CHAPTER 4
It was a rainy Monday morning when she got up and got a phone call from her Dad. John asked if she was okay if Katherine could stay for a week in her apartement, she was going to looking for a job in New York. And because Elena liked her she agreed.
She still couldn't believe that Damon text her for a dinner tonight. It just impossible, right? But she remembered about what Bonnie said couple of nights ago, that anything is possible. So she replied "Sure, I'll text you my address later". She already called Bonnie about the text and she said she will come by after work to help her choosing outfits for dinner tonight. Oh she felt like a school girl again. Her heart was skipping a beat, and the butterflies in her stomach flying around everytime she thinks about Damon. Damon. Just say his name made her someone rang her apartement bell she snapped out of her thoughts and went to open the door.
"You wouldn't believe what just happened to me!" Caroline squeled and had both of her hands on Elena's shoulders.
"I do know things but I surely don't know what just happened to you unless you let me go, sit down and tell me" She brought Caroline to her couch and pouring a hot sweet tea for her.
"Okay, Stefan just text me he like me and he want to go to another date with me! This weekend he'll bring me to picnic in Central Park and we go to Movies!" She said in joy and smiling wide.
"I am happy for you, Care. But you're not park date type of girl. Are you sure?"
"I know Lena, but it's Stefan and I can't deny that I like him too" Caroline blushed as she say it.
"Well, okay then, I'll help you get ready for this weekend if you help me tonight" She said carefully.
"What's happen tonight?"
"Damon texted me. He wanted to have dinner with me. I'm so nerveous, I've never felt like this when I was with Matt"
"OH MY GOD! Of course I'll help you, Lena. Should we tell Bonnie?"
"Bonnie knew, I didn't wanna bother you last night"
"When it comes to a man that you like asking you dinner, you are so allowed to bother me" Caroline cheery voice made her laugh and they spent the morning talking about Salvatores brothers.
It was already 9 p.m and he had meeting with his father in an hour but he just couldn't get up. He just received text from Elena saying she agreed to have dinner with him.
"Hey don't you have meeting with Father?" Stefan entered his room and sit on the bed, "Damon, you alright? You look like a vampire, you're so pale"
"She said yes, she will have dinner with me tonight" Damon said flatly.
"Really? You're welcome then. So what's the problem?"
"I have never felt this nerveous in my entire existance before"
"Uh...you're exaggerrating, brother"
"No, I'm painfully serious and it all because of you"
"I thought that was what you wanted. Meet her again and reconnect whatever you guys had before"
"Well, yeah. But I'm not aware of feeling this way" Damon groaned as he got up and went to the bathroom leaving Stefan thinking why his brother acted that way. Could he be fallen in love with Elena?
"Don't you guys think it's too much?" Elena said as she look at her reflection at her mirror.
She was spending all afternoon with Caroline shopping for her dinner with Damon tonight. Bonnie supposed to be coming with them but she had an important presentation to do so it was just her and Caroline. They went to Macy's at first but no dress fit her. There was a new store called "Fate" and they entered it. Turned out Fate has everything Elena needed and she liked it. She chose a blue ocean strapless dress, it's simple but looked so elegant. Caroline brought her a charm bracelet with tiny little butterflies. She decided to wear her black high heels which she bought a month ago, and used her black purse. Then she curled her hair, tied it and make it like messy bun.
"No, you look outstanding" Caroline smile at her.
"I bet Damon can't keep his eyes of off you tonight" She winked and went to open the door and reaveled Damon with grey John Varvatos shirt and leather jacket, black jeans and boots. He look so hot, Caroline thought. She let him in and told her to wait for her in the living room.
Damon walked back and forth as he and Stefan chose his outfits for dinner tonight. He never felt this way before. When he was with Andie, Mona, and Amy he always chose to be casual and never sweating like this.
"You need to calm down, brother. It's not like you go to dinner with The First Lady or " Stefan said as he laid down his brother leather jacket on bed.
"And it's not something you can mock about" He replied as he wore the leather jacket.
"Alright, you ready to go now, Damon. Be home at midnight, okay?" Stefan shouted as Damon open the penthouse door.
