Only He Remembered
Part One: Elena's Eighteen
Elena woke up to see the bright sunlight poring through her window. It took a moment to all sink in but then she remembered it was her eighteenth birthday.
She wasn't looking forward to it at all actually. She didn't want all her friends surrounding her and making a scene out of it.
Elena dragged herself out of bed and into the shower.
Within a few minutes the water had been turned on and off, the hair drier had been turned off and on and she had gotten dressed and ready for the day.
As she attempted to get out of the house unnoticed by Jenna or Jeremy her plan failed miserably.
"Happy Birthday!" Jeremy yelled as he placed her in a brotherly hug and shook her back and forth.
"Jeremy stop." She said as he squeezed her out of breath.
"Ok, well if you don't want this." He said as he let go of her and pulled out a little purple box from under the coffee table.
Elena just shook her head as Jeremy shoved it towards her.
"Please open it Elena." He said with a weak smile.
"Ok, just because you're my favorite brother."
"I'm your only brother!" He exclaimed as he watched her unwrap the gift to reveal a red and orange scarf.
"Jeremy." Elena said breathless looking at the brand name. It was a coach scarf.
"Do you like it?" He asked practically buzzing.
"I love it Jeremy, thank you." She said as she pulled Jeremy in for a hug.
Damon was just starting to wake up. After the fight last night about how he insulted Stefan or whatever he was a little sore.
Stefan was going on about how he still loved Elena even though she dumped him. Damon had told him that she was over him and he should just let it go and enjoying being single.
Stefan took it the wrong way and started a fight with him, and it involved Stefan losing and Damon smirking all the way up the stairs.
Damon's thoughts were stuck on that until he remembered it was Elena's birthday.
Then he wondered what Stefan had got her, or if he even remembered it. He smirked as he got out of bed and ready to go shopping.
He slipped on a pair of jeans, a dark green t-shirt (He was feeling colorful.) and his black leather jacket.
He zipped out the front door and towards the Mystic Falls Shopping Centre but not before being stopped by Stefan.
"Where are you going so early?" Stefan asked as he attempted to open the door.
"Nowhere important, are you planning on seeing Elena today?" He asked with a smirk.
"No, I wasn't planning on it, why are you?" He said harshly.
"Maybe, and you should tone down the protectiveness. Isn't that why she dumped you?" Damon replied with a smirk as he left the boarding house.
Damon walked out the door to grab Elena a present or two.
Elena was walking down the street in hopes of getting to the library to study for the exam on Monday.
She did not want to face her friends today. It may be a Saturday but she wasn't going to the grill or anywhere people might see her.
Tomorrow she would she see all of her friends.
Elena was just about to the library when her plan failed –again-.
"Elena!" Caroline's voice chimed through the air.
Elena stopped and turned to see Matt and Caroline standing behind her.
"Hey." She simply said.
Caroline and Matt caught up to her and Matt said, "Where are you going? Shouldn't you be getting ready to party?"
"No. I'm going to the library to study for the exam on Monday." Elena explained as she attempted to get to library again.
"Elena." Caroline and Matt said almost at the same time.
"Come on, if you're going to be like that can you at least open out gift?" Caroline pouted.
Elena sighed and nodded. Caroline smiled and pulled out a pink present from behind her back.
Elena forced a smile and opened the present to reveal a black designer bag.
"Guys, you shouldn't have." She said as she hugged both of them at the same time.
"We did. We each just paid half." Caroline explained.
"Thank you. I'm just really glad that I only brought my wallet and cell with me." She said as she took her wallet out of her pocket and into her purse along with her cell phone.
Matt was about to say something when his phone went off. He looked down and back up to Caroline and said, "My mom needs us back at the house."
"How wonderful." Caroline said sarcastically as she walked towards Matt's truck.
"Bye." Matt said as he followed Caroline.
Elena waved and started walking again but quickly yelled, "Don't tell anyone where I am!"
"Ok." Caroline yelled back with a giggle.
Elena just watched Caroline and Matt drive off. When they were gone Elena voted against the library.
