Hey Everyone! Here's another chapter. I'm really sorry that I didn't post sooner. I'm in Washington, and we had a huge snow storm, over 2 feet at my house, and the power went out. You know what that means, no internet. Trust me, I was just as pissed as you guys. Haha.

Hope you enjoy this chapter! I have been working non-stop trying to crank some chapters out for you guys because of that big break. I have 3 that I'm going to post either today, or tomorrow.

Please give me some ideas! And review!

Shaylee was laying on her stomach, on Damon's bed with her laptop, working on her homework. She groaned loudly in annoyance and frustration. Why could the damn computer just tell her what she wanted to know? There was no link that had the exact question…or anything close. Damn history class…Who needs history anyway.

Damon walked into his room as he finished buttoning his black shirt and smirked. He had a great view of her small, but curvy ass with her long, toned legs. He loved how her tongue stuck between her lip and bottom teeth, Her 'study face.'

He smoothly crossed the room, and sat behind her, his chest pressing into her back seductively.

"I hear groaning and I'm not part of it." Damon complained teasingly, nipping her neck. Shaylee smiled, and laughed as she felt hip nip her neck teasingly, his hands running down her arms, taking some of her stress away.

"This kind of groaning is something you don't want to be part of." Shaylee answered him, clicking on another link that of course, had nothing she needed.

"Well that's…disappointing." Damon commented, kissing her neck before looking at the screen.

"What are you looking for?"

"How did the League of Nations keep the peace?" Shaylee asked, turning her head to look up at Damon. Damon smirked and chuckled.

"absolutely nothing."

"Damon." Shaylee complained. Damon rolled his eyes.

"Seriously Shay. They did nothing. They gave…verbal warnings. Nothing else." Damon told her rolling his eyes, shrugging his shoulders.

"And let me guess, you just happen to get a few of them?" Shaylee asked as she closed her laptop frustrated.

Damon chuckled and shrugged, proud of himself. "Maybe just a few."

Shaylee laughed and Damon chuckled with her, pushing her down on the bed, flipping her over so that she was on her back, and he was on top of her.

"Mmm…I have to get to school…" Shaylee complained. Damon started down at her, both enticed in each other's eyes, not being able to look away.

Damon ran a hand down her face softly, threw her hair.

"Skip it."

"I can't."

"You can do anything you set your mind to." Damon mocked, smirking, kissing her cheek.

"Damon-" Shay complained as he started kissing over her cheek, and down her jaw line.

"Shh." He complained, taking his lips away to look at her scolding, then immediately went back to kissing down her jaw bone.

"Alright, I really have to go!" Shaylee reminded him. Damon groaned and rolled his eyes.

"What's so special about school? Once you turn, your going to have your whole, un- dead life for that." Damon told her, smirking. Shaylee chuckled.

"Yes, but that's once I turn. I don't exactly have a choice right now babe." Shaylee told him, sliding out from under him.

"Right now, it's still illegal for me to keep ditching school so much." Shaylee reminded, adjusting her dark forest green button up, running her hands threw her wavy hair.

Damon smirked at she did it. She didn't realize how attractive she was.

"Alright, but I'm taking you out tonight." Damon told her smirking. Shay cocked an eyebrow suspiciously.

"Like…our first date? And this time, won't end up in tears, blood, and kidnapping?" Shaylee asked, half smiling. Damon smirked and stood up, sauntering over to her.

"Well…if your not opposed to the last two…" Damon told her, raising his eyebrow suggestively, smirking as he grabbed her collar on her shirt, pulling her close.

"Mmm…" Shay murmured, pursing her lips, pretending to think. "You feel lucky?"

"Understatement." Damon told her honestly. He felt like the luckiest man in the whole entire world!

"Well…you get lucky…depending on how amazing this date is." Shaylee told him, crinkling her nose cutely, smiling at him, pulling away.

Damon groaned and rolled his eyes, tipping his head back.

"You are such a tease!" He complained, looking at her retreating figure.

"Always. See you after school. Picking me up?" Shay asked, turning around, facing him as she held his bedroom door open.

"wouldn't miss it."

Shaylee smiled at her gorgeous boyfriend, and Damon smiled back just as lovingly. Nothing could ruin this. It just wasn't this possible to be this in love!

