Chapter 8-

Aria woke up on that beautiful Saturday morning. She flew out of bed, and did her usual morning routine of showering, brushing teeth and hair, eating, and of course getting dressed, not all in that order though. She decided to wear a black dress with a corset top with deep red details. She also wore some of her fishnet thights under it and finished the look off with not too high high-heel combat boots. She grabbed her silver roasery to accent the dress and a black and silver bag. She walked out of the house with her hair in ringlets and headed towards the Salvatore house in her decked out, all black Honda Accord.

As she drove up to the house, she saw Damon exiting the front door, and resting on a pillar. She parked the car and got out of it.

"What are you doing here?" Damon asked.

"I'm here to talk to you." Aria answered, locking her car doors and walking up the porch to stand face to face with Damon. He seemed to look at her up and down. She'd give anything to know what he was thinking about her specificly planned outfit. His facial expression didn't give anything away.

"Oh really? Why would you want to do a thing like that?" he asked after he had looked at her.

"Because I hear you're ignoring me, and I don't like to be ignored." she said, letting herself into the house.

"No one said you could come in." he said, ignoring her statement.

"Actually," she said, turning to face him, "Stefan said I could come here anytime I want."

"I think," Damon said, taking a step closer to her, "he meant when he was here."

"Oh well." Aria said, her voice almost faltering. She found Damon extremely sexy. He chuckled and turned his head to face something off in the distance, but he didn't back away from her. And then, suddenly, he grabbed her hand, and said, "Follow me." She did as she was told, and followed him into the back of the Salvatore house, hiding with him in a closet.

"Stay here, Aria." he said, getting up. She grabbed his arm.

"No! Tell me what's going on." she demanded.

"Aria, please. I'm begging you, stay here." he pleaded. She let go of his arm and nodded. And then, he did it again. He left at faster-than-humanly-possible speed.