Caroline couldn't keep her mouth shut so she just simply walked to the Second Cup next to it.
Damon was at a store when he heard someone call Elena's name. He looked out the window to see Elena standing with Caroline and Caroline's boyfriend.
They were talking about Elena's birthday and then gave her a present.
He examined Elena and saw a scarf around her neck and a black purse.
He decided to have some fun with Elena since he wasn't finding anything here.
Hey!
He texted and watched Elena's phone buzz as she walked towards Second Cup. She jumped and Damon smirked at her.
Hello?
She texted back, as she entered the second cup and started ordering.
I'm watching you…
He sent with a laugh.
Who is this?
Typical Elena making sure that no bad vamps are out to get her, he thought as he typed back.
Damon ;D
Damon! What are you doing? Shouldn't you be getting breakfast or something?
Damon laughed she was actually insisting that he should be sucking someone dry instead of texting her.
Are you offering?
He watched Elena freeze temporarily then start typing again.
No.
Damon then watched her shove it in her purse as she grabbed her coffee.
Damon smirked and decided to just continue to shop but not before texting a simple,
:(
Elena opened up her cell phone again and said,
Sorry, just don't feel like popping a vein this morning.
Damon frowned.
You'll come around kitten; anyway stop by the boarding house tonight. I haven't seen you in a week.
Elena took another sip of her coffee and text him back.
Why?
Damon rolled his eyes she was so difficult.
I think it's more or less because you broke up with Stefan why I haven't seen you, and Stefan's moping around more than usual, I need someone else to bug.
Well don't I just feel special.
Damon just shook his head at her.
You should! Not everyone gets to be bugged by the insanely hot Damon Salvatore.
Elena looked like she was laughing from across the street.
Yes, because it's always been a dream to have someone bug me because he got bored of his brother.
Abso-freaking-lutley, it's been, be there at seven…
Ok. Bye.
See you kitten.
Damon shoved his phone in his pocket needing to find her a present before seven.
Next stop, Peoples.
Caroline and Matt had walked into the grill to open up when Bonnie came knocking at the door.
"Your mom was horrible to me again." Caroline said as she watched Matt.
"Guys open up!" Bonnie yelled as Matt opened the door.
"What's wrong?" Matt asked as Bonnie walked through the door.
"Where's Elena?" Bonnie asked directing the question at Caroline knowing she can't keep her mouth shut.
Caroline shrugged her shoulders and Bonnie glared at her.
Matt was silently encouraging her to keep it hidden but Caroline was building up.
"Caroline, please." Bonnie said with pouty lips and eyes.
Caroline being herself just couldn't hold back. "She's at the library!"
Caroline covered her mouth and Bonnie ran out the door.
Bonnie ran to her taxi she had. She told him to quickly get to the library. Elena was going to get her present if she wanted it or not.
Within minutes she had paid for the cab and was at the library. She was about to enter it when she saw Elena walking out of Second Cup.
She ran up to Elena who just sighed, "Please no." silently.
"Happy Birthday!" She said as she threw her arms around her and smiled.
"Bonnie come on." She said as Bonnie backed up off of her.
"It's your birthday, enjoy yourself!" She said scolding as she pulled out a medium sized box.
Elena smiled and opened the box to reveal an array of spices and lotions.
"These have been charmed to do different things. For Example the pink lotion you rub on your hands and feet to give you a perfect Mani and Pedi every time!"
"Are you serious! Thank you so much Bonnie!" Elena said as she placed the box of lotion and spices in her new bag.
"The instructions are in the box." Bonnie said as Elena smiled at her. "What are you doing today?"
Elena sighed and said, "Well I was trying to hid from everyone but it failed miserably. Now I'm going to go hang out around town alone and then go to the boarding house later on tonight."
"Really, are you and Stefan back together?" Bonnie asked as if she was jealous.
"No, Damon asked me to come over. I just don't think he knows it's my birthday. I just want it to be over all ready."
"Wait, Damon? You know how I feel about him. He tried to kill me!" Bonnie said a little too loud.
