March 10th,
Elena took a seat at her desk after she got back from school that day, it had been a long day and she was tired. She had to finish her French homework and then she could rest for a couple of hours before doing anything else. It was becoming harder and harder for her and Damon to hide their relationship with each other. She didn't know how many times her and him almost got caught that day. They had been on several more dates since Valentine's Day and she couldn't get enough of him. It was like he was air she breathed and she knew that he loved her so much. She also found out that later that he is one that bought her drawing and she was actually happy that it was him and not his brother.
Sighting she flipped open her French textbook, she began to write down the vocabulary that she needed to study. Halfway through the vocabulary list, her iPhone began to ring the wonderful jingle that Jeremy had bought and put as her ringtone. She was finally getting used to it, she had to laugh while picking up the phone to see that it wasn't anyone that she knew. Figuring that she should probably pick up the phone to see who it was, she hit the button and put the phone to her ear.
"Hello." She said into the phone.
"Is this Ms. Gilbert?" The person on the other end asked.
"This is she…may I ask who is calling?"
"My apologies…my name is Simon Walsh from Duke University…I am the Director of Admissions…I am contacting you about your application."
"Yes." She said while trying not to feel like her heart was going to jump out of her chest.
"I would like to have a meeting with you…a interview of sorts…would this be okay?" Mr. Walsh mentioned.
"Ah…sure." She said quickly.
"Good…I am guessing during the week your busy with school and it says here on your application your from Mystic Falls, Virginia…that's about 3 hours from here…would this Sunday at 10:20 work?"
"That works." She quickly said, because she didn't know what else to say.
"Good…please bring your guardian with you too." Mr. Walsh.
"Okay…thank you." She said before she heard a dial tone on the other end. She just sat there for a few minutes, trying to figure out what was going on. What the phone call meant, why would they call her?
"Everything okay Elena?" Jenna asked while sticking her head into the room.
"Oh…well," she said while pulling at the ends of her hair. "I don't really know."
"What do you mean?" Jenna asked while coming into the room and taking a seat on Elena's bed. She knew something was up with Elena, just from the look on her face.
"Well…the Director of admission from Duke University called me."
"Okay…is everything okay?"
"They want a meeting with me." She replied while still looking at the phone that was in her hand.
"That doesn't sound too bad." Jenna said with a smile.
"What about if they tell me that I'm not accepted." She said while looking up at Jenna with a worried look on her face.
"Elena…they wouldn't have called you and invited you to a meeting to tell you that you are not accepted…don't worry dear." Jenna said while standing and touching Elena's shoulder before getting ready to leave the room.
"You have to come too…they want my guardian there too." She said quickly.
"Okay…probably best anyway…seeing as you don't know where it is at…and Ric will love to see the campus again…he just loves that campus."
"Thank you." Elena said while trying to smile at her, but she was still nervous that she would be told she wasn't accepted. She really wanted to go to Duke University, mostly because it had been her parent's school.
March 16th,
Elena sat beside Caroline in Alaric's car as they drove down to Duke University. Jeremy had stayed home to take Anna out on a date, so she asked Caroline to come with her, because she wanted someone close with her. She was beyond neverous. Caroline smiled over at her as they entered the campus and began to park. Her heart was beating fast and her palms were sweaty. She was dressed in a pair of black wool trousers and a blue satin button-up shirt. She had the sleeves rolled up to her elbows and her hair was down and straight. She was wearing little but to no make-up, and pair of black leather pumps. Jenna and Alaric showed her a little bit of the campus while showing her where the admission building was. They finally made their way to Mr. Walsh's office and took a seat outside of it after meeting with assistant sitting outside the office. After several minutes, a tall dirty blonde haired man in his early thirties stepped out of the office. He was dressed in a suit and he was a handsome man, but Caroline and Elena couldn't stop staring at him.
"Ms. Gilbert." Mr. Walsh asked. Elena nodded her head and stood up.
"That's me." She said while trying to smile.
"My name as I mentioned on the phone…is Simon Walsh…are these your guardians?" Mr. Walsh asked while coming closer.
"Yes." Elena said while trying not to panic as she motioned towards Jenna and Alaric. She hated not having her parents with her, because this is something they should have been here for.
