He saw her everyday from across the hall, her gorgeous brown hair flowing around her shoulders so perfectly, it's was incredible.
Her brown eyes could make him smile...well smirk and she had an innocence about her that he found so incredibly alluring and sexy.
He leaned up against his locker Rose talking about something like always when he smelled the tell-tell sign of her jasmine perfume and her cherry scented shampoo wafting through the air.
She was heading to her locker and Damon knew today had to be the day, he had to ask her out.
He left Rose mid sentence when he followed her scent straight to her locker.
"Hey" he said leaning up against a locker next to hers, wearing his signature smirk.
Elena closed her locker slowly to see who was standing behind it and was surprised to see Mystic Falls resident playboy and not to mention bad boy Damon Salvatore.
"Yea?" She asked confused why he was even talking to her 'was there a camera somewhere?'she thought
"You busy this weekend?" He asked cooly
Ah so that what it was he wanted her to tutor him.
Elena shook her head "I'm free on Saturday, we can met up at the library if you'd like" She told him smiling
"Library?" He asked clearly confused
"Yea to study...you want me to tutor you right?" She asked like it was the most obvious thing in the world
Damon chucked at the miss understanding as he shook his head
"No , no I want to take you out" he replied smirking
Elena shook her head automatically not believing it.
"Funny joke" Elena said looking around for his friend or something to indicate he was joking.
Damon frowned confused "I'm not joking" he said seriously
Elena nodded "sure you're not, you're Damon Salvatore " Elena said like her explanation was obvious
"Yea what does that have to do with anything?" He asked his eyebrow raised
"Oh come on you're a bad boy and play boy not to mention insanely popular and hot" Elena said blushing as she said the last part
Damon shrugged and smirked "Yea? And ? I like you"
Elena's eyes went wide "you seriously like me?" She questioned still not believing it, crossing her arms.
He turned slightly so he could be face to face with her crossing his arms as well "Yes I seriously like you" he responded
"Bu-but you don't even know me" she said her eyes not leaving his
He shrugged "I know enough about you to know I wanna take you out this weekend" he answered back
Elena shook her head "impossible" Elena said arguing back not believing it
"What is?" He questioned leaning slightly closer to her, he could practically smell her strawberry chapstick.
"That you" she said gesturing to him "could ever like me" she said gesturing to herself.
He study her expression curiously her lips were almost drawn in a pout and her eyes were wide and almost wet looking.
"Why" he asked curiously his voice with a hint of annoyance to it that she wouldn't just believe him.
"I mean because it just is" she insisted
"Elena look I'm into you, and I wanna take you out" he told her again
Another head shake but this time a sigh was added as she looked into his eyes
"You're being serious?" She asked
"Deadly" he confirmed with that smirk of his.
Elenas expression turned to a warm smile one the he had saw many times form a far and up close it was even more beautiful.
"Okay" she said her voice just above a whisper
"Okay?" He questioned
"Okay I'll go on a date with you" she agreed
Damon wearing his smirk said "I'll show you a good time I promise" then he did this eye things.
Realization snapped into Elena's head
'Playboy! hello!' ,she reminded herself he was after sex...
"Oh" Elena said frowning taking a step back.
Damon took notice of this and gave her a curious look.
"What?" He asked
"The fact that you've practically slept with the entire female student body seemed to have slipped my mind there for a moment" Elena said her voice soaked with annoyance that he would actual 'ask her out' just to sleep with her
Damon gave her a confused look and she replied with an eye roll.
"You don't think I don't know what your vision of a good time is?" She questioned her arms crossed again.
Another confused look from Damon as if he didn't know who he was.
"Sex" Elena answered flatly
Damon shook his head normally the answer would be yes but she was different.
"No, not this time" he told her honestly
"Sure, I get into your car and your hand will be on my thigh calling me baby" Elena said the disgust clear in her voice.
Normal yes that would be spot on but not this time.
"Is that what you really think about me?" He questioned his eyebrow raised
Elena nodded "its what the whole school thinks about you" she answered back shrugging
"Well Miss.Gilbert has it ever occurred to you that you don't know me at all?" He asked
Elena really didn't have anything to say to that so he continued.
"Let's make a deal. I take you out this Saturday and I promise to be a perfect gentleman until you tell me otherwise" he promises extending his hand for her to shake it to solidify the deal.
Elena looked at his hand and then back at him. She chewed on her bottom lip mulling it over. He did seem pretty persistent about it and maybe she didn't really know him.
She put her hand out to shake his "Deal" she said said a smile gracing her features.
"Saturday it is" he said "I'll pick you up at seven o'clock from your house?" He asked
Elena nodded "yes, that works for me" she told him
"Alright I'm going to need your number" he told her flashing a smirk
Elena dug into her book bag for a pen, finding one. She grabbed his hand and held it open. She bit the cap off of her pen and held it between her teeth. She took his hand and wrote her number down.
She smiled at him "there" she said
He closed his hand tightly as if the number would run away.
"Thank you" he said his eyes twinkling.
Elena nodded putting the cap back on her pen and throwing it inside her book bag.
"And I better not get any late night text from you" she warned him
"Perfect gentlemen" he reminded her before turning to walk away.
——————————————————
That was on Wednesday and during the next few days Damon would smirk at her whenever he passed in the hallways and Elena's reply was always a blush.
He was in her English class and because of the assigned seat he could never sit next to her but he would make it a point to talk to her before and after the bell for a moment.
He even texted her a countdown till their date. Along with some other cute messages here and there.
He knew they had lunch together but he never saw her and he figured that she just went off campus for lunch or to the library.
Around five o'clock on Saturday Elena began to get ready, nervous about the date and where it would go. Damon did promise to be a perfect gentleman and Elena wasn't sure how much she believed him ,although it had to be to some degree because after all she did agree to this date.
At the same Damon started to get ready as well.
He was all dressed and ready to leave at 6:45 ish when Tyler and Mason Lockwood stormed into his house looking for him.
They called his name searching for him. He eventually came down.
"What do you guys what?" He asked annoyed at his "friends".
"We're here to take you to a totally kick ass party!"Tyler replied
Damon shook his head "sorry fellas but I've got a date" he said proudly
"Yea with goody goody Gilbert we are here to save you" Mason told him
"Save me?" He questioned
"Yea so you don't have to go on a date with that loser!" Tyler said half screaming clearly already intoxicated.
"I want to!" Damon Insisted "and she is not a loser" Damon said defensibly.
Both Lockwoods shrugged as they ushered Damon out the door and into their car.
Damon was strong but he wasn't stronger then two of the best football players at the school.
They shoved him into the back seat and poured vodka down his throat. Just as his phone was flashing Elena's name as she called him but unfortunately he couldn't see that with the amount of alcohol that was poured down his throat.
They drove to the party and his date with Elena was sadly forgotten with the alcohol pounding in his system.
At around nine o'clock Elena got the hint that he wasn't coming and it truly was a big joke. Her shoulders shrugged with this realization.
As she slowly walked up the stairs, she took her clothes off and slipped into the nice hot shower letting it wash away the disappointment of the day.
She walked to her bed and turned off her lamp burying herself underneath the covers as she closed her eyes and drifted off to a dreamless sleep.
