Elena's POV

My alarm was my mortal enemy on a Monday morning. I mean I really hated it for waking me up but I guess I had to get up. I hit the snooze button as I throw the duvet from the bed. I sit up and look at the clock. 06:00AM. I grumble under my breath. The only reason I wake up this early is because I need to shower before Jeremy does. I stumble into the joint bathroom and shut both doors, turning to the shower and turning up the hot water until the room is covered in steam. I get undressed and get into the shower.

The water working on my aching muscles as I work the shampoo and conditioner into my scalp, lavender filling my senses. After my hot shower… well it's actually a normal shower with me in it… I laugh at the silly joke. After my shower I quickly dry myself and brush my teeth.

I walk back into my room with a new strut in my walk. I quickly pull a comb through my hair before I rummage through my dresser pulling out another little sun dress I bought last summer. This one was a bright blue dress with a V-neck, not showing too much cleavage just enough that is appropriate for school. I pulled on my jays and I topped of the look with a small belt around my waist. I move to my vanity and blow dry my hair before straightening it and leaving it down my back.

I gave myself a once over in the mirror and smiled brightly. Perfection! I pack my bag for school and grab my phone as I make my way downstairs. My parents were morning people, I really do not know where I came from because I was more of a noon person.

I head down and my dad is in his usual spot sipping coffee while my mother prepares his lunch. "Elena!" my dad calls to me and I walk into the kitchen.

"Morning mom, dad." I greet with a smile as I take an apple from the bowl on the kitchen counter. You know what they say 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away'.

"Elena just want to ask you something before you head off to school." My dad says and I raise a brow at him, him asking questions this early on a morning was never a good sign.

"Yea…" I reply as I sit across from him my eyes daring him to continue.

"Are you and Damon Salvatore friends?" my dad asks and I know exactly where this conversation is going. Remember the thing I told you about my parent that would put me in a chastity belt if I was ever near Damon well yeah. That time has arrived.

"Come on dad. I'm dating his brother of course we'll be hanging around each other more often now." I say already preparing for the preach I was about to get about him being a bad boy and he only wants sex and he wants to get in my pants.

My dad rolls his eyes at me and then he chuckles. "I'm just asking Lena, we were just a bit surprised when we got home last night and you two were cozing it up on the couch together." What? Did my father just say that? I mean come on dad! I roll my eyes at him. So I fell asleep with Damon last night on our couch in our living room? That wasn't even considered as a scandal much less anything else.

"He just came over to talk and I guess we kinda lost track of time." I mumble not really sure if I was telling the truth or was I lying to myself. I wasn't sure what the truth even was.

"Nothing against it Lena, just be careful. I'm sure Stefan would not enjoy it if he heard that you're spending more time with his brother." My mother decides to chirp in. I know there is more meaning behind those words but I just shake my head from side to side. His visit was innocent and there was no getting in to each other's pants or anything.

"We're just 'friends'. And this won't happen again." I say and I know my voice was a pinch higher when I said the word friends, because I wasn't really sure that is what we were, we were still on the verge of getting to know each other, acquaintances is more a relevant word. I sigh as I pass my parents and leave the house. Maybe trying to be friends with him is not the right choice. It would just get ugly and complicated and I did not need that in my life right about now.

I couldn't deny that the time that we had spent together yesterday was nice and I enjoyed some of it but still I felt conflicted about the whole situation. Would I even tell Stefan that Damon came over? Did Stefan already know that Damon came over? What if he knew and I just ruined my opportunity with the one guy I actually like. My walk towards school was anything but pleasant as I jumped from conclusion to conclusion.

I actually felt nervous about going to school and facing Stefan, I felt like I had cheated on him, in a way I did but then again Damon was the one who had kissed me. And Damon was the one that came over to my house and he stayed with me. Not the other way around. I sigh out of frustration and I almost felt like crying because this was just complicated and annoying.

The school yard is half full, cars are pilling in and parents drop of their kids as they scatter to their designated friends circle. I was way too early for Caroline and Bonnie, they might only arrive in the next 20 minutes or so, and standing awkwardly waiting for them wasn't something that sat well with me. I was anxious to see Stefan and I felt scared of seeing Damon, I didn't know if I could look him in the eyes, well both of them for the matter.

I walked into the parking lot and looked from side to side, there was no familiarity among any of the vehicles that I saw. So my only option was to stand around and wait for my friends. My phone lightly vibrates in my hand and before I can look who it is that is looking for me I hear my name being called. I look up and there in all his perfection is my boyfriend, smiling brightly at me.

