"Elena! Hurry the hell up , we have dinner with the whole of the Salvatore family in twenty minutes we can't be late!" Caroline shouted quickly grabbing her coat and keys from the side . Damon and Stefan had decided it was time for the girls to meet the rest of their crazy messed up family .
"Two minutes Care! I promise I'm nearly done I just can't find my other shoe." Elena rushed out using her phone as a torch to search under the bed.
"Check behind your door! Last time you wore the black heels you was drunk and threw them at me!"
Elena rushed over and breathed a sigh of relief as she finally found it, thank god Caroline had a good memory otherwise she wouldn't have had a clue where the hell to look next.
"Got it ! I'm coming , I'm coming." Elena screeched rushing down the stairs her bouncy curls going everywhere .
Caroline giggled at the sight , her and Elena always did the most stupid things and watching Elena rush down that hallway bare foot with her hair everywhere was just a prime example.
"Looking good !" Elena complimented breathlessly , admiring her best friends fitted white dress and teal leather jacket.
"You too! I told you that open back dress was doing to be amazing on you." Caroline chirped linking arms with Elena as they made their way to the front door.
"Yeah well , I'm going to be freezing once tonight is over . Damon best be prepared for a night guest ." She muttered as Caroline laughed.
They arrived at the Salvatore mansion with five minutes to spare meaning it was the perfect time to prepare themselves . Both girls had already met Giuseppe however , the other family members such as uncle Zach they remained a complete mystery .
"Ok so , no immature talk or winding the guys up. No chewing with our mouths open and most of all we must keep smiling ! This has to be a good impression after this we can be free to do whatever the hell we want ! Deal?" Caroline said holding Elena by her shoulders.
"Deal!" Elena said pinky promising .
Damon and Stefan stood watching at the living room entrance smirking amused at the two girls they had fallen in love with.
"So much for no immature talk. Pinky promises really ?" Stefan chuckled wrapping his arms around his blonde girlfriend .
"I will have you know Stefan , pinky promises are a passage of life and I will never not use them." Elena stated reaching over to flick in gently in the head.
The sight was enough to have Damon smiling from ear to ear. He loved how after only nine months of dating Elena and Stefan where as close as two siblings. It was amazing to know she had someone to turn to other than him and Caroline .
"Shall we go grab a seat? The family are all outside having a smoke and what not so might as well take the chance whilst we can!" Stefan suggested guiding them into the dining room area.
"I can't believe how huge this place is !" Elena gasped admiring the diamond chandelier hanging from the bronze encrusted ceilings.
"Yeah well , dad works hard ! He gets exactly what he works for." Damon smiled.
He slowly pulled out a chair for Elena next to his towards the top end of the table .
"Here you go beautiful." He said kissing her cheek before walking to sit down.
"Thank you." She blushed straightening out her slightly crumpled dress.
"Elena! Caroline! " Both girls turned at the sound of Giuseppe's voice and saw him smiling widely as he walked into the room.
"Looking lovely as ever ." He added kissing each of the girls hands softly.
"You don't look to bad your self!" Caroline replied chuckling .
"Always the charmer Care!" He laughed taking his seat at the head of the table .
Just then the door opened and more people entered the room slowly, chatting away with each other completely ignore everything else .
"Excuse me! We have guests tonight !" Giuseppe called . And just like that Elena wanted to shrink into a ball as all eyes turned to them.
"This is Caroline, Stefan's girlfriend she's quite the charmer I assure you ." Everyone nodded their heads smiling softly at the blonde.
"And this magnificent young lady who has stolen our boy Damon's heart, is Elena." She waved shyly as Damon rubbed her thigh. For some reason it seemed everyone was a lot more interested in her than Caroline . Maybe It's because Damon hardly brings anyone over for dinner or it's been a while since they've met one of his girlfriends.
"Well girls , I for one am I extremely happy to meet you! About time we had some new females in this family! I'm Lexi ." A dark blonde girl spoke rushing over to hug them both.
"Or as these two goof balls like to call me , the annoying cousin they can't get rid of !" She giggled ruffling Stefan's hair as he grumbled. Elena liked her already .
"And I'm Rebecca, Lexi's sister and the slightly less annoying one." The second blonde girl announced . It was easy to tell the two apart , Lexi had toffee brown tones to her hair along with dark brown eyes , where as Rebecca was pure white blonde with the same Salvatore blue eyes that Damon and his father shared.
"And I'm Uncle Zach, their father." A tall man spoke as he came between the two girls . Caroline and Elena both turned to eachother . This guy was seriously intimidating! He was far too tall and slender looking.
"And as for the rest of these guys these are our aunts Trish , Marie and Haley." Damon explained pointing to each of the woman sat opposite them.
"Good , now that we are all introduced let's eat shall we!"
The meal lasted a good hour and a half before everyone decided to head outside for a bit. The soft music playing along with the chatting and warm fire made Elena feel like she was finally at home . It had taken her a while to adjust to the whole relationship thing but being her with his family made her realise just how much she wanted and needed Damon in her life .
Caroline and her had always said that as soon as they both fell in love that they would help each other find a way to not fall to deep . But honestly she doesn't think there was anything they could do. Watching as her best friend danced slowly her head on Stefan's shoulder , there was no way in hell she would be able to break that connection they had for each other.
"Penny for your thoughts ?" Damon mumbled coming up behind her .
"Hmmm, just thinking about how much I love you and how I can't wait to snuggle up in your arms tonight ." She whispered holding his arms around her waist.
"I love you too ." Damon smiled kissing her neck softly .
That night was more than perfect for all who had been there . It was a night of laughs and getting to know each other and honestly Caroline and Elena didn't even need to tone it down on their personalities because the Salvatore family was just as crazy.
They had finally found their place and they couldn't be more happy .
