Chapter 3: Our Date

A/N: Well, I don't know what to say. I've been getting some pretty abusive reviews lately. Look, if you don't like my writing? Then why read? I don't wanna
deal with my abuse, if you don't like what I write, then go elsewhere. I do this because it's a passion I have, if you enjoy and have stuck by me, then
thank you. You are my true followers.

"Elena sweetheart, that was fantastic! We're just going to run it again from the top, okay?"

Hearing him through the speakerphone, she smiled in thanks and fixed the earphones, getting ready to run the song again. The glass was transparent from the
producer's box, but from Elena's point of view, it was blacked over so she couldn't see anything. They say it made the singers feel more comfortable. The music began playing as Elena slid the earphones, adjusting them so she could hear herself along with the music.

Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na

Strolling down the hall, looking around, Damon slid his sunglasses off and listened out, a grin covering his face. He would recognize that voice from anywhere.
Moving over to a door, he pushed it open, the singing now louder. It had been a whole month since he last seen those beautiful brown eyes on stage.
Looking up, Steven smiled and raised an eyebrow.

"Well well, the day Damon Salvatore walks into my studio..."
"You know you're in trouble?" He laughed, licking his lips.
"That I do," He laughed, "What are you doing here, hmm?"
"Visiting, what else would I be doing Steven?"
"Coming to distract my business?"
"So," He looked through the window, "Elena Gilbert, a client of yours?"
"Yes, the best I've had. The only singer that's walked in here that I have never had to use auto-tune on."

People told me,
I should write a love song
"Girl you sound so angry,
You could use some variation"
But I'm lonely
Negative relations
I've been hurt so many times
I don't have the patience

"Oh, I believe you." Damon responded, sitting down slowly as he watched her.

But I've wished for so long
For someone to come and show me
Lead by example
'Cause I've been waiting
I've tried every age
I'm so tired of the game
I wanna be somebody's girl
Would you show me the way?

Licking his lips, he tilted his head as he watched her getting lost in the music. She sounded like an angel, singing a lullaby. Smiling, he crossed his arms and
leaned back, just letting the music flow through him as he took her words in.

What if I never find and I'm left behind?
Should I keep hoping for love?
What if I'm still the same?
Status doesn't change?
Gotta keep hoping for love

"Perfect." Steven murmured, smiling as he nodded along, counting the beats.

What is love?
What is love?
What is love?

Somebody show me

What is love?
What is love?
What is love?

'Cause if you told me

What is love?
What is love?
What is love?

I wouldn't be lonely
What is love?
Please show me
What is love?

I've had blind dates
Hooked up with some real flakes
I've gone out with church boys
Musician's are the worst

"Hmm." Damon chuckled, smirking and shook his head.

I've tried so hard
'Cause I'm just so die hard
Tried my best to play the part
Wish you could see inside

"Did she write this?" He looked over at Steven, raising an eyebrow and tilted his head.
"Yup, she did. Took her a day. Smart girl." He commented, turning up the volume.

What if I never find and I'm left behind?
Should I keep hoping for love?
What if I'm still the same?
Status doesn't change?
Gotta keep hoping for love

What is love?
What is love?
What is love?

Somebody show me

What is love?
What is love?
What is love?

'Cause if you told me

What is love?
What is love?
What is love?

I wouldn't be lonely
What is love?
Please show me
What is love?

Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na

"A very smart girl indeed." Damon nodded in approval and bit his lip, his mind surrounded by thoughts.

I've been alone
For the past three years
On Valentine's Day
Christmas is no exception
Birthday's with naughty presents
Been back and forth, same action
I just need this to happen
I'll be singing love's praises
If you would show me

What if I never find and I'm left behind?
Should I keep hoping for love?
What if I'm still the same?
Status doesn't change?
Gotta keep hoping for love

What is love?
What is love?
What is love?

Somebody show me

What is love?
What is love?
What is love?

'Cause if you told me

What is love?
What is love?
What is love?

I wouldn't be lonely
What is love?
Please show me
What is love?

Na Na Na Na

After she had finished, Damon snapped out of this thoughts, shaking his head as he stood up, staring at Elena as she brushed herself down. She looked
gorgeous, her chocolate eyes glazed with excitement as she headed back into the booth. Going wide-eyed, he waved a quick farewell to Steven and
rushed out of the room, closing it behind him, just as she stepped through the door. Beaming at him, she smiled as he gave her a thumbs up, looking at
the door Damon just left through. Rushing down the hall, he slipped his shades back on and headed outside. If she wanted it, she was going to get it.

Caroline applied a light blush to Elena's cheeks as she laid back on the lounger, relaxing as she listened to the music playing from the stereo. Miranda walked in, looking at the two of them with a soft smile. The brunette was humming along to the music, her mind falling into a world of nothing.

