Chapter Two

"Keep your head clear Elena otherwise you become easy target" Finn says before dropping me onto the mat in one swift move.

Finn Mikaelson, worlds best kick boxer and fitness trainer, sandy blonde hair, olive green eyes and the body of greek God.

"Let's try that again shall we?" Finn says with a stupid smug smile on his face.

He pulls me up to my feet and I get in position.

He starts throwing punches at lightning speed, I duck and dodge them throwing an uppercut then knocking him flat off his feet. I smirk looking down at him.

Finn chuckles and shakes his head "see I knew my student was in there"

"I got to get going it was a good session I'll see you on Wednesday, same time" I say before making my way out of the ring.

As I make my way towards the ladies locker room, the sight of a pale, shirtless figure going at a punching bag catches my attention. I cant see who it is as his back is facing me. With every punch the beads of sweat that form on his smooth muscular back begin to flow down. I find my eyes following their path down his back. As if in a trance I couldn't seem to take my eyes off him, they way he moved was hypnotising. With much effort I tear my focus away from him and brush it off

After having a hot shower at the gym I slip on a figure hugging black dress. Caroline will not approve, she is forever going on about adding more colour to my wardrobe, about how I am a millionaire and I should look the part every time. I roll my eyes at that thought, to be honest I really don't care or have time to worry about fashion or which colour compliments which skin tone, I pay my stylist to know all that. I glance at my watch and notice I have a bit of time to kill. A drink or two is certainly need if I am ever going to get through this dinner with my sanity intact.

'ROSE LOUNGE' is a upmarket club for snobs to let out some steam and relax frankly I think it's more for old rich bastards to wine and dine their mistresses or high paid call girls.

As I walk through the door the bouncer greets "Miss Gilbert"

Inside is surrounded arm chairs and coffee tables a row of boothsagainst wall on one side very classy leather red and black wood a bit of cream throughout the decor there's a bar on the other side with glasses hanging above the dark wooden counter.

a barmaid pouring and mixing drinks " Miss Gilbert would you like to have your regular?"

"Yes Vicki double no ice. thank you" I take a seat on a bar stool taking out my phone checking my mail when suddenly feel the same energy I felt at gym I choose to ignore it when Vicki place my drink on the counter. I take sip then proceed to bury myselfin my phone when I sense someone sitting next to me followed by a velvet smooth voice of a male

"what is a beautiful lady like yourself doing in a place like this"

I don't look up "go away I'm not interested" I say to him not giving any of my attention

"oh trust me one look and you will be begging me to take you home" slowly placing his hand on my thigh

It makes me react instantly I grab his hand and twist his arm pushing his face into the counter "listen dick I'm not interested means I'm not interested now leave me alone before you find your head up your ass"

he laughs "ooohh feisty I love them feisty it's so hot"

I let go him gulp down my drink and walk out when my beeper decides to go off "just great" I mutter

I walk towards the restroom finding an empty stall.once I'm done I stare at myself in mirror maybe I was a bit harsh to the guy god dammit if only I could endure a little touch but who am I kidding I'm a fucking wreck I glance at my watch "shit I'm late" taking one last look over at myself, I walk out I immediately find the guy still sitting by the bar talking to some girl I think I should apologise to him then suddenly he leans in and whispers in her ear, she giggles her cheeks are flushed. Yeah on second thoughts forget it just then he turns to my direction with oceanblue eyes piercing my brown eyes fuck he wasn't lying about his looks he smirks as if he knows my thoughts pulling self away from my destructive thoughts, I turn and walk away.

Getting into the car "Mr Salvatore's place James" I say to my driver

"certainly ma'am" I stare out the window all I can picture is ocean blue eyes staring at me I shake my head in order to get my thoughts clear what is wrong with me?

The ride to Stefan's place is not very long he lived in one of his owned lot of penthouse buildings Stefan is a great business man but most of his knowledge were learnt from hisdad he wasn't a spoilt brat more like prodigy to his father but he had drive passion for the cut throat business world like me one of the reasons why we get along and Caroline is another reason.

Once the car comes to a halt in a underground parking lot James is by my door opening it I step out "I'll call you when I'm ready to leave" with that I head for the elevator I punch the floor code taking me to the very top to the executive penthouse apartment.

I knock on the door the door opens by a bubbly blonde with blueeyes long lashes "good evening Care"

"Elena! Hi come in!" I step inside I notice Stefan is wearing a cable knit sweater that is navy blue that brings out his copper brush back hero hair something styled out of a superman look

"good evening Elena may I take yourcoat" he says smiling

"good evening yes you may" shrugging out of my coat

Seriously! Can't you two ever be normal speaking people I feel like I was invited to high tea with the queen!"

