After I had talked with Damon I felt even closer with him. The fact that he took me seriously and that he knew that I loved him I was just scared.
At that moment I had a lot more to worry about then me and Damon having sex. Before Damon and I had gotten together I had been dating his brother Stefan. I loved Stefan, but not the way I love Damon. Stefan lifted me up when I thought nobody could. After my parents died in the car crash off of Wickery Bridge I thought that I would never be able to love again. Stefan changed that. He helped me see that I could love again, that I could be whoever I wanted, that I wasn't the same Elena that should have died on Wickery Bridge, twice. I shouldn't be alive, but there was a reason that I was. And I think that reason is Damon.
When Stefan found out that Damon and I were together he seemed to be okay but I knew that wasn't true. He had been by my side every day for almost two years; he was totally and completely in love with me. And I was in love with him, at one point, but not anymore. Stefan just couldn't accept that. He didn't understand how one day we were in love and then the next it was over and that I had moved on. But the truth was that this thing with Damon didn't happen overnight, it had been developing over months. Everything that Stefan did wrong drove me closer to Damon.
I will always love Stefan but in a puppy love kind of way. But the love that Damon and I have is indescribable. I feel invincible when I'm with him; he doesn't treat me as if I can be broken. He treats me as if I'm the only thing that can break him.
The bell had just rand and went out to my car and Damon was there.
"What are you doing here" I said right before I embraced him with I kiss.
"I thought I would surprise you and take you out for a little fun?"
"Damon Salvatore a little fun is exactly what I need right now."
We got in the car and started driving. Then our song came on the radio. A Drop In The Ocean by Ron Pope
A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven
I looked over and he was singing along. He looked at me and could just tell how much he loved me. He leaned over and kissed me gently. I pulled him in for a more adoring kiss
I didn't want to let him go. Ever.
Finally we stopped over on the side of the road. It seemed like we had been driving forever.
"Where are we?" I asked.
"You'll find out soon enough."
We started walking and I started to see little lights the closer we got. I realized that there were little lanterns outlining a trail.
"Damon, what is this?"
"Did you forget what today is?'
"…. Om my gosh! I completely forgot that today is our two month anniversary. I am so sorry. It's just I've been really distracted lately, everything with Stefan and then Klaus and Jeremy."
"I know. I know you have been under a lot of stress lately I just thought you needed a night off just to have a little fun. You and me."
"Forever and Always. I love you so much."
I love you too. Now we need to keep walking before it gets dark."
We kept walking and we finally we got to the end of the path. There was an empty plain with I giant tree filled with lights. Underneath the tree was a table with my favorite meal. There was music and everything. It was perfect.
"It's perfect." I said with a tear drop streaming down my face.
