Cleaning

Chapter: 17

Stefan knew she was right. Sure, he made a giant wreck of things but he had to fix it, he loves Alexis. It was hard for him to admit it especially to himself. He admitted to himself now all he has to do is admit it to Alexis and hope against all the odds that are piled against him that she will forgive him and love him back.

Stefan wondered out of the kitchen and found Alexis in the living room watching television, "What was that all about?" She asked turning the television off.

"Yeah but…" Stefan trailed off as an uneasy silence filled the room around them.

"But what Stefan?"

Taking a deep breath and swallowing hard, prolonging time from telling her the truth. "But I love you Alexis, I have since the first time. I'm sorry I left, I made the worst mistake by leaving, please forgive me." Stefan finished leaving Alexis wide eyed and shocked.

Elena put her diary back in the bottom of her bag and laid her head against the cool glass of the window in attempt to get some sleep. She was never ever able to get to sleep so, she continued to lay their and watch the trees and the surrounding lights pass by as Damon drove on.

Hours later Damon decided it would be best to stop at a hotel near the border of Tennessee and Kentucky. "Damon, where are we at?"

"A hotel kitten."

"Why Damon, I need to be home by two Tuesday morning and its already 12:30 Monday morning." Elena wasn't worried about anything else, she just didn't want to be grounded again.

"Don't worry kitten you will be home in time." Elena nodded in response and got out of the car along with Damon.

Damon went to get them a room and nothing usual to Damon, he got a room farthest from the office and the other guest that was possible.

Damon unlocked the door to their room and Elena followed him in. The first thing she wanted to do is take a shower and then get some sleep. She put her bag down on the bed a dug out a clean pair of pajamas. "I'm going to take a quick shower." She announced making her way to the bathroom.

Alexis didn't know what to say, sure, she had some feelings for Stefan but he hurt it when he ran off after kissing her. Saying it was a big mistake and apologizing for it doesn't automatically make it alright. Taking that into consideration and everything else she still felt something for Stefan.

Alexis took a deep breath and said, "I forgive you Stefan and I…" She let out the breath that she was holding. "I love you too."

Stefan closed the gap between them and caught her lips with his.

Elena got out of the shower, changed into her pajamas, and combed her hair. She left her hair laying in layers on her back and walked out to join Damon in the room. "What are you watching?" Elena asked sitting beside him on the only bed that was in the room.

"Some cop show." He answered turning the television off.

He turned to look at Elena, his clear blue eyes sparking that same desire they did before. Elena's heart started to race, a typical reaction around Damon now and not once out of fear. Subconsciously Elena began to lean in and Damon did the same. There lips touched in a sweet kiss filled with love but quickly turned to passion.

Elena was on her back and Damon was balancing his weight on top of her. His hands roamed up her shirt, Elena brought her arms above her head so he could easily take her top off. Damon kissed down her jaw and neck. He continued to kiss down her chest and her stomach till her reached the hem of her pant all the while Elena trying to undo the buttons of Damon's shirt. Damon slid his thumbs into the waist band of her pants bring them down along with her panties. He kissed back up to her mouth. Elena fumbled with the buttons on Damon's shirt but finally got it off.

Elena quickly undid the button of Damon's jeans and pulled them over his enlarged length. He continued to kiss her mouth, jaw, neck, and body.

"D-Damon!" Elena cried out as her back arched and her head came back in pleasure as Damon thrusted into her one last time as he hit his climax a few moment after she did.

Damon gave Elena a passionate kiss and laid on his back bringing Elena close beside him until she dozed off.

A/N: Please Review!

Anyone else can't wait for December?

I hope you liked the Delena scene. I don't think it turned out as good as I hoped. Maybe I am being my own worst critique or maybe not. (Its your choice)

I think the next chapter will be the last unless you tell me differently, that there should be more.

Yea, I know it's short but it had to be updated. Like I said, I can't wait for December.
