I do not own anything from the vampire diaries show or book.
Previously on Playing Hard To Get:
General POV
He looked her straight in the eyes wondering why she would think that he tries so hard to get her attention to think that he'd just use her, and with that his lips crashed onto hers in the most intense moment of passion either of them have ever experienced.
EPOV
The moment our lips touched, I knew that I'd lost. I wanted him right now…needed him even so I gave in. I've never ever felt this way before, not even with Matt and we were together for a year. Uhh these delicious lips I've been non stop thinking about I finally have but I can't. As I pulled back from the kiss in need for air Damon and I looked straight into eachother's eyes before I realized he was going in for more. As I panicked I pulled away and looked into his icy blue eyes trying to finds words to say.
"Wow…look uhh I…I have to uh go…" I said softly and out of breathe before grabbing my bag and running to my car with tears in my eyes and not looking back.
DPOV
Man is she amazing, but what did I do wrong? I thought as I watched the girl I want more than life itself run to her car and leave.
"Lena" I yelled softly while she drove away. Quickly grabbing my phone and texting Kat to let her know what just happened.
To Kitty Kat: I was just at the falls with Lena…she was high, we talked and even kissed a little
From Kitty Kat: OMG! That's good right?!
To Kitty Kat: Well yes, except for the fact that she ran away crying…
From Kitty Kat: Look I'll talk to her…she was probably just overwhelmed with well everything. I'll let you know how it goes later.
To Kitty Kat: Kay thanks.
Klaus POV
"It's the last house on the right, yes?" I asked Caroline who was looking out the window.
"Uhh yeah. That's it right there" She said softly as we pulled up to a nice yellow house.
"Well here we are love," I said.
"Yeah…thanks for uhh the ride" She said sweetly. As she was about to get out of the car, I grabbed her wrist pulling her back in. As I did, she gave me a confused look.
"Look Caroline, I know I may not be exactly your, how do I say this? Ideal guy? But I' willing to try if you are" I said as she looked at me in deep thought.
"All I'm asking for is one shot…Say tomorrow night at the Mystic Grill? Please love?" I said with a sweet smile. After a few moments she was finally ready to respond.
"Alright. One shot at a first date. Pick me up at 7 here and we'll go" She said excited.
"Alright love…I'll see you tomorrow" I said winking as she began to get out of the car…then the last thing I ever thought would've happened did. She leaned in and kissed me cheek saying, "Thanks for the ride, I'll see you tomorrow" she said as she got out and walked to her door. Once I saw that she was in the house I drove away with a big smile on my face, I had to let my boys know.
CPOV
Oh my god he's so sexy and so sweet at the same time. Uhh what am I going to wear tomorrow before pulling my phone out and letting Kat, Lena, and Bon know that we're having an emergency girl meeting at my place in 10.
*10 minutes later*
"I got here as soon as I could" said Bonnie.
"What do you need us for? I thought something happened to you" Kat said in frustration. "Did you tell Lena to come" she said before I could answer her other question.
"Something did happen, and I let her know she'll be here in 5" I told to two.
"Yeah she ditched last period to head to the falls and Damon happened to be there too…they talked and ended up kissing then she left…crying" Kat said.
"Well yeah she was probably overwhelmed with tons of emotions so she ran" Bonnie said.
"Like usual" I said under my breath loud enough for only a vampire to hear. Then we all heard the front door open and a couple second later Elena walked in.
EPOV
"Hey guys…what's so important that you needed me here in 10 for?" I asked.
"Well like I told you, Klaus gave me a ride home and as I was getting out of the car after thanking him for the ride he pulled me back in to ask me on a date" she explained.
"And?" Kat, Bonnie, and I all said in unison.
"And I said yes then kissed him on the cheek…oh my god guys it was perfect!" she said happily.
"Speaking of kisses today," Kat said looking at me. "I heard that you and Damon shared a very exciting one" she said smirking. Dammit! Why does she always have to know everything?
"Uhh yeah about that…I kind of left crying on him. I was just so overwhelmed and it was yeah" I said nervously.
"Aww Lena that okay! At least you two got it out of the way…but the real question is what're you going to do about your soon to be relationship now?" Caroline asked excited that some form of Delena finally occurred.
"I don't know. What if I'm not ready for a relationship yet? I mean sure over the past three months I've slept with a few people here and there but c'mon I mean what if I fuck up?" I asked with tears in my eyes realizing that I just damaged goods.