"Yes, Mother" He left then hop in his blue Camaro. He let out a sigh, turn on the car and drove to the adress Elena sent him earlier.
"Damon, you okay?" Elena asked him.
Good God he look so damn hot, please don't let him hear my hearbeat, Elena thought as she walked towards him.
"Yeah, I'm great. You look amazing" He smiled to her.
"You not so bad yourself" She said then they waved to Bonnie and Caroline.
"So where are we going?" Elena asked as Damon hop in the car.
"That's for me to know and for you to dot dot dot" He smirked and Elena felt those butterflies flying around in her stomach, again.
They drove in silence, but when they got to the abandoned house not too far from the city Damon got out and opened Elena's car door.
"Where are we?" Elena asked.
"Don't worry I'm not a serial killer or something", he smirked, "Do you trust me?"
"Yeah" Surprisingly, without even thinking she was trust him.
"Let's go, then" He took her hand and again, Elena felt the butterlies flying.
Damon took her inside of the house, the house itself had Victorian style and one story. Inside was dark, but she gasped when she saw candles everywhere. Damon took her to a room that looked like a dining room. There was a table and 2 chairs. There was wine on the table and a red rose.
"That rose is for you " Damon said as he took the rose and gave it to her.
"Thanks, Damon" she sniffed and she was sure the rose still fresh. Damon asked her to sit and he excused himself to the kitchen.
About 15 minutes later he came out bring 2 plates, and bowls and 2 glasses.
"What is this?"
"This, Elena, is my homemade chicken parmesan with extra cheese and chicken soup as the starter. And I prepared a tiramisu in the kitchen"
" We're eating 3 courses now?" She chuckled as Damon fill her bowl with chicken soup."So what is this place?"
"Abandoned house. No one ever come here when the last owner moved 3 years ago"
"And we're having dinner here? Is this even legal?"
"Technicaly no, but don't worry. No one knows. So let's dig in"
Damon could actually cook. His soup, chicken parmesan, and tiramisu were to die for. They eating as they told each other stories about their childhood.
"My mother died when I was 12 and Stefan was 8. Since that day, our Father never came out of his room except for breakfast, dinner, and working. So basicly, I was the one who raised Stefan, I taught him to drive, to cook, to catch girls attention. Everything. But one day our Father said to me that someday I'll be working in his office, I didn't even know what he was doing in his office. But 7 years ago I learned that he own that newspaper company, NY Daily. I, personally wanted to be a chef but I couldn't let my Father down, now could I?" He gave her a weak smile and continue eating his tiramisu.
"I'm so sorry for your mother Damon...wait, your Father own NY Daily?" Elena eyes were wide.
"Yeah, well starting Wednesday I'll be the one who running it. Why?"
"Nothing, I love that newspaper"
"Really? All I can read in that was crap and lies" He got up and wash the dishes as Elena drowned in her thoughts.
Damon is Giuseppe son? So he is Damon Salvatore who always he talked about? Oh my God, what I got myself into?, she screaming inside her head.
"Elena, you alright?" Damon sounded worry. He was surprised when he looked at pale and sweaty Elena.
"Yes...I'm fine. Can we go now?" She got up and started walking to the door. Damon followed her behind. They drove in silence. When Damon asked her what was wrong, she just said nothing.
When they got to her apartement, it was 11 p.m. Bonnie and Caroline have gone home and left Elena keys under the doormat.
"So thank you for tonight, Damon. No one ever treated me like you did" Elena smiled to him.
"I had a great time too, so thanks, Elena" He gave her his sexy smile, "but you haven't answered my question the other day, whay did you leave me?"
"I...uh, that was my first one night stand with stranger. And it felt wrong so I couldn't stay" Elena answered.
"Do you still think it was wrong?"
"I don't know"
Damon moved closer to her, and when his lips were just an inch to her, she back out. She remembered what he said, "But 7 years ago I learned that he own that newspaper company, NY Daily" No, she want nothing to do with any Salvatores anymore. So she said goodnight and left him alone in the dark.
