CHAPTER 5
Weekend came faster than Elena thought, in one hour Katherine would show up on her door. She hasn't called or text Damon, she still confused and needed to think about what was gonna be. If she keep meeting him he'll know about her firing incident and she did not want him to know, but if she's not, she knew she'll be broken heart? Broken heart? Wait...am I falling in love with Damon? Elena thought.
She snapped from her thoughts when she heard her door knocked, she went to open it and extremely surprise who was standing in front of her. It was Katherine. But she was different, her hair longer, curlier, and she highlighted her hair brown. She wore black skinny jeans, red lacy tank top and leather jacket. She used her new Jimmy Choo black bag, and red heels. She looked like...Rose. She was tottaly different since she met her 2 years ago.
"Elena!" She squealed and hug her step sister tightly.
"Kat..can't...breath" Elena tried to breathing after Katherine let her go.
"I'm sorry, I just so excited to live with you for a week" She came inside, left her suitcase outside and sat on her couch. Elena sighed and take her suitcase and closed the door.
"You're early, Kat. I thought you'll be here in another hour" She said as she gave Katherine cold orange juice and sat next to her.
"Well, it's a surprise! And you have a lovely apartement. So where's my room?" Katherine asked.
"Down the hall, I have to call a friend first" She grabbed her phone and watched Katherine go to her room to unpacking. "Bon, do you think you can meet me at The Sinisters after work?"
"Yeah, sure. Something's wrong?" She asked worriedly.
"No, but there is something I want to tell you. Ask Care if she could come too okay? See you later" She hang up and walked down to Katherine's room.
"Hey, do you like the room? I know green is you favorite color so I changed white curtains into green in here"
"I don't like green anymore by the way, but thanks. I'm into red now, red is hot. Rose said I looks really good in red" She smiled as she put her clothes in the drawers.
"Oh, sorry. You told me you like green last time I saw you. So I was wondering if you would come with me and my friends to The Sinisters tonight? It's a bar and now you're old enough to come to one" She helped her put her clothes in to the drawers.
"Yeah, sure I don't mind mingle for a bit. And I have a perfect dress for you to wear it tonight" She showed her a red strapless dress with black belt. Elena felt like it but she knew it's not her style.
"It's great but I have my own, thanks. I let you alone to unpacking" She came out of her room and continued thinking about Damon.
"Wow, The Sinisters is definately a place I would go next time I go to New York!" Katherine squealed as she came inside and left Elena, Bonnie and Caroline alone.
"Do you think that's the Katherine you met 2 years ago?" Caroline whispered.
"I know right? She changed. So much. Now I can't make difference between her and Rose" Elena whispered back.
"I know why, both are slut and bitchy, right?" Bonnie joined them as they sat in one of the booth. Katherine was already talking to a tall blonde guy around the corner. "So, what you wanna tell us?"
"About the date, it was so perfect. He brought me to a abondoned house not far away from the city and he cooked. The food was to die for by the way. But then he started to tell me about his childhood. And I knew now his last name is Salvatore" Elena sighed. Lately, sighed became her favorite activity.
"What?! As in Giuseppe Salvatore?" Caroline's eyes widened.
"He's the son? That he always talked about?" Bonnie's eyes mimicked Caroline's.
"Yes, and I don't want anything to do with the Salvatores, you know. Being fired on my first job was embarassing enough. But I can't avoid him. I wont avoid him"
"Oh sweetie, why does your life have to be so sucks?" Caroline hugged her.
"Tell me about it"
Damon was sitting on the couch when his phone buzz and he looked at the ID, Alaric. Alaric was his best friend from college. They both met and eventually became bestfriends. He picked up his phone.
"Ric, long time no talk. Been busy teaching bunch of lame jocks and cheerleaders?" He smirk when he heard his old friend groan.
"I've missed you too, Damon. So I just wondering since it's almost summer and I got nothing to do in this small town, I can go to your place , right?"
"New York? You're going to New York? Oh, man I'm touched. You missed me too much, didn't you?"
