A/N: Thank you so much for all who reviewed, read, added alerts, and favorite. The response in the first twenty-four hours have been so overwhelming. Lots of thanks especially to reviewers who gave me the motivation to push through with this!
Just to tell you all, I have most of the plot figured out with every song incorporated in from Maroon 5's album "Hands All Over". So I contemplated on where it would go from here because I have the songs ready for each situation, just how to lead from every part to the other. I guess that's plotting for you. xD
Damon interrupted Stefan's awkward moment of asking Elena out and was able to finally meet the lovely Elena. Though, their first encounter is cut very short, both have left a lasting impact on each other.
Damon didn't bother staying long at the Grill. Stefan working and no pretty girls at the bar meant Damon left to go back to the boarding house early.
Damon had set up part of his studio up in the living room, even though there was plenty of space elsewhere, but the room had the best acoustic sound next to his studio and god knows where the closest studio was near here in Mystic Falls. The studio didn't even consist of much, just a Gibson Hummingbird acoustic guitar, a microphone with a pop filter attached to it, and his laptop. Hey, he wasn't aiming for perfection. He just needed to get the rough version down before going to Hollywood to record with his band.
Damon pulled out a notepad from a desk and scribbled out the rest of the lyrics for "Don't Know Nothing". Once he had those ready, he pulled out his guitar and started recording.
Pushing me over the edge
Can't forget those things you said
Cut to the bone
Go ahead, take your swing
What did you think?
I was just gonna roll over? Oh no
I don't know nothing about that
In fact I don't know nothing at all
I'm tired of proving you right
By doing everything so wrong
Gotta tell me what you really want
'Cause I don't wanna be
Oh, I don't wanna be alone
Once he set his guitar down, Stefan had come through the door in huff. "What's bothering you, baby bro?" Damon smirked before walking himself over the bar again, a place he had immediately become familiar with.
"That's none of your business." Stefan growled at Damon before walking into the kitchen and rummaging through the fridge.
"Oh, this isn't about me interrupting your time with Elena, is it? If it was important, you should have told me ahead of time. If it wasn't, then you're overreacting like a girl on her period." Damon's lips curled up into a smirk before sitting on the couch and setting his feet on top of the coffee table. "D'awh, tell me about her. Does Stefan have a crush on Elena?" Damon said in his best baby voice before taking a sip of his drink.
"Shut up, Damon. Elena's been my best friend since we moved here. Not that you would know." Stefan said before walking into the living room. Letting out a sigh, he leaned against the door frame.
"So forever in the friend zone." Damon turned and shrugged at Stefan. He wouldn't know what that was like. Usually a glance at a girl and their panties were flying off.
"You're an ass." Stefan pushed himself off the frame before making his way up to his room. Damon leaned against the couch. Too bad, he was hoping to find out a bit more about Elena. He'll just have to do his own investigative work.
Three Days Later
"Oh my god. Have you seen the new guy around? Tousled black hair, along with everything he wears, black?" Caroline squealed as she jumped onto Elena's bed before rolling into a ball and rolling around like some hormonal teenage child.
Elena rolled her eyes as she styled her hair, putting it into a form of bun. Straightening out her black dress, she added a few finishing touches for her makeup for turning to face Bonnie who was doing the same. Elena looked over her dress once again in her full length mirror. The hem stopped midway on her thigh, but was long sleeved. To make up for the lack of skin showing on her arms, there was deep v-neck cut that showed off her collarbones as well as some cleavage. Topping it off with strappy black and silver heels, Elena gave herself a nod of approval.
"You mean the guy who walks around like he owns the place? He reeks of bourbon all the time. He seems like an asshole if anything else. And honestly, who wears sunglasses outside and inside." Bonnie quipped before grabbing her clutch and bouncing a seat next to Caroline.
"He actually smells more like sandalwood, but with a touch of bourbon." Elena whispered under her breath before turning around.
"Oh, so you've met this mysterious new man? Why haven't you said anything? Oh my god, I bet you hooked up with him? Was he good? I bet he was good with that sort of body." Caroline started gushing over the details of Damon's body which only earned an eye roll from Bonnie and Elena shook her head. "But no really, spill the details."