I chuckle Stefan just shake his head. We take a seat at their 8 seater dining table Stefan seatedat head Caroline at his right I'm at left and an empty set of dining plates besides me

"I'm sorry but my brother won't be joining us this evening" Stefan shrugs apologetic

"I did tell you were wasting your time but at least I get to spend time with Elena"

Ismile "Care you did see me this morning anyways I kind of get the feeling you don't like Stefan's brother very much"

"Damon is complicated he just going through something" Stefan shrugs

"complicated my ass" Caroline says taking a sip of her wine "Like seriously Elena the guy has the audacity to call me "Barbie" once but I swear If you see him you would think he is my matching Ken but don't let that face fool you he is the spawn of Satan himself"

I stare at Caroline for moment before saying "So I guess you'renot batting for team Damon then, is there bad blood between you two?"

"It's not that..." Caroline responds but Stefan cuts her off before she can continue

"it's just that Caroline doesn't agree with his choices, she feels they are rather misguided"

"Misguided my foot!" Caroline shouts "no one has been that misguided since the dark ages and even they fended better than your brother" she adds

"enough Caroline as you pointed out dark ages it is the twentieth first century and people choose to do whatever they pleaseincluding the women so if Damon wants to be Damon it's their choice to be with him now can we not talk about this and enjoy our meal"

Caroline takes a sip of her wine before muttering something under her breath that sounded like "he is a man whore" earn a disapproval head shake from Stefan

After supper we spend the rest of the evening in the living room in front of the fireplace exchanging stories from our childhood.

Caroline brings up a particularly embarrassinghigh school story. "So there we are sitting at the basketball game championship" Caroline begins, motion for her to stop but she continues anyway "We are one point away and Elena eating away at this brownie that she found in Miss Beagles office, our Englishteacher" Caroline explains."Then out of the blue little Miss perfect starts acting all weird, she shouting and screaming at the top of her lungs, babbling on and on and making no sense whatsoever. She suddenly gets up and runs onto the court!!! Caroline exclaims."Thank god it was half time" she adds I just cover my face ashamed at what I'm hearing."Running around singing we 'are the champions' in front of the entire school, they even got her on the big screen!!!" She continues."Everyone in dying with laughter and I'm sitting there trying to get her attention to get off the court with no avail, we were taken to the principal's offices, apparently those ordinary brownies they were laced with weed"

"For the record I didn't know that" I add in a defensive tone.

Stefan is laughing uncontrollably with his hands around his side

"and that is why I'm drug free" I say chuckling with my handsup in surrender look down at my watch it's 10:30 "I have to go it's late and it's a school night"

"what!? No. Stay. You can leave in the morning besides you are the boss!" I chuckle

"oh Care maybe a next time we have a girls night or something okay?"

"Yeahokay goodnight but I'll come by the office tomorrow" "sure" I hug her

"goodnight Elena thank you for coming" "goodnight Stefan I had a good time" I pull out my phone and call James to let him know I'm ready to leave as we walk to the door he tells me he is alreadyoutside we say goodbye and I leave

Blue eyes staring at me "who are you?" He smirks "tell me who are you?" Blue eyes disappears

"Elenaaaa!" "No no no go away" "you have such a beautiful body" "no stay awayfrom me you can't hurt me" he lets out a howling laughter "let me touch you just this once" "no don't come near me no no you are not real no go away no no NO!.."

my eyes fly opened my body lifts of the bed breathing heavily sweating everywhere "it was just a dreamit was just a dream" I keep repeating these words over and over I get up to go to the toilet.

I walk over to the toilet and take a seat. I reach for my catheters gently insert it as the pressure in my bladder subsides. I say in my head 'I'm safe I'm away from him I'm fine' I snapped out my thoughts once my bladder comes to an halt.

I gently remove the catheter and rinse it at the wash basin before putting it back where it belongs. I rinse my face with cold water and dry my face and walk out of the toilet throwinga robe on.

I walk into the living room lit by the city lights I look at the time it's 03:00am I walk over to the bar pouring a drink which I console while I watch the view out of the glass wall. It's so beautiful at this time I'm suddenly startled by clearingof a throat "Lucas" I say without turning his way

"is everything okay mam? I heard a noise coming from in here"

"Yes I'm fine. Is the apartment secure?"

