"Damon… Damon wake up," Elena called kissing his cheek. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her down next to him, burying his head to the pillow.

"I don't want to… Stay here and look pretty could you?" Damon asked moving his head so he was face to face with her.

"I need to go home sooner or later, lover boy." Elena answered laughing as she tried to get up from the mattress. She was wearing his button-up shirt from the night before and blushed when she saw her dress and underwear covering the floor by his bed.

"The latter would be better." Damon said pulling her down again. She sighed and laid back down facing him.

"I made breakfast." Elena stated.

"Get up, sweetheart, we have to go!" Damon replied jumping up from the bed and pulling her up with him. Elena let out a small laugh and followed him to the kitchen. "The breakfast doesn't wait! Come on!"

Katherine Pierce was sitting on the bed of her hotel room. She stared at the slowly breathing lump under her blanket. The thoughts of last nigh filled her mind and she sighed. She rose from the bed and started to put on her clothes and then after that she called the room service.

"Yeah, two large coffees, two bagels and a fruit plate, please." Katherine told to the person who was taking her order. She thanked the boy on the other side of the line again and hung up the phone. She sat down the small sofa close to the bed and switched on the flat screen TV on the wall and started to flick through the channels, trying to find something good enough to watch before Mason wakes up and the breakfast arrives.

15 minutes later there was a knock on the door. Katherine walked to the door and paid the man and accepted their breakfast. She grabbed another one of the coffee mugs and walked to Mason. She held the mug in front of his face trying to wake him up with the scent of coffee. She knew how much Mason loved caffeine and it didn't take long for him to open his eyes and sit up.

"Morning gorgeous," Mason whispered sleepily and took the mug from Katherine, "For me?" He asked before taking a sip.

"Yeah," Katherine stated walking away to get the tray.

"I don't want to sound idiotic but… Why did you call me last night? There has to be something you want." Mason asked as he bent to get grapes from the tray.

"There has to be a reason for me to call a sexy man over in the evening when I am alone in a big, dark hotel room with nothing to do?" Katherine asked taking a bite of her bagel.

"Kat… There is always something going on when you want to meet me. Don't try to fool me."

"Try to fool you? Why would I do that?" Katherine asked looking shocked.

"Why do you always have to answer with questions?"

"Do I really answer with questions? You seem to notice everything, don't you?"

"Okay stop that and tell me what you're up to." Mason demanded turning to the woman by his side.

"Okay, the deal is this. You want Elena, I want Damon, right?"

"How'd you…?"

"Everybody knows you're into her. Just shut up and listen to me, would you?"

"This pancake is heavenly! If I died right now I'd still be the happiest person in the world," Damon stated while munching his breakfast. Elena let out a heartfelt laugh and clutched her arms around her knees tighter. She had finished her breakfast ten minutes ago, but Damon was determined to eat everything before it gets cold. Elena couldn't do anything but laugh at his childlike behaviour. He was the same as years ago.

"Do you have work today?" Elena asked taking a small bite of the pancake from his plate and putting it into her mouth.

"Yes, but in the evening. My sift starts at 5pm so we have plenty of time." Damon answered kissing her cheek and standing up to carry his plate to the sink.

"Let me help…" Elena began but was stopped by Damon.

"You made the breakfast, I'll clean, okay?" He told her kissing her again. She smiled and leaned to the table watching as he started to tidy up the kitchen.

Soon it was afternoon and it was time for Elena to go home. She had put on her clothes from the day before and had said goodbye to Damon. Now she was sitting in her car and pulling away from the driveway. She looked more beautiful than ever. Her brown hair was slightly messy; her make up almost gone and on her cheeks was a beautiful glow. She couldn't help but smile like a preteen after their first kiss. She was happier than in years.

It took her a while to reach her parents house and as she was about to park her car she noticed a car on the driveway. She parked by the silver Mercedes. Something seemed out of place. She left the car locking the doors and rummaging her bag to find the house key. She didn't have the time to find the key before her mother had opened the door in front of her.

"Elena, what a coincidence! I was just talking about you!" Isobel chirped.

"Excuse me?" Elena began but wasn't able to complete her sentence. Her mother pushed her into the living room where she saw a tall, beautiful woman who she assumed was the owner of the car.

