A/N: I know what I write isn't much at a time but I don't want to keep ya'll waiting anymore so as I write ill post. Please review!

Elena's POV

The sky was hazy and the wind lightly tossed my brown hair around my face as I left the SUV and walked into the Mystic Grill. I looked at the sky before I entered the front door and noticed the billowing black clouds on the horizon. A storm was on the way..

I looked around and found Bonnie and Caroline over by the pool tables holding their pool sticks and drinking their drinks proudly. Bonnie waved me over and I walked down the steps towards them. Caroline smiled and gave me a big hug. I missed them so much, since we had graduated from Mystic Falls High School it was like I never saw them anymore.

"Are you okay after your wreck last week, Elena?" asked Bonnie worriedly looking at my bruised arms. "I am fine Bonnie. The cut on my forehead has almost healed and my bruises are nearly healed. What isn't okay is my car.." I said putting down my purse on the pool table. "No! Your poor car, I loved that car. I am sorry." said Caroline.

"Yeah, it was totaled. Aunt Jenna almost had a fit when she found out. She now has to spend more money on a new car. I am surprised she isn't making me buy it." I sighed. "Who helped you out after the wreck happened?" asked Caroline taking another sip of her drink.

"His name is Damon Salvatore! He is absolutely perfect. I am almost glad I got in the wreck because I would have never met him otherwise." I grinned. My heart leapt at the thought of him the other night.

"What does this Damon Salvatore look like?" asked Bonnie wanting to get more details.

I felt the urge to look up at the door and there at the entrance was Damon himself. I immediately became giddy with happiness knowing that once again I could see his face. I waved him over to the pool tables as his eyes hit mine. "It's your lucky day, girls. He is here and he is coming to see me. "I whispered.

They turned around in the direction I was looking and Bonnie almost had a come apart.

"Oh My God. Elena, you are the luckiest girl ever! He is absolutely gorgeous." She said leaning against the pool table for support. "Yeah, I am lucky aren't I?" I said winking.

I turned around to Caroline and tried to act cool so that I wouldn't just jump into his arms when he got there.

"Why, hello there ladies. Beautiful day isn't it." He said as thunder rumbled in the distance. I laughed.

He took my hand and kissed it. My heart thudded violently in my chest. I knew he could hear it but there was nothing I could do. "Hey, Damon, these are my best friends. Bonnie and Caroline." I said pointing to both as I said their names. "Nice to finally meet both of ya'll."he said smiling showing his white teeth.

"Oh, same here. Elena was just ta.." Caroline stopped talking as I elbowed her to be quiet. She gave me a wondering look and went off to finish her game of pool with Bonnie.

"Sorry about them. They can be rather..Crazy sometimes. Gotta love them. " I said trying not to blush. "Eh, it's okay. We all have crazy friends." He said waving it off. "Do you want a drink?" he added as we walked toward the bar. "Sure I would love one." I said. "Please, a drink for the pretty lady." Damon said to the bartender. Soon we were both drinking our drinks and talking about things happening around the town.

Damon's POV

I was suffering from something I had not had to deal with since Katherine. Nervousness! What was with this girl making me not know what to say? It showed weakness and I didn't like to seem weak. I was a vampire for God's Sake.

Finally, I got up the courage to do what I came to do.

"Elena? Would you like to go out and do something with me soon?"

Wow. How many girls had I easily said this to? And with Elena it was like pulling teeth. I waited for her answer holding my breath. I looked down at her face for a hint. She was grinning from ear to ear. And let out the breath that I had been holding in.

"Damon, I would love to go out with you." she replied taking my hand. "When though?"

"Hmm. How about to tonight? Are you free?" I questioned.

"Yes. I am free. Aunt Jenna is going to go out to eat with an old friend, and Jeremy is going to be here with Anna so I would be stuck at home alone." she said sadly.

"Well, no more worries. Damon is here to save you. I'll come by around 6:30." I said winking.

"What are we going to be doing?" she wondered.

"Now, that is a surprise and you will have to find out later. Just wear something nice." I said with a smile.

"Sounds like a date. I will see you later tonight." she whispered into my ear. She squeezed my hand before letting go.

I watched her walk back over to her friends and say something to them but I got up to leave and blocked out what she said. I didn't want to be creepy and overprotective like some vampires I had met when I was traveling in the Northwest.

She likes me. She likes me. She likes me. He repeated over and over in his mind.

I walked out to my black Corvette convertible and hopped over into the driver's seat. I had never been this happy in my whole existence!

Elena's POV

I felt as though I were about to burst out with a million different emotions at one time. There were no words to exactly express what I was feeling at this moment in time. I walked slowly back over to Bonnie and Caroline who were still playing the same game of pool. It looked as though Caroline was winning by 2. I immediately told them of every little detail that had happened while I was talking to Damon. I relaxed as I felt Damon's presence leave the building; somehow I could tell he was gone.

"You have a date with that hunk tonight? You have no idea how jealous I Am of you right now." said Bonnie.

"He wouldn't tell me what we were going to be doing. He said it was a surprise but to dress nice." I said confused.

"OOO! Maybe he is going to take you dancing!" said Caroline grinning.

"I don't want to know where he is going to take me. I want it to be a surprise. So don't give me ideas!" I replied. "Anyways, I am so sorry girls but I must be going already. Can we hang out in like a few days or something?"

"Yeah, Elena, we TOTALLY understand. We hope you have fun tonight and tell us all the juicy details when we see you next!" said Bonnie hugging me goodbye.

"Oh, I will. I love ya'll!" I said waving goodbye as I walked out to my SUV.

I was like in love. I was..TWITTERPATED! You know like the owl explains on Bambi! 'I was just minding my own business. Not looking for anyone when all of a sudden I run smack into a pretty face.' It's just like Owl said.. hahah. Literally I ran smack into a pretty face. Oh the irony.

I sat in my car pretty much in shock of the insane turn of events recently. I took a deep breath turned up the radio and drove off toward home to get ready for my amazing date scheduled for tonight.
