Ch 3
The next morning Elena woke up to a pair of big blue eyes staring at her, inches away from her face.
"Ahhh" she screamed startled. The little boy backed up suddenly and almost fell off of the bed but Elena quickly caught him.
He started laughing hysterically and Elena wondered if he was alright in the head. She started spinning a crazy theory that maybe Damon was dropped on his head as a baby and that was why he is so weird.
She was lost in her own thoughts until Damon stopped laughing and looked up at her. "Elena I'm hungry, can we please get some food?" he said in such a cute little kid voice as if begging her to have mercy on him and give him some food.
Elena smiled, "of course we can get some food." Damon gleefully jumped up off of the bed and ran downstairs to the kitchen. Elena looked at the clock on the bedside table and saw that it was 7. She sighed. Why do little kids get up so early? She got up and slowly followed Damon's path through the house towards the kitchen.
She saw him sitting as patiently as a three year old could wait. She noticed that he was still wearing just one of his shirts as a nightgown and remembered that she had to call Caroline to take him clothes shopping. "Hey Damon, What do you want for breakfast?"
He looked at her in shock. "You mean I get to choose what we eat all by myself?" Elena chuckled at that. She realized that the rules must be very different now a days then he is use to. "Of course you can". He beamed. "Can we please have toast and overeasy eggs?" "Sure and because you were so polite I will throw in a glass of orange juice too. How does that sound?"
He looked at her as if this was the best day of his life. "Great!" Elena made his breakfast very easily with Damon watching her every move. She gave him his breakfast and he dug right in.
After a few bites he stopped scarfing down his food. "This is better then anything the help makes" he told her. "Thank you" she responded smiling. "Just don't eat it too fast." Elena got up from the table and got the phone, dialing Caroline's number. She answered on the third ring.
"Hello this is Caroline speaking. If you don't have something extremely important to say then I am going to kill you for waking me up at this god awful hour. Oh shit Elena forgot that it was only seven on a saturday morning.
"Hey Caroline it's Elena." "Oh hey Elena" Caroline said much cheerfuller making Elena sigh in relief that she was not mad at her. "Caroline I need your help. It's an emergency."
"What kind of emergency?" Caroline asked deadly serious. Elena gulped, "A shopping emergency."
There was silence on the other end for a few seconds.
"I'll be right over."
