A/N: Hi everyone! I decided to update since it's been like 29 days since my last update on this story :) Thank you for being so patient, but I would like some more reviews ;) Anyway, this chapter just shows what we all already know: Damon and Danielle are like two strong forces that are being pulled together and simply can't stay away from each other. Now, on with the chapter ;)

DISCLAIMER: I own nothing that has to do with TVD. I just own Danielle and William and any other OC mentioned.

"Okay Jenna, I admit, Mason was kind of sweet today on our first date." I said into the phone as I walked towards the forest. I had just finished my first official date with Mason and it had been quite amazing actually. He had picked me up in his truck and brought me to the Lockwood mansion where he had set up dinner for just the two of us. He had acted like a complete gentleman the entire time and actually made me feel happy again, but it had just been two days since we met and I didn't want to rush into things before I got myself sorted out. Not to mention my big problem with William and my other problem with Damon.

"Give me all the details!" Jenna ordered into the phone and I looked around as I ran into the forest quickly so that no one would see me.

"Details huh?" I asked. "Well I'll tell you when I get home. If I'm not to tired that is." I told her and jumped over a tree that had fallen down across my path. "But I have to go now, I have an appointment to get to." I lied.

"What kind of an appointment?" She asked and I once again looked around a little before sitting down on a log.

"Uh... A dental appointment." I said finally. "Oh, I need to go now, the dentist just arrived. Bye Jenna!" I said and hung up quickly. I looked over by the tree that was standing in front of me and shook my head. "The coast is clear, you can come out now." I told him and he stepped out. He was wearing his usual clothing, almost entirely black and it made him look very sophisticated.

"Hello Dani." He said smugly. "How are you?" He asked and I raised an eyebrow.

"I hardly think you called me to get over here to find out how I was doing Damon." I told him and he shook his head.

"No I came to ask you how you and your little new boyfriend are doing." He said sarcastically.

"Mason isn't my boyfriend." I snapped.

"Yet." He snapped back at me. We glared at each other for a minute until I gave up.

"Just tell me what you want so that I can go home please." I said and he looked at me strangely.

"Why are you so Goddamn stressed? Don't you like hanging out with your old boyfriend?" He asked and I knew right then that he was going to talk about Mason or me and his relationship. "You are going out with that Lockwood guy just to mess with me, admit it Dani." He told me and I gaped at him. "You are trying to make me jealous, aren't you?" He pushed and I chuckled shaking my head at him.

"You actually think that I want to make you jealous?" I asked him and he rolled his eyes at me.

"Yes, why else would you date an air-headed surfer?" He asked and I just chuckled a little again.

"I'm guessing that you are jealous." I stated.

"Why would you think that? Damon Salvatore does not get jealous Danielle and you should know so." He said and I tilted my head looking at him.

"So why did you interrupt my date with Tyler? You know the one when we still hated each other?" I asked him and he seemed to think about it for a second or two.

"Because I didn't want you to date a little kid." He exclaimed, taking a step closer towards me.

"Well then you should have just told me Damon." I stated and took a step closer.

"Like you would have listened to me!" A step.

"I would!" Another step.

"So if I tell you not to date Mason, would you listen to me?" He asked sarcastically.

"No!" I protested.

"You see? Why?" He took another step.

"Because you can't tell me what to do!" I stated in an obvious tone.

"Just like you told me to give up hope on us." He stated quietly and that was when I realized what this was all about.

"Damon I-" I didn't get to finish my sentence because he had already crashed his lips against mine.

The kiss was passionate and quickly grew more heated. He pushed me back against a tree and trailed his hands down my sides and put them underneath my shirt, rubbing small circles with his thumbs on my stomach. My own arms found themselves around his neck as I pulled him closer to deepen the kiss. It felt wonderful but I knew it was wrong. I pulled away, flushed and confused.

"Damon. Stop it." I ordered when he once again attacked my lips. "Stop." I mumbled against his lips and let a tear escape. He pulled away and looked at me confused. His hand went to my cheek as he wiped the tear away. "You know that we can't be together." I told him. "It's to dangerous." I said and he sighed putting his forehead to mine.

"Then why are you with that stupid Lockwood Dani?" He asked me and I pulled away.

"Because I actually don't give a damn. I don't think things are serious between the two of us. We've just been on one date and even if it was really sweet, I don't know where things are going. So, are you happy? That was the real reason you wanted to meet here, wasn't it?" I asked him crossing my arms. He smiled a little at he and leaned in.

"That and this." He said as he pressed his lips against mine again. I stopped him again.

"I told you Damon. I don't want this. It will be easier for us just to move on. That's what I'm doing with Mason." I told him and he sighed a little.

"You know that you can't just move on like that after what we had." He told me. "And besides, I don't like Mason. There is something weird with him." He said and I looked at him.

