Chapter 10

I walked down the long hallway wearing my new ring... It felt different wearing it... I was so used to the one I wore that bore my love to Damon as the mistake that everyone had called it once in Vegas two months ago... I know two months is still a short time to be going out before you get married to someone but with Damon it was different... I knew him for two years, of those two years I was on and off dating his brother going through life or death situations but I still knew... Damon was the man I loved... He loved me and I had known that for so long, but before our Vegas adventure I couldnt admit to myself that I loved him as well. I knew it was there somewhere but admitting it was hard... I looked up at my ring again... It was definitelly more modern, and had more diamonds on it. I didnt need all this pampering but Damon sure thought I did...

"Damon I love you." He smiled at me a real smile.. It was sweet something I never got to see.

"I love you Elena." I cracked a grin bigger than I had thought was possible. "Who do you want to tell first..." That had never even crossed my mind... Who should I tell first. Jeremy? Ric? Caroline? Bonnie? Who should I tell... I guess I should tell Jeremy and Ric together...

"Jeremy and Ric... But I want to tell them in person. Jeremy kind of knows but its been a while... This will be official..." I smiled and moved closer to him I kissed him lightly and danced away... I was ecstatic...

"Hey Elena whats up?" Jeremy asked me. Ric stepped in the doorway right behind him...

"Come in come in." I said.

"You seem a little eager Elena everything ok?" Alaric said.

"Just sit down... Drink anyone." Damon said going over to the bar... He had champagne hidden in there somewhere but he didnt have it there right away because we wanted to tell them first...

"I m pretty sure well all need one..." Ric said. Damon got us all drinks and then came to sit back down next to me. He put his hand on my thigh and rubbed it carefully.

"Well we know you cant be pregnant so whats up..." Jeremy said. I snickered at him before getting back to my amazing mood.

"Well I dont know how to really put this but Damon and I are engaged. " I held out my hand with the engagement ring on it. Damon and Alaric looked shocked to say the least. "I know you could say that this is a short amount of time because weve only been dating for two months but if you think about it weve known each other for two years... Ive loved him for most of that time..." Damon and Ric looked uneasy with the situation..

"So you and her are engaged..." Ric said quietly. He didnt know the half of it.

"I guess its better to know that youre actually staying together... And Im going to get to be part of the wedding..." Jeremy said spilling the beans.

"What do you mean?" Ric said before he was cut off.

"Elena and I" was damon really saying this... "we got married in Vegas... We were drunk and didnt remember most of it... It all came back to us but in the end it was out of love. I let her have the desicion and she chose to make it look like we were dating for a while and after a while when it was right we would get married. It was her choice because if it was up to me I would have her been mine a long time ago." He let his guard down in front of Ric and Jeremy and I smiled... I moved closer to him and they looked surprised yet ok.

"Well then. I am very surprised, I would not have suspected that even though I did suspect something was up." Ric said... " Congratulations." Ric put his hand out to Damon and they shook hands and then we hugged.

"If you ever hurt her I will stake you..." Jeremy said trying to sound like a protective brother.

"She would have to leave me." Damon said keeping the walls down... " Now how bout some champagne?" There was the mask again which i didnt mind he normally didnt show it to anyone but me.

"Sounds good to me!" I said. "Let me just go make a few calls, I didnt tell anyone else yet..." I walked outside the room to go call Caroline, and Bonnie.

"Bonnie im engaged... " I waited and then she mumbled something.
"Congrats Elena! You two are really cute together no matter how much I dont like him hes better with you... Are you at the boarding house?"
"Yes."
"Be there soon !" She hung up... That was too peppy for my taste... But then again shed been prepping herself for this for a while now...

I called Caroline next just to see whatd she say.

"Hello." It was Stefan...

"Hi.. Is caroline there?" We were on good terms now, we could exist in the same room and hold a normal conversation without things getting awkward so everything was ok to that extent.

"Yes give her a minute..." After a minute Caroline answered.

"Caroline here!"

"Im engaged Caroline..." I waited for the response once again which felt like a lifetime.

"Oh My God! I wondered when this would really happen I knew that you were kind of married but it wasnt a real wedding so oh my god really! Well be back in two seconds boarding house right? Stefan Stefan! " The line went dead and I knew shed be back in a couple of minutes... This was going to be fun dresses and places and people all together in town for a special occasion.

The only thing is, if they werent so accepting before why were they all of a sudden...

I wanted to leave you with a happy story for once but a little clifffhanger... What will happen... Are they telling the truth are they really happy for her? What will Stefan think? Review please!
