Helping Hands.

Author's Notes.

The characters do not belong to me the only plot is mine.

Thank you to Scarlett 2112, Starlight So, Happy Gilmore, Damonfangirl, Lyddy P, Riley 38, Tia Salvatore and guest reviewer thank you so much for your lovely review and thanks to my readers who follow or favourite this story.

Elena, Caroline and Bonnie stepped out of elevators and saw Elena's and Bonnie assistant Matt and Caroline assistant April waiting for them.

"Mrs Salvatore, Mrs St John, we just got confirmation that they are arriving this Saturday," Matt told them while April hand coffee to each of them.

"Thanks, April, I want you to go in my office and get my plan dairy and then bring it to Elena's office," Caroline instructs her as they continue walking towards Elena's office.

Once they settled down Elena didn't waste any time at all as she began their meeting. "Okay everyone, we have five days until their arrival and after that, for the next three months all of us will eat, breath and sleep this wedding."

They were disturbed when April joined them as she placed a heavy planner in front of Caroline and then proceed to set projector.

"First we will start with Caroline, who will show us wedding plans."

Elena then sat down as Caroline stood up signalling for lights to shut down so slide show can begin.

"As you know that we are not only publicising but also planning this event. Senator family came from a long line of Scottish royalty before his family moved here, with that in mind they want this wedding to be a reflection of Royal Wedding and that's exactly what we are going to give them."

Caroline then proceeds to show every detail that she has planned under the watchful eye of Mrs Baratheon. After she was done the lights turned on and that's when she saw the frown on Elena's face. "So everything is planned without any input from the Bride? That doesn't seem right to me."

"Well you have met Cersei, she plainly told me that under no circumstances A B class model will have any say in her sweet boy's wedding, even if she is going to be his bride." Caroline's voice sounds as distasteful as Elena felt hearing these words.

"Poor girl, it's her big day and she doesn't have any idea that her wedding has been planned already." Bonnie felt sorry for this girl but there is nothing much they can do for her.

"Okay everyone," Elena spoke up to bring everyone attention back to the project. "Let's move to publicity, Bonnie share with us what you've planned?"

Bonnie smiled and open her file which she hands to Elena. "I've given media rights, to C.N.N, Fox, A.B.C, T.M.Z and Vogue magazine. Plus online E-news will be streaming major events live, The second they arrive at the airport it will be the start of media festival which will go on and on until they leave for the honeymoon."

Elena seems extremely pleased with both of her friends preparation. "Good job girls, you both planned everything perfectly. She praised them and then being explaining her plans. "So in between those months, I will be their shadow. I have arranged interviews with infamous talk shows, their Date nights in most trending restaurants, then their appearances in Elite clubs parties, fashion show, red carpet event of few movies premier, their appearance in the award show, the new park inauguration will be done by them, charity event and I am also planning honorary ball a month before their wedding which will be a grand affair in itself before real wedding festivities being."

"What about security?" Matt asks after Elena finish debriefing them.

"Well Senator has hired Nights Watch security agency and he is hundred and ten percent confident in them to protect their family and this whole event."

"But Elena someone from our firm has to manage them!" Caroline points out this complicating detail to her friend.

"You know how tough these security agencies are and their first most priority will be security and protection of their clients."

"Care is right someone from our firm will have to keep them in check, otherwise it will be a huge disaster if they interfere with our work and media reporters who will cover this event."

Elena knew that both her friends have valid points but now she is facing a huge dilemma. "What are we going to do, we all our already busy with other stuff and now this!" She stared at her team members feeling at loss to come up with a solution.

"It's too late to bring someone new for this kind of huge responsibility."

She sighs and was about to take this responsibility herself when she heard a voice behind her. "How about someone old take this responsibility?"

Elena spins around and saw her husband casually standing behind her giving everyone his famous smirk.

Damon saw his wife looked surprised but then soon it turn into a frown. "You can't handle security, you are C.E.O of this firm." She reminds him in dismissing tone.

She turned around and was about to recommend herself when she felt her husband stroll inside and then shooing Matt away so he can take his seat beside her.

