Damon knew that Bonnie had arrived even before she rang at the doorbell – he went to open the door and a surprised look escaped from Bonnie's face. A little because really didn't expect to see Damon even though it was his house, and even because it was no secret that those two weren't crazy about each other.

"Damon." she said faking entusiasm.

"And hello to you too, witch." he replied with the same tone, rolling his eyes when she couldn't see him.

"Elena!" Bonnie said relieved, throwing her arms at her friend. "My goodness! I'm so glad that you're okay!" she said squeezing her.

Elena smiled and squeezed her friend too.

"Where's Stefan?" Bonnie asked, giving Damon a dirty look.

Of course, besides Stefan, Caroline, Jeremy (and now that pain in the ass of John) nobody knew about her and Damon yet, Elena really didn't have the time to tell anyone since she got stabbed the day after getting with him, for god's sake!

At that Bonnie's affirmation, Damon went near Elena, putting his arm around her shoulder and giving the witch a knowing smile. What surpsied Bonnie the most though was when Elena put her arm around his waist!

Bonnie kept watching from Elena to Damon with a confused look on the face. "Wh-what does it mean? Are you really with him now?" she asked, slightly disgusted.

"Yes." Elena confirmed firmly. "It's kind of a messed story – so we'll talk about it later. But now Bonnie I need you to focus, what I'm about to tell you it's important.. a lot."

"Okay." the witch said suddenly serious, giving Damon a last dirty look.

"It's Luka.. he still wants that book of yours Bonnie, he thinks that I have it. And I don't know why! So.. thursday evening.." at this Elena gave Damon a confident look, meaning that after all that day was still important for her, for them. He glanced back giving her a reassuring look and a little nod to keep her talking. "..he went at my house, we argued and I told him that I didn't know a damn about that book, but he threatened and.. hit me."

Damon's expression was now furious, pissed – like he was going to lose it for good.

"Easy Damon.. chill." Elena told him softly.

"But it's not over. At the hospital I was ready to tell the entire story, but he treathened me again. While I was sleeping, Bonnie. He made me see what a world without me would me, he mentally tortured me, remarking once again that he wants that book and that if he doesn't get it, that 'nightmare' will become reality. What are we going to do?"

Bonnie had a speechless and guilty face, while Damon was still fuming.

"I'm so, so sorry Elena. It's all my fault.. you got involved and it's all my fault. That asshole!" Bonnie told her almost in tears.

"No Bon! You don't have to blame yourself. It's not your fault. They just want that book and they thought that I had it – that's it." Elena told her friend, reassuringly.

"But Elena.." Bonnie protested still upset.

"No 'buts', Bonnie. I just need to know where that book is. Because otherwise, I'm screwed. Completely."

"I'm going to kill that son of a bitch." Damon suddenly snapped.

"No Damon! You won't!"

"Elena's right, Damon. You're a powerful vampire – but they are powerful too. A lot. And they would take you down, trust me." the witch said deadly serious.

Elena tightened her grip at his waist. Damon made an annoyed face and let it go.

"So are you going to tell us where that hell of a book is? We're losing time here." he said to her.

Bonnie sighed. "It's in the witches' house. I put it in there because it's a safe place and it's raelly important for my family. But obviously Elena comes first – most of all because she got involved in this story and she doesn't deserve this. I still apologize, 'Lena."

"I'm gonna take it, you two stay here. By the way, how's this book?" Damon asked trying to sound polite.

"I transfered all in that head of yours. Meaning that when you'll get there, you'll know exactly where to find it." Bonnie replied with the same tone.

Elena couldn't help but smile amused at seeing how much effort those two were making to stand each other for her sake.

"Damon? Don't do things you may regret, I'm begging you."

"Don't worry." he told her smiling and kissing her lightly on the lips before heading to the door. Bonnie seemed slightly uncomfortable.

Once Damon was out, Bonnie went all curious on Elena.

"So? You and Damon for good?" she asked.

"Yes, me and Damon for very good." Elena replied proudly.

"Well.. I don't know what to say. I mean I was aware of the fact that you had a crush on him and that he felt the same for you too but hey, you know what I'm talking about? He's Damon Salvatore, he's a womanizer! You would never expect such a thing." the witch spat out bluntly.

