I stood standing in front of my mirror nervously tugging at the dress, I was seconds away from deciding not to go until Damon walked in wearing his suit and top hat looking all dapper, "Elena you look great just calm down," he said leaning up against the door frame.
I shook my head, "I don't know about this Damon," I sighed.
Damon stood up straight and walked over to me, "Elena you look amazing and everyone I going to want you at the party," he assured me as he rubbed my arms softly.
I nodded while looking at the ground, "Let me grab my phone and we can head out," I tell him and heads out of my room as I grab my phone and stop in front of the mirror one more time.
I had done a smoky eye in the spirit of Halloween and a dark red lip. I smeared some fake blood on my neck and down my chest and my hair was curled. I'm not a self-conscious person I am more than happy with the way I look it's just that I really don't like parties and I hate Enzo.
I heard Damon yell for me from the bottom of the stairs and before I could chicken out I left my room and headed down the stairs where Damon was waiting for me. "I'll get her home safely!" Damon yelled to my aunt Jenna as we walked out of the house and to his car.
I sat in the car and watched as the trees zoomed by us and it made me feel like we were going a hundred miles an hour. I couldn't even tell if the trees still had leaves or not it was just a blur and gone within seconds. "Damon if I don't like it promise me you'll take me home!" I said turning to him.
Damon nodded, "Of course I promise Elena," he said with a small smile than we continued to the party in silence with nothing but the light hum of the engine.
After about ten to fifteen minutes of driving we finally pulled up to Enzo's house which is huge might I add and there were people everywhere. People were already dry humping against the brick house and vomiting into the bushes.
"See that Elena?" Damon asked as we walked past a boy vomiting into a flower pot, "Never get with someone who can't hold their liquor," he tells me and I shake my head and laugh.
Damon leads me to the entrance of the house and he holds out his arm for me to take, "You ready?" he asks with a grin.
I take a deep breath and nod, "I guess," I tell him and he pushes the door open and almost immediately the music almost busts my eardrum.
Damon leads me in making sure he doesn't lose me in the crowd of horny young adults. "Damon," I hear an all too familiar voice ring from behind.
"Enzo!" Damon greets excitedly as he pulls him into a hug, "Great turn out," he compliments.
"Must be since Elena decided to show up," he said with a sarcastic smile.
So much for not running into Enzo tonight.
"You look dashing Elena, but may I ask what are you?" he asks me.
"I'm Jack and she's the young lady that I just rippered," Damon answered and Enzo nodded.
"Well," he says, "I hope to run into you later Elena, maybe we can dance or get a drink," he winks than roams off.
I let out a laugh when Enzo is gone, "That was disgusting," I say looking up at Damon.
Damon nudges my arm, "He was flirting with you Elena," he tells me and my face scrunches up in disgust, "I told you that dress makes your boobs look amazing!" he laughs.
I roll my eyes playfully at Damon's joke and he leads me farther into the party, "Damon there you are!" Rebekah says walking up to us with a huge smile but her smile fades as her eyes land on me, "Oh I didn't know you and Elena came together?" she said.
Rebekah was dressed as the devil and for some reason that look just really fits her.
I looked over at Damon and quickly shook my head, "Oh no we didn't come together he just drove me here," I said quickly and her smile was back.
"Well in that case can I steal him to dance?" she asks and I gesture her to go ahead.
"Are you sure?" Damon whispers and I nod pushing him to her.
After Rebekah has drug Damon away I started making my way towards the kitchen hoping it was less crowded, and luckily it was.
I grabbed my self a red solo cup and began looking at the drinks, "You look lost," I hear someone say and I look over my shoulder and see Klaus.
I let out a small chuckle, "I'm a beer drinker I know nothing about mixed drinks," I tell him.
Klaus takes my cup from me and begins pouring random liquids into the cup, "Ever heard of the drink sex on the beach Elena?" he asks and I shake my head no. "Well try it," he smiles.
I very hesitantly lift the cup to my mouth and breathe in the smell and it smells delightful so I decide to tip my head back and take a gulp and to my surprise it was amazing. "Oh my god that's amazing," I gush and Klaus nods proudly.
"Elena?" I hear someone ask behind me, "Elena is that you?" Caroline asks coming into view. Klaus instantly smiles.
Caroline was dressed as an angel with the wings and everything, "Elena why didn't you tell me you were coming?" she asks.
I shrug, "I didn't even know I was going to come," I tell her taking another drink.
"Well you look super hot in that dress," she compliments.
"Well you look beautiful in your costume Caroline," Klaus says with a smile.
