Elena's POV
The sun poured through the closed windows and effectively casting a stray of light upon my face. I stretch my stiff muscles and moan at the sensation of sleeping comfortably for hours. My eyes flutter open revealing chocolate brown eyes and I stare up at the white ceiling. A sigh of content escapes my lips and I jump out of bed.
I happily proceed my morning routine getting ready for another day at school. Unfortunately I had to go to school for a full eight hours instead five hours as yesterday. To be honest I never really understood college schedules.
For example, one day you get to leave school at one o'clock and the next day four o'clock. I mean what's the point. I shrug my shoulders and realize that I had finished getting dressing while thinking. I happily skip down stairs with my bag and I'm greeted with Aunt Jenna in the kitchen.
"Such a beautiful morning, isn't it?" I say cheerfully and grab an apple. "What's got you in such a handy dandy mood?" Jenna asks with a raised eyebrow.
"No reason in particular." I grin and chomp down on my apple. I head thud after thud coming down the stairs and see Jeremy ready for school and his backpack on his shoulder.
"Got to go." He declares and rushes out of the door. "What's wrong with the kid? Do you think he's still upset about... You know what?" Aunt Jenna asks worriedly and looks at me.
"Of course he's going to be upset. I'm upset. We're always going to be upset, Aunt Jenna. I think he's dealing okay. You don't have to worry all the time." I assure her. "Okay. On a happier note... I'm going on a date." She smiles and I smile back. This was good for her. She deserved to have fun and go on a date.
She was young and had to take care of Jeremy and I when our parents died meaning that she had lost a sister. Aunt Jenna was a roller coaster of fun and nothing could have tied her down. That was until the tragic news of her only sister dying and the heavy news of taking care of two teenagers.
She had to do things she probably wouldn't have done until years from now and I'm proud of her. "That's fantastic! Who's the lucky guy?" I tease and she rolls her eyes. "His name is Ric and I'm sure he's a very lucky man to get some of this." She says and poses to show off her body.
"I'm sure as well. Have fun and don't do anything I wouldn't do." I shout behind me as I make my way out the door. I laugh as I hear her yell something inaudible. I notice that Jeremy walked to school instead of driving to school with me.
Really Jeremy? I think to myself as I get in the car and drive to the college campus. As my car pulls up at the parking lot, I get out of my car and close the door. With my bag on my shoulder, I make my way inside and see Caroline and Bonnie in their respective place waiting for me.
"Hey, why are you so late?" Caroline asks and Bonnie looks at me expectedly. "I was just talking to Jenna. She has a date." I say. "Aww." Caroline exclaims and I shake my head and smile at her antics. I looked at the time and found out it was time to go to class.
I wave goodbye to Bonnie and Caroline and go to class. I sat my way though all of my classes and the one I hated the most was last. Physical Education. You HAD to take a P.E class.
You had to choose a specific sporty class and I absolutely hated it. I have horrible hand-eye coordination when I'm put under pressure. Just the thought of having to run around with a ball or hit an object makes me clumsy.
I'm not necessarily bad at sports because I'm pretty good at it, but if you were told do this and that by a cantankerous man... You would want to shoot yourself.
I think everybody would agree with me that is not a nice man. I reluctantly walked to the P.E building and saw that Bonnie and Caroline had to go through the same torture.
"Lets get dressed quickly. Mr. Steve is in a bad mood today." Bonnie ushers. "When is he not in a bad mood?" Caroline says snippily, but not as a question. I groan and we make it to the girls locker room. We change out quickly and sit in the stands waiting for Mr. Steve.
"Okay! Listen up! I want all of you to do fifty push-ups." Mr. Steve yells and all of groan and curse under our breath. Seeing that the people on the gym weren't doing anything Mr. Steve yelled, "Now!" Everybody scurries down to the floor and into a push up position. Now you see what I have to deal with.
Fifty push-ups later I'm surprisingly not out of breath. As I jump up off the floor with a smile on my face and a new found energy I look to my right. Caroline and Bonnie are panting and dripping with sweat. My nose scrunches in their appearance and exhausted faces. "
You guys don't look so good." I state the obvious and they look at me annoyed. "Why aren't you sweating like a pig?" Caroline pouts and wipes the sweat on top of her eyebrow with her elbow. I shrug and await for other people to finish.
Just when the last person finishes Mr. Steve claps his hands together. "Now go do your physical activity you had chosen in the beginning of the year! If I see you doing nothing then there will be consequences! Now go!" Mr Steve yells and we get situated. Bonnie, Caroline, and I had chosen volleyball so we could be together and fight though P.E as joined forces.
We walk to the volleyball net and join the other girls. "I hate this class!" Said Caroline as she examines her nails. "Yeah well tough luck." Bonnie says. "I mean why do we even have to do this? This totally busts my nails." Caroline argues and they fall into a conversation.
I catch myself thinking about yesterday's date with Damon. It was just like old times. Talking, laughing, and just plain having fun. I feel a smile tug on my lips and I look to the ground to hide my grin. I failed miserably because Caroline notices. That girl has a sharp eye.
"Why are you so smiley?" She questions and my cheeks redden. I decide to tell her about my date with Damon because sooner or later she would find out. Most likely sooner than later. "I went on a date." I blush.
"With who?"
"Elena Gilbert, did you lose the v-card!"
"Caroline!"
"I was just asking Bonnie, sheesh. She has to at some point. She's not a prude. Are you?
"Really Caroline?"
"Who said I was a virgin?" I ask hoping she would believe my lie. "Come on. We all know you're a virgin. Remember you told us?" She asked and she was right.
I had told them. Don't get me wrong I don't exactly feel as though I should have sex after marriage. I just want to do with a person that I truly love and when its the right time, then its the right time.
