~The story goes in a slightly different direction than I originally has planned, but the ending is better than I had planned (for the Delena fans anyway).
~I tried to add a bit of 'Damon humor' into this and other humor
~The chapter takes place two days after the last chapter.
Enjoy!
~2 Days Later~
General POV
The sun was shining in through the bedroom window onto Elena as she slept. She tiredly turned over and noticed that there wasn't anybody next to her. Elena opened her eyes enough to see that Damon was gone. All Elena could do is picture him there, lying next to her, looking into her eyes. Instead, she found a note. Elena only lazily reached over to the note before going into a sitting position to read it.
"Sorry I'm not there to see you wake up. I went into town to get a few things. I'll be back soon. XOXO~Damon."
Elena smiled at the note that Damon had left her before setting it back onto his pillow and getting out of the bed.
Elena stood up from the bed and walked to the window facing towards the beach. She still couldn't believe that Damon had a house that has such a great view. It's better than the view from his bedroom back in Mystic Falls. Elena closed her eyes, taking in a deep breath and letting the sun soak on her from the window. She opened her eyes and walked downstairs to make something for breakfast.
Elena searched the refrigerator and the kitchen cupboards for something to eat. The only things in the refrigerator were a blood bag for Damon, a few cans of soda, and a half gallon of milk. The only things in the freezer were ice cubes and a tub of ice cream. Elena looked through the cupboards and found some cereal. 'I have to tell him to get more food' she thought as she rummaged for a bowl to put the cereal in.
After Elena was done with her cereal, she put the bowl in the sink and went back upstairs to the bedroom. 'I'll work on a tan' Elena thought as she went into the drawer and pulled out her bikini. Elena but it on, grabbed her I-pod and walked downstairs. Before she walked outside, she grabbed a pair of sunglasses and lied onto the beach chair that Damon had put out there the day before. Elena put her sunglasses on, started her I-pod, put the headphones in, and relaxed
Damon walked into the house with 5 bags of food and bags still in his car. He could see Elena on the beach from the front door. He smiled at the thought of her in her bikini. He used his vampire speed to put food in the refrigerator and into the freezer. Damon used his speed to go back to her car and get the remaining things that were in it. Damon was careful not to spill or bump the cooler that he had with blood bags in it. After Damon got done putting everything away, he stood at the door, looking at Elena.
She was everything he's ever wanted. She was sweet, smart, strong, and stubborn. Damon slowly started to walk to Elena. He could hear the music playing through her headphones with his hearing. Damon was careful not to let his shadow go over her, letting her know that he was there. He kneeled down behind Elena and carefully brought his mouth close to her hear.
"Did you miss me?" Damon whispered into her ear. Elena jumped and turned to him.
"Damon!" She slightly yelled. She took one of her headphones out of her ears as Damon moved next to her. "If I knew you were going to be wearing that…" Damon started to say with a smile. Elena smiled back at him. "Then you wouldn't have left." Damon smiled and lightly kissed Elena on the cheek.
"You know me so well." Damon whispered to Elena.
Damon and Elena sat there with the sun shining on them. "Why don't I take you some place?" Damon said to Elena while looking up at the sky. Elena turned her head towards Damon at the same he turned his head towards her. "Some place for the day." Damon let a small smirk appear on his face. "I can take you shopping."
"Why shopping?" Elena asked Damon.
"Because, there is a huge shopping area near here and…"
"You just want an excuse to spend even more time with me, don't you?" Elena asked him. Damon smiled at Elena. "Okay." Elena said.
Damon stood up over Elena and looked down at her. Elena turned off her I-pod and Damon took it from her and slipped it in to his pocket. She looked at him with slight confusion on her face before he picked her up bridal style. Damon kissed her before speeding her up to the bedroom and laying her down on the bed. Elena looked up at him and smiled before kissing him. Damon passionately kissed her on the neck while on top of her. "Damon." Elena said to him as he looked into her face.
"Elena." He said with a smile before kissing her on the lips.
Elena and Damon were lying next to each other staring at the ceiling. Damon turned his head towards Elena and gently rubbed her cheek with his finger. Elena looked at him and smiled.
"Have I ever told you that I love you?" Damon wondered out loud to Elena.
"Well, let me see…" Elena pretended to think about it. "…yes." She said with a smile to Damon. Damon kissed her on the cheek.
Elena turned her attention the bedside table where her phone was. She noticed that it was vibrating. She slowly sat up, keeping the sheet around her, and answered her phone.
"Hello?" She asked.
"Hello love." The voice on the other end said.
"Klaus." Elena said in a whisper and turned her head towards Damon. "What do you want?"
"I want to warn you. I've heard that you're not in Mystic Falls and that you're in danger."
"What do you mean she's in danger?" Damon asked, because he was listening in.
"I've heard that Stefan is upset and that you are enjoying the eldest Salvatore." Klaus said.
"So, what do you want? Elena asked again.
"To protect you. You are the only way I can make more hybrids and if you are in danger, I might not be able to create any more."
"I am protected." Elena said looking at Damon. "Besides, the world doesn't need any more of your hybrids."
"There can never be enough Elena, but I'll give you some advice. Be careful."
"Thanks for the advice Klaus, but I'm pretty good at looking after myself." Elena hung up on Klaus and took a deep breath. "I think I need the shopping trip." Elena said exhaling.
"Let's go." Damon said.
"I can't go like this." Elena said to Damon.
"Why not?" Damon slightly whined with puppy face.
"Because I need clothes on if I'm going to go shopping." Damon gave a fake sad look to Elena.
"Awwwww." He said before laying a kiss onto her arm. "I'll watch you get dressed."
"If you do, then I'll never get dressed." Damon stood up and looked at Elena.
