Chapter One – Jealousy

I know everyone is going to show up later, but I still feel jittery about going to the beach with Damon. Me and Stefan had argued about it for hours, and now he isn't talking to me. Just thinking about it makes me feel a raging case of diarrhoea coming on.

I throw on my short cut summer dress, move my hair around my shoulders and apply a little bronzer and lip-balm. Looking in the mirror, I wonder why the heck I even bother to look good. It isn't for Damon...is it? I began to feel real guilty. My stomach churns and I rush to the bathroom, I lean over the sink and feel strong arms around me, pulling my hair back from my face.

"You sure you wanna go Elena?" I know it's Damon, and I have no idea why, but I breathe a sigh of relief and give in to him.

"Yeah. Not gonna ditch you am I?" I insist as he carries me to my bed. I'm surprised he doesn't collapse under my weight, I feel like such a beached whale. But then again, he is strong and he does have some fit muscles...

"Well...we could stay at mine and play doctors and nurses." He smiles seductively, and my brain turns to jelly.

"I think I'll pass." I say breathlessly, and I'm a little dizzy as I try and get up. Damon puts his hands around my waist, guiding me across the room. I shiver, and I know he notices. I look at his face and I see him smirking.

"Don't get too cocky, your head's big enough as it is." I snort, suddenly feeling a whole lot better as I aimlessly sprint to his car, but he magically appears like superman, which makes my head spin as I randomly think about Damon in tight blue Lycra and a red cape with the superman quiff.

I look like a drunk moron as I stagger to the jag. Damon jumps in and flicks a switch. I wait for my vision to clear as he starts the engine and sets onto the dirt road ahead of us.

"What beach are we going to?" I say into the comfortable silence. I manage to talk steady, but my heart keeps on flipping like a bloody banana boat.

"Patience is a virtue, Elena." He tutted, smiling at me.

"One that you know I don't have." I hear my voice sound all flirty and I feel my face go all beet as I flush bright red like a freakin' tomato. I let the cool breeze from the window cool my face. I fish my sunnies from my purse, and are about to put them on when Damon laughs.

"You stole my glasses."

I frown. What in hell is he talking about?

"I did not!" My voice goes all squeaky, and I sound like a little kid.

"Did too!" He mimics me and I can't help but giggle. Damon takes a hand off the wheel and slides them off my face. He shows me the initials D.S carved into the side of the black Ray Bans and I cringe. Stefan was the one who had given them to me..right after we'd had that fight...was I being set up by my own 'boyfriend'?

"Technically, Stefan stole them." I say, taking them from him. He tries to get them back but I slap his hand playfully.

"Elena, Give them back!" He pouts.

I lean towards him, so close our lips almost brush. I want to kiss him and his brilliant blue eyes flash sexily.

"Not a chance." I whisper, resting back into the seat, I laugh like a manic, but somehow I feel nervous. If he does that eye thing again, I don't think I will be able to resist.

"You know Elena, it's getting reeeally easy to hate you right now." He says, drawing the word out.

"Aw, did I hurt your feelings? I'm sorry." I tease as he turns the corner. He pretends to look all sad and vulnerable. It pulls at my heart strings and I almost fall for it. Our eyes are glued to each other's and I manage to tear mine away as he pulls into a small space between two palm trees. I stumble so fast out of the car that I trip over. Immediately Damon's there, and I laugh as I pull him down onto the sand with me and leave him there.

A great blue sky arches above me, stretching over everything. I start sprinting towards the sea that flickers as the light bounces off of it with my flip flops in one hand. I look to see Damon beside me, we say nothing, but just link hands and run towards it, snow white sand tosses under our feet, and the wind whips my hair behind me.

I'm too busy enjoying myself to notice the fat brown rock in-front of me, and I end up sprawled on the floor eating sand as I trip right over it and fall flat on my face, pulling a surprised looking Damon with me. I spit out the dirt from my mouth, and the rotten vampire's laughing at me. I try to get up to whack him with my shoe, but he sticks his foot out and this time I fall on top of him. Our legs are intertwined, and as I untangle myself, I don't even have to look at him to know he's got that sly sexy smirk plastered all over his face.

"Poor Stefi is missing out on all the fun. Which I must say I am enjoying incredibly." He winks as I push myself off his chest with my fingers tingling like they're on fire, and just as I stand up I hear a snap. I lift my foot. Uh oh. The Ray Bans!

I squeal and run down to the little wooden pier, rip off my dress and dive into the water head first. In my bikini. Oh shit.

When the water surrounds me I can still hear Damon calling.

"Now you are just begging to be chased!"

I breast-stroke as fast as I can, and I see a yacht someone must have untied about a metre or so out. I take one last gulp of air before swimming towards it. I watch from the sea-bed as a huge wave rolls in sounding like thunder above me, over-turning the small boat and pushing it a bit closer. I feel like my lungs are about to burst and I kick as hard as I can, surfacing underneath the yacht. It was like a little hideaway tent thing on the surface of the water. I lean back with my arms behind my head, my legs moving just slightly so that I could stop myself from floating under. The sea is crystalline, and I know Damon is probably watching me right now, he'd probably seen where I am and is planning to attack any second...

I poke my head out.

To the left.

To the right.

All clear.

I feel like The Little Mermaid, Ariel, when she's in the water looking for Eric, except Damon's not my Eric. I feel a twinge of jealousy and I frown. What the heck was that all about? I gulp. Deep down I know, I just don't want to admit it.

Bump.

I hear a thud right above me, and it scares me half to death.

Calm down Elena! I tell myself. It's just probably some stupid seagull bird thingy.

I snort.

Yeah, right! That's probably what that dude said when Jaws was banging on his boat, and where is he now? Yeah, exactly, he is fish food. Now I was freaking out so much I was actually having arguments with, yep, you guessed it, myself?

I move away from the side that was banging, but it's no use, the noise just follows me.

Bump. Bump.

Okay, now I am just feeling plain freaked out.

Bump. Bump. Bump.

I wish Damon was here.

Splash!

A/N: Sooo, what do you think is gonna happen? I can guarantee there will be some Delena action in the next chappy..okay..just forget that I said that.

Damon: "Need some help?"

Leah: "Er..no thanks." (Looks scared crapless)

Damon: "Humans these days! So rude, yet so tasty! Shame she wasn't O Negative." (Rolls eyes and skulks off like the sexy beast that he is.)

Anyway, as I was saying, please review, tell me what you think and if I should carry on – Leahlovessalvatore124!
