Hi I'm back! Sorry I couldn't upload it earlier as I recently became really lazy. Also I was reading a very amazing TVD style fanfiction called 'A Women's Worth' by Cher Sue. It will start where we left out. However I'm very confused with Caroline. I ship her with both Klaus and Stefan. If you are a bit confused by how I can bring Stefan and Caroline together, just remember that Stefan will rise. So please help me.

"Oh my god! Aren't you the hot guy who dropped her last night?!" The petite blonde squealed. Damon was utterly speechless when he heard it. Not in a good way. He was confused about how to respond. His gaze shifted to Elena who was turned into 10 shades of red.

"Um…I guess so." He let out a nervous chuckle. His old cocky self would've found it pretty intriguing. However he had changed under the complications of life.

"Not now Caroline." Finally Elena spoke up. "This is Damon Salvatore, Ric's best friend and boss." At the last word he glanced at her. It was unnecessary to bring out the fact that Ric works under him.

"Wait so you are Ric's boss too. I can say Ric has a really good method of making his boss his best friend." Jeremy interrupted them.

"Actually Ric was my friend before I even took over this company." He said. "We met in Mystic Falls and became friends. Then I knew his business skills so I offered him to join me in New York." He said.

"So you are from Mystic Falls?" Elena asked him.

"Yes. Born and raised." Damon answered with a smirk.

"Okay breakfast time. Elena, would you mind helping me?" The bubbly blond rose from the chair tugging Elena with her.

"Yeah sure."

Damon was watching Elena going inside the kitchen, who looked at him before parting. His thoughts were filled with her. But he was snapped out of them by weird muffling sounds. He turned around only to find Jeremy shoving his tongue inside Anna's throat. I'm going to puke.

Meanwhile in the kitchen:

When they reached the kitchen she saw that everything was already settled in the dining table. Caroline only wanted to talk to her in privacy.

"Damn girl, you finally found the golden egg." Caroline squealed softly in excitement. She always acts like a cupid and tries to mingle Elena with every attractive man, who seems interested in Elena.

"What are you talking about?" Elena is sometimes really confused about what Caroline tries to say. However she knew what her friend meant this time but decided to not response accordingly.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about. Damon!" she hissed.

"What about him?" She was trying to avoid eye contact with Caroline.

"Seriously Elena. You like him and he likes you. When a guy likes a girl and vice versa, they take a step."

"Caroline, I just met him yesterday. How do you know that he likes me?"

Caroline rolled her eyes and replied, "Elena he barely kept his eyes off of you. The way he looks at you and the way you look at him clears everything. Then there is the chemistry between you two that lights the entire room." Oh god dramatic Caroline is here. "You guys would be perfection."

"No offense Care, but you told the same about Liam and every other ex-boyfriend of mine."

"Yeah I agree. However you tell me, do you feel different about him, or is it the same way you felt about others?" Elena didn't know how she feels about him. Sure being around him makes her feel comfortable, warms up her heart and makes it beat faster. Also the fact that he is probably the most handsome man she laid eyes on. Another thing that drags her to him is the mystery of his past and she has the urge to comfort him.

"Yes Caroline, I agree he is different, that's why I want to be his friend for now. I want to know him better, understand him and see if he understands me too."

"But Elena, how can you want to be only friend with a person who is hot, rich, generous, intelligent and polite. He sure as hell would be awesome in bed."

"Caroline!" Elena finally managed to stop her. "I'm calling them. They are practically starving now." She leaves the kitchen and let out a sigh of relief.

When she comes back to the living room she finds the public display of affections shared between Jeremy and Anna, while Damon desperately tries to ignore them by reading fashion magazine. However the moans and sound of lips moving were impossible to ignore.

She cleared her throat to catch attention. Damon turns around instantly towards Elena, but they continued to make out ignoring every one. Then Elena clapped her hand and called Jeremy. This finally caused them to look up and meet Damon and Elena standing. "Breakfast is ready."

They stood up and walked towards the dining table where everything is settled. Both Jeremy and Anna had a faint shade of red in their cheeks. They finally settled in the table with Damon opposite to Elena and next to Anna and Elena sat beside Jeremy. Caroline then joined them and was eyeing both Damon and Elena. No one was speaking because of awkwardness. Elena normally would have started a conversation with Jeremy, but seeing him sucking faces she could not remember what to talk about. She would have also started a conversation with Damon; however with Caroline gazing at them like nosy bitch, she also couldn't bring herself to speak up.

Damon on the other hand, had a very familiar situation. He couldn't talk to Elena because Blondie was staring at them like a hawk. He also wanted to start a conversation with Jeremy and bond with him. Jeremy and Anna were too shameful to speak. However that didn't stop them from making googly eyes to each other. Sensing the awkward silence Caroline decided to make a move. Her concentration moved towards Damon. She remembered that they haven't been properly introduced.

