Heads up-Fluff Chapter!
Elena pulled her lips from his, tilting her head to the right with a silly little grin on her face. "So, does this mean you forgive me?" She said biting her lip.
Damon rolled his beautiful blue eyes at her and sighed heavily, joking with her. "I guess." He said as if it was the biggest burden.
Elena swatted at his chest but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward to meet his lips once again.
She couldn't help but smile against his lips. She felt so perfect in his arms, his lips on hers and knowing that when she pulled away she'd be met with his heart melting smile and ocean blue eyes.
She finally pulled back with a little grin on her face as he looked at her with glazed eyes. He caught her smile and gave her a grin back, his blue eyes shining.
Elena couldn't believe that here was this guy that she had fallen madly in love with blindly, and he still turned out to be the most gorgeous man she could find. She knew she was lucky but she could see in his eyes he felt the same way. It made the butterflies in her stomach go crazy.
She bit her lip and looked into her lap. The feeling that was sparking between them was too intense for her after a long day so she instantly grabbed a new topic.
"I can't wait until Miranda and David come home. I have to thank them! Are you sure they don't mind letting thirteen stay?" Elena asked, her eyebrows drawing together and her lips falling into an adorable pout.
"They don't mind at all." Damon assured her tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. He caught on that she wanted to change the topic and went with it though he would have preferred to really talk to her, yet when he saw her excited smile he didn't mind nearly as much.
Elena's grin was excited and infectious. "I'm going to go see him!" She said with a squeal before moving off his lap and practically running up the stairs.
"Bring the little fur ball down here!" he called out.
He soon heard Elena's footsteps approaching and as she entered he reveled in her smile that now lit up the room. She was looking down at the kitten with a smile on her face and her eyes fill of wonderment and adoration.
Her eyes met his as the kitten released a small yawn. "Isn't he cute?" She squealed sitting back down beside Damon.
"Adorable." Damon said chuckling as he swung an arm over her shoulder.
"Come on you big softy! Admit it! You wanted to keep him to!" Elena said raising her eyebrows, her eyes sparkling in amusement.
"Did not. I did it for you." He said rolling his eyes.
"Yeah, whatever. You keep telling yourself that." Elena said with a smirk as she patted his chest. "I guess we have to get a litter box for him, and some food." Elena said. Thirteen was looking up at her curiously and she smiled to herself realizing it was hers. She actually had her first pet that would care for her no matter what.
"Did you want to go get it now?" Damon asked. He pushed himself off the couch and glanced at her expectantly.
She glanced at the fur ball in her lap for a second her eyebrows drawing together.
Damon caught the look and the hesitation gleaming in her eyes. "You can bring him." He said with a small chuckle.
"Okay!" She responded quickly and enthusiastically, standing up and walking with Damon towards the front door with Thirteen wrapped tightly in her arms.
Damon smiled at the adorable scene that Elena and her kitten made. Her big doe eyes were glancing between him and the furball and he had to admit the kitten was cute with its big green eyes and absolutely tiny paws. The whole picture just put a warm feeling in his gut, though he'd never admit it to anyone.
They walked out to the car and made their way to the pet store. The drive was filled with comfortable chatter and a whole bunch of "ooh's" and "awe's" from Elena whenever her new pride and joy did something amusing.
Once they got there they made their way straight to the section for cats and kittens.
A young brunette approached them with a smile on her face. "Hello there, who is this little guy?" She asked cooing at Thirteen who had just woke up from the car ride.
"This is Thirteen. We just found him today and we decided to keep him." Damon explained. "We just needed to get all the supplies."
"Oh okay, I can help you with that." The woman said with a smile. "So here are your litter boxes." She started. For the next forty-five minutes they got everything they needed and learned what they had to about training the kitten and taking care of it.
They made their way to the car, their arms filled with all the supplies needed to get started with their new kitten.
Once they got into the car Elena flashed her bright smile at Damon. "Thank you Damon." She said sincerely.
"Don't worry about it." He said smiling back at her.
"No really. Even after everything I did to you, you still went and gave me the best surprise ever. Thank you so much." She said.
"You're welcome." He finally said even though he didn't like her thanking him for such small things. All it took was a phone call to his dad. He wanted her to know she deserved everything he did for her, even if she did scare him.
Elena gave him a quick smile as he pulled out of the parking lot before turning to her kitten that had fallen right back asleep.
"We're home!" Damon shouted as he opened the door.
"Let's see the newest member of the Salvatore's!" Miranda cooed skittering out from the kitchen.
Elena stepped around Damon showing off Thirteen with a proud grin.
"Oh my gosh. Isn't he just adorable?" She squealed.
"I thought so too." Elena agreed. "Are you sure you don't mind keeping him?" Elena asked hesitantly.
"Not at all dear." Miranda assured her. "He's just so cute!" She squealed again waking the kitten up.
"And his eyes!" She gushed as Thirteen lifted his heavy eyelids.
Damon chuckled and lifted his eyes to meet David's. "Hey pop's!"
"Damon." David nodded in acknowledgement. He was smiling at the three that were standing in the doorway. He was so proud of his son, and his wife and now Elena.
Damon then strolled over and both he and David walked into the kitchen.
"What an amazing addition to the family." David said quietly, a peaceful smile gracing his features.
"It is pretty cute I guess." Damon laughed as he shrugged his shoulders.
"I wasn't talking about the kitten." David chuckled, shaking his head.
