Elena s POV:

I wondered when Stefan was going to tell Nicole about him being a vampire. Would he tell her? Or would she have to guess, or worse Damon would bite her before she got the chance I shuddered away from that thought and when Stefan stopped the car at school Nicole climbed immediately out and was met my Caroline and was pulled into a massive hug, I decided to stay inside the car with Stefan sitting next to me.

"Stefan?" he turned towards me and I couldn't help but smile at him.

"Yes." He replied smoothly, smiling.

"Can we tell Nicole about Vampires-" He pressed his finger to my lips before I could even finish the sentence.

"Damon's here." I was fed up of Damon always butting in! Why Damon couldn't he just get a girlfriend and oh wait; he can't do that-because he would just kill the poor girl!

"Hello ladies," he said as he tapped my window, I jumped out of my skin and Stefan held my hand. I rolled down my window and gave Damon my most disgusted looking faces and he rolled his eyes.

"Hello Damon," I said grumpily. Not looking at him, but staring out of the front window of the car.

"Hello Elena, I missed you! See you tonight, honey." I turned to him and I stuck my tongue out and rolled back up the window, he was so irritating sometimes! Stefan squeezed my hand a little and I turned towards him I pressed my lips lightly to his lips and searched around the car and found his phone, I went onto his contacts list and found Damon and clicked the ring button. It rang and he answered:

"Hello brother."

"Hi Damon, it's me. Elena."

"If you tell her a word about you being a vampire, I swear to God-" I grumbled and Stefan tried to calm me by rubbing my shoulder.

"I won't, I won't -"

"Promise?"

"I won't tell her about vampires." I still didn't trust him.

"Okay, good. See you later Damon." I told him through the phone, I could just imagine his facial expression right now and I rolled my eyes.

"See you later sweetie," he said is his sexy voice, sometimes he was just such a jerk!

"You alright?" asked Stefan.

"Yeah I m fine," I replied without thinking. Whenever I used the 'I'm fine' quote, Stefan always knew that there was something up. He tilted his head to the side and I turned to him,

"Please can you make sure that he doesn't tell Nicole about him being a vampire? Please?" I pleaded, he nodded and a small smile crept onto my face.

"Sure, I'll try." He replied and kissed me before I climbed out of the car before we completely made out before school had even started.

Nicole's POV:

A man touched my shoulder from behind me and I stopped pacing and waiting for Elena and Stefan to pick me up. I just stared at him. He had jet black hair that was in immaculate condition. His smile was something that you could look at for hours on end and his eyes...were perfect.

"I'm Damon, I don't believe that we've had the pleasure to meet." He held out his hand and I shook it without thinking. So this was the guy who I was supposed to be meeting tonight.

His voice was even more entrancing than his looks, if that was even possible! "Nicole, right?" I nodded. "Do you need a ride home?" He asked,

"Sure - Drive me straight home though." I told him firmly. He nodded,

"Of course." He answered, I smiled and he walked towards his black car and Damon and I climbed in, I did up my seatbelt and I saw Damon grin.

Under his eyes they turned cracked, Damon, "what's wrong with your eyes?" He covered them up and coughed, he looked down his right side of his seat for a few seconds. I touched his shoulder and he turned around and he looked fine again, what happened?

"I'm sorry Nicole, I had something in my eyes - it's been annoying me all day." he tried to cover up the fact that I saw something, something inhuman. Something that I couldn't even begin to explain.

"It didn't look like that at all." I snapped, he turned towards me.

"Just forget about it." He growled, wait did he just growl at me? I shook my head and I stared out the window, there was something wrong with Damon if that was even his real name.

Damon started the car and I watched his face as he pulled out of the school and drove me and him back to mine and Elena's house. Waiting for his eyes to crack again, but they didn't. They were black though, which was another sign as to what my thoughts were all going towards.

I climbed out of Damon's car and walked up to the front door and opened it, it was unlocked, which was strange. I ignored it and carried on walking into the kitchen, where I saw Elena.

She was sat down on one of the chairs at the table. I sat down on the chair next to her. I hugged her because she looked worried sick, not to mention upset about something.

"Am I interrupting something?" said Damon, I quickly released Elena and turned towards Damon. He was leaning up against the kitchen wall and he started to munch on a bread stick, I searched around the kitchen. Trying to find out where he had got them from.

"No, not at all." said Elena,

"Um, Elena? Is Caroline coming?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at her.

"No, she bailed." Said Damon, I turned back towards him again. Each time he talked electricity flowed through me and it made me jump. I wonder what it would be like whenever I touched him...

"Nicole?" asked Elena, I snapped out of the vision which I had created in my mind and looked at Elena's frantic face.

"Sorry. Daydreaming," She laughed and it was good to see her laugh, maybe tonight wouldn't be so bad after all?

* * *

About half an hour later After me and Elena finished making the food ready we laid it all nicely on the table, Damon went and sat down and started to eat rapidly on a few bread sticks, was he addicted to those things or something?