"Still you don't have to scream it out to the whole world." I say annoyed. "Whatever. Just tell us what happened on the date." Caroline rudely says and I shoot daggers at her with my eyes. As I'm staring at Caroline to the death, a ball shoots right past her and missing her head by an inch.
Caroline shrieks and cowers away. I smirk at her and laugh. "You did that!" She points at me accusingly. "Nope. That was just Karma." I said and Bonnie laughed. "Okay I probably deserve that, but can you please tell us what happened?" She pleads and pouts.
"We went out. Had some ice cream. Talked. He took me back home and we might have almost... Kissed." I whisper the last part preparing myself for Caroline and Bonnie's shriek. Which surely came.
Their screams pierced my ears and caught the attention of everybody in the gym. "Oh my god! Almost? Why almost?" Bonnie asked and its surprising to see so much excitement out of her. "We were interrupted, but it doesn't matter. We are suppose to start our friendship not have a romantic relationship." I say.
"So you guys are going to be hanging out a whole lot more?" Caroline asked and I nod. "Yeah. He's helping me with my abilities and powers and all that." I explain. "About that. We're totally up to help you to." Bonnie says seriously and I nod thankfully.
"Then that settles it. We'll start today and have a sleepover." Caroline added. "Forbes, Gilbert, Bennett! What are you doing? If I catch you again doing nothing, you are running the track four times! Move your lazy ass!" Mr. Steve yelled and we hurriedly started playing the game of volleyball.
Damon's POV
"So, you're telling me that you went on a date for the very first time in the years that I have known you?" Ric inquired and I rolled my eyes and sipping some bourbon.
"Very funny Ric. What about you? I don't see you having any date so far." I acknowledged. "As a matter of a fact I do." Ric boasted.
"Her name is Jenna and I'm going out with her today." He added and I nodded. "Care to elaborate. I need a face to the name or a last name. There are lots of Jenna's out there." I smirk and he shakes his head.
"Sommers. Jenna Sommers." He elaborated and a bulb flickered inside my head. I stare up at him in astonishment "Sommers as in sister of Gilbert?"
"Yeah. She mentioned that. Do you know her? Oh god! Did you sleep with her?
"No! I know her alright. She's the Aunt of the date I went on moron."
"Oooh... Small world." Ric mutters and I chuckle softly. "Real small."
Elena's POV
After a boring class of P.E, Caroline, Bonnie, and I decided to meet at my house to start our sleepover. When I got home Jenna was getting ready for her date and Jeremy was minding his own business in his room.
I prepared a whole bunch of food in bowls and set them out. I took out the hidden booze from around the house and played the music. After I put the music I heard the doorbell ring. "Are we ready to get this party started?!" Caroline cheered and walked right past me and into the living room.
"I know I am." Bonnie said and threw me a quick smile and entered as well. "This is going to be so much fun! We'll do each others hair and get totally wasted!" Caroline said and I found myself laughing and nodding my head in anticipation.
"What should we do first?" I ask and we all look at each other simultaneously. "Get drunk!" We all shout together and throw our hands up in the air. "Not to drunk. I'm still your Aunt and responsible guardian so drink responsibly." Aunt Jenna said as she came into the room all dressed up.
"Ooooh... Look at you all dressed up. I heard you were going on a date." Caroline says. "I am and he should be here any second." She says and all of us hear a knock at the door. I rush to open it and see a handsome man.
"You must be Ric. I'm Elena. Her awesome niece and I'm warning you now... If you hurt her... You don't want to know what I'll do. Other than that its really nice to meet you." I say with a big smile and Jenna comes to the door and pushes me slightly out of the way.
"You're scaring him Elena." Jenna said frantically. "No problem. I've heard lots about you Elena. Damon is very fortunate to know a girl like you." Ric says and I look at him weirdly. "You know Damon?" I question and he nods.
"Best friend. And don't you worry... I'll take good care of Jenna." Ric says affectionately and looks down at Jenna and she blushes.
"I'm glad. Again it was really nice meeting you."
"You to. I hope to see you again."
I nod and Ric takes Jenna's arm and leads her to his car. I close the door and turn around only to see Bonnie and Caroline hogging the liquor. "Hey! No fair! You can't just hog all the alcohol!" I accused and Bonnie snickered.
"Too bad." Caroline says and she sticks her tongue out and takes a swig of the tequila. "You're going to get it. Right after I take the tequila." I say and they look at me confused. "How are you-..." Bonnie stopped mid sentence as the bottle of tequila flew out of their hands and into mine.
"That's how." I say proudly and drink some of the tequila. "That's unfair! We don't have superpowers like you Lena." Caroline pouts and I walk over to them. "I have powers you've never seen before, Care." I say and sit next to them. "Oh really. Then show us. Might as well do something while getting drunk." She says and I took that as a challenge.
"What do you want to see?" I ask. "I don't know. Something. Anything really." Bonnie pitches in. I agree and think of something's that I know how to do so far. I think of something quick and the girls see me across the room in a flash. "Something like this?" I beam and zoom towards their direction.
"My gosh Lena. What else can you do?" Caroline spoke. "I can do this. You guys already know I can do this so just listen closely." I said and they waited.
"My gosh Lena. What else can you do?" I mimicked what Caroline said seconds ago.
"Do I actually sound like that?" Caroline asked bewildered and Bonnie and I burst out laughing at her expression. After out laughter died down we decided to talk out the last gossip. Caroline recommended the idea.
"Caroline I heard that Tyler might have a thing for you." Bonnie chirped. "Seriously! Oh my god. Do you think he'll ask me out? I hope so that boy has a body." Caroline rambles. "He'll definitely ask you out. I mean come on. Who wouldn't want to have go at Caroline Forbes?" I declared giving her a boost of confidence and a friendly smile.
