Elena POV

This morning I lay in bed, my head full of things to think on. It's so cozy in my bed, yet it's uncomfortable; inhabited, yet so lonely…I hadn't slept in a bed with another person in over six years. I just am not comfortable doing that anymore. Not since him. Damon Salvatore. The once love of my life, those many six years ago. After he left…I was heartbroken for awhile. I couldn't even leave the house. I was 16 at the time, still living with Aunt Jenna. Still in high school, I tried to date other people, but it just didn't feel right…the way they would hold me in their arms felt otherworldly, the way our hands didn't fit together, the awkward silences…my mind trailed off. That was the most miserable time of my life.

But soon, I decided to move on. Maybe not romantically, but educationally. I moved to be closer to campus. The house next to Damon's conveniently happened to be available for sale, and I bought it. When my parents died, they left both me and my brother Jeremy an inheritance. Jeremy blew his every chance he got. Me? I never touched mine. Except at the beginning of school for school supplies and a few new clothes, I didn't want to bother Jenna with that kind of stuff. So when the house went up for sale, I bought it. I wanted to be closer to the only piece of Damon I had left. The boarding house; I figured he was never coming back, so it didn't really matter. It was just off campus, it was perfect in many ways, even if my life wasn't. All I had were Jenna and Jeremy…not even a best friend. That had been ruined before I was even with Damon, at that time myself and Damon were only friends. I cringed at the memory of the second worst time of my life.

Back then, me and Bonnie were really close best friends who told each other everything, although I know now that that was a crock of shit…apparently she didn't have the decency to tell me she was fucking my boyfriend Stefan. Some friend huh? Some boyfriend huh? They both suck. I should have seen it coming, she started acting kind of funny, and she lied to me quite frequently. I figured she was planning a party or something, because my birthday was the next month. So I let the funny behavior slide…by the time my birthday came I had found out. Wanna know how? I walked into Stefan's bedroom one day after school on a very disturbing scene. The two of them on his bed going at it like bunny rabbits. That was my 15th birthday. Lovely huh? I raced home, and stayed holed up in my room for a few months. Didn't come out except for food, showers, and school.

And obviously that didn't end well for our friendship. I was very upset with that lying skank of a whore…How could two of the most important people in my life hurt me? They "apologized" but flaunted their relationship blatantly in front of me for the coming weeks. As far I know now, not that I care…they are still together. And he's cheating on her, who knows if she knows…who really cares. She's getting what she deserves. I had given Stefan everything, how could he take everything I had given him and throw it away and leave me? I couldn't understand…but I didn't really want to either. It would only make it that much more painful. A few months after that myself and Damon started going out. He was the only one there for me after Stefan broke my heart, and Damon was there every day for me. Sitting in my room, sleeping in my bed to keep me company, doing anything for me. He was there in whatever capacity I needed from him; what I needed most from him was a friend. Over time in those coming months, we fell in love and started dating, and yes I found myself comparing the two brothers…but honestly Damon was so much more caring, open, truthful; gentle yet rough, shy yet seductive. He was perfection. I'd pictured the rest of our lives together…but college and some chick named Caroline ruined that future for me.

I decided I needed to get out of bed and stop thinking. I grabbed a fresh pair of clothes and headed for the shower. Even in the shower, I was still thinking about Damon…how could I not? I was thinking to one memory in particular…and even just thinking about it made me blush.

I stood in the doorway to my bathroom, "Damon, I'm going to go take a shower. You can, I don't know…watch TV or something, kay?" I told Damon, I really needed a shower…Damon woke me up at the crack of dawn for a quickie before school. Not that I minded, but I didn't want to go to school smelling like sex, sex, and more sex…because that quickie, it wasn't that quick. In fact, it went on for about 2 hours or so, we just can't keep our hands off each other…

"Want me to join you?" Damon looked at me and smirked his devilish smirk and wiggled his eyebrows at me suggestively.

"I need to get to school. And to do that, I need to shower…and haven't you had enough of me this morning?" I giggled and winked at him, and walked into the shower. I turned it on very hot this morning, it was cold outside, and I wanted to warm up before going out into that cold weather. I disposed of my clothes on the floor, and got into the shower. I started soaping up my body, and was about to shampoo my hair when I heard the door open. And the shower door went open so fast, if I would have blinked I would have missed it. Damon got into the shower, in his clothes might I add, and pushed me up against the wall.

"Damon…I need to get ready for school…" I tried pleading with him. I really didn't need to be late again this week…

"Oh, don't try to fight me Elena…you're gonna love this." He said as he parted the lips of my nether region and began to lick and suck at my clit. Yeah, he was right…god it felt so good. I instantly dropped the soap, and giggled as I thought about the joke about dropping the soap. Damon quick while I was distracted and not fighting with him stuck two fingers into my wet hole.

"Oh…fuck! Damon…" I moaned…he smirked at me, clearly enjoying this for himself. He started to increase his movements, still sucking on my clit. God, if I didn't know better I'd say I was in Heaven. Yet again, he sped up his thrusts with his fingers inside me, I could feel myself getting closer and closer, and then he inserted a third finger. Hot damn, if I was close before…now I was going over the edge. I felt my walls contract around his fingers, and I shouted his name over and over.

"Damon, oh god…" I moaned, and then I came all over his fingers. I smiled deliciously at him and brought him up and kissed him, not caring where his mouth had just been. I was in pure bliss.

