Hey there Damon lovers, and if you're not a Damon lover get out (just kidding, I fully respect all Stefan lovers, I just think that they are either insane, deluded of both :-P )

How have you been?

Well I have finished my exams, I've probably failed them aswell.

I would say that this means I have more time to write, but I will probably be bombarded with course work soon so no promises.

So one reviewer said they would have prefered Stefan to be jealous, it's not to late for me to work that in but I'm not sure I should. I am not very confident with my writing of this emotion so if I may ask the small request that you read chapter two of my other VD fic 'Love Hate Relationship' You don't have to read the whole story and you don't have to like it, but I have writen Damon as being jealous of Stefan there, so if you could read that and then tell me if you want me to write in Stefan being jealous. thanks and I have no idea while I wrote parts of this paragraph so formally.

Okay so this chapter starts off with very little Delena but please, I beg of you read to the end.

You never know, some thing long awaited may happen...

Anna POV

I walked home. It felt both strange and really good to be able to call a place home, but I could now. Stefan was out so I just sat on the sofa and watched TV, trying not to worry about Elena.

An hour or so later I heard Stefan come in.

"Damon? Anna?" he called.

"I'm in here," I shouted back.

"Hey, where's Damon?"

"Off somewhere comforting Elena," I replied simply, not knowing how Stefan would react.

"Oh," was all he said as he went and sat in an arm chair. Then realisation crossed his face, "Wait. Comforting her? What happened?" he demanded.

"Well..." I started awkwardly, "I kind of messed up," I admitted.

"Explain," Stefan demanded.

"Well I was out at lunch time, just walking and I saw Bonnie outside the Grill."

"Oh God," was Stefan's response. He put a hand to his forehead and motioned for me to continue with the other.

"She saw me and freaked out there and then. I ran into the Grill, Elena was there, talking to Damon. I told her what had happened. She asked that me and Damon get out of sight, I did, Damon didn't-"

"Obviously," Stefan interrupted.

"Yeah, so Elena tried to talk to Bonnie, but when the little witch heard that Elena trusted me she went off about me and Damon killing her Grams. Elena defended us so Bonnie said that she would never help us when we need a witch, not if, when and that she blamed us and Elena for her Gram's death. Then she stormed out and left Elena there. Elena started crying and Damon took her out side. He was hugging her and gave me the go home signal. So here I am." When I said about Damon hugging Elena I saw something cross Stefan's face. Jealousy? He seemed so over Elena the day before.

"Okay, well we can't do anything until they come back. So don't worry about it now," he decided. "Have you fed?"

"Yeah. I want to go give Bonnie a piece of my mind." I informed him.

"Anna," he warned. "Don't. It will only make things worse."

"You don't know that," I shot back but stayed in my seat.

Stefan shook his head and changed the subject, "Do you want anything to eat?"

"Cheese sandwich," I replied. He nodded and left the room.

Elena POV

Damon and I ate burgers and continued asking random questions. Just getting to know each other better. I was comfortable with him and was well on my way to forgetting everything that had happened with Bonnie. When we had eaten we went back to the car.

"So what do you want to do?" Damon asked, leaning against the driver's door. "I can take you home, or back to mine or we can keep going."

"You can take me home? Am I not allowed to drive my own car now?" I asked.

"Nope," Damon answered with a smirk.

I rolled my eye and looked at my watch. I was shocked to see it was nearly nine o'clock. How far had we driven? I took out my cell and dialled my home number. There was no answer, I knew Jenna was out with Alaric and Jeremy probably had his headphones on so I left a message.

"Hey Jenna, Jeremy. I got talking with Anna, Damon and Stefan and totally lost track of time so I'm gonna crash here tonight. I'll see you tomorrow, bye."

Damon was watching me curiously, "I never invited you to stay the night. Assuming is very rude of you," he mock scolded earning another eye roll. "You know, if you keep rolling your eyes like that you're not gonna be able to stop them going."

"Well maybe you should stop making me roll my eyes," I shot back. "I never said you did invite me to spend the night at yours. I simply told my family that I would be." I corrected him. "If we go back now I won't get any sleep before school tomorrow. So let's say I need to be back by 3:30 tomorrow so me and Anna can go shopping. I don't want to go home tonight."

