I'm so sorry for the late update. My exams are close so I have to study hard for it. I think I'm going to start writing again from the next month.

I don't know about other authors but whenever I intend to write a short chapter I write a huge one. Anyway latest spoiler of the story is: -A fan favourite character, which is not in the show anymore, is going to comeback in my story (not chapter), to be the reason of all the DE angst. So enjoy yourself.

Damon wanted nothing more than to cuddle with his girlfriend in the fine Saturday morning. The fact that they were naked was another thing making him go hard. Elena has been living with Damon for 2 weeks now. Every day she had to visit Jeremy and Bonnie. In weekdays She meets Jeremy in school. In the afternoon she drops Jeremy to Ric's place and goes back home to rest. Then at evening Damon takes her to meet Bonnie and sometimes go out with her. When they both arrived at home they spent time with Stefan and Klaus until midnight. But don't sleep until morning because of their raging passion.

The weekends were of so much fun. They all got together last Sunday and bonded pretty well. Stefan, Bonnie and Alaric told all the childhood memories of Damon, which intrigued Elena. Sadly Caroline couldn't join them for her job. Surprisingly Damon and Enzo were bonding quite well. Probably because they both worshipped the ground their lovers walked on. The only difference was that Damon didn't tell Elena yet and neither did Elena.

Today was the Lieutenants wedding. Damon, Stefan, Klaus and Ric were going to be there. Last week he asked Elena to be his date. She was hesitant at first as according to the description provided by Caroline it was going to be huge with thousands of people. But he knew exactly what to say and do…in order to make her agree.

Stefan was taken home from the hospital last week. He was still unfamiliar to the settings of New York City and this house. He missed the peace of Mystic Falls. He missed that big mansion where he and his brother grew up.

The last thing he remembers was writing his journal in his old room and going to bed. He already thought about asking Damon, but backed off. It wasn't like he was scared that he'd deny him, because Damon deliberately agreed to anything he asked him. He didn't ask him because it would move him away from his estates and business that he built.

Every night he would sit with Damon, Elena and Klaus in the living room. Needless to say that they talked about only one memory of his which he fails to remember every day. He would've been left wounded if it were not for the jokes Damon and Klaus would throw and Elena laughing at each and every one of them. That encourage him to also throw embarrassing moments that he remembers of Damon and Klaus. Sadly enough Klaus would go back to his estates in Virginia after another week.

However today Stefan decided to go to the storeroom. He wanted to find something from the past he remembers. Instead he finds a familiar guitar. He doesn't remember seeing it but it felt so familiar and perfectly fitted against him. He took it to the living room and started to play a tune. This tune seemed to come from the back of his head towards the fingers on the strings.

At first Damon thought that he was hallucinating the tune of the song early in the morning. Then he thought it was a dream as he went down the stairs keeping his eyes on the person who was playing the guitar, which he kept at the corner of the storeroom. He reached the living room and sat on the opposite side of the couch. Stefan's eyebrows were furrowed together with deep concentration. He was always like this when it came to playing his guitar.

Damon looked to his left when he felt someone sit beside him. There was Elena sitting next to him with a content smile on her face.

"You didn't tell me he played so well." Elena whispered into his ears.

"Please tell me it's not a dream." Damon said. Those made Elena pinch him hard. He made him almost jerk out of the couch with a groan. Stefan suddenly looked at the couple and stopped playing.

"Good morning." Stefan greeted staring between Damon and Elena.

"Good morning, Stefan." She greeted back but Damon was too shocked to speak. When he came to his senses he finally blurted out.

"Where did you get that tune from Stefan?" He asked.

"I honestly don't know. When I found the guitar I started playing and this tune just came naturally. Why do you ask?" he was confused by Damon's questions, so was Elena.

"Stefan because this is a tune of the song we wrote and played together 5 years ago." With that he was taken to another world where suddenly images started to flash in front of his eyes. He remembered that day he was dragging Damon's ass to the garage and playing this song with him to release some of his pressure. He also remembered telling him never to forget this song and always remember it in the absence of him.

"Stefan are you okay?" Elena asked as Damon reached for him. Stefan was brought back to the present panting. "I remember that day and all the deep shits you went through." He said in between gasps and happiness.

