Happy Reading.. Important note at the end of the chapter. :)
"Seriously Damon what the hell were you thinking?" My dad asks me for the millionth time and again I have no answer to his question. Why did I play the hero? I'm a bad boy but still I did something questionable.
"Giuseppe… Let it go" my mother look at my father. "She was his childhood friend" she whispers.
That's it.
"I did what I did to piss off John and I'm pretty sure I get successful doing so" I smirks. I can't let anyone think that what I did was because of any emotional attachment.
"Damon… You want to piss off John Gilbert? The sheriff. He's already been on our back since Zach's case and you want to piss him off?" My father start shouting but I just roll my eyes.
It's the best excuse I can come up with. I can't tell him that I became Elena's last minute escort because I didn't want her to get embarrassed. I couldn't let her get humiliated in front of every person in that room. And honestly when she came downstairs, dressing up in that tight blue dress that hug every curve of her body at perfect places, the way her cheeks were flushed with all the attention, her chocolate hairs that were in bun, I wanted to have her…
And Damon Salvatore always gets what he wants...so I stepped in front of her and danced with her. I'm still pissed at the fact that Enzo stood up Elena but a wicked part of me is relieved that I didn't had to saw her dancing with someone else in that 'fuck me' look.
"Giuseppe.. Let it go" my mother says. "And Damon get a grip on your emotions. It's not your place to get involved. You'll stay out of this rivalry. You got it?" I roll my eyes at my mother's obvious concern.
"Okay.. Mommy dearest.. Can I go now?" I ask in a annoyed tone.
"Damon don't talk to your mother like that" my father says in a warning tone and I immediately feels guilty for misbehaving with them. They are just worried because John is an asshole and he takes pleasure in ruining things for Salvatores.
"I'm sorry" I say and leave from there. I walked upto my room and find Stefan standing by the edge of window.
"Stefan?" I rise my brows in a questioning manner.
"Was it true?" He turn around to face me and my brows furrow in confusion. "Did you danced with Elens just to piss off John?" He asks looking at me with an accused look and I roll my eyes.
Just what I need!
"I'm not doing this" I shake my head and loosen my tie, entering in the room.
"Just say yes or no Damon" he says. "You had Sybil, your girlfriend. Or did you totally forget about her when you stepped in?"
"Enzo stood Elena up" I say the obvious thing.
"And you stood up your girlfriend for Elena" he asks amusedly and I glare at him.
"What's your point?"
"Did you really danced with Elena to piss off John or did you do it because you couldn't let her get embarrassed?" He smirks and in all honesty I want to punch that smirk off his face.
"I do what I want.… When I want .. I don't answer anyone"I bit back, not liking the way he smiled smugly…
"Come on Damon… It is obvious"
"You won the pageant baby brother… Congratulations" I say sarcastically, trying to distract him from myself.
"Yeah.. I did.. Caroline was happy" he beams and I smirked. "I hope she would forgive me…"
"She will…eventually" I say and Just then my phone ringing and I look at caller Id.
Elena?
Why the hell is Elena calling me? I look at Stefan, giving him a look that is clearly signalling him that he need to leave. I can't risk talking to Elena in front of him. He roll his eyes before leaving.
"Elena" I smirk as I receive her call. I hear her sighing and I can imagine her rolling her eyes.
"I just wanted to say…" She pauses for a moment before saying. "Thank you."
"Well your welcome" a genuine smile appears on my face. "I'm looking forward for your great fullness" I say but She ignores my last comment.
"I don't know what I would have done if you weren't there. You risked everything and I owe you. You practically saved me from all the humiliation" she says.
"Well you can thanks me tomorrow or day after that or day after that" I hear her laughing and I chuckle. I like that sound.
"Okay.. So I'm heading home… Good bye Damon" she says.
"Goodbye Elena" I say and hang up.
"Damon" Stefan enter into the room and I roll my eyes.
"What stef?" I look at him, turning around.
"I was just informing you that Mom and I are leaving and she made your favorite.. Pasta" he says and I nod.
"Tell mom thank you" I say and he nods and turn around to leave but stops near the door.
"You can thank her tomorrow or day after that or day after that" he smirks and I grab the nearby pillow, throwing it in Stefan's direction which he dodges clearly.