"I'm Jenna and this is my husband Alaric…we use to go here…we were the class of 95'….this here is Elena's good friend Caroline." Jenna said while standing and pointing to both Alaric and Caroline while smiling and shaking Mr. Walsh's hand. Alaric even stood up and shook the man's hand.
"It's nice to meet." Alaric said.
"It's a pleasure to meet you guys…I hope you guys enjoy the campus again while you're here," Mr. Walsh said while smiling at both Jenna and Alaric. "Elena about we have that meeting now," She just nodded her head and followed the man into his office. "We won't be that long," He called out to the three people in the waiting room. Elena walked into his cramp office that was over filled with cabinets and bookshelves. "Please take a seat." Elena took a seat in front of the desk in the office and tried not looking around the office, but mostly at her hands. "Your probably wondering why you are here right now…am I correct."
"Yes." Elena tried not to sound nervous.
"Well I asked you here…because I wanted to meet you in person."
"What?" She asked in surprise.
"From your application…you sounded like a very special young women…you also mentioned that both your parents use to be participating alumni's?"
"Yes…that is correct…my parents were the class of 95'." She answered while looking up at the man who sat behind the large desk.
"Isobel Petrov and John Gilbert?"
"Yes."
"Your father was on both the football and basketball team here…a very good football player too," Mr. Walsh said while smiling over at her. "And your mother a cheerleader and vice president of her class during senior year…along with being treasurer of Zeta Tau Alpha," Mr. Walsh listed off all the things her parents had done while being at college and it was making her want to cry.
"I remember my parents telling me how much they had fun here…they always came back to support the school when they could."
"Yes…now we're not really here to discuss your parents…but now that I know that you came from Isobel and John…the couple on campus that was very well known during their time here…I can understand now why you are so special."
"Special?" She asked while nibbling on her lower lip.
"Yes…from what you wrote on your application…you went to Suncoast Academy?"
"Yes…before I came to Mystic Falls." She whispered.
"It's a very good school…I'm also from Florida and my parents thought long and hard about sending me there…but instead sent me to Deerfield Academy…father's old school." He said while grinning at her.
"That also a good school…actually better." She said while smiling at him.
"I suppose some would think that," He laughed. "Now it says here that you were a part of the debate team, cheerleading team, and you were also on the swim team and in the art club…along with being on the student council as Vice President." He said while looking up at her from her application that he was holding.
"Yes that is correct." She said while nodding her head yes.
"And you were also president of the National Honors Society at your old school."
"I was…I'm still part of the NHS…just not president."
"Very impressive," He said while smiling at her. "It seems that you haven't joined anything's that you were part of when you came to your new school…that is correct right?" He said while staring at her.
"Yes…it's been very rough for me…I was shipped to a new place and it's been hard," She said while trying not to cry. Whipping at her nose, she looked back down at her hands before looking up Mr. Walsh. "I didn't feel like it matter anymore…I am a part of the art club at Mystic Falls High School…but I didn't join any of my sports because of the accident…I can't do cheerleading anymore…I could do swimming…but its like the time just got away from me."
"Understandable…it also says here that you know how to speak both English and Bulgarian…but also fluent in French…along with Romanian and a few words in Latin."
"I do," She said while trying to hide the smile on her face. "My mother was Bulgarian…and she lived in Vidin…it's on the border of Romania…so she picked up a few words…she thought I should know how to speak Bulgarian." She said fluently in Bulgarian, but then soon realized that Mr. Walsh had no idea what she was saying, so she quickly spoke everything in English. "Sorry."
"No…no…again that is impressive…you almost sound like you are a native."
"My mother would have liked to hear that," She said while grinning. "She was always speaking fluent Bulgarian to me while I was growing up and my father would speak English…because he kept saying that she lives in America…she needs to know how to speak English." She laughed.
"Well its extraordinary…I am betting your mother would be proud of you." He said while smiling at her.
"Thank you." She said while blushing.
"It says here that you are into the arts."
"I am…I love drawing…painting…sculpting and taking pictures." She said while smiling.
"We have a great art program here," He mentioned while looking down at the papers on his desk. "The reason I called you here Ms. Gilbert-"
"Please call me Elena." She said while cutting him off.
"Elena…the reason why I asked you here…is because I found your application very extraordinary and remarkable…and well I had to meet you…because…us at Duke University would like to welcome you to the class of 2018."
"Really," She almost yelled. "Why the meeting?" She asked in a confused way.