The news of Stefan's recovery was the best thing that happened this month. Even Stefan couldn't keep the giddy grin off his face. Never in his wildest dream Damon would have thought that the song would be the trigger. They've tried telling so many things for the past month to bring his memories back by telling everything in detail. But in the end all it took was a guitar.

Apparently Stefan's memories only returned up to the day they shared that brotherly moment in the garage and some of Damon's struggles he had witnessed. The doctors even recommended finding more triggers. However that can wait for a few days. It was time for some celebration. Since there was already a huge occasion, they decided to shift the celebration tomorrow.

Today Caroline dragged Elena to the shopping mall to buy an elegant gown. Needless to say she found the perfect sky blue colored dress, which went little beneath her knees. The shimmering lace bodice of the dress has cap sleeves and a classic v-neckline. The faux-wrap dress has an asymmetrical front drape on the loose-fitting chiffon skirt and a wide pleated waistline that flatters her mid-section.

Caroline being Caroline went to three more malls before finding herself a lacy dress. A delicate lace overlay on the scoop neck dress provides a sheer neckline and allows the sweetheart lining to show through to finish with a lace hem. The slim fitting bodice shows off her curves while the open V-back adds to the 360 allure of the elegant sleeveless short lace dress.

"YES! I found my dress!" she started squealing.

"Caroline I was wondering what you'll do when we come to buy your wedding dress." She said sarcastically receiving a dry laugh.

"So I heard Stefan Salvatore is regaining his memories." Caroline said.

"Yep. He sure is making a progress. Damon is over the moon about it." Elena said beaming.

"Is he hot?" That question was out of nowhere.

"Why don't you see for yourself today?" she replied back.

"It's just that I've heard he is hot and from what you guys describe him as, he is definitely a perfect figure in my imaginations. It kills me to be the only one who hasn't met him. So I'm just a bit… you know."

"Nervous and excited?" Elena finished for her. Caroline nodded and let out a sigh. Elena clearly understood the feeling. Every time you hear so much appreciation for a person, you definitely want to meet him. And Caroline deserved to know Stefan as much as them. She hoped that they could be in a good state with Stefan's politeness and Caroline's optimism.

"When is Klaus leaving again?" Caroline asked.
"Next week. I thought you knew since you guys are hooking up." Elena raised an eyebrow.

"Well we didn't hook up nor contacted each other ever since Stefan woke up." She shrugged but Elena could see a slight trace of disappointment in her friend's eyes. Caroline sensed her sympathy. "Oh come on. It's not like I wanted it to turn into some fairy tale romance. I'm still not ready." Caroline said.

"Still Caroline. You're gonna miss him as a friend similar to us."

"Of course I'm gonna miss him. He made a quite impact in my mind. But that's it. There are no extra feelings. After all there are no strings attached." Caroline pointed out and Elena finally got her point. "Okay now it's time to get ready!" Caroline squealed.

Damn he wanted so bad to see her. But Goldilocks insisted that Elena should take a ride with her. They both argued but Damon had to back off when Elena promised him a surprise. He, Stefan and Klaus went together and had already greeted Peter. Now he was just waiting for Elena to show up.

As if he felt the pull his head snapped towards the glamorous and enchanting woman. His woman. She was looking beautiful as always. The light blue made her look more angelic and alluring at the same time. Her hair was left open in waves. He wondered if this was her surprise. But he knew Elena would not give him his gift in front of millions of people. Also, not one day passed where he didn't say 'You are beautiful.'

Her eyes caught his as she made her way towards blue-eyed love. Love. Yes, today Elena is finally going to say those three words to Damon. She can't keep it to herself anymore. Every day when she opens her eyes, those blue eyes keeps staring at her with so much love and devotion. There was no need of holding back anymore. She didn't need to feel insecure about his feelings anymore. Even if he doesn't tell her back, she'll be relieved that he knows. That devotion was still on his face as he walked towards her with a smile on his face.

He didn't even give a damn to the blond who was walking behind her as he took hold of her face and kissed her. She let out a satisfied sigh as she kissed him back. The slow tender kiss was about to get little too inappropriate when Stefan cleared his throat. Elena pulled apart slightly embarrassed of the fact that some people were staring at them.

"I know you guys missed each other but can the public display of affection wait until the wedding." Caroline piped in.

"Yeah, Peter is getting a bit uncomfortable about not being the center of attraction." Both Caroline and Stefan laughed seeing the couples face.