"So Damon Salvatore," Everybody snapped towards her. Damon lifted his eyes to gaze up to her. "I'm sorry about the way I reacted. I don't usually make my first impression as a blunt idiot, but I'm Caroline."

"I appreciate your apology Caroline and I hope we would know each other even more seeing me and Elena would be pretty close friend hopefully. Right Elena?" Elena nodded her head. She was so happy to know that he considers her as a 'pretty close friends' just like she wished. But she can't help but feel giddy about what would happen if she were more than his friend.

"I thought you said you guys were only friends?" Jeremy interfered with a weird question.

"We are just friends." Elena replied.

"No you were just friends 40 minutes ago in the airport. Now you're close friends. I bet in the next week, you guys will be too close for me to imagine." He concluded.

"Seriously Jeremy." Elena glared at him.

"What? It's not impossible right? Well it is impossible to breath with the sexual tension in the air." Great. Nosy best friend stops and annoying brother begins.

"It's nice to see that Elena and I are going to get topic of the year trophy." This is how the rest of the breakfast time was spent. Making jokes, laughing and teasing each other. When they finished their breakfast, they all made their way to the living room and continued their motion.

"So Damon, what are you interested in besides business? Please tell me its art." Jeremy asked him. They were bonding very well. Jeremy was taking pleasure telling all embarrassing story to him about Elena.

"If you are talking about hobbies, then I'm sad to say it's not art but music." Damon said in a low-tone which appeared a bit sad. Elena immediately remembered their conversation about his hobby, music, and that he doesn't sing or play anymore after his brother's misfortune.

"OH! I love music too. Come on Damon sing something for us." Caroline beamed. Elena instantly glanced in Damon's direction and saw him flinch.

"Sorry, but I haven't sung or played since two years."

"Why? If it is your hobby then you should always do it on daily basis." Jeremy blurted out.

"It's kind of personal." Damon was trying his best to keep the undesirable pit to himself.

"Oh come on! You can't just…" Caroline was about to make it harder but Elena stepped in.

"It's okay Damon. You don't have to sing if you don't want to." She had to stop it; otherwise he had to listen to the horrendous Caroline-style lecture.

"But…"

"Caroline, why don't you sing?" Caroline met her eyes. Elena widened her as to indicate to keep quiet.

"Okay!" the blond started clapped her hands and stood in the sofa.

Damon was looking at her with clear admiration and adoration. Elena was smiling at the blond, but her eyes shifted towards him and their eyes met. Damon mouthed 'thank you' to Elena while Elena mouthed 'no problem'. However their eyes were still fixated.

The tore their eyes apart when they heard Caroline clear her throat. "Now that I have your attention, I would like to sing." Duh. She started the music from the phone that was connected to a speaker and started to sing.

Do you recall, not long ago

We would walk on the sidewalk

Innocent, remember?

All we did was care for each other

But the night was warm

We were bold and young

All around the wind blows

We would only hold on to let go.

The moment the beat started to join the music, Jeremy started to sing along with Anna. Elena couldn't bring herself to sing as she thought of herself as the worst singer. She took a look at Damon and saw that he had a smirk on his face and looked at her in amusement.

Blow kiss; fire a gun

We need someone to lean on

Blow kiss; fire a gun

All we need is somebody to lean on.

When the exclusive music broke, Jeremy, Anna and Caroline were all on the floor doing crazy dance, then Caroline grabbed Elena's hand and she started to dance along with them. Damon was watching them dance and the way Elena was dancing it was hard for him to not go and hold her waist. His daydream was interrupted by the noise of his phone. He looked at the caller ID and was thrilled to see it was the man he almost forgot about. He excused himself and went to the hallway, which leads to two bedrooms.

"Look who's finally awake." Damon playfully said.

"Damon I royally fucked things up! I was supposed to pick up Jeremy from the airport with Elena! She probably won't let Jeremy ever live here! I failed Grayson! God this headache won't stop! Argh!" There were non-English languages and curses heard from the other side of the phone. Also the music was going wild in the living room. Then again Ric's voice was heard. "Are you at the party?! Damon I practically think that my head is breaking and you're enjoying a freaking party?! Where the hell are you?" Ric was almost shouting. He can't blame him; it was the headache that was driving him insane.

"For the record I'm not in a party exactly. I'm in Elena's house. Elena called you this morning when you were motionlessly having a slumber to sleep off the hangover. If I had awoken you, then Elena would have killed you, by seeing the beautiful and glowing hangover face of yours. Sorry if I over stepped my boundaries by helping Elena pick up Jeremy and take him and his girlfriend's luggage! Now get your ass out of the bed take the aspirin from the bedside drawer. We'll be there in one hour, so freshen up before we get there." Damon was huffing and puffing after giving an earful to Ric. He suddenly felt someone's presence behind him. He whirled around to see Elena's presence me. "What are you doing here?" Stupid question. It is her house and she can be anywhere she wants, dumbass.