Elena shrugged before leaning against the wall, making sure not to wrinkle her dress too much. "I don't know anything at all. His name is Damon and I guess he knows Stefan. We didn't really talk much. But I agree with Bonnie, cocky." She thought back to the moment when Damon's lips brushed over her hand. It still have her goosebumps, thank god for her long sleeve dress. "So are ready for girl's night out or what?" Elena was trying to avoid talking about Damon anymore. The more she thought about it, the more she thought about it. Even at work, she had to shut her laptop closed, afraid of the sort of inappropriate things she would write.
"Girl's night out! Whoo!" Caroline screamed at the top of her lungs before throwing up a fist in the air. The girl was crazy, but loyal. That's Caroline for you.
See, the unfortunate part about Mystic Falls was the lack of clubs. Even though Richmond was about an hour away, they would never make it to the clubs due to the traffic. Everyone just wanted to get to Richmond, away from the middle of nowhere. As a result, the Grill reincarnated itself every Friday and Saturday night as a club, well some sort of club. Whatever, it served drinks, had a dance floor, and DJ. That's all they really needed anyways.
The club was already in full swing by the time the girls had gotten there. They immediately went to "their booth" and ordered shots. "To girl's night!" Caroline screamed for the millionth time tonight. "To girl's night!" Toasted Bonnie and Elena before downing their shot, and ordering one more round.
Across the club was Damon prowling at the bar. He saw the poster at the Grill last week about this "renovation" to become the "Grill Club" every Friday and Saturday night. You know what that means. That gave Damon a perfect opportunity to check out the chicks around Mystic Falls. So far, it didn't fare too well. There were just average girls, and girls that Damon really needed to avoid. He decided to switch it up today with a navy blue button up silk shirt; the top few unbuttoned of course, dark jeans still and loafers. He eyes scanned the dance floor.
His eyes caught a tanned figure with her back turned to him. A black dressed that fit all her curves perfectly, showing off those olive toned legs that went on for miles. Oh yes, he knew that figure too well. He had memorized those curves and implanted it into his mind. It may have been dark, but he knew it was her, Elena. He watched from the bar as she undid her bun and let it down. He licked his lips before standing up and making his way over to the dance floor.
Slipping his hands onto her waist, he pressed his chest against her back before leaning in and whispering into her ear. "You look delectable." Elena was about to turn around and smack the guy for just thinking he could just go and grind on her when she heard that velvety voice. She could have just melted into his body at that moment. Elena quickly spun herself around, and threw an around his neck before giving him a devilish smile. "Sunglasses, still? Really? In a dark club? Your eyes are going to be ruined." She pressed her other hand against his chest as she pressed her hips against his.
"Well, my offer still stands from before." He leaned in once against and breathed in her scent. She was just. He didn't even know how to explain it. "Perhaps I will then."
Her lean fingers trailed up his chest quickly unbuttoned a button. Her skin just brushing his bare skin around his collarbone made his mind go static-y. Before he could even object to anything else, he felt his glasses slip off his face. It took him a while to snap out of this haze created by this Elena. He looked down to see his own sunglasses tucked and hanging out her dress, how he wished he was that pair of sunglasses right now. "Wh-what are yo-. What are you doing?" Was he stuttering? So not Damon Salvatore's stytle.
Those shots were giving Elena that warm buzzing feeling she missed too much. That devilish smile appeared on her lips again before turning her back to Damon and pressing up against him. She needed to create friction between their bodies before she would spontaneously combusted. Ugh, she was supposed to take off those sunglasses so she could finally see his eyes but here she was just rubbing herself against him like some cat in heat.
It had taken Damon awhile to catch up with Elena's train of thought, but once he did, he moved his hips along with Elena's. His hands running up and down her sides, eventually setting on her hips. He could have sworn that was no one else on that dance floor. He leaned even closer to Elena's neck. She could feel every hot breath that he took against her body and she wanted more pressure against his body, more. She tried to meld even more against his body, wrapping an arm behind her and around his neck. His hands moved lower until they settled on her thighs, drawing nonsense patterns on them. Remove the clothes and they were practically doing the dirty on the dance floor.
She was going to lose it. More. She needed more. "Let's get out of here." She muttered as she arched back to tell him. Damon was more than willing to comply with her. She grabbed his hand before going to her booth to grab her clutch, and practically dragging him out of the Grill.
A/N: Ahh, I know I'm bad for stopping it here. xD
Reviews to tell me what you think. They would be much appreciated. Who knows, maybe Damon and Elena will finally hook up… or not.
