PART 7

"Stefan was right, our second date was ah-may-zing!" Caroline squeled as she entered Bonnie's living room with her phone in her right hand.

Elena came to Bonnie's apartement earlier this noon since she got no muse for her novel and Katherine was out since morning. She called Caroline 5 hours ago, and well, Caroline was being Caroline, she was always late. But she couldn't blame her, her second date with Stefan was everything she could talk about for the whole week.

"Really? What did he do?" Bonnie asked.

"Well, we just sat on a blanket in the park, talking, laughing, and he made turkey sandwich for lunch. He can cook by the way. Oh oh! He brought me chocolates too! He was so romantic" Caroline explained with huge smile on her face.

"We are really happy for you Care" Elena put her arms around Caroline's shoulders and smile to Bonnie. "So, Damon asked me for second date last night, and I said yes. So tonight would be our second date"

"I thought you were done with the Salvatores" Bonnie said.

"Yes, but I decided to give him a second chance. Everybody deserves second chance Bon"

"And if he blew this up, you would say 'everybody deserves third chance' and goes on and on and on"

"I would not say that"

"Yes, you would. You were always do that to Matt" Caroline piped up.

"And Damon is different with Matt, so I will not give him another chance if he blew this one up" Elena said with high pitched voice.

"Honey, you are bad liar. And you always use you high voice if you're in denial" Carlone nodded.

"I know". Elena sighed, "But I won't stay away. He is different and I know it"

"Okay, we support you. But if he hurt you, we won't hesitate to hunt him down and rip his heart out" Bonnie smiled.

Katherine walked on the sidelines of the road as she waiting for someone. When she felt someone touched her shoulder, she looked around and smiled.

"Huh, like always, you never come on time" She pouted and kissed him hard on the lips.

"Sorry, love, got things to do" He replied with his british accent, "So what do you need me for?"

"Klaus, you know my step sister, Elena? She's messing with me. I don't like it when people took away my toy from me. I need you to give her warning. But don't hurt her...bad" She said in seductive voice as she run her finger to stroke his face.

"Well well well, if I can do it, which I can obviously do that, what do I get in return?"

"So is that a yes? I take it it's a yes. And you'll get me. For tonight" She took his hand and lead him to the dark alley and savouring his lips like there was no tomorrow.

"Where are you going? A date with Andie? Or maybe Maya?" Stefan asked his big brother as he and Ric talked.

"Oh, please, Andie and Maya were so last year. I'm going on a date with Elena, again" he said simply and grabbed his leather jacket from the couch.

"That Elena that we saw yesterday? Katherine's step sister? What were you thinking?" Alaric asked in disbelieve.

"Relax, Ric. Elena is so different than her sluty step sister. She's caring, selfless and kind. Unlike her monster step sister" He grabbed his key from the table and walk out the door, "Goodnight, boys"

Elena decided to wear her favorite blue jeans and white blouse. She wore her flat shoes and let her hair fell on her shoulder. When she heard a door bell, she calmed herself first, then walked to the door.

"Damon..." She called his name like there was nothing she can say. He was so handsome in his dark jeans, dark blue shirt and leather jacket.

"I'm sorry I'm late, had to stop by to the grocery store first" He smiled and showed her two big paper bags fill with many foods and drinks, "You look beautiful, just like every other day" He said softly.

"Why thank you, you're not so bad" She blushed and let him come inside.

Damon asked for her kitchen then dropped his paper bags on the counter. "So my idea of perfect second date is...drum roll please...homemade cooking and some surprises for- why are you laughing?" He asked with confusion on his face, seeing Elena laughing with her hand on her stomach.

"You're cute! I didn't know you can be so cute and adorable" She took a deep breath but end up let out girly giggles.

"Cute? Adorable? I think you're mistaken. Because words that explains Damon Salvatore are sexy, dangerous, and bad ass" He proudly smiled at her.