"Who said you got to chose who I could date?" I asked him but he ignored my question.

"Anyway, I think we should talk more often and maybe have more meetings like this." He said as he pulled back and began to walk away. My body felt cold without him pressed against me.

"These things aren't going to become a regular thing for us Damon!" I called after him. "If you want to be my friend, fine. But nothing more!" I said and he turned around and blew me a kiss.

"I'm telling you there's something off with Mason." He said. "And I am going to find out what it is." With those words he left and left me staring at the woods where he had disappeared. Something inside me told me that what he had just said was true.

With determination I walked up towards the Salvatore Boarding house. Who the hell do you think you are to leave me like that in the woods! I yelled through my mind at Damon, who I knew would open the door immediately. When he did, I pushed my way through and walked inside. Stefan was sitting on the couch rubbing his temples.

"God Dani, even I heard that." He muttered but brightened up then realizing what he had said. He stood up and walked over to me to hug me. "I've missed you." He said and I hugged him back.

"I've missed you too. You haven't been over at Elena's for a while. You should really come an visit more often." I told him, still smiling. Then I turned around to face Damon. "Unlike someone who seems to be stalking me or something." I said bitterly.

"You just couldn't keep away, could you?" Damon said and I glared at him.

"You tell me that there's something wrong with my boyf- uh, friend and then you leave me in the woods alone. Shouldn't I at least get to know what you meant by that?" I asked him and he crossed his arms at me.

"You haven't figured it out yet?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"You have?" I asked crossing my arms too.

"No. But I will." He said and I shrugged.

"Fine, whatever. Just don't hurt him Damon." I told him seriously.

"Do you really care about him?" He asked and I shrugged.

"I told you in the forest that I don't know yet. If I do, I'll make sure that you know before I do anything else." I said.

"Anything else. What the hell have you done until now? Have you already slept with him?" He asked furiously.

"Damon, I don't think that is any of your business considering that Dani broke up with you." Stefan said a little amused by Damon's obvious jealousy.

"You see, I'm not the only one who thinks that." I stated motioning to Stefan. Suddenly my phone rang. I pulled it out and answered. "Hi Mason." I said and I knew Damon immediately began to listen to the conversation.

"I had a great time today Danielle and I was wondering if you would like to go out for a trip with me on Monday next week?" I chuckled a little.

"Don't you think we're moving a little too fast on this?" I asked him and saw Damon who nodded frantically, giving me the thumbs up.

"I don't want to pressure you or anything but I have something really important to tell you." He said.

"Well why wait until Monday then?" I asked him curiously.

"Because I need to prepare a few things and I'll be busy for a couple of days. Is that okay with you though?" He asked and I smiled.

"Yes. I'd love to go on another date with you on Monday-"

"-night. It needs to be then. It will be very special and you wont be disappointed. I promise you that." There was a slight rustling on the other line. "I need to go now. Bye Danielle!" He said and hung up. I looked at the phone before putting it back into my pocket.

"Well that was interesting." Damon said scratching his chin. "Little Dani has another date with mystery-uncle Mason Lockwood." He said and I glared again.

"Just stay away Damon. Let me at least be happy without you." There was something about my words that had hurt him because I noticed that his face fell a little although he recovered quickly.

"Yeah, whatever Dani. Go run to your little friends now." He said shooing me towards the door.

"Are you throwing me out?" I gasped and he smiled smugly before claiming my lips in a small kiss. When he pulled away he pushed me outside and slammed the door in my face.

Yes, I am. I heard him think. He had known I would check his thoughts afterward.

Go to hell, bastard. I thought back and I heard him chuckle inside. I hate you. I mumbled in my thoughts.

I hate you too. He replied as I left. I turned around at one point and saw his face in his window but then the curtains fell and he was gone.

God I missed him.

A/N: So do I deserve at leats five reviews? Please review as much as you can, I would like this story to hit 200 reviews or at least over 150 :) That would be like a dream come true! 3

I seriously haven't thanked you guys enough so thank you all of you! I love you (in a non-freaky way) and please, please, please give me suggestions on what you would like to happen in the story. I feel like I haven't had any action in here and I need some suggestions on "action-scenes". I mean sure, I have the huge showdown with William all planned out, but I feel like the story is just so "sappily romantic" and I just don't know any more. And I am also stoked to show you guys the all new story but I need to finish this one first ^^

So, have a great day and review please! Do it for me, and for the next chapter (which is short, but has William in it :D). Oh and what do you guys think of my "Tough Love Origins" Idea? The one I wrote about in my profile? Maybe if I wrote a few one-shots and put them together in one story with all the OC's of this story? That might explain, William's obsession with Danielle :)

Have an awesome day!

xoxo
