"Come on Tasha, come for a drive with us. We haven't got long left, I promise Damon won't do anything to hurt you." Said Stefan, Tasha wasn't sure what to do.
"Piccolina, for me to grab you the way I did was wrong. I'll admit that. If you won't let me in then come out here, I won't hurt you, I promise." Tasha stepped gingerly into the lean to, Damon lent down and tapped his head, Tasha realised that he was going to say something to her with his telepathic powers, so she nodded.
Tasha, I'm sorry for what I did. I know it was unforgivable for me to loose my temper with a girl, but you have to understand that the books you lent us opened all the raw feelings that we have about each other, Katherine and Elena. You're too young to understand what it's like to loose someone that you love, I hope you never have to know that. Tasha just stared at Damon, he winked at her and put his finger on her lips. "I have a fan, I can't disappoint her now, can I?" He flashed her a wolfish grin and she blushed furiously red, making him laugh which made her blush even more.
"I'll meet you out the front," she said as she tried to shove past Stefan, who had gone away and come back to find his brother laughing and Tasha trying to escape. He was just about to ask Damon what he'd done to her when he saw Tasha's reddening face, he understood suddenly and tried unsuccessfully to fight back the laughter, "don't you start!" she said.
Stefan stopped and grinned at her, "couldn't help it, sorry. So the drive's still on?"
Tasha opened the front door, "okay, you can come in." Damon looked at her with surprise, "I've just decided and besides, we don't have time for any drives if you have to be at the airport for eleven thirty." Stefan looked at the clock in the kitchen, it was ten o clock so they had an hour, the girl was right, then he saw Damon pull something out of his pocket.
"I thought that perhaps you might want a little more than a signature on a bit of paper- say cheese brother!" Before Stefan could say anything, Damon took a picture of him with the disposable camera that had an automatic flash. The flash went off leaving Stefan and Tasha slightly blinded.
"That hurt my eyes! My turn I think." Stefan took the camera from his brother and took a picture of him- flash! Damon hissed as the light blinded him and glared at Stefan.
"Okay, why don't we go to the park then? It's literally just up the road." Damon and Stefan stared at her, then there was a mad scramble to get out. Tasha was the first out followed by Damon, but only by a hairs' breadth and only because he used his powers, she ran after them and into the park. Stefan tossed her the camera and she took a picture of him, then Damon, then Damon and Stefan.
Stefan offered to take some of her and Damon, who agreed too readily for Tasha's liking and she half expected him to make a silly gesture, with his hands behind her head. Then Damon got to take a couple of pictures of her with Stefan, although he offered to take Stefan's picture standing next to a deer which earned him a thump and a laugh from Tasha, who had grown bolder with the excitement.
Suddenly something made Tasha look at the watch with the broken strap that she had tucked away in jeans. She always forgot about it, it was showing as half past ten already where had the time gone?
She didn't know how long it would take them to get to the airport but at least they seemed to be having a good time snatching the camera off one another- boys! They were the reason why she went to all girls school, they could be horrible sometimes and just stupid the rest, right now they were being stupid and if Stefan stepped back any further he'd go into the ditch.
"Stefan! Don't…" he stepped back, "step back," she trailed off. She tried to hide her eyes in her hands but couldn't resist a peak when she didn't hear the splash of water. Thanks to his vampire reactions he'd managed to save himself, Damon laughed and Tasha couldn't help but giggle as well, Stefan didn't look overly happy but didn't say anything.
"Um, what time do you need to leave to go to the airport? Because it's half ten now."
Stefan looked at Damon, who put the camera down for a second, "we do need to leave now as I need to return the car. We'll walk you back." Tasha didn't argue that it was only two minutes down the road, she was glad she got to spend a little bit more time with them. Damon gave her the camera and she saw it had five shots left, so she used most of them up on pictures of Damon and Stefan posing by an old dead tree, looking very moody and then the last two were of Damon and Stefan and their fangs- as suggested by Damon who winked at her when he suggested it.
Stefan looked a bit shocked but when he saw Tasha going red he just smiled and kept his mouth shut, he guessed Tasha must have thought about getting a picture of their teeth and Damon had taken it from her thoughts.
