" I love you" Stefan whispered in my ear.
I smiled " I love you too"
He placed his arm around me, me lying into his arm.
I watched the sunset from the roof of his uncles house.
I took a huge sigh " Bonnie called, she is going to her Aunts in Mexico for a while, she isn't herself after…"
" She will be fine, don't worry" he rubbed his fingers threw my hair
" She got a shock"
" She is my best friend, Stefan" I shook my head " You wouldn't understand.
I checked my watch, 6:15.
" I best be going" I said looking one more time at the sky, that was tinted orange now turning dark blue.
He smiled back " Okay"
He got up, grabbing me by the waist, then jumping onto the path.
" I can drive you home if you want"
" No thanks, I'll just get my jacket from inside"
He nodded his head, opening the front door for me.
I walked in, my jacket had disappeared from the coat rack.
I looked all around until I saw a figure at the top of the stairs.
" Come and get it" I heard Damon call.
He stood there, the coat swinging on his middle finger.
" Damon, give it back" I said, I couldn't help but smile at his cheeky grin across his face " I have to go"
" Now, now, if you want it you have to come get it" he said shaking his head winking.
" Damon, please" I said putting my hands together.
" Well, since your begging"
He walked down the stairs never taking his eyes off me smiling.
He opened my jacket so I could place my hands in.
I went over, putting on my jacket; he wrapped his arms around me, holding me tight.
My heart started to race out of my chest " Damon…"
" Now, my brother is outside, madly in love with you, happiest then his ever been; why am I in here feeling sorry for me that I wasn't up on that roof with you?" he whispered in my ear.
" Damon… please don't…"
I took a breath closing my eyes for just a minute, I loved his touch, his smell, his voice…
He started to rock us from side to side, I fitted my head under his head.
" Elena what are you doing?" a little voice in my head screamed.
He kissed my head " Bye beautiful"
" Elena?" Stefan came barging in.
I looked around, Damon gone.
I looked around again, nothing of him in the room expect his half a glass of blood left on the table.
" I'm ready" I said smiling and nodding my head.
Stefan heard every word me and Damon said… he knew how I felt for the spilt second.
I never felt like that before, every emotion entered my body for that spilt second.
" Everything alright?" Stefan asked as I unlocked my car.
" Yeah" I lied " Everything's fine"
" Good… see you tomorrow" Stefan said coming closer for a kiss.
I kissed him, him holding me closer then ever before, he holding me tight like he would never let me go.
He knew Damon was watching, he knew it killed him.
I opened my eyes and looked back at the house, I couldn't see him, but I knew he was looking.
I pulled back " I really have to go now"
He laughed " Okay"
I hopped into my car and drove away as fast as I could.
I couldn't believe what happened, what Damon said, the tension between us.
His crystal blue eyes told me he would protect me always, his smile told me that he would never hurt me, his voice comforted me, his touch melted me…
Stefan brought all these feelings to me before, but when Damon saved me from Katharine, when Stefan wasn't there, he was there, risking his own life for mine.
I finally reached home, Jemma standing on the porch arms folded her foot tapping.
I looked at my watch, 7:30.
I must have been driving all around town thinking about Damon and my feelings…
I got out, saying sorry I was late a hundred times over.
" Your dinners in the oven, I'm going out" she grabbed her bag from the porch couch.
" Okay thanks, sorry again"
I walked back into the house, Germy was sitting down on the couch sketching.
" Hey Ger"
" Hi" he said not lifting his head.
" Good night" I said walking up the stairs.
" Yeah, night" still didn't lift his head.
I ran to my bedroom, closing the door behind me.
I fell onto my bed, closing my eyes, replying what he said over and over and over and over…