Caroline rolls her eyes, "And what are you supposed to be?" she asks turning her attention to Klaus.
Klaus smiles, "I'm a mob boss," he says gesturing to his costume.
Caroline and Klaus kept bickering so I just snuck away but not before grabbing another one of these drinks. I was now wondering around aimlessly with two drinks in my hand looking for something to do.
"Oh Bonnie!" I yell making my way towards her and Jeremy whom I didn't even know was going to be here. "Jeremy why are you here?" I ask.
Jeremy smirks, "Well why are you here Elena?" he asks.
I point a finger at him and smile, "Touché"
"Seriously though Elena you hate Enzo," Bonnie says.
I smiled and shrugged, "But I don't hate Damon," I tell her and she nods now understanding that he coaxed me into coming tonight.
"Are you having fun?" She asks and I nod my head.
"It isn't as bad as I thought plus these drinks are amazing," I tell her and both she and Jeremy laugh. "I'm going to go, you two have fun," I say before walking back to the kitchen where Stefan was now standing with Caroline and Matt and Tyler were with Klaus, "Klaus I drank both drinks," I tell him.
"What are you giving her?" Matt asks following Klaus over to the drinks.
"Sex on the beach," he tells Matt and Matt nods. "How about some water Elena?" he asks.
I roll my eyes, this is why we broke up he was so over protective and he hovered and I had to end it, "Matt I'm fine," I tell him and she just sighs in disbelief.
"How about a Margarita for the lady?" Tyler suggests and I shake my head.
I once tried one because Aunt Jenna let me have a sip and I hated it, "I'm not a margarita girl Tyler," I tell him.
"Boys how about we give the girl something that'll make her toes curl," Enzo suggests walking into the kitchen.
"I like that idea," I said pointing to Enzo," I don't like you but I like that idea,"
"Let's pour some tequila shots boys," Enzo yells and we all cheer.
"Absolutely not," I heard Damon say from behind me. "Are you boys trying to kill her?" he asks finally coming into view.
As he argues with the boys I allow myself to take in his appearance. Honestly I would be lying if I said I've never thought about kissing Damon or just ripping his clothes off because I have it's just the power of our friendship always seems to be stronger. Damon is very good looking any straight girl and gay guy would agree with me I just never allow myself to look at him that way.
"Elena what do you want to do?" Tyler asks ignoring Damon's threat.
I looked over at Damon then back to Tyler biting my lip, "Let's do some shots!" I yell and the guys cheer with me except for Damon. "Come on Damon I'm having fun," I tell him with a nudge and he smiles and gives in.
The first shot burned like hell, the second shot made me cough just a little, the third shot went down easier, and the fourth shot felt like water.
"Elena!" Damon yells as he catches me from falling to the ground, "Elena you're drunk," he laughs.
I cover my mouth because I can't control my laughter, "We're both drunk Damon!" I cackle. Damon nods in agreement, "Hey let's go dance," I suggest as I pull him to the dance floor.
When we get with the crowd of people dancing I wrap my arm around Damon's neck and he pulls my his close to his and I can feel my chest heating up. Damon is a very good dancer even when he's drunk he is so good he is making me look good because he's guiding my hips to the beat.
I look at Damon and bite down on my lips. God I want to kiss him; I want to kiss him more than anything else right now. "Elena," Damon says leaning his lips close to my ear.
"Yeah?" I ask breathlessly.
"I'm about to do something incredibly stupid and I need you to tell me to not do it," he says and leans back up. We aren't dancing anymore we're just standing, staring at each other. I looked down at his perfect lips than back up into his eyes and my heart was beating like crazy, and oh my god I wanted to kiss him.
"Do it."
After those to words escaped my mouth Damon's lips were on mine in less than a second and it felt like I just melted into him. I've been waiting for this for so long but I have been so afraid. I grabbed a fistful of Damon's hair as his lips moved down my jawline and to my neck.
"Damon," I moan softly and he lifts his head.
"We should go upstairs," he suggests.
I nodded my head, "Yeah we should go upstairs," I say agreeing with him.
Once we found an empty room Damon backed me up against the door and kissed my lips hungrily. The way his hands roamed my body made me ache for more. "Damon my dress take it off," I said against his lips.
I turned around and he softly undone the corset and he slowly let the dress fall of my shoulders and he kissed down my back making me shiver with anticipation. Finally, the dress fell to the floor and I quickly turned back around to kiss him again. I knocked his hat off of his head and tore his jacket off. Damon lifted me off the ground and carried me over to the bed. He sat above me and tore his shirt off revealing his amazing body and he leaned back down and his lips were on mine once again.
The rest of that night was history….
