AN: So thank you to everyone for the reviews and the story alerts! I'm glad you all liked it. I didn't get as many reviews as usual, but I guess if I was doing badly my story wouldn't be getting favorite alerts. This is mainly filler chapter with lots of Delena. So here's the next chapter, hope you like it!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own TVD or any TVD characters.
Chapter: 10
It had been two weeks since their encounter with Katherine, and they hadn't heard or seen her since. Damon knew she wouldn't stay away long, she was waiting for the perfect opportunity. They both agreed to not let her hold them back. Elena was finally able to return to work she decided to do something different for a while, so she decided to get a job as bartender at the grill. Working for Matt was a little weird, but she found it oddly fun.
Damon's career on the other hand took off. He had one both of the huge cases he was working on, and his firm's reputation was quickly rising. He still refused to devote all his time to work; he simply could not bring himself to spend less time with Elena.
Elena entered the little café and looked around for Caroline or Bonnie. Caroline asked that she meet Bonnie and her there for some 'girl' time. Elena couldn't bring herself to decline. Once she spotted her friends she walked over to join them.
"I already ordered you a drink." Caroline said.
"Thanks."
"So what's the big news?" Elena asked.
Caroline beamed and let out a little giggle.
"Well, I got the promotion!"
Caroline squealed followed by Elena and Bonnie.
"That's great Car! Congrats!"
"But there is some bad news. I kind of have to move to Chicago."
"Seriously?"
"Yes, don't get me wrong I'm happy extremely happy. I'm just going to be upset that I have to leave home, and won't be as close to you guys."
"Well, as long as you're happy. What about Tyler?" Elena asked.
"He's fine with it. He's going to get transferred out there. We're going to live together!"
"Wow, that's great! When are you leaving?"
"Friday, so I have to start packing like tomorrow. I also have to look for an apartment, but I can do that on line so I should be able to have at least a few days to spend just us girls!"
The following days Elena spent her time helping Caroline pack and spent time with her before Caroline had to leave. During this time the only time she saw Damon, was when him and Tyler would stop by to see how things were going or when Tyler would supposedly have to ask Caroline a question which was usually something stupid like 'hey do you remember where I put my grey wife beater.' It was usually painfully obvious that the boys just missed their girls.
The night before Caroline and Tyler were to leave the three couples had a get together at the boarding house. They weren't sure when they would be able to have one again.
Caroline and Elena were dancing their asses off, and at this point they were spilling more than they were drinking.
"Baby, its 1:30 a.m. our plane leaves at 12:15 I think we should head to bed." Tyler says as he takes her drink and sets it on the table.
Caroline pouted as Tyler grabbed her things.
"See you later guys."
Tyler yelled as they walked out the door.
Damon leaned against the wall watching Elena continue to dance around in circles, giggling and singing along with the song.
The music came to a halt; Elena stopped and looked at the stereo.
"Why did you turn it off?"
Damon didn't reply as he turned away from her and messed with the stereo.
A few seconds later a slow soft melody filled the room. Elena looked at Damon questioningly as he slowly walked over to her. Once he stood in front of her he pulled her into him, Elena wrapped her arms around Damon's neck and Damon wrapped his arms around her waist and they began to sway around the room.
'Watching every motion in my foolish lover's game Take my breath away '
On this endless ocean finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say
"I wanted to dance with my girl" He whispered in her ear.
Elena smiled and kissed his cheek.
'Watching I keep waiting still anticipating love Take my breath away'
Never hesitating to become the fated ones
turning and returning to some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say
Damon was softly singing along with the song into Elena's ear, sending chills down her spine.
"Do you remember this song?"
She looked at him and nodded.
"Yes, It was the first song we danced to at Jenna and Ric's wedding. I can't believe you remembered that"
'Through the hourglass I saw you, in time you slipped away Take my breath away'
when the mirror crashed I called you, and turned to hear you say
If only for today I am unafraid
"Why wouldn't I remember it?"
"You're a guy, sorry but usually they don't remember those sort of things."
"Oh, well usually I wouldn't, but that night you seriously did take my breath away, Ironic that that was the song they was playing isn't it?"
Elena giggled and nodded.
"Well, you had the same effect on me, so I guess it was meant to be our song."
Damon smiled and they continued dancing around the living room, staring into each other's eyes.
'Watching I keep waiting still anticipating love Take my breath away'
Never hesitating to become the fated ones
turning and returning to some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say
"I love you so much." Damon whispered to her.
His expression was so raw and intense that it almost caused her to cry. She knew that he was being honest with her. She smiled at him and cupped his cheek.
"I love you so much too Damon."
Elena's lips crashed onto Damon's. Damon's hands began roaming her body as she pulled away to breath their noses still touching.
"Move in with me?" He whispered.
Elena was stunned. Did he really just ask her to move in with him?
"What?"
"Move in with me." He spoke a little louder.
Elena's mouth dropped as she stared into his eyes. He was drop dead serious.
And it sent her head spinning, her breathing picked up as her heart beat began to race.