"Really? I admit you are sexy, but dangerous and bad ass? All I see is an adorable man in front of me" she teased. He found his way to her waist and tickling her until she fell on the floor.

"Now admit I'm dangerous and bad ass, Missy!"

"No, no freaking way" she said between her giggles.

"Admit, now!" He tickling harder.

"Okay, okay!" She took a deep breath, "You are absolutely dangerous and bad ass, happy now? Look at me, you ruin my outfits and my hair" Elena pouted made Damon grin at her and did the eye thing.

"Increadibly happy, and I like your hair messy and curvy better"

She stood up and reach out to help Damon to get up, "I need my food now, Mr. Salvatore. I'm starving"

"Anything for milady" He winked at her then prepared some ingredients on the counter. Elena sat on one of the stool and watching him cooking. They talked, laughed, teased each other. Elena felt she could really be herself when she was with him.

Damon made her Spinach Potato Frittata with extra cheese, and Budino di Cioccolato a.k.a Chocolate Pudding which her favorite.

"How do you know I like extra cheese and chocolate pudding?" Elena asked curiously.

"You like them? I didn't know that, I just grab whatever I'm gonna cook tonight" He shrugged. Elena felt a little dissapointed, she wanted him to asked Caroline about her favorites, maybe.

Damon fill her plate with the Frittata and it was to die for. Better than his Chicken Parmesan. After that, he gave her his Chocolate Pudding but she ended up eating three of them. Not afraid to be getting fat? Check!, Damon happily thought.

"Oh My God, they were all so delicious. If you open up a restaurant or diner, I assure you I will go there every single day" She said.

"I am thinking about opening up a restaurant, well after I finished running NY Daily" He sighed.

"You seems, I don't know, you hate NY Daily. Why?"

"It's the owner that I hate not the newspaper or the company"

"Your Dad?"

"He gave up after my Mother passed away. We talked not more than three words everyday. Sometime he slap me, hit me, his first target was Stefan but he was just a little boy so I stood in front of him and let him hit me"

Damon's confession made Elena's heart broke in two. How could a Father do that to his son? She undrestood losing someone we love was hard but we were not meant to give up and show his anger to his sons? What kind of father is that? He didn't deserves a chance but Damon gave him.

"I'm sorry to hear that, Damon. No one deserves that" She said as she took his hand in hers. She could feel his hand stiffened then relaxed after a second.

"Thanks, Lena. But that's in past and now I need to show you how bad ass I can be" He smirk and took her hand. He led her to the elevator and hit the basement floor.

"What are we doing here?"

"Wait a second, I need to go make some calls"

He left to the corner. They were standing in her apartement backyard where the swimming pools and some booths empty, just some lights from the garden lights. He was back and took both of her hands in his.

"Look at to the skies" He whispered as she lifted her head up.

A bunch of fireworks! She loved fireworks. Purple, red, green, pink, yellow fireworks blend into one. She hold her breath while watching it, Damon looked at her, big smile on his face. Magical second date? Check! He thought. After ten minutes of fireworks, Elena looked up to Damon.

"No one ever do that to me. Cooked me my favorite foods, a fireworks show. Thank you Damon" She hug him tightly, afraid to let him go. He wrapped his arms around her waist and breath deeply for her scent, rose and vanilla smelled good on her, "Wait, you worked someone to putting up the fireworks, we should thank them"

"No, Elena. My gratitude is by paying him with money. See, I can be bad ass, right? He teased.

"Whatever" She smirked. She was damon pull out his iPod and gave it to her.

"You give me you iPod?" She asked a little unsure.

"Yes, now pick your favorite song so we can dance under the moonlight" He said softly.

"Okay then" She tapped her finger up and down looking for the right song. Damon eyes widened at her choice.

"Adam Lambert? Really?"