"Elena!" he yells and I just smile towards him. He looks so damn breath taking with his hair combed to perfection. I return his smile with one of my own as I start to make my way towards him, my phone forgotten with the message that awaits me. Yes I was anxious to see him but his smile sets me at ease.

"Stefan." I hum as he opens his arms to me and embrace me tightly. "Hey, how are you?" I ask still in his embrace and it goes on longer than it should but I am not complaining at all.

"Good now that I have found you." He mumbles into my hair and surprisingly it sends a shiver down my spine and not in a good way. Strange. "How are you?" he asks as he pulls from me, that smile still present on his beautiful lips.

"Fine and dandy." I reply pulling my bottom lip into my mouth and biting it slightly. I felt out of place for a reason unknown to me.

"And I am good too." Damon's voice comes up from behind as he pulls his backpack onto his shoulder. He places a hand on my shoulder and squeezes it slightly as if his way to greet me but being discreet about this.

"Hey Damon." I almost stammer and I am not sure what just came over me. I look up into his bright blue eyes, and they almost seem unnaturally blue today, but so beautiful. "How was your weekend?" I ask and I really don't know where this is coming from because I never speak to him in public and it feels like all eyes are on me, everyone is watching us. Was this the after effect of what had happened Friday night at the party?

"Same old, same old." He states moving towards his brother, but he seems restless as he looks around and I don't understand what's going on. Why is everything feeling so strange? "I'll see you after school, saint Stef," he says earning him a grumble from Stefan and he pauses as he looks over to me, his eyes meeting mine. "Later Elena." His casual farewell makes me feel uneasy but I dismiss it as soon as Stefan wraps an arm around me shoulders.

I look up to him giving him a small smile. Something was seemingly off with both the brothers and I just could not put my finger on what was going on. "He's been acting strange since Friday. Don't know why." Stefan says as we start to make our way to the entrance of the school, my friends have since arrived and they are waving us down like maniacs. Something was strange.

My first period was Math, well I was good in math, I love numbers. But my attention was anywhere but what our teacher was explaining. I grab my phone and look at the screen blankly. I had a few messages. One promptly on Whatsapp, it was either my brother or Damon, my money was on Damon. I open my Black Berry Messenger and I have a message from both Caroline and Bonnie.

'Hey Elena, what's up? You seem a little off today.' I'm not sure if I can tell Bonnie what's going on, I know that both she and Caroline disliked Damon and I just couldn't wrap my mind around what they would do if they found out that Damon had kissed me or that he had spent the better part of Sunday with me.

'Just trying to get the hang of having a boyfriend you know?' I send the text, I know I am lying and that I should not be lying to my best friend but I was lying to myself as well, because every time I see Damon I feel his lips on mine and then I can just remember that kiss we shared so clearly, and then again I am thrown back to yesterday with our almost kiss again. If I was completely honest with myself I wanted him to kiss me yesterday. And for that I hate myself, and for even thinking about it.

'You two look so cute. Have he kissed you yet?' I blush as I read her text and for a moment I would just ignore it. I move on to the message from Caroline.

'Lena! I am so happy for you, you and Stef look so cute and in love!' My friends were really supportive of my relationship with Stefan, if it had been the other Salvatore brother, they would have disowned me.

'Thanks Care.' I reply and she instantly sends back a text, and I don't know how she does it to type so fast, I mean seriously.

'What happened Friday night between you and Damon?' there was that question that I dreaded to answer. I think it was on every one's mind, 'What had happened between myself and Damon?' I should just ignore the question but a second message follows. 'I mean you both looked really upset? Did something happen?' she asks and I just roll my eyes.

'Talk to you at lunch?' I say and close the application and the subject. What was I going to tell them? I mean telling them the truth would only make things more complicated than it already was. I would need to come up with something before then.

I look at the green icon of Whatsapp, wondering whether I should read what the message would say. Curiosity got the better part of me and I open the application, and there it is, a message from the one and only Damon Salvatore. I open up the message. 'Can we talk?' the question seemed so innocent as I looked at it.

What was it that he wanted to talk about and why? 'About?' I type back and send the message. I look up to our teacher and he's going on and on about finding out what is x.

'Could you get out of class for a few minutes? I have an open period.' I sigh not sure if I should, haven't I already given him an opportunity to talk to me. What could be so important that he needed me out of class to speak to me. The only way that I was going to know was if I excused myself and I went to him to talk. Right? Yeah.

I raise my hand and our teacher looks up at me in surprise but he smiles nether the less. "Could I be excused?" I ask and most people have their eyes now fixed on me, I can't help blushing, all those eyes on me made me feel uncomfortable. Our teacher just nods his head as he continues to explain the question on the white board.

