Chapter 13
DPOV
I grinned as I walked outside. She's using the pool, just like I hoped. Opening up the back door music is blasting and I realize it is Maroon's 5 new hit song Love Somebody.
Bryan was laughing in the arms of Elena as she was walking out of the pool with him held tightly in her arms. She was smiling down at him with a gleam in her eye. It made me smile seeing Bryan and Elena getting along so well.
Elena looked up at that moment and our locked. She was beautiful and I wasn't ashamed that my eyes started to roam over her body. A very fitting black bikini was covering her in all the right places, or wrong depending on how you are looking at it. Her flat, smooth, yet toned stomach made my stomach clench and her long tan legs went on for miles and it was hard to swallow. Tension built up inside and I brought my briefcase in front of me hoping she didn't notice my discomfort.
"Hello Damon." Her smile told me she knew all too well what was happening to "little me".
"I see you and Bryan are loving the pool."
"It's a great day and Bryan laughing is always a treat. I thought I'd get him some food and we would go back out in a bit."
"That sounds good."
Elena started walking towards me and Bryan started to play with a strand of her wet hair. Once Elena was in touching distance from me she looked up and with a shy smile and asked, "Would you like to join us for dinner and a little swim?"
I swallowed the thick ball that suddenly formed in my throat and tried to talk. "Sure, huh I'll…I'll just change and come back. Bryan is he huh good here for a bit?"
I ran my hands over my hair messing it up and Elena started to walk back into the house. But before she went in she turned her head and looked at, "Why Mr. Salvatore we will be just fine." A shy smile graced her lips and her voice had a hint of teasing, "Now go upstairs and get ready for me."
She turned back around and I watched her retreating back head towards the kitchen.
