December 23rd - 1pm
Elena could not believe that she was sneaking out of the house at one in the morning. She hadn't even changed her clothes; she was still wearing her baby blue night shorts and black tank top. She wasn't even thinking of how much trouble she could get in. she was thinking about what she would tell him and how he would handle it. Some part of her was scared and confused; another part of her liked him a lot and wanted to be with him. She was betting that was Alexis coming through because she could feel the amount of love Alexis held for him and what she would do to keep him.
She kept going over everything Caroline had told her and what she had to do. She understood she could be with him and they could do things as a couple, because she was in a human form. Unlike the time they had been Alexis and Aleksandar, when they shouldn't have been together, because she had fully been the daughter of Bastet and Ares. She just hated that she had to lie to him to a point and that she could not be with him in the open, mostly because Caroline feared someone was coming after her.
She agreed with Caroline that maybe it was best to keep everything the same, but still be together in secret. She knew she wanted to be with him, but also did not want a vengeful goddess coming after him or her. She wanted to protect him at all cost. She did hate him still being with Katherine, but the part of her that was Alexis did not fear him loving Katherine more than her. She knew that he loved her and that she had his heart and soul and that was all that matter to her. She pulled her coat around her shoulders while opening the door. Closing the door quietly behind her, she began to look around for Damon. She could see him leaning against his car and she began to smile, without even thinking about it. He was out of his dress clothes, but was now wearing a pair of loose black sweat-pants and his black leather jacket and tight white shirt. He was smiling back at her and she couldn't stop herself from walking quickly towards him. He pulled her into a tight hug, before she broke away and looked up at him.
"Were going to get into so much trouble if something sees us." She whispered.
"No one will…if go somewhere else." He smirked.
"I can't leave…its one in the morning." She shivered.
"Are you cold?" He asked while stepping closer to her.
"No…I am fine," She whispered. "What are we doing?"
"Talking." He smirked again at her.
"How?" She asked while looking down at her feet.
"Like I said…I want to take you somewhere."
"And like I said…I can't."
"Live on the wild slide Lex," He laughed. "Don't you trust me?"
"Yes of course I trust you Alek…I just don't want to get in trouble before Christmas." She rushed out, without thinking about what she had called him.
"You called me Alek." He said while smiling down at her, but she refused to look at him because she was blushing so bad.
"I didn't." She muttered and he just laughed, while taking her face in hands and could see the light blush creeping up her cheeks has she tried to keep her eyes from looking at him.
"Just take my hand and come with me…so we can talk," She looked down at his out stretched hand. "Come on Lex…you trust me and I wouldn't hurt you."
"I know." She said with a faint smile.
"Then take my hand…we have so much to talk about." She stared at him for a second or two before smiling and taking his hand. He squeezed her hand while smiling down at her.
"If I get in trouble…I am taking you down with me." She giggled.
"Wouldn't have thought any different." He laughed while opening the car door for her. She slid in, but was faced with grey eyes staring back at her. It took her a second to figure out that she was staring at a bluish grey colored puppy. She kept staring at the little dog, who was staring back her. It was cutest little puppy she had ever seen and she just wanted to hug and kiss the little thing.
"Damon?" She questioned when he got into the car.
"Yeah?"
"What's that?" She said while pointing to the little dog.
"A dog." He laughed.
"I know that." She said while laughing and hitting him the shoulder. "Then why ask." He asked and she glared back at him.
"What is it doing in your car Damon?" She paused while staring back at the puppy. "It's a Weimaraner?" She said while looking back at him.
"Merry Christmas." He said while smiling at her.
"What?" She was shocked beyond belief.
"Do you like him?" He asked.
"What?" She asked again while staring back at the puppy. "You got him for me?"
"Yeah of course…do you like him?"
"It's a Weimaraner," She repeated again. "He's a Weimaraner." She repeated this a few times, talking to herself and Damon just watched her with worried eyes. "He's really a Weimaraner?" She said while beginning to cry and she couldn't stop herself.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah," She breathed. "You remembered?"
