Rose walked into Damon's bedroom after Dean and Sam left...and Damon comes out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist. Rose actually was surprised he covered up at all.
"You know if you'd have been up here 5 minutes ago we could've had some fun." he winked at her.
"Sorry." she said, smiling.
"They're gone." Damon stated instead of asked. Shower or not he'd heard them leave.
"Yeah."
"You know any time you want them gone you just have to ask..."Damon started.
"No. It's okay, it's my past Damon and I'm not worried about them anymore. Besides, I need to prove that what I told them was true."
"You're worried about what he thinks?"
"No...not really."
"Liar." Damon teased.
She laughed. "You can see right through me can't you?"
"Mmm hmmm. Same as you do me."
She sat down on the bed...and figured that if she went to bed soon she'd wake up and it be morning. Rose was thrilled to walk out into the daylight.
"I feel like this night will never end. What happend is still bothering me." Rose told him. She was still upset at having killed those two people.
"You know that wasn't your fault Rose. What's done is done. You can't change it no matter how guilty you feel...trust me."
"Are you talking about me or you...because the same goes for you. Damon you didn't know Jules would hurt me, and you certainly didn't know I would even be here to jump in the way. I chose you Damon...Elena needs you in her life, and whether you want to admit it so does your brother. At the time I didn't feel like my undead life was that important, and certainly not more important than yours. I told you before and I'll say the same now, I do not regret anything. So don't feel guilty about it, it's over. I'm alive."
Damon smiled, and walked over to her. He wanted to thank her, but like Rose he wasn't really good at expressing his gratitude. So he used a distraction.
"You know Rose, I was teasing earlier."
"About what?" she asked, confused.
"I said you were too late to join me in the shower...but that doesn't mean we still can't have fun." He smirked. Rose couldn't refuse Damon, she knew she shouldn't allow herself to become so close with him because his heart would never be hers. Then again, she was not ready to give her heart to anyone either, if she ever would be. So she chose to let him seduce her, and have fun with it. She wouldn't have Damon forever, even if she ended up being stuck a vampire forever...eventually he'd move on from her, or maybe he'd someday have Elena. She wasn't sure but she didn't really care in that moment.
"Oh really, I just thought I'd head to bed and wait for the sun to rise so I can try out my ring." she teased back.
He laughed a true laugh.
"I disagree." he said. He slipped his arms behind her and blurred them to his bed. These were the times Rose actually loved being a vampire.
Motel
Dean and Sam walked into the motel, hoping to get several hours of sleep before leaving tomorrow to head out on another case.
"What was that tonight?" Sam asked him.
"What was what?"
"Bela. I expected you to be harder on her...Dean I'm all for second chances, especially after I freed Lucifer and betrayed you...but her?"
"Sam I don't know that we can trust her, and I can tell you I'm gonna watch out for her. If she tries anything she's gone...but for now I say we let it go and if she wants to help we let her."
"Okay fine man...are you sure?"
"Yeah. I can't explain what I saw when she was dying."
"Yeah, okay."
"What about Damon? He doesn't seem to be that good of a guy..."
"I won't disagree Sammy...but he's helping her too and he obviously cares about that Elena girl, and Bela cares about him. I didn't beleive she was capable of caring for anyone but it's kind of obvious."
"You getting soft Dean?" Sam joked.
"Nope. You weren't the one who was a vampire for a day though...I can tell you what they deal with sucks. The emotions and instincts nearly kill you. The fact that he and Bela can even hold it together is crazy. Not sure how they can control those urges."
Sam nodded.