"What? He may be gay but he's so hot"

Damon just smile and shook his head before take her hand in his and move his hips. If I Had You singing in the background as they danced around the garden with laughter. At the end of the song, Damon slowly wrapped his hands around her tiny waist and pull her close. Elena could feel the warm and security in his embrace, she didn't want to let go but she knew she has to. Damon felt the same way about Elena's hands wrapped around his back, he didn't want to let go but he has to.

So, Damon herlet go and looked straight to her doe eyes, "There's one more thing" He walked to the back of one of the booths and gave her roses, "Pink means appreciation, yellow means friendship, white means you are heavenly, as in you look so heavenly tonight" he smirked and she rolled her eyes.

"Thank you, Damon. They're pretty"

"Not as pretty as you are" He singsonged.

"Yeah yeah, have someone tell you that you're good with words?" She teased.

"Every girls said that before" He teased back.

Then they back to her apartement. Damon grabbed his leather jacket and stopped at the door.

"Thank you for tonight, Damon. You failed to make me regret the second date with you"

"That's what I do, wrapped up dates and never dissapointed them after."

She then tip-toed and look into his mesmerizing blue eyes and smiled. He smiled back and she kissed him. It wasn't full-of-lust kiss, it was thank-you-for-tonight-you-were-so-sweet kiss, she could feel fireworks and butterflies flying in her stomach. She pulled away and kissed his cheek.

"Goodnight Damon" she closed the door leaving euphoric Damon hummed the chorus of You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift.

The next day, Elena woke up to the sound of someone banging on her door. She lazily got up and went to open it with her messy hair and her PJ, which just white tank top and boy shorts.

"Kat? Where were you?" She surprised when she found her step sister, half drunk smile shyly at her.

"Oh you know, meeting some friends, drinks, ended up in bed" She said as she entered the living room and sank down to the couch.

"Yeah, I get it. But what will John say about it? He trust me to keep an eye on you while you looking for a job"

"Oh, shut up. Like you have one. Now take me to my bedroom, I'm tired" Elena pretty shocked listened about what she was actually think of her, but she thought of it as drunk talk so she didn't take it personally. So, she decided to carry her to her bedroom, took off her shoes and jacket, then lay her on bed. She put two pills of Aspirin and a glass of water on her nightstand then left the room.

She turn on her computer, sighed and hope for a muse. These days she's been lack for muse. She spent her day brooding over Damon. If I wanna make it in this town, I gotta stop brooding and typing some good words into this damn novel, she thought as she poured herself a cup of coffee and start writing.

Damon was walking down the stairs when he heard woman voice that her recognize in the kitchen. So, he walked to the kitchen to find Stefan, Ric and Andie talking with a cup of coffee in their hands.

"Damon, Baby! I missed you so much, a month definately feel like a year" Andie greeted him with kiss on his lips which he found kinda flat. Flat? Andie was the hottest girl that's ever been with me. There's gotta be something wrong with my head, he thought.

"You're so exaggerating, Andie" He grabbed a cup then filled it with coffee.

"So, Damon, how was your date?" Stefan asked, obviously in purpose because Andie's in the room.

"Date? What's date?" She asked a little shocked.

"Well, when two people attracted to each other and they go on dinner or lunch together, that's called date" He answered with a smirk.

"Yeah, I'm aware of that" she rolled her eyes, "But with who? I'm your girlfriend"

"With a girl, a very special girl"

"But, Damon...We're in relationship and you were on a date with another girl"

"I thought you knew, when I'm with you, I also had two other girls. Amy and Maya. Well, I passed with Amy, I broke it off with her like a week ago"

"What?! How could you? I love you, Damon" She started to sob and whimper.

"You love-well, I don't. And about the relationship, we never had one. We were just friends...with benefits" He smirked, "But if you still think of it as relationship, then I break up with you, we're done, Andie. Now, you know the door" He left the three of them in kitchen with different expression on their faces. Stefan, shocked but then he tapped on Andie shoulder as she cried hard. Alaric's face went "What the hell just happened?", and Andie, well, Andie cried out loud for over half an hour then left the penthouse with big puffy red eyes.
