Just Not The Time

"Wakey, wakey sunshine!" Elena woke up to find Damon sitting beside her window.

"What time is it Damon?"

"9am." Elena groaned and hugged her pillow. In a flash Damon had zoomed up next to her and made her jump.

"Damon don't do that!"

"You know you secretly love it." Elena and Damon exchanged looks. "Elena, we need to talk."

"About what?"

"About us." Elena was silent. She had strong, positive feelings for Damon, and there was no denying it. She loved Damon, but was she prepared to be in a relationship with him? She had already been in a relationship with one Salvatore brother… and how did that end? He became Klaus' little pet, that's how. She looked at Damon who was still waiting to find out if the girl he'd loved since his return to Mystic Falls loved him back. Elena went back to her thoughts. Damon had protected her. Always. Yeah, of course Stefan did as well… but not as much as Damon did. Damon was prepared to face up Elijah went she went on her suicide mission, Stefan was clueless. Damon had risked her hating him for the rest forever just so she would come back after the sacrifice. "Damon. I love you… but I don't know if I'm ready to commit to anything just yet."

"I get it. The whole Klaus thing. Maybe when it's blown over we could…"

"Maybe Damon. Let's just meet Elijah and get this thing over and done with." Damon gave a quick nod. He looked miserable on the outside, but he was happy on the inside. The girl he loved had just returned his feelings for him. He was happier than he had ever been in his whole entire life. As Elena was just about to lead Damon out of her bedroom so she could get dressed, her phone rang. "It's Bonnie." Elena smiled at Damon. She answered her phone.

"Where are you Elena?"

"I'm at home. Are you with LeeAnn?"

"Nope, she said she'll meet us at the church tonight."

"Okay. What are you up to today?"

"I'm busy." Elena looked at Damon with a concerned look on her face. She knew Damon was listening. Damon mouthed to her 'Busy doing what?'.

"Busy doing what?" Elena repeated down the phone.

"Homework." Elena was officially concerned now. Bonnie never did homework; she'd always copy off Elena at the last minute.

"Bonnie. What are you doing?" Bonnie gave a sigh down the phone.

"I'm tracking down Katherine."

"What? Why on earth would you do that?"

"Because… it doesn't matter. See you tonight." Bonnie hung up.

"Katherine? Why does Bonnie want to know where that bitch is?"

"Damon. I'm worried. She'd never do something like that on her own!"

"I know Elena, I know." Damon hugged Elena and kissed her forehead. Elena lifted her head and looked Damon in the eye.

"Now's just not the time for romance Damon, as much as I want it to be just you, me and a romantic night out… It can't. Not until I know that Klaus isn't around to hurt you or anyone else I love." Damon smiled and hugged his lips around hers. He picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. "I love you." Elena whispered into Damon's ear.

"I love you too." Damon hugged Elena as they're lips continued to hug each other.

"Sorry to interrupt, but we have a hybrid to kill." Elena and Damon looked up to find LeeAnn leaning against Elena's bedroom door.

"Well aren't you two getting cosy." Damon got off of Elena and stood up.

"And you're here because?"

"Because Bonnie isn't returning my calls! She was supposed to meet me at the Grill this morning."

"She said we weren't seeing you until tonight." Elena interrupted. "Something's wrong!"

"Yeah no kidding! Where's the other brother?" LeeAnn looked up from Damon to Elena.

"BONNIE!" Elena rushed down the stairs and ran out the front door.