That was the morning after the carnival where we first had sex. We had went off the fairgrounds, and to a secluded area and found a dry patch of grass. We watched the stars and talked…and later on we had sex. It was the most amazing experiences I had ever had. I had been with guys before…Damon wasn't my first…but he definitely was the biggest and best in that department. He was the only one that took his time with me and made love, and showed me he truly cared. I really loved him…I noticed the water was really cold now. I must have lost track of time something horrible. I turned off the water, and jumped out of the shower and grabbed a towel.

I went into my room and put on a set of black lacy lingerie I had. I stood there for a minute looking in the mirror, and then decided to get something from under my bed. I bent over to get the box from under my bed, and I felt like someone was watching me. I stood up for just a second, and thought I was being ridiculous. I shook the feeling off, and bent over again and this time grabbed the box. I sat it on the bed and sat down and opened it.

Inside was a necklace that Damon had gotten me while we were together. It had two hearts connected and the letters D&E engraved. On the front, not the back. He said it was because he wanted people to know I was his, and only his. As if they couldn't tell by all the hickeys on my neck…but this way he said they would know exactly who I belonged to. I belong…or belonged to him anyway. I moved it out of the way and saw a picture of myself and Damon kissing, and I felt tears slowly going down my face. I wiped them off my face and mentally slapped myself for being such a fool. There was also a few loves notes in here from him, I decided it might be a bit too much to read those right now. I was already blubbering like a complete idiot. I put everything back in the box and closed it. I put it back under my bed, and continued getting dressed, Wiping my tears along the way.

I got into my car, and headed for the grill I was hungry and kinda lonely. Thinking maybe I could make a new friend at the grill. Who was I kidding? I knew everyone in Mystic Falls, and they didn't want to be friends. I arrived about 5 minutes after I left home at Mystic Grill, and parked my car on the opposite side of the street. I got out of the car, looked both ways before I sprinted across the street. I almost ran into the door, and laughed at myself for being excited to go eat. I walked in the door and about pissed myself. There, in all his glory was Damon Salvatore. He was talking to Bonnie, I couldn't hear what he was saying, but he looked pissed. This girl was hanging onto his arm, trying to pull him from the argument. He turned around, to what I'm guessing was to leave. He collided right into me, because he was seething and looking at the floor as he walked out. Probably to keep from hitting Bonnie.

I had all kinds of emotions going through me at that point. Why was Damon here? Was he here to stay? Damn, he looks real good in those jeans…who's the chick though? Shit…I hope she's not his girlfriend…because I would love a shot at him. I knew I shouldn't think that way, it's been six years…he's probably forgotten all about me. He's been gone to college, doing whatever he wants whenever he wants, I was probably the furthest thing from his mind. I pulled myself out of my thoughts, and looked at him all excitedly. His face instantly went from "pissed the fuck off", to "excited happy". That made me giggly on the inside, maybe he did remember me. At least, I would hope he would.

"Damon! Oh my god!" I said excitedly.

"Elena!" Damon said, God, I had really really missed him.. We hugged so tight, I thought he had become a body builder. He was so much stronger than I remembered. "You look so different, you look great!" Damon smiled at me. It was a real smile, and not one of those sexy, delicious smirks.

Before I had a chance to respond, the girl cleared her throat.

"Sorry baby, this is my best friend Elena Gilbert. Elena, this is my girlfriend Caroline." Damon told Caroline. He looked at me and said, "We just moved back."

I smiled at Caroline, this is the girl he met right after he dumped me. Damn…they've been together all this time? I really don't have a chance.. I opened my mouth, and spoke at sincerely as I could, "Pleased to finally meet you Caroline," I smiled at Caroline, hoping she would think I really meant it.

"I've heard so much about you Elena and seen so many pictures as well. Damon's right, you are beautiful." Caroline gushed about me. Well, at least he hadn't forgotten me! According to him, I was still his best friend. He didn't introduce me as his ex-girlfriend…but as his best friend. That's true, it was what we currently are…but maybe he doesn't want to tell her. Maybe she's the extremely jealous type.

I smiled at her, almost blushing, "Thank you, so where are you two living?" I asked Damon. I mean he moved back…and I didn't know where he lived yet. Why hadn't he called at told me. I hadn't spoken to him in about a month, guess he was busy moving.

"In the boarding house…" he began, I didn't let him finish though. I can't believe I was living RIGHT next door to him. Oh my god…this was going to be fucking fantastic!

"Really! Oh my god! Guess where I'm living now?" I practically jumped up and down telling him.

"Where?" he asked.

"Right next door to you!" I squealed. God, my life just got a whole lot better. I had someone to talk to, FINALLY!

Before Damon could even say anything, Caroline spoke up.

"Oh my gosh! Really? We are gonna be the best of friends!", Caroline said. She seemed really excited…maybe I'm here first friend here. I wondered how long they'd been here in town, without me noticing. It can't be too long, with them moving right next door. There's no way I would have been oblivious for a month or longer.

Caroline spoke up again, "Would you like to go to the carnival with us tonight, Elena?" Caroline asked me. Oh my god…is the carnival really tonight? I thought back to the carnival with Damon. I wondered if he was thinking the same thing, and by the devilish grin on his face, I'd say he was. I blushed, just thinking about it.

"Sure! That would be great", I told Caroline. Yay! I night to spend with Damon. I was really excited. I wondered how much Caroline really knew, I made a mental note to ask Damon later.

We said our goodbyes, and I went home to get ready for tonight. We'd agreed to meet there later. I was so excited, really I was. I shouldn't be, but I was. After six long years, I was hoping there was still a spark there…whether he had a girlfriend or not. I wouldn't make him or anything…but I had my hopes up. Could you really blame me?