"Shh! I know Bonnie but he's different towards me, I trust him." Elena explained.
"Ok, but I don't think I ever will be able too." Bonnie said as she walked back a little.
"I guess I'll see you later on then, have fun with your shopping."
"Yup, bye!" She said as she walked towards the American Eagle across the street.
Damon was browsing jewelry when he got a phone call from Stefan.
He rolled his eyes and answered the phone.
"Yes?" He asked as he looked over some necklaces.
"I need your help." Stefan said as Damon heard a crackling sound.
"What did you do? Made bunnies extinct in Mystic Falls?" He replied sarcastically.
"No, your freaking blood bags fell out of the fridge and now I can barley be in the house without wanting to drink it. Get rid of it."
"Hmm, I'd love to but I'm busy shopping, there is surprisingly good shopping in this town."
"Damon!" Stefan yelled angrily.
"Stefan!" He yelled back in the same tone.
Before Stefan could reply Damon hung up his phone and continued walking around the store and having an idea.
The day went by quickly and easily for Elena. Only a few friends from school had commented on her birthday and she was thankful for that.
By the time she was done shopping the sun was setting and it was 6:30.
She grabbed a taxi home and by the time she put everything away it was 6:55.
She sighed and started for the door she was about to open it when Jenna stopped her and said, "Where are you going?"
"To the boarding house." She simply said.
"You don't want to stay?" Jenna said.
"Jenna if you're planning something I don't know if I want to come home." She said with a laugh.
"No, no just be home tonight." Jenna said as she gave her niece a hug and Elena walked out the door.
Elena hopped into her vehicle and drove to the boarding house in a matter of ten minutes.
She knocked on the door and Stefan answered.
"Hey." She said as Stefan smiled at her.
"Hi, I didn't know you were coming over." He said as he heard Damon's door open.
"There you are." Damon voice appeared from behind Stefan. "Get in here."
Stefan moved so Elena could come in. She looked hesitant when she walked in.
When Elena was in and the door was closed Damon smirked at her and said, "Follow me."
Both Stefan and Elena had no idea what was going on. They both followed Damon into the kitchen where a large bouquet of red roses sat.
He grabbed them and passed them to Elena and she looked up to him and said, "You too?"
"Yup! Happy Birthday!" He said as he took the roses away from her and gave her a huge hug.
Stefan was shocked. He had forgotten Elena's birthday! That's what Damon must've meant when he asked if he was seeing her later on today.
He felt horrible. How could he forget her birthday?
"Ok, starting to cut off circulation now." Elena said to Damon who was still squeezing her.
Damon let go of her and said, "That's not all kitten."
"You really don't have to get me anything else, and stop calling me kitten!" She said as Damon reached into his pocket.
He pulled out an envelope and a small black box.
"Open this one first." He said passing her the black box.
"Damon…" She said as if he really didn't have to do this.
"Shut up and open it." He said with a smile.
"Fine." She said as she opened it up to a bright diamond tennis bracelet.
"Holy shit! Damon!" She said as she pulled it out of the box. "Why?"
"I heard you tell Bonnie that you loved them." He said with a smirk.
When Damon pulled out two more things from his jacket Stefan flipped, he felt like such an ass.
"Here's the third part of your present." He said as he passed her the envelope.
What surprised Stefan the most was when Damon pulled out another envelope and passed it to him?
Stefan opened it up and looked up to Damon who was in the middle of a giant hug from Elena.
"Damon! Oh my god!" She exclaimed as Damon hugged her back with just as much force.
Elena let go of Damon and said, "How did you know I wanted to go to California?"
"You and Bonnie should really talk quieter." He said cockily.
Elena wrapped him in another hug and Stefan looked to him and said, "Then why did I get two tickets to California?"
"Consider it a late birthday gift and you can take whoever you want." Damon said as he hugged Elena again.
"Thanks." He said knowing he wasn't taking Elena. He thought over all the possible people he could take.
Bonnie? No, that would be weird.
Caroline? No, she was dating Matt that would be horrible.
