DON'T OWN VD!

Cara spent hours looking for Enzo. Cara looked up at the sky and sighed in worry. It was getting dark and still there wasn't any sign of Enzo. He wasn't in a good condition when he had run away from the café that morning.

After another half an hour of walking, Cara found Enzo sitting in the park all alone. He looked lost and hurt.

Cara approached him and sat beside him.

"She wouldn't have died if she hadn't met me. If only I hadn't come into her life, she would've been sitting somewhere, playing with her grandchildren."

"No Enzo, that's not true." Cara took hold of Enzo's hand. "Meeting you must have been the most wonderful thing of her life. She wouldn't have wanted it any other way."

Cara felt something wet on her hands. She realized that Enzo was crying.

Seeing Enzo in such a condition caused Cara immense pain. She took Enzo in her embrace. Enzo started shuddering, tears spilling on Cara's shoulder.

Cara hugged him tight, hoping to take all his pain away. She would've done anything to get the old witty, funny and annoying Enzo back, even if it meant trading her life for Maggie's.

Cara took Enzo to her home since she wasn't sure if Enzo wouldn't start attempting murder if he saw Damon this soon.

"Thank you."

I stopped to look at him. He continued, "Thank you for stopping me in the morning. I probably would've regretted it after a decade." With that, he walked past me into the kitchen.

I didn't comment. It was best if this matter was done and over with.

"Enzo…"

"Yes darling?"

Great! Enzo was back being a pain. Cara sighed at his choice of words but couldn't help her heart doing a little flip at it too.

"The guestroom is the first one upstairs. You should go freshen up." I started preparing for dinner. "I'm sorry, but I don't have any change of clothes for you."

"Oh, why not?" Enzo moved closer to Cara.

"I am sure your boyfriends must have left a bit of their clothing behind," Enzo teased Cara.

Cara rolled her eyes and said, "No Enzo-…"

"Oh maybe it is the other way round," he cut in. "Maybe you usually leave your tits and bits of clothing at their place, huh."

"Everyone's clothes are at their own homes!" she said in exasperation.

"Oh don't be shy - "

"I don't have a boyfriend!"

"…but surly you must have had one before…" He looked at Cara with narrowed eyes.

Cara squirmed under his gaze and turned around to work at the kitchen counter.

Suddenly, Enzo came from behind and trapped Cara between his hands against the counter, his warm breath sending electric shocks from her earlobe to her entire body. Cara's entire body froze due to the close proximity.

"Cara Black…," he whispered. "You're not only the strongest witch, but the most innocent lady I've ever met."

Cara had no idea how to reply to that statement, but her body knew how to reply to Enzo's closeness. It was like every nerve in her body was on super alert for Enzo.

Before she knew it, Cara heard Enzo's voice from the stairs. "I won't have dinner. You can have my share." His voice was full of tease.

Even after Enzo disappeared up the stairs, Cara stood frozen at the spot. Even after she was left alone in the kitchen, she still felt the heat in the air from Enzo's body. Cara sighed deeply.

She walked into her living room and sat down. She wasn't hungry either. Enzo tried to sound alright, but Cara knew otherwise. He was just trying to hide his pain and put up a fake front. But even if he was pretending, his actions in the kitchen were real to Cara.

Enzo is a rebellious soldier and a huge flirt. A vampire, who could kill people in cold blood without batting an eye. Also has an annoying sense of humour. How can he, of all people, be the one with whom Cara falls in love with!

Cara holds her head and groans loudly. She gasps and holds her breath quick. How could she forget that Enzo could most likely hear her! Damn vampires and their damn good hearing!

She thought back to what had conspired in the kitchen.

What if bringing Enzo home wasn't such a good idea after all… she thought with a frantic heart.

BOY OH BOY! :D
