Disclaimer: I don't own anything apart from this story.

Previously:Elena moved to Seattle at their family friend, Giuseppe Salvatore's place. She met Damon for the first time on the night of her arrival. They had a friendly little talk. They both left their strong imprints on each others mind. Damon stayed awake the entire night thinking of the first and last time he'd met her on her first birthday. He admired that she'd grown to such a stunning woman. His childhood memories soon turned into wild fantasies and he realized something that he was starting to have romantic feeling for her, which by experience he knew, would only end up in tears and heartbreak. To avoid the painful, pointless feelings, he took off for a business trip to Italy. Elena on the other hand, waited eagerly to meet Damon again the next morning … But when he didn't come and Stefan asked her to hang out with him, out of rage she agreed and went to a party with Stefan. Damon started regretting his decision to keep away from Elena almost immediately after leaving town. Moreover, when he called Helena that night and he learnt that Elena was hanging out with his brother, Damon instantly assigned two privet agents to watch over Stefan and Elena and he determined to return ASAP. Then...


Chapter 8 [We Meet Again]

February 20

7:00 am.

Dear Diary,

Life in Seattle is fucking awesome! I've only been here for a week and I'm already madly in love with this city. In Mystic Fells, Jeremy and Bonnie were my only friends. When I came here first I thought it would be so hard to get some friends in here but now… I've got the most amazing friends in the world. Helena and Caroline are amazing… like I've known them my entire life. Bonnie was so happy when I told her about Caroline and Helena and my other friends. She will be here in three more days and she is so excited to meet all my new friends. I'm so excited to live in our own apartment with Bonnie. We decided that when Bonnie will be in Seattle, we'll move in there… but Giuseppe told me that it would be better if Bonnie stayed with me in Salvatore house the day she arrives. So Bonnie will stay with me in the Salvatore house when she arrives and the next day we'll move out.

Now, it feels like I have everything I want in my life… along with my new boyfriend. Yes, Stefan is my boyfriend now. I know it's a little fast but I really like him. He makes me so happy and he is fun, sweet and good. He was always so good to me when we were younger. Now, it's like he hasn't changed a bit. He is my same old sweet Stefan. Though I have to admit I was so surprised when he told me in the V-day party that he wants more… more than friendship. At first I thought that he was telling those things because he was a little drunk but then when he asked me for more in the next morning I knew that he was serious. He told me that he had always liked me. Then off course, I had to think about his offer. When I told my mother about Stefan, she was also socked. Though she told me that it would be really nice if I have him as my boyfriend. My mom is very fond of Stefan. I think she was happy that Stefan wants a relationship with me. She told me that I need someone to look after me when I'm far away from home. I know she is right… and hell it really feels so good when someone looks after you. And besides Stefan is really good and safe choice and I like him so much. This past few days he was so desperate to prove to me that how good he can be for me… and that was really very sweet of him. We've spent so much time together… he had taken me to so many places in here. I like his company. So, after everything… last night I told him that we can be more that friends. Though I also told him that it's a trial relationship and we'll see how it goes… and then we'll take the next level. So, now Stefan Salvatore is my boyfriend and I've got a date with him tonight. There's a Founder's party in this town. Giuseppe has invited me himself as he is one of the Founder's member. So, we girls are going to shopping to buy my dress for tonight. And it's a masquerade party! I'm already excited about this party!

Elena…

xXx

Elena walked through the huge door and entered the party. She quickly eyed the whole party. She was impressed. She had never been in a party like this. Helena had told her that this was nearly the biggest party in Seattle. She noticed that a man wearing a black tuxedo with a dark red mask was walking towards her with a bright smile on his face. She smiled when she recognized that smile… Stefan!

