Hi! I'm new here and I hope that you would like my story. I'm asking for understanding because English is not my native and I probably make some mistakes :D

She was knocking to his door a little afraid that he wouldn't open them. A pouring rain made her dripping wet. Her hair and clothes was in terribly mess. After few minutes of waiting doors opened, and Damon gazed at her with surprised expression all over his face.

"What are you doing here?" - he asked, she was the last person who he expected to appear in his house in the middle of the night.

" I am sorry, I know it's late" - she said biting her bottom lip - "I was on the party in the Lake House and I met some gay and we were dancing and drinking and few minutes later he pushed me into a wall and tried to rape me" - she was so shaken, he was staring at her like an idiot completely not knowing what to do - "Can I come in for a while? I needed run away from that place and your house was the nearest one. I know that we are not the best friends and all, but..."

" Yeah sure, come in" - he interrupted her and open the door wider. She entered his house still shaking from cold, rain and last events - "Go to the top my room is the only one there, I will come to you in a second" - he said and left her in a big hall. Elena went upstairs and stood in the middle of his room. She was really surprised when she saw wonderful pictures on the walls. There were photos of nature, animals and some girls. She was watching them with amazement. Seconds later Elena heard his footsteps and he entered his room. Damon had a green, big mug in his hands.

"I bring you tea, I thought you would like that" - he said and handed it to her.

"Thank you" - she whispered and took a mug from him. He smiled mildly to her. Damon gave her one quick look.

" I will give you some dry clothes" - he came to the closet and pulled out some gray T-shirt and sweatpants.

"Thank you" - she said again, it was really strange for her being here in Damon's house. He was so caring, more than any guy she had ever met with, and she had always been so harsh for him.

"The bathroom is here" - he showed her the door in the right side of his room. She nodded and went there leaving mug of tea on his desk. She entered the bathroom and sat on the edge of the bath. Elena slowly started undressing herself and put on clothes he gave to her. When the shock slowly went away she was really ashamed of coming here, but knew she did not have another choice than come back to his room. Few minutes later after combing her hair and washing her face she was back in his room. He glanced at her with a little smirk on his face. His clothes looked really good on her.

"Are you ok?" - he asked quietly.

"Yeah, I am better now. Thank you" - she answered and gave him small smile.

"Do you need anything?"

"Can I stay here for a while?" - she blushed slightly. It was really strange because she had never been shy around guys.

"I won't let you go even if you want it. It's the middle of the night. Drink your tea it still should be warm. We can watch some movie, what do you think?"

"Yeah, that would be great, but please don't choose any horror"

"You can choose what you want" - he smiled - "There are all my movies, pick the one you want to watch. I will go to kitchen and bring us something to eat" - she sat on the floor and started looking for some good movie. Damon turned out to be a great guy, and she was really ashamed of her previous behavior. She thought about the way she had rid him off when he had asked her out. It had happened few months ago, she was sitting with Caroline, Bonnie, Matt and Tyler in school canteen when Damon had come up to her and he had asked her to go with him on school party. Before she had occasion to answer, Caroline burst into laugh.

"You, some freak, want go somewhere with a school queen Elena Gilbert? " - Blondie girl had said, they all had started to laugh and Damon had just walked away with a hurt expression all over his face.

"Have you already chosen something?" - he interrupted her inner monologue.

"No, I haven't decided yet. Hmm what do you think about the Notebook? - she said and watched amused expression on his face - "What?"

" I just don't get it why you, girls like this movie so much"

"We all love romanticism that's all, by the way this movie is really great" - she defended herself.

"Ok, It could be the Notebook"

"Seriously? No complaining?" - she frowned.

"I am really agreeable man" - he said and took a video of her hands and turned it on. Then he sat on the bed and showed her place next to him. She took indicated place and smiled to him. He smiled back, and opened a bag of popcorn and a box of chocolates and offered them to her. Elena took some popcorn and started to watch a movie. He, instead of watching movie, was watching her. He had been in love with her for last three years, she was probably the most wonderful girl he have ever met, and when he finally had found courage to ask her out she had laughed him down. But now she was sitting on his bed and watching some romantic movie with him and all he was dreaming about was to forget why they were doing it. He wanted think that she came here because she wanted to spend her time with him, not that she was almost raped on the party and his house was closest to Lake House to which he had never been invited in.

"Are the photos on the walls yours?" - she asked and gazed at him. He was surprised but happy that she noticed them.

"Yes, I like took some photos and then use some Photoshop, you know"

"They are really amazing" - she said with appreciation. He smiled at her. That was really nice that she liked them.

"If you want I can take some photos of you one day" - he proposed and she gazed at him really surprised.

"That would be awesome, but you don't have to if you don't want to"

"Who said I don't want to? I love taking photos of beautiful girls!" - he blushed a little.

"Thank you" - she answered and sat back. After some time her head dropped on his shoulder. He was amazed and glad at the same time. The popcorn was slowly disappearing during the movie and their hands met each other in the bottom of the bowl.

"Sorry" - he said and she looked up at him. Damon Salvatore seemed to be a really great man and now she was ashamed of herself of being so selfish. She always thought that geeks and freaks are just a background of their show. Show of the populars. Now she found out that he was much better than she was, and that hurt her a little.

"I think that I should apology" - she started after a short break "I'm really sorry for mine and my friends behavior on the day you asked me out. I was so rude, and you are fantastic guy and you didn't deserve for what I did that day"

"It's ok. Let's just watch the movie" - he answered. Damon didn't want her to find out how much her rejection affected him.

"Can you forgive me some day? Can you and I be friends?" - she asked hopefully.

"I can forgive you right now if only you leave me some popcorn" - he said and she giggled gracefully. This sound was so wonderful for him. Yesterday she didn't even give him a quick look and now she was watching a movie almost in his arms and proposing him friendship, can this world be more surprising?

I'm waiting for your reviews. Do you want me to continue?
