Disclaimer: I don't own "The Vampire Diaries" or these characters. Unfortunately, I don't own Ian Somerhalder also...

Author's note: Thank you so much for your reviews. You cant even imagine how important they are to me. This would be mostly for Elena's POV, since she will start remember what happened with her and Damon. If you have any suggestions or requests, please let me know. Thanks again.

Bonnie light some candles around the room. She and Elena sat on the bed facing each other with the diary papers between them. They put their hands together and Bonnie took a deep breath.

"I am ready. Are you sure that you want that?"

" Yes" Elena replied "I want to remember everything"

Bonnie took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She started whispering some words and suddenly the pages lifted up and float around. A few seconds later Bonnie opened her eyes and the papers fell down to the bed again.

"Its done" she said "As you will read, you will have flashbacks and all the memories will come back. Do you want me to leave you alone?"

Elena nobbed and Bonnie stood up. "Ok. But If you need anything, call me and I will come here immediately. I will be by your side for this. Ok?". Elena smiled "Thank you, for being such a good friend"

"You have the right to Know" Bonnie said and Elena hugged her. They stayed like that for a few seconds and then Bonnie left closing the door behind her.

Elena, sat on the bed took the Diary pages in her hands and read the first sentence

June 9th 2008

Dear Diary

Today I met the most handsome man alive. Honestly...

She closed her eyes and the memories started flashing through her mind. She could picture it as if it had happened yesterday


Two years ago

She was in a hurry to get to the grocery store when she tripped and her purse fell out of her hands. She sighed in frustrations watching the contents of her purse all over the sidewalk. She bent down and quickly began gathering up when she heard a voice " Dont forget this". She looked up and saw a man holding her keys, smiling at her. He was definitely the most beautiful man she had ever seen and Elena felt her heart missing a beat. Dark hair, blue eyes and a smile that could send someone to heaven. She took her a few seconds to snap out of her daydream and realize that he was looking at him with her mouth open! She got up and took her keys, feeling her cheeks flush slightly with embarrassment.

"Thank you" she whispered.

"Anytime. I am Damon by the way" he said extending his hand for her to shake

"Elena"

He brought her hand to his lips and kissed it, looking deeply in her eyes "Nice meeting you Elena". He smiled and she felt a chill on her back.

He turned around to leave, but stopped when he heard her say

"Are you from here? I mean, from Mystic Falls?" She asked in an attempt to keep the conversation going and instantly she felt ashamed of herself. He turned around slowly and a small smile came to his face

" No. I am just visiting my uncle".

" Oh. So, you wont be staying for long... I guess" Elena said before she could stop the words coming out of her mouth. God what's wrong with me? she thought and almost missed his laugh .

" Well, I am not leaving today" Damon replied raising an eyebrow playfully at her.

"So, maybe I will see you around then. Bye" Elena said quickly, trying to avoid embarrassing herself any further

"What are you doing tonight?" Damon asked and she frowned.

"Tonight? Well... There is a party, to the lake..."

"Ok. I will See you there. Bye now, Elena" he said smiling and walked away.

Elena watched him, until he got into his car and drove away. Her head was spinning. What just happened? Do I have a date with him? She asked herself, but then she decided that this was not the point. What mattered was that she would see him again soon and she almost screamed with happiness.


"Elena" Matt said irately

"What? Sorry I didn't hear you"

"Well yeaa. I can see that. I was telling you that Vicky and Tyler are going to get something to drink. Do you want anything? Elena? Helloooo? " Matt said throwing his hands up angrily at her.

"Sorry Matt. No, I am fine thank you" Elena replied, but she continued looking around for him

"What's wrong? Are you expecting anyone? You seem distracted since we came to the party. Are you looking for someone?". He asked again

"Just a friend" Elena replied without looking at him. Please come, please come she was repeating to herself, when she finally saw him. He was standing alone, away from everyone else, leaning into a tree and staring at her.

"Thank you God" she whispered with a smile and walked to him.

"Hey" she said trying to sound casual, like she wasn't looking for him, since the minute she got to the lake..

"Hey Elena" he replied, taking her hand into his. His touch sent shivers down her spine. Her mouth went dry, and she swallowed, nervously

"Why don't you come over to introduce you to my friends" she said casually

"I'd rather not. Why don't we take a walk instead" he said and a smirk came to his face

"Ok" Elena replied and they started walking side by side, away from the party.

They walked in silence for a few minutes, until Damon spoke "So. Tell me about you"

"Me? What do you want to know?"

"Everything there is to Know. Tell me about your life"

"Well, nothing excited here. Happy family. Mum, dad and a younger brother. I go to high school, I am a cheerleader, Bonnie and Caroline are my best friends. I want to be a writer and I want to travel the world. That's about it. So, now its your turn. Tell me about you Damon"

"Writer huh? Interesting." He said smiling" Well, I have a younger brother too, but I have lost both my parents"

"Oh, I am sorry" Elena said

"Its Ok. It was a long time ago. I am over it. Anyway, I ve been traveling a lot... "

"Do you have a girlfriend?" the words came out, before she had the chance to think about them. What's wrong with me? She thought and almost missed his reply

"No. Not any more"

"Sad story? Broke your heart?"

"You can say that"

"What was her name?"

"Katherine. But enough about her. What about you? Do you have a boyfriend?"

"No" she said and she saw him smiling. He stopped walking and turned around so he could face her.

"So, What are you doing tomorrow?" he asked her

"I don't have any plans" Elena replied raising her eyebrows

"Well. You do now". Damon announced.

"I do huh?" she said playfully

"Yeap. I ll be waiting for you, where we met this morning. Seven sharp. Be there" he said running his fingers lightly up Elena's cheek. She felt her heart beat raising and before she could reply, he walked away and vanished into the woods.

Elena felt so happy she wanted to jump up and down. She run back to her friends and started dancing, feeling more alive than ever.


Present day

Elena covered her face with her hands and took a deep breath. All this time she thought that Damon and her met at the boarding house, not too long ago.

"You must be Elena. I'm Damon, Stefan's brother"

How could she miss it? She should have known. There was something so familiar in his eyes, but... she didn't pay attention. She should though. She felt so deceived. This was too much for her to handle, but the Pandora's box was open. There was no turning back "So sit back and enjoy the ride" she said to herself and moved to next page.


I know that this chapter was kind of flat, but it was just the first time they met, so... Anyway Next chapter: first date, dancing and ... a present. And, please forgive me for any grammar/word mistakes. Thank you so much for reading this