Stefan thought about a few other people until he remembered one of his oldest friends other than – the now dead - Lexi.
Violet. One of his oldest friends! She was perfect to bring! She even had a lapis lazuli!
Elena finally backed off him and said, "When do we leave?"
"Is someone excited for some alone time with me?" He asked with a smirk.
"No, but I'm excited to go with you." She replied.
"I pick you up tomorrow. 3 A.M." He said as he passed Elena her flowers, bracelet, and ticket.
"You go home, get some rest and I'll see you ok." He said as he walked her to the door.
"Thank you." She said as he opened the door.
"Yea, yeah go get packed." He said as she walked out the door.
Damon closed the door and looked over to Stefan. He was pouting.
"Stefan 0 Damon 3." Damon muttered as Stefan jumped him.
"Why didn't you tell me it was Elena's birthday?" He yelled as he pushed him up against the wall.
Damon rolled his eyes and pushed him off. "One, don't touch me. Two, you're her ex-boyfriend so I just assumed you knew and Three, go call whoever you're asking to come."
Stefan huffed and watched Damon go up the stairs.
Stefan grabbed his cell and called Violet.
"Hello?" A feminine voice broke through.
"Hey! It's Stefan!" He said excitedly.
"Oh my god! Hi Steffi! What's up?" She said with an excited tone.
"Any chance you can stop by Mystic Falls anytime soon?"
"Of course! I'm actually at the town over! I'll be there in a minute!" She said as the line went dead.
Stefan smiled and within minutes there was a soft knock on the door.
Stefan opened it to a girl with short, thin black hair with purple highlights. She smiled showing her slightly pointed fangs.
Violet walked through the door and hugged Stefan.
"Oh, I missed you!" She said as she squeezed him tight.
"I missed you too." He said as he squeezed her back.
Violet pulled back and said, "So why did you call?"
"Want to go to California with me?" He asked.
"Of course but last I heard you had a girlfriend, shouldn't you be taking her?" She asked.
"Oh, Elena, we broke up. Damon's taking her though." He said.
"What is this the repeat of Katherine?" She asked as she folded her arms across her chest and stepped away from Stefan.
"Elena looks exactly like Katherine but she's nothing like her. Elena's sweet, caring and she broke up with me for sensible reasons. She hasn't fooled around with Damon either."
Violet glared at Stefan and walked into the living room. "Ok Mr. Protective."
"So are you going to go with me?" Stefan asked again.
"Yup! I'm going to get my stuff from the hotel in the town over and I'll see you in a few." She said as she ran out the door.
Elena got home to see all of her friends and family standing in the house waiting for something.
Elena walked into the living room nonchalantly and finally everybody jumped up and yelled, "Surprise!"
"Nice try guys." She said with a laugh as she placed the roses on the counter and filled the vase up a little more.
Everyone laughed as Bonnie and Caroline walked up behind her and said, "Stefan gave you roses? How sweet!"
Elena turned around to them and said, "Um not from Stefan."
She walked past them and to Jenna.
Caroline and Bonnie looked over to Elena and to the roses. Bonnie noticed a card sticking out of the top of the flowers and grabbed it.
Happy Birthday Kitten!
-Damon
"Kitten?" Bonnie asked to Caroline.
"Damon?" Caroline responded.
Bonnie and Caroline both glanced over to Elena who was now talking to Jeremy and Jenna.
"Damon got me a ticket to California and we leave tomorrow morning." Elena explained to Jenna.
"How long are you two going for?" Jenna asked a little concerned.
"Five days. And Stefan and one of his friends are going with us too."
"Ok, but I swear to god if you return pregnant, some heads will roll." Jenna stated.
Elena smiled and said, "I promise I won't!"
"I'm going to pack and I'll come straight back to the party that I will remind you, DIDN'T want." She added before rushing up the stairs.
Elena rushed up the stairs not realizing that Bonnie and Caroline were right behind her.
Elena turned on her radio, grabbed her suitcase and began to pack.
She threw in some clothes such as jeans, t-shirts, dresses, pajamas, and underwear.