"You look so beautiful, Elena", Stefan said then he lean his face to kiss Elena's cheek. She was confident enough that she was looking good after spending thousands of dollars on her dress, shoe and the other accessories and the entire afternoon with Helena and Caroline, dressing up... and probably spending this vast amount of time wasn't enough for her. So she let Stefan come to the party earlier so that she didn't delay Stefan's arrival along with hers. How rude of me!she thought out of guilt at that time, 'cause they'd just started dating and she already told her date to come to the party alone, because she needed more makeup-time... But now she knew that it didn't bother Stefan anymore... Because every minute she stood before the mirror, was worth the wait. She knew she looked beautiful. She was wearing a Golden-black ballgown. The upper portion was bodice, corset setting... it was black and had a sweetheart neckline. The skirt was made of a golden material that was shining like liquid gold and it was highlighted with layers of creases of black net with glitter on them and there was a huge bow made of the same black glittery net on the back of the waistline. It was a bit flashy, so she decided go with nude makeup on. She wore a light hint of make up, applied a little peach lip gloss. Helena curled her hair and she swept it to one side, so the other side of her neck was flawlessly exposed and her diamond earring on display. At the end she put her gloves and her Black mask on. Even the mask was designer too, it was highlighting her smokey eyes.

"Hmm… you don't look so bad yourself", Elena said smilingly. Stefan held out his arm towards Elena and she took his hand.

"Come on, I want you to meet some of my friends", Stefan said then took Elena inside the party.

xXx

Half an hour latter-

Elena had met so many people in the last half an hour. She barely could remember each of their names. She noticed that she was getting so much people's attention… mainly men's attention. Though she knew, the reason was her pretty face. Stefan was a perfect date. Elena liked spending time with Stefan. He was being a perfect gentleman to Elena. Though Elena noticed that he was trying to act like they were in a serious relationship. He had introduced Elena to everyone as his girlfriend, holding her firmly in his arm. Shit! He is really acting like we are very serious. I have to remind him that we are still in a trial relationship.

"Elena!" she heard Helena call her name. She turned her head and saw that she was coming towards her with her date Jake.

"It's time! Come on we gotta go", Helena said with a excited grin lingering on her face.

"Time for what?" Elena asked all confused.

"The First Dance Auction. Come on you're going with me. Mrs. Lockwood asked me to bring you and Caroline with me on the stage", Helena grabbed Elena's hand and pulled her out from Stefan's arm.

"Helen, wait…" Elena turned her head back to look at Stefan who was clearly looking very pissed. But Helena was already pulling her towards the stage where ten more young women was standing, along with Caroline. Helena quickly stood beside Caroline and started to talk about their excitement with each other. Elena rolled her eyes at them and stood beside Helena. Elena noticed Mrs. Lockwood standing on the side of the stage holding a microphone.

"Helen… what are we doing here?" Elena asked, still confused with the whole situation.

"You'll know", Helena smirked at her. Elena frowned at her. She was going to ask more but…

"Gentlemen, the highlight of the evening!" Mrs. Lockwood's excited voice booms over the babble of voices… She continued… "The moment you've all been waiting for! These twelve lovely ladies have all agreed to auction their first dance to the highest bidder!" What!Elena hadn't realized that Helena had brought her to the stage for this. Oh no… this is humiliating!

"It's for a good cause, Elena" Helena hissed at Elena, sensing her discomfort. Elena nodded at her nervously. She knew that this was for a good cause… the money they would get from this, would help so many poor people to survive. But she could't help but feet uneasy.

"Now, gentlemen pray gather round, and take a good look at who could be yours for the first dance. Twelve comely and compliant wenches", Mrs. Lockwood smirked. Jeez! I feel like I'm being sold in a meat market.Elena thought as she watched, horrified, as at least thirty men gather round in the stage area. She noticed Stefan standing in front of the stage area, looking at her. She smiled at him and he smiled back, a smile of assurance.

Once the bidders are assembled, Mrs. Lockwood continued… "Ladies and gentlemen, in the tradition of the masquerade we shall maintain the mystery behind the masks and stick to first names only. First up we have the lovely Mia", Elena noticed that Mia was giggling like a schoolgirl while walking to the center of the Stage. She was dressed in a green ball gown with a matching mask. Two young men step forward expectantly. Wow! Lucky Mia… Look even she is shocked.

"Now, gentlemen, What am I bid?" Mrs. Lockwood grinned at the two young men. Mia grinned shyly at the two contenders.