"Because I wanted to tell you in person…how much you should be proud of yourself…and that us at Duke University…would like to give you a full ride." She just sat there for a few minutes, trying to remember to breath.
"What?"
"I know this must come as a shock to you…because we don't normally meet with our future students…but I wanted to tell you in person that we want to give you a full ride." He said calmly.
"Wow…yeah this is a big shock." She said while fiddling with her fingers and nibbling on her lower lip.
"Of course you will be getting room and board paid for…along with all of the classes you take…even summer classes...but you will have to pay for your books and any sports or clubs you may join." He listed off from the paper he was holding.
"This is actually real?" She asked while looking up at him.
"Very much so…the only thing you have to do is accept and sign a few things…along with your guardians," She just sat there a few minutes trying to figure out how to response. "Do you accept?" He asked, bringing her out of her thinking.
"Yes…big times yes." She almost shouted in a happy voice. She really wanted to do a happy dance at that moment; she never once thought that she would be hearing this.
Elena had left the meeting with the biggest smile on her face. She just blurted it out when she came out of the meeting that she was going to Duke with a full ride. Jenna jumped out of her seat and rushed towards her, hugging her tightly.
"We are so proud of you…your parents would be too…especially your father." Jenna said while pulling away to let a squealing Caroline hug her friend.
"Oh…My…God," Caroline said while hugging her. "Everything is looking up," She whispered into Elena's ear. "I can't believe it…this is like a proud moment for me." She said while laughing and pulling away from Elena, to let Alaric hug her.
"Yes…we are proud of you," Alaric said while giving her aside hug. "Now how about I show you around campus…since you will be the future class of 2018." He said while directing her out of the room, but not before letting Jenna sign different sets of papers that Elena had already signed. She couldn't stop smiling as Alaric showed her towards different areas on campus. She laced her fingers with Caroline's, and smiled when Caroline looked over at her.
"This here was where me and your mom met," Jenna said while pointing up to a white looking building. It looks like an old building from the front and Elena can't take her eyes from it. "It's one of the smaller residence hall…and also one of the oldest." She recited.
"Wow…I wonder if we could get a tour inside." Elena said while walking towards it and imagining her mom coming out of the building when she was younger.
"Probably not," Jenna laughed. "The only thing bad about living here…was that it was not air-conditioned." She laughed more, while remembering her and Isobel fighting who got sleep by the open window.
"That sucks. " Caroline mentioned.
"Yeah…you telling me…but the nice thing was that it was coed." Jenna said while smiling over at Alaric. Elena could see Caroline smiling big at the mention of it being coed and Elena couldn't stop herself from giggling.
"Is this where you two met?" Elena asked while turning to face the both of them.
"Yep…I had the room right under theirs…and we met because I came to tell them to turn down their music." Alaric said while smirking at his wife.
"It wasn't up that loud." Jenna said while smiling sweetly at her husband and laughing.
"Sure it wasn't." He laughed while pulling her into him and kissing her lightly on the lips.
"Okay…how about lunch to celebrate this big news." Jenna said while pulling away from her husband and looking over at the two girls.
"Sounds good to me."
"What about Jer…I would like him to join us?" Elena mentioned
"Good idea…we can head back home and tell him to meet us in Lynchburg." Jenna said while looping her arm through her husbands and walking towards where they parked.
Later on,
By the time they got home from dinner and had dropped Caroline off, Elena was bouncing in her seat. She had been planning something over and over in her head. She needed to see Damon, that was the only person she wanted to see right now. She only wanted to celebrate with him and no one else. She had already made Caroline promise to tell anyone that she was staying at her house, when really she was planning on meeting Damon. She raced upstairs and got her clothes, throwing them in a bag before racing downstairs and heading for her car.
"Where are you going?" Jenna asked while following her outside.
"To the stay the night at Care's." She called over her shoulder.
"Didn't she just stay the night here…and you saw her all day too."
"I know…but we planned on me staying the night and going to school together." She called out before getting into her car.
"Elena…I didn't say yes," Jenna called out while racing down to her car. She motioned for Elena to roll down her window and she did. "You can't just assume that you can over there anytime you want."
"I know…but I figured it would be okay…all of my homework is done and Caroline finished her homework last night while she was over here…so we are just planning on watching movies and celebrating." She lied.