"Damon gave you the flowers?" Caroline's voice appeared from over the music.
Elena jumped and turned around to her.
"Yes, why?" She asked as she continued to pack.
"It's Damon! Elena he is nothing but trouble. I just don't know why he's being so sweet to you."
"I don't know. He just really knows how to nice at times and Damon's different around me." Elena replied to Caroline.
"Will you at least stop packing to tell us where you're going?" Bonnie said just a little angry.
Elena turned around and said, "California, happy now?"
"California? Why are you going to California?" Bonnie asked.
Elena was hesitant to tell them at first but she didn't have to because Caroline chimed in and said, "Is it another gift from Damon?"
"Don't be like that Caroline." Elena said as Bonnie just stared at her.
"What else did he buy you? An engagement ring?" Caroline said as both she and Bonnie noticed the diamond bracelet around her wrist.
"A tennis bracelet?" Bonnie said as she grabbed Elena's wrist.
Caroline shook her head and said, "If you are happy with all this then I'm happy for you, but I'm just asking you to be careful."
"I will." Elena said giving Caroline a hug.
Caroline smiled and walked downstairs with Bonnie on her tail.
Elena just shook her head and continued to pack. When she was all finished she walked back downstairs to her surprise party.
Caroline and Bonnie still looked a little mad but Elena was more or less talking to Matt and Tyler all night.
At around eleven everybody cleared out and Elena went up to Jenna and said, "I said I didn't want a party."
"I know but eighteen is a huge milestone in someone's life." She said with a small smiled.
"Well even if I didn't want it, it was good and thanks Jenna."
"And Jeremy!" He chimed in from the background.
"Thank you Jeremy." She said with a smile then added, "I better get to sleep, we leave soon."
Jenna looked over to Elena who was almost up the stairs and said, "Not so fast, there's one more gift."
Elena sighed and walked back down the stairs. She walked up to Jenna who passed her a small green box.
Elena opened the box to see a pair of car keys.
"Jenna?" Elena said.
"Go look outside, I had it pulled up when you were talking to Matt and Tyler."
Elena walked out side to see a 2010 navy blue Chevrolet Corvette.
Elena mouth dropped and said, "Oh my god! Jenna thank you!"
"Your parents were going to get you this for your eighteenth birthday and had a fund for it. I thought maybe I should get it for you anyway." Jenna said, "So consider it a birthday gift from your parents."
Elena had tears forming in her eyes and said, "I love you guys."
She hugged Jenna and Jeremy (who had just walked out on the porch.)
"Now go get some sleep." Jenna said as she brought Elena inside.
Elena acknowledged and went up to bed and straight to sleep.
It was one-thirty in the morning and Elena had just woken up to get in a shower before she left.
She quickly showered, did her hair and got changed. By the time she was finished everything it was already 2:45 in the morning.
Damon would be there in about 15 minutes. She walked downstairs and wrote and note to Jenna explaining that she had left and that she could text or email whenever.
After that she ran to the kitchen and grabbed her passport and ticket.
Just as she was about to sit down there was a knock at the door. She opened the door to Damon's smiling face.
"Good morning kitten." He said as he hugged her.
Elena just hugged him back, thinking that this was out of character.
"Did you put sugar in your blood this morning?" She asked as he finally let her go.
"No, well maybe, anyway where is your stuff? And whose car is outside?" Damon asked as Elena grabbed her suitcase.
"Mine, I got it last night." She said as she started out the front door.
Elena locked the door as Damon grabbed her suitcase and placed it in the trunk of his car.
Damon leaned against the car as Elena walked towards him with her passport and purse.
"We should really be taking your car. It's phenomenal."
Elena laughed and said, "You can take it if you want."
"Nah, we're already a little late for picking up Stefan and Violet. Get in."
Elena hopped into his car and asked, "Who's Violet."
"Stefan's vampire friend." He said as they drove off to the boarding house.
When they arrived Elena looked over to him and said, "Do you want me to go and get them?"
Damon shook his head and said, "I'll get them."
