Damon opened the fridge and pulled out four beers. Milo and Alaric were talking in the living room about baseball something Milo hinted they enjoyed together in the future. Elena followed Damon into the kitchen.

"Hey" Damon said hearing her coming

"It's going really well, isn't it?" She smiled.

"Yeah, it is." He said setting the beers down. "Come here."

Elena went and wrapped herself around him. She inhaled his scent deeply, it made her mouth water. She had a sudden urge to take her clothes off, to feel his nakedness against hers, but she knew it wasn't the right time; after all Milo was in the other room.

"Are you okay? You've gotten all tense…" Damon said rubbing her back soothingly

"Yeah, I'm good, just…never mind…" she said shaking her head which was tucked under his chin.

"What is it, Elena. You can tell me anything. You know that…"

"It's nothing…I just…I was thinking about you." She smiled "Can I stay over tonight?"

"Of course you can." He said sounding happy

"I actually need to go out to grab something, I won't be long…" she said as an idea came to mind

"Okay." Damon said before he kissed her. Elena's stomach flipped in anticipation and she threw her arms around his neck. He lifted her and set her down on the counter, making it easier for her to kiss him. Just when she was losing her mind Damon abruptly pulled away.

"Wha-?" she groaned

Damon cleared his throat just as Milo came walking in.

He stopped and took in the scene. "Well this is awkward." He said, raising his eyebrows. "I just wanted to grab those beers." Milo lifted them from the counter "As you were." He said lightly walking away.

Elena cringed. "Oh God." She said, Damon laughed "Oh well. It's nothing he hasn't seen before I'm sure."

"Well I'll go now…" she said still scarlet.

"Okay. See you soon." Damon said as kissing her on the side of the head before he re-joined the boys.

Half an hour later Elena was back with an overnight bag. She climbed the stairs and tossed her bag onto Damon's bed. She returned back downstairs to find the three guys having a debate.

"Do way can you beat the Lord of the Rings…" Alaric said

"I didn't say you could, I just said the remake was great." Milo replied

"How could it possibly get any better?" Damon argued "It was amazing."

"I'm telling you…You like the new version. Both of you." Milo laughed

"I'll believe it when I see it." Alaric said

"Fine, but you will." Milo replied with a grin "hey mom."

"Hi." Elena said brushing his hair with her hand and taking a seat beside him. "What have I missed?"

Too soon it was time for Milo to leave. He hugged his father and Ric and kissed his mother.

"I actually have something for you Dad." He said taking a woven leather bracelet from his jacket pocket. "See the silver charm on it? Well, it will burn hot when I'm around so you'll know I'm here."

"Thanks Milo." Damon said letting Milo tie it around his wrist

"I'll try to be around as much as I can but don't panic if I don't appear for a while." He told them. "Okay, see you." He stepped into the circle of ingredients and muttered his Latin while grasping the medallion.

"Bye." They all called, as the flames leapt in the grate. Then he was gone.