I rise from my chair stuffing my phone into my pocket as I make my way towards the door, I can feel the eyes following me and I can't help but shake my head as I turn the knob of the door and I leave the class room silently closing the door behind me, I fish my phone out of my pocket and look at the screen again. 'Where are you?' I ask as I nervously look around and I start to slowly walk towards the bathroom.

Before I even make it halfway towards the bathroom I feel a hand over my mouth and strong arms pulling me into the janitor's closet, the door closing as the darkness consume me. I fight the arms that are wrapped around me and soon I turn only to look into Damon's blue orbs, they look somewhat tense and uncertain.

When he removes his hand from my mouth, sure I would not yell at him for grabbing me, I huff out a breath in relieve. "What the hell?" I ask looking at him up and down. Still not sure what the hell is going on.

"Sorry Elena, I sent you that message when you got to school and I really needed to talk to you." He says and he seems nervous as he speaks to me, why on earth would he be nervous. Damon Salvatore was never nervous.

"Why do you need to speak to me?" I ask wrapping me arms over my chest as I look at Damon, it was hard to see him and the darkness strained my eyes.

He runs his hand through his raven hair as he looks down to the floor. "Stefan doesn't know I was with you yesterday, and the kiss… or what happened Friday night…" he trails of but I know he's telling the truth and I somehow feel relieved at this. I didn't want him to know either. "Don't tell him." Damon says as he looks up and his eyes pierce right through my soul as he stares at me.

"I wasn't planning on telling him." I almost stammer, his eyes were so intense reminding me of the previous night. Damon raises his hand and he softly stroke my cheek, his touch is overwhelming and burns my skin but in a good way and I have to fight the fact that I want to lean into his touch. His thumb ghost over my cheek for a few seconds and his eyes bores into mine.

"Sorry for putting you through this." His voice is low as he speaks, every now and then his thumb would touch my cheek and it would send a shiver down my spine.

I bite my bottom lip, I feel overwhelmed and nervous and anxious. "It's okay." I whisper and the ends of his lips turn up into a small smile. "My life would be dull if it hadn't happened." The words leave my mouth without a second thought as I stare into his blue orbs. I give him a supportive smile and it almost seems like he's leaning closer to me.

"Still, we'll leave it at that, no one needs to know what happened." Damon says and his lips are a mere inch away from mine, he's torturing me. I just need to get onto my tippy toes and move in and our lips would be touching. "It's our little secret." His words were but a whisper on my lips, and as soon as his lips touched me they were gone and he removes his hand from my cheek and then diverts his eyes to something else. I almost feel disappointed at the loss of his touch but I turn from him. I could have imagined the kiss because his lips were but a whisper on my own but I know it was one.

"Secret." I say half to myself and I feel conflicted when I turn to the door my hand on the knob. This should not have happened, not again. "I'll see you…Later." I say as I open the door and sneak out into the hallway leaving Damon in the closet, I needed to distant myself from the elder Salvatore brother. Whatever had occurred between us was gone and it was forgotten as soon as I shut the door to the janitor's closet and it should never be brought up again. I would make a promise to myself that it would never happen again. I move from the closet and I retrace my steps to my class that I had abandoned just so that Damon could apologize to me. My phone vibrates in my hand yet again and I look to the screen.

It's a message from Stefan, and he indicates that he would be missing lunch. I would get to spend my lunch with my friends and then I could think of some horrible lie to tell them on what was going on, and why Stefan had not kissed me yet, my lips tingle at the thought of a kiss but it's not with Stefan and that scares me.

I could not wish for lunch to come quick enough and when it rolled around I couldn't wait for it to be over with. I make my way to our table, Bonnie and Caroline would be waiting for me. I smile at the people I pass and the ones that greet me not really noticing who they are or from where I know them. I'm just polite like that, even thou Damon and I spoke I still felt uneasy. I still had this feeling that I could not get rid of. I wished it away but it just would not budge.

"Elena!" I hear my name and look up to where my friends are waiting just one thing seems to be out of place, Damon and his best friend Ric is sitting right there with them, I almost choke on the air that I am breathing. What the hell?

"Hey." I greet awkwardly as I step closer and both Damon and Ric look at me with smiles on their faces. "What are you guys doing here?" I ask and Ric almost seemed hurt as he scooted to the other side to make space for me between himself and Damon. I did not want to sit next to him, I didn't want to have lunch with him, I just wanted to forget what had happened and continue on with my everyday life.

"Seeing that you are dating Stefan, we're going to hang with you." Ric says motioning to himself and Damon as he pops an olive into his mouth. Over all Ric was fine, I just had a problem with Damon.