Damon flipped out his phone and dialed Stefan's number.
"Hurry up!" Damon said as Elena watched the boarding house doors open.
Damon looked over and closed his phone as he popped his trunk and he felt things being thrown in there.
Within seconds Stefan and a girl with short thin black hair and purple highlights were in the backseat.
Stefan looked to the front seat to see Elena.
"Hi Elena." He simply said.
"Hey." She replied.
"This is Violet." He said as Elena turned around to see Violet sitting beside him.
"Hi, I'm Elena." She said as the girl smiled.
"Violet." The girl replied.
"Ok, if were done introducing can we get going?" Damon interrupted.
Elena rolled her eyes and said, "Go for it."
Damon smirked at her and they drove off towards the airport.
In an hour or so Damon had drove up to the airport and they were already waiting for the woman to call for their flight.
Elena was sitting in between Damon and Stefan and it felt more than a little uncomfortable.
"I'm going to go get some gum for the flight." Elena said, "Anybody want anything?"
"Nope." Stefan and Violet said almost at the same time.
Damon smirked and said, "Coffee, black with two sugars."
"Ok, I'll be back then." Elena said as she started to walk off.
"Here, I'll come with you." Violet quickly chimed in.
Damon and Stefan looked at Violet confused but allowed her to go with Elena.
Violet and Elena walked to the store and Elena bought gum.
"So you're Stefan's ex?" Violet asked finally breaking the silence.
"Um, yea. We're just friends now." She replied.
"Stefan's good but I'm a little uncomfortable with Damon around though."
"I was once, but he's grown on me." Elena said with a laugh.
Violet laughed and said, "You're lucky Elena, Damon rarely let's humans into his life, well other than a snack."
Elena laughed again and said, "Yea, and here I am going a trip with three other vampires."
"Your brave, that's for sure." She said.
Elena looked around a saw a coffee stand. "You want a coffee?"
"No, I'm fine." She said with a smile.
"Ok." She said as she walked and ordered two coffees.
"Anything going on with you and Damon?" Violet asked.
"We're friends." Elena stated as they waited for the coffees.
Violet glared at her and she said, "Really, we're just friends."
"Ok, if you say so." She said with a smile.
The coffees were placed in front of them as they continued to chat. Elena smiled at the man behind the counter and grabbed the coffees.
She walked towards where Stefan and Damon where and passed Damon the coffee.
"Thanks kitten." He said with a wink. Elena sat down beside Damon and said, "What did I say about calling me kitten?"
"That you love the way my voice purrs when I say it." He said cockily.
"Damon!" She glared.
"Like you weren't thinking it." He said cockily.
Elena shook her head and was about to reply when a woman's voice called, "Flight 284 To California now boarding."
"That's us." Stefan said as they all got up and walked towards the gate.
Within a few minutes they were on the plane and taking off.
Elena found her seat next to Damon in first class with Violet and Stefan in the next row over.
Elena looked out the window to see the lights in Mystic Falls as they flew through the air.
"Afraid of flying?" Damon asked as she turned to him.
"No, just looking at the lights." She said with a smile.
Damon grabbed her wrist and took notice of the bracelet he bought her yesterday.
"I'm assuming you like the bracelet?" He asked as he rubbed her pulse point.
Elena's wrist tingled where he rubbed and her pulse skyrocketed.
"I don't like it." Elena stated and Damon's face dropped.
"I love it." She said as Damon shook his head.
"You had me there for a minute."
Elena laughed and Damon let go of her wrist.
Damon and Elena just sat there for the rest of the trip just talking.
The plane landed and they got off and into the warm Californian air.
When they grabbed their stuff from baggage, Elena asked, "Where are we staying?"
"At a rental house down a few blocks from here." Damon said as a black mustang pulled up from them.
Damon paid the driver and threw his suitcase in the back of the car along with Elena's.
Violet and Stefan followed as Damon and Elena took their seats in the front.
As soon as everyone was in Damon started to drive forward and as they drove he turned on the radio.
Elena was taking in the scenery when she got a text message.