"A thousand bucks!" One man called out. Then very quickly the bidding escalated to five thousand dollars.

"Going once… going twice… Sold!" Mrs. Lockwood said loudly. "To the gentleman in the blue mask!" Then there were hoots of laughter, applause and cheering. Mia beamed at her purchaser and quickly exited the stage.

"See? This is fun!" Helena whispered. Elena watched as those women in the stage were sold for their first dance until it was her turn… and she was nervous as hell. She had never done this before. She glanced at Stefan nervously and he politely smiled at her.

"And now, allow me to introduce our beautiful Elena", Don't hold your breath Elena! Elena closed her eyes thinking that if she couldn't see anyone then they won't see her. She felt Helena pushing her to go to the center of the stage. Elena walked nervously to the center and stood there on display for everyone. She lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Well, gentlemen – " Before Mrs. Lockwood could finished his sentence Elena heard Stefan's voice… "Ten thousand dollars." Elena looked up at Stefan who was smiling at her. Before Elena could think anything…

"Twenty thousand dollars," A deep meal voice announced. Elena gasped as she heard his voice… not only because she was shocked hearing his bid but also because she felt like she knew who it was… only she couldn't remember clearly who it was. Elena turned her head towards the mystery man. But before she could study him…

"Twenty five," Elena heard everyone gasped in disbelief behind her. At first Elena thought it was Stefan but her eyes couldn't find him anywhere near the stage. It was like Stefan had vanished. Elena turned to see who was the other man. She saw a tall, impeccably dressed man with dark black curly hair. He was wearing a deep green mask. Then Elena turned her head to see the mystery guy. He looked pissed for some reason. He was wearing a black tuxedo and a black mask. He had dark black hair. Why dose he look so familiar? Elena thought.

"Fifty thousand dollars", the Black mask announced loudly. Shit! Could this be any more embarrassing? Stop this whole bidding crap!Elena thought.

"Well, gentlemen! We have high rollers in the house this evening", Mrs. Lockwood's excited voice said as she turned to beam at Elena. She stared at the ground… too ashamed to look up.

"Fifty five thousand dollars", the Green mask said challengingly. Now, Elena was red from embarrassment. She noticed that the babble of the crowd had died. Everyone in the party was staring at Elena. Elena looked up and saw that the man with black mask was staring at her like a hawk. He looked deep in thought… then a devilious smile played in his lops. That smile…Elena tried so hard to remember who he was but her mind was not working clearly in that moment. Elena saw him taking a deep breath…

"Two hundred thousand dollars", her Black mystery knight said, his voice ringing clear and loud, daring everyone in the party to cross this amount of money. Elena closed her eyes in embarrassment. A general gasp of dismay and amusement rippled through the crowd. The other man held his hands up in defeat.

"Two hundred thousand dollars for our lovely Elena! Going once… Going twice…" Mrs. Lockwood glanced at the other man, and then she cried out triumphantly… "Sold!"

Elena took a deep breath then open her eyes. Thank God! At least it ended! Elena thought relieved. She turned to give Helena a tough look, only to see that Helena was smiling and jumping up and down with delight. Elena couldn't understand how could her friend be so happy when she was miserable. Elena heard a deafening round of applause and cheering as her mystery man in black mask stepped towards the stage. He walked towards her with an amused grin on his face. Elena tried to smile in return but her smile fade away as she gazed at his eyes… those gray eyes that had hunted her every night in her dreams for the last week. She gasped as she recognized him…

"Damon…" She said breathlessly. Damon smiled a satisfied smile seeing her reaction towards him. Elena stared at his eyes through his black mask, which showed off his beautiful gray eyes.