"Bonnie, Do you have any secret admirers or do you like someone?" Caroline asked and Bonnie blushed. Bonnie shrugged and I grew suspicious. "You like somebody." I said and she looked down hiding her embarrassment.
"What about you Elena? Matt is still obviously in love with you and now there's Damon." Bonnie affirmed to drive away the subject from herself. "I don't know. Matt is just a friend and Damon... Well Damon is a friend to. I guess." I said unsurely and it grew quiet in the group and the only thing you could hear was the faint music.
Caroline finally broke the silence saying, "All this talk about boys are making me crave their company. I'm bored to. We should invite some boys and play something." Caroline suggests and I grow uncertain.
"I'm don't think-..." I said before Caroline interrupted me. "Come on take a risk and I know a perfect game we can play. Please." Caroline begs with her bottom lip jutted out.
"Fine. You in Bonnie?" I ask. "Totally, but who should we call?" She questions and we look at Caroline. "You, Elena will call Damon." She obligates and I shake my head.
"If I call Damon then you have to call Tyler." I argue back. "Great. More people. I'll call Matt to. Elena, is it okay to invite Jeremy?" She asks and I nod my head. "If he wants to. You can ask him Bonnie." I said and she went upstairs to Jeremy's room.
I whipped out my cell phone and scrolled through my contacts to find Damon's name. As I shook my nerves away I pressed Damon's number. I put the phone to my ear and waited for Damon's voice to respond. After a few antagonizing seconds, his melodic voice hit my ear.
"Hello?" I heard him say and I breathed out.
"Hi, Damon. It's me Elena."
"What do I owe the pleasure of talking to you on this fine evening?"
"I wanted to ask if you want to hang out with a couple of friends of mine."
"Can't get enough of me? I don't blame you."
"Real funny Damon. Is that a yes?"
"It's a yes if you want it to be."
"Yeah."
"Then I'll be there."
"I'll see you soon."
"Real soon... Goodbye Elena."
"Bye Damon."
I hang up the phone and smile to myself. I place my phone in the back pocket and head to the kitchen where Caroline traveled to make her phone calls. "-Great. See you soon. Bye." I heard Caroline reply to the caller on the phone.
"That was Tyler and I already called Matt. They're both coming. Is Damon coming any time soon?" She asks. "Yeah he's coming." I say and we look to the stair case to see Bonnie and Jeremy coming down. They were laughing about something and I never would have thought about them being together.
Around ten minutes went by before the first knock on the door was heard. I got up from the couch and walked to the door and opened it. On the other side was Damon in all his bad boy glory and his famous leather jacket. If you ask me I would have thought the jacket was from when we were kids but got bigger over the years.
"You're here." I say and I open the door wider. "You ask, I come. I'm easy like that." He says and I chuckle under my breath. "Are you coming in?" I ask as I notice that he had just stood there.
"I need to be invited in." He says and he proves his point by being stopped by an invisible barrier. "Oh. Well... Come in. I trust you." I stated and stepped back to let him in. "Thanks. You have a beautiful home, Elena." He drawls out and I try to suppress the frantic beating of my heart.
"Thank you. We're waiting in the living room, so follow me." I said and lead him to where everybody is waiting. "Elena! You never told me how hot he was." Caroline exclaimed in a loud whisper which was heard by Damon. I saw him smirk through the corner of my eyes.
"Calm down, Care. Can't have him running away." I give her a look of 'off limits'. "Don't worry. I've been told many times before." He says and he does that thing with his eyes that have all the girls dropping their panties.
"It's a pleasure to meet you...-" he says and stops realizing he doesn't have her name. "Caroline." Caroline blushes and giggles. "Caroline. It was a pleasure to meet you." He kisses her hand and turns to Bonnie.
"Bonnie. My name is Bonnie." Bonnie says before he could ask. "You as well, Bonnie." Damon greets kissing her hand as well and I catch the look of jealousy from Jeremy.
"If it isn't Baby Gilbert. Haven't seen you in nine years. It's been too long." Damon says offering his hand out to shake. "Not long enough." I hear Jeremy say. "I sense some hostility." Damon calculated and at the same the doorbell rung again.
"I'll go get the door." I awkwardly say and exit the tense room. I open the door once again and Tyler and Matt stand on the front porch. "Hey guys. Come in." I say and usher them into the living room to maybe ease the tension.
Caroline immediately falls into conversation with Tyler and Matt stood next to me. "Hey Elena." Matt said. "Hi." I acknowledged.
"You look pretty tonight."
"Matt..."
"I know. I know. Friends and all. Only friends."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be. I'll get over it sooner or later. Maybe later."
"Matt-..." I begin to say again, but Caroline's booming voice cuts in. "Lets start. I already know what were going to play and I think it's going to be interesting. Everyone up for it?" She asked and everybody agrees.
We all pay attention to Caroline and her next announcement. "These are the rules. Rule #1: We all have to write two dares on two separate sheets of paper. Rule #2: On your turn you have to pick a dare from a jar we're going to put all the dares in. Ultimately, everybody has to do two dares throughout the whole game. Rule #3: You have to do the dares." Caroline asserted as she found a jar in the kitchen and came back with it and played it on the coffee table.
"I'll get paper." I suggested and came back with paper and pencils. I handed everybody a paper and pencil. I came up blank with my second dare and I had to dig deep enough in my brain to think of something clever.
Five minutes passed and everybody pitched in two dares and folded it into the jar. I watched as Caroline shook it to mix it up and I looked over to Damon. I caught his eye and when I looked at him he looked away. I sighed and waited for somebody to go first.
