My dad died a month ago and my mom and I are going to live with my Aunt Jenna and two cousins, Elena and Jeremy. Jeremy is awesome with his parting I have become a lot like him except the 17 year old girl version. He is getting better and I am getting worse, go figure.
I dragged my suitcase to the car. It was going to be a long drive from New York City. I decided to take a nap not wanting to talk to my mom and my little brother was sleeping.
My mom woke me up because we were there. We rang the doorbell and Jenna answered the door.
"Amy!" Jenna squealed to my mom.
"Jenna!" She squealed back.
"Hi Natalie!" my aunt said giving me a hug.
"Hey," I said.
She let us in and Elena was sitting on the couch with two boys. The one that appeared older caught my eye. He had dark hair and was exceptionally sexy.
"Hey Nat!" Elena said giving me hug. Why is everyone so preppy in this family?
"Hi," I said returning the hug.
"This is my boyfriend Stefan," she said gesturing to younger, not as hot guy.
"Hi," I said giving a small wave. He nodded.
"And this is Damon," she said.
"Hey, no special title for me? Not "my best friend in the whole wide world" or "the hottest guy on the planet?" Damon said. I giggled.
"If I gave you any title it would be 'annoying dumbass brother of my boyfriend,'" Elena said smiling.
I sat next to Damon on the couch glad that Elena was in-between them so I could sit next to him. He smiled. "At least someone in this house likes me better than brooding ol' Stefan over here," Damon smirked.
"Would you rather me sit next to him?" I asked not really in the mood for witty ass comments.
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning," he said grinning.
"Maybe I wake up on the wrong side of the bed every morning, you don't know me so stop acting like you do," I said walking up stairs to my guest room. I ran into Jeremy on the way.
"Hey Jer," I said half hugging him.
"Hey Nat," he said half hugging me back and kissing the top of my head.
"Where are you going?" I asked, he wasn't one to hang out with Elena.
"Um, to meet this girl at the Grill, don't tell Elena because she'll ask who and it is one of her best friends," he said.
"Awww, Jer's got a girlfriend, what's her name?" I asked.
"She's not my girlfriend," he said.
"Mhhhm," I said not believing him.
"Well, I wasn't her to be but she doesn't like me she's into the guy named Luka," he said frowning.
"Maybe she's just playing hard to get," I said.
"I hope so," he said.
"That Damon guy is really getting on my nerves," I said changing the subject.
"Not something I haven't heard before," he said laughing.
"You want to come to the grill with me?" he asked.
"No thanks, I have to unpack and stuff," I said.
"Alright, see you later cuz," he said smiling.
"Bye Jer," I said. "Where should I tell Aunt Jenna and Elena that you went?" I asked knowing he would ask me to cover for him.
"Um, just say I went to the Grill but don't say with who," he said.
"Ok," I said simply.
I unpacked my bags and went back downstairs in a better mood. Stefan and Elena were in the kitchen and Damon was in the living room with my five year old brother.
"Jake, go play with your toys, Damon will corrupt that sweet little head of yours," I said. He obeyed.
"Why do you hate me so much? Did Elena talk bad about me?" he asked.
"No, I figured out the bad things myself," I said smirking and moving slightly closer to him on the couch.
He inched closer to me on the couch and our legs were touching. "Someone is in a better mood," he whispered seductively into my ear.