"That's cool, having seniors at our table only makes us more popular." Caroline buzzes as she looks to Bonnie who just raises her brow at the blonde. I could not care less if I was more popular, if it meant that Damon would be hanging around.

His silence says it all as he just continues eating his hamburger. Maybe it was a good sign if he didn't speak. "See Caroline gets it, and we get to be with the hot girls. It's a win, win situation." Ric states and I want to roll my eyes at him. "So Elena, future Mrs Salvatore, where is your boyfriend in question?" Ric asks and I see Damon raising an eye brow but he doesn't say anything as he continues to eat his hamburger.

"He texted me that he would not be joining." I say, my stomach grumbling and I can't help the blush that graces my cheeks. How embarrassing? With one hand Damon scoots over his plate of fries to me and motions to me that I should eat some. I think nothing of it as I take a French fry and pop it into my mouth.

"So Elena have you and Stefan kissed yet?" It's like the whole cafeteria went quiet and heard Caroline's question. All eyes were now focused on me as they stared. I can't help but start to fidget with the plate of fries in front of me. Why the hell does this have to happen to me, and I mean serious, every one's attention was on me to hear if I had receive my kiss from Stefan.

"Don't be so nosey Blondy." Damon states, his burger was finally finished and now he was sharing his fries with me. "If it did happen she would have told you by now right?" he asks glancing at me sideways, was he standing up for me? I mean seriously was Damon Salvatore standing up for someone else that wasn't himself?

Caroline's lips are moving but there are no words coming out, he has caught her off guard which happens rarely. "It's on every one's mind, so sorry for being interested." Caroline finally says something and I just shake my head from side to side.

"Nosey and interested are two different things, and you are nosey. So stop, can't you see your making her feel uncomfortable?" he asks his hand has now moved to his side where it's carefully resting in between our hips, I can feel his pinky reach out and touch my hip but I ignore it all together. I look from Caroline to Damon to Bonnie who just has her eye brow raised in suspicion. "Give the girl some slack, I'm sure as soon as it happens she's be calling you up to tell you all the gory detail." He says and I start to blush.

He was referring to me and Stefan sharing a kiss as gory. That was a new way of putting it. It seemed that most of the people had returned their attention to their own tables and discussions. Our table wasn't that important anymore. Thank goodness.

Both Bonnie and Caroline gives me a look demanding that I explain to Damon that this is girl time and I should share all if any tales. I huff shaking my head from side to side. Girls sorry but you won't get anything out of me while Damon is here. I can feel his hand scooting a bit closer and the skin of his hand touching mine, it makes me shiver involuntary making Damon smirk.

"Okay then, party pooper." Caroline starts pulling out her phone, "So who is the flavour of the week?" she continues and my eyes go wide, did she just all out ask Damon who he's having on his arm this week?

"Yeah, spill the beans Salvatore." Bonnie chirps in and I am quite surprised by her. She rarely commutes with Damon.

I am fully aware of his hand now on my thigh, covered only by the flimsy scrap of material that I call a dress, what was he trying to do? I'm trying my best not to blush or to talk, scared that I would stammer and stall and then it will be like word vomit and I just don't want that. I shake my leg trying to get his hand of but he has a pretty firm grip on me.

"I have decided to forgo a flavour this week." Ric almost chokes on the olive he has just consumed and is that juice coming out of Caroline's nose not to mention that Bonnie looks like she just saw a ghost. "I mean, things with Rebekah didn't go over so well, might just take it easy this week." I gulp and try to shake his hand of from my leg again and this time he moves it away.

"What no girl this week?" Ric asks and Damon just shakes his head from side to side, there must be a reason behind this. I am not 100% sure what the reason might be but I think it had something to do with something that happened between me and him.

"Don't think so Ric, I mean I almost had a taste of every flavour this school has to offer." Damon says with a smirk and that's it, I had enough of this conversation, I had enough of Damon. I rise from my seat without another word earning a few awkward stares from our student body.

"Not to sound rude but I would much like to distance myself from this conversation. I don't find Damon's flavour of the week intriguing and I find it just plain fucked up how you talk about the girls in this school like they are objects." I say earning a few gasps because sweet little Elena never swore. Right? Well push my buttons and you get the bitch. "I'm off to class." I say and turn on the ball of my foot to leave.

I make my way towards my next class, I am beyond irritated at this moment and the best thing would be just to finish my day and head home. And that was exactly what I did. I ignored the calls from Bonnie and Caroline when I left to go home not even stopping when Stefan called my name. When I finally got home I through myself in my school work, I had more homework then I actually thought and it would keep me busy until dinner. I did anything and everything to keep my mind of off Damon, and Bonnie and Caroline and in the process I even forgot about Stefan.