"Who's going first?" Bonnie asked and Matt raises his hand slightly. "The quicker I get these dares over with the better." He mutters and I laugh thinking I would do the same. He reaches inside the bowl and pulls out one folded piece of paper.
All of us stare curiously and watch as he unfolds the little paper and reads the dare. His face morphed into horror and he reads it out loud. "Call the police station and initiate phone sex... With an officer." Matt fidgeted and there were some audible gasps in the group.
"Who wrote this?" Matt asks and nobody answers either to busy laughing or to embarrassed to answer. "Doesn't matter you have to do the dare." Caroline pipes in and Matt groans. Tyler, who was right next to him, handed him his phone.
"Good luck man." Tyler laughs clapping his hand on his shoulder. This game was already getting good.
Matt's POV
Phone sex. Phone sex! Really? Who on Earth- you know what never mind. I heard the dial of the phone ad waited as someone picked up. Crossing my fingers that nobody would, but my luck was shot out of the window when I heard a familiar voice.
"Hello, this is Mystic Falls Police Department. How may I help you?" Caroline's mother, Sheriff Forbes answered. I've never tried phone sex before nor have I found an interest in it. I had no freaking idea how to start this and I was nervous and when I'm nervous I stutter.
"W-What are... You wea-wearing?" I ask trying to be smooth but failing miserably. "Excuse me? If this is some kind of joke... I recommend-..."I hear her say, but I try to prolong the conversation.
"I'm... Uh pretty ho-rny... Aren't you? Uhh..." I drawled out as I tried to think of what to say. I saw my 'friends' surrounding me as gesturing to put the phone on speaker. I let out a huge sigh and pressed the speaker button.
"Matt... Matt Donavon is that you? What nonsense are you talking about. Are you with my daughter?" Sheriff Forbes frantically asked and Tyler, Jeremy and a few others tried to stifle their laughs.
"Matt? This isn't Matt... I-I'm you're phone sex...buddy. Yeah. Oh well look at the time... I got to go bye." I rush and end the call immediately and I hear giggles and chuckles everywhere and I look down thoroughly embarrassed.
"I get it. It was hilarious! Would you stop laughing. Elena..." I said as I look to Elena for help. I watch hopelessly as I see her red faced and cachinnating. She realized that I called her name and calms herself down.
"I'm sorry Matt. But-But that was to funny."She laughs again holding her stomach and I slouch down annoyed at how the game's turning out for me. I was dreading it already.
"Settle down everybody. Bonnie, you should go next." Caroline suggests and Bonnie nods reaching into the jar as I did. Bonnie's face flashes with confusion and says, "I guess were heading into town." All seven of us lean into see what her dare said as she held it up.
"You just have to walk up to a complete stranger, hug them, and tell them how weirdly beautiful they are." Jeremy confirmed. "At least it wasn't as bad as Matt's dare." Tyler said causing more giggles to erupt. When will the torture end!
Bonnie's POV
Everybody got into their separate cars and drove near to the Grill. We saw a couple of people walk down the street and I decided to go harsh and do my dare.
"Alright guys. Wish me luck." I say and walk up to a bystander with his phone in his hand. I abruptly pull him into a tight hug and stand on my tippy toes. I get closer to his ear and whisper, "You are a beautiful human being and don't let anybody bring you down. You are loved and I love you. God Bless you, beauty." He awkwardly hugs me back , his hands in mid air and thinking what just happened.
"Do I know you?" He asks and I nod my head. "You know me now. Goodbye." I said and skip along to my friends and see Elena and Caroline 'awwwing'.
"I did my dare perfectly and I bet you that that dude's self confidence is as high as the moon." I say and Tyler holds the jar that we brought with us.
"It's Elena's turn. Ooh." Caroline wiggles her eyebrows and I shake my head. My friends are the best.
Elena's POV
The dare that I randomly chose literally made my face as red a tomato. I would have never agreed to this game if it meant doing a dare like this.
"Go to Mystic Shopping Center and sneak up on a stranger and place a load of condoms in their shopping cart while saying, 'we have a long night ahead of us.' "What does that even mean?" I cry out, my face reddening each and every second. I look around at everybody and
Damon's expression interests me the most. He had an amused expression and I nudged his ribs telling him it wasn't funny. He only whispered in my ear that it was sure as hell entertaining. I glared at him and I huff.
We drive to the Shopping Center and Damon made it his life's mission to make poke fun at me. "I wouldn't mind if those condoms were for you and I. I mean, wouldn't you rather get with this." He says arrogantly and I roll my eyes and make my way to the condoms aisle.
"I don't think I could... There aren't condoms big enough for you." I say and I immediately regret it. It sounded way better in my head. This only boosted Damon's ego and decreased my confidence at witty remarks. I now knew that Damon was the king at being witty and sarcastic.
"Thank you, Elena. I accept your compliment and while I'm here I might as well complain about the condom sizes." Damon said with a smirk. "It wast really supposed to be a compliment... As if I would know how 'big' you are under all that denim." I say distractedly and wrack my eyes on the various brands and sizes.
"I guess you'll just have to trust me when I say big, but off the topic of my manhood... I see American quarterback staring at us." Damon points over to Matt who is trying to be discreet in his staring. I
shrug my shoulders at him and decided that I should just take a handful of the condoms that weren't in a box set. "Do you like him?" I hear him ask and I look at him surprised.
"What's in it to you?" I say and shakes his head in understanding. "Oh I see. Ex- boyfriend. To specify that I mean clingy ex-boyfriend who's still madly in love with you, but you don't have a care in the world." Damon taunts and I turn to him.