"Of course…I remember everything you tell me," He said while smiling at her and wiping away a tear that slid down her right cheek. "So are you happy?" She leaned over to him and lightly placed her lips to his. She had not idea what she was doing; it was more like her body was moving without her knowledge. She began to press her lips harder against his, trying to get him to kiss her back. She placed both of her hands on either side of his face. It was really quickly before he had both of his hands on her waist and he was kissing her back with so much passion. One of his hands skimmed under her jacket and tank top. He let his fingers trace her a pattern into her skin on her hip. Where he was touching her was setting her skin on fire and she couldn't get enough of it. She finally had a cleared mind when he began to suck on her neck. She pulled away from him and she could hear him groaning about the loss of contact.
"We can't." She whispered.
"Why not?" He asked while resting his forehead against hers.
"Because you have a girlfriend…and we could be caught…we are out front of the house," She said while looking back at the house. "Jer told that the lady that lives next door called the cops on him when he tried to sneak Anna into his bedroom."
"Yeah…Mrs. Quail can be nosy and mean too." Damon laughed while looking up at the old lady's house.
"Oh damn…her lights no." She laughed while looking at the neighbor's house.
"Then we should probably leave." He laughed while turning the car and beginning to pull away from the curb. Elena just smiled and looked back at the little puppy that was looking back at her.
"Coming here." She said while patting her leg and talking to the little puppy. The puppy jumped into her lap and began to lick her face and Elena just laughed, while petting the little puppy. "How did you get him?" She asked Damon.
"A Few weeks ago…mom helped me pick him in Georgia at a Breeders down there…he was last one left…I had to bribe him on the phone not to sell him…by telling him that it was for my girlfriend for Christmas." He laughed and she just shook her head at him.
"Ah…I can't believe you did this."
"Why not?"
"Because…what about your brother…my boyfriend."
"He doesn't know…I hid him from Stefan…its okay really…the only thing I care about is if you love you."
"I do." Elena said while holding the puppy closer to her.
"What do I call him?
"I've been calling him dog." He laughed and she playfully glared back at him.
"That's horrible," She laughed. "That horrible isn't it sweetie." She said while talking to the puppy and kissing him on the head. "How about Scottsdale…do you like that?" She asked the puppy.
"God no…don't name him that." Damon laughed while pulling up to this small two-story cottage.
"That is the name my mom wanted to name her next dog…I think it only fitting…you can always call him Scottie or Scotts." She laughed while looking up at the cottage.
"That doesn't even help." He said while opening his door.
"Where are we?" She asked while opening her door and carrying Scottsdale with her.
"This is my mother's studio…she paints and sculpts…it's her own business…she's really good at it too," He said while smiling at her. "See dad built this for her…its out back of the main house…and she can have her clients meet her here." He said while going up to the door.
"Will she be okay with us coming out here?" She asked while following into the main room that looked like Stephanie's studio. It had the studio lights overhead, with a paint easel and painting stand-off to the side beside the huge windows that looked out at a river, along with a large stand in the middle that had remnants of clay on it. There were paintings on the walls, and a table off to the side with computer and pens and pencil and a couple of notebooks, along with shelves above it with sculptures placed neatly on the selves. On another wall there was shelves with paint bottles and paintbrushes on them. There was an archway that led into a small kitchen and dinning room and door that led into a small bathroom, but Elena could just see the studio.
"Yeah of course Lena…I come here when I come home from a party and I am too drunk for my dad to see. There is two bedrooms upstairs with a bathroom…and he's been staying here too with me." Damon said while pointing to the small puppy dog that Elena was holding close to her chest.
"Ah." She said while looking around the small studio.
"So we need to talk." He said while resting on the arm of the couch in the room. His mom used it to meet with clients.
"Yeah we do," She said while coming closer to him and putting Scottsdale down. He pulled her towards him and kissed her slowly on the lips, but she placed her hands on his chest and pushed him away. "We can't."
"Why not Lex…I've waiting for a while to be with you again…its not like I am asking you to come to bed with me."
"Damon," Elena said while swatting him in the chest. "Jeeze…you have a girlfriend…I have a boyfriend…remember?"
"I'll break up with her right now…she means nothing to me Lena…I've just known her forever and I never thought I would see you again."
"Don't break up with her." She whispered.
"What?" He said in a shocked tone.
"Don't…maybe it would be best if we kept going the way we have been." She whispered again.
"So we won't be together?" He asked harshly.
