Curse

Chapter 3

I awoke the next morning to hear a song being chirped by a bird outside my window. I felt joyful this morning…. that is until I smelled breakfast cooking downstairs to remember that the chef was Damon. I remembered last night when I woke up being threatened to help some strange vampire to get revenge on my boyfriend who I loved more than life itself. I decided to get up and spend the time that I could with him. I sulked to the door to find a note on it. I read it…..

Meet me at the very crowded park today at 12 sharp to discuss our scheme against your boyfriend. If you not show up I will only assume that you decided not to do the right thing and you will get a taste of what will happen… -you know who-

I glared at the piece of paper and crumbled it into a ball to throw on my desk. I then skipped downstairs to see Damon making me some delectable scrambled eggs. The moment he saw me, he zoomed to my side.

"Good morning, cara," he spoke softly into my ear. He kissed me very lightly on the cheek. It only left me wanting more though. I pulled him to my side by the back of his neck and kissed him on the lips. He did not move away or resist me. He only gave in and kissed me back. After a few seconds of being hooked to him, I pulled away.

"You never told me what that means anyways," I said sitting down. Damon got a plate out of the cabinet and scooped me some scrambled eggs. He set them down in front of me with a fork and I dug in.

"I will. When the time is right. But all you need to know now is that I love you." I gazed in Damon's eyes and said, "I love you too!"

I finished my eggs and got up to rinse my plate off at the sink.

"Oh yeah! I made reservations for us at this one restaurant today at noon." I jumped at the thought of me missing the meeting and waking up again to the terrible vampire.

"Really?" I asked sounding impressed. "That's great. But I can't make it. Sorry, but I told Meredith that I would help her out with something really important. You know Meredith. She'll track me down if I don't show up and- yeah."

"For what?"

"Not showing up," I said again.

"No. Not that. What are you going to help her with?"

"Oh… that? Well, I was umm… I was going to help with umm….. It's sort of a surprise. Ok?"

"Of course. Tell you what; I'll drive you there now. Besides, it's already eleven. You'll be able to have another hour with her. You know. Tell her what I'm doing wrong."

"You're not doing anything wrong! I just told I'd help her with something. Here, I'll meet you there tomorrow. OK?" Damon smiled at me. For a second I thought he wouldn't answer me but then he did.

"Anything you want, cara."

I giggled wondering what that could possibly mean. Damon grinned back at me. He loved my dorky laugh. Knowing that only made me want to laugh harder. But I stopped as soon as I remembered that I was supposed to help do something to him. That thought really got me down. But I wouldn't do anything to him. I would rather die. That thought sort of lighten my spirits. I laughed again at my thoughts. This only made me want to laugh longer and louder.

"You seem to be in a good mood today," said Damon. I nodded. He picked up his car keys, tossed them tossed them in the air, and then caught them.

"Where are we going," I asked.

"I told you. I'm taking you to Meredith's."

"Oh. Yeah. Ok, let's go." I have no idea how I'm going to pull this off. Maybe Meredith will play along. Wait! Damon's not going to walk me to the door….

10 minutes later…..

"You know you don't you don't need to walk me to the door, Damon," I spoke unsurely at him. He didn't say anything…just smiled at me and knocked on the door. The door opened. Please be Meredith! Please be Meredith! Sure enough, it was her. She looked shocked. Then glared at Damon. Then turned to me and smiled and hugged me in.

"Finally! I was wondering when you'd get here. Thank you for driving her over, Damon." Meredith forced a smile. "I bet she would have forgotten to come." Then she closed the door once making sure that I was inside before Damon could say goodbye to me.