"Next time…you need to ask and also I forgot to mention that Miranda called while guys were away from the table…she only had a couple of seconds to speak…but I quickly asked how things were and told her that you got a full ride to Duke…she said she would tell Grayson and that she was proud of you."
"Oh…does Jer know?" She asked.
"Yeah of course…I mentioned it to him while you girls were sleeping on the way back." Jeremy had gotten a ride from Anna to meet them, but had to ride back with them.
"Oh okay…that's good to hear."
"Yeah…now remember what I said and be back after school…no going over to your friends houses." Jenna said while stepping away from the car.
"Yep…I'll be home tomorrow." She called out before pulling away from the curb and driving over to Damon's mother's studio. By the time she pulled up to the studio, she could see Damon's car parked out front. Slowly getting out and getting her stuff, she walked across the driveway and up to the door. Without even knocking, she opened the door and walked into the room to find Damon sitting on the couch with his laptop.
"Hey." She said shyly while walking towards him.
"Hey," He said back while leaning over to kiss her. "You look beautiful."
"Thank you…actually that's why I planned this little thing." She said while moving his laptop to the table in front of them and leaning in to kiss him again. This time he deepened the kiss and pulling her closer to him.
"What is that?" He asked while pulling away and resting his against hers.
"I had a meeting with a director of admission at Duke." She said smiling.
"You did…why didn't you tell me?"
"Because I was afraid." She whispered while moving to sit on his lap and hide her head into the crook of his neck.
"Afraid of what?" He asked while wrapping his arms around her.
"Of not being accepted," She said while wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling away to look at him. "But it wasn't like that…I was actually accepted." She squealed and looked down.
"What?" She could tell that he was happy about it.
"Yeah…they wanted to talk to me about my application and tell me that I had a full ride."
"That's great." He said while smiling at her and placing his hands on either side of her face, pulling her down to kiss him again. "We should celebrate." He said between the light kisses he was leaving, as he kissed her from her lips to her jaw and to her neck.
"Yeah…lets wait until you get yours…and we'll celebrate finally being able to be together and going to the same college." She said while running her fingers through his hair.
"But we should celebrate yours…not everyday do you get a full ride to college." He said while pulling back from, only to hear her groan at the lost of contact.
"No…we'll wait…just being with you right now…is enough," She said while smiling at him and then kissing him again. "But I have an idea for this summer."
"What's your brilliant idea?" He said while smirking at her.
"I was thinking long and hard about this after being accepted," She paused. "I think me and you," She said while motioning between the both of them. "Should go to all the places that we once lived." She whispered into his neck, while biting his skin. She was very nervous to voice her opinion on the idea. She began to place light kisses to his neck, before she began to suck on the skin there.
"I like the idea." He said while pulling her away, but she just tightened her hold around his neck. He could also feel her teeth grazing his skin when pulled on her, he hissed a little bit but not in pain. "Elena your going to have to look at me…so we can talk about this," He said again while pulling her away from him and finally getting her to detach herself. He finally had her at arm's length. She was blushing so much that her skin had a tinge of pink to it and she was trying to look everywhere but at him. "Lex…I like your idea."
"Really." She said while biting her lower lip more and blushing.
"Yes…I think it would be a fun idea and maybe help you remember more."
"I do want to remember more…I feel all the emotions I have felt for you and I remember a little bit of our memories…but not all of them."
"And I want to help you," He said while smirking at her, before kissing her again and nibbling on her lower lip. "But I think we should skip New Orléans." He whispered again as he kissed her again.
"Why...we were married in that one?" She asked while pulling away from him. She couldn't understand why he would want to skip that one.
"I have my reasons." He said while trying to make it seem like nothing was up.
"But it's one of our lives…they are all full of bad memories…along with bloodshed."
"I thought you didn't remember that." He laughed.
"I can feel it…it's like I know that every time we get together…something horrible happens."
"It does…but that is what makes us...us." He laughed and kissed her on her forehead.
"I suppose your right," She said while sighing. "I can't wait until you get your acceptance letter."
"Me either." He was trying not to think about how his father if he were accepted to Columbia, would make him go. He pushed all those thoughts out of his head and began to kiss her neck softly, making sure to suck on the spot that always made her weak at the knees. She melted into his arms and she tightened her hold around his neck, before running her finger up and down the back of his neck. She let him unbutton her blouse; she even helped him take the blouse off, leaving her in her white tank top. He kissed up her neck, biting her earlobe and then kissing up her jaw and cheek.