"I'm sorry where are my manners? I'm Caroline Forbes." She held out her hand to Stefan.

"Stefan Salvatore." He shook her hand. However as his hand touched hers they both felt a rush of electricity. Both of their eyes locked with the sudden pull.

"Wow so you're the famous Stefan Salvatore?" Caroline raised her eyebrows.

"And you're the beautiful Caroline Forbes." Caroline blushed.

Oh god now they are openly flirting. Both Damon and Elena saw the exchange. While Elena was happy to see them getting along, Damon stayed thinking. The last time he decided to be a cupid, it ended up being a no strings attached relationship. Caroline's assistant suddenly called her to tell that everything was ready.

The guests were all assembled into their sits for the wedding to take place. Throughout the entire process Damon's eyes were on Elena while Elena was looking at the exchange of love with a loving expression. Only when she felt his hand she looked up at him. He was also looking at her with his secret smile. She wanted to kiss him so bad but the noise of the crowd broke out. Everyone was on their feet as the now married couple exchanged a loving kiss. They also stood up to clap keeping their eye contacts.

The reception however was sweet and comfy. The married couples had their first dance together. Now all the people were dancing with different pop songs. Damon and Elena also danced in two songs before making their way to the table. Damon left her on the table with Klaus, who was currently seeing Stefan playfully twirl Caroline. Elena chose to move his focus.

"So at what time are you leaving?" Elena asked.

"So eager to get rid of me." He told with an offended voice.

"Klaus-"

"Sorry I was kidding. It's just I enjoyed my time over here. I'm never gonna forget about it." It was true indeed. He never had so much fun in Virginia. The other times he came here he had to face his brother and visit his best friend while he was in coma. This time he didn't have to face his brother and his best friend was finally healthy and laughing… with Caroline.

"Me and Damon are going to miss you so much. I guess I found myself a really good friend in you." Elena said honestly.

"You're good for him." Klaus said with a smile making her blush. His eyes went towards where Damon went and it almost came out of his sockets. "O fuck!"

Elena was shocked by his unexpected reaction. She turned around to follow the direction where his eyes struck. She was even more confused when she saw Damon, red with anger, and a seductive woman grinning like a bitch.

"Klaus who is she?" Elena asked timidly. She never saw Damon this angry with anyone. She was hoping that it wasn't the one she was dreading to see.

"Elena I need you to take Damon away from Katherine." And her worst fears came true.

"Katherine?" What the hell is she doing back here? According to all the stories she was supposed to be in England. Klaus could see the mixture of emotions running through her eyes. But before he could say something she saw something, which she never thought was possible.

As Damon was collecting his drinks a familiar figure came by his side. At first he thought he was seeing things, but her voice proved him wrong.

"Hey lover." Damon eyes shot up to meet her cold eyes. She looked still the same as before. Just slightly older and that disgusting grin was still present.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" Damon hissed. He wanted to pin her in one of those walls and tear her apart. But to make a scene was the last thing he wanted to do. It was someone's special day and he dare not ruin it.

"I thought it's about time to come back to the states. It's been so long. I really think people would forget what happened years ago. Also I was feeling a bit lonely after my parent's death. Not that I didn't have any lovers. So I came here to claim my possessions." Once a bitch always a bitch. Damon thought. She clearly came here to sign up for all the Pierce properties. No emotions of her parent's death were shown on her face.

"Well good for you. Now please fuck off." He said with a harsh and dangerous voice. If it weren't Katherine, that person would have run away.

"Oh come on Damon. I got to see you after such a long time. Is this the way you talk to someone you love?"

"Do you realize how sick you are if you think I'll still love you after everything you did?" His voice was slowly rising. She smirked knowing that she finally hit a nerve.

"You're the one who told that you'll love me no matter what."

"Someone made me realize what love is. And it isn't you." He said. He knew this would make Katherine a bit irritated.

"Are you talking about that bitch you've been staring at all day? I felt so sad when you didn't even notice me this entire time because of her." she said with fake sorrowful voice.

"You utter one more word about Elena, I promise you that I won't think twice before destroying you." This time Katherine did cringe a little bit.

"You can try, but before that I want a dance." God how can she be so full of herself.

"In your dreams."

"If you don't, I won't think twice before creating a scene." Damon's eyes looked up to see if she was joking or not. "You see Mary Lieutenant happens to be a very good friend of mine, so obviously she'll believe me. Therefore you're SRSA would stoop down." Damon's eyes were turning red with anger. "Come on. One dance won't hurt anyone."