"Move it, Donovan!" He told his wife assistant who scrambled away.

"In which rule book it's stated that a C.E.O of the firm can't help with other jobs?" He asked everyone even when his eyes were set on her.

"Of course you can help." Care began while Bonnie agreed with her much to Elena's dismay. "Damon is perfect for this job, I would have recommended Enzo but he is on tour with Tyler and besides Damon previously used to deal with security."

Elena felt even more irritated because she knew her husband is the best man for this job but still, all this is irritating her for some reason.

"Everyone please leave me and Mr Salvatore alone."

They all stood up, understanding her order in their dismissal.

One by one everyone left until only she and her husband remain, who seems quite relaxed at this moment.

Damon watched as his wife stayed quiet while everyone left and then she turned around as she asks him sternly. "Okay Damon, start explaining yourself!"

"Explain what? Her husband asked, his eyes filled with an innocent, surprise look that rings alarm bells in her head.

"Why are you offering your help for such an insignificant job, when you already have the whole firm to run?"

Her husband merely stares at her as if it's the most obvious thing but she couldn't figure it out.

"First of all, I don't need permission to do any job, no matter how insignificant it seems." She was about to argue but he silences her with his finger on her lips.

"Secondly, I know how important this account is for our firm and for you and as C.E.O of this firm and your husband it's my job to be your helping hands in this project."

Elena was stunned and then seems to think hard over him offering help on her project. Damon knew that if he doesn't convince her then she will use this project as a shield to stay away from him even more.

"Trust me, Lena, I really want to help you and besides you know that no one can do a better job than your very own Damon."

A small smile escapes as she watches her husband straightening his coat as he boasts about himself.

Damon felt doing a victory dance when small smile form on her face but soon her face become professional and serious as she hands him the black file. "Okay Damon, I am putting my trust on you." She then called Matt who arrived in a few minutes. "Matt, arrange Mr Salvatore meeting with commander Mormont of Nights Watch security agency and Mr Salvatore make sure you discuss every aspect of the security detail in that meeting."

Damon and Matt watched as she headed towards the door and before Damon can ask her about going out on lunch with him, She turned to say one last thing. "I hope you can handle everything because starting this Saturday we will be working day and night and being C.E.O will not get you a day off."

With that, she left and he heard Matt laughing under his breath. "Sassy! isn't she?" Matt's eyes widened but he flatters more under his intimidating gaze. "Luckily that women is my wife."

And he will make sure that she will be his wife until his last breath.

Elena was happy as she watched paparazzi, reporters from news channel and few, hundred people that are Senator Baratheon supporters to be part of welcome reception for his son and his fiancée.

She was even more happy with security who have secured perimeter enough that can protect the family but at the same time give clear vision to reporters and supporters to greet them.

"Are you happy now?" A familiar voice makes her jump and sure enough, when she turned around she saw her husband smirking at her. " You can say, Damon, you did a wonderful job, I always knew that I can count on you!"

As soon he said it, he can see she was not amused at all. "Where are their personal security detail?" She asked him in her serious, professional tone. "They will be arriving at any minute and I still can't see their new bodyguards."

She was pleased to wipe his smirk away and make him serious about this. Her husband looked little let down as he mumbled. "Don't worry, Commander Mormont selected his seven best guards, I didn't meet them but he assured me that they will know their jobs and won't disappoint anyone at all."

She knew her indifference has hurt him and before she can say something he left while saying. "I am going to check out some stuff."

"Damon." She began but he left ignoring her voice.

"Such a handsome man your husband." She turned and saw Cersei smirking at her but unlike her husband, it was an evil smirk.

"You both are a lovely couple, it was loved marriage right?"

When Elena didn't reply she stepped closer and whispered in her ear. "If I were you, I have watched out for threat because as loving they can be in the end they are still men and it's easy to sway their loving hearts."

Elena felt tremors as she saw lust behind her dangerous eyes and before she could even move to reply of better slap her vindictive face Matt cleared his voice. "Mrs Salvatore your client's personal bodyguards are here.

