. I stood out like a sore thumb. As I got closer to the reception area the more looks I got.
"Hi I'm Elena Gilbert. I'm hear to meet with mr. Salvatore. "
The receptionist just chuckled at me then pointed to a small gray chair. I must of sat there for hours, waiting and waiting.
"Mr. Salvatore will see you now." The doors to the office opened up and a man with green eyes and bronze hair walked out. I was sure ready to meet him, if he was mr. Salvatore. But he smiled at me and kept walking.
I briskly walked into the office only to find it empty. "Well if my day couldn't get any worse it just did"I was about to walk out when...
"We'll you sound enthused about the job." A husky mans voice came from outside.
I turned on my heels only to see the most gorgeous man I'd ever laid my eyes on.
"Sorry, I've just had a rough day. Well... Hi,I'm elena Gilbert."
"Damon Salvatore. So your the girl who's suppose to write about my brother and I."he looked hesitant.
"I'd do my best sir."I said with my most reassuring smile.
"Oh I'm sure you would, but would that be enough?." He said with this little eye thing.
"Is that a challenge?"
"I'll give you a shot ms. Gilbert. But before I can let you write about me, I need to know about you."
Okaaaayy.."
"Where are you from?"
"Virginia."
"Why do you write?"
"It was something my mom always wanted me to do, and I've loved it since I got my first journal from her."
"Why did you look so sad when you said that?" I looked up to see him have a very curious look on his face.
"My parents are dead. "
"I'm sorry."
"it's not your fault."
"I'm still sorry."
"Sir if we're done here I do have places to go. "I was trying to hold back my tears. Why had I told him this, I haven't told anyone since I came to LA about my parents.
"Alright, I'll see you early Monday l ms. Gilbert. "
I walked out of there as fast as I could, only to see it was dark outside. I found myself looking for the closest club. Ahh I found it "explosion" was going to get a taste of elena tonight.
I got in fairly quick only to see the man who had got under my skin less than an hour ago dancing with a group of very drunk girls. I went straight for the bar, tonight I was going to need some serious liquor.
About an hour later
"Tequila pleeeease." I slurred
I turned around to look for a man good enough to take home, or atleast dance with. Then I spotted damon again. Why did he have to be so damn hot!
"I walked my way past him when he yell my name. "Ms. Gilbert?"
"Yeessh siiiir?"
"How much have you had to drink?"
"Enough with the questions. Lets have some fuunn." I tried to be seductive but I was far from it.
"I think I'll just take you home."
"Oh I bet you will." And with that I kissed him and attempted to grind on him. He quickly picked me up and we got into a taxi.
As soon I told my address to the driver, I passed out on 's lap. Once I woke up we were inside my building and damon was shaking my softly.
" what floor are you on?"
"Call me elena."I frowned.
"Elena what floor do you live on?"
"The penthouse." I smiled. I looked up to see him smirking.
As soon as we got to my penthouse I practically threw myself at him.
"Ms. Gilbert I'm your boss this cant happen. Now your drunk as a skunk, lets get you to bed. "
"I told you to call me elena, and I'm soo not that drunk." And with that I tried once more to seduce him. Se kissed him, but for the first time tonight he started to kiss back. Then I pushed my luck and slide her tongue along his bottom lip for entrance. With that they went into a night full of drunken sex.
