A/N So here is the dinner I know you have been waiting for. I'm sorry if it doesn't live up to expectations, but I really struggled with this chapter fr some reason. Anyway, there are only two more chapters after this, so please review and get them in before it's all over. Anyway, keep voting on the poll so that I can see how many votes I can rack up. As of now, I only have 23. Anyway, enjoy!

Chapter 37 The Dinner

When we were walking up to my door I felt my phone start to vibrate. I pulled it out of my pocket and saw a text from Caroline.

"Good luck. :)" It said and I smiled.

"Thanks." I replied.

We walked in and were blasted with the smell of spaghetti.

"Jenna!" I heard Jeremy shout from the couch. I felt weird coming in here like this. I felt like a guest in my own house, and I hoped Damon wasn't feeling as awkward.

"Oh, good." She said when she saw up. "You two are actually on time."

"Were you expecting different?" Damon asked, and I could instantly yell he felt comfortable. At least that made one of us.

"A little bit." She said. "By the way Elena was acting this morning, I was partly expecting you guys not to even show up.

"Well, here we are." I said

We sat at the table and Jenna brought over a huge bowl of spaghetti. She also had a bowl of rolls and cups of water.

"This looks delicious." Damon said and I smiled.

"Thank you." Jenna said and we started to eat.

"So, Damon, how have you been?" Jenna said to get the conversation ball rolling.

"Good. Better than before actually." Damon said casting his glance my way, and I could tell Jenna picked up on that. "And yourself?"

"Fine." She said.

"How was your day, Jeremy?" I asked so that he didn't feel completely out of place.

"Fine. Nothing much happened."

I nodded to show that I understood. He was looking between me and Damon, we were seated at the table across from him and Jenna, and smiling. I kicked him under the table.

"Ow!" He said and I realized I'd probably kicked him a little harder than I meant to.

"Cramp?" I asked as Jenna looked at him with a confused look. "You'll be fine, just walk it off." I finished as he got up to get another drink.

The rest of the dinner past with simple conversations. Weather, Jenna's work, little nothings like that.

"Well, Damon, this has been a wonderful night." Jenna said as we finished carrying the dished to the sink.

"I agree." Damon replied

"Let's never do it again." I said as i grabbed Damon's hand and pulled toward thee door.

"Now wait just a second." Jenna said and we stopped. "I am still a little weary of you two being together, but that is only because I want to protect you Elena, but I can see that you two really do care for each other. As awkward as that dinner was, for all of us," She said swiping her hand across the room to indicate that Jeremy was included, "I am glad that we did it. Although yo and I both know I would never have actually stopped you from seeing each other, I would have tried believe me, but now I approve." I smiled and hugged Jenna.

"We're going to go out for awhile." I said and we left.

"So, that went well." Damon told me as we piled into his car.

"Yeah, I guess it did. Let's go to the grill. I still feel hungry." I said

"That isn't a hunger the grill will fix, Elena." He said

"I know. Katherine put some blood from the butcher for me in the fridge at your house. I just don't want to go there now." I said.

"I understand." He said and we drove to the grill.

A/N The next chapter is long, so review and vote if you want that soon.