"You wont know whether you're ready or not until you try Lena. I can't believe I'm really going to say this but…just give it a chance. Give Damon a chance" Bonnie said reassuringly. As we continued talking I thought about how maybe I could give Damon a chance…but maybe just more as friends. Possibly with benefits.
DPOV
As I walked into the grill I saw Mason and Klaus playing pool and walked over to talk to them.
"Hey guys" I said as I took a seat next to the pool table.
"Hey man" They both said.
"Guess who I got a kiss on the cheek from and a date for tomorrow with?" Klaus asked with a huge grin.
"Let me guess, a certain blondie by the name of Caroline?" I asked laughing.
"Yep. Heard that you and Gilbert shared a kiss today. What's with that?" Klaus said.
"How do you know?" I asked.
"Lexi somehow found out and told me, then when I got hear I told him" Mason said while making the winning shot.
"Yeah it was…interesting. She kind of left, crying" I said awkwardly.
"Huh…that bad Salvatore" Mason said jokingly.
"Kat said that she was just overwhelmed so she ran. Her Bonnie, Care, and Lena had an emergency girl meeting apparently and hashed their day out" I told them.
"Looks like your run away girl's here" Mason said pointing towards the entrance of the grill as the four girls sat in a booth.
EPOV
"Oh my god guys" I said hiding my face from across the restaurant, "They're here" I said.
"Who?" Caroline asked.
"Damon, Klaus, and Mason" I said as if stating the obvious. Uhh knowing my sister and my best friends, they were about to make this situation even worse than it is.
"Ohh yay! Now we can bring Delena and Klaroline to a new level" Katherine said as I thought about how awful this night was going to be.
DPOV
"Let's go guys. We've got some girls to talk to" I said as we starting walking across the grill.
"I'm actually heading to Lexi's but I'll see you guys tomorrow" Mason said before leaving the grill. Once we got to the girls table, it was clear that Elena was avoiding me.
EPOV
"Hey ladies, Caroline" I heard Klaus say before sitting next to Caroline. Why do these booths have to fit three people in each side? I thought to my self in frustration. As I looked up Damon was standing there smiling at me.
"Mind if I sit?" He asked sweetly.
"Uhh no" I said before looking to Caroline for help to get out of here.
"So what're you ladies up to for the night?" Damon asked.
"Nothing much," Katherine said, "I'm just meeting Elijah here, they're both free though" she told Klaus and Damon pointing to Care and I as I gave her the death glare.
"And I somehow got pulled in to hanging out with Kol tonight. He told me that if we hang out and I hate it, he'll never bother me again. Which I highly doubt" Bonnie said.
"Yeah whether you hate it or not he's not going to leave you alone. He's been seeking you out for like a year now" Klaus said, "He really likes you, you should give him a shot…and I'm not just saying that because he's family, he really does like you" he told Bonnie.
"She will" Kat said, "Now if you'll excuse us, we both have dates" she said as she and Bonnie walked away.
"Well Lena Klaus and I are uhh gonna get out of here so I'll see you tomorrow. Love ya!" She said pulling Klaus away purposely leaving Damon and I alone. Great, now we have to talk about earlier. Uhh fuck me.
DPOV
"So, you hungry?" I said moving the booth with no one in it.
"Uhh no not really. I ate at Care's earlier" She said awkwardly.
"Look Lena I know that you don't think that this is right but deep down you know that it is and I won't give up until I have you" I said not knowing where that came from.
"Okay" I heard her say. I sat their frozen for a couple of seconds before realizing what she said.
"Wait…okay?" I asked again.
"Yes. But I just…I don't know if I'm ready for a real relationship. Just parts of it…" She said waiting for me to get what she was saying. After a minute I got it. She wanted to be friends with benefits.
"Wait, so you're telling me that you want to be friends with benefits?" I asked in confusions.
"Well yeah…I guess" she said. I want her, I really do.
"Okay. I'll take you any way I can, but I'm not going to give up on having you to myself at some point" I said smiling.
"I didn't think you would" she said smiling back, "so…how about we get out of here" she said as she grabbed her bag, stood up, and held her hand out. Not sure if hand holding was a friends with benefits thing I took it anyway.
"Your place or mine?" I asked as we walked out of the grill with our fingers intertwined.
"Yours…definitely yours" she said buckling in as I drove towards my place.