"Shut up Damon." I say and I smile a small smile which Damon caches on. "Touchy. Whatever, it doesn't really matter because now your former best friend trying to become your best friend like old times is going to help you choose a victim for your dare." He says and we search together.
"Right over there. The guys decent, doesn't look married, and probably won't get easily offended. Little tip for 'ya... Act sexy... Boys dig that. Correction I dig that." He smirks again and I pack a punch at his shoulder.
"Control your hormones. I'm going over there now." I shush him and walk over to the guy with coffee brown hair. I steady my nerves and take a couple of deep breaths. I see that now all my friends are paying attention to my dare. Now or never. I thought.
"Hey!" I greet casually as if I knew him my entire life. I threw the condoms in his shopping cart and leaned on one leg. "I know. I know. There's a lot of condoms, but I figured that we would have a long night ahead of us. You. Me. In the sheets." I purr sexily and shift a little closer.
The guys is obviously aroused. Just because I dot have sexual experience doesn't mean I don't know when there's a boner in my presence.
"I guess we should get going then. Wouldn't want to waste another minute." He says and puts a hand on my waste; smirking. I can't help but think about Damon's smirk and how he would do it much better.
What? Get it together Elena... You're on a mission-... And woah did his hand get lower than necessary. The sudden move stops me from thinking about Damon and I mentally prepare my plan of escape out of this mess.
"You know what... I think I should get more condoms. Why don't you go and check out and I get some more." I say and he accepts quickly. I watch as he turns to a check out line and looks the opposite direction.
I sprint away towards Damon and crouch down on the floor. I pull on his arm and signal him to crouch down with me and watch the guys reaction. A couple of seconds later the poor man looks around confused as to where his bed buddy for the night was.
Feet away, the others were laughing to loudly and caught the attention of the guy. He looks over to the direction where Damon and I are. He leaves behind his cart and he gets closer and closer.
"What do we do?" I panic. "Run... We 'run'." He says and I understand what he's saying. Just as the guy was rounding the corner, Damon vamp sped away and I ran at the same speed as him and into the parking lot where our car was parked.
Our laughter doesn't cease until a confused and laughing group of friends appear. "How did you get out here so quickly? We could have sworn you would've been caught by that dude by now." Jeremy says and Damon and I look at each other.
"We're really fast runners." I answer and they all nod. "I went my turn, so who's next?" I ask to change the subject. Caroline reaches into the car pulls out the jar once again.
"Well there's one more Gilbert left, might as well be baby Gilbert." Caroline says and lets Jeremy take a go at his turn. Jeremy rolls his eyes and groans at the new nickname that had caught on. Damon grins widely. It was going to be a long night.
Jeremy's POV
Damn you, Damon! Seriously why was this dick even here... I know its because of Elena, technically, but still I would appreciate not being called baby Gilbert every living second. Dick.
I repeated what Elena, Bonnie, and Matt had done and took a nervous peak at my dare. Which I will note has to be so far the most illegal dare in the game.
"I have to pour paint on somebody's car." I said and as the others laughed and anticipated the dare, Elena had none of it. She was shaking her head and her arms were crossed over her chest... Something Mom would do. I guess it sorta stuck on her.
"No way. No. Nope. I refuse to let my brother do something illegal. I won't agree." Elena said defiantly to out group of friends. "Come on, 'Lena. If you don't agree... then you can act like you didn't know about it nor that you saw it. Let Jeremy have some liberty." Damon pouted and did I mention I love him now.
I also was very pleased that he called me Jeremy instead of baby Gilbert. "Fine, but you don't have paint." She says and smirks, yet I have never seen her smirk in a day of my life.
I think Damon may be an influence on her. "We're at a shopping center, Elena." I say and she slumps. "Well I'm not going back in there. That perv could be there and plus I have no involvement of this dare. I'm staying behind." She says and jumps onto the hood of the car.
"I'll keep you company." Damon says standing next to her knees. "Whatever. Lets go. Don't suck each others faces off." I yell behind me and I and the others make our way back into the store.
Elena's POV
I sigh as I see Jeremy fade away from my sight with my friends into the store. "This is a bad idea." I say to Damon who was leaning against the car.
"Relax. If I'm not worried then you shouldn't be worried." He said turning to look at me. "But you never worry about anything. I remember you being so carefree when we were younger. You wouldn't worry about homework, your grades, what people thought about you, and what shoes to wear at the fifth grade dance. You just didn't care... I wish I was like that. Fun. Easy going. That's my problem, I worry too much; I care to much." I say and I feel a hundred times lighter.
Damon stares up at me sadly... Then angrily? He hops up onto the hood with me and looks at me. "You're such an idiot. Don't you understand? That's the good thing about you, Elena. If someone doesn't care on this thing we call Earth, then who would. Someone has to and I have never been more happy that its you. Never stop caring, I at least hope you don't... I hope you didn't." He says and I feel the tears well up in my eyes.
"I never stopped caring for you, Damon." I whisper to him and we both lean back and lay back. "You said you hated me..." He responds. "Just because you said I was a freak." I point out.
"I didn't mean that and if it makes you feel better I guess I'm a freak to. I'm a vampire." Damon said and I elbow him. "You're not a freak. I'm not a freak. Discussion over. No need to bring up the past." I say and look at the stars up above.
"I like to think about the past. At least the good times. I cherish those memories." He says and I nod. It was silent between us and the only sound came from the zooming cars and the crickets chirp.
"Damon."
"Yeah."
"Do you think I'm weird? Strange even."
"I thought the discussion was over...," I rolled my eyes. "No. I think your..." Damon says trying to think of an appropriate word. "Amazing." I finish for him with a grin.
