Chapter Two

EPOV

I stood there holding Bryan, trying to forget the tingle going through my body. But I just couldn't resist thinking of Damon's electrifying blue eyes, jet black hair, a body of a Greek God, and the way he was looking at me…let's just say that my fantasy went wild for a minute.

I looked around their kitchen and noticed that the fridge was oddly empty. As in no pictures. Nothing. Just a regular clean silver refrigerator. What family doesn't have pictures on the fridge?

I walked to the family room. Everything looking perfect, the three story house practically looking like it came out of those housing magazines. No wonder I'm getting paid $100 tonight, they are filthy rich! I turned to go to the stairs when a magazine catches my eye. I look over at it and see Katherine Pierce in a red bikini. Hair and make-up done to top notch perfection and the fact of her having fair skin doesn't faze the photo. She is pretty in the magazine and in person. Of course he'd go for a model.

I go back to the stairs and search for Bryan's room. I found his room to be the third door on the right. "Okay Bryan let's get you ready for bed." I found his pj's on top of his crib and put them on him, they had Buzz Lightyear all over.

There was a rocking chair by the window and I decided to rock him to sleep. I wasn't sure why, but I was already attached to the little boy. His huge blue eyes looking up at me with so much innocence made me want to be here for him. I sat down in the rocker and looked out the window into the quickly darkening sky. I started to rub Bryan's back and hum a wordless tune. In just a few minutes he was asleep in my arms. I put Bryan in his crib and walked out of the room.

I went downstairs to look for the little sheet of paper with Damon's number on it. My mom always told me to give checkups to the parents to let them know how things are going. I found the paper and tried to slow my rapid heart. The memory of his piercing blue eyes looking at me made my face flush. I quickly typed in his number and sent him a text.

Elena: Hey this is Elena. Bryan is now asleep, everything went smoothly.

Not even two seconds later went when his reply came.

Damon: Thanks for the update. I was getting a bit worried.

I smiled at the fact that even though Bryan wasn't his kid; he really did care for him.

Elena: No problem. Everything is fine.

Damon: And is everything ok with you?

I smiled again at the fact that he was asking if I was okay. Many people over the year have asked if I was fine with the death of my parents, wanting to believe I was okay so they didn't have to worry. But coming from him, it seemed like he actually wanted to know, to help if I needed it. But still I responded with the same answer I give everyone.

Elena: I'm fine. I'll see you guys in two hours. Have fun

Damon: See you ;)

My heart stopped. It was a little thing, but a little thing that could mean a huge thing. The teenager in me wanted to scream out. No Elena think about it. He is married, wellgettingmarried. You can't start crushing on your "boss". Plus think of Steffen. He really likes you, according to Bonnie that is.

I went to the fridge and pulled out a box of pizza. I heated up a few pieces, settled in the couch, and turned the TV on. I needed to keep my mind elsewhere so that I could stop thinking about the blue eyed man.
