I was a little surprised when Elena ran out of the room, when moments ago she was asking to go out but I suppose it was to be expected from a newly made vampire. I took my leave, knowing that if anything were to happen, Bree could take care of it.

I on the other hand had some shopping to do, not one of my favorite past times but this wasn't for me. So I set off into Atlanta, again not one of my favorite places, to get a bed and some clothing for Elena.

The mere thought of newly turned vampire had my undead heart racing, something I hadn't felt, ever. I knew I had loved Lexi, she was my better half but it seemed that no matter how hard I tried the girl known as Elena Gilbert began fitting the bill more and more.

She was caring, always willing to put others needs and comforts before her own. She had an amazing smile that could light up the midnight sky and put the moon to shame.

Looks wise, she was the complete opposite of Lexi, with her chocolate hair and mocha eyes that stirred something in me.

I allowed myself time to admire her and think on the feelings I was having towards her while not in her presence. I didn't dare think the way I was, near her or else thoughts may turn into actions and that wasn't something she or I were ready for.

So lost in thought I didn't notice that I had arrived at my destination or that I was now standing in the woman's department, specifically the undergarments area.

"May I help you?" A feminine voice asked hesitantly.

That was just the thing I needed to relieve me from my inner turmoil.

"Uh yeah, I need a little bit of everything." I replied nervously.

I had never done anything like this before and admitting out loud that I was shopping for woman's underwear and bras was putting me out of my comfort zone.

The saleswoman gave me a brief, disbelieving look, "Do you happen to know what size?"

I wracked my brain trying to remember the size that I had glanced at while washing her undergarments.

"Umm…I think it's a 34B bra and size 4 underwear." You would think after my many years alive that this moment would be less embarrassing but it truly wasn't.

The woman nodded, "Any specific style or color?"

If there were a rock in the room, I would've hidden under it.

"Boy shorts and either black or red." I rushed out, keeping my answers short and simple.

"Very well, I'll gather some up and see if they're to your liking." She said before disappearing into the many racks of underthings.

I released a breath I didn't know that I had been holding. Maybe I should've waited for Elena to do this herself.

No, I told her that she could rely on me and I was proving that.

If my comfort was the price I had to pay then so be it.

All too soon the woman came back with an assortment of garments, none of which looked obscenely sexy so I quickly bought them all and left the store with a sigh of relief.

Next I stopped at the furniture store and ordered a double mattress. Giving them the address and payment I was on to the next store.

I decided that I was only going to pick up a few things, just so she didn't have to keep wearing the same clothes or mine.

Though, she does look good in your shirts.

Nope wasn't going there, though my mind seemed to want to head in that direction more and more. The thought of her in nothing but my shirt this morning or having her cuddled with me in bed, floated teasingly through my mind.

I wanted her of that much I was sure but was I ready, was she?

From what I had heard, she was dating that Salvatore brother that Lexi was so fond of. Would she give that up?

Would I even ask her to?

I groaned in frustration and hurriedly grabbed a few pairs of jean and a couple of simple shirts, hoping she didn't mind wearing plain clothing because I wasn't much of a shopper.

"Bree, how do I, what…gah…how do I handle things with Lee?" Elena asked, not really sure how to deal with the whole situation.

She had only been a vampire for a total of one day and already things were more confusing than when she was human. Sure when Stefan had come into her life, it had been prepping her but this was all too much. And that was another thing she hadn't considered, technically she was still dating Stefan. How could she have just forgotten all of that? Well that in truth was an easy question, he had lied to her, compelled her to forget things that she shouldn't have. Damon too had compelled her to forget that she had met him first, that she had felt some attraction to the mysterious stranger with promises of a wild and unpredictable life. But that no longer held and baring now that she was a vampire. The attraction to both Damon and Stefan had vanished when she laid eyes on Lee. All the thoughts weighed heavily on her fragile emotional state.

Her stupid emotions were through the roof, she was starving 90 percent of the time and because she was so emotional it made the hunger worse.

"Well, do you know how to be friends with a guy?" Bree asked handing Elena a blood bag.

Elena frowned, she knew Bree was trying to help but she sensed a tad of teasing in her voice.

"Yes but it's different with him." Elena snapped.

She ran her fingers through her hair with a sigh, "I'm sorry Bree it's just that this whole mess has me on edge."

The witch nodded knowingly, "I'm sorry I was picking on you, I should know better."

Elena smiled before biting into the thick plastic bag and released a contented sigh. The blood bags helped curb the hunger slightly but it wasn't the same as feeding of a human.

An idea struck, "Do you think Lee has any liquor here?" Elena asked hoping he did so she didn't want to eat Bree so badly.

The witch got up from the bed, heading back into the kitchen. Soon she returned with a bottle of Jack and a single glass.

"I don't think I'm going to need the glass." Elena told Bree seriously.

She just smiled, "Who said the tumbler was for you?"

Elena cracked a smile, "Well then, we better get to our daytime drinking."

The new vampire carefully poured her friend a very full glass then sat, facing Bree.

Holding the bottle up Elena announced, "To alcoholism." She giggled as they clanked glass and downed the contents.

Bree quickly emptied her glass and got a refill.

Soon they were both laying on the bed laughing like neither had done in a long time.

The drunken words of professed loved began shortly after the first bottle had been finished and the second started.

"You know Bree this is the most fun I've ever had and you're the best friend I've ever had. I love you." Elena said, meaning every word.

Bree rolled over to face the baby vampire, "I know exactly what you mean, I love you too Elena."

Elena grabbed Bree in a hug, no longer feeling the deep, unquenched, hunger that she had before.

And that was how Lee found them, cuddled up on the bed, sleeping.

All that he could think was, what did I miss?

A/N. so this chapter had been giving me some trouble, hence the reason it hasn't been update in a while. But I hope it turned out somewhat decent. As always R&R please and I hope you enjoyed.
