Chapter 11: Vegas Anyone?
It's been a wonderful week Damon and me have been spending a lot of time together just preparing ourselves for what's to come. Bex has been acting weird lately I have no idea what is going on. But on another note we are leaving for Vegas this morning for my Bachelorette party and Damon is throwing his in Sin City as well. We wont see each other at all during the next 3 days and it is going to be hard. I almost gave in the other night I had been hurt so bad that I needed to feel love but thankfully I fell asleep. I want our time together to be perfect and Damon promised me that the honeymoon would be. Signing off Future Mrs. Salvatore.
Elena finished packing and starting filling her Louis Vuitton make up bag with all the things she would need. Damon sauntered in holding up two different shirts.
"Which one do you think is a better black. The Varvatos or the Klein?"
"Damon what have I turned you into?" she is smiling and he starts smirking. "Fine I like the Varvatos babe it suits you better."
"Thank you. So am I going to have to worry about you this weekend?"
"Damon I'm 19 its not like I can do anything anyway besides shop and see shows. So the question I should be asking is," fixing his shirt collar and smoothing out his shirt. "Should I be worried about you?"
"Elena if you don't want me to go I wont Stefan and Calvin planned all this I have no idea what is going on but I promise you no strippers, hookers or anything I wouldn't want you doing. Besides babe you happen to be marrying a very wealthy club owner."
Finishing packing her things. "What does that mean Damon?"
"Well Elena lets just say you have a surprise waiting for you in Vegas. I don't want to ruin Caroline's surprise."
He grabs her bags and they head downstairs where Stefan, Calvin, Caroline, Alaric and Rebekkah are all waiting.
"Hey Stefan can I speak to you for a moment outside?" she begins walking to the patio and Damon and Stefan exchange looks.
"Elena we wont have any strippers I promise." Catching up with her.
"Stef that's not what I want to talk to you about. I'm marrying your brother in a week and I don't have anybody to walk me down the aisle," Stefan looked shocked. "And I was wondering if you would do me the honor of walking me down. Calvin and Rebekkah are walking together and I believe it would mean a lot to Damon and to…me."
"Elena I would be more than honored to have you on my arm." Grabbing her and hugging her closely. "Now let's get you and Damon to Vegas.
Caesar's Palace
They had arrived in Vegas and a limo was waiting for them at the airport. Elena was in awe of the lights and just the scenery. Everyone was dressed amazingly. The men in gangster suits and the women in sexy dresses. When they arrived at the hotel the valets and concierges were treating him like royalty. Stefan and Caroline got us all checked in and we headed to the suite.
"So the guys are wanting to go gamble for awhile I figured we could go shopping for some cute outfits for tomorrow night and then head over to the spa for awhile then to the pool."
"Sounds great to me. I want to hit up Dior. I want to get something sexy and sparkly." Laughing.
"Well let's go then girls."
After wandering around the casino grounds for a while Elena and the girls found themselves browsing through Dior. Damon was paranoid about them being alone in Vegas so he brought along Elijah and Finn to guard the girls when he was not around, they were standing outside the door. Caroline and Rebekkah were laughing and trying on shoes while Elena was looking over some of the new party dresses. A one shoulder sparkly silver dress caught her eye and she had to try it on.
She went into the changing room and when she was done she came out and Rebekkah and Caroline turned to look at her.
"Elena that's looks banging on you girl!" smiling. "You have to get it, its perfect for tomorrow night."
"Yes Elena it just oozes sex appeal and that's what we need to get Damon all riled up." Scanning over the shoes.
"Well I don't want to do that too him again." Turning to stare at herself in the mirror.
"Elena Gilbert what do you mean by that I want details now."
Elena begins to blush but continues. "Well the other night after that whole debacle with my dad as you know we came home I went up and got in the hot tub and just laid there. Well after a while Damon came up and joined. Things started to escalate and we decided it was the right time. We moved it to the bed and he went to change real quickly. We were very worked up to say the least and when he came back I was passed out asleep. I feel so bad; he told me it was fine he understood I had a long night. But I mean still he deserves to not have to deal with that. He has probably never gone this long without sex. I'm only 19 and he is 25 his expectations are a lot more than that I'm sure."
Elijah is laughing from outside and Caroline sits down next to her. "Elle listen Damon has been around for lack of a better word but trust me when I say this that man has never felt what he feels for you about anyone else. He has already done more for you than Ka…um any other woman believe me."
Elena notices she stopped. "What or who were you going to say Care?"
"Nothing I just caught myself from saying the wrong word that's all. So what do you girls say we grab this dress and head to the spa I already got our appointments set."
Rebekkah and Elena both nod and she purchases her dress before heading out and to the spa.
Poker Room
Damon, Stefan and Calvin are all sitting round the table playing poker. They are laughing and joking around.
"So in a few days Damon you will be a married man how's that feel?"
"Well first of all I never thought I would be getting married but in the end I'm glad it's Elena. We work well together. No one has ever been able to tolerate me long enough to see marriage."
'Wow some profound words from my brother I'm amazed. Damon being married is wonderful just promise me that you will take it slow. And no offense to you Cal but Elena is not as experience as you in certain areas take it easy."
"Ok first off eww I do not want to be having a conversation about my sister's sex life let alone with her future husband because I would have to kill you."
"Cal I am respectful of her wishes I promise you that. And Stefan shut up I have got this under control." Elijah and Alaric walk in. "Is something wrong with the girls? Why aren't you with them?"
