And here is the second chapter =) I hope you like it!

I forgot my disclaimer in the first chapter, so here it is now: I do not own anything =)

Start of Something Good - Daughtry

I had just told her everything. I needed to let her know exactly how I felt about her. While I was ranting about how crazy I was about her, she was arguing with me about it all. She kept saying that it wasn't possible, that it would never work, stupid things like that. I was getting so fed up with her denial that I had blurted out that I was in love with her.

It took me a moment to realize what I just said and then terror took over my body.

Had I said too much? Would she be disgusted by me now? Would she turn and leave me standing there? But she didn't; she just stood in front of me, dumbfounded.

"What?" she whispered, a look of disbelief on her face.

"Oh come on Elena, it's not like you didn't already know that," I retorted. On the outside I appeared angry, annoyed, and frustrated when inside I was a nervous wreck. I could only hope that she didn't see through me.

"Damon..." Elena started.

I cut her off and said, "I know. You don't have to explain. I know you're still hung up on Stefan." I couldn't bring myself to look in her eyes. I knew that if I did it would be my undoing.

"Damon look at me," she said with more conviction this time, and I almost did. Instead I walked just a few feet away from her. I couldn't be that close to her anymore; it hurt too much to know that I couldn't just take her in my arms and hold her.

I folded my arms across my chest and stayed silent. I was afraid that if I spoke, my shaking voice would give me away.

Elena glided over to me and stood directly in front of me. I still tried to look away from her, refusing to meet her eyes, but when she grabbed my chin and pulled my face down I had no choice. Her eyes burned into mine, and I felt like my soul, or at least what was left of it, was out on display for her.

She took a deep breath before speaking. "When I told you we would let him go, I meant it." When I still said nothing she continued to say, "I let go of Stefan. Some part of me will always love him, but that doesn't mean I can't love someone else."

I didn't want to get my hopes up with what she could by implying so I stayed quiet and lost myself even further into her deep brown eyes.

"That doesn't mean I can't love you, Damon," Elena said as she moved her hands to my shoulders, tilted her face up, and placed her lips gently on my cheek.

I closed my eyes and sighed softly as she went to kiss my other cheek. I scowled internally when I realized what she was doing. She was trying to get me to break down. Normally I would shoo any other girl away, but Elena was not just another girl.

Her hands fell down my chest to the top of my jeans and I felt my eyes roll to the back of my head in pleasure. Her lips on my neck pushed me past my breaking point, and a low growl escaped my throat.

I pushed Elena against the wall; one hand cradled her head so she didn't slam it on the wall, and the other rested on her hip. I searched her eyes for any sign of resistance or fear, but I only saw love and lust.

While I wanted to devour her mouth with mine, I wanted out first real kiss to be tender and loving. So I gently kissed her perfect lips and my stomach did flips when she kissed me back. I moved both of my hands to cup her face and gently deepened the kiss.

She allowed me entrance into her mouth and our tongues danced together in perfect harmony. I was trying my hardest to not get too excited or too rough; I needed to show her how much I loved her. Elena, however, had other plans. She grabbed my hips and roughly pulled me against her body.

I groaned at the sudden contact and lost all coherent thought as she continued the kiss, but with new passion. She pressed her lips hard against mine and we fought for dominance with our tongues. I pressed my hands to the wall on either side of Elena's head and eagerly reciprocated her passion.

When oxygen became a necessity, we pulled back and stared into each other's eyes. Our breathing was labored, but I managed to gasp out, "you're mine," in a surprisingly husky voice.

"I'm yours," Elena confirmed in an equally husky and sexy voice as she smiled slightly and reclaimed my lips.

I couldn't help myself and I wound my fingers through her hair and smiled into our kiss. My elation rose even higher as I felt her smile too.

There you go! Please review! I would love to hear your thoughts =)
