Elena POV

"I missed you, Kitten. Promise me the next day we fight we won't avoid each other for 3 fucking days cause that's hell," he said with a chuckle.

"And what, Mr. Salvatore should we do next time," I asked.

"Well I say we just skip the apologizes and have crazy make up sex…speaking of crazy hot make up sex, why are we still here? With clothes on?" he said as he picked me up, threw me over his shoulder, and started heading for his bedroom.

"Damon put me down! I swear to god I'll get you back for this!" I yelled as he threw me onto his bed.

"Ohh kitten don't worry. We wont be doing anything you won't enjoy…I promise," he said he climbed on top of me, already undressed, starting only the very beginning, to a long day and night of making up to do.

Elena POV

As I woke up I felt happier than I have in days and it's all because of one person—Damon…my Damon. God that feels so great to be able to call him mine, all mine. As I watched Damon I realized how innocent he truly looks while he sleeps, it's not that he looks any less manly—he just looks so peaceful. I can't help but want him and need him and lo—love him. Oh my god! I love him. My thoughts were soon interrupted by a waking Damon.

"You're staring," he said smiling with his eyes stilled closed as I kept admiring him.

"I'm gazing," I said as I ran a hand down his naked chest.

"It's creepy," he said now looking me in my eyes.

"It's cute," I said as he smirked then began pecking my nose, cheeks, and forehead then finally what I've been waiting for since the moment I woke up, my lips.

Damon POV

As I kissed Elena all over, I couldn't help but hear her from mentioning that I look so cute when I sleep. Me. Damon Salvatore cute? I don't think so.

"I'm sorry what was that?" I questioned.

"I said, you look so cute and innocent when you sleep," she said as she nuzzled her face in her pillows.

"Haven't we been through this before? Damon Salvatore is not cute or innocent. Dashing, gorgeous, hot, sexy, sure. But cute? Abso-fucking-lutely never," I said sternly.

"Hmm well I still think you're cute and innocent…whatchya gonna do about it?" She teased.

"Well if I remember correctly, if I just move my fingers right here," I said as my hands rested on her stomach. "And move em' around a bit," I said as I began tickling her like crazy.

Elena POV

"Da..Damon…stop…sto..it..n..now," I yelled as he continued to tickle me.

"I don't know kitten, you've been a bad girl now take it back and this'll all end," He said as there was no way I would be able to stop him from tickling me at this point.

"Fine! Fine, fine fine! I take it back!" I yelled as I felt his finger movements come to a stop.

"Huff," I said as I settled down on the bed.

"Tired already? We just woke up and we haven't even had morning sex yet so lets go kitten, get ready!" he said as he pulled me on top of him and my morning officially started.

*3 hours later*

"I'm home!" I yelled as I walked into the house heading straight for the kitchen where someone would most likely be.

"Hey Lena I'm glad you're here because I have something important to talk about with you," she said with a smile.

"Uhh yeah sure. What's up?" I asked.

"Well as you know me and Ric have been pretty serious for a while and although everything's happening very quickly uhh…we're…we…we're—" she began.

"Just spit it out Jenna," I said.

"We're getting married," she said simply.

"Oh my god Jenna! That's amazing! I'm so happy for you guys!" I said as I hugged her.

"Really? You're not mad or anything?" she asked as I pulled back from the hug.

"Mad? Why the hell would I be mad? I'm so excited and happy! Oh my god you're getting married! Yayy!" I yelled hugging her again.

Damon POV

I don't think I've ever been happier than I am right now, I thought as I cooked dinner for Elena and I. It's what? 6:30 pm, she should be here any second. Anyway, I really like her—I…I think…I know…I love her. Like really love her. My thoughts were interrupted when I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist and immediately knew it was my girl.

"Hey baby," I heard Elena whisper against my back.

"Hi Kitten," I said turning around to face her. "Dinner's almost ready m'lady," I said as I leaned in for a kiss.

"Mmm," she moaned as the kiss heated up and we were now making out, her against the island with my hands firmly holding her hips.

"Baby. Babe. Elena," I said between kisses. "This is amazing and I'd love more than anything to fuck you against this counter, but dinner's just about done and you need to eat so do me a favor and go wait at the table so I'm not tempted to fuck you right here right now," I said as I pecked her lips once more.

"Ughh fine. I'm super hungry anyways," she said with her hands on my chest.

"Good. Now go kitten," I said smacking her ass as she turned.

After dinner was ready I walked over to the table with two plates of chicken parmesan, the wine already poured and at the table. Immediately, we both started digging into our plates.

"Mmm god this is amazing!" she exclaimed.

"Would you have expected any less from me?" I questioned with a smirk.

"Ohh god. And he's back," she said with a laugh.

"I don't like to stay hidden for too long," I said taking another bite of my food.

"Don't. Don't ever hide from me. I promise I wont if you wont," she said grabbing my hand.

"I promise. But hey, if he didn't disappear sometimes you know you'd go mad," I said smiling.

"I love you just the way you are," she said looking at me then straight down to the plate.

"You—you love me?" I asked as I reached for her chin and softly lifted her face.

"I..I do. I'm sorry I shouldn't have just blurted that out I mean we just officially got together and now I'm ruining things by running my mouth and not thinking," she said.

"I love you too," I said looking her straight in the eyes. "I've been thinking of a way to tell you all day but I just didn't know how," I said, then all at once, she was in my lap and we were in a deeply passionate kiss which quickly turned into a make out session and when we finally pulled back from the kiss, we were in my room and I knew exactly what was going to happen tonight. Elena and I weren't going to have a meaningful fuck like always, we were going to make love.