"Hello Princess", Damon smirked as he took her hand in his and then he kissed her hand, then lifted his face with the well-known 250 kilo-watt smile curved on his sculpted lips. Elena blushed pink when his lips touched her hand sending a odd exhilarating shiver ran through her body. Elena felt too hot and too cold at the same time and she couldn't stop thinking about how his lips would feel like against her other body parts. She couldn't tear her eyes away from his face. So, beautiful. Even in the mask he looks so… yum...Elena couldn't stop herself from staring at him when her mind begged her to stop. Damon said as he helped her getting out from the stage when Elena continued to gawk at him as if no one existed in the whole planet except Damon. Damon tucked her hand into the crook of his arm, grinning at her. Damon led her to a corner of the ballroom, away from the crowd. After being the center of everyone's attention, Elena was grateful that she was out of people's sight. She thought that the quite place might help her to relax but again she her mind and body refused to be relaxed. She didn't understand why she always felt this nervous and overwhelmed around Damon. Damon crocked his head to one side to study her. He was very satisfied, seeing her reactions. He liked it when she looked all helpless and nervous as hell around him.

"So, Elena… Did you miss me?" Damon asked. Though he knew that she had missed him. And he got his answer when her face turned red and she looked down to hide her face. She took deep breathes to steady her heartbeat.

"You've managed to make the most expensive dance of the year", Elena finally managed to say something.

"Hmm… that was only for you Princess", Damon smirked, raising his eyebrow. Elena frowned.

"I don't understand. Why did you do that for me? That was crazy!" Elena shook her in confusion.

"Why? I just wanted to dance with you", Damon said like it was nothing.

"WHAT? You just spend two hundred thousand dollars only to dance with me? You could have just asked me for a dance", Elena said, still not understanding why did he do that. Damon sighed.

"Look Elena… first of all I wanted to spend some time with you. Second, when I heard my baby brother's 'ten thousand dollars crap', I had to prove to everyone that you deserve aaa… lot more than that. Third, I had to prove to Mr. Creepy that he can't win a challenge when it's me who's bidding on the other side", Damon said.

"So, you know who the Green man was?" Elena asked curiously. Damon shook his head chuckling at her green man comment. Ahh... so our little miss Elena likes to give pet names too!he thought in astonishment, may be she's gonna call you her Black Knight... his Badness said chuckling,I mean not that I'm complaining or something...

"Yep! That would be Dr. Atticus Shane. He has a thing with challenging me", Damon said. Then he bit his lower lip as he eyed her up and down. Oh my… she looks so… breathtakingly beautiful.Damon had been eye-fucking her since the moment he had seen her for the first time in that evening. He was talking with Carol Lockwood and the younger Mikaelson when she had walked through the entrance of the party. He had wanted to take her right there and then. Her olive skin was looking like it was glowing. He wanted to roam his hands all over her skin. What a shame, you were unable to do that when your brother had her in his arms,his Badness mocked. Damon couldn't remember the last time he had felt this jealous when he had seen her happily smiling in his brother's arm. Well, now it won't be too long before she'll be in my arms. Damon thought as he continued to gaze at her face… down her neck… her cleavage. Elena caught him staring at her chest and she blushed.

"Come on, we should head towards the dance floor. It would be rude to miss the most expensive dance of the year!" Damon said as he held out his hand for Elena. Elena smiled then took his hand and they walked towards the dance floor.

When they reached to the dance floor, Elena noticed Caroline standing there with a tall, blond and handsome looking man. And Caroline's face was brightening with excitement like she had just won a lottery or something. The man said something into her ear and she blushed into a bright shade of pink. Then Elena noticed Helena standing there with a copper haired young man and Helena looked pissed at the man for some reason. Elena tried to find Stefan in the dance floor, but she couldn't find him there. Why do you think he would be in the dance floor? He wanted to dance with you when you are going to dance with his brother. Elena's subconscious noted. Elena heard music filling in the room and the first dance started.

"You look stunning if it isn't obvious", Damon said as they started to dance.

Give me love like her
'Cause lately I've been waking up alone
Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt
Told you I'd let them go

And that I'll fight my corner
Maybe tonight I'll call ya
After my blood turns into alcohol
No, I just wanna hold ya...

