It's been three weeks since the night with Damon. I'm trying to forget about it but my brain won't stop flooding with images of him kissing me. I haven't seen him either. The guilt was killing me ever so slowly every time I was with Elena or Alex. I decided to tell the truth to Alex and break-up with him at the same time, because I knew that our relationship wasn't going anywhere. I knew it was harsh but it needed to be done. Surprisingly the conversation went smooth:

"We need to talk." I said as I sat down in a chair at the Grill.

"About?" he asked.

"Our relationship."

"Really? It's funny because I was going to tell you the same thing."

"Oh goody then were on the same page. I have a confession to make and I think you're not going to like it." I declared.

"Go ahead."

I took a deep breath and spoke quickly. "I cheated on you with another man and I think that our relationship is not passionate enough." He looked at me both shock and confusion written all over his face.

"So you're breaking-up with me because you cheated on me and our relationship is not worth it?"

"Yes."

"Ironic enough, I agree with you about our relationship and I was cheating on you too." He admitted, looking at his hands underneath the table.

Now I was the one shocked and confused. Then a smile spread across my face. "I hope we can still be friends." I said. "Of course" he replied as he stood up and I mimicked him. We had an awkward hug and he walked out the Grill.

Now I was all alone in my house thinking and finishing the article I needed to turn in tomorrow. My boss was on my case since I was going to work late. The guilt was slightly reduced since my break-up with Alex but I haven't told Elena yet. This caused me not to sleep at night. Tossing and turning was what I did all night because I can't sleep. No sleep equals me being exhausted and not getting out of bed. Which means being late. I e-mailed the article and decided to go for a jog.

Running was a way to clear my head. I felt free. Peaceful. Calm. No vampires, no magic, no werewolves, no nothing. I noticed that this was one of those rare moments when I don't have to worry about anything. Of course with my luck it had to be ruined by one Damon Salvatore.

"What do you want?" I said looking at him sideways.

"You." He answered.

"Ha-ha, very funny Damon." I stated dully.

He rolled his eyes but we continued jogging. It was a comfortable silence that enveloped between us. I stopped to catch my breath and he did the same. Panting, I looked at him and asked "Seriously, why are you here Damon?"

"Fine, I came to tell you that Elena cheated on me and you'll never guess with whom."

My eyes widened. Stefan, I thought. "Stefan."

"Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding we have a winner." He said sarcastically.

"I'm sorry Damon." was all I could say.

He just looked away avoiding my eyes.

"Did you tell her about what happened between us?" I then asked nervously.

He looked back at me and responded, "Sorry, I said it before I knew what I was saying."

Oh no she is never going to forgive me, was my first thought. My second thought was that she deserved it. What she did to Damon was out of character of her. Elena was turning into another Katherine every day. I was no different, I thought dryly. "Oh well." I thought aloud.

Our eyes met and suddenly the atmosphere got thicker. Our lips inched closer until they met into a slow and passionate kiss. I couldn't think straight, my mind was hazy and all I could think about was his lips against mine.