Damon looked at his father and realized the look of happiness and joy on his face. The corners of his lips pulled up into his own smile. "'Lena's great, huh?" Damon said, his eyes twinkling.
"Best decision we ever made." David nodded in agreement.
"Mom loves her too." Damon said.
"She always wanted a daughter." David said, almost thoughtful. "She had these dreams of going shopping together and looking for a prom dress, and watching chick flicks. I'm glad she has that now."
"Whoa dad, don't make me feel weird like she's my sister or anything." Damon said with wide eyes making a face at his dad.
David chuckled in response. "It's just even if you got a steady girl friend that wasn't Elena, once you were close enough your mother would give her that role anyways." David assured him. "This way it just moved quicker."
Damon nodded in understanding and was about to say something but David quickly continued.
"Even though it moved quicker in her getting to know your family, doesn't mean it has to go quicker physically." David said in a slightly more reprimanding tone.
"Dad!" Damon groaned, though David just plowed through.
"Even though she lives under the same roof doesn't mean you two have a free pass to have sex whenever you wa-" David suddenly halted and Damon watched his face go bright red.
He turned around to where his dad's vision lingered and standing there with wide eyes and rosy cheeks was a very embarrassed Elena.
"Elena, didn't see you there." David said rubbing the back of his neck.
"Yeah, I'll just…" She trailed off as she turned and practically ran out of the kitchen into her own room.
"Way to go Dad!" Damon groaned rubbing his hand down his face in frustration and embarrassment.
"I didn't know she was there." David said lifting his hands defensively.
"I've got to go clean this up!" Damon said slowly, dreading the next conversation he'd be having.
"Good luck with that." David said darting out of the room and into his study.
Damon narrowed his eyes at his father's back as he ran from the room, then sighed and started to walk towards Elena's room.
"'Lena?" He called, knocking lightly on the door.
"Yeah?" She called back meekly.
"Can I come in?" He asked
"Mhmm." She said a little quieter.
He walked in to find her sitting cross legged on her bed playing with the hem of her shirt, refusing to meet his eyes.
He walked over and stood in front of her bed. When she still didn't look up he crawled onto the bed and sat against the headboard. He pulled her in between his legs, as she easily complied, wrapping his arms around her stomach and resting his chin on her head.
"That was embarrassing." She mumbled quietly.
He chuckled lightly. "That's parents for you."
"Yeah I guess I haven't got used to the whole parents thing yet." She said just as quiet.
They sat there for a moment in silence before she spoke again, even quieter this time. "We haven't even talked about it." She murmured.
"Did you want to?" He asked nervously.
"Not really, no. It's just- your dad is already bringing it up. I've never had a relationship so, I mean do you expect it this early. Am I making you wait?" She asked on, her voice getting quieter and quieter.
"No, no! We can wait until you're ready love." He assured her. "My dad is just being a dad and preparing and he's just doing what he thinks he's supposed to do." Damon explained.
"I'm not ready." She whispered.
"You don't have to be." Damon said in a soothing voice squeezing her a little tighter. He then hoisted her so she was across his lap and able to see his face. "This," He said giving her a soft, slow kiss. "Is good enough for me." He whispered against her lips.
Elena smiled against his lips but quickly caved at the sensations brought on by his hot breath on her lips. She crashed her lips back onto his and maneuvered herself so that she was straddling him. Her fingers knotted in his hair and nibbled on his bottom lip playfully. Her stomach did a somersault as he moaned into her mouth.
"Do I have to finish my speech?" David called as he walked past the room.
Elena pulled back blushing furiously and looking towards the now-empty doorway. She turned back to Damon who had a smirk on his face.
"Didn't you think to close that?" She asked swatting at his chest.
"Sorry." He mumbled capturing her lips again.
She pulled back again and he groaned. "Not while your parents are home." She said. "Besides it's late. We should be getting to bed."
He nearly burst out laughing at the expression on her face. She had a serious expression but it just didn't go well with her swollen lips and flushed cheeks.
"How about I sleep in here tonight?" He offered raising his eyebrows.
"After your dad's sex talk with you?" She whispered. "I don't think so."
He frowned at her and his bottom lip fell into a pout. "He doesn't have to know. Please?" He tried even though he hated to beg.
She leaned forward and gave him a peck on his oh-so-kissable pout. "Fine." She whispered. "But I am not taking the blame when he catches you in here."
"You mean 'if' he catches me in here." He said with a wink. "They'll be going to bed soon. See you in a bit, love." He said giving her one chaste kiss and hopping off the bed. He quickly went to the door and slipped into the hallway, but not before sending her a smile from the doorway.
Elena got ready for bed, brushing her teeth and throwing her hair into a messy bun at the top of her head. She threw on some of the Victoria's Secret Pink sleep shorts that Miranda got her and a matching hoodie before slipping under her sheets and lying on her side.
She heard a light tap on her door after another half an hour as she was drifting off to sleep. "'Lena?" She heard Damon's voice from the door.
"Mmm?" She murmured sleepily. She barely realized what was happening until she felt the bed sink in front of her.
"Sleepy?" He asked chuckling.
She made a small sound of agreement before snuggling herself into his chest. His arms wrapped around her and the last thing she felt before she faded into oblivion was the beat of his heart and his fingers drawing lazy circles on her back.
I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am. Work. School. Projects. Christmas Shopping. Everything. So sorry!