"Elena, I want you to meet Katherine." Isobel began. Elena stared her up and down and Katherine did the same. Katherine felt suddenly really confident. The girl wasn't that pretty after all. "I used to be her professor. She was a brilliant student! Oh and Katherine is also Damon Salvatore's fiancée."

"You, what?" Elena gasped stepping back few steps. She couldn't understand. He and she had just spent a wonderful evening and even more wonderful morning with a man who is engaged to this woman.

"It's an arranged marriage decided years ago. I'm not sure if Damon knows about that either. He never was that into his family history not to mention another family's history." Katherine replied enjoying the confusion covering Elena's face.

"I believe he doesn't know… I hope so. Is there any way to get out of this… erm… situation?" Elena asked sitting down to an armchair.

"No and what's the point in that anyway? I'm sure we'll make a lovely couple. Don't you think Isobel?" Katherine asked cheerfully glancing over at Elena's mother.

"Of course! You'll make a beautiful summer bride." Isobel answered returning the smile.

"Don't talk about the wedding yet! I haven't even told Damon about this. I'm not even sure if he remembers me that well. It has been five years already since the last time we were together." Katherine replied flipping her hair and smiling like a film star.

Elena's good mood was nowhere to be seen and her mind was full of violent and aggressive thoughts. This lady in front of her just confessed indirectly that she had been in a relationship with Damon while Elena and he were dating. "What do you mean?"

"We dated before he moved and when we met about five years ago we kind of continued from where we left it…" Katherine smiled satisfied. She was lucky to be such a great actress and her way to read people was absolutely brilliant. There was nothing people could hide from her and Elena didn't even try to. Now she only needed to manipulate Damon to confess the non-existent sexual relationship. It's a fact that they'd known each other as children and there used to be romantic feelings between them but it was ages ago and Katherine wanted it back, one way or another.

"Oh is that so?" Elena stated standing up. "I'm sorry, I am not feeling so well. Excuse me…" Elena said as she stood up picking up her bag and making her way to her room. She had to try to clear this up as soon as possible. She needed the truth.

"Good day staff!" Damon called as he stepped into the restaurant. He was grinning widely and walking around like he owned the place. Well, he owns it but you get the picture. He walked to his office and sat down to his chair kicking his shoes off and placing his feet on the table.

"At least on of us is in a good mood," Anna muttered as she walked past the office, carrying a pile of dirty dishes.

"Heard that!" Damon called smiling.

"I know!" Anna answered before showing up to the room. "Today's customers absolutely have no idea how to tip. This one couple ate and drank worth of a small apartment and the entire tip I got was 1.80. That was rude! Oh and there is some woman waiting to meet you."

Damon placed his feet back down and stood up. "Those were idiots. What did the woman say?"

"Nothing, she just wants to meet you. She said it's urgent."

"Tell her I'll be there in a minute," Damon replied bending down to pick up his shoes.

"Will do!" Anna answered leaving the room as fast as she got in there.

"You wanted to meet miss… Katherine? What are you doing here?" Damon asked kissing her cheek.

"Just drove past and remembered you moved here and got this restaurant. It looks marvelous!" Katherine replied smiling beautifully.

"Thank you, Kat. It's great to hear you think so. Please have a seat, I'll offer you something to drink and eat."

"You're such a gentleman," Katherine replied following Damon to a small table by the window. She sat down in front of him and flipped her hair back.

"How long has it been?" Damon began.

"Five years I think?" Five years, 5 months and 12 days in fact Katherine thought but kept it unsaid. There was no point to freak him out.

"It's been so long!" Damon replied returning her smile. "How have you been?"

"Just great! Work has been keeping me busy though, so I haven't had that much spare time." She replied thanking the waitress who brought her and Damon cups of coffee. They spent the next twenty minutes talking and laughing, telling each other about the new things in their lives and remembering the old days.

Elena was determined to find out the truth and got out of her car just outside Damon's restaurant. She walked to the entry but then turned around after she saw Damon and Katherine laughing by the window. Apparently Katherine must've told him about the marriage and he was pleased. They looked like a couple of a fairy tale. Elena headed back into her car and turned the radio on and drove off.

A/N

I finally managed to get something written! This chapter is really short and I am sorry for that. I've been kind of off lately because of the exam week I had. Revising instead of writing fanfiction really paid off and I did great. At least I think so.

Thank you for reading and huge thank you for you who have been patient.