"Yes mam"

"you can carry on then I'm okay here"

He leaves without another word I gulp down my bourbon I sigh heavily walking back to my room slippingoff my robe and head back to bed but instead of sleep I decide to work. So I pull up my laptop.

Sitting at the breakfast bar enjoying my meal that my housekeeper Jenna had made for me with some coffee which I sip on while reading the morning paper it's ridiculously how peoplerun their business to the ground suddenly my phone starts to ring

"Miss Gilbert"

"Elena! Finally I have been trying to get hold of you!"

Bonnie Bennett my one of human friend I seem to tolerate and my go to doctor

"…Jeremy has been looking for you he came bythe hospital" "what!?! Why!?!"

"I don't know he wouldn't tell me much just that he needs to speak to you urgently and then I was so afraid that's why I have been calling I called Caroline and she said you're fine that you haven't said anything about Jeremy so he probably haven't spoken to you yet"

"uhm yeah I'm okay err.. Hey Bon can I call you later?"

"Yeah sure just be careful and please tell me what's going on okay bye"

"bye Bonnie" Jeremy?What's goingon if Jeremy is coming to me surely there something wrong…?"Shit!"

I shout out loud I call for James immediately "yes Miss Gilbert" "James I need to leave now bring Lucas along"

I get to my office stepping out of the elevator with my bodyguards

"Elena" my body goes cold I turn to my right to see Jeremy standing there his chestnut messy hair and brown eyesthat match which have the look of a guy that hasn't slept for weeks I stand emotionless for a moment

"in my office now! James Lucas come with me"Ibark seething with anger.

Jeremy sits on a chair in front of my desk my body guards behind him "didn't come here to hurt you…"

"Why are you here? more money? Well you won't be getting a cent more I pay for your studies and give you an allowance that's it littlebrother"

He chuckles lightly "you haven't called me that in a while"

I bang my fist on the desk which surprises him "enough Jeremy! Get to your point I don't have time for sentiments" he doesn't flinch with my sudden outburst but instead takes it as if it wasa normal reaction.

"Kolis missing we don't know where he is and he lost all his money and Mary…" Hepauses with tear swelling his eyes he blurts out "she is dead"

Those words makes me go white "I see did he kill her?"

"What!?No!How can you…" I raise my hand to stop him from saying anything further

"I know your brother is too good to hurt anyone in your books! But don't expect me to sympathise with you all"

"He is your brother too.He,I was warning you because he isn't himself anymore and I know you despise of him but Kol needs help"

I chuckle "He was never himself Jeremy needed help from a very long time but Father and Mother was too busy praising great elder son who held high hopes to see the dark side winning" I look at him I clench my fist damn him! I look down at my desk avoiding his stare "if that is all I suggest you leave but tell me, how is your studies going I trust my money isn't wasted"

"no it isn't it's going well. I'm working on my thesis" he smiles sadly

"good now leave I'll let you know if he shows up here and stop wasting your time on him focus on your career"

he nods "I miss my sister you know the caring loving warm person she was, I hope I see her someday" he says his words breaks my heart but my face reflect no emotions he leaves without looking back.

Oh Jeremy I want to be that person again "James I want all guards on alert 24/7 I'm positive Kol is coming here. Two at the house and you and another with me at all times I'll emailed you his picture if he lost his mind he could be very dangerous. Do you understand"

"yes ma'am"

"good. Lucas can wait out at front desk" they turn to leave

I pick up my phone to Liam Davis "Davis I have a job for you"

"I'm listening"

"I need you to track down Kol Gilbert I want every inch of this country searched"

He pausesfor a moment "yes mam"

"The is absolutely urgent matter Davis" I end the call I sigh heavily I'm exhausted mentally and emotionally

I stare out the glass when I'm awoken by my phone "yes Olivia" "sorry to disturb you miss but Nicklaus needs to see you and you've an appointment with Mr. Lockwood in half an hour"

"send Nicklaus in cancel all my morning appointments" she is silent for a while

"very well ma'am"

seconds later Nicklaus comes in "Nicklaus I hope you have some good news today"

"yes after all I had to deal with ignorant clients this morning without a leader" he smirks

"careful I do pay your bills" I smile "well in that case, shall we get back to business then?"

Nicklaus left after our meeting was done I was able to get some paperwork done since I cleared my schedule I needed some distraction.

I pick up the phone "Olivia is my appointmentwith Mr Salvatore still opened?"

