Chapter Nine

D.P.O.V

"Wow, that fast?" Rose said shockingly as I repeated Elena's actions last night. It was a shock that her body responded to mine last night as I went to kiss her; it was a normal move for me. Elena and I had this thing; I would kiss her because she looked so damn sexy and then she would push me away in disgust slapping me or something like that instead she kissed me back with a lot of force I might add.

That was not a normal Elena move. Something had changed with Elena in a small amount of days. I'm not saying she has feelings for me but there is something. I just knew I shouldn't get my hopes up with things that might not happen.

"Hmm," I said, not looking Rose in the eyes. Avoiding her would be the best move.

"Earth to Damon. But you know what this means right? It means I am right. She loves you!" Rose said all gooey eyed. What the fuck!

"Since when does a 450 old vampire turn into a blonde pigtailed high school girl?" I mocked. It was true she was so happy with something that hadn't even happened yet. It was clear she was a romantic at heart. I bet before she got all vamped up, she kept a diary of her dream wedding, with the non existent prince charming and the ugly meringue dress that she more than likely designed my hand.

"Hey, don't knock it! It's dead romantic. Damon- shut-off-his-humanity Salvatore is going to get the girlfriend he loves. It's so sweet, I might cry," Rose said with a giggle.

I felt like getting a large bottle of whisky and knocking her out with it; well, I would do that if it weren't for the fact that as soon as the bottle left my hand, she would catch it. She would be able to hear the speed of it, which just sucked big time. Vampires; hard to hurt without shoving a stake right through their heart.

"Two things I need to remind you of before you get too ahead of yourself…like you already are. A) She isn't my girlfriend and she won't be because she HAS a boyfriend; Saint Stefan, my brother and B) I haven't even had a chat with her yet. No one is going to talk to her about this before I do, because if you do, I will be very handy with that stake over there and you know full well that I will do that!" I said eyeing the stake planted nice and safe next to my whisky bottles.

"She isn't your girlfriend—yet," Rose muttered and walked away utterly pleased with herself. Damon knew she still was arranging plans; this was like some bad gothic rom- com with the human, the vamp and then the distraction- lover making plans for said vamp to get with the human.

Elena hadn't moved from her bed all day. The clock read 15:00; she gently put her fingers against her lip as a reminder of the events of yesterday at the boarding house. Elena had replayed what happened in her head a thousand times over. She felt like she had started it even though he had kissed her but it was normal for Damon she should have pushed him away, but she couldn't. It was like fire and passion on her lips; she wasn't in control of her own body, her body had responded and she liked it.

She liked how it felt to have Damon's body pressed up against hers; she liked how Damon's hands running all down her body gave her chills. It was passionate and sweet. It was a glimpse of how it could be if her and Damon were together, if she wasn't with Stefan.

However Elena didn't want to think about being with Damon, it was just a kiss, a passionate, romantic, sweet, adorable kiss! There she went again, thinking about the kiss, about how good Damon's lips felt against hers.

But Stefan would notice something was wrong if she ignored the world for a day, like any normal 17 year old she checked her BlackBerry for news that was outside of her bedroom.

1 new message Elena was scared to read this new message, scared of what it would say. Had Damon told Stefan what had happened? God knows Damon wanted more than anything to be with her, but would he stoop this low, ruin her relationship which would lead to hers and Damon's friendship.

Elena,

We have got to talk about this; I've gotten Rose to take Stefan away for a few hours. Come round I will be waiting

The dreaded confrontation had come much too soon.

Elena got into her car and did the normal drive to the Salvatore boarding house, but in fact, it felt like it was 10 times longer because her heart was thudding an unusual rhythm. Elena was beyond scared.

Damon wasn't lying, Stefan's car had in fact gone, and Rose had provided him with a distraction somehow. Elena wished she could have a temporary distraction too, that wouldn't involve kissing Stefan's older yet dashing brother.

Damon had held open the door for her; he looked serious, like he wanted to do business. But they both knew that this obviously was a serious conversation that needed to be had.

"Where shall we go?" Elena asked. Yes, where exactly would they have this conversation?

"The lounge will be more than perfect," Damon gestured with his hand, towards the couch where the kiss flooded into Elena's mind again.

Elena sat down, and Damon sat down real close to her, which made Elena feel more than awkward.

Elena could feel Damon's piercing gorgeous blue eyes on her face; he just wanted her to look into his. Elena knew she had to do just that for this conversation to begin before it ended. So, Elena looked at Damon and once again Damon's signature grin was featured on his face which made Elena smile.

"Now that I have your undivided attention, Miss Gilbert," he joked…and then the serious expression was back on his face.

"You kissed me," Damon simply said, it was a fact.

"Actually your lips pressed against mine first, Damon; so don't go there," I warned, that was true also.

"Yes, but you kissed me back. You're Elena; you don't do things like that,"Damon said all matter-of-factly.

"I know I don't, Damon, I just... I don't know…you were lying on top of me tickling, and then I don't know it was just that kiss. It was probably because my lips haven't touched yours before; it was different. Let's just forget it, ok?" she said.

That was the biggest load of crap that Elena had ever said. Lips not touching, that's why she reacted in that way? Who would believe that?

"Seriously Elena?" Damon said clearly amused at Elena's attempt at lying. It was down right hilarious, Elena blushed, looked awkward. She could never be an actress that much was for sure.

"I'm sure you've kissed more than one boy than Stefan, Matt for example! And that's bullshit and we both know it. You responded that way because you are attracted to me," Damon stated, making it sound simple.

Elena sighed, defeated. It was useless trying to deny or fight it.

"Ok, Damon. Does this make you happy? Yes, I'm attracted to you, and it's annoying. Really annoying! I get nervous around you and I don't like it, I don't like feeling on edge all the time. It just sucks!" Elena admitted, partly rambling, while Damon just sat there in shock at the truth of her words.

"So what do you want to do about this? Are we both going to ignore each other until the awkwardness dies down, because that is bullshit too? You, Elena, are attracted to me and you know it. You may not have feelings for me; well what I mean is feelings like I feel for you. But there's something here between us and ignoring it is not going to do anyone any good" Damon said. It was obvious he felt strongly about this issue. The idea of ignoring Elena for even a little while caused him physical and emotional damage.

He had to see her, even if they were just friends. But they had come so far, could it go all the way? Who knows?

"You're right, Damon. I hate it, but yes you are right I can't stomach this. I've never felt this passion, intensity, its so freaking strong! I don't even have this with Stefan, my boyfriend for Christ sake and Damon I don't know what to do with it. Your right, we can't simply ignore it" Elena admitted.

Damon felt his emotions coming through strongly; he knew that Elena had basically confessed everything she had been feeling he couldn't control what he did next.

Right there, Damon simply looked at her and smashed his lips against hers and he took control. Once again, Elena was responding, it was heated. It was more than last time. She was going to go all the way with Stefan's brother. She didn't care, this lust was too much to simply ignore. Elena wanted him bad. She wasn't thinking of her boyfriend who was currently away with Rose. Elena needed him. And she needed him now.

Elena quickly removed Damon's top till she was faced with his glorified muscled chest. In the moment Damon lifted her up so her legs were on either side of him; she could feel Damon fully erect against her chest.

Then Damon led her up to the bedroom. His bedroom.

A/N- We will be continuing this lovely little scene next chapter.