"Little Miss Elena, Righteous Gilbert skipping school?" Damon feigned shock. "I'm a bad influence on you." He said as he lead me around the car and opened my door.

"Who said it was your influence?" I asked, this time I was the one smirking and he rolled his eyes.

Damon climbed into the driver's seat and looked at me, "So where do you want to go?" he asked.

"I don't care. Just drive," I told him.

"You're letting me choose?" he asked in a dangerous tone.

I smiled as I leaned back in my seat and turned my head to face him, "If I didn't trust you so much that might have scared me."

Damon leaned towards me and smiled, "You're tired Elena," he pulled the lever and declined my seat. "Get some sleep." He kissed my forehead before sitting straight and starting the car.

Jeremy POV

I walked out of my bedroom in search of dinner. It was half nine and strangely Elena hadn't even asked what I wanted yet. Jenna was out with Alaric again so it was my turn to choose dinner.

I went to my sister's room and was surprised when I found it empty.

"Elena?" I called through the house. I went to the stares and saw the red light flashing on the hall answer machine. I went down and pressed the button.

" You have one new message," beep. "Hey Jenna, Jeremy. I got talking with Anna, Damon and Stefan and totally lost track of time so I'm gonna crash here tonight. I'll see you tomorrow, bye."

I sighed and picked up the phone to order take out.

Once I had eaten I put a movie on and chilled. Half way through the doorbell rang. Wondering who was visiting at 10:15pm, I went to answer it.

"Hey, Bonnie. What brings you here at this time?" I asked surprised.

"Hi Jeremy. I need to talk to Elena, is she here?" she asked quickly. I saw that her eyes were red, like she'd been crying, and she kept fidgeting with her hands, like she was nervous.

"No, she spent the afternoon with the Salvatores and lost track of time. She called to say she was staying there tonight."

"Oh, right. It'll just have to wait till tomorrow then. Thanks Jer. Bye," she turned and started walking back to her car.

"Hey Bonnie," I called after her. She turned back. "You look upset. Is everything okay?"

She forced a smile and told me everything was fine before getting into her car and driving away.

Anna POV

Stefan and I were watching a film called Constantine when we heard a car coming up the gravel track which leads only to the house.

"Damon and Elena must be back," Stefan said.

"It's nearly half ten Stefan, Damon would have taken Elena home and ran back here," I told him in a duh tone. "Who else would come here?"

Stefan's eye brows knitted together as he thought. When the bell rang he went to answer sending me the 'stay-there-and-don't-cause-trouble' look, which made me think he knew exactly who was at the door.

"Bonnie, hi." I heard him say and I tensed. I really wanted to give that girl a piece of my mind. "What brings you here?"

"Jeremy said that Elena was staying here tonight. Can I talk to her?" the witch requested.

"She just went with Damon to rent a movie-" before he could continue I went to the hall.

"Don't lie to the girl Stefan," I said casually as I came into Bonnie's line of sight.

"Anna," Stefan warned me but I ignored him.

Bonnie's eyes hardened as did my voice, "She should know."

"I should know what Stefan?"

"You should know what you've done."

"What I've done?"

"Yeah. I get that you don't like me Bonnie and you have every reason not to trust me. I'm fine with all of that. But I am not fine with what you said to Elena. It's her choice to trust me, I never asked her to and I never expected it. When you left earlier you left Elena in tears. She was sobbing because her best friend decided to blame everything on her just because you disagreed with her. And she felt guilty. Do you know what the guilt of causing a person's death is like?" I asked rhetorically. I kept my distance from her because I knew Stefan would stop me if I got in her face. "I do. It's not a good thing. It's the worst feeling anyone could ever have. The difference between me and Elena is that I made the choice to kill somebody, I did cause their death and I deserve the guilt. Elena didn't do anything wrong, she isn't responsible and she doesn't deserve it.

"So Elena was standing in the street sobbing into Damon's shirt like she had just lost one of the most important things in her life."

"Anna that's enough!" Stefan told me firmly. "Go back and watch the movie," he ordered. I sat on the stairs and stayed silent. Stefan stared at me for a moment but realised that I wasn't going to move. He sighed and turned back to the witch. "Elena's not here Bonnie. Damon went to calm her down and they haven't come back yet. If she called home and said she was staying here then they are either on their way here and Elena's still upset so doesn't want to go home, or they are staying out all night. When I see her I'll tell her you're looking okay?"

