"Do you love him?"
A sigh. "I--" A pause.
Damon held her closer to him, wrapping the sheets around her. She'd been tired so he'd brought her back to where he was residing; an two hours or so away from where Stefan lived.
"No." She shook her head adding, "I do care about him though. I can't _not_ care that I hurt him. But if you think I'll go back, I won't."
She wrapped her arms around him, placing her head on his chest, her blond hair spilled across.
He didn't need to say it, Elena knew he loved her. Just sometimes she wished he'd open up.
"I just hope he's okay," Elena stated softly.
"He is. Bonnie's there right?"
"Bonnie, oh she must have heard it all!" Elena replied. She paused, then added, "Besides, Bonnie has Matt."
"Oh trust me. Matt's not who she wants."
Elena picked her head up. "You mean....?" Elena brightened.
"Exactly."
Elena smiled, but soon her moment of light heartedness vanished.
She sighed. "Oh Damon. I hope she helps him. I really do."
He brought her fingers to his lips.
"Relax." He kissed one finger. "She--," he kissed another, "will. It'll be-- ," his lips touched another, "....okay." He kissed her pinky, his eyes studying hers. He leaned up and then kissed her.
She parted her lips to speak but Damon placed a finger on her lips softly.
"Shhh."
Elena bit her lip and shook her head. "Not now."
Damon grinned. "You really think I'm all about getting you naked?"
Elena blushed. "No…."
"Oh you know you do."
She shook her head again. Damon sat up and leaned close to her ear. He traced a finger softly down her arm as he brushed his lips across her cheek. Then he whispered, "And you know you like it."
Elena couldn't help smile back. She brought her lips down to kiss him but they had merely touched lips when he pulled back suddenly. She almost fell on top of him, but her hand shot out on the mattress to steady herself.
"But I wasn't trying to get you undressed." Damon smirked.
"Sure."
Damon smirked again. "Honestly, I wasn't. Though last time I checked, I believe it was very good cure for depression…."
Elena rolled her eyes. "Damon…."
"So, my dear, why not give modern medicine a try?" He slipped his arms around her slender waist and pulled her back down to him.
A sigh. "I--" A pause.
Damon held her closer to him, wrapping the sheets around her. She'd been tired so he'd brought her back to where he was residing; an two hours or so away from where Stefan lived.