"Thank you", Elena said. Damon held her firmly as they gracefully danced around the dance floor. Elena had never danced so gracefully with anyone. Damon made it so easy to follow his lead. Wow! He really knows how to dance. Elena thought as she stared at his eyes and he looked back at her eyes. Damon eyes were shining with enthusiasm. He felt so good to have her in his arms. Elena continued to look at his eyes… she couldn't tear her eyes away from his. She felt like he had hypnotized her with his eyes as the rest of the world fade away from her view. Damon leaned closer to Elena, holding her in his arm firmly as they continued to dance together. Damon felt no control over his own body as he leaned more close to her face, fixing his eyes on hers. They both didn't realized how close they were until Damon broke their eye-contact to look down at her lips. Elena did the same thing when she noticed Damon wetting his lips with his tongue. Her heart pounded in her chest when she looked up to see Damon gazing at her lips with lustful gray eyes. Oh my…She felt a shiver ran through her spine. She quickly turned her face to the other side, blushing furiously as she realized what they were about to do. Wow! Elena Gilbert, your boyfriend will be so proud of you. First, you dance with his brother when he wanted to dance with you and then you almost kissed his brother in front of everyone! What is wrong with you! Her subconscious yelled at her, as she turned red from the embarrassment. Damon wasn't happy to see that she had turned her face before he could kiss her. But he got something to be happy about… He took that opportunity to gape at her shamelessly. He hadn't had the chance to stare at her body from a close vision. So, he took his time staring at her exposed neck… down to her chest. He took a deep breath as he got a very clear view of her deep cleavage. Elena quivered in his arm as she noticed his gaze roaming shamelessly all over her upper body. Elena was used to seeing men staring at her body and she didn't care if someone stared at her. But something about Damon's intense gaze made her tremble in an unknown feeling. She felt like she could see through his eyes as he undressed her with his eyes… She felt immensely naked under his gaze. She felt like she could almost read his mind as he thought all of those dirty things he would to her. Oh God! I have to do something to stop him from gaping at me…

Give me love like never before
'Cause lately I've been craving more
And it's been a while but I still feel the same
Maybe I should let you go

You know I'll fight my corner
And that tonight I'll call ya
After my blood is drowning in alcohol
No, I just wanna hold ya

Give a little time to me or burn this out
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around
All I want is the taste that your lips allow
My, my-y, my, my-y, oh, give me love...

"You know, you shouldn't have bid me in the first place. Your brother wanted to dance with me", Elena blurt out the first thing that popped into her head. She turned her face to look at him.

"Hmm… But I wanted to dance with you. And usually I get what I want. Besides, Do you really think that you worth only ten thousand dollars?" Damon asked her raising his eyebrows. Elena shook her head then laughed.

"So, You really think that I worth only two hundred thousand dollars?" Elena asked, smirking at him. Damon smiled down at her.

"No, I think you are incredibly precious Elena…" Elena blushed hearing Damon's words. She liked hearing her name in his voice. She also liked it when he called her Princess. She smilingly stared up at him.Now, don't look at his eyes for too long… Please! Elena listened to her subconscious, as she knew what happened last time. But she liked to stare at his beautiful eyes… she felt like she had no control over her eyes as they found their own way to stare at his eyes.

"So, when did you get back from Italy?" Elena asked.

"Early in the morning", Damon said.

"Early in the morning? I didn't see you in the house today", Elena said.

"Oh um… I was in my apartment", Damon said. Elena frowned. Why does he need a apartment? He has a beautiful house and a family. Elena thought but she didn't say anything about it.

"Elena…" Damon whispered after a few moments, looking down at her.

"Huh?" Elena quickly looked up at him. Damon stared at her eyes, holding her gaze with his eyes.

"You didn't answered my question", Damon said.

"What question?" Elena asked all confused. He didn't ask me anything… right?

"Did you miss me?" Damon asked with a serious expression on his face. Elena's eyes widen. She was clearly shocked hearing his question.

"Um… No…" Elena said as he looked down and bit her lower lip. Damon studied her face for a moment.

"I think you're lying, Elena…" Damon whispered huskily in her ear. Elena shivered instantly, hearing his voice. She continued to look down to hide the blush forming in her face. Damon chuckled, seeing her reactions.

"Come on, admit it that you missed me, Elena…" Damon said, using his sexy voice as he said her name. Elena trembled uncontrollably as his lips almost brushed her ear. Elena closed her eyes, taking deep breathes.