"Positively. Without a doubt, wonderful. A little crazy sometimes, but near perfect, fantastic, a really... really good friend." Damon whispers and If I moved a centimeter I would have been touching his lips with mine. I lean in slowly, but the loud chatter of the group interrupts us. We sit up quickly and create space between us.
I hear Damon mutter a couple of curses and I myself mutter some. Another kiss interrupted and I wasn't sure If I was supposed to be happy or sad about that. I found the overwhelming desire to kiss him too much to even handle and I wanted to let go and kiss him and settle the fire in the pit of my stomach.
But I wasn't too sure about letting my inhibitions run free because my head was telling me to stop. My brain was telling me that it was to early to kiss him. You're not even friends, barely.
My heart was screaming and aching to attack his lips and run a hand through his glossy raven hair. That is the reason why I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around a quote I once heard:
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
My thoughts were interrupted as Jeremy showcased the blood red paint they had boughten. I immediately look over to Damon when I realize the paint reminds me of blood. I quickly look away and pay attention to what the others are saying.
"Lets get this dare on the road. Pick a car Jeremy." Tyler says and Jeremy scans the parking lot packed with cars. "That one." Jeremy points to the black sleek car which probably cost a fortune.
"I'm looking away. Go do your thing Jeremy, but don't come running to me when you get caught by the cops." I say and turn around. "Noted." Jeremy says and we all watch as he gets closer to the car. He tips the paint bucket slightly and looks over to us.
"1... 2... 3!" Jeremy counts and pours the liquids paint all over the car head to toe, in this case hood to trunk. "Lets go before we get caught." Matt yells and we race into the two separate cars we drove. We zoom far away enough to not look suspicious and we park the car at the grill.
"Caroline, your next." Bonnie says and we all stare at her. Caroline salutes and says she's prepared for anything and I believe her. We enter the grill and join to round tables together to fit everybody in.
Caroline prepared herself by going around in a circle in her heels and rubbing her hands together and reaches into the jar. When she read her dare she seriously had a happy dance and swirled around the Grill. That's Caroline for you... My blonde bubbly friend.
Caroline's POV
I bounce on the walls happily and join our table of seven as if nothing had ever happened. "I'm guessing you have a really good dare." Elena says and I think about it. "Eh. It's not thrilling or exciting, but it's safe. It's nothing like you or Jeremy did." I say and I feel myself getting upset over not randomly choosing a dare that would be spontaneous, but I perk up anyways.
"Okay... What is it?" She asks and I clear my throat once. Twice. "Ya 'ave a British in your presence." I say in a British accent. "That was your dare?" Jeremy says in disbelief. "I believe so. Anybody want some waer. I want waer. I'm thirsty." I continue my accent and wave a hand to a waitress to fetch me a drink.
"How long do you have to do this?" Elena says and I announce for the rest of the game. As we all take a break on the game except my continuation of a British accent, we talk, eat, drink, and make jokes. I grew tired of just sitting so I suggested we keep playing.
They agree and it's Tyler's turn to preform a dare. I hold out the jar in front of him and he looks at me with a smile. I look down and grin as he pulls a scrap of paper and reads it out loud.
"Fake an orgasm in the girls bathroom. Classy. Real classy." Tyler says and shakes his head. Every one of us our laughing, giggling, and chuckling as we stand outside the girls bathroom where Tyler would go in. This ought a be fun.
Tyler's POV
I lift myself out of the chair and make my way to the girls bathroom. I push the door open and quietly check under the stalls to see if anybody was there.
Unfortunately, there were three girls in the bathroom and I would be making a complete fool of myself. I enter an empty stall and decide how I would do this. It's not everyday you're faking an orgasm in a girls bathroom.
I started out with breathy scream and I felt awkward already. I added a couple of moans and jiggles at the stall door. I mumbled a couple of words and groaned as if I were thrusting every each second.
I heard a couple of shuffles and gasps throughout the bathroom and I sped up my rhythm and moans. The click of the door being opened and shut stopped me and I strode out the bathroom. The gang was nearby and watching.
"How was that?" I asked and sat down. "I would say it went well. You made those girls leave the bathroom in a flash and they were blushing a bright red. Bravo." Jeremy says.
"That was awkward and embarrassing, dude." I mutter and they nod there heads in understanding. "Can we please move on?" I plead wanting the subject to change.
"Yeah... Hmmm... Damon. You're the only one who hasn't gone. You should go next." Caroline says and the guy, Damon smirks. I wonder who he is. "It would be my absolute pleasure, Caroline." He says and retrieves a dare out of the many more.
I look over to Caroline and see her blushing and Elena rolling her eyes. I frown confused and look over to Damon. He looks at his dare and a grin appears on his face.
"It's no doubt that half of you in this group are very dirty minded. Tsk tsk... I thought I was dirty." He says and I have to admit the guy is funny. He claps his hands together once and says, "Lets get this dare on the road. I surely can't wait."
Damon's POV
I take my phone out of my pocket and dial a random number. I throw the dare on the table and lean back in my chair comfortably. I see Elena pick the dare up and reads it.
She quirks her eyebrow at the words that read, 'call a random number and talk dirty' and passes the dare around the table. Caroline's eyes brighten, Jeremy looks indifferent as well as Tyler, Bonnie tries to hold in her snorts, and Matt smirks.
I'm pretty sure I know why he would smirk, but lets just say I was being confident not cocky. I put my finger on my lips to shush them and I smile as I hear a female answer the phone and from the sound of her voice she was young.
"Hello." The young female voice says over the phone. "Hello. What a lovely voice you have. What's your name?" I ask huskily and I hear her sharp intake of breath. "M-Molly. Who is this?" She breathed and I smirk.
"Molly... I like to think that the mystery of not knowing somebody is... Exhilarating. Don't you agree, Molly?" I say. "Yes... No! I don't know." I hear her uneven breathes.
