Chapter One
Elena Gilbert was standing in front of the mirror trying to tame her out of control hair. She was suppose to go to an interview for an internship positions. She was dressed in a navy blue professional dress and very little make up, she wanted to be as natural as possible. She finally gave up on her hair and pulled it up into a pony tail. Taking a step back she looked at herself in the mirror and sighed."This will have to do."She murmured to herself as she looked at the clock. Of course she was running late, she raced into her bedroom and put on her black pumps. Grabbing her purse and resume she was out the door.
Elena wanted to make sure she got to the interview on time, but at this rate she felt like she would be late. She got in the car driving off and arriving at the office building of Salvatore LLC. She sat in the car taking a deep breath and letting it out, she closed her eyes before opening them again. The building alone made Elena nervous was she cut out to even be an intern for this place. It was the best editing company in New Orleans. Editing, was something Elena always wanted to do. Its what she went to college for it what she pulled for even in high school and here she was about to be set out into the real world. Taking another deep breath she got out of the car and walked to the door, closing her eyes and pulling it open.
Even the inside was impressive, she looked around and then turned her attention to the receptionist seated in front of her. She put a smile on her face and headed towards the desk. Before Elena could speak the receptionist put up a finger signalling her to wait a moment. Elena stood patiently until the blonde was off the phone."What can I help you with?" The receptionist looked up at Elena, looking her over. Even she didn't approve of what she was wearing."I..I uh, have an interview with Damon Salvatore." Elena told the receptionist, the blonde looked at Elena."Name please." The receptionist spoke and Elena gave her a warm smile."Elena Gilbert." Elena murmured her name, and the receptionist picked up the phone calling god knows who."Yes, Katherine I have a Miss Gilbert here for mr. salvatore ." The blonde told whoever was on the phone, she nodded and few times before hanging up. "You may go up, take the second elevator to the tenth floor." Elena nodded her head giving her a warm smile. "Thank you." Elena uttered before walking past the desk to the bay of elevators.
Pressing the up button she waited patiently, once she got on the elevator she pressed the number ten and waited. She tried to calm her nerves, she was never one to be any good at interviews and especially for a company that intimidated her like this one did. Hearing the ding signalling she was at the right floor. Stepping off she saw another blonde setting at a receptionist desk. "Miss Gilbert?" The blonde asked, and Elena nodded her head. "Yes that's me." Elena murmured walking toward the second blonde. Again it felt like the blonde was looking her over. "Mr. Salvatore will be with you shortly, please have a seat." The blonde told Elena. Elena turned on her heels, amazed she didn't fall face first onto the floor. She sat down in one of the chairs that was arranged in the waiting area. She sat her purse down, and pulled out her resume trying her best to make it straight again. "Miss Gilbert." Blonde number two called out, Elena stumbled out of her seat. "Yes." Elena uttered. "Mr. Salvatore will see you now, please go through." Blonde number two told Elena. Elena gave her a warm smile as she walked past the desk into his office.
Before she knew it she was face first in the office of the the impressive Damon Salvatore. She was always good at making a horrible first impression. Elena felt hands helping her up, she stood up rather clumsily and patted her dress down. Moving her hair out of her face, she looked up and came eye to eye with the man she was interviewing with. Elena blinked rapidly, woah he was hotter and much more younger than she had imagined. "Miss Gilbert are you alright?" Damon asked, snapping Elena out of her own world and back into reality. "Oh yes, I'm fine. I'm very clumsy, I'm sorry." Elena murmured an excuse, though it was true she was very clumsy. "No need to be sorry, come sit. I'm Damon Salvatore." Damon extended his hand, Elena extended her own and shook it. Elena felt a shock run through her body, even though his hand was colder than most she blushed and nodded her head. Damon pointed to a chair Elena could sit in,and she not as clumsily sat down. "Alright, shall we begin." Damon asked and Elena nodded her head. "Of course." Elena uttered as she gave him a soft smile.
After Elena's interview was over she just wanted out of that office, she was offered the internship on the spot. So as she was leaving she kept thanking him. "Thank you again,Mr. Salvatore." Elena murmured to him with a warm smile, as she headed towards the door. Damon stood up and beating her to the door he opened it. "Wanted to make sure you made it out." Damon uttered to her as she walked through the door. "That is very kind of you, thank you." Elena murmured with a grin as she walked out of the office, Damon following her. "Did you have a coat or anything?" Damon asked her, and Elena shook her head. "No,I didn't." Elena told him and Damon pressed the down button for her. Blonde two was staring at them as if something was wrong with her. Elena felt uncomfortable and she just wanted to get out of there. Hearing the ding of the elevator, Elena hurried in. Turning to face him she smiled, "Good bye Elena." Damon uttered to her. "Good bye Damon." Elena murmured back just as the doors closed.
Elena finally relaxed and leaned against the wall of the elevator. She couldn't believe it, she actually got it. She had worked her whole life to be in this position to be an editor even if it was just as an intern at least was actually going to be a paid editor. Once the elevator got to the first floor, Elena hurried out of the elevator. She past blonde number one who just stared until Elena was out of the building. Getting to her car, Elena sighed with relief. There was just something about Damon that Elena couldn't put her finger her on. Her first day would be on Monday and it that meant that the weekend would be the last weekend she would work at QuickyHouse, she had worked there since she started college. Elena took a deep breath and just as she started her car she jumped seeing a figure in front of her.