"Elena?" She asked softly.
"Yeah momma?"
"I just got off the phone with...uh, an Alaric Saltzman? Damon Salvatore's manager? Apparently he's requested you as a partner for his new photoshoot?"
"W...what!?" Elena looked at her, wide-eyed.
"He asked for YOU personally honey," She shrugged, "He only wants you."
"Ooh, someone has the hots for you." Caroline smiled, laughed as she shook her head.
"Caroline!" Elena blushed, nervously, "When is it mom?"

"This Saturday honey."
"Oh...okay."
"I'll tell him that you'll do it." She smiled, nodding and walked out.
"This is a good thing, right?" The blonde asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Erm...yeah, I guess so."
"Oi, why are you so nervous? I thought you said that Damon Salvatore was fine...and just a normal guy?"
"And I stick by that Car."

"So, what's the problem?"
"Nothing...nothing at all." She swallowed nervously, faking a smile.
"Uh huh, sure." She replied, starting on her friends hair.

"Car, I can't do this." Elena admitted as the limo came to a stop in front of the building.
"Why not Lena?"
"I'm...I'm nervous I guess."
"Are YOU afraid of Damon Salvatore?" She questioned, smiling.
"No! Of course not," She told her, scoffing, "Just this is a big deal, I...I don't model!"
"It will be fine, okay? Now come on!" Caroline nudged her as she sighed, climbing out of the limo.

"Elena! How are you today!? Are you working with Damon Salvatore!?" The paparazzi shouted to her as she blocked her eyes with her hand.
"I'm fine, thank you. And yes, it looks that way." Elena answered with a soft smile, moving inside the building with Caroline as quick as she could.
"Elena Gilbert?"
"Yeah...uh, that's me." She replied, nervously.
"We'll get your hair and make up done,"Alaric led her over, sitting her down, "I'll be back, okay?"

"Just relax alright?" Caroline questioned as the brunette shot her nervous looks.

"Okay Elena, my name is Melody. With this photoshoot, we are putting contact lenses in okay? The thing is about these, is that you won't be able to see through them. You may feel like you're blind."

Elena nodded, nerves jittering through her body as Caroline watched on, biting her lip, nervous for her friend. This was going to be funny. Melody slowly
placed the contacts into her eyes and looked over at Caroline with a soft smile.

"Could you help her get into that dress please?"
"Come on honey." Caroline pulled her to her feet, holding her up, "I'm here."
"I feel helpless Car." She blinked over and over, just seeing darkness.

"How are we doing over here?" Alaric questioned as he walked over and looked between the two.
"Ya know," She swallowed, "Very nervous."
"It's okay." Slowly taking her hand, he placed his hand on her lower back, guiding her.
"Yeah." She bit her lip, inhaling.
"Right," Seeing Melody talking to Damon, he smiled at the photographer, "Damon?"

Damon looked away from Melody, turning on his heel as he spotted Elena and a smirk grazed his lips. The girl of the hour was finally here and waiting.

"Try not to get your heels caught." Alaric told her, helping her over the wires.
"Thank you." She answered with a giggle.
"Okie dokie," He gently placed her hand in Damon's, "He will take care of you now. You're in good hands, have fun." Alaric gave Damon a look, walking away.

"It's nice to finally meet you Elena Gilbert." Damon spoke, looking her over as he pressed a kiss to her hand.
"Mmhm, I just wish it were under better circumstances." The brunette swallowed, a blush spreading across her cheeks.
"Oh, you don't like this?" He grinned, tilting his head, "Don't you model?"
"No I don't, but YOU should know that anyway. You did as much research on me as possible before asking me to do this."
"Uh huh, I'm surprised you even excepted my offer Elena."

"I couldn't exactly turn you down," She shrugged, "We've never met and somehow you knew me...it interested me."
"Hmm." Smirking, he lifted her into his arms.
"What are you doing!?" Elena asked in surprise.
"Take it easy, only bringing you over to the set piece." He told her, walking over.
"You could have just told me that, hello!"
"Na, way much fun watching you squirm." Damon placed her down onto the bed.

"Right, hello Elena, I am your photographer Carrie, are you okay?"
"All ready to go." She answered, giving her a thumbs up.

"You ready to go honey?" Caroline asked her, smiling as she slung her bag over her shoulder.
"Yeah, I'm ready Car, let's go." She told her, looking up when she heard footsteps.
"Elena." Damon grinned, "Good job today." He took her hand in his, placing a kiss on it.
"Nice to see you...at last," Blushing, she shrugged, "Thanks for today. I'll see you around."
"I'll see you Saturday," He told her, his grin growing bigger.

"Wait, what?" She asked in confusion, turning around, "Saturday? What's happening Saturday?"
"Our date." Winking, he waved, "See you then." Walking off, the door slammed shut behind him.
"Uh..." Elena looked dazed, "What just happened?"
"I think Damon Salvatore just asked you out."
"Yeah, uh...that's what it looks like." She blushed, rubbing her neck.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed.

I take no credit for the song, it was What is Love by Jennifer Lopez.