He kissed her nose and then her forehead, before going to kiss lips again. She pulled away while laying back on the couch and pulling him down with her. She began play with the hem of his shirt, while she kissed him slowly. She finally let her hand slip under his shirt, where she let her hands wander up his chest and towards his back, where she raked her nails up his back. She could hear him hiss, before leaning up. She looked up at him with a confused look and he could see how she had a tinge of pink to her pale skin and how her lips were swollen. He couldn't wait any longer, he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder while he raced up the steps and towards the bedroom he always he used. She couldn't stop from laughing, because she was so surprised.
He threw her down on the bed as soon they reached the room. She flopped down on the bed and moved to crawl up to the headboard, but he caught her ankle and pulled her down towards him, but she laughed and playfully kicked him away. He grabbed a hold of her ankle again and pulled her hard down towards him, before crawling on top of her. She laughed more as he roughly pulled her shirt over her head. He kissed her bare stomach, letting his tongue circle around her bellybutton and it sent her bucking. He grasped her hips and held them in place while he licked his way up between the valley of her breast. He pulled her bra cups down, letting both of her nipples harden from the cold air and his hot breathe on one of them. She gasped again when he began to suck on one of her nipples, while pitching the other one.
She gripped a hold of his shoulders, while he sucked harder on her nipple. She let out a moan of pleasure she could feel, she could feel herself riding on the edge of pleasure. Her hips bucked up against his and she could feel how she was affecting him and it made her want to quickly undress him then and there. She pulled him away and she could feel his teeth graze her nipple, before she could let herself hiss in pain, she had them flipped over and she was straddling him. He just looked up at her with a smirk. She began to work on his pants, having trouble with his belt. He finally after a few minutes of smirking at her, helped her with his pants but not before flipping them back over, so she was laying on her back. He managed to quickly take all of his clothes off and her pants and underwear off, before he was crawling on top of her again.
"Are you sure about this?" He asked in between kisses.
"Yes." She all but screamed because her body at that moment was a live wire and she felt like she was going to explode if he didn't get inside her. He just laughed at her before kissing her on her neck and trailing kisses down her past her breast and stomach, before he kissed the inside of her left thigh. Without thinking, she squeezed her legs shut, slamming his head in between her thighs. She could only hear a muffled laugh before she began to blush and loosen her legs.
"I didn't know you wanted to kill me," He laughed. She just blushed more and couldn't look at him. He just laughed more and leaned down to kiss her softly on her lips. "There's nothing to be ashamed of…I remember you doing the exact same thing to me the first time we had sex when we were Tristan and Audrey." He laughed more.
"I can't believe I did that." She whispered.
"Don't be embarrassed…you could never be more perfect than you already are…anything you do...even if it's weird to everyone else…I think its wonderful," He said before kissing her again and she couldn't stop from smiling. He again kissed his way down to her thigh, before slipping a finger inside of her and her hips bucked again. "Your so wet already." He murmured. He drew his finger out, before slamming it back in. He did this a few more times before pulling out completely. She felt him move away from her and watched as he rolled a condom on, before he slammed himself fully inside her.
Everything about that moment was perfect, because she truly felt like he completed her. He wanted it to last longer than it was going to, but being away from her for so long, he picked up a fast pace rhythm and she met the rhythm with her own. She could tell how perfect they were for each other. In that moment she never wanted to lose him again, she wanted to be with him forever. She gripped a hold of his shoulder, pulling him tightly against her as her own completion happened. He soon followed behind her. He pulled out of her and rolled over onto his side, while bringing her with him. He knew that he would have to make it up to her, making sure next time he made sure to make it all about her. She rolled over onto her side and wrapped her arms around his waist and layed her head on his chest.
"I love you Lex." He said while kissing the top of her head.
"I love you too," She said while snuggling closer to him. "I just didn't plan on us doing that." She giggled and he just laughed.

siberia21: Thank you for your review. Has you found out, Damon is the one that bought the picture, so I suppose good news or maybe not. Lol, I am glad you don't like Katherine. Yes, I suppose it is wrong, but it all leads to something that will throw everything out-of-order.
YAZMIN V: Thank you for your review.
