AN: I'm totally blown away at the response this fic got! :D I was hoping for about 1 review and honestly didn't expect any follows, so I was ecstatic when I saw how many people took the time to review/follow. So thank you, and I tried to keep all suggestions in mind while writing this. Enjoy. ;) ~Vee

I slowly roll onto my side and feel the cool sheets on Stefan's side of the bed. He must have gone hunting. The sun beats down on my face, practically demanding I wake up. I groggily sit up and decide it's probably best if I join the world of the living (and nonliving). I pad along the hallway and make my way down the stairs to the kitchen. My sleep muddled brain wondering why the boarding house has to have stairs. I yawn and decide I need a cup of coffee. After the night I had I'm in desperate need of coffee. Great. Now I'm thinking of...it. I shudder as I remember how real his touch had felt. No. Snap out of it Elena. I groan as I search the kitchen and realize the coffee isn't in any of the bottom cabinets. I lazily open the top cabinets and finally find it hiding behind the jar of spices on the top shelf. I feel a cool breeze and whirl around to see Damon leaning against the island, his signature smirk on his face. Looking every bit the bad brother in his tight black t-shirt and matching jeans.

"Morning." he says simply.

"Hey." I mumble. How can he make one innocent word sound so seductive?

"Nice pjs." he teases, gesturing to the large, blue shirt that's the only thing covering my modesty.

I blush and pull the shirt a bit lower, his eyes twinkle with amusement. It doesn't help much, and it still ends mid-thigh. "What do want, Damon?" I snap, attempting to cover my embarrassment with annoyance.

"Breakfast." he drawls wickedly.

I feel a shiver run down my spine. Turning quickly, I reach for the coffee jar to hide my reaction to his words. It's way out of my reach. I jump and huff in frustration as my fingers merely graze it. Suddenly, I feel a cool, hard chest pressed against my back. My breath catches in my throat as I feel Damon lean into me and grab the coffee of the shelf. He slowly brings it down and places it on the counter.

"Your welcome." he whispers against my ear.

My entire body feels as if it's been lit on fire.I slowly turn and look into his bright, blue eyes.

"Thank you." I breathe.

"No problem." he mumbles, searching my face with his piercing gaze.

I attempt to wiggle out from my position between his body and the counter, and tense when I feel another hard part of him pressed up against me. My throat is as dry as sandpaper and heart rate skyrockets. My eyes find his once again and I notice they seem darker. His body is stiff and his gaze is predatory. Without any conscious thought my gaze drifts to his perfect, pink lips. His eyes glint knowingly and he drops them to my lips. He slowly leans in...and the front door opens. I blink and he's gone. Leaving behind a breeze and a jumbled mess of thoughts and emotions.

My head snaps up as Stefan enters the kitchen wearing a white t-shirt and dark jeans. He smiles warmly at me and I feel like throwing up. I attempt to control my heart beat and wipe the guilt of my face. Here I have this attractive, sweet guy and I'm...doing god knows what with his brother!

"Morning." he greets me, and I want to scream at the irony.

I fake a smile and reply "Hey." He moves towards me to embrace me and I can't do anything but stand rigidly in his arms. He notices and pulls back, his green eyes roaming my face.

"Is something wrong? Are you okay?" he asks perplexed, a small frown forming on his forehead.

I nod mutely and mutter something about sleep but that I'm fine. His features instantly relax and he proceeds to make me my coffee. I chew on my bottom lip and anxiously wonder what this all means. I've always been attracted to Damon, I mean, I'm not blind he's gorgeous. Lately though, he's had a much stronger effect on me, and it scares me. I love Stefan, I know I do. It will always be Stefan. This...thing for Damon will pass. It has to.

AN: Hope you liked it. c: Once again I ask that you PLEASE review/follow. I was so happy about the response that I decided to make this chapter Delena interaction (It was originally Stelena). I'm bringing in a few more characters next chapter and we'll see how Damon and Elena act after their kitchen incident. ;) Thank you so much, and I'll stop babbling now. ox ~Vee
