Promise Me This~Damon Salvatore~Ch. 26

~I Can Feel You Flowing In Me~

Abby sighed as she walked into the bathroom the next morning. She'd slipped out of the bed while Damon was still sleeping peacefully under their warm blanket. Walking over to the counter where her and Damon's things were still scattered from the night before. Abby leaned against it, looking into the large mirror.

Her hair which had been pulled down at some point in the night was knotted up everywhere, her eyes carrying quite the bit of baggage from not sleeping much.

"Damn girl…You are some kind of a mess." She mumbled to herself, pulling Damon's shirt over her head and tossing it to the floor as she moved toward the bathtub and started running water to take a shower.

"Well, don't you look like a sexy Lolita doll..." Damon said, sitting up in bed. His eyes traveled Abby's body appreciatively as she stood at the foot of the bed.

She was wearing a black square neck dress with short puffy sleeves. The dress was well fitted around her breasts but flared out as it traveled down her body, ending a little above her kneecaps.

Her hair was down, the ends coming to just below her breasts.

Her eyes were lined in black and her feet were bare, showing off her freshly painted black toenails that matched her fingernails.

"Does that mean you like?" She asked, a playful smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

Damon smirked, flashing before her in an instant, wearing only a pair of black boxers. "I've never seen you in a dress before." He commented, his hands resting on her hips.

"I made it myself." She told him proudly. "My mom let me pack the rest of my stuff while I was there."

"Does that mean there are more dresses?" He wondered as he gently pulled her hips into his.

Abby smiled, nodding as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "And skirts, and negligees, and…"

Damon cut her off by pressing his lips to hers.

"So…" Abby started when the kiss finally broke, "Have you thought anymore about what we talked about last night?"

Damon sighed, pulling back to fully study her face. "Are you sure that's really what you want?" He wondered, his hand lightly caressing her cheek as he looked into her eyes.

A smile came to her lips as her hands rested on his half way bare hips. "An eternity with you is more that I could have ever dreamed of asking for, Damon." She told him sincerely. "I love you more than life itself. I want to be with you…Forever."

Damon smiled softly. "You are an extraordinary women, Abby." He informed her, his forehead coming down to gently rest on hers as his hands wrapped around her waist. "But being a vampire isn't as tremendously superb as I make it look." He informed her. His tone and smirk were playfully cocky, but his eyes held a seriousness and a pain she knew he needed her to see. "There are a lot of things you'll have to give up in order to become like me. And a lot of things you'll have to see and do that you're not going to want too."

Abby nodded, feeling the weight of his words through the bond as it weighed on both of their chests. "I know that, Damon…But being with you…."

Damon's eyes once again locked with hers. "You can stay human and still with me, Abby." He informed her sincerely. "I wouldn't blame you or hold it against you."

"What about the bond?" She asked quietly.

"What about it? It's still there even if it's never completed." He took her hand, pressing her palm to his chest so she could feel his vampire heart beating. "You're still here, Abby…I still feel you flowing in me every moment of every day. I'll always feel you in me. You'll always be in me."

Abby smiled, feeling tears filling at the back of her eyes but she fought them back. Instead she stood on her tipy toes and pressed her lips to his.

"I love you so much, Damon." She whispered to him sincerely when the kiss broke. "And I want this. I want us. Forever. I couldn't bear to lose you…In death or for any other reason."

Damon smiled, giving her nod of understanding. "I'm not gonna lie, Abby…I'm so glad to hear you say that." He pressed his lips to her forehead. "I can't bear to lose you either."

"Then it's settled?" She wondered, looking into his eyes, a light smile on her lips.

"It's settled." He agreed, pressing his lips to hers once again.

Abby lay on the bed she shared with Damon later that day alone reading. He had gone out to run some errands and she opted to stay at home, feeling lazy.

A soft tapping at the door pulled her from the reverie of her book. She placed her bookmark inside and sat up just in time to see Elena poke her head in.

"Hey Abby, Stefan and I wanted to talk to you about something important for a minute." She said, coming into the room with Stefan close behind.

Abby gave her cousin her best worried look as she said, "You guys aren't wanting to talk to me about have a threesome are you? Because I don't know how Damon would feel about me banging his brother…. And besides the third person is always supposed to be a stranger anyways…."

"Abby!" Elena squeaked but Abby continued as is she hadn't spoken.

"And I know Stefan doesn't know me that well…But I am pretty cute, and I can do this thing with my tongue-"

"Abby!" Elena yelled, putting her hand over her mouth, making Abby chuckle. "Jeez, you sound more like Damon every day." She grumbled.

Abby was grinning when Elena let her hand drop.

"Be good." Elena warned.

Abby's mouth drooped into a playful pout as she nodded. "Yes, Mom."

"Thank you."

"So what's up?" Abby asked, moving her eyes from Elena who was now sitting beside her on the bed to Stefan who was standing by the door, looking at her with curious eyes.

"I overheard you and Damon talking this morning." He told her calmly, his face neutral.

Abby sighed, fighting back the urge to roll her eyes. "So…You were eavesdropping this morning and found out Damon's going to turn me and when you told Elena she decided you guys needed to come have a talk with me is that it?" Shaking her head at the end, Abby turned to her cousin. "Didn't we already have this discussion once?"

"And didn't you say before you would have wanted to wait a few years if the circumstances were different?" Elena countered.

"I said I might have waited, Elena. Might. But things are different now. My mom is finally getting her act together; I know my family is going to be okay. I can turn and not have to worry about them. That's all I wanted."

"What about college or starting a family?"

"Damon is my family Elena. And I don't want to go to school." Abby replied.

Elena sighed, "When are you going to do it?" she asked, lifting an eyebrow.

"We're going to wait a couple of weeks to make sure the poison Belladonna slipped him is completely gone."

"Are you sure this is really what you want Abby? No regrets?" Elena asked, looking into her eyes.

Abby smiled a soft, sincere smile. "It is."

"Eternity is a very long time." Stefan informed her.

Abby turned her attention to Stefan, the smile still resting on her lips. "And yet, it's not nearly long enough to be with Damon." She turned to Elena then, locking their eyes as she took her hand in hers. "Don't you want the same with Stefan?"

Elena looked into Abby's eyes for a moment before looking down at the floor.

Abby sighed, shaking her head and letting go of her cousin's hand. "You should have known this was coming. Just because it didn't happen last time doesn't mean I wouldn't try again. It was all just a matter of time." Abby took in a shaky breath as she locked eyes with Stefan across the room, pleading with him silently to understand. "I need him." She whispered, knowing he could hear her. "And he needs me. We can't lose each other."

Stefan surprised her in that moment by letting a soft smile pulled at the corners of his lips. "I'm really glad he found you, Abby." He told her sincerely. "I think you're just what he needs." Stefan turned his gaze to Elena. "Come on, Elena."

Elena looked at him for a moment before nodding, getting to her feet. She turned back to Abby, wrapping her arms around her in a warm embrace. "I love you, Abby."

"Love you too, E." Abby replied before they pulled apart.