"Stop saying my name like that", She almost begged him. Damon grinned, hearing her pleading.

Give a little time to me or burn this out
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around
All I want is the taste that your lips allow
My, my-y, my, my-y, oh, give me love
My, my-y, my, my-y, oh, give me love
My, my-y, my, my-y, give me love...

"Like what? Like I'm making love to your name?" Damon asked innocently. Elena's eyes widen instantly.

"Damon!" Elena almost yelled. She wanted to punch in his face. But as soon as she looked up to see his face she blushed. He was smirking at her and Elena loved and hated that smirk at the same time. Damon can't stop but grin at her when he saw her blush. He loved it when she blushed. He lean more close to her, holding her in his arm, his nose brushing against her ear… Damon took a deep breath, inhaling her smell.

"Elena…" Damon whispered in her ear… "Oh, Elena…" Damon moaned, using his ecstatic voice. Elena looked at him with shocked expression on her face.

"Damon, stop it!" Elena hissed through gritted teeth. She couldn't believe that Damon would say such things in public. She quickly glanced around the dance floor to see if anyone had heard Damon. Then she turned to glare at Damon who was smirking at her playfully. She shook her head and bit her lip to suppress her smile. For the rest of the dance they just stare at each other with playful stupid grin on their faces.

When the dance ended, Damon held Elena's hand firmly in his hand as they walked out from the dance floor. But as soon as they got out from the dance floor, a very happy looking Caroline ran towards them.

"Elena!" Caroline called out yelling as she jumped on Elena and hugged her tightly. Elena's eyes widen as she realized that if Damon's hand wasn't there in time to hold her back, she would have landed on her ass.

"Whoa! Easy Caroline! What happened?" Elena asked as she held Caroline at arms length. Then Elena glanced at Damon who had an annoyed expression on his face.

"Elena! I've finally met him! I've met Klaus!" Caroline almost yelled as she jumped up and down with glee. Elena frowned at her.

"What? Who? Who's Klaus?" Elena asked.

"It's HIM, Elena! Klaus is my Soulmate!" Caroline said with a 'Can you believe it!' expression on her face. Elena gave her an 'I see' expression… but she was still unable to process what Caroline was telling her. Damon chuckled hearing Caroline's words.

"What's so funny Damon?" Caroline asked him, looking annoyed at him. Damon shook his head, still chuckling.

"Nothing Caroline, It's just… I was wondering if you were always this stupid", Damon said, laughing at Caroline.

"And what makes you think that I'm stupid?" Caroline asked him, raising her eyebrow at him.

"Duh… You just said that you've finally met him and you have already figured this out that he is your Soulmate", Damon said mockingly. Then he gasped, covering his mouth with his hand… "Oh wait… I just forgot that you can see the future", Damon mocked her again.

"Very funny Damon. But I'm not the stupid one here… you are. If you knew about the myth you wouldn't have asked me this", Caroline said. Elena finally sensed where the conversion was going. Oh shit! Caroline stop it… Stop it now! Elena screamed mentally.

"Oh yeah! There is a myth now?" Damon chuckled. Before Caroline could answer Elena cut her off.

"Umm… Leave it Caroline. Damon doesn't need to know about this girly stuff", Elena said, trying to avoid the conversion. Damon studied her nervous face for a moment. Hmm… is she trying to keep away something from me? Damon thought. Now, he was more curious about the whole situation.

"No, Caroline, tell me about the myth. I don't mind hearing girly stuff", Damon encouraged Caroline to tell him about the myth as he watched Elena's face turning into a pale shade.

"Oh last week I heard about the myth from a friend of mine. According to the myth, if you see someone in the midnight under the full moon on this V-day night, then it means that person is your Soulmate. And I saw Klaus that night! So, it means he is my Soulmate… Yay!" Caroline said but both Damon and Elena didn't pay any attention on her excited face. Oh ground swallow me now! Elena thought as she peeped through her eyelashes to see Damon's reactions. Damon was frowning as he tried to understand why Elena was acting that way. He turned to see her looking at him. Then all of a sudden his expression changed as he realized what that myth meant. I met her on that night under the full moon... and If I'm right it was midnight.I'm her Soulmate, then? Damon couldn't understand what to think or say as he stare at her nervous face. Hmm… my Soulmate… if that means she is mine in every way then that's totally fine with me.Damon thought staring at her intensely.

