Chapter 4: What Was The Catch?

The brunette was trembling with nerves as she twirled, staring at herself in the mirror. This was it, the big night with THEE Damon Salvatore. Did she want this? She didn't know. All she knew is that he was bad news, every single person out there knows it. Hearing footsteps, she turned around with a smile.

"Wow, he is not going to take his eyes off of you Lena."
"I hope he can or it will be like WOAH, Damon Salvatore is staring at me."

They both laughed as Caroline leaned against the door, watching her. The brunette played with her hair, smoothing her dress down.

"Does your mom know?" She asked, "About the date?"
"Ah, it is NOT a date. It is a friendly outing."
"All ready for your date honey?" Miranda walked in, smiling.

The brunette cleared her throat as Caroline crossed her arms, a smirk on her face. A blush made its way to her cheeks as she smiled.

"It is NOT a date!" She protested.

Hearing the doorbell, she held her breath as she made her way over to the door and opened it, trying not to scream in excitement.

"So, ready for our date?" Damon grinned, holding out a rose for her.
"Uhm," She blushed, hearing Caroline and her mom, laughing, "Sure."

The drive over was peaceful and quiet. The brunette was in her own mindset and didn't know what to say or do. Before they knew it, a half an hour had passed and they had reached their destination.

"Who knew huh?" She looked around the rooftop, "You're a romancer at heart."
"Oi!" He chuckled, smirking, "That's a secret, so shhh!"
"Of course." She answered with an eye roll, "Wouldn't wanna sabotage your perfect reputation now, would we?"

He gave her a nod and winked as she blushed deeply and shook her head.

A while had passed as they enjoyed each others company and a moon lit dinner on the rooftop. They had now decided to go for a quiet stroll along the road, LITERALLY in the middle of the road.

"So Damon, tell me about yourself, what made you... model?"
"It just happened," He looked at her, grinning, "And you?"
"I just always wanted something in the music industry."
"So, Caroline is it? How did you meet her?"
"Ah, you know," She smiled, "The usual story. She had a dream and so did I. She wanted to be a stylist and I wanted to be a star. So, we decided to share the dream together."

Damon gave her a grin, nodding in understanding as he glanced around the street, running his tongue across his bottom lip.

"Is it me or is it...oddly quiet?" She looked around.
"I had the paparazzi distracted for a while."
"Good call," She laughed, "So Mr Salvatore, tell me something about you that no one else knows."
"Hmm," He grinned, tapping his chin and pointed, "I can sing."
"No seriously!" She laughed and then frowned when he shot her a look, "You can't though. Otherwise, you would be singing and modeling, would you not?"

"I CAN too sing!"
"Okay," She crossed her arms, "Prove it."
"Ha, fine!" Smirking, he ran over to some buskers, "Hey guys, drop me a beat?"

They gave him a nod as they started playing their instruments together and Damon turned to Elena, a grin on his face.

Everybody's lookin' for love, oh, oh
Ain't that the reason you're at this club, oh, oh
You ain't gon' find it dancing with him, no oh
I got a better solution for you, girl, oh, oh
Just leave with me now
Say the word and we'll go
I'll be your teacher; I'll show you the ropes
You'll see a side of love you've never known
I can see it going down,going down

He walked towards her, pointing with a grin spread across his face as he pointed towards himself and shrugged innocently, causing her to laugh and shake her head.

In my head, I see you all over me,
In my head, you fufill my fantasy
In my head, you'll be screamin', ooooh
In my head, it's goin' down
In my head, it's goin' down

Elena watched with a grin as he winked at her and spun around, trying to keep his balance, causing her to laugh and shake her head.

Some dudes know all the right things to say eh eh
When it comes down to it, it's all just game yeah
Instead of talkin', let me demonstrate, yeah
Get down to business and skip foreplay
Ay yeah

Jumping onto a bench, he walked on the edge of it and laughed, jumping down in front of her as he took her hand and pressed a kiss to it, singing to her with a smile.

Just leave with me now
Say the word and we'll go (we can go)
I'll be your teacher; I'll show you the ropes (show you the ropes)
You'll see a side of love you've never known
I can see it goin' down, we're goin' down

Elena burst into a fit of nervous giggles as she looked around the street, thankful it was empty because she was turning red by the minute.

In my head, I see you all over me
In my head, you fu' fill my fantasy
In my head, you'll be screamin' ooooh

"I doubt it." She smirked, tilting her head.

He moved backwards, smirking and spun, trying to keep his balance as she laughed, shaking her head. This was too much fun.

In my head, it's goin' down
In my head, it's goin' down
In my head,

Break it down
whoahh whoahh ooohhhh
sing it to me baby in my head right now
whoahh whoahh ooohhhh
She'll be screamin' out when it all goes down

He walked towards her pointing and danced around, jumping side to side, grinning.

Just leave with me now
Say the word and we'll go (we can go)
I'll be your teacher; I'll show you the ropes (you the ropes)
You'll see a side of love you've never known (never known)

He took her hands, tugging her and pulled her up the street, spinning her around into his arms as she shrieked, laughing. He stroked her cheek with his knuckles as she blushed, staring up at him. Kissing her cheek, he pulled her further up the street,

I can see it goin' down, we're goin' down
In my head, I see you all over me
In my head, you fufill my fantasy
In my head, you'll be screamin' ooooh

In my head, it's goin' down
In my head, it's goin' down
In my head, I see you all over me
In my head, you fu' fill my fantasy

He jumped on the fountain, keeping his balance as she grinned, tilting her head and watched him in admiration. A different side. He jumped down, running over to her and lifted her into his arms, spinning her around as she laughed.

In my head, you'll be screamin' out
In my head, it's goin' down
In my head, it's goin' down
In my head

"I uh," She looked behind them, going wide-eyed and grinned, "I think we need to run, come on!"She grabbed his hand, pulling him.
"Oh, paparazzi! I got a shortcut, come on!"He took her hand, pulling her down an alley as he ran with her and got into the nearest cab.
"Oh god," She burst out laughing as the cab pulled off, "I think you're the best fun I've had in a while Damon Salvatore."

"Damon, thank you for tonight," She laughed, walking up to the door, "It's been so fun and eventful."
"It has been great fun," He took her hands, pulling her against him with a smile, "Which brings me back to what I was going to do before we were so rudely interrupted."

He leaned closer as she smirked up at him, hiding her nerves and the butterflies rimming around her stomach.

"Well," She whispered, "I hope you're a better kisser then you are a dancer."

Grinning, he moved his hands up to cup her face as her eyes fluttered close at the contact. Leaning closer, he pressed his lips against hers as she placed her hands on his wrists, pulling him closer. After what seemed like hours, he pulled back with a smile and tapped her nose.

"Goodnight Elena."

Nodding at her, he turned around, moving down the steps as she watched him, a grin on her face as she held back a scream of excitement and moved inside, closing the door behind her as she pressed her back to it in a daze. Looking over, she seen Caroline standing there, her arms crossed and a smile on her face.

"Soooo, how was it?"
"It was a normal...kind of thing. Goodnight Care." Elena nodded at her, hurrying up to her room as she closed the door, smiling big.

A night full of surprises. Damon singing to her and dancing like a lunatic. It was more perfect than she could have imagined. What was the catch?

A/N: Hey everyone, hope you enjoyed :)