Damon wasn't thinking straight when she dragged her to the dance floor. He was holding her too tightly to leave bruises. "I knew you like to play rough. Apparently your little girlfriend knows that too." That made him snap. He completely forgot that he left Elena out there. He turned towards the table where Elena was supposed to be. But it was empty. He looked around but there was no trace of Elena. "Don't worry she already left with her bodyguard. Klaus I think. My, my she looked so miserable, barely keeping her emotions at bay." She smirked with victory.

"You bitch." He shoved her out of his hold and sprinted off towards the exit. He ran a hand through his hair when he was unable to find Elena. He called her several times but her phone was unreachable. He went inside his car and drove off to his house, hoping that he'll find her lying in his bed. But even there was no sign of Elena. To his dislike the house already started to feel lonely.

"Are you sure you don't want to go back?" Klaus said while driving. When both of them saw Damon and Katherine dance together it was a shock for him. As for Elena, her eyes swelled up the moment Katherine took Damon's arms.

"Yeah I'm sure." Elena said in a teary voice. "Maybe seeing Lucy would make me feel a bit light."

"Elena, please don't jump into any sort of conclusion. Talk with Damon. I'm sure he can explain why he danced-"

"Do you think I'm sad about why they danced?" Elena asked, earning a confused face. "No, Klaus. I'm sad because that bitch can still affect Damon after all these years. She knows just how to push his buttons. She still knows how to manipulate him. I'm also sad with Damon's reactions. Why can't he just let her go? Why is he being so weak?" Klaus was surprised by her speech. He always knew that Elena was different, but today he saw the extent. If it were someone else in her place, she would probably be angered with jealousy.

"Then why aren't you going back to him and be his support? Why are you asking me to take you somewhere else when your boyfriend needs you the most?" That never occurred to her. Klaus is right. What the hell is she doing? How can she be so selfish? She was thinking of clearing her own mind, when the love of her life needs her. But how will she help him from the woman who ruined his life?

"How will I help him?" She didn't mean to sound so helpless.

"All I know is that you are his strength. And he expects you to be there with him." Klaus said. He was never the advice giving type of guy. But he felt like he needed to be one for them.

"Klaus turn the car and take me back to Damon." Although she had no idea what to say or do, she decided that she'd not let Katherine affect their relationship. She was going to show her that Damon's hers and Katherine Pierce won't get into his head.

Damon was downing a glass of bourbon. It was the only thing he had to numb the pain. However it wasn't helping tonight. He stood up from the couch and started to pace. He found his way to the balcony hoping the fresh air would do him some good. But instead it took him back to the wedding. He was now imagining the heartbroken look on Elena's face. He called Bonnie to ask if she was there but she even wasn't there. He didn't bother to call Klaus knowing that he was driving. Why isn't she picking up her phone? Frustrated he slammed his fist in the railing. Just then he heard the front door open. He thought he said Stefan to go to somewhere else for tonight. He didn't bother to go and check who came in.

Suddenly he felt a soft body collide with his back and wrapping her hand around his waist.

"I'm sorry." She whispered in her angelic voice. He turned around to look her teary eyes. "I shouldn't have left you alone after turmoil you've been through."

His heart swelled with so much love that it was about to burst. She came back to him so he didn't have to deal with Katherine all through the night. He put his hands on her cheekbones and slowly wipes the tears at the corner of her eyes. "No Elena. There's nothing for you to be sorry about. I'm sorry for dancing with Katherine. She threatened to create a scene and I couldn't let that happen."

"Damon I didn't run away out of jealousy. I ran away because I got scared. I was scared because she still knew how to get a reaction out of you. I was scared because you are unable to let her go. It's either you blame her for who you are or you're feelings for her came to the surface." He let her words sink in. She had no idea how wrong she was.

"Yes Elena you're right. I can't easily let her go and it is not because I'm unhappy. Believe me when I say that I've never been this happy when I'm with you. And yes feelings did come to the surface. Those feelings are hatred and disgust over myself for believing that what I felt for her was love. I'm ashamed that I almost ruined my entire life for an excuse of love. Also that it took me so many years to figure it. Because what I feel for you is infinity times bigger than what I felt for her. And that is what I call love." He saw smile creep on her lips as she looked him back with the same passion. "I love you." he finally said those three words. Instead of kissing him or rejecting him, she simply started to laugh. What is there to laugh about?