"No," She said while grabbing his arm when he got up to leave. "I meant…for it to be the same still…but for us to date in secret." She could tell that didn't sit well him either. He roughly removed her hand from his arm and got up, turning his back to her.
"How could you ask me to do something like that?" He asked harshly.
"Because...Damon," She said while pulling him around to face her. She placed her hands on either side of his face and just stared up at him. "I'm beginning to remember…and everything I remember is us ending up in heartbreak…maybe its best if we," She paused, but he just cut her off.
"What…don't be together?" He shouted.
"No…just in secret for awhile…it's going so good right now…and I am scared that it will end in heartbreak again," She lied to a point, with tears forming at her eyes. "When we were Alexis and Aleksandar…we died for our love…when we were in Rome…we met because," She paused while crying and dropping her hands from his face to wipe away the tears that were running down her cheeks. "Because I was raped…and how about when we were Audrey and Tristan…something happened then…that makes you so guarded." She yelled at him, while turning her back to him. She was sobbing while remembering everything she was talking about and the dream about her being raped. He stood there not knowing what to do, because he felt like an ass but he didn't want to hide their relationship.
"Lena," He whispered while pulling her into his body, while she cried. He moved her over to the couch. "Lena…sweetie," He said while moving the hair out of her face. "Lex…do you even love me?" Her head shot up and it was like Alexis was taking over again, which she hated.
"Of course I do you fool," She said in a calm voice. "If you have to ask…I have to ask you the same question back…because I love you with my whole heart…my body and my soul…I would do anything thing for you Alek…you should never have to ask…I took a bullet for you." She laughed.
"I never asked you to…it wasn't meant for you."
"You never have to ask…and if it's meant for you…it's meant for me then…you're my life Alek," She said while moving closer to him. "I am only trying to protect you…it seems every time we get together…we are destined for heartbreak and I don't want that…lets try it this way…please?" She begged. He just looked down at her red puffy eyes and sighed.
"Okay…but you have until graduation…then I am breaking up with Kat and I am telling everyone that we are together."
"You wouldn't…what about your brother."
"Like I said…you got until graduation and then I tell all…you have a time to break it off with him…the sooner the better."
"You're an ass…but deal." She said while sticking her hand out to him and he took her hand slowly, while pulling her closer to him and kissing her softly on the lips.
"I know…but you love me for it Lex," He said while smiling at her and kissing her forehead. "Graduation…just remember that."
"Fine…deal," She said while pulling the leather bracelet that Caroline had given her out of her jacket pocket and handing it him. "Merry Christmas," She said with a smile. "It looked like the one you can me back then…like the one you gave me in our first life…I figured you would like it."
"I love it," He said while looking at the bracelet…but its actually yours."
"No…I have one just like it…just don't wear it when your with Katherine…she may question it and we don't need that…just wear it when we are together." She pleaded with him with her eyes.
"Okay." He said while placing the leather bracelet on his wrist, before turning cupping her cheek with his hand and beginning to kiss her and pulled him closer to her. He picked her up and began to carry her upstairs with Scottsdale following him. He made his way to the room he had been sleeping in; it was small with just a full size bed. He placed her down on the bed and began to crawl on top of her, kissing her the whole time and running his hands up and down her body. He paused for a second to sit up and pull his jacket off, but has soon as he turned back to her. She was sound asleep. "Way to make a guy feel special Lex." He laughed while slipping her out of her jacket and pulling the covers over body, but not before looking down at her body that he so badly wanted to touch and kiss every inch of her skin.
Pulling his shirt off, he slipped in beside her, and she turned over in her sleep to place her head on his chest and wrap her arm around his waist. Before he could wrap his arms around her, Scottsdale jumped up on the bed and wormed his way in between the both of them. Elena rolled over on to her back, but keeping her head on his arm and Scottsdale placed his head on her stomach while eying Damon. "You like your mommy?" He asked the little dog. Scottsdale just yawned and closed his eyes, like he was bored with Damon. "You have good taste little man…but she sure doesn't when it comes to names," Damon said while laughing and petting Scottsdale's head. "She's very special and it will be your job to protect her in the future when I am not around." He said before following asleep him self, with his arms wrapped around Scottsdale and Elena.
Same Day, 10 am.
Elena woke to someone licking her face. Opening her eyes, she could see Scottsdale licking her face. She smiled and began to rub his ears.