After school, she smiled brightly as she walked threw the school, dressed in dark blue skinny leg jeans, converse, and her dark green button up long sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. She had her tan messenger bag over her shoulder as she exited the building.

She immediately frowned as she saw Tyler talking to some mysterious older…sluty blonde.

Deciding to walk over, Shaylee headed towards them. Tyler greeted her with a smile.

"Shay, this is Jules. A friend of Mason's from Florida." Tyler explained. Shaylee froze. Mason's…Florida…

"You know the sheriff marked him as a missing person today?" Tyler asked. Shaylee looked at him shocked. Crap…that was definitely not good.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't know that." Shaylee apologized guiltily. Jules forced a smile and stared at Shaylee curiously. Vampire?

"But I really have to go. Damon's picking me up. It was nice to meet you Jules, see you later." Shaylee told them, hurriedly leaving before Tyler had a chance to say goodbye.

This was not good. A mysterious women shows up, looking for Mason. Mason get's marked as a missing person. What if she's a werewolf too?

She saw a blue Camaro pull up and ran towards it, immediately getting inside hurriedly, shutting the door.

"We have a problem." Both of them said to each other.

Shaylee walked into her house and set her purse down on the table as Damon closed the door behind her. Thoroughly bummed out. Him and Ric had been formulating a plan all day long. Finally…they came up with something, however, it was right in the middle of their date.

"So…rescheduling again?" Shay complained, rolling her eyes. Of course. It was always getting moved around. Especially since nobody knew about them.

"Shay…" Damon started, groaning.

"No. It's fine. I just…have to get used to it, I guess." Shaylee told him, sighing, crossing her arms. "I mean…we're not normal people."

"Shay-"

"No, really it's ok. We're dealing with all this right now. I guess it's just…not the time." Shaylee told him, sighing.

Damon sighed and walked closer, in front of her, taking her hands, bringing them up to rest between them and their chests.

"We are going out. You are going to get dressed up. You are not going to be disappointed." Damon promised her. Shay sighed and shook her head.

"Tonight's just obviously a bad night Damon-"

"I'll finish with Jules quickly, then I will take you out for a night on the town." Damon promised her, lowering his forehead to rest against hers, trying to cheer her up.

Shay sighed and nodded. "Alright, ok."

"Now, go upstairs, do your homework, and put on whatever is in that gorgeous box." Damon told her. Shaylee immediately raised an eyebrow suspiciously and grinned widely, and immediately ran, full speed upstairs.

Damon watched her run up the stairs enthusiastically and chuckled.

Shaylee gasped as she found 4 white boxes sitting on her bed. What had Damon done?

She took a deep breath and opened the tiniest box first, and gasped, her eyes going wide. her birthstone diamond earrings. They were in a tear shape, and absolutely gorgeous. Shaylee smiled brightly and immediately put them in, while wondering how much he paid for them. They were brilliant blue sapphires! It has got to cost a fortune!

She looked in the mirror, and almost gasped at the way they brought out her blue eyes. Whoa…

Next, she went and opened the larger box. It was a matching necklace. He had to have spent a fortune on this alone. It was unbelievable.

"Damon…" Shaylee whispered, shaking her head. That was amazing. She couldn't even start to guess what was in the next box. She squeezed her eyes shut tight as she saw the dress inside! It was the dress she found when they went shopping. Lord…Damon.

That dress cost 75 dollars. This was ridiculous. He…this was amazing. Shaylee wasn't used to getting any of this. At all. She wasn't used to being spoiled by her boyfriend. This was…completely amazing! Where on earth was he taking her tonight?

She hurried and did her homework, then took a shower. Instead of leaving her hair in its usually wavy self, she took out her big curling iron and started to curl her hair elegantly.

That's when her cell phone rang. She put down the curling iron and headed into her room, decked out in her new dress, new shoes, new jewelry. Damon sure new how to charm a girl.

She picked her phone up off of her desk and grinned brightly. She flicked it open.

"Hey Most perfect Boyfriend in the whole world." Shaylee told him. She heard Damon chuckle from the other end.

"I take it you like the presents." Damon spoke. Shaylee laughed.

"That's an understatement!" She exclaimed giggling, looking into the mirror. Damon smiled and Ric looked at him questioning at the grill. He waved him off, smirking. He could only imagine her face right then.

