''Are you free to leave now?''
What? I didn't agree to that. I opened my mouth to say no but Caroline, a perky little blonde who is also one of the waitresses here at the grill, came over and said:
''Elena! Oh my Gosh, you will never guess what happened last night.''
''Care, I'm with a customer. ''
I scolded but she grabbed my hand waving good-bye to the man in black whose name I still do not know! When we arrived in the back of the grill she said:
''You know Jeremy girl-friend Ana right? Anyways, she had this really cute top on and I was super jealous then I realized it was your top! The one you wore all the time last year? How does she have that top?''
''Care, I gave her that top because I don't wear it anymore. ''
I said with a sigh. Caroline is one of my best-friends but she can be quite a handful. She gasped and said:
''Why didn't you give it to me? I'm your best-friend!''
Oh God. I smiled and said:
''Care, would you really of taken a hand-me down? Miss Caroline Forbes wearing a hand-me down? I'm laughing just thinking about it.''
She laughed with me and shooed me away so that she could put her work clothing. I ran my hand through my hair, took off my apron and went back in front. Where had been sitting that beautiful man was a 20 dollar bill and a note. Did he leave?
The note read: Dear Elena, my car is in the parking lot. I'm still waiting for that tour.
It wasn't signed. Of course. He is so typical, all mysterious and shit. I sighed and went outside to find him leaning on a blue vintage car, very much him. He smirked as if me being there was to be expected.
''Can I know what your name is now?''
I asked, my hands on my hips. He laughed and gave me his hand.
''I'm Damon Salvatore, nice to meet you Elena...''
I smiled and gave him my hand.
''Gilbert. Elena Gilbert.''
He smiled and opened the passenger door of his car. I took a deep breath and sat in the vehicle. I'm so going to regret this. As he buckled his seat-belt, I asked:
''Since you haven't been in Mystic Falls for a while, where have you been?''
''Well, I've been around. New York, Chicago, Italy, France, England, Montreal, New Orleans… pretty much everywhere. Have you ever left Mystic Falls?''
He asked as he pulled out of the parking lot onto the street. I sighed.
''No. I've been a waitress at the Grill for 7 years so there wasn't any time or money to travel.''
I explained as I looked out the window. He turned to the right and said:
''Well, you should get out of here. Traveling, being free on the road… nothing can beat that. Maybe just a good bottle of bourbon or a good roll in the sack but you get the point. Staying at one place for too long is never good.''
''What's wrong with routine?''
I asked, not admitting defeat. He smirked and looked over at me.
''Routine is boring. Adventure, fun, a little danger… that's what is good for the spirit and you must look great with the wind blowing in your hair.''
He laughed and I rolled my eyes.
''Well, this is the middle of Mystic Falls. We have a library, a few restaurants and a movie theatre. Other than that, it's just houses all over the place and woods.''
I said and frowned. Maybe Mystic Falls wasn't the best place to stay at forever. I should get out of here and discover things. Mom had been planning a vacation to England before she and dad died in that crash.
''Where did you just go Elena?''
''Sorry, it was nothing. I was just thinking you might be right. Mystic Falls is… ordinary but the people here are very precious to me.''
I said and he nodded.
''Have you ever seen the Salvatore Boarding house?''
He asked as he turned left at a stop sign. I looked at him and stated the obvious.
''Nope.''
He just smirked and we arrived in front of a beautiful house or should I say mansion? It was huge and magnificent and… old. Really old and historical. Which meant mysterious which reflected Damon quite well.
''It's amazing.''
''Little too kitschy for my taste.''
He said and parked his car. I smiled and got out of the car. It is beautiful here, I wonder how old this place is. We went in and some man popped out with… a blood bag in his hands. What the hell? I backed away and Damon cursed:
''Damn it Stephan!''
I walked away slowly but noticed how Stephan, is that his name, had veins and fangs and… I screamed before running out. What the hell was this place?!
Thank you for reading guys and I hope you review! Have a nice day and smile, the world is just waiting to be discovered!