Dinner was uneventful because sitting around the dining table was only done on Sundays and today was not a Sunday. So it was in front of the television in the living room after that it was back to my room. I switch on my laptop and soon the screen pops to life, me and Stefan lighting up like the fourth of July. I smile. Maybe I was a bit out there today.

I shouldn't let Damon get to me like that. I mean it wasn't only Damon but my friends as well. And I'm not sure what Damon was playing at, what with the conversation in the closet and him sitting with us at lunch, what was with him trying to feel me up? I had some strange questions running through my head.

I open up my internet browser and go to Facebook. Not really sure why. But I look through the status updates and the pictures, nothing truly interesting. I roll my eyes at some sarcastic comment Caroline had left on a picture Tyler Lockwood had posted. Leave it to Caroline to be the sarcastic one in our group.

I scroll down some more and Damon's name catches my eye. 'I wonder if he knows, I touched your skin.' I read it again and shake my head from side to side, I wonder what is going on in that beautiful head of his. I see that Stefan has commented on the said status. 'Going out to the whole girl population of our school?' That was a bit rude by my boyfriend.

I look at the other comments and then Damon is online. And I just stare at his contact on the side of my screen. Maybe he was just this misunderstood teen. Yeah most likely right?

I click on his name and a chat bubble opens. I know I shouldn't but I just want to talk to him.

'Hey there.' I say and it's simple and there is nothing he can really read into right?

'So you're up for talking now?' he asks and I frown. But my phone starts to ring and it's Carly and she really, really likes me.

"Hey Stef," I greet swiping the phone and placing it to my ear.

"Hey Elena, what's up? You were acting strange today." He asks into the phone and I want to sigh, can't anyone just leave me be.

"Bad day I guess." I mutter back into the phone and I start typing a reply to Damon's message. 'Yeah, I have cooled down.'

"You and me both, I'm failing Biology." I gasp at this because I am really caught by surprise, Stefan was a straight A student and to hear that he's flunking was like the end of the world.

"How?" I manage to ask waiting for the elder Salvatore to reply on my chat. I don't have to wait long.

'Oh, so why did you up and leave at lunch today?' was his simple question. I look down at the keyboard and I can remotely hear Stefan trying to explain to me why he's failing his favourite subject but I can't seem to concentrate on anything he's saying.

'I got annoyed, I mean I don't want to hear about the girls you've had or that you're going to have. You treat them like object and that doesn't sit well with me.' I reply and there is a pause on the line which Stefan was on.

"Elena? Are you listening?" he asks and I just roll my eyes.

"Yes, but really Stef you should just relax and get your head in the books." I say not really sure if that was what we were speaking about.

"I know and thank you for your support. You're a great girlfriend." He says and I smile even thou I know he can't see it. "But listen I have to go, I'll chat to you on Black Berry Messenger?" he asks and I'm a bit surprised because we barely even spoke just now.

"Okay, get your study on." I say attempting to make a joke but failing horribly.

"Miss you." Stefan coos into the phone and seconds later the line is dead and I am still staring at my chat bubble with Damon because he's taking forever to reply to my message.

'So it had nothing to do with the fact that I was next to you with my hand on your thigh?' he asks and I shiver because my leg starts to tingle where his hand had been.

'I don't know what's your game Damon but you should stop, and I mean it. I'm dating your brother.' I send back and within seconds my phone is ringing again but it's not Carly with I really, really like you. But Damon's name is flashing instead. I'm not sure whether I should answer or not but I swipe my hand over the screen and bring the phone to my ear.

"I don't have a game." His voice almost sounds rough and raw with emotion, did I hit a nerve?

"I mean you're really confusing me with everything that's going on." I reply as I turn from my laptop and I start to make my way towards my window sill. I sit down and stare at the dark world that surround me. Everything on his end dies down and for a moment it seems like he's not even there. "Damon?" I ask and wait a few seconds.

"Could you maybe come down?" he asks and I frown but from where I am I can see there is someone standing in the front yard.

"Are you in my front yard?" I ask because I can't make out the figure.

"Yeah." Something is wrong with Damon and I am not sure what's going on but he doesn't sound right. Maybe jumping of my window sill and rushing down wasn't the best option but I felt the need to go and see what was going on with the man.

"I'm coming." I say and I end the call as I rush past the living room, my parents not even paying attention to me as I fling open the door and shut it loader then I should. My feet pitter patter down the steps and there Damon is, he's just standing there.
