I was so mad if it was possible steam would've been coming out of my ears. I sat in my truck almost ten minutes before I finally calmed down enough to drive. I pulled over at the bridge, I wanted to cry not because I was upset about quitting but because I was just so exhausted with everything. I closed my eyes I don't know how long they had been closed for but when I opened them it was sunset. I looked at my watch and it was 6:15, "Oh shit!" I started my truck and sped home.
I pulled in the driveway and ran up the steps, "Shit, shit, shit."
As I opened the door I heard Elena from the kitchen, "Hey, what are you doing here?"
"Can't talk running late." I got to my room and immediately started throwing clothes around. I finally found a tank top and skirt threw them on and grabbed my boots before running back downstairs.
"Wow you look nice," Elena said.
"Oh thanks, I got a date sort of." I sat down at the counter to put my boots on.
" I thought you were just driving around."
"Yeah, changed my mind." just as I pulled the zipper up on my first boot the doorbell rang. "HOLD ON!" I yelled as I tried to get up from my chair.
"I'll grab the door," Elena said as she got up from her chair.
Shit. That plan failed. My hope was to be ready and outside before Damon got here. I could hear talking by the door.
"You can come-" I heard Elena.
"No, Alexis is almost ready and you guys probably want to get going." Stefan interrupted
"You can come in Damon." I yelled from the kitchen, "I need like five minutes."
Damon slowly stepped through the door smirking at Stefan. Wonder what's going on there? I ran upstairs and fixed my hair, it was all flattened from my surprise nap earlier.

"What are you doing here?" Stefan asked.
"Well it's pretty obvious isn't it? I have a date." I replied.
"Stay away from her, you cause destruction wherever you go." He stared at me like he was trying to intimidate me.
"I will do what I please, I've been invited in, remember?" just then I heard Alexis coming down the stairs, "Now if you'll excuse me, little brother."

Ok, he's just a guy, a super hot guy but just a normal guy don't be weird don't be weird. "You ready?" I asked, obviously he was because he hooked his arm in mine and we headed out the door. He opened the door to the Camaro and closed it behind me. When he got in he started the car and pulled out. "So where are we going?" I asked.
"It's a surprise," he said I could see a small smirk, I melted a little.
"Hmmm...well please tell me there is food involved I'm so hungry."
"Of course there is food involved, what kind of date has no food?"
"Date" I choke.
"Is that not what this is?"
"Well I mean I called it that earlier but I wasn't sure." now I feel stupid of course it's a date stupid his exact words last night were "come out with me". Damon looked amused. I watched out the window for the last couple minutes of our ride. We pulled in to my favorite little dinner just outside of town.
"I had to ask around but I heard you like diner food," he said.
"Not just any diner food, this place is awesome and they serve breakfast 24 hours a day." I excitedly got out of the car and gently closed the door behind me. Damon took my hand and led me inside. It was quiet, probably the lull between the dinner shift and the overnight crowd. We quickly found a booth. When the waitress came over I already knew what I wanted, "Bacon and cheese omelet please." Damon ordered a burger.
I didn't know what to talk about. I knew he was older than me, drove a kick-ass car and was Stefan's older brother but that was it. "So what brought you to Mystic Falls it's not exactly happening," I said.
"My brother, he decided he wanted to come to live with our uncle Zach. I decided I wanted to fix our relationship."
"Oh well that's nice, I mean that you're trying to fix things. Can I ask what happened?"
"A girl... we fell in love with the same one, big fight but that's over now and I want to make it up to him."
The waitress came around with our food and I immediately dug in, "Sorry, if you want a lady like you picked the wrong sister." I laughed.
"Hey, everyone's gotta eat, besides I don't want to go out with a fake version of you." he smiled and I shook off a shiver.
We finished our meal, inserting small talk here and there where he'd traveled, books I liked. We got up to leave and Damon paid, when we got back to the car we sat there for a second. "So," he started, "there is a part two to this date but I figured I'd run it by you first."
"Ok... I'm not into freaky stuff just throwing that out there." I laughed when I said it but deep down I was a little scared of part two.
"Well, I figured we could go to the falls and stargaze it supposed to be really clear sky's tonight."
"Yeah that sounds great." no longer nervous, I leaned back in my seat. When we got to the falls Damon grabbed a blanket from the trunk and laid it down close to the bank so the trees wouldn't be in our way. I plopped myself down and pulled a joint out of my bag. "Are you going to look down on me if I smoke this?" I asked.
Damon pulls out a flask and holds it up. "I won't if you won't." He smiled and we "cheers" as we sat with our various vices. Damon started to point out constellations, I'd never realized you could see so many out here. "This is amazing," I said as I laid back to get a better view.