"Yes mam"

"send him in when he arrives"

"yes ma'am" I end the call I wake up from desk to use the restroom

As I wash my hands I hear Olivia outside my office followed by Stefan's voice

I walk out patting my skirt down making sure it's reasonable and neat "I'm so sorry Stefan for….."

I look up and I'm cut off by piercing blue eyes "YOU!"

"Do you know him?" Stefan ask surprised

"I probably slept with…oh fuck" obviously realising who I am exactly

"yeah fuck!" "In my defensive you are pretty hot" he smirks

I roll my eyes at him "can someone please tell me what is going on?" Stefan ask still confused

I walk to my chair "I may or may not of have flirted with her and she attacked me!"

I snorted "That because you tried to flirtate with me even when I turned you down"

Stefan chuckle "you got beaten by a girl for flirting with her, I never thought I would see the day"

"shut up Stef she took me by surprise and besides that's what you go to bar alone for drink a little hook up for a one night stand…"

"Oh right I must have not got the memo on that" I say cutting him off

"I'm so sorry Elena my brother can be…"

"A stud absolutely outstanding sex..."

"He is an arse!" Stefan continues glaring at him

"its fine so you are Stefan's brother?" I don't have the energy for this nor the time

"Damon Salvatore" he gives me a smug smile

"please take a seat. Coffee?"

"Yes please"

"Damon?"

"yeah sure"

I look up at Olivia who is practically gawking jaw dropped gawking at Damon

"Olivia" I repeat sternly she flushes and shifts as if being caught from something inappropriate probably mind fucking the sex on legs oh god I did not just say that!

"Three cups of coffee"

"yes ma'am" she turns to leave

"so let's get down to business there some malfunctions with the new model?"

"Yes I…" Stefan was about to say something but Damon cuts him off

"What were you doing at the bar that night?"

"Damon!" Stefan scolds him

"what? I'm getting to know miss uptight here you know since I'm going to be working with her" he says to Stefan then continues to patronize me further "so let me guess got tired of daddy's money?"

"Damon stop" Stefan says obviously frustrated by his brother's game

I chuckle at his comment "you think all of this was handed to me?"

"Of course I mean look at you, you are hot"

I roll my eyes "if you weren't so busy getting drunk and chasing skirts and done some research on your shareholders you would've known that all of this was built by me" I say proudly

"then what's with Saltz part? Your name is Gilbert most rich people brand their company with their name or a pretty cute name like pink flower something girly, oh wait don't tell you got with a rich guy took him out to the cleaners you wouldn't be thefirst girl to do so"

"ENOUGH! If you done second guessing my business skills and insulting my intelligence can we please get back to business"

Olivia walks in carrying tray with our coffees she sets it down handing a cup to each of us blushing at Damon oh forcrying out loud! It's just a pretty gorgeous kiss worth… what is wrong me! I find my mouth to speak "thank you Olivia we can manage" I say dismissing her

"Miss Forbes is waiting outside without an appointment"

"Caroline is here?" Stefan ask gleefully "oh just great Blondie is here" he rolls his eyes

"send her in Olivia" she walks away within seconds

Caroline storms in "you seriously need to fire that... Stefan!" she cheerfully says when eyes find Stefan first I swear I haven't seen anyone this sickeningly in love He immediate stands grinning like an idiot she kisses him I bow my head I can feel Damon's stare piercing me I look up at him he has a weird look on his face staring at me his fingers stapling his left cheek as if studying me blue to brown lost in each other's eyes Caroline breaks our stare

"Hello dick" she says to Damon

"Hey blondie don't you have shopping to do or something to do instead of interrupting BUSINESS meetings" he says emphasizing the word business but like Caroline fashion she ignores him turning her attention to me

"Hi Elena" she says smiling at me

"Hi Caroline how are you?"

"I'm good thank you, Bonnie told me you said you would call her"

"So you are here to check up on me?"

"No I actually wanted to see you but if you are busy probably tonight we can do that ladies night we can sip wine, talk watch movies just like old times" she say excitedly

" Care no I have a lot of work to do"

"oh come on Lena! I swear you only live for is this company! At least Let's go out? Stefan can join us with Bonnie. It will beso much fun! Pleeease pretty please"

I giggle at her pouting "okay fine where are we going?"

"I know a great place!" Damon says cheerfully

"No no no you are not invited!" Caroline scowls at him

"oh come on Barbie if I am there it is guaranteed fun whereas thesetwo buzz kills you would be bored out your mind"

"well you have a point I guess one night with you wouldn't kill me" she says

"But I have one condition"

"name it"

"you have to behave!"