"Bonnie, I don't have a 'crush' oh him. I'm in love with him – and I know that Damon seems to be the classic heartbreaker and jerk, but trust me, he's not. If you get to know him, you can feel how deeply he loves. He's sweet, and protective, and gentle, and flawless.." Bonnie interrupted her. "Elena? I got it.. you're madly in love with the guy!" her friend said amused. They both laughed.

They spent the whole afternoon talking and watching movies, since Elena really didn't feel like being alone. Bonnie told her how still pissed she was with Luka for how he used her, and now even more for what he did to her. Plus, it seemed that neither Caroline told Bonnie about her and Stefan, thing that disappointed her since it was Elena who got to confirm her that. Maybe they wanted to keep it from her until Damon and Elena went public?

They were interrupted by a knock on the door. Elena had a happy look on her face being sure that it was Damon – Bonnie went to open it.

A confused look on the witch's face. "Mmh.. how can I help you?" she asked rasing her eyebrows.

"Hi, I'm Andie. Damon's girlfriend." Andie spat all fierce, heading a hand to Bonnie.

"Uhm... Elena!" Bonnie called. It seemed to be an hilarious and weird situation.

When she managed to get to the door, she let out a frustrated sigh rolling her eyes. "For the love of me Andie what is it?" Elena asked annoyed.

"I'm here for Damon, obviously." the bitch didn't even ask the permission to enter that she was already in! Her clothes were embarassing. A tight shirt and hot pants with hills. God, how could she be such a slut?

"Andie please. I'm not in the mood. I'm tired and it all hurts like crazy.. can you please stop with all of this?" Elena asked calmly.

"Ha ha, forget it. Now I'm waiting for Damon, if you don't mind." she replied sarcastic.

Damon may be right, the girl clearly wasn't healthy. Could he just compel her to get the fuck off though?

Bonnie and Elena gave each other an exasperated look and sat on the other couch in front of Andie. After 15 minutes of awkward silence, Damon was finally back.

"Okay so I've got the book.." he was saying heading to the leaving room.

"..Andie?" he then asked surprised.

"Hey D." she said with a flirtarious look and tone.

"What are you doing here?" he asked bothered, putting the book on the table and crossing his arms.

"Mmh.. well, I was wondering if I could do you." Andie replied rosing from her seat and reaching a perplexed Damon.

"HEY!" Elena snapped rosing too and almost going to slap that pain in the ass on the face when Bonnie grabbed her arm and gave her a 'relax' look.

"Jesus Christ Andie, are you stupid or what? Is it so hard for you to just leave me alone?" Damon asked always more annoyed.

"You donnot talk to me like this." she said with a harder tone.

Bonnie was still chilling Elena out while Damon was just losing it.

He let out a growl and spoke again. "Look sweetie, we had fun. We fucked and it's been funny, but now you just have to get the fuck out of my house for god's sake..because you're really irritating me and that's not a good sign." yeah, old Damon was still there sometimes. For the better.

"Fine. But I'm not giving up on us Damon, remember it!" she said before reaching the door.

He rolled his eyes and then reversed his attention to Elena and Bonnie. God, if it wasn't for Elena and her – right, though – morals he would have snapped her neck without thinking twice.

"So.. where were we? Oh yes that book of yours witch. Are you going to give it to him?"

"Yeah, I'll take care of it and I'll let you know as soon as possible."

He just nodded. Elena hugged her friend, telling her goodbye and good luck with Luka. She really hoped for the best.

Damon was sipping his usual bourbon when he felt two thiny arms wrapped around his waist. "Hey." Elena said, resting her head on his shoulder. "Hey beautiful." he replied sweetly, turning around and wrapping his arms around her waist.

"How are you doing?" he asked caressing her hair, slightly concerned.

"I'm fine. I just have to take my medicine in one hour."

She rested her head on his chest, feeling warm and safe.

"I'm just glad that it's finally over. At least I hope so.." she said softly.

"Don't worry, everything's going to be okay." he reassured her, kissing her hair.

"Are you hungry?" he asked.

"A little.." she replied smiling.

"Then go on the couch and rest there, I'm gonna take your medicine and prepare you something." he said winking at her.

"How cute! Thank you love." she said teasing and looking up at him.

"I'm not cute." he said tapping her nose.

"Yes you are. Very cute."

He rolled his eyes and accompained her to the couch.