"Well you suddenly disappeared and as a worthy host I had to look for you." She said playfully and walking towards him. Damon had a slight smirk upon seeing her. When he was face to face with her, he could see the adorable smile replaced by a concerned façade. "Was that Ric?" She asked Damon.

"Yep. I told him that we would arrive there in one hour." Damon was about to get back, but Elena stopped him. Damon stared at her eyes and could see a shade of worry on the beautiful brown orbs.

"Damon, why did Ric get drunk?" Elena asked Damon knowing that he knew the answer. "Don't tell me he always gets drunk. I can't believe that he would get drunk after I told him not to." Elena crossed her arms over her chest and was staring deep inside his ocean blue eyes with her bambi eyes.

Damon knew that he had no other options but to disclose the stupid reason for his buddy to get drunk. "Before I say anything just remember that Ric maybe the oldest but he can act like a 16 year old fool. So when Ric got the email of Jeremy he freaked out. In his drunken haze he told me that he has to now take care of two horny teenagers all alone." Damon looked up to see Elena's reaction. Her eyes were even wider than before.

This was what she was afraid of. She knew Ric would freak out after learning this. But how did Ric get the idea of them as horny teenagers. "I see why he freaked out, but I just didn't expect him to get drunk and miss Jeremy's arrival."

"Like I said, he can be a fool. Did you read the email Jeremy sent by the way?"

"No. Caroline told me that he was bringing his girlfriend." She started walking towards her bedroom. Damon debated whether to follow her or not. He finally decided to do so. When he reached the door, he saw Elena going inside her email account. Then she opened the one Jeremy sent. The next thing Damon heard was a huge gasp.

From: Jeremy Gilbert

To: Elena Gilbert

Hey sis, I'm going to bring my girlfriend with me tomorrow. I just can't leave her in Mystic Falls. So hope you don't mind. You don't have to worry about our living. We are more than happy to share a bed.

"Oh my god! Please don't tell me he sent the exact same message to Ric?" Elena asked Damon, cringing.

"Judging by his reaction I think it is."

"Ric must have changed his mind now. He doesn't want Jeremy to be there anymore. What will I do? Mom and dad would be so disappointed in me for not taking good care of him. Damon…" Elena was on the verge of having a panic attack. But she was soon relaxed when a pair of masculine arms wrapped around her.

"Elena calm down." Damon knew what Elena was going through. She just lost her parents and her brother was all she had. She wanted the best for him; all these things he was doing was a step towards possible heartbreaks. She was afraid that Ric might not accept Jeremy anymore. Damon knew that her emotions were heightened. He was in her position once after he lost everything. "You don't have anything to worry about. Ric might have acted like an idiot by drinking, but he is worrying his brain out. Like you, he's also worried that you won't let Jeremy stay with him. He dearly cares for both of you and values his friendship with your father. He wants to fulfill his responsibility. However if he relapses again I will kick his ass and break all his girlfriends."

Elena pulled back a little just enough to look in his eyes. Her eyes glistened with tears. "Break all his girlfriends?"

"Oh did I say girlfriend? I meant bourbon." Elena released a low chuckle before looking back at those eyes. Damon's hand slowly cupped her cheeks and Elena couldn't help but lean against his touch. "Keep smiling 'Lena. Looks best in you." They keep boring each other's eyes. Then Elena's eyes fell on his parted lips. She felt the sudden urge to kiss him. So did Damon. There was almost an inch left between their lips. It was mystery to them who made the first move, but soon they found their lips attached together. It was magical. They never felt a kiss as beautiful and thrilling as it was.

Her lips were soft on him and he couldn't stop himself from deepening the kiss. He sucked on her bottom lips, gaining a low moan. Then her tongue was licking his bottom lips asking permission for entrance, which he granted her. Another moan escaped from both of them. Damon was suddenly feeling his erection from the kiss.

"Elena, where are…" Caroline's voice broke them apart. They had to break the intoxicating kiss. Both stared at the doorway to find the blond gapping. "Um…sorry. Well you guys disappeared all of a sudden…so. Elena can I talk to you for a second?" She was plastering a fake smile and eyeing Elena. Elena nodded then looked at Damon, who was also panting like her with swollen lips. Their eyes met for a brief moment both a bit shocked from what just happened. Well you just had the most awesome kiss of your life.

Caroline cleared her throat and motioned Elena to follow her. So she did. Damon saw Elena follow her best friend leaving him alone. Damon was confused about how to react. Was he supposed to feel happy or concerned? Maybe she just caught up in a moment or something. Sure this was the case.

Elena followed Caroline in the kitchen. She was about to say something but the blond cut her off. "So much for the starting a new friendship." The blond had an evil smirk playing on the corner of her mouth.

Not again.

So chapter 5 is up. Hope you liked the Delena kiss. It came up in my mind all of a sudden. Tell me how you felt about it. The song is called 'Lean on' by Major Laser. (Who didn't listen to this song?) The title is named after the song named 'Little things' by One Direction.