"You need to go to the bathroom?" She asked Scottsdale and she could see his cropped tail wagging. "Okay…come on." She said while getting up slowly and looking back and Damon, whose blankets were resting at his hips and she could not stop from blushing. She quickly picked Scottsdale up and made her way downstairs, letting him go to the bathroom before heading back upstairs with him right on her heels, to see that it was ten in the morning and her heart was pounding in the ear. "Damon…you have to get up," She said while shaking him. "Get up you ass." She said while hitting him the chest. Before she could hit him again, he got her wrist and brought her down so he could kiss her but she pulled away. "What are you doing?" she asked
"You don't remember…we agreed to date in secret...are you just playing with me Elena?" He asked while sitting up.
"What…you agreed?" She asked in surprised.
"Yeah…after you yelled at me and cried…I held you…and then agreed…but said you got until graduation." Everything came flooding back to her and she could tell that last night she was no where in control of what was going on with her body.
"I remember," She said with a smile. "But I need to go home…its 10am. and I promised Jenna that I would go for coffee and then shopping before we headed out to the cabin for Christmas."
"Well shit…call Rebekah and tell her to lie for you." He said while getting up and pulling his shirt on and heading to the closet that had some of his clothes in it.
"She would do that?"
"Of course…she does it all the time for Caroline," He laughed while pulling a pair of his dark jeans up his legs. Elena went looking for her phone, but couldn't find it. "Here." He said while handing her his cell phone.
"What do I tell her?"
"Tell her that you told Jenna that you both went for coffee…but that you're actually at your parents grave…she'll buy it and won't ask questions."
"Okay," She said while quickly texting Rebekah who texted her back and told her that was fine and she would tell Jenna that. She also texted Jenna and told her that she was with Rebekah. She set the cell phone down on the bed before looking back at Damon who was dressed. "I am going to need clothes." He just grabbed her hand gently and pulled her into the other room that his mom slept in when she would be working late. He went straight to the closet that had some of his mom's clothes. He pulled out a pair of jeans and a shirt.
"Here," He said while handing them to her. "Those should fit…there my moms."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah…she'll never notice," He said while beginning to leave the room. "I'll be downstairs." She watched him close the door, leaving her and Scottsdale in the room. She began to change into the dark blue sweater and jeans, before heading into the other room to pick up her jacket. She then headed downstairs with Scottsdale behind her. She could hear Damon in the kitchen.
"What are you doing?
"Making breakfast." He said while handing her a plate of scrambled eggs.
"Thanks…where is Scotts food?" She asked.
"Right here." He said while placing the food in front Scottsdale, who began to eat his food. Elena watched the little puppy has he eat.
"He's perfect you know?" She said while smiling at Damon, before eating her own food.
"He is and you will be the perfect mom for him." Damon said while moving her hair from her neck to kiss her skin below her ear, which made her shiver in a good way.
"We should probably hurry up…I told Jenna that I was at the coffee place in the mall and that me and Rebekah are still talking and it will for about two more hours…but to meet me there at twelve thirty…should give us enough time…also what are we doing about Scotts?" She asked.
"Sounds good." He said while beginning to eat his own food. "And Scotts will stay here…he'll be fine…I just bring him to your house after you and Jenna get home."
"We are going to the cabin later." She said while taking a drink of her milk.
"Just text me and I bring him over."
"Okay…I wonder how Jenna will take to knowing that you got me a dog…or Jer for that matter."
"Does it matter?" He asked while taking her hand in his.
"Well no…but I am dating your brother." She whispered.
"Yeah…because you want us to be a secret."
"Damon…please." She begged.
"Fine…we should get going…it's about ten forty."
"Okay," She said while standing and stooping down to give Scottsdale a kiss on his head. "Lets go." She said while standing and putting her jacket on.
At the mall,
They had a good hour before Jenna would be meeting Elena, so Damon and her were walking about when they came across a dress shop for prom. Elena did not want to go in, but of course he pulled her into the store. Elena wasn't even looking; Damon was too busy looking at a dress he saw in the window. Before Elena knew it, she was in a chocolate-colored strapless, corseted dress. The dress was beautiful on her.
"Damon…I can't get the back…can you help me…since this was your idea and we better not be late meeting Jenna." She said while peaking her head out of the stall.