Just got your note, where are you? – Jenna
Elena quickly text back and noticed she had 4 other messages.
In California now, just driving to the place we're staying.
Elena then looked over her other text messages as Damon and Stefan got into some sort of argument.
Heard you left already, bring me back something! – Jeremy
Elena looked over it and laughed,
I'll see what a can manage. – Elena
She continued on to the next message.
Hey! Want to hang out today? – Caroline 3
Elena rolled her eyes and wrote back quickly.
Can't In Cali already, sorry! – Elena
Two more messages left, she thought as she continued on to what she assumed to be Bonnie warning her about something.
I know that you're gone and with Damon but please be careful! I REALLY don't trust him! – Bonnie
I'll be fine, Stefan and his friend Violet came with us, don't worry! –Elena.
One more, she looked at it and saw an unfamiliar number.
Hey, I know that since we're in California you should be looking at the scenery and not at your phone, but if you were paying attention we're puling into the driveway… - Damon ;D
Elena rolled her eyes and said, "Seriously?"
"Yup." He said popping the 'p'.
Elena put her phone away to look at the two-story house with a large balcony in one of the rooms.
Elena opened her door as Damon turned off the car and examined the house a little deeper.
It was a light colored house with cream color siding and a darker color of brown for siding and shingles.
Damon was at her side with her suitcase when she snapped out of it.
"Thanks." She said with a smiled, grabbed her suitcase from Damon and walked inside.
She shut the door to find a large kitchen that was connected to a larger living room.
There was a winding staircase and if you looked up you could see 4 doors upstairs.
There was a small computer room to the left of the entrance, and another door. Elena looked to the kitchen again and saw a pair of sliding doors that led to a giant pool area in the backyard.
"So now the part that I feel I'm going to be killed for." Damon said quietly.
Elena turned towards him and said, "What did you do?"
"When I booked this place it was the last one left so I bought it then I realized that there was only two rooms." Damon explained as he stepped away from Stefan and towards the stairs.
"Damon!" Stefan yelled.
"Well I'm not sharing a room with Mr. Cranky over there." Damon said as he walked up the stairs.
"I'm not taking room with Damon, last time we were in a bedroom I almost choked him to death." Violet explained.
Damon smirked and said, "I guess that leaves you kitten."
"Fine." She said as she grabbed her suitcase and followed Damon up the stairs.
Damon examined each of the rooms before deciding on the black room over the white room.
"Of course." Elena said with a laugh.
"I like black!" He said as he placed his suitcase down on the bed. Elena did the same and said, "I know."
Damon looked around the room to see one dresser and one closet.
"Looks like we also have to share closet and drawer space." He said with a smirk.
Elena laughed and said, "I don't mind as long as you don't do a panty raid."
"You take the fun out of everything." He said with a smirk.
Elena rolled her eyes as she began to unpack. She then noticed a nightstand on the side of the bed. She grabbed her diary when Damon wasn't looking and placed it in there.
Elena continued unpacking and the first thing she did was place all of her panties and bras in the dresser.
"You just had to put those in first." He said with a pout.
"Sorry." She said with a laugh.
"You'd think that you'd let the guy who took you at least see your panties." Damon said in a sexy growl.
"Is there another option?" She laughed.
Damon just laughed and smirked as he finished his unpacking along with Elena.
"So what do you want to do now?" She asked him as he opened the door.
Damon then instantly appeared in front of her, placed his arms around her and said, "I could think of a fun couple of things."
Elena's heart was pounding out of her chest and she was about to give into Damon's allure.
She then quickly snapped out of it.
"I'm going to get something to drink." She said as Damon followed her.
Before Elena could reach the steps Damon had wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and had nuzzled his head into her neck.
"I could really use a drink you know." He said with a smirk.
Elena was feeling weak in the knees when she heard a door open and Stefan to walk out of the room with Violet right behind him.
So, what did you think?
How do you feel about the cliffhanger?
What about Violet? Friend? Foe?
Anybody want Violet and Stefan to get together?
What should they do for the rest of the time in California?
