Stefan please answer me! It was about the thirtieth text I had sent Stefan. "Elena, you need to get some sleep. It's one in the morning." His voice sent a shiver down my body. I was very afraid of the talk I knew we would soon have and I would deny my feelings towards him, saying that I only kissed him because I thought he was going to die even though I was lying.

" Damon-" I started to protest.

" Go to sleep." He said lovingly. There was no sarcasm or gloating in his voice, just worry and love. He tucked her in, kissed her cheek and headed to the door. Elena started to speak but her breath got caught in her throat. She tried again but no sound. " What's wrong?" he asked.

" Please don't leave me alone in here." I said in a small voice. He smiled and it wasn't his typical smirk it was a loving smile. A smile that she had only seen three times since she met him. When she saved his life in Georgia, when she promised that he could trust her when she was helping him get Katherine back, and when she had just kissed him an hour ago. He kicked off his shoes and layed on the sofa. "No, come over here." I said and patted on the spot next to me on the bed. I don't know why I wanted him to sleep with me, but I wanted him to so bad it almost ached. As if sensing my longing for him to be lying next to me, he got up and climbed into bed with me.

"Why do you want me over here Elena?" he asked.

" Because I feel safe with you." I answered as put my head on his chest and wrapped my leg around his waist and my arm gripped his stomach and held his hand. I could hear his breathing starting to move more rapidly just by my touch. I looked up at his sparkling blue eyes and watched them. Not knowing what he was going to do, but for some reason I wanted him to turn me over and fuck me right here, but I knew that would never happen. Just as I was about to fall asleep in his arms, my phone rang. I moaned and rolled over to grab it. "Hello?" I asked in a groggy voice.

"Elena, you have to let me go."

"Stefan wait what's wrong?"

"Leave me alone Elena! If you don't leave me alone I will come and rip your throat out and feed on you until every drop of blood in you is gone and you can tell everyone you love the same, including Damon.!" Then he hung up.

I was done! No more! I didn't want to be like Katherine but all I wanted right now was Damon. The blood didn't make Stefan like that. He didn't have to be like that! Damon would never hurt he, he said so himself. "Damon?" I said

"Yes, are you ok?" he replied.

"Yes…" I answered. There was a long silence.

"Were you going to ask me something?" he said in a calm voice as he rubbed up and down her arm, comforting her, but it sent chills up her spine just by his touch.

" Yes, um… Did you mean what you said earlier?"

" When I said what?" he questioned.

"When you said you loved me?" There was a long pause.

"Yes I did," he finally said " Did you mean what you said?"

"When I said what?" I asked.

"When you said you liked me just the way I was and then kissed me." he said in a matter of fact way.

"Of course I did." I said and I realized I meant it.

"You mean so much to me Elena." he said as he cradled me in his arms tighter.

" You have no idea." I said and fell asleep. I couldn't wait to wake up in the morning and see Damon. I finally felt all the feeling I felt for Damon. I was excited and couldn't wait to spend all day with him tomorrow, with no Stefan!