Gladly to turn her back on that women she walked with Matt to the group of seven people.

"Mam, this is Gregor and Sandor Clegane brothers they will be Joffrey Baratheon personal guard." Elena mouth almost hung open as she saw a mountain like a man and his brother who sides face has been burned and she didn't know who looked more intimidating.

"Nice to meet you." She squeaks before clearing her voice. "You both looked perfect for this job." She told them politely and while one brother glare at her the other merely gave her swift nod and she smiles at that brother.

Matt who likes her seems nervous and intimidated turned her attention to other guards.

"This is Samwell Tarly, their technical experts, it will be his job to check Tec of every place they visit." Elena shakes hands with him and saw him blushing.

This is Podrick Pyne and Tormund Bane they will be their additional guards and finally, this is Brienne Tarth she is lady guard of Mr Baratheon fiancé." Elena felt surprised and impressed as she shakes hands with this strong, tall blonde women.

She then turned to face a young man who looked kind and handsome as Matt introduced him. "Lastly this is Jon Snow, he is chosen to guard Mr Baratheon fiancé along with Ms Tarth."

He was short but when they shake hands, Elena can feel his strength. "It's nice to meet you all, I hope you do your job well over the next upcoming few months because I can assure you it will be a tough job."

None of them flinches or flatters which she took as a good sign.

"Elena!" She heard Bonnie and when she turned around she saw passengers coming out. "Come, they are here."

Elena, Matt and guards joined just in time as passengers walked out of the gates. Since they were V.I.P they are coming out last so they all waited and waited until finally, they saw two young people walking hand in hand surrounded by the airport security as they stepped outside.

"My son!" Cersei cried out and soon she was hugging the life out of her son who looked clearly irritated by his mother affections.

"You are embarrassing me a mother. " He scolds her as he shrugged her hands away but when he saw cameras he quickly forms a fakest smile and wrapped one arm around his mother shoulder. "This is a wonderful reception mom!"

While all this is going on Elena eyes filtered to his fiancée.

Elena was told that she was former model and quite a wild girl who loves to party and soak up all the media attention she can get and even few of her previous pictures and information shows that everything Elena ever heard about this girl was plain truth, but as she watched this girl who stood quietly and obediently behind her fiancée and in her opinion she looked quite simple and decent looking girl.

Even her attire was cute as she dressed in floral blue rose knee-length dress, white pumps and she was wearing sunglasses to cover her eyes and blue hat to cover her hair.

"Sansa, come here and greet my mother." He called her like someone call their servant.

"Hello, Mrs Baratheon." She greets her in a small voice and for second Elena thought she trembles but maybe that was her imagination.

"Daughter, call me mom as my sweet boy does." Elena watched them hug but then she saw Cersei something whispering in Sansa's ear that makes her flinch but she soon smiles at her mother in law as Cameras clicked.

"Come, we can discuss everything at home," Cersei told them and Elena gave her approving nod before she instructs guards. "Take your positions we will debrief later."

As guard take their position Elena watched for a signal from Matt and at the same time she saw her husband approaching towards them but for some reason, he was staring curiously behind her.

Confused Elena turned around and saw Reception party was already moving to leave but Jon Snow was kneeling down as he picked purse and blue hat that must have fallen which belongs to Sansa as she thanked him for his help.

Damon who was walking aimlessly to control his feelings and trying to remind himself that he had to be patient with his wife. He hopes that helping his wife with this wedding make her remember their own happy times.

From the airport screen, he saw their arrival and from what he saw, he instantly dislikes the bridegroom prick.

Bonnie who was nearby him called Matt to give the signal and that makes him run back so he can be with his wife.

When Damon approaches them he saw reception party moving to leave and his wife saw him too but something else caught his eyes and sense of Deja-vu hit him as he watched a guy picking up bag and hat from floor and handing it to a beautiful girl with red hair who thank him in her sweet voice and as Elena and Damon watched this, old familiar memory, something stir inside them.

A memory that they have forgotten long ago but now faith is repeating that memory for some reason but why they can't understand it. Yet!