"Asshole" I shout as he chuckles and leave from there. I shake my head. I never thought that Pageant day would turn into like this. Sybil was angry as hell, she shouted and yelled but honestly I don't give a damn. She said she got humiliated but I wanted to ask her what about when she humiliated Elena in front of whole school. She was lucky Matt stepped in.

I enter into the house. My family leave the pageant early. I can say they're pissed but it is wrong to blame me. I didn't asked Damon to step in and if he hadn't, I would've been humiliated and I don't regret to accept his proposal. I smile as I remember our conversation. After Caroline was declared as Miss Mystic Falls, I got free time. So I decided to call Damon….
"Elena" uncle John's voice snaps me out of my thoughts. He comes downstairs with my father and Pearl.
"Yes" I stand my ground, I didn't do anything wrong.
"Keep your eyes down when elders are talking" he says and I roll my eyes. I mean we are in 21st century…
"Elena" my dad's stern voice make me look down. "Why did Damon stepped in?"
"Seriously dad? Enzo went to help Bonnie and I came downstairs with no escort. He practically saved me from being embarrassed" I exclaime.
"You shouldn't hang out with that Bennett girl. She's a bad influence on you" John tells me. "She lured in that sweet boy enzo also."
I control my urge to lash out. How dare he talks about Bonnie like that? He don't know her…
"Uncle John Bonnie is my best friend and I'm glad Enzo went to help her instead of doing that stupid dance with me" I say.
"That wasn't a stupid dance Elena" John shouts and I flinch. "You ruined our reputation. Everyone is talking about how a Salvatore saved a Gilbert. You think that Damon did that to save you from embarrassment?"
I stare at him, not quite getting his point. "He did what he did to piss off us. He knew how much harm it'll cause to our reputation".
"Everything is not about reputation" I rise my voice.
"Don't you dare to talk to me like that" John looks at me with hard face. "I'm not Grayson, child!"
"Exactly you're not my father" I exclaime. "So stop being one."
I can say John is taken aback with my comment but he didn't give me any choice.
"I'm a Gilbert and I won't allow you ruin our family's reputation" he says through his teeth. "You're grounded."
I look at my dad who is standing beside him quietly. "Dad?"
"Your uncle is right Elena" he says in the same angry tone and tears fall from my eyes. I run upstairs and closed the door behind me. How can they do that to me?

"Damon" Klaus grins and I roll my eyes. "Come on mate why so moody?"
We are here in Mystic Grill enjoying Caroline's party. Apparently she throws the party in celebration of becoming Miss Mystic Falls. She isn't that big fan of mine or Klaus's but her escort is my brother and her best friend's boyfriend is Klaus. So she had to invite us.
I was not in the mood to party but I thought I'll get to see Elena, which is not happening anytime soon. She's late and no one can be late in Caroline's party which is somewhere saying that she is going to skip it.
It's a good thing Klaus is drunk because I'm not ready for his 20 questions or his accusation looks.
"Come on pouty" he gives a pat on my shoulder but I'm in no mood for dancing or drinking. When I didn't answer Klaus, he eventually went to drink more while I keep sitting in the corner, staring at the entrance door.
"She's not going to come" Camille comes to sit beside me.
"I don't know what are you talking about" I shrug.
"Come on Damon" she says, rolling her eyes. "You're staring at entrance for an hour now. You're clearly waiting for someone".
"No I'm not" I say in an annoyed tone. Maybe I like Camille but I hate when someone reads me like a book. Am I that obvious?
"Okay.. I thought you were waiting for Elena but I think I misunderstood you" she makes b a move to stand up and I groan in annoyance.
"Okay fine" I run my hands through my hairs. " I'm waiting for her…for Elena" I look away when she smiles.
"She's not coming" she sighs.
"Why?"
"She's grounded" she says. "I went to her home after the dance but her parents said she's grounded" she shrugs.
"Just because she did that fucking stupid dance with me… She is grounded!" Camille flinched at my tone and I murmur an apology.
"I don't know what happened Damon" she says and stand up. "I better go and watch Klaus. He is drunk" she smiles warmly and I nod my head.
Elena's POV
"So, you're coming with us to Lockwood's huh?" I ask as Enzo enter in my room.
"Yeah about that. I need a favour. Bonnie is alone, you know her parents are always on business trip, so I was thinking…"
"Yeah go for it Enzo" I understand his words and I know he wants to be with Bonnie.
"What about your dad?" He asks nervously and I smirk. "What are you planning Gilbert?" He grins.