"Hey I'll talk to you guys later okay? I've to go, see my Soulmate!" Caroline said then ran off from them. Damon and Elena stared at each other for a moment. Then Damon smirked at her.

"Hmm… well that explained why you were in the balcony that night", Damon said with a knowing smile on his face as he stepped closer to her. Elena bit her lip, thinking for a moment then looked up.

"Look, I was there for fresh air", Elena told him. Damon cocked his head to one side.

"Um hmm…" Damon smirked at her. Elena rolled her eyes then gave up.

"Okay fine! I was there because your stupid sister forced me to try that stupid myth. It doesn't mean anything to me. I don't believe it", Elena said loudly, crossing her arms over her chest, trying to look very serious. Damon laughed.

"Relax Princess. I don't believe in those myth shits either. But I can't deny that I'm happy to know that You are my Soulmate", Damon smirked, raising his eyebrows. Elena giggled seeing his expression.

"Having a nice time, Brother?" They both stopped laughing as soon as they heard Stefan's voice. Damon turned to see his brother standing behind him with a fake smile on his face.

"Stefan", Damon said coldly. Elena frowned as she sensed the bitterness between the two brothers. Then she noticed Damon chuckling playfully as he patted Stefan's shoulder.

"Oh look who's back! And here I thought that you were never going to come out from the powder room after your brother stole your date", Damon said smirking. It was clear that he was trying to insult Stefan. But to his surprise, Stefan smiled at him.

"No Damon, I couldn't just fled away from here, leaving my beautiful girlfriend along with you", Stefan said smilingly as he gaze at Elena's puzzled face. Damon froze instantly. He stared at his brother with an 'Am I missing something?' face.

"Girlfriend?" Damon finally managed to say something. Stefan smiled a satisfied smile as he watched his brother's puzzled face. Elena felt like an outsider while she stood there between the two brothers. She stared at them as she tried to understand what was going on. She couldn't understand how can the two brothers stare at each other with such cold eyes.

"Yes Brother, Elena and I are together", Stefan said smilingly as if he had won some trophy. Damon stood there with an unreadable expression on his face, but he said nothing. Elena kept her mouth shut, as she couldn't decide what to say. She noticed Stefan holding out his arm towards her. Elena walked towards Stefan quietly and he warped his arm around her waist, holding her close to him. Then he kissed her hair.

"Come on, I wanna show you something", Stefan whispered in her ear. Elena looked at Damon for a moment, and then nodded her head. Stefan led her away from Damon, holding her tightly in his arm. Elena turned her head to look at Damon once again as they walked away from him. She was still very confused with the whole incident. She saw Damon glaring at Stefan. She looked apologetically at Damon, and then turned her face away from him.

Damon watched Elena and Stefan walk away from him. He stood there quietly as he felt like he was burning with rage. He couldn't think straight. Fuck, I need to kill someone! Damon thought as he felt the all consuming rage burning inside him. Girlfriend? How on earth did this happen? Fucking Hell! She has been here for a fucking week, and now she has a boyfriend? Is she a fucking freak? Damon glared at Stefan as he saw Stefan holing Elena in his arm. How am I not aware that they are together? I have hired two fucking personal agents to watch them over and that two idiot don't have a clue about this! I'm showering them with my money and all they have done, is sitting on their lazy asses and dreaming about la-la-land, while I was away for a fucking business trip? Damon thought angrily as he reached into his pocket for his phone. His fingers were twitching. He had two idiot Wilson brothers, Slater and Trevor to fire after exploding their eardrums with his own creative collection of curses. He was about to dial Trevor's number when his phone started to beep. Great! Now they probably want to give me the newsflash that my baby brother is dating Elena. Well, well it's now the public news. Now, probably they finally got the time to work their asses on their project and they got the news that has already royally screwed me over.

