2. Love
Elena Gilbert woke up one morning, the light streaming in through the boarding house window and shining directly on her lover's face. Elena lay back down and studied his features. His face was so relaxed and innocent when he was sleeping. Almost child-like.
A sudden urge to kiss him overwhelmed her. She shifted so that her face was only a couple inches away from him. Elena closed the remaining distance and placed a firm, yet soft, kiss on his lips. She continued to kiss him until he responded. Their lips moved together for a solid two minutes before he pulled back.
"Good morning to you too," he said playfully, his trademark smirk on his face.
Blushing and breathless from the kiss, she mumbled "Good morning, Damon," in reply.
Raven hair brushed against her forehead as he rested his head on hers. His azure eyes stared into her chocolate ones. The smirk disappeared and was replaced with a look that Elena couldn't decipher.
"Do you have any idea how much I love you," Damon whispered as he tucked a lock of her chocolate brown hair behind her ear.
Elena's breath caught in her throat. It still got her every time he said it.
She couldn't find her voice, so instead she answered by kissing him softly. She put all of her feelings in that one short kiss.
It was moments like these when Elena remembered why she choose Damon. Because even though he can be an egotistical smart-ass, he is also funny, caring, loving, and - even though he would never admit it - a bit soft-hearted.
Those are just a few reasons why Elena Gilbert loves Damon Salvatore.
I hope it was good! Remember to review and tell me what you thought about it.