"Then I guess I'll leave you to it." He said with a smile before speeding out of the room. Elena smiled before getting up off the bed, while holding the sheet around her.
Elena has never been so happy. Ever since they met, they have had their ups and downs, but after everything they got through it all. Elena smiled while thinking of Damon before starting to look for clothes to wear.
Damon and Elena walked together after getting out of the car. Elena widened her eyes at the sight of all the different stores and people around.
"Wow." Elena couldn't help but whisper. "This is what you had in mind when you wanted to take me shopping?" Elena asked Damon.
"Well, this is actually the closest shopping area from where the house is. I used to come here to eat." Damon said to Elena. Elena didn't ask if he meant for food or blood. She decided that she didn't want to know.
Damon stood and watched Elena rush into the first store that had clothes.
"Come on Damon." Elena said, looking back at him from the store. Damon smiled and started to walk in the store towards Elena.
On the other side of the shopping court a person stood, watching them. He could see how happy Elena was and how whipped Damon was. This was something he could have foreseen, but it still surprises him a little. He watched them for a little bit longer before walking away with only Elena in his mind.
"How many bags do you have to get Elena?" Damon asked as they sat down on some chairs.
"Well, I am a girl and girls shop." Elena looked at Damon.
"Shopping is only one or two bags,"
"usually." Elena interrupted him.
Damon couldn't help but smirk. "You got five bags and they are all clothes."
"And I'm not done yet." Damon groaned.
"You are going to tire me out." Damon joked. Elena smirked at him.
"You're the one that wanted to take me shopping."
"I know and I'm starting to regret it."
"Hey." Elena playfully hit Damon on the arm. Damon picked up the bags and turned to Elena, who was still sitting down.
"I'll rush these to the car so you can get more." Elena nodded and watched him disappear with his vampire speed. 'Wouldn't anybody notice him?' She thought.
While Elena was waiting for Damon, she decided to take out her phone and IM Caroline and Bonnie.
"So, how's it going?"-Caroline
"Great actually."-Elena
"Is Damon behaving?"-Bonnie
"Well, Damon's being Damon (: He's been joking around and getting my mind off of things."-Elena
"Sounds like you are having a great time. How long do you think it will be before the two of you are tearing your clothes off of each other?"-Caroline
"Caroline!"-Bonnie
"What? I'm curious."-Caroline.
"Sooner than you think."-Elena
"Elena, did you…..?"-Bonnie
"yeah. (:"-Elena
"Now you shouldn't be so cranky now."-Caroline
"Caroline!"-Bonnie
"What? *looks up above* I swear the last one from me was Tyler. "-Caroline
"Sure it was…"-Elena
"It was! He likes to play around with my phone."-Caroline
"That's not the only thing I like to play with."-Caroline
"um….."-Bonnie
"It was Tyler."-Caroline
"That makes more sense."-Elena
After Elena sent the last message, she looked up to see if Damon had come back. She gasped in surprise
"I gotta go." Elena IM'd Bonnie and Caroline before looking back at who was sitting next to her.
"Stefan." She said in a slightly surprised tone.
"Where's my brother?" Stefan asked Elena. "Surely he wouldn't leave his girl all by herself."
"Damon will be right back." Elena said calmly. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm bored and I miss you."
"Well, if you missed me, all you have to do is call." Elena looked behind Stefan to see that Damon was walking up behind him.
"Hello brother." Stefan said without turning around. Damon walked next to Elena.
"Stefan." Damon and Stefan looked at each other. "What are you doing here?"
"Can't your little bro come and visit?"
"If that's why you actually came." Damon said staring at his brother. Elena slowly started to stand up next to Damon.
"You should leave Stefan." Elena said to him. Stefan stood up in front of Damon and Elena.
"I get it." Stefan said before he looked at Elena. Elena swore that she could see a flash of sadness in Stefan's eyes before he sped away. Elena took a deep breath.
"You want to do more shopping?" Damon quietly asked Elena. She slowly shook her head.
"No." She whispered. "I think we should just go back." Elena said to Damon before putting her head against his arm. "I don't feel like shopping much anymore."
"Okay." Damon said to Elena before kissing her on the forehead. Elena grabbed her purse of the table and started walking back to the car with Damon.
Elena sat on the bench that was outside of Damon's house. She looked out and looked at the moon's reflection on the water.
"Here." She heard Damon say from behind her. She turned her head to look at him. "I thought you could use a drink."
"Thanks." Elena said quietly to Damon before taking one of the glasses from him. Damon walked around Elena and sat down next to her on the bench.
"Are you okay?" Damon asked.
"I just thought that after breaking up with him, he wouldn't get to me anymore." Elena took a sip from the glass. "It's just…" Elena took a breath. "I haven't seen him so persistent with me." Damon looked at Elena.
"It's okay Elena." Elena looked at Damon with sadness in her eyes. "As long as I am with you I won't allow my brother to shake you up." Elena smiled as Damon leaned in and kissed her on the forehead.
"I love you." Elena whispered before looking up into Damon's eyes. Damon smiled.
"I love you to." Elena leaned her head on Damon's chest and they sat there, watching the moon together.
~ I didn't originally have Stefan planned into the chapter, but it came out as I was typing.
~ As we all know, Klaus need's Elena's blood to make successful hybrids. So he will make sure that Elena doesn't die if Stefan gets too crazy.
~ I felt sorry for Damon at the end of Thursday's episode, so I couldn't help but have Damon and Elena joke around a bit and have them together at the end of the chapter.
~ I'm considering on starting two other stories, but I don't want to work on too many stories at once. This is one of my stories that I'm considering on bringing to a close in order to start one of my other stories.
~Tell me what you think of this story so far. If you want it to go on or not. ~If you want to know what other stories I'm working on right now, check out my profile.