"Whatever you say, I just calling to tell that I'm already in JFK so can you pick me up? I'll buy you drinks when you show me the hottest bar in here"
"Yeah, sure. Can't say no to drinks. Be there in twenty" He hang up and grabbed his Camaro keys from the nightstand.
When he spotted Ric amongst the other passangers he grinned and shake his hand. They talked about the past, the girls, their jobs, but mostly girls.
"I met this Jenna girl about a year ago, turned out Mystic Falls is not too boring, but yeah, it small. Too small" Ric said.
"I don't care about this Mystic Falls town. Tell me about the girl"
"Well, she's teaching too but in the university. She had a blonde hair, nice smile, great personality, how about you? Seeing anyone?" Ric asked as Damon turned off the car engine and got out of his car, Ric followed him entered The Sinister.
"Yeah, there is one girl, Elena. She's different that any girls I've been with before. Two days ago I asked her for dinner and it went fantastic. But I guess she seeing somebody else since she never text or call after dinner" He sat on a bar stool and order bourbon.
"I thought I'd never see the day Damon Salvatore the Great gave up over one girl" he chuckled.
He was about to respond when he saw Elena laughing with her friends. Caroline and...Connie? Ronnie? Bonnie! Yeah. Elena looked so beautiful in her white blouse and dark skinny jeans with her straight hair covering her back.
"Damon? You know I'm just kidding, right? You don't have to take it personally" Then, Ric looked at Elena then back to Damon and back to Elena again, "Is that the girl you've been talking about?"
Damon was still paralyzed by her beauty, the way she laughed, the way she sipped her drink, the way she smile, and the way she tied her hair into messy bun that he adored. So he just nodded and Ric understand. Damon was falling in love with her.
Elena laughed at one of the story Caroline's been telling her for the past five minutes. Bonnie went to the restroom and Katherine was nowhere in sight. But she felt someone watching her, so she turned her head and gasped when she knew he was watching her.
"Earth to Elena" Caroline poked her.
"What?"
"What are you looking at?", then she turned her head, gasped when she see what Elena saw and pointing at him, "That's Damon, right?"
"Yes, now stop pointing!" her serious tone made Caroline looked away.
"What is he doing here?" She whispered to herself. But then Caroline nudged her on the ribs and she saw Damon and his friend came approaching her.
"Hey, do you mind if we join you?" Ric smiled at Caroline. Elena was about to say yes when her dearly bestfriend Caroline said no. Dammit Care!
"So I'm Ric and this is my friend, Damon"
"Yeah I knew Damon, Stefan and I went on dates twice. I'm Caroline and this is my friend, Elena" Caroline said cheerful.
"Nice to meet you ladies. It would be impolite if I don't buy you drinks , right?" Ric grinned as he and Caroline went to the bartender, leaving Elena and Damon alone.
"So, Damon, didn't expect to see you here" Elena tried to break the ice between them.
"So did I"
"Okay, I know you're upset because I didn't text or call you after our date. And I'm sorry"
"At least tell me why. Or maybe you're not ready to tell me now" he said sarcastically.
"I choose the second choice, but I'll tell you when I'm ready"
"Right" he said.
"So, we're good?"
"I don't know, you tell me"
"Damon, cmon. I'm sorry, what else can I do to get you forgiveness? I'd do anything. I can't stand people mad at me, I'll feel really bad"
"Anything? You know that was a dangerous statement, right?" he raised his left eyebrow.
"I know but I really want you to forgive me. And stop the eye thing"
"I request second date, I pick you up, drive you home, a whole nine yards. And what the eye thing?" He smiled innocently.
"Okay, I can do second date. Your eye thing is when you're eyes do something like this" Elena tried to mimicked his movement but she was tottally failed and that made Damon laughed. An actual laugh. Hearing his laugh made her heart feel warm.
"So, I arrange the date, all you do is trying to look pretty"
"Trying to look pretty? Excuse me, so you're saying that now I don't look pretty?" Damon laughed again and that made her laugh too.
Just when Damon wanted to praise her beauty, a voice, cold one, that he recognized calling him.
"Hello, Sex-God Lover" Katherine smirked.
