Chapter 21

Elena giggled as her back hit the bed. Stefan placed a kiss on her lips and she tried to get into it. She was getting good at the pretending part. Stefan pulled away as Elena covered herself with a blanket staring at him. He took one of her hands and smiled.

"So what's the plan for today?"

Before Elena could say anything she heard the voice.

"An art lesson with me."

Elena sprung out of the bed and looked at Damon. He was casually leaning against the door frame looking at her and Stefan.

"Damon, what are you doing here?" she asked walking towards him as if there was a magnetic pull between them.

Stefan had gotten out of the bed and was now beside her.

"I guess that's my cue to leave. I'll see you later."

Stefan kissed her and nodded at Damon before he left shutting the door behind him. Elena sighed and sat back on the bed.

"Charming boy." Damon said rolling his eyes

"Don't talk about him like that Damon."

Damon kneeled on the floor next to her and stroked her face.

'"Don't."

"Why not?"

"Stefan is my boyfriend. Not you."

"You could have us both if you wanted."

"I don't want you back."

"Are you sure about that?"

Before she could stop him, Damon's lips were on hers as they fell back onto the bed. She pulled Damon closer as his hands traced her body. He pulled her shirt up kissing her stomach and unbuttoning her pants traveling down. The door opened and Elena flew to the floor as Damon stood up. Thankfully the bed was covering her so she could quickly button her pants and pretend like she was looking for something.

"Have you found that box of paint yet Elena?" Damon asked

He sounded really calm for a person who had almost been caught probably because he had nothing to lose.

"Sorry. I forgot my phone. Do you need any help Elena?" Stefan asked.

"Uh no. I'm good. I actually think I left them at Jenna's house."

Elena stood up and smiled hoping she didn't look guilty. Apparently not because Stefan said nothing and kissed her goodbye as soon as he located his phone. Damon sighed and gestured to the easel.

"Let's get to work."

Elena nodded glad that she wouldn't have to worry about them picking up where they left off. The mood was ruined and for that she was grateful. At least she hoped she was.