"So…don't hate me." Damon asked her. Shaylee's face immediately dropped.

"What?"

"Meet me at the grill, instead? I know I said I would pick you up-" Damon started to apologize.

"So not a problem. After you bought me all of these things, it's the least I can do." Shaylee told him, her grin back on her face.

Damon chuckled and nodded his head. "Alright, I'll see you soon."

Shay couldn't even begin to describe the feeling within her at the moment. A date…with Damon. Sure…she's hung out with Damon…kissed him, slept with him…but this…this was different. This was a real date.

Her heart was going a million miles a minute. It was crazy…just thinking about it made Shaylee feel giddy.

She walked in her tall heels and her new dress into the grill, feeling awkward as at least 10 people turned to stare at her. Really? It's that considered to be rude?

Shaylee rolled her eyes and peered around the room, looking for her boyfriend. She saw Damon turn around in his seat. Obviously Alaric had told him she was here.

"Damon." Alaric spoke once, nodding towards the entrance to the grill. Damon furrowed his eyebrows curiously as he turned in his seat, and saw the most gorgeous girl in the whole world.

Her blonde hair was in large, fluffy, relaxed ringlets that went down past her shoulders. Her eyes a glittery, deep, bright blue that he could stare in forever. The sapphire's on her body bringing out her eyes even more. He knew he picked a good color, and her birthstone.

That dress…god it looked amazing. She looked like a model who just strutted off the catwalk. Her long, long toned legs revealed sexily. The dress cut short, but modest, sticking out from her body slightly with tool. Her curves looked amazing in the bodice, with a diamond pendent where the empire wasted sash.

Shaylee saw Damon smile at her brightly, making her feel like she was the only girl in the room. Which, for Damon, was completely true.

"Hi gorgeous." Damon commented, standing up and walking over to her, not being able to resist. Shaylee blushed and chuckled.

"You don't look too bad yourself." Shaylee told him, smiling at him. He was wearing his classic black on black outfit. He always looked amazingly sexy though.

Damon smirked and wrapped his arms around her waist, surprising Shay. Shaylee looked up at him with questioningly wide eyes. Damon smirked and bent down, kissing her passionately.

Shaylee sucked in a surprised breath, but kissed him back, bringing her arms up, behind his neck, her fingers twirling in the ends of his hair.

Shaylee pulled away, not comfortable with making out in front of all these people, however, Damon could care less. He wanted the whole world to know she was his, and only his.

Shaylee smiled up at him, laughing slightly as was Damon, the two looked totally blessed out in happiness with each other.

"C'mon." Damon told her smirking with a nod of his head. He wrapped an arm around her waist and led her to their table.

"Damon…what about-" Shaylee started to say. Did Damon want Alaric to know?

"So…you two…" Alaric started, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion. Damon shrugged and smirked at him, pulling out Shay's chair for her to sit down.

Shay smiled and her heart fluttered again as Damon pushed her in slightly. Damon sat down next to her after that.

"So…is this where we're having our date? With Ric?" Shaylee asked, chuckling. Ric gave her a look, and Damon scoffed, rolling his eyes.

"Not a chance. You're not a Grill date." Damon told her, smirking over at her. She deserved to much better than that.

Shay blushed slightly, mentally cursing herself. It's not like Damon's never complimented her before! Why was she blushing so heavily?

However, in the corner, Shaylee saw Jules walk in. She rolled her eyes and immediately narrowed them at her, talking with Matt in the entrance.

"By any chance, do you know Tyler Lockwood?" Jules asked him.

Shaylee tapped Damon's arm, and motioned over there, to the skank. She had a low cut white tank top with a black braw showing. Classy with a capital K…

"Mmm…so that's Mason's mystery girl." Damon summarized.

Shaylee nodded, observing Damon's reaction. Thankfully, he didn't seem too impressed with her.

"Yeah, where is Mason anyway?" Alaric asked curiously. Damon sighed.

"Decomposing in his trrruck." Damon told him, putting emphasis on the letter R.

Jules said goodbye to Matt as all three where watching her from their booth on the higher level of the grill.

"So, you think she's a werewolf?" Alaric asked them curiously. Shay shrugged.