"Done, Now all of that is out the way there is a place call 'Dusk' it'son Washington Street"

If Damon is going I rather not go "Actually Care I don't think I can make it" I try to get out of it

"oh no you don't Elena Gilbert you are going out that is final!" She reprimands me "This is going to be so much fun! Oh my god I needto get an outfit and call Bonnie sorry Elena I have to go now. See you tonight, okay bye"

"Hey Care wait up, I was thinking we can grab bite and since this meeting is pointless I think I can go if that's okay with you Elena?" he turns to me

"Uh err yeah sure Stef but I do need to see those paperwork" "Thank you Elena I'll email it to you with the details"

He turns to Caroline offering his arm smiling at her "shall we go?" He says lovingly she nods and smiles sweetly at him I smile at them they are so cute

I'm left alone with Damon oh god I find him staring at me again "you know staring is creepy and not forgetting rude"

"I can't help it with your beauty" he say flirtatiously

I roll my eyes "what are you still doing here?"

"Why Miss Gilbert you wound me" he says holding his chest as if his heart hurts

"kicking me out already and we not even naked"

"look I have work to do so can you please let me be?"

"Okay fine I'll see you later I can't wait" he says winking at me turns to leave.

God! How can someone beso hot and infuriating at the same time? My phone rings "yes Olivia?"

"Liam Davis is on the line for you"

"put him through"

"Davis what do you have for me?"

"This Kol character have been busy apparently the cops suspect foul play in his wife's death he fledto Las Vegas from Philadelphia gamble his way through the town until he lost everything cops were catching on so he skip town to Los Angeles where he purchase fake documents I.D included no one seen or heard from him"

fuck this is bad "keep digging Davis, I need to find him!"

"yes ma'am" ending call there "yes Olivia" answering the next call

"ma'am there is call for you on line 3" "who is it Olivia?" I ask her slightly irritated

"he wouldn't say ma'am"

"put him through" I roll eyes

"Hello there puppy" my eyes widen

"Kol" I say through my clenched jaw

"I'm glad you remember your dear older brother..."

"What do you want Kol?" Cutting him off seething with anger

"Remember why father kept your pet name puppy because you have these big brown eyes that are similar topuppy eyes..."

"Kol go home you need help, Jeremy…" I plead

" Not until we play a little game Lena, remember how we use to play every morning before school"

I swallow shutting my eyes tightly trying not to think about those memories that threaten to flood myhead "Kol I beg of you, go home please"

He chuckles "Listen bitch! we are playing a game my game my rules"

"Kol Lis.." he cuts me off "Your first challenge,is to find me in 10 days"

"just go home.." suddenly the line goes dead "Kol..Kol" I repeat his name hopinghe is still on the line but realisation sets in throwing the phone across the room "FUCK!!" I yell loud enough I'm sure the entire building would of heard me if it wasn't for my soundproof office.

Dusk a popular nightclub in NYC red carpet with a metre long line a perk about being rich you don't have to wait in line just show up and you're escorted in no question asked.

I get in its dark with flashing lights and smoke screens a huge dance floor with a bar pole dancers and acrobatic dancers in between a stairway on one side leading to balconies and another stairway on the other side leading to a glass room which secured by a bouncer I got James and Ryan by my sides.

I walk up the bouncer opens I walk inside followed by my guards I hear Caroline before I see her and the rest seated on a sofas with coffee table Caroline and Stefan on a two seater Damon on one side Bonnie with a guy with dark hair on the other side.

Walking up to them James and Ryan scatter close by "hey" I greet

"oh my god you look so gorgeous Elena" Caroline squeals

"thanks care"

"Hi! Elena how you? Bonnie says

"I'm good and you" I smile at her

"I'm good oh I like you to meet Dr Lorenzo St John" she turns to Him "Enzo this is Elena"

"pleasure to meet you" I say extending my hand towards him

"Elena? Elena Gilbert owner of SEH?"

Surprised that he knows me "yes the one and only"

"well then the pleasure is all mine" shaking my hand

I look at Damon who staring at me I go sit next to him since it's the only available seat a waiter comes up "is everything okay here?" She practically ogling Damon but he pays her no attention instead he turns to me

"would like something to drink?"

"Yeah sure a glass of bourbon thank you"

he turns to the waiter but already turned heading to the bar "so Bonnie how did you meets Oliver?" I ask

"We work together he is a new attending from Seattle"

"oh another doctor which field are you in?"