Elena met his confused eyes and answered him; "I just realized that you ruined my surprise for you." A small smile came across his face as he registered what she was about to say. "I love you too." She said before grabbing the back of his head and kissing him tenderly. But Damon being Damon turned it into a rough one filled with passion. Elena couldn't help but return it.

={~}=

"Unless you want to show the outside world what are we about to do, I suggest we get inside." He said against her lips trying to catch his breath.

"Good idea." But she went back to kissing him using her tongue against his. So instead Damon took her in his arms and carried them inside like they always do when they start to make love. However this time they were free to speak and show at the same time with nothing holding them back.

He gently placed her on the couch gently. As her head touched the cushion he pulled back from her lips to see her lusty eyes. She started tugging the hem of his shirt. He immediately helped her get rid of it and started to kiss her again.

The entire magical thing he was doing with his tongue was making Elena grind against his hard cock. He started to lick, suck and nibble the column of her neck. She was sure she would have a hickey in the morning. One of his hands managed to go for her zippers through the intense writhing of her body. He pulled her dress over her head leaving her in her lingerie. She did plan out this surprise. He placed mouth opened kiss on her collarbone to her cleavage. Elena managed to unhook her bra pushing it away.

That got a groan out of Damon. He palmed her breasts, taking one peak inside his mouth. "God…" she breathed out arching her back. He sneaked his hands under her thong and pushed a finger inside her inferno. Elena had her eyes closed as the pleasure was shooting across her body. He left traces of saliva as he went across her stomach, belly button and navel to the treasure point where his finger was already doing its job. Firstly, he placed a gentle kiss on her clit. "Oh fuck." Elena gasped.

It never gets old. The way she quivers under his touch. The way her body responds, gasps, moans and scream. The way her breath quickens and sighs of satisfaction leaves from her mouth. This time her eyes were closed, but he needed to watch them. "Open your eyes. I want to see them." He said in his sexy husky voice.

As soon as her eyes opened, he smiled devilishly before taking her clit in his mouth.

"Ah…!" she screamed loud but fighting with every inch of her body she kept her eyes opened. She looked down at him with their eyes locking. He was looking up from his position, still licking her pussy wall. That scene alone made her climax roughly. The intensity whenever they made love was undying.

Damon kissed his way back up her body. When he reached her lips again he whispered, "I love you."

"I love you too." Elena said with a heavy and breathless voice. He kissed her tenderly before inserting his tongue. Surprisingly, Elena gathered the strength to push him against the couch so she could straddle him.

"I need to be inside of you." He nodded his head as she sank over his length. The both moaned together as Elena started to move on top of him. His head fell back against the coach with his mouth opened. Elena took that as an opportunity to kiss him open-mouth. He kissed her back with their body moving to reach oblivion.

"Elena I'm close." Damon groaned and gripped her ass cheek, urging her to move faster.

"Me too. Cum with me." She was continuously screaming his name over and over again. He took her nipples in her mouth with his hand roaming up and down her body. "Oh Damon! I love you so much!" incoherent words were escaping her lips.

"I love you too." He said back as both of them went flying towards the brick of orgasm together. He spilled inside of her and combined with her juices. Elena's body was slumped against his embrace. Damon kissed along her neck ear and collarbone as they both tried to catch breathe.

"Wow." Elena sighed out. "It's better than I imagined."

"Oh yeah?" He teased.

"Yeah." She pulled back to look into his cerulean eyes. "I love you Damon." No matter how many times she says them, it won't be enough.

He lightly kissed her. "I love you too, beautiful."

Damon rested his head on the cushion of the couch with Elena lying gracefully over him. He sneaked his hand under the coffee table where he kept the extra blanket for whenever he passed out on the couch. Elena had already fallen asleep over him when he pulled the blanket over her and his body. He kissed her head before joining her in the dreamland.

There you go readers. This is the biggest chapter of the fanfiction till now. So what do you think about Katherine. I wasn't sure whether I'd add her or not. But I needed angst for this fic. At first I thought of writing it with Sybil but no one could beat Katherine in this task.

Also tell me about the confessions. If you have any suggestions or any problem understanding, write it as a review or PM me. So please hold your breath and wait for next month.