"I hope not, being it's a full moon, Ric." Shaylee took the words right out of Damon's mouth as she put a hand on his arm. She didn't know what she would do if anything would happen to him. One bite…that's all it took.

"We should definitely find out." Damon told them, digging a plastic bag out of his pocket. It was filled with a small, green plant.

"And what is that?" Shaylee complained. Damon was going to be an idiot and do something reckless. She knew it…she could feel it.

"Wolfsbane." Damon told them, handing it to Ric.

"So, how are you going to use it? Shove it in her arm like you did Lexi?" Shaylee asked dryly. Damon looked over at her and narrowed his eyes.

"I'm thinking something a little bit more subtle than that. And if you remember correctly, I didn't shoot her with vervain. Liz did that."

"No, you just drove a stake threw her heart." Shaylee commented.

Alaric smiled as they entertained him. The conversation proved to be perfectly matched on both ends.

"Are you never going to let me forget that?"

"Depends on what your plan is." Shaylee told Damon. Damon sighed.

"What do I do best?" Damon asked her, raising an eyebrow. Shaylee narrowed her eyes, immediately not liking this plan.

Shaylee sat at the table with Ric, her elbow on it, her hand on her head, holding it up as she watched Damon flirting with Jules. Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

"Why don't you go home? It looks like Damon's going to be awhile." Alaric told her softly, apologetically.

He understood completely. It was about time they got together. They were perfect for each other, and everybody could see that. Right now, an amazing girl was being let down. He knew Damon had to do this…but Shay didn't have to be here.

Shaylee watched in anger, jealousy taking over her. She new Damon didn't like her…but that didn't matter. He was so damn good at acting like it! She was all over him.

But Shaylee was nervous. Damon had Alaric slip Wolfsbane into her drink. If she found out…she could go after Damon that night. It was a full moon! One bite, and he was gone. Forever.

"Yeah. I think I will do that." Shaylee told him sighing. She got up, and took her purse, turning back to Alaric.

"Tell Damon I'll-"

"Tell Damon what?" Damon asked, suddenly beside her, making her gasp and she turned around.

"And where does she think you are?" Shaylee asked chuckling. Damon shrugged. He said he was going to visit the bathroom.

"Does that matter?" He asked her, smirking. Shaylee smiled up at him as he did that feeling again. Feeling like she was the only girl in the room. He was good at that.

"Look, as much as I like seeing you flirting with her, I'm gonna head out." Shaylee told Damon, starting to walk out.

"I'll walk you out." Damon told her, wrapping an arm around her waist. Shaylee smiled, and nodded.

They walked out of the grill together, their bodies touching. Finally…they were together. But Shaylee knew that tonight was too good to be true. Something always seems to get in the way of their date…she should understand that by now.

They came to her car, and Damon grimaced at it.

"I'm sorry. I know that I promised this date-"

"Don't worry about it." Shaylee told him, shaking her head. "we need to know if she's a werewolf."

Damon furrowed his eyebrows, looking at her, knowing that wasn't the truth. Truth was, she was really disappointed, making him feel guiltier by the second.

"So, I'll see you at home?" Shaylee asked Damon. The boarding house had sort of become her home by now. She was staying all the time, almost every night.

Damon smiled and nodded. That sounded good. Their home.

"Absolutely." Damon promised, bringing his hand up, kissing her softly. Shaylee kissed him back, and pulled away too fast for Damon's taste.

He opened the door for her, and Shaylee smiled at him, climbing in her car. He shut it, and watched her drive away, trying to think of what he could do to make this up to her.

"Shay!" Damon called as he walked into the house carrying 2 plastic bags in his hand. He had just gotten done trying to salvage their date. He had a few surprises for her.

However, Jules just told him that he was 'marked.' he wasn't sure what that meant at the moment. It was a full moon…so he wasn't going to try to guess. It wasn't worth getting bit over.

"Hey Babe, where are you?" Damon called, putting the things in the kitchen.

"Living room!" Shaylee called. She was curled up on the couch, her feet on the coffee table in front of her, a blanket over her pajama clothed body.

She sat up, looking in the direction she knew Damon would be coming in the room. She erupted in a smile as he carried in a large bowl of movie theatre popcorn and 2 sodas.

