Hi there! This FF is all about Delena! It's based on Taylor Swift and The Script songs and they feature throughout. All phrases/words in italics are the songs. Damon's are The Script and Elena's are Taylor Swift mostly. Please review! Xx .Destinty

If you're confused about where everyone is at this stage, let me know and I'll explain next chapter! Enough rambling, here it is!

This is Love

Damon's P.O.V

I never realised how much a few years could change things. I mean, I've lived over a hundred years, and each year feels like a month. They pass by in a blur melting together. I never knew one girl could change everything for me.

I look over to my girlfriend of 3 years Elena Gilbert, the most beautiful thing on this earth. See, look what she does to me. She turns me into a soppy teenage boy with puppy dog eyes. It's disgusting.

"What?" She asks me lifting her head off her pillow, her beautiful lips curved into a smile.

Shit. I must have been staring at her. "You're beautiful." I tell her, giving her a killer smile she seems to love. Might I add, my Elena 'killer smile' is a lot different from my deranged real vampire 'killer smile' which most people only like because I've compelled them. What can I say, old habits die hard. I've been good lately; I haven't killed aimlessly in about 2 years. Elena hates that part of me. I know she wishes a part of me was like my brother Stefan. However I'm pretty sure she's glad I'm not, since 3 and a half years back he cheated on her with Katherine, Elena's doppelganger/our ex-girlfriend.

"Come on. It's time to get up, we've been in bed almost all day! I have plans for us tonight." I tell her, rolling on top of her and pressing a kiss to her cheek.
"Why can't we stay here?" She asks suggestively.

"Because, I have a lovely date set out." I say, scooping her up with vampire speed and standing her up. "Chop chop! Get dressed into something nice, but easy to tear off later." I say with a wink.

"Okay okay…." She giggles, knowing what our night-time adventures consist of. At that moment her phone starts buzzing and she picks it up with a smile.

"Is that Toto and Dorothy, reporting back on their trip to the Wizard of Oz?" I ask sarcastically with a grin.

"Yes Damon, its Bonnie and Jeremy & they're finding the original Witch to help Bonnie." She shoots back, suppressing a laugh.

She chats on the phone while she dresses. I'm ready before her so I sit on the couch in our room watching her do her hair effortlessly. As I watch my phone buzzes in my pocket, confused when the message is from a private number.

Damon,

It's been too long, 3 years too long in fact. I'll be seeing you soon

My face drops just as Elena spins around. I quickly press delete, and if my heart raced, it would be racing. And not in a good way.

Elenas P.O.V

I spin around just in time to see Damon's face drop.

"What's wrong babe?" I ask him worriedly.

"Nothing beautiful." He says. "I just thought our reservations were cancelled, which they will be if we don't hurry!" He jokes, trying to cover his uneasiness. But I know him better than that. He's hiding something, probably just Stefan again. At least Damon actually cares about me.

We walk hand in hand to the car. He opens up my door and I get into his car and he says "you look beautiful tonight" and I feel perfectly fine. We sit in the car we talk about everything. We're so comfortable together conversation just flows. I can't keep the grin off my face; I never can around him and his piercing blue eyes.

We arrive at a fancy Italian restaurant called Intermezzo Ristorante. He talks charmingly to the waiter as I take him in. His black dress pants his white shirt make his eyes 'pop'. His defined cheekbones and slight stubble make him look sexy. He looks over at me as he grabs my hand while we follow the waiter to our table.

"Now who's staring?" he says playfully.
My reply is a smile as he pulls my chair out like a gentleman.

We order our meals and we sit gazing at each other. Our silences aren't awkward, they are full of knowing. We know each other better than we know ourselves almost. Our relationship is based on trust, unlike mine and Stefan's. The thought brings my face to a grimace. Damon's expression portrays he knows something's wrong.
"Is everything okay lovely?" he asks grabbing my hand across the table.
"I'm just thinking about your brother who is also my ex-boyfriend and how I caught him in bed with a manipulative bitch who is also my doppelganger." I want to say, but it's a bit of a mood-ruiner.

"I'm fine, I just thought they were bringing our meals, but it wasn't them." I lie.
He looks at me and smiles. "Are you hungry? Hang on a sec." he raises his hand beckoning the waiter.

"Please make my beautiful girlfriend and my meals a priority." He says looking deep into the waiters eyes.
"Damon!" I whisper "You didn't have to do that!"

"Love is this, this is love." He says simply.

And at this moment, I know Damon would never hurt me.