"Where are you Molly?"
"In my bedroom..."
"Are you bored, Molly?
"Y-yes."
"Do you want to do something fun? I know I do."
"Like what?"
"I'll show you... What are you wearing, Molly?"
"A tank top and lacy panties."
"How convenient. Have you ever... touched yourself?"
"No. I haven't..."
"What a shame. I can teach you right now. Do you want me to cause I can and it'll give you a huge amount of pleasure."
"I want you to teach me, please."
"You don't have to beg. I'll give you what you want. Molly, I want you to take two fingers and glide them slowly from your breast all the way to where you want it most." I say lowly and look at the others listening intently.
Everybody's expression had changed since last time. Bonnie looked uncomfortable and heated, Caroline looked amazed and intrigued, Tyler was looking at me in disbelief and Jeremy was trying his hardest not to listen, Matt was downright seething and I smirked smugly at him, and finally Elena was... Jealous?
She was looking away from me and had her arms crossed over her chest. I really couldn't pin her expression as jealousy, but she was forming a mask of indifference, but I knew her.
She would always crinkle her nose when she was mad or jealous. I focused all my attention on the girl, Molly who was trying to seek pleasure. I hear a soft moan come from the back her throat.
"What do I do now?" She asks. "I want you to take your panties off and run a finger along your slit..." I order and with my enhanced eyesight I see Elena get goosebumps. Elena slowly turns towards me and looks at me.
"Now I want you to add two fingers into your pulsing pussy and start out slow." My voice was raspy as I stared at Elena and she stared back. Polly, or Molly's moans grew louder and she screamed out.
"I want it faster... Ahhh." Words outed out of her mouth. "Add another finger and speed up the pace. Take your other hand and fondle your breast, I remain eye contact with Elena, that's it. Faster." I urge.
"I feel like I'm going to explode." Molly screams and gasps. "Good. Add one last finger harder and don't stop. Just come for me." I say and a few seconds later she screamed out in pleasure and I smirk.
"That was really really good... We should meet up. Can I have your number?" I hear her say trying to regain her breath. "Since I did call you as an unknown number I will surely give you my number." I lie and she responds with a great. I proceed to give her a fake number and after we say our goodbyes I hang up.
"Well that took some energy out of me." I say cockily and give one last look at Elena. "I guess it's Matt's turn again isn't it. I hope you have better luck with your next dare because surely your last one wasn't too great." I said and Matt looks at me annoyed.
This game was actually starting to get interesting.
Elena's POV
My blood was brewing and I felt it course my veins. I was feeling as though I wanted to strangle 'Molly' over the phone. I don't know why I was jealous, I just was. Not only was I jealous, but I was aroused.
It felt like instead of some random girl trough that got pleasure from Damon, but myself. The worst was that I like it. We were supposed to be friends god dammit! I felt utterly hopeless and his cocky, arrogant, and infuriating attitude was well... Infuriating.
My thoughts were rudely interrupted when I heard a groan from beside me. My head snaps to my left and see Matt clearly upset and angry. "What's wrong Matt?" I ask feeling an obligatory need to see what was wrong.
"Whoever wrote this dare, I hate you." Matt said. Caroline took the dare from him and read it. "Looks like you have to log onto Facebook." She says and Bonnie asks why.
"Because Matty has to write something on his status." She said and we looked at her to go on. "Ugh. He has to write that he has herpes." She finally says and we make an 'oh' sound. Matt mumbles a quite curses and logs onto Facebook on his phone.
I look over his shoulder as he types in 'I have herpes. FML.' and I laugh as he reluctantly presses the post button. "There. Done. Are you guys happy. So glad this was my last turn." Matt says.
Bonnie chooses her dare and says that she has to dance the 'Stankey leg' down the street. This was hilarious because it had to be the stupidest dance ever.
Bonnie pleads to not make her do it, but Caroline has none of it and tells her to go dance till she drops. Bonnie walks outside and crouches down slightly and extends one leg. Just as we all thought this was getting really embarrassing, Jeremy plays the song loud enough for everyone to hear.
Bonnie crosses her arms and rotates her knee as If she were trying to light out a lit cigarette. She then did it with the same leg and every time she went lower.
The boys cheered and whistled and Caroline and I clapped and encouraged her. Finally after she was done she bowed as every one of us clapped proudly.
"I didn't think Bonnie Bennett had those moves. Drop with it." Caroline exclaims and we fall into a fit of laughter and I feel lighter and happier just laughing with a group of friends.
"Elena! It's your turn." Caroline beams happily and skips into the grill and brings the jar outside so I could choose my dare. My fingers skim the few dares that we're left and I grabbed one.
"Kiss anybody from the opposite gender in the group." I say and my face falls slightly. "That's easy and great." Caroline says. No. Not great, Caroline.
There were only four boys and my choices were behind limited. I was not going to kiss my brother and just thinking of that gave me disgusted shivers.
I couldn't kiss Tyler because
I knew that Caroline liked him and he she and if I were to kiss Matt then he would think I wanted to get back together with him.
All these we're huge no-no's and the only option left was Damon. My former best friend since childhood and my ex best friend, but my current friend beginning to be best friend again and it's all just one huge mess.
I cried internally with guilt as I saw Matt's hopeful expression and looked as if he were already puckering his lips.
"Go on, Elena. You know who you want to kiss." Caroline taunts and I glare at her. If looks could kill. I looked forward the same direction Matt and Damon where and wished myself good luck.
My heart was beating rapidly and I my hands became clammy, but I felt the fluttering of butterflies in my stomach.