"Want to catch a movie later?" she asked.

"Okay. But 'Lena – don't you dare putting on Twilight or some crappy romantic comedies. I mean it!" he said pointing his finger at her.

She shaked her head amused. "As you demand." she said while thinking about which movie Damon could actually like. But oh, well, they were at his house so she was just going to search in his. After a long research, she decided to go for "2012" – even though she didn't know if it belonged to Stefan or Damon.

"Are you okay with that?" she asked showing up the movie when he entered in the living room with a plate of scrambled eggs and some spaghetti.

"Whatever you like since during the whole movie I'm just going to stare at you." he said kissing her. "Here. Eat everything Elena, it's two days that you're eating hospital food. And remember to drink your medicine." he reccomended.

"I love when you're so overprotective." she teased him.

She kissed him passionately pulling him down to her. When the making-out was definitely becoming something more, he pulled up making Elena pout. "You have to eat." he said. "It's not okay if I eat you instead?" she asked flirtariously. "Mmh.. nope. We'll have all the sex that you want after." she pouted again. "Fine!"

Elena finished all her food in a few minutes – she was actually starving, and Damon was such a good cooker. They spent one hour watching the movie when Elena fell asleep. Damon didn't want to wake her up, so he just put a pillow under her head and covered her with a blanket.

When he moved, Elena instantly reached for his arm. "And where do you think you're going? Come here." she said with sleepy voice. "Sure." he replied smiling sweetly at her.

He positioned himself behind her, wrapping his arm around her waist. She snuggled closer to him, and he kissed her shoulder.


10 days later.

Finally Elena was totally recovering, and everything seemed to be okay. Damon took very well care of her and had been attentive and gentle as always (with even lot of 'sex care'). The whole Luka thing seemed to be alright too – even though Elena still saw him sometimes around the Grill, she was always escorted by mostly Damon, Stefan, Caroline and even Bonnie, but now that he had what he wanted he seemed to be calm.

Jenna decided that today she wanted to organize a little party-barbecue for her niece, and even if Elena really didn't love those kind of things, she still agreed to do it. But most of all, the whole Alaric situation still wasn't solved and she needed to speak with Damon about this again as soon as possible. And even talk to Jenna about her and Damon, god what a mess! Could she have just two minutes of peace?

"'Lena, Bonnie's here!" Jeremy said, opening the door to a smiling Bonnie.

Elena immediatly rosed from the couch and went to say hi to her friend. She sure didn't miss those suspicious glances between her best friend and his brother anyway.

"Here. These chocolates are for you." Bonnie said giggling.

"Bonnie! You seriously didn't have to. These days my only hobby is eating and eating. I'm going to be a pig very soon." Elena giggled too, hugging her friend and letting her in.

After a while Stefan, Caroline and Alaric arrived too.

"So everyone's here?" Jenna asked, still preparing food.

"Actually Damon's not here yet." Elena pointed out.

"Oh.. okay." she shrugged.

"Mmh, well, Jenna. My dear and beloved aunt Jenna. There's actually something I need to tell you about-…" Elena was awkwardly and anxiously beginning when the doorbell rang. Jenna just raised her eyerbrows for the strange conversation that her niece was starting – but Elena excused herself going to open the door.

A grin on Elena's face when she opened it. "I was actually starting to worry about where the hell were you." she said cautionally looking around to see if anyone was looking at them, then she wrapped her arms around his neck and planted a big kiss on his cheek.

"Sorry I'm late, but I needed to take something." he replied wrapping his arms around her waist. She gave him a questioning look.

"I'll explain you later.. by the way any idea of when you're going to tell your aunt about us? Come on Elena, everyone knows about us. You're just messing around with her." he squeezed her. "I mean I want to be able to do this in front of everyone.." he whispered in her ear seductively, placing kisses on her lips, neck, and jaw line making her come goose-bumps. She closed her eyes in pleasure but then immediatly came back to reality.

"Fine.. I'll tell her later. I promise." she said with husky voice, clearly turned on. Damon smirked.

"But we have to deal with Alaric's situation. Please Damon! I know that you think I'm wrong, but I know that there's something going on here and I need you to help me with this. Okay?" she then asked with her worried and agitated look on the face.

"Okay." he nodded before giving her one last kiss and then let go of her, heading to everyone.