"No its fine boss they are at the spa and Finn is guarding the front. I was wondering if I could have a word with you for a moment alone."
Damon looks around and then folds his cards. He gets up and buttons his jacket walking over to the foyer area. "What's going on Elijah?"
"I thought you might like to know that Miss Elena and Mrs. Salvatore were having a conversation and Mrs. Caroline almost told Elena about Katherine sir."
At the mention of Katherine Damon almost punched something. "Thanks." He walks back into the poker room. "I have to take care of something I'll be right back."
"You need me to come Damon?"
"No. I'll be back." He leaves and heads to the spa. Once he arrives he asks the lady where Caroline is and she escorts him to her. He opens the door and finds her receiving a facial. "What the hell were you thinking Caroline?"
She jumps at his voice and stars wide eyed at him. "What are you talking about Damon?"
"You almost told Elena about Katherine are you insane. I want to tell her about Katherine on my own time I don't need you going around telling my business."
"See this is what I was telling Stefan I cant even have a conversation without one of your henchmen listening in and running back to you."
"You know it's not like that Caroline they are protecting you."
"Oh really well did he happen to tell you why Katherine was almost brought up in the first place?" Damon's face looked confused and she continued. "Figures he only tells you have the story. Elena is so scared that you are going to leave her because you haven t been getting sex from her. She knows you are used to getting it whenever you want and she thinks because she got you all riled up the other night that you are going to get frustrated and leave her or at the least start getting it some where else."
"I'm sorry Caroline I didn't mean anything by it."
"I know Damon but you need to tell them to stay out of my conversations or at the least tell you the whole story. I was just telling her how much you love her that you have never done anything like this before for anyone and that is where Katherine almost came out."
"Thanks Care. I'll talk to them okay." They hug and he walks back to the poker room.
Poolside Cabana
Rebekkah, Caroline and Elena are all lying out in their designer suits catching some sun. Elena is sitting back with her Dior one-piece cutout and a pair of Cartier sunglasses on and her hair pulled back into a loose ponytail and loose curls.
"Guys I'm going to grab a drink. You guys want anything?" she stands up and puts her sheer wrap around her waist and they all nod no. She walks over to the bar and leans against the bar. A man standing next to her stares her up and down before starting a conversation with her.
"So where are you from?"
She looks over and smiles. "Connecticut." She looks to find a bartender.
"Cool. How long you here for sweetheart?" She is starting to get nervous when the bartender comes over.
"Can I get a Fiji water please?" Handing him a 20. From a far Damon is walking out of the hotel In his swim shorts and sees this man talking to Elena and her with a nervous look on her face so he walks over to her.
"No let me buy that for you sexy."
"No its alright I have got this." Sliding the 20 back to the bartender.
"I insist let me buy it for you." Grabbing the money and giving it back to her.
"I'll buy it for her." Damon walks up behind her and she smiles.
"Its alright man I will buy this smoking lady a drink."
"I don't believe you understand me I will buy my fiancé her drink." Pulling out a stack of money and throwing a 100 down as Elena kisses him and flashes her huge engagement ring. The man is in shock at the ring. "Now why don't you go on somewhere before I have to have you escorted from here."
"Thank you babe. That guy was creepy." Sipping her water.
"Well I couldn't let me baby pay for her own drink now can I?" hanging his hands around her waist and kissing her.
"That's right. So did you have fun playing cards?" they start walking back to the cabana where Calvin and Stefan are already sitting.
"I took all of Stefan's money that's for sure." Laughing and sitting down so Elena can sit between his legs.
"You cheated that's why."
"Please we both know that I am the superior brother in this group." Damon is holding Elena and waving at the waitress. "Could we get a round of patron and say a round of hurricane's please. Name is Salvatore put it on the room."
"Certainly Mr. Salvatore." Flirting with him, as she walks away.
"I mean seriously am I invisible. I was sitting right here, with this huge ring on how can you miss it?"
"Babe its fine you know you're the only woman for me." She starts smiling and they begin to make out.
"Okay, okay gross please get a room." Throwing a towel at them.
"Well Barbie we would but some body decided it was best for the guys to be in one room and the girls in another." The waitress coming back up.
"Here you are Mr. Salvatore." Handing him a drink and ignoring Elena.
"Miss what's your name?"
"Nicole."
"Well Nicole could you please have your supervisor come over here."
"Sir he only comes out for certain people." Elena is annoyed at this woman.
"Well Nicole you go tell him Damon Salvatore wants to speak with him." she walks away.
"Oh she makes me so angry." He strokes her shoulders.
"Its alright babe I'm going to take care of it." The supervisor is walking up to them.
"Damon I am so glad you came back how is business out there treating you?"
"It's been great John. I am so sorry to bother you but you see Nicole over there was being completely rude to my fiancé. She was blatantly flirting with me in front of Elena and ignoring her. I ordered some drinks and she pretended Elena wasn't here. Now I understand this is how she probably makes her tips but with me I don't appreciate it. If you would take care of it please."
"Elena I just want to say how sorry I am that one of our employees treated you that way."
"Its fine John. Thanks." Snuggling into Damon.
"Thank you John."
The rest of the afternoon was peaceful. Elena and her friends and family enjoyed the sun. After a while they decided to grab some dinner at the local steakhouse N9NE.