"Plastic I was general but plastic got my attention"

"because boobs are so much better than a ruptured appendix" Damon says

Enzo laughs "actually mate believe it or not I found growing skin from stem cells far more fascinating"

"see there's more to life than boobs,sex and alcohol Damon " Caroline says

"oh but those are the finer things in life" Damon says

"that impressive" I say to Enzo

"not as impressive as you are you built an empire by yourself"

"well business is my passion so that drove me saving money started up small slowly expanding loans and repayments later and here I am"

"she is also a badass negotiator she helped save my sinking ship when I started at Salvatore communication I didn't know what I was doing Damon was setting up the London company father got sick so I was drowning Elena stepped in and now she owns 20% of the company" Stefan says taking a sip from his glass

I turn to Damon smirking at him his expression seems stunned choke on that Mr Salvatore

the waiter is back with my drink

"okay no more business talk tonight meant to be fun!" Caroline says she looks at the waiter "6 tequila shots and refill of our drinks"

"oh not for me care" I say

"come on Elena! Let loose for one night "

"scared you can't hold your drink" Damon says

I look at him arching a eyebrow "fine" the waiter scatter back to the bar I take a sip of my drink

"Enzo how do you know dick?" Caroline says

"dick?" Enzo asks with a chuckle

"Caroline behave" Stefan reprimand her

"not as if any of your business Barbie Enzo and I went to the same boarding school we were inseparable ever since"

"wow you actually have a friend" Caroline says

"Damon isn't bad I would be lost without him when I got to the school I was bullied being the new guy with a British accent and overweight Damon was the only guy who stepped in and helped befriended me"

"wait! You were overweight?! But look at you you are gorgeous like a total Dr Mchottie!" Caroline says

"Hey boyfriend sitting right here" Stefan pouts

"you are hot too baby" we all laugh at them

"with that hero hair no one can compete Stefan " Damon says

the waiter is back with our drinks Caroline hands out a shot glass to each of us "To a fun night" rising the glass into a toast

everyone says "here here" throwing it back followed by squeals at the sensation of tequila

"oh my god love this song! Let's go dance" Caroline says pulling Stefan to his feet whinnying he doesn't want to Enzoand Bonnie already heading to stairs I decide I need the restroom

"Elena where you going?" Caroline asks

"to the restroom I'll meet you down" I say turning towards the restroom

Once I reappear from the restroom I notice Damon looking out of glass onto the dancefloor I look at him quizzically is he waiting for me? He turns to me looks as if he seeing me for the first time staring into my eyes even though it's dark I feel his stare pinning me

"you waited for me?" I ask

"uhm yeah I thought it would be easier if I would walk down"

"you didn't have to"

"you know the words you should say is thank you Damon "

"sorry I mean thank you Damon " I blush furiously

"shall we?" Walking in front of Damon closely behind Ryan and James through the crowd we find Caroline dancing with Stefan and Bonnie and Enzo dancing next to them I stand awkwardly looking at them Caroline pulls me into the crowd the boys start to disappear towards the bar watching us closely we form a circle just three of us dancing along with the music 'how deep is your love' is playing I feel as if someone staring at me I turn towards the bar Damon leaning back against the bar holding glass staring at me he smiles at me I smile back and look away

suddenly the dj voice is heard "here to all the lovely couples out here so grab your guy or girl to the dancefloor" "Thinking out loud' plays Enzo and Stefan make their way to the dancefloor I walk off suddenly my hand is grabbed I look up to see who it is all I see is intense ocean blue eyes I look to him quizzically "dance with me"

"no I don't dance"

"I wasn't asking" pulling me to the dancefloor into his arm his arm hooked around my waist the other holding my hand up while my other is on his shoulder staring into each other's eyes moving around the floor as if we're floating he pushes me away holding onto my hand and pulls me back my breathing is slow almost breathless we glide once again across the floor he whispers into my ear "breath Elena" I close my eyes try to control my breathing when I open he staring at me his eyes no more blue but something dark burning in them he picks me up then slides me down against his hard body twirls me around before dropping me backwards holding onto my body leaning in so close that I feel his steady heart beat against me i stare into his eyes wanting his touch suddenly his soft lips on mine instantly his tongue finds mine pouring every passion in this one kiss it seems as if hours have passed he pulls away pulling me to my feet when I come back to earth I'm aware we are centre of attraction people cheering on and clapping. My friends standing there gaping when realisation hits me I kissed him he kissed me I turn and walk quickly almost running towards the exit I vaguely hear Caroline calling out for me.