"Dont let us stop you," I said, he chuckled and continued to eat. I wondered whether I should sit next to Damon or across at him, so I could stare at his perfect features Where were these thoughts coming from!

I walked towards the table and Elena took the chair next to Damon on the left and I took the one opposite Elena. I giggled as I sat down and was close to Damon, he held out a bread stick to me and asked,

"Do you want one?" I laughed and cracked a small smile.

"Yeah sure." And started to nibble on the end. Elena also took one from the bowl and started to eat it. She was wearing a black buttoned short sleeved shirt and a dark coloured pair of jeans. Damon was wearing his usual dark grey with black buttons three quarter length shirt, it fit his torso perfectly.

It showed that he was muscled and he was wearing pair of black trousers. Once I had finished the bread stick, I went over to the counter and stirred the spaghetti which we would be eating, we had sausage rolls and of course bread-sticks the things that Damon was obsessed with.

I decided that it was time to serve the food and grabbed the serving spoon and poured some of it onto three different plates.

Damon came up behind me and I looked up at him and smiled, he was so much taller than me it was incredible. I looked back down again at the plates, before I fainted; and grabbed my plate and moved awkwardly around Damon's body and went and sat down at the table, Elena whispered to me across the table,

"I wish Stefan was here, Nicole." I nodded in agreement, he would brighten up the mood massively. Elena rose from her seat and grabbed her plate of food. Damon came and sat down next to me and said,

"Did you make this?" He raised his eyebrow and I blushed.

"No, Elena did." He turned his head towards the counter where Elena still was,

"Elena this is delicious," He said in a polite voice. He continued to eat and I also began eating my own plate of food, Elena came and sat down with us,

"Thank you, Damon."
We all stayed silent while we were eating, when Damon was finished and of course he would be finished first.
He stood up and walked over to the sink and started to wash his own plate up, I finished up and walked over to the sink and said,

"You don t have to do that,"

"I want to." He answered, he sounded like he had said that a hundred times before.

"Thanks." I replied politely, I walked over to Elena and said

"Be right back." I walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs and knocked on Jeremy s door.

"C-Come in!" he answered, his voice croaky. I opened the door and saw him on his bed and he was playing music out loud from his headphones and they were on his pillow. He looked up at me and asked,

"Do I get any food?" I rolled my eyes.

"If you come downstairs and actually talk to Damon, then yes." He groaned and stood up,

"Fine. I am starving." I walked out of his room and he followed behind me, I walked back into the kitchen and over to the pot of leftover food and poured the rest of the substance onto a plate and Jeremy grabbed it. Thanks. I pointed at Damon, as he had his back to me luckily, he didn t see.

"Hey, Damon,"

"Hello Jeremy, nice to see you. I was beginning to think that you were dead up there," I think that I was missing out on a joke and Jeremy waved his hand in front of his face and fiddled with his huge blue ring he had on there. Why did he wear that?

"Not now Jeremy." Said Elena, I was seriously missing out on something now.

"Guys, what's up? If there is something that I'm missing out on - I want to know what it is." I told them all,

"It's nothing, don't worry about it. Enjoy your night guys. I won't disturb you again. Unless I have to. Aunt Jenna is sleeping around her friend's house tonight, just so you know." He glared at me before he walked back up to his room and ate his dinner, I noticed that all of the plates were clean and Damon grinned and he walked over to a cupboard where we kept all of the alcohol, me and Elena rarely got drunk and sometimes Aunt Jenna did.

"Do you drink?" asked Damon, turning to me and smiling

"Sometimes." I answered, we were only seventeen but Aunt Jenna kept a supply whenever she felt down. Damon opened one of the bottles and asked,

"Where do you keep the glasses?"

"Er, this cupboard." Said Elena nervously as she opened the cupboard nearest to her, Damon took out a few glasses and poured himself some wine and poured me and Elena a glass each, he handed me mine and I took it and Elena took hers.

"To friendship." He winked at me; we all pressed our glasses in a toast. Damon drank down his first and he poured some more for himself, I looked at Elena in surprise and she quickly placed her glass down and ran up the stairs. I heard her open her bedroom door and I drank a few sips of my drink, after I finished the first glass Damon said,

"Good, isn t it?"

"I s'pose." I answered; he chuckled and poured me some more. Damon must've been on his fourth glass when Elena came down the stairs and had a frantic look in her eyes again. I rushed towards her and rubbed her shoulders,

"Stefan will be here in a minute." She said, she didn't sound too happy about it.

"Why are you sad then?" she glanced towards Damon,

"He goes over the top when he's drunk."

"Hey I am not drunk!" he yelled over to us, he was now drinking out of the bottle, spilling some of it onto the floor and I laughed slightly.

"I think you are," I told him. 'But you are so sexy still' I added in my mind, I hoped that my lust didn t show on my face. Where were these crazy thoughts and feeling towards Damon even coming from? I had only met the guy a few times! He would never even take a second glance towards me.
