So this is a pretty short chapter, but it's leading up to some good stuff. Anyways, review and enjoy!

Chapter 21

EPOV

I woke up and immediately regretted opening my eyes. My head was pounding and I felt like absolute complete shit.

"Morning sunshine," I heard a voice say," how are you doing?" I looked up and saw Damon smirking at me.

"Oh my god," I said," I literally have the worst hangover ever."

"Yeah I figured you would," he said," so I came prepared." He handed me a few Advil and a glass of water.

"Thanks," I said before swallowing the pills and drinking the rest of the glass. I looked down and realized I had on a t-shirt, but I was still wearing my cheerleading skirt. What the hell happened?

"Uhh what happened last night," I said," why am I wearing this?"

"You pulled of the top half of your uniform while you were laying on the bathroom floor," he said laughing," I was a perfect gentleman and I got you a shirt to cover up with."

"Oh god," I groaned as I rolled over," I am so embarrassed. Did I make a fool out of myself?"

"Only a little," he said smiling," but it was cute."

"Do you mind if I shower here," I asked," I feel gross."

"Yeah go ahead," he said getting out of bed," you can use my bathroom."

I walked into Damon's bathroom and took off my clothes to get into the huge glass shower. I cleaned myself quickly and thanked god Damon had decent shampoo and conditioner. It makes sense considering he has such perfect hair. After I stepped out and dried off I looked around for something I could use to fix my breath. I searched through his cabinets and found a bottle of Listerine.

"Thank goodness," I said aloud before rinsing my mouth out. I walked back into Damon's room and found him lying on the bed watching TV.

"Hey," he said," so Stefan just informed me that he's throwing another party tonight. Are you up for round 2?"

"Oh god no," I said as I climbed up on the bed next to him," I don't think I'm going to be drinking again for a very very long time."

"I don't blame you," he said laughing. He looked at me for a minute and smiled before he leaned down to kiss me. I responded quickly and ran my fingers through his hair. I figured this was as good a time as any to bring up what I'd been meaning to ask him.

"So what are we," I asked breaking the kiss," like what is it we're doing here?"

"Kissing," he said doing that eye thing again," I think we're pretty good at it."

"You know what I mean," I said," are we like together?"

"Well I was hoping we were," he said," you know I want to be with you Elena."

"I want to be with you too," I said smiling.

"Ok then in that case," he said with a smirk," Elena Gilbert will you be my girlfriend?"

"I would be honored," I said as my stomach did a somersault. Damon Salvatore was my boyfriend. I couldn't believe it. He pulled my body towards his and kissed me with everything he had. It was the greatest moment of my life. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he ran his hands up and down the side of my body before bringing his mouth lower. He moved my hair over to one side and began planting kisses down my neck as his hands slipped under my shirt. His hand moved higher and grazed over my bra-covered chest while he sucked on my pulse point.

"Oh god," I moaned. He smiled and I brought his lips back to mine. He pushed my t-shirt up to reveal my flat stomach and then he pulled the whole thing off all together. He kissed down over my chest, then my torso and he stopped just above the waistband of my shorts. Just as he was about to pull my shorts down someone knocked on the bedroom door.

"Fuck," he said resting his head down in defeat. I quickly reached over and picked up my shirt off the floor so I could cover myself. I got up off the bed so whoever was knocking wouldn't know what we'd been up to. Damon went over, opened the door, and Stefan walked in.

"Hi sorry," he said," I hope I'm not interrupting anything. I ordered food and I wanted to know if you were hungry. I hadn't realized Elena was here, but there's enough for all of us."

"Uhm thanks Stefan that's nice," I said with a small smile," but I should probably go home and get a change of clothes."

"I'll have to give her a ride," Damon said annoyed," she doesn't have her car."

"Right ok sorry I'll see you guys later," Stefan said before exiting the room.

"Uhh let's get going," Damon said. I grabbed my stuff and followed him out to the Camaro.

DPOV

I literally wanted to rip Stefan's head off. Elena and I were having a perfect afternoon before he interrupted us.

"So that was weird," Elena said as we drove to her house," I mean that whole thing with Stefan."

"Yeah just a little," I said," I think he's up to something. He's never been this nice, ever."

"Well what could he possibly be up to," Elena said confused," does he think that being nice to me is going to change anything?"

"I don't know," I said," I think he needs to understand that you have a new boyfriend. A hotter one."

She blushed as she smiled back at me. I loved making her blush. I pulled up to her house and we got out to go inside.

"Hey Lena," Jeremy said without looking up from his video game," Aunt Jenna called and said she'd be spending the night at her boyfriend's again."

"Wait really," Elena asked him," this is the second night in a row."

"Yeah I guess she likes him," Jeremy said," I just hope he's not a jackass."

"One can only hope," Elena said," but don't wait up for me I won't be home tonight."

"Ok good," Jeremy said," because I invited Anna over and I was kind of hoping we'd have the house to ourselves."

"Gross ok," Elena said as she pulled me up the stairs to her room.

"Jeremy has a girlfriend," I asked," is she hot?"

"Oh my god," she said punching me in the arm," you're disgusting."

"Ouch I was just teasing," I said rubbing my arm," don't be so abusive."

"Sorry," she said smiling. I laid down on her bed and watched her while she got her stuff together. She was beautiful, and she didn't know she was beautiful. I don't think she had any idea how much she effected me.

"Ok I'm ready," she said carrying a duffel bag. I took her bag so she didn't have to carry it and drove her back to the boarding house for the party. I had a feeling tonight would be a good night.
