-WHAT?-Elena asked astonished. If you really stopped to think about it you could say she was a bit hysterical.

Damon groaned in frustration. Why did she had to remember Stefan right NOW? Couldn't she waited a few hours( okay, maybe less) until they were finished doing…?

-Yes darling. Stefan's at the tomb.-

-I heard you the first time Damon. What I want to know is why is he there?- Elena wasn't really mad, specially at Damon, but all the strong emotions inside her made her sound extremely pissed.

-Well… the whys and hows are hard to explain. It's all a little fuzzy...-

Elena looked at him suspiciously. She knew him like the palm of her hand.- What are you not telling me Damon Salvatore? You're not such a good liar.-

Damon was the best liar ever, but somehow Elena could always see through him. He could never lie to her. He guessed it was because she had a part of him- his heart. But this time he had to try. – I really don't know Elena. Why Stefan is in there doesn't matter. We have to get him out.-

-Of course it matters Damon!- Elena was yelling. He had never seen her like that. He knew Elena had feelings for Stefan, but he didn't know it was that big of a deal.- Why are you acting like that? You're not rational Elena. I might or may not know why he is there but why is that such a big deal? The fact remains the same: ..THERE. AND WE HAVE TO GET HIM OUT!- Damon was also yelling.

Elena was afraid of him. She had never seen him like that. She didn't know how to respond. Her fear was quickly changing into rage and she couldn't control it any longer.-WHY THE HELL ARE YOU YELLING? DO YOU OR DO YOU NOT KNOW WHY HE IS IN THERE?- The menace in her words was crystal clear.

-YES Elena, I do know why Stefan is in there. But you know why I won't tell you. It's none of your damn business. You rejected him. You chose ME . Do you want to change your mind? Go right ahead. Go ask your precious Stefan what he's doing in the tomb with Katherine. Ask him what the hell he is doing there, why he is not with you here and, more importantly, LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!-

His words were like a slap on her face. She was speechless and frightened. That was not at all the reaction she was expecting. She wasn't asking all of this question because she was still in love with Stefan. She loved Damon. She had chosen him, and why Stefan was in the tomb didn't really matter. It was just the surprise of it. She had to ask questions to try to understand the whole situation. She needed to ask them to try to make her mind process her situation. Her only reaction was crying.

Damon had started to leave the room. He ignored his desire to wrap his arms around her and comfort her. He loved her so much it hurt, but he was so angry right now he could barely think. Yes he knew she loved him- she had proved that, but what sane man wouldn't be jealous? His passion was so great that the bad feelings came as a side effect.

Elena saw him leaving and she knew that if he got out of the house it would be a while before she saw him again. He was an extremely impulsive person and a proud one. He wouldn't apologize first. She was also a proud person but even she had to admit that the whole situation was a bit of her fault. Besides, she didn't want to lose the man she loved because of some stupid fight. So she did the first thing that came to mind: she ran after him.

-Damon wait!- She was running through the house, running towards the love of her life.

Damon was already at the door, going for his black car.-Why?- he didn't even bother turning around to answer her. He knew it was wrong but he was still so mad he couldn't act politely.

-Because I love YOU, you idiot.- She was at the bottom of the stairs and waited to see his next move. He turned around and she took that as a good sign and decided to take the opportunity. She ran towards him, but her excitement made her trip on her feet.

She was about to reach the floor when strong, hard arms caught her. She looked up and his face was very close to hers. She didn't even think about it, just went ahead and acting on impulse kissed Damon straight on the moth, trying to put all of her love into one kiss. It was a difficult mission, but she must have had success because after a while the strong arms around her tightened the embrace and the lips she impulsively kissed were kissing her back just as fiercely.

After a while of kissing Damon remembered Elena was just human and needed air. He reluctantly pulled away and allow the love of his existence to breath. After catching her breath Elena gave Damon a meaningful look that made Damon pick her up and take her to his bedroom faster than a heartbeat. There he quickly took her clothes of, pretty much ripping them apart and then moved on to his own. Before humanly possible they resumed what they were doing before thoughts of Stefan crept in.

Of course he was still on the back of their minds: Elena was still worried about him, but she knew that he would be alright for a while longer. This moment was important to her current relationship. Damon was also worried about his brother, but he knew the reason he was there and a while longer in the tomb would be okay, because, after all he was there because of his own stupidity. Besides, a while longer with Stefan would make Katherine extremely happy, and a happy bitch was an easy bitch.

And so, with Stefan momentarily forgotten, Elena and Damon took the next step on their relationship.