Bonnie nodded and turned to leave.

In a flash I was at the door, "Bonnie?" she turned. "I'm not gonna say sorry for kidnapping you, because back then my mind was set on getting my mom. You were just a means to an end, I know you probably don't like that but I'm not going to lie. I am sorry about your Grandmother though. I never wanted anyone to die."

Bonnie didn't say anything but nodded a little before going back to her car.

Stefan shut the door and gave me a hard stare.

"Don't look at me like that Stefan," was all I said before returning to the couch.

Damon POV

Elena quickly fell asleep and I couldn't seem to tear my eyes away from her. I tried to focus on the road but after about 30 second I would always end up looking at her. I sighed and pulled in to a motel that I was passing.

Gently taking Elena from the car I went and paid for a room so that she could sleep more comfortably.

I left her sleeping on the bed while I went out to feed; I knew that I was pushing it, spending so much time with Elena when I hadn't fed since yesterday morning. When I returned I lay beside Elena and watched her sleep once more.

Maybe Anna was right, I did have feelings for Elena. I don't know when they had developed or why, they just had. And I don't want them to go away. But what if Elena doesn't feel the same? Sure Anna said she did, but Anna doesn't know Elena very well. And what about Stefan? I'd never admit it but I've liked these past few months when we'd been getting on. I enjoyed not fighting and I hoped that, maybe, we could be as close as we were when we were human, but if Stefan's not over Elena, and something happens between us there would be no chance of that, we might even go back to hating each other.

I sighed heavily and went to get up, but as I moved Elena stirred. I looked down to see her open her eyes.

"You were supposed to be sleeping," I told her softly.

"Well maybe you shouldn't have woken me up then," was her quick, sleepy reply.

I propped myself up on my elbow and smirked down at her, "You used to be a deeper sleeper," I stated, just to see her reaction.

I wasn't disappointed when Elena snapped her head round to me and glared, all traces of sleep gone from her eyes.

"What?" she asked in a hard, accusatory voice.

My smirk grew and I lay flat on my back to stare at the ceiling. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Elena adopt my previous position so she could see my expression (which remained the smirk that she adored) and I closed my eyes.

"Damon!" she demanded. I was fighting the urge to open my eyes and look at her, to refrain myself I imagined what her expression was like: her big eyes hardened and narrowed with anger. Her lips pursed tightly to hold back her shouting at me to explain. I couldn't fight it any longer, I opened my eyes and saw the exact same image, except she looked so much cuter. A few seconds later I raised an eyebrow and the corner of Elena's mouth twitched as she tried not to smile. I loved having such an effect on her without even saying anything.

"How would you know if I was a deep sleeper Damon?" she demanded once again, less forceful this time.

"Because you never wake up when I come visiting," I stated simply. I could practically see her blood boiling at my revelation.

"You sneak into my room at night?!?" I only smirked in reply. "What have you done?"

That confused me. I just told her that I've been in her room while she's asleep so what did she mean? "Care to explain that question, Elena?"

"You wouldn't just decide to 'visit' for no apparent reason Damon. Did you snoop through my stuff? Did you read my Diary?!!?" She accused now leaning over me so all I could see was her face.

I chuckled, "No Elena. Though the Diary was very tempting," I admitted.

"Then why?" she asked, calmer now. The chocolate waterfall of her hair fell from behind her shoulder to my face.

I reached up and cupped Elena's smooth cheek in my hand, "I don't know. I was bored and I just felt drawn to your window."

"That's kind or stalkerish," she informed me with a small smile. I chuckled again.

I was getting that feeling again. The magnetism, drawing me to her. The longing to press my lips to her's. I reminded myself that I shouldn't, that it would risk Elena's friendship and my relationship with my brother. But Anna's words came back to me then: Since when does the bad boy, Damon Salvatore play it safe? For a little girl she knew a lot and I couldn't fight any longer.

I pulled myself up and captured Elena's lips in a soft kiss.

So, how did I do?

Tell me what you think.

I'm thinking of doing a one shot of what could happen straight after Fool Me Once. Does anyone have any ideas for what the story could be? Conditions:

-It must be Delena.

-I don't want it to be centred around the escaped vampire.

Let me know any ideas.

And remember to tell me your opinion on the jealousy think.

Happy Reading.
