Chapter 10

I began to slowly wake up, I opened my eyes and Damon was laying on his side staring at me.

"Good morning sweetheart." He said as he cupped my face with his hand.

"Good morning." I said smiling. "I will be right back." I said getting out of bed.

"Where are you going?" Damon said right behind me.

I grabbed my toothbrush out of my tote bag and held it up to him. He followed me down the hall to the bathroom and waited outside the door while I brushed my teeth and went to the bathroom.

"Are you hungry?" He asked as I walked out of the bathroom. "I can make you some breakfast again."

"No I am not hungry right now." I answered as I followed him back to the bedroom.

"So, I was hoping you would stay home from school again today."

"Why "I asked as I got back into the bed under the blankets.

"Well if you go to school I am going to feel the need to be close by. If you are safely at home I can cover some more ground."

"Well my aunt is away for a few days a so it shouldn't be a big deal to miss again."

"OK. Good." He turned in the bed to face me. "So do you want to talk about what happened last night?"

"Um not really."

I couldn't take it anymore Damon was just laying there looking incredibly sexy and he was staring at me with his gorgeous blue eyes like he wanted me just as much as I wanted him. I never felt this heat with Stefan, sure it was romantic but with Damon it was just so much passion and heat. I used to laugh when people would say there was no heat in a relationship but now I understood, once you had something this powerful it would be impossible to go back to something without it.

I moved myself closer to Damon and leaned in to give him what I meant to be a quick kiss on the lips. But he of course had other plans. When I tried to pull away he moved with me so our lips would not separate. He put his hand behind my head so he could deepen the kiss. He traced my bottom lip with his tongue and I immediately separated my lips to allow him in. He backed away slightly but his face was still very close to mine.

"So when should I go home?" I asked him smiling.

"In a little while." Damon paused and looked away from me for the first time since I woke up.

"What is it?" I asked starting to get nervous. "Is it the vampire?" I asked sitting up.

"It's Stefan."

"Stefan? Like as in…he is here?!"

"Yup." He said getting out of bed. "I'll go great him…you…may want to change." he said walking out the door.

I jumped out of bed and took my shorts off put on a pair of panties and the jeans I had in my tote. I put on my bra under my tank top and threw on my shoes. I took a deep breath and walked out of his room and down the stairs. As I was coming down the stairs I could hear Damon tell Stefan that He had came to my house a few hours ago and brought me back here so he could rest for a little while. I knew he made sure I was within hearing distance so I could know the story.

"Hi Stefan." I said walking into the living room.

Stefan immediately turned and came up to me. "Hi!" He said giving me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. When I pulled out of the hug I looked behind Stefan and Damon was gone.

"Where did Damon go?"

"Oh." Stefan said looking behind him. "I don't know…probably up to his room."

"So how was your….your trip?"

"Well, first I was just trying to help Anna with the different paper work Pearl would need. Then Anna had asked if I could stay and help her get Pearl adjusted to the time….sorry I didn't really call but…"

"No, it is fine. I understand."

"I know I probably should have come back when I heard about that vampire but I figured you would be safe with Damon. And he reassured me he would take care of you."

"He did." I said fighting back my smile.

"I can go with you to school if you want."

"I am not going to school today." I said sounding very distracted. "I am tired, I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. " Which was a total lie; I had the best night's sleep last night.

"OK. Well I will come with you back to your place then I'll come back here and see what I can do to help Damon."

As much as I didn't want Stefan to come with me, I wasn't stupid, there was a vampire out there that had some obsession with me and probably wanted to kill me so I wasn't about to go alone. "OK." I said walking to the front door.

The whole way home I was trying to think of what to say. I knew I had to tell Stefan. After all that happened I couldn't deny my feelings for Damon anymore, and I didn't want to be Katherine. I had to find away to be straight about it and not lead him on….at least not for long. I needed some time to figure out what I would even say to him. We arrived at my house. We got out of the car and Stefan stood in front of my car until I was safely in my house.

I ran upstairs and opened my phone to a blank text message and began typing. 'where did you disappear to??' I selected Damon's name and hit send. After an hour my phone finally buzzed with a message. 'just thought I'd give you some alone time with your boyfriend." It made me mad to read that, did he really think after all that has happened the past few days I would just forget about it the minute I saw Stefan. I hit reply and began to type back. 'come over please'

A few minutes there was a slight knock at my window so I ran over and opened it.

"Hey." I said quietly.

"Hello."

"Why did it take you an hour to respond to me?" I asked walking over to my bed and sitting down.

"Elena, what do you want? I do have a vampire to kill."

"Damon." I said looking down at my lap.

"Look Elena, Stefan is home." He paused as he knelt down in front of me and lifted my chin with one of his fingers. "I don't want to repeat history."

I looked into his beautiful blue eyes. "Damon, I love you."

Damon let go of my chin and stood up. "Elena, I don't want this." He said as he turned around to look out my window. "I don't want to share another women with my brother."

I was confused at first until I realized I never told him that I didn't want both of them, I just wanted him.

"Damon, I don't want Stefan." I said getting up from the bed and walking up behind him. I grabbed his arm and pulled on it so he knew I wanted him to turn around. "I want the person that wanted to 'know me', I want the person that cooked me breakfast, I want the person who said they would stay if I wanted them to, I want the person who was running around for nearly 24 hours straight trying to protect me, I want you…only you."

OK I know I am evil for leaving it there lol but the next chapter will be up soon I promise!!! PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