"Come here." He chuckled while taking a hold of strings that would tie up the corset. He began to work on the strings, which didn't take him to long to get it corseted.
"How do you know how to do this?" She asked while trying to breath when he finished.
"Because I have had practice," He laughed. "Many times I had to help you with your corsets when we were Audrey and Tristan…they harder back then." He laughed more when he remembered some of the times that they almost got caught before they were married. She turned to the mirror and was surprised to see how beautiful the dress was with its decorated sweetheart bodice and sheer embroidered waist and horizontally pleated skirt and turning into a gathering train.
"Its beautiful." She said while turning to the side.
"Your more beautiful," He said while coming to stand behind her. "You complete the dress…it's breathtaking on you."
"Oh don't you two look like the cutest couple," A older shopkeeper said while coming to stand in front of them. "Sweetie your boyfriend is right…the dress is perfect for you."
"Thank you." Elena said while blushing.
"Oh your welcome…is this for prom?"
"Ah…no." Elena rushed out while heading back to the dressing room, but he caught her, spinning her around to face him.
"Yes…yes it." Damon said while smiling at the older lady with giving them a confused look.
"Oh…if it is…you will need this." The older lady said while handing Elena beautiful tiara.
"Ah…thank you." Elena said while looking in the mirror at herself. She looked like royalty that she was actually born to be.
"Your beautiful…and this dress just enhances that." The older lady said before walking away to help another customer that came into the shop.
"She's right…you are beautiful…I love the tiara." He laughed while touching the tiara that set on her head.
"Can you help me out of the dress…I don't want to make Jenna wait." She said while going back to the dressing room.
Later that day, after the mall.
Elena and Jenna were pulling up to the house and both women were smiling. It started off rocky because Elena had been late and had to lie about picking up a present, which Jenna believe because Elena had a shopping bag with her. The rest of the day had been nice and quiet, while the women shopped for various things and now they were pulling into the drive to see Jeremy and Alaric packing the bags into Alaric's SUV.
"You do have your bag packed right?" Jenna asked before getting out of her car.
"Yeah packed it yesterday." Elena replied while taking her seat belt off. She quickly texted Damon, telling him that she was home.
"Oh good…we better hurry up and help them." Jenna said before walking towards the guys. Elena helped Jeremy finishing putting the bags into the car and present. Before she knew it, Damon was pulling up to the house. She dropped the bag she had and ran down the car.
"I have missed him." She blurted out when she flung the door open and picked up her baby.
"So you didn't miss me?" He laughed and but then began to smile and Elena holding Scottsdale closely to her. "He's missed you too…has been whining the whole time until now." She just laughed and kissed the puppy's head before heading towards Jeremy, while Damon got the dog food bag and other various things he bought for Scottsdale after he left Elena at the coffee shop. Jeremy just stared at Elena and the puppy.
"Lena…what is that?" Jeremy asked while coming closer to her.
"My puppy dog…his name is Scottsdale."
"Who gave you the dog?" Jeremy asked while looking back at Damon who was carrying several bags.
"I did…I hope that's okay?" Damon asked.
"Why…you're not her boyfriend…you're her boyfriends brother?" Jeremy asked while crossing his arms across his chest.
"So…she's my good friend," Damon said while putting the bags down. "She told me a story about her mom having the same type of dog as this…I figured it would be a good Christmas gift…just being nice man."
"A little too nice." Jeremy said before walking away.
"Jer…don't be that way…I think you will come to like Scottsdale." Elena said while quickly after him, before she could hear Damon calling her.
"I need to go…but don't let him make you feel bad that you have Scotts or that I bought him for you…just don't tell Stefan that I bought him…he doesn't know and I don't need to listen to him or my father about buying the dog…also make sure Jer doesn't tell him."
"I will…thank you again…I love him." She said while blushing.
"Thats all the matters...I just wanted to see you smile and our welcome." He said while kissing her on the forehead. "Everything you need for him are in those bags." He said before walking back to his car. She hated seeing him walking away, before she could think long. She could Jenna telling her that they needed to talk. She was going to have to beg Jenna to let her keep Scottsdale and not tell anyone Damon got her the dog, because they didn't need people asking questions. She kissed Scotts head before heading towards Jenna.