I strode a couple of steps before my parted lips reached his and I grabbed onto his shoulders for support. The kiss was gentle but quickly grew heated. His mouth was warm and the caress of his lips made me yearn for more. His cologne attacked my senses and told myself it was my new favorite scent.
He draws me closer and my hands latch on to his hair, tugging it slightly. I felt his tongue run across my bottom lip causing me to gasp. He took the opportunity to explore my mouth. His hands on my lower back drew me even closer if that was possible.
My hands reached up to his face controlling which way hips lips would brush against mine sweetly. When the time came when my lungs were burning and needed air I stepped back panting heavily. My breathing was shallow and so was Damon's and I stared up at him.
I wanted to kiss him again as I saw his lust filled eyes state down at me, captivating. I was going to kiss him again, but Caroline's bubbly voice made me jump. "Awwww. That should totally go into a movie. I should direct that movie. I would direct that movie." Caroline gushes and bounces happily.
I stepped back and fixed my clothes and not daring to look at the beautiful blue eyes. Damon runs a hand through his messy hair that I was tugging on a few seconds ago and I blush. "I... Uh. I think it's Jeremy's turn." I say quickly and look away as Damon and Matt look at me.
One with disbelief and sadness and the other with intrigue. Jeremy takes his turn and tells us that he has to full out curse somebody. We all wait as Jeremy decides his victim and I'm still uncomfortable and heated.
The heat between my legs, my face, and in my stomach was getting unbearable so I excused myself to go to the bathroom. Nobody was in there, probably because they head of Tyler's 'orgasm'. I splashed water onto my face and examined myself in the mirror.
My hair was a little tousled and my shirt was out of place slightly. My lips were plump and red and I was still showcasing a blush. As I was about to exit the bathroom the door opened and Damon appeared.
He shuts the door behind him making sure I couldn't leave. "Hey. Uh. Lets get back out there. It's almost your turn." I say to him and make a move to leave, but Damon stops me. He gives me a stern look and I look back at him stubbornly.
"I can make you agreeable to get out of my way, Damon." I warn him and move the other way to get out, he blocks it again. "Harsh words Elena. Odd coming from such smooth lips." Damon smirks and I gulp.
"Just get out of my way." I glare at him. "Why did you kiss me, Elena?" He asks and I take a step back. "It was my dare, Damon." I said and crossed my arms over my chest.
"No your dare was to kiss any boy in the group. Why Elena?" He presses. "Because you were my only option. It's not like you didn't enjoy the kiss." I say. "It's not like you didn't enjoy the kiss." He says back.
"Can we maybe talk about this later." I say feeling confined in the bathroom. "I'll agree on one condition..." He says and I nod my head. "You kiss me again." He says and I gasp.
"No!" I say and slap him slightly on the arm. "Can't blame a guy for trying, Elena." He smirks and I roll my eyes. "Come on we're missing the dares." I tell him. "I'm glad we didn't miss your dare." He says grinning and wiggling his eyebrows.
I bump shoulders with him playfully and I think to myself that these were the times I missed the most about him. The way he could make me laugh in a heartbeat. We move through the crowded Grill and go outside. Instantly Caroline speaks her annoyance at our absence.
"You missed Jeremy's dare and mine." She huffed. "Sorry. We were just talking, but we're here now, so who's next." I say and Tyler says its his turn. There were currently two dares left and we watched as Tyler unfolded his scarp of paper that had his dare written.
"I bet Jeremy wrote this dare." Tyler say and Jeremy grins. "So you got it? I've been waiting for this all night." Jeremy cheers happily. "Do you want to me killed?" Tyler asks in disbelief.
"Come on, it's not that bad." Jeremy said. "Then you guys tell me this. Is practically yelling the word 'Nigger' in the ghetto not sound dangerous?" He asks and I shake my head at Jeremy.
"That's is dangerous and I don't think you should do it." I tell Tyler. "Oh I'm going to do it. I just wanted let you know what a sick brain your brother has." Tyler laughs and I roll my eyes. "Let's go already." Jeremy says too excited for this. Again we get into the car and drive to the 'ghetto' part of town.
There's vandalism everywhere and trash around the streets. I never knew Mystic Falls had such a dingy part of town. It was surprising to say the least. We got out of the car hesitantly but surely.
"Good luck Tyler." Caroline says and Tyler smiles back at her. Unsure of what to do the rest of us stayed behind near the car and saw Tyler began his chant. The first word he bellowed was nigger and after that came an onslaught of the same word.
From nigger to niggers to come out here niggers, Tyler didn't stop. That is until you saw people emerge from the shadows. Slowly there were more people descending and Tyler stopped looking around at all the angry eyes looking at him.
One person if I recalled shouted out, "Yo get him!" After that it all went downhill. They charged and cursed and Tyler bolted towards the car. We hastily got into the two cars and fumbled around for space.
"Hurry up! Let me in." Matt said with urgency as we had a hard time fitting in. "Let's get out of here." I say and Caroline wastes no time in gunning the engine and making a retreat.
Nobody spoke the entire ride him and the only thing heard was the air conditioning and our heavy breaths. As my house was in sight I thanked the heavens that I was home.
As soon as Caroline stopped the car I got out and yelled home. Making my way inside I threw myself on the couch and the others piled in.
"We are not going back there." I say and everybody nods quickly. "Well there's no point in doing the last dare since it involves going outside so the game is over." Caroline says and I sigh.
"Can we just get drunk?" Jeremy groans. "I'm down. I could use a drink." Damon says and everybody agrees including myself. Bonnie and Caroline pop out the drinks from earlier in the night and place some shot glasses on the coffee table.
Caroline, Bonnie, Jeremy, Tyler, Matt, Damon, and I spent the rest of the night drinking and talking. Unaware that someone was watching one of us.
