The next day Damon got up out of bed feeling good, knowing he was going on a date with Elena. He got in the shower and got dressed when his phone started to ring.
Elena: "Hey Damon?"
Damon: "Hey!"
Elena: "I'm so sorry I need to reschedule. I got sick this morning from dinner last night, I'm so sorry. How about dinner on Friday? I can cook."
This made Damon sad, but dinner was an even bigger step than coffee, "I'm sorry to hear that, dinner Friday is fine by me, but is there anything that I can do for you?"
Elena: "That's so sweet but I think im going to go pick up some soup and just stay home for now."
Damon: "Nope do not say anymore. What's your address? I will pick you up some soup and crackers and bring them to you."
Elena smiled, no one had ever treated her like this before. She told Damon her address and hung up the phone.
Damon began to walk out of his room when Stefan passed by: "Hey Damon, ready for your date?"
Damon: "There's been a little change of plans but yeah I think it's still a date."
Stefan smiled, he had never seen his brother this happy, and Stefan was happy for him.
When Damon got to the grocery store he had no idea what kind of soup to get because he had never done this for anyone before, not even Stefan. He went with the regular Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup. He went to the cracker aisle and picked up a box of Saltines. He then drove to Elena's house and rang the doorbell.
Jenna opened the door: "Oh you must be Damon! Hi I'm Jenna, Elena is in the living room. It was really sweet of you to bring her soup. You are welcome to stay as long as you want."
Damon: "Thank you, it's a lovely home you have."
Jenna smiled and led Damon into the living room: "I'll take those bags from you, Damon. I'll make the soup for Elena. Would you like some?"
Damon: "No thank you, I'm fine for now."
Damon walked into the living room where Elena was.
Elena: "I am so sorry you have to see me like this. I have no makeup, my hair is a mess. Trust me, this is not my idea of a first date."
Damon smiled at the fact she called it a date: "I think you still look beautiful."
Elena blushed: "Wanna watch a movie?"
Damon sat down next to Elena: "Sure, I would love to."
Jenna interrupted them: "I have to take Jeremy to the doctor, will you be able to handle the soup? I should be back in a few hours."
Damon smiled: "I'll take care of her."
Jenna smiled back and grabbed Jeremy and left the two alone.
Elena: "So what movie do you wanna watch?"
Damon: "Hmmm, how about a classic?"
Elena: "The Breakfast Club?"
Damon: "You read my mind."
They got about a fifteen minutes into the movie when the soup was ready to be eaten. Damon got a bowl for Elena and a bowl for himself. He got her some crackers too. She ate all of it, feeling much better but a little tired. When they were about a half an hour into the movie Elena moved closer to Damon and he put his arm around her. Elena whispered, "I'm cold." Damon held her and wrapped her tight in a blanket within his arms. She rested her head on his chest and before he knew it she was asleep. He didn't even want to breathe because he didn't want to wake her up. He continued to watch the movie until the doorbell rang.