"Oh look! Who has finally got the time to sharpen their pencils!", he blurt out after receiving the phone without even glancing at the screen. "You two brainless morons are eating cotton candies and wandering about in A/C cars, not caring one bit about the assignment you two are being paid for, where I spent ALL the week on a mind-numbing business trip to pay your fucking bills," he yelled through his gritted teeth…

" 'Mind-numbing business trip' was it?" Shit!Damon instantly bit his tongue hearing the dear ol' familiar sound from the other side, "If I recall it correctly, you're the one Mr. Eager Beaver."

"Errr… Father?" he humbly asked stroking his forehead.

"Really? Are you that blind to even check out the caller id before you pick up and blast someone's system with your curses", Damon heard his father mocking him, on the other side of the phone.

"What is it, Father?" Damon asked.

"What IS it? I could ask you the same question, however I know the importance of my time, so I'd like to go straight to the point", Giuseppe Salvatore's heavy voice said. Damon could guess from hearing his fathers voice that he was about to get a lengthy lecture, however he couldn't remember what did he do wrong this time.

"All right, I'm listening", Damon said, preparing himself.

"Damon I want to know what is going on with you? First, you went on a business trip without any previous notice and then you return within a week, where it should have been at least a fortnight… How dare you leave an important business trip unfinished? I didn't let you be the CEO to mess with my company!" Giuseppe yelled loudly over the phone. Great! This is why I've stayed in my apartment since I've returned. Damon knew that as soon as his father gets the news of his arrival before appropriate time, he would lecture him to death. He wanted to see Elena in the morning when he arrived but he also wanted to avoid his father. That was why he had not told any of his family members about his arrival. He wondered who has informed his father about his arrival.

"Look Father, don't start with the yelling when you don't even know the whole fact. I didn't leave that important business trip unfinished. I've left from that trip when I've finished doing my job", Damon said angrily. Damon also wanted to remind his father that SEH Inc. was his family company, not His Company. Damon also wanted to remind his father that Damon was the one and only Salvatore CEO who had managed to take SEH Inc. to the top place in the whole USA, and not to mention that he had been in this company for only 5 years.

"So, you're telling me that you've done all the work in a week?" Giuseppe said. Damon smirked as he heard the surprise in his father's voice. He could tell that his father was impressed but he knew, no matter what he would never hear his father telling him that he was impressed.

"Yes, Father," Damon, said rolling his eyes in arrogance.

"Now don't feel so proud of yourself son. You have done many inappropriate things to throw mud on my face", Giuseppe said. Trust me if you piss me off any more I'll give you something to rub on your face.Damon thought angrily. He was already planning how to piss his farther off.

"Like what?" Damon asked.

"Like what you've done with Miss Gilbert!" Giuseppe screamed. What the fuck! I haven't done anything with her! Damon's eyes widen. But you want to do so many things with her, don't you? His Badness smirked. He wondered worriedly if his father had sensed the near future.

"What are you talking about, Father?" Damon asked worriedly.

"Damon, I will not tolerate your misbehavior this time. How dare you humiliated our guest and your brother in front of everyone! You better apologize to both of them. Do you hear me?" Giuseppe yelled angrily from the other side of the phone.

"Hmm... So, my Baby Brother wasted no time telling our dear Father how his brother humiliated our girl. Ahh... Baby Brother sure did live up to my expectations", Damon mocked. So, that was why baby brother was missing from the party when I was dancing with Elena!

"Look Damon I know you won't apologize to your brother but I want you to apologize to Elena", Giuseppe said.

"Father, I suggest you to dig a little into the whole matter before you start yelling at someone. Ask her if I've humiliated her", Damon said then cut the phone line before his father could say something. Damon ran his fingers through his hair. He felt like he would lose his control over himself as rage filled his whole mind. He was murderously angry. He looked up and the fast thing he saw was enough to cross his limit. He saw Them dancing together in the dance floor. Damon stormed out from the party. The he let his temper took control over himself. He wanted to piss his father off. He needed to release all those stress he was getting since his brother had told him about his new relationship. He smirked cruelly as he got a nasty idea to piss his father off and release his stress at the same time. Damn! I need a fuck…
