Chapter 14

EPOV

I followed Damon out to his Camaro and he opened the door for me.

"Do you want me to take you home," he asked as he started the car.

"I don't want to go home," I said," I just want to stay with you."

"Ok," he said smiling," my house it is."

"So what happened tonight," he asked as we drove home," with you and Stefan I mean?" I told him about all the things Stefan had said about me and how I'd slapped him.

"A slap and a punch in one night," he laughed," Steffie sure got what he deserved."

We drove back to the boarding house in silence. He opened the door and I followed him up the stairs to his room. I went and sat on the bed and he sat down next to me.

"So that was fun," I said smiling.

"What," he asked," me punching Stefan in the face?"

"Well that too," I said as I looked at him.

"So kissing me is fun," he said smiling," I could've told you that."

"You're so cocky," I said laughing," but yes I like kissing you."

"You must be exhausted," he said," it was a long night."

"Yeah," I said," can I sleep in here with you tonight?"

"I thought you'd never ask," he said," do you want to borrow something to sleep in?"

"Yeah sure," I said. He got up and grabbed a t-shirt and boxer shorts and handed them to me. I walked into his large bathroom and changed out of my dress and into the clothes he had given me. Then I walked over to the sink and used a washcloth to wipe off all of my makeup. I walked back into the bedroom and Damon was already laying down in just his boxer shorts. I got into bed and turned to face him.

"So what is this," I asked," you and me I mean?"

"I don't know," he said," what do you want it to be?"

"Well," I said," I'd like to be with you, I just think we should take things slow."

"Take things slow huh," he said," ok so what does that mean?"

"Well," I said," we can ease into this, whatever this is, and then decide what exactly is going on. Then we can decide what we are. I just don't want to be one of the many to you, I like relationships, but I don't want to force you into something you don't want."

"Elena you wouldn't be forcing me into anything," he said as he reached his arm out to push back a strand of my hair," I want to be with you, only you, I want whatever you want." I couldn't believe he was saying all of these things to me; he was looking at me the way nobody has ever looked at me before. I scooted closer to him and wrapped my arms around his neck to kiss him. He responded quickly, his tongue darting out and parting my lips to coarse against mine. I loved kissing him; it was as if his lips were made for mine. When we finally parted, both out of breath, he grabbed my hand and ran his fingers over my knuckles.

"We can take things as slow as you want," he said," but I want to be with you whenever you're ready." I smiled at him and squeezed his hand. He turned over and flipped off the light so we could go to sleep. He pulled me in close to him and kissed the top of my head before I drifted off to sleep.

DPOV

I opened my eyes slowly Sunday morning and looked down at Elena whose head was resting on my chest. She was still asleep. I glanced at the clock and it was already after 12.

"Elena," I said as I ran my hand up and down her back," hey wake up." She slowly opened her eyes, looked up at me, and smiled.

"What time is it," she asked as she sat up.

"It's a little after 12," I said," we slept for a while. I knew you were tired."

She got out of bed and walked over to pick up her bag. She pulled her phone out and a distressed look was on her face.

"What's wrong," I asked her," you look upset."

"Katherine sent the picture," she said," I have like 100 texts from everyone I know. Bonnie, Caroline, the rest of the cheerleaders, and a bunch of Stefan's friends. I mean I know I told her to send the picture because I didn't care if Stefan saw, but I didn't really think about how everyone else would react."

"They'll get over it," I said," you and Stefan already broke up anyways, and it was just a kiss. After everything he said and did last night I think you two are even."

"Yeah I guess," she said," I'll just deal with all this later, I'm not in the mood."

"Ok," I said," well do you want some breakfast, or well lunch now?"

"Sure," she said," but I don't really want to see Stefan, I'm kind of afraid to leave the room."

"Right," I said," hold on I'll go see what he's doing. He might not even be here." I left my room and walked down the hall to the top of the stairs, but the house was quiet. I looked out the front window and didn't see Stefan's car so he obviously wasn't home. I walked back into my room and saw Elena looking through my bookshelves.

"Are you spying on me Gilbert," I asked her smiling.

"You have so many books," she said," do you actually read all of these?"

"Well they're not just for decorations," I said," I actually like to read."

"You surprise me more and more everyday," she said smiling," so is Stefan here?"

"Nope," I said," the coast is clear so come down and I'll make breakfast." She followed me downstairs and sat at the counter while I made her some eggs and bacon. We ate and talked for a while, but then her phone rang and Jenna asked her to come home. She grabbed her stuff and I drove her home.

"Thank you Damon," she turned to me once we pulled up to the house," for everything you've done." Then she leaned in and kissed me. It was short, but I liked it.

"You're welcome Elena," I said," I'll see you tomorrow."

"Ok," she said," see you tomorrow." She got out of the car and walked into her house. When I pulled into my driveway Stefan's car was back.

"This should be good," I sad aloud. I walked through the front door and into the living room. He was sitting on the couch sporting a black eye. I couldn't help but feel proud.

"Hey little brother," I said," How's the eye?"

"You sucker punched me Damon," he said," it won't happen again."

"Ok whatever," I said," you were being a dick. You deserved it."

"I didn't deserve it," he said annoyed," you made out with my girlfriend."

"Oh please you guys had broken up," I said," and the kiss at school was nothing."

"What the fuck is your problem," he shouted," you knew we were dating and you made out with her anyway. That's real classy Damon."

"Ok first of all we never made out, at least not while you were still dating," I said smirking," and she kissed me that day at school, not the other way around. Now granted, I didn't fight it, but you need to calm down. You guys are broken up now anyways."

"Who's fault is that Damon," he shouted.

"Yours Stefan," I said," she told me what you said about her to your buddies."

"You don't know what you're talking about," he said," just leave me the fuck alone. I'm done with you."

"Sounds good to me," I said," oh and might want to put some ice on that eye." With that I walked back up the stairs to my room. I knew things would never be easy with Elena and I, but Stefan will do whatever he can to screw up with my life.