"What did you do?" Shaylee asked confused, and endeared. Her heart fluttered just at the thought that he went to do all of this, just to make up for screwing up their date.

"Just trying to salvage what's left of this date." Damon told her smirking as he sat the popcorn down in her lap. It was a giant sized one, and she loved it. He smiled and chuckled at her as she immediately took a handle, and ate one piece at a time.

"By bringing me popcorn and sodas?" Shaylee asked smiling. Damon made an 'oh' face and held up a finger, telling her he would be right back. She saw him zoomed out of the room, and she sat up again, turning slightly, looking at his retreating form, completely confused. What was going on?

Damon smirked as he walked back in the room, carrying 2 movies, groaning inside in preparation, but he knew it would make Shay's day.

"What's that?" Shaylee asked suspiciously, cocking an eyebrow as he walked back into the room, obviously hiding something behind his back.

Damon smirked. "Close your eyes."

Shaylee sighed and pursed her lips, eventually closing her eyes, making Damon chuckle at her.

"open." He told her, holding the DVD's in front of her. Shaylee's eyes widened and her jaw dropped.

Twilight, and New Moon.

"But you hate these." Shaylee told him, grinning widely. Damon looked down at her in amazement. Her smile was amazing, and he felt happy just seeing it.

"eh. I figured…one night isn't going to kill me." Damon told her, widening his eyes teasingly. Shaylee let out a breath in a laugh, and put the popcorn bucket on the couch, and got up, wrapping her arms behind his neck.

"Thank you." Shaylee told him, grinning up at him. Damon smirked and leaned down, placing his lips against hers.

Shaylee smiled into the kiss and pulled him closer, her hands winding up into his hair, kissing him passionately. Damon groaned and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her flush against his body.

Damon ran his tongue along her lower lip and Shay smirked and immediately opened her mouth, greeting his tongue with hers as their lips were enticed in a passionate kiss.

Shaylee pulled away slowly, smiling up at him brightly. Damon smiled down at her, and held her bright blue eyes.

"You're the best." Shaylee told him. Damon smirked and nodded, not saying anything.

"What?" Shaylee asked suspiciously. Damon just shook his head, placing his finger to his lips.

"what?" Shaylee complained again. Damon shook his head again.

"No, I just want to…savor, this moment." Damon told her smirking. Shaylee narrowed her eyes and shook her head. Way to ruin a good moment.

"What?" Damon complained. "I don't hear it very much."

Shaylee laughed as she sat back down on the couch, pulling the popcorn bucket onto her lap.

"Just put the movie in."

About 2 ½ hours later, Shaylee and Damon were laughing hysterically at Kristen Stewarts horrible acting.

"God, you would think they could choose someone who knows how to talk without touching her hair or looking at the floor and fluttering her eyes." Damon complained, making Shaylee laugh.

Shaylee was partially laying on her side on the couch, with Damon spooning her slightly, his hand on her thigh. Shaylee was laying against the cushions on the couch watching New Moon as Bella started screaming in the middle of the night.

"Good Lord. When the love of Hermione's life left her, she continued to look for keys to destroying the most dark, powerful wizard. When the love of Bella's life left her, she curled up in the fetal position, went numb for months, then jumped off a cliff." Shaylee commented, rolling her eyes.

She loved twilight, but most everything was mockable to her. Her and Damon went to New Moon premiere at midnight. She had dragged him there, and they sat in the back, laughing at it, coming up with their own dialogue. They had to see it again the next day…to actually see it.

As the movie came to an end, Shaylee turned around and curled into Damon's chest. Damon smiled and wrapped his arms around her, holding her close.

"I love you, you know that?" Shaylee asked Damon, looking up into his brilliant blue eyes. Damon smirked and shrugged.

"eh, I guess you're not so bad." Damon told her teasingly, smirking. Shaylee rolled her eyes and slapped his arm.

"Ass."

"Oh, you love me." Damon told her pointedly, raising his eyebrows, smirking. Shaylee laughed.

"I'm officially taking it back."

"Nope." Damon told her smiling, popping the P. "Too late."

Shaylee laughed and smiled up at him. Damon looked down at her, meeting her bright, shinning eyes. Damon raised his hand up and took her chin between his thumb and pointer finger, his thumb running over her bottom lip lovingly.

"I love you too."