"You should see them when you're miles from anywhere," He replied. I felt him reach over and grab my hand "How'd I do?"
"Awesome," I said. I scooted a little closer and Damon threw his arm around my shoulders. I finally looked at him, our faces so close together. Fuck it I'm going for it. I kissed him, what I thought was going to be an innocent first date kiss immediately turned into so much more. I felt like my whole world was on fire in a good way, he pulled me closer and my hand went straight to his hair. I opened my mouth and he deepened the kiss. Somehow I ended up on my back with him on top, I felt tingles flowing through my whole body as his hands found the hem of my shirt. We broke away from our kiss and he looked at me, I nodded my head and he continued working his hand up my shirt, kissing every bit of bare skin he could find on my neck and my shoulder. Finally free of my shirt I reached for his. I had to see if he looked as good as he felt, he was happy to oblige. I stared at him for a minute before running my hands down his chest, he leaned down and trailed kisses down my chin to my neck and my collar bone and made his way down to my breasts, taking one in his mouth and the other in his hand. It all became a blur. I felt a tingling and knew my panties were no longer dry. "More?" He asked all I could do was nod his hand and continue its way down my waist and under my skirt. It was then I opened my eyes at first to thought my mind was playing tricks on me but no, his eyes were red and his teeth looked like razors, I put both hands on his chest to push him away but he literally flew backward. A mixture of shock watered down my fear, when Damon sat up I could see two perfect handprints burned into his skin.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU?" we yelled at the same time. He moved towards me. I held up my hands and he stopped. I was sure I could not repeat what had just happened but he didn't know that.
"I'll stay here, you keep your hands to yourself?"
"Deal, now what the actual fuck was that?" I was still terrified I could feel my heart beating in my chest.
"I'm a vampire," he said calmly "and that wasn't supposed to happen." he looked down at his now healed chest. "What was that?"
"A vampire? Like blood-sucking, garlic hating, turns into a bat vampire?" I was standing now and prepared to run.
"I like garlic and I don't turn into a bat." He pouted.
"I'm a witch, well kinda... I died and came back magical apparently." Still ready to run, my fear was creeping back up, "What do you mean that wasn't supposed to happen your face or me almost blasting you to the other side of the lake?"
"Well either really." he rubbed the back of his neck looking slightly nervous, "I wasn't going to hurt you."
"Could have fooled me with the eyes and the teeth, I for real thought my shit was laced for a second. I've got to go."
"It's like 5 miles you're going to walk?" He asked walking closer to me. I pulled away not out of fear but confusion. "I just need to think, I won't tell anyone but this is a lot like ten tons of shit in a five-pound bucket lot." I started to walk up the trail. I knew these woods well enough that I could make it to Wickery Bridge in less than an hour and home maybe twenty minutes after that.
"Please let me drive you home." It was Damon I hadn't even heard him walk up, I almost jumped out of my skin.
"Seriously! Stop doing that, I swear I'm really going to buy you a bell. It's fine I know a shortcut through the woods." I started to veer off the path this time I could hear him following me.
"You realize I'm not an endangered species right? You find out about the existence of vampires and you immediately wanna go for a stroll through the woods. Sounds kind of ridiculous to me." He said as he took a step towards me.
This time I didn't back away. I wasn't scared anymore. I just needed to process this new information. "Opposed to getting in a car with a known vampire." It was starting to cool off and I didn't really want to ruin my boots but I still wasn't ready to get in the car.
"Honestly, you have two choices," he said as he held his jacket out to me "either you can come get in the car and I'll drive you home or I follow you through the woods. Honestly, both are fine by me but I'm making sure you get home safe."
At this point, I didn't know what to think, "Why?"
"Why am I going to make sure you get home? What kind of question is that?"
"The kind of question you ask when 30 minutes ago you almost got eaten."
"I swear I won't hurt you witch blood tastes like crap anyway." he smiled. I know that was supposed to be a joke but I was slightly offended. I took a deep breath with it the smell of his jacket filled my nose it was a mixture of leather, bourbon, and cedar. I became almost completely relaxed.
"Fine you can give me a ride," I said.
He raised one eyebrow and had a smirk roll across his face.
"A ride home... don't be dirty." I said, raising my own eyebrow.
He steered me to his car, when we got to my house I realized we hadn't said a word to each other the whole ride.
"Soooo," I said, "tomorrow we'll talk ok?"
"Tomorrow," he replied.
I got out of the car and headed up the driveway. The house was dark thank god I have no idea how I'd describe this date.
I hope you guys enjoyed please feel free to leave a comment.
