Jeremy quickly finished up the rest of the dirty dishes if he was fast enough he could go eat with Damon. "Jeremy Elena's here!" Matt yelled

Jeremy groaned he forgot that he told Elena to meet him at The Grill. He walked out from the back to see Elena leaning against the bar. "Oh hey Jer are you ready to go?"

Jeremy nodded throwing off his apron. "Yeah, but let's go get some pizza first okay?"

Elena nodded. "Sure, do you want to drive?"

"Nah you can drive." Jeremy followed Elena out of the bar yelling goodbye to Matt. He pulled out his phone and texted Damon.

Day: Wht pizza place r u at?

Baby: 1 by the hs.

Day: 'K b there in a few of mins.

Jeremy jumped into Elena's car. "Head over to the pizza place by the school."

"Okay."

Baby: Awesome! I'll order u something. Wht do u want?

Day: Large pepperoni & olives, pls.

Baby: U got it!

Jeremy sighed happily his boyfriend was the best. Elena parked in a parking spot that took them forever to find. "It's busy today. I wonder why?" She questioned.

Jeremy didn't answer he just ran off heading into the pizza place and looking around for Damon. "Jer!" Jeremy looked over seeing Damon waving him over. He quickly ran over throwing his arms over Damon's shoulders and pulling him into a kiss.

"Really Jeremy?" Elena asked while sitting down next to Stefan and giving him a kiss.

Jeremy pulled away from Damon but pecked his lips twice before turning to Elena. "What I deserve to see my boyfriend after work." Damon sat down and pulled Jeremy onto his lap.

"But we have to go shopping."

"I know and we will after we eat." As soon as Jeremy said that a waitress brought out their pizza.

"What would you like to drink?" She asked looking at Elena and Jeremy.

"Dr. Pepper." They said at the same time. The waitress nodded leaving to get their drinks.

"So why is it so full in here today?" Elena asked eating some pizza.

"We had a baseball game and we won." Stefan answered.

Jeremy was scarfing down pizza. "Slow down baby." Damon said.

"Hey, I have not eaten all day." Jeremy said even though he slowed down his eating.

"Why didn't you eat at work?" Damon asked pulling Jeremy closer.

"I didn't want to eat burgers again." He stated.

They had all just finished eating. "Come on Jeremy lets go." Elena said rising.

Jeremy sighed he didn't really want to go shopping with Elena he just wanted to be with Damon. "Do I have to Elena? I just want to spend the rest of the day with Damon." He said pouting at Elena.

"Jer, we have to do this you need to pick out a present and so do I." She said walking toward the exit.

Jeremy groaned but he knew he had to follow her or she would be mad. He got up and kissed Damon goodbye. "I'll see you at my house later."

"Of course." Damon kissed him once more before releasing him.

"I hate you." Jeremy said as he got into Elena's car.

"I know but you would hate me more if you didn't have a present to give to Damon."

Jeremy couldn't argue with that he would be upset if he didn't have anything to give to Damon. "Your right, but if you start returning stuff I'm calling Damon to pick me up."

"Deal."


They had gone through multiple stores in the mall but neither of them could find anything to give to their lovers. Jeremy was getting agitated he hated that there was pretty much nothing in the store that Damon didn't already have or didn't seem special enough to give to him. They were in Apple store at the moment Elena had decided to get Stefan the newest IPod since he had a lame mp3 player still "Elena I'm going to go look around. Text me when you're done."

"Good luck." Elena said as she waited for someone to come and help her.

Jeremy looked around going into every store and seeing if anything caught his eye. "Ugh I hate this." He whispered to himself.

"Talking to yourself not a good sign Jeremy." Jeremy jumped turning to glare at Caroline. "Aw did I scare you?"

"No just startled me. What are you doing here Caroline?"

"I should be asking you that questioned considering the fact that you're inside Victoria Secret." She said raising an eyebrow.

"What?" Jeremy looked around and he was fact in Victoria Secret. "Oh I didn't even realize."

Caroline smiled. "What are you doing anyway?"

"I'm looking for a gift for Damon."

"What about you?"

"I got a gift for Tyler. Look." She showed him the bag.

Jeremy looked into the bag confused. "You got him lingerie. Yeah I didn't need to know that."

"No stupid, I'm going to wear this for Tyler. I'm his present." She rolled her eyes.

"Yeah I definitely didn't need to know that." He said disgusted.

"Have you figured out what you're going to get Damon?"

"No, nothing seems special and something's he already has."

"We'll I have an idea." She said a small evil smile playing on her lips.

"Oh no."

"Oh yes." She grabbed him and took him deeper into the store.

Jeremy hated he couldn't believe what she had made him. He knew he wouldn't be able to wear. "Jer come on he'll love it."

"It's embarrassing Caroline." He even had to make her hold the bag because he couldn't be seen with it.

"Come on I need to pick up something from that jewelry store." She said pulling him along.

"What do you need to pick up from here?"

"I got me, Bonnie and Elena friendship rings."

Jeremy nodded and looked around. "Hello dear, is there anything I can help you with?" An elderly woman asked.

"Oh...uh no just looking." Jeremy said nervously.

"Anything in particular that you want?"

Jeremy looked down at the men's rings when he saw a silver ring with an onyx stone on it and there looked like there was something inside of it. "What's inside that ring?" He said pointing at the ring.

"Oh." She said unlocking the back and pulling out the ring. "There is a rose inside it see."

Jeremy lifted up the ring and saw that there was a rose in it. "That's awesome."

"Yes, it's the last one sadly."

"There were more."

"Yes, but they were in different colored stones, and with different colored roses inside them I just sold one two days ago it had a ruby with a white rose in it. Then yesterday I sold the emerald one with a black rose in it."

Jeremy looked at the ring this would be perfect for Damon. "How much is it?"

"Nine hundred and ninety nine dollars."

"I'll take it."

She smiled. "Very well. Come with me."

Jeremy was so happy when he left the store Caroline with him. They caught up with Elena and then went to eat before heading home.
