The thumping of the rain on the window woke me. But it wasn't all bad; I could feel warm, gentle arms wrapped around my waist. This I could get used to. I did nothing but smile. I finally turned to see the wonderful Elijah Mikaelson. He looked so peaceful, so precious, so perfect. I could watch him for days. Running my fingers along his chest was amazing. The tingling sensation I got when doing so was crazy. I laid in his arms, resting my head on his chest enjoying this perfect moment. I didn't want this moment to ever end, but I knew it would eventually.

2 hours passed and the peaceful Elijah woke.
"Morning sleepyhead"
"Morning" he spoke tiredly, leaning in for a kiss.

When we kissed it still gave me butterflies. Why did everything seem so perfect after just 2 months of being together without any drama?

"I've got to go to class today, it's important" he said while getting out of bed.
"No worries, I'm going go into the mystic grill and see matt for a bit anyway. I haven't seen him in a while" I replied.
"be careful" He kissed my forehead and went to go shower.

My phone began vibrating, it was Damon. He seemed to be different now Elijah had said. But all I've ever known is "mr nice Damon" and he's a amazing friend.

"What can I do for you today Mr Salvatore?" I put on my best British accent.
He laughed down the phone.
"Are you free this afternoon?" He questioned.
"Well I was going to spend the afternoon annoying everyone at mystic grill, is everything okay?" I asked curiously.
"I'll meet you there at 2pm and explain everything" he answered happily.
"See you soon, sugarplum" and I hung up.

Elijah stepped out the bathroom in only his robe around his waist. Shit he was hot, and he was mine. I couldn't help but bite my lip. Elijah chuckled and put on the kettle to make hot drinks. I quietly ran up to him and dominantly pounced onto his back, but of course Elijah won the fight with the vampire strength and speed and all.. He made us both a drink and finally got changed into a gorgeous black suit with a navy blue tie. When he was ready he joined me on the couch again and welcomed me to his lap, enjoying the final few minutes before he had to leave.

A few hours after Elijah had left I made my way to the mystic grill in my little Peugeot - it was suitable for me-
I walked through the door to a welcoming face I had missed.
"Hey stranger" Matt hugged me tight.
"It's been so long, I see this place hasn't changed. How are you?" I grinned.
"Same old mystic grill huh" he chuckled.
"I'm great. How are you?"
"I'm pretty good" I replied with a warm smile.

The doors to mystic grill flew open and of course Damon came flawlessly walking in.

"Oh great" matt sighed and walked away, I let out a silent laugh before he made his way over.

"So what's so important that you wanted to tell me?" I questioned as we took a seat at a table.
"The talk of the town is that Klaus is coming back to mystic falls to see Elijah, but when klaus i-"
"Yeah, where Klaus is there's always trouble" I snapped cutting Damon up short.
Damon frowned.
"And I'm bored of that campus and wanted to have some fun" he smirked.
I lost control of my laughter.
"So you thought, oh hey lily is fabulous and so much fun let's call her" I chuckled cockily.
"Exactly, just knock fabulous out and we're there" he winked.
"Hey" I frowned while throwing a napkin at him playfully.

My phone began to vibrate, Elena was calling.
"Elena? Hi…."
Damon rolled his eyes.
"Party? tonight? Where?" I questioned smirking at Damon's curious look.
"Got it, see you tonight".
I never realised until now, it's been a month since we last spoke. She's been pretty busy with Damon.

"Where's this party we're going to then?" Damon winked.
'Big jo's" I smirked.
"Would be a better party at the boarding house" he shrugged.
"Unless you can prepare a party in 3 hour I wouldn't complain, besides a party anywhere can be fun with the right people" I winked.
"Come on, let's go, im already sick of the sight of this place" Damon rose from the table and reached for my hand. I took his hand and we went for a ride in his Chevy.

"Oh shit, I need a new dress for tonight" I moaned.
"Go in the jeans and shirt that you're wearing, you look hot" Damon smirked.
"Yeah, why not? I mean there's nothing wrong with that huh?" I said sarcastically.
"I think Caroline would kill me" I chuckled.
"Is that a hint that I've got to take you shopping?" Damon complained.
"It's a demand" I smirked. Damon groaned.

I stepped out the bathroom in my robe, seeing the house so empty was strange. I guess it's better than being in the small dorm surrounded by everyone getting ready for Elena's party. I looked at the dress I had bought for tonight, it was beautiful. How I'm going to pull it off I don't know. It was a knee length, blood red dress with sequins in a beautiful pattern under the bust. Damon has pretty good taste when it comes to dress shopping. Now the dress is done, I'm going to have to decide on how im going to have my hair and makeup. Letting out a sigh I make my way to the dressing table and begin experimenting with makeup and trying numerous hairstyles.

I pinned half my hair up, leaving a little of my bangs down and the other half curly. My eye shadow was a dark red blended with a little eye liner and fake lashes. I looked in the mirror and was stunned at how different I looked. I looked somehow, beautiful. I placed my feet into the 5 inch black heels and I was ready to go. I walked to big jo's and wow, this place looked amazing. Elena really did put so much into this party. I saw Damon's car parked outside so I assumed he was inside.

Pushing through the queue of people surrounding the entrance I finally made it inside. Scanning the room to see if I could find someone I knew well, I found Damon by the bar, who surprisingly was already staring at me. I flashed a smile but he didn't react. He was wearing a white buttoned shirt with dark jeans, he looked amazing, he looked hot. I began walking over to him when Caroline grabbed my arm and dragged me to where Elena and Bonnie was standing.

"You look amazing" Elena commented.
"That dress is perfect" Caroline commented.
"I love your hair" Bonnie commented.
"Thank you. You all look gorgeous" smiling giving them bear hugs.
"Now are we going to get drunk or what?" I shouted in excitement and everyone cheered along.

Finally, making my way to the bar I spotted Damon drinking alone.
"2 vodka shots please" I ordered. The shots came and I drank them. I looked at Damon and saw him smirking at me.
"Hey, 3 more please"
"You look stunning" Damon commented.
"Screw up well yourself" I winked while handing him a shot. We drank them and I ordered 4 more.
"Sure you can handle this?" He smirked
"I have handled more shit than you can imagine, this is nothing." I replied before thinking.
Damon looked at me worryingly.

I laughed in response to his look and walked over to Caroline and continued to drink.
A few hours later I stumbled back over to the bar and ordered 2 shots handing one over to Damon.
After drinking the shot I lost my balance and fell into Damon, we both laughed it off and continued to drink.

"What are you doing?" Elena pushed me away and frowned.
"Woah, calm down babe. I'm having fun" I responded laughing and reaching for her.
"It looked a hell of a lot more than that" she continued looking at me and Damon shrugging me away.
"I'm having a few shots with him, is that a problem?" I questioned drunkenly.
"I've just seen you all over him" Elena pushed.
"She stumbled and I caught her, that was it" Damon defended.
"You know what? I don't need this. I'm your best friend, Damon is your boyfriend or whatever the fuck he is. Do you really think we'd do something like that? Maybe you need to learn to trust the ones you love" I snapped and pushed passed and headed for the door.