"Whatever it takes to unite love birds" I wink at him.
"I don't know Elena… I don't want him to be left alone on Thanksgiving. I mean it's not good" my dad says for the millionth time and I control my urge to roll eyes.
Enzo wanted to do Thanksgiving dinner with Bonnie but my dad wanted him to join us at Lockwood's. So I've taken the responsibility to help Enzo. We made an excuse that he is sick, now I've to convince my dad to let him stay at home.
"Dad he is sick. So what about this? I'll come home soon. I also don't want him to feel lonely dad. Enzo is my friend" I say in a low voice and dad let out a sigh.
"Okay… John will join us at Lockwood's in 10. So let's go" my dad says and after checking up on Enzo, who actually deserve an Oscar in acting, we make our way towards Lockwood's.
I'm still pissed at my family for blaming me about what happened on pageant but I had to play nice because of Enzo. I wish I could stay home too because I'm so not getting good feeling about this dinner.
The car comes into halt and we step outside. Mom and dad are walking ahead while I and Jeremy are following them.
"Salvatore's are here" Jeremy whispers. "I'm so not getting good feeling about this."
I want to tell Jeremy I'm also not getting good vibes but decides against it. "Everything is going to be fine" even the words laugh at me. Whenever Salvatore's and Gilbert's are in same room, nothing is going to be fine but I hope this one end on a good note.
As we reach front porch, I look around and see Damon laughing at something, he is looking gorgeous as always. God what is wrong with me? I've to stop thinking about him.
"Elena" my eyes move from Damon to the boy besides him, Mason Lockwood. I smile at him and he asks me to join them. I look at my dad who nods slightly before making my way towards them.
Mason steps forward and take me in a warm hug. "Hey stranger" I say and look ahead to see Damon staring at me. He brings his glass higher in a mock cheer before downing his drink in one go.
"How have you been?" Mason places his hand on the small of my back as he guides me to where Damon is standing.
"Fine" I say. I don't know Mason is doing this thing purposely or he literally have no idea about my and Damon's relationship. We talked for few minutes before making our way inside. I didn't miss the glare I received from John when I walk inside with Damon.
They all engaged in conversation but my eyes keep staring at Damon time to time. He is wearing black leather jacket on white shirt, his hairs are super messy giving him a sexy look. He looks at me at the exact time and sips his drink in a sensual manner making me gulp.
I also lift my glass, caressing it's edge in a sensual manner before bringing it to my lips and gulping it. I lick my lips afterwards and smirks when I see him shifting uncomfortably.
DPOV
God who the hell is the girl sitting in front of me and what did she do to sweet Elena or the girl who asked me stop and slapped me. I watch as she crossed her long legs and sip her drink slowly. She's wearing a peach color dress, which is not so much reviling but hugging every curve of her body, it's short so it gives a great look of her legs.
She stands up from her seat and everyone is so engaged in the stupid conversation that I take the risk and follow her.
I open the door of the spare bedroom, where she entered and close the door behind.
"Damon what are you doing here. Uncle John is…" she don't get to finish her sentence as I cup her face and smash my lips with her. I pour my frustration, my anger and my fear in the kiss. I roughly take her hairs in my hand and angle her head to have a better access to her mouth.
How dare she makes me feel this way? How dare she makes me want her. I want to become one with her. I want to breathe her, feel her. How it must feel to be inside her, her walls clenching around me. I feel myself getting more hard at the imagination.
I want her to scream my name out of pleasure. I grab her behind and pull her against him, letting her feel how much I wanted her.
"Damon" she says, pushing me a little but keep standing near me, flushing against my chest. "Our families are here."
"Yeah. I know" I keep moving my hands up and down her bare arm. "But you want this".
"I don't know what I want" she shrugs innocently.
"You want a love that consumes you, passion and adventure and even a little danger" she stare at me as I continue. "I stir this passion inside of you that nobody can. You seeks danger and adventure because you're standing here with a Salvatore while your sheriff uncle is just outside."
"It's not right" she whispers.
"It's right just not right now" I say and she looks at me with her big doe eyes.
"Damon," she breathes. I lean my forehead against her. "What are you doing to me?" She says hoarsely and I watch her as she try to calm her nerves.
"The same thing you're doing to me" I say and she stares at me.
"What do you want from me?" I stare deep into her eyes and watch as she gulps. Just when I was about to answer her question, a knock on the door stops me.
