K POV
I was having the nicest dream… a handsome young man was walking with me down the street… in the mid-1900's… He had black, beautiful hair… he was well built, tall, mysterious… and very much the gentleman… I was having a wonderful time with him.
Then, I saw a light… and the handsome man next to me disappeared… I reached out for him, for where he was….
My eyes shut… and when they opened… I was in a beautiful room… in a very soft bed… and I was alone…
I couldn't remember why or how I could get here… my mind was still hazy with sleep…
It all came back to me slowly. I fell back onto the pillow, one hand on my head, as I took it all back in…
Damon…
I laid there silently for a bit… until I finally sighed and got out from under the sheets. I was still wearing my outfit that Elena had given me yesterday… That's when I realized that I had no other outfit to change into…
I scowled to myself and rose, wondering what I could find in the closet…
I'd expected only male articles of clothing… and I WOULD have made do with just that… but I was shocked when I also found some Aeropostale and Hollister bags in the back of the closet… with women's clothing inside.
I almost growled (I did mentally), what Stefan had said must have been true… He probably had these saved for a rainy day when I girl visited… I didn't care if that was the truth or not, he was going to be short one pair.
I searched through the bags and picked out a Hollister shirt and some pants from Aeropostale and grabbed them before heading into the rather large bathroom. I shut the door to me behind me before stripping, wiping down with a wash cloth, and then changing into my new outfit. I found a brush in one of the drawers in a set that was in the wall and used it to start and fix up my hair… Then I continued to search through the drawers until I found hairspray and a straightener… which I then used to finish fixing my hair.
Once I was done, I brushed my teeth and then headed out of the bathroom.
Damon's room was still vacant of its owner when I came back out… I sighed and headed over to the door, pausing with my hand on the doorknob… After a second of hesitation, I turned it and opened the door.
I headed down the hall slowly and went into the Living Room… Damon was passed out on the couch still. I smiled a bit to myself and headed quickly, yet still silently, out of the Living Room and I began to search for a Kitchen.
It took me a while to find it, but I did. I rummaged through the cabinets and found the supplies I needed for a quick sandwich… I could also eat human food, being part witch, and that's what I was hungry for. I wanted a PB&J.
I got out the peanut butter and some jelly and slopped it down on my two slices of bread before smushing it together and taking a bite. I grinned a bit, I did love peanut butter.
I heard the door to the Kitchen open as I continued to eat my sandwich. I already knew who it was before her spoke.
"Good morning Kristi," Damon greeted.
I turned to face him as I swallowed another bite. "Good morning," I replied with a nod.
Damon took a step closer. "Look, about what I did last night–" he started to say, but I cut him off.
I slapped him, hard, across the cheek, making his head snap. A shocked expression crossed his face.
Before he could react again, though, I pulled his face to mine, kissing him. The kiss was much like our other one; soft, warm and gentle.
I loved it.
Damon wound one arm around my waist as I wound one arm around his neck. He tasted so good.
Finally, I had to pull back, but I was smiling as I did. Damon's eyes were a bit wide, but he looked happy also.
"You're confusing me, Kristi," Damon said, panting a bit. "Did you like my kiss last night or not?"
"Oh, I loved it," I told him, smiling, "but, at the same time, it made my thoughts get all jumbled and confused which made me want to slap you."
Damon cracked a small smile, taking my face in his hands. "Well, I'm sorry for the confusion," he whispered. "I can't do anything to change the past, though I might be able to take your mind off of it…"
His face came down to mine again. The kiss was a little bit rougher this time, but I liked it. Both of my arms were around his neck while Damon's arms slowly snaked down to my waist. I let out a shudder of pleasure.
Damon's kisses slowly started to move like his arms… They went over to my cheek, under my jaw… and over to my neck, which is where they stopped. I didn't know if he was even aware of what he was doing, but I didn't say anything to stop him.
His tongue actually traced over the spot where my largest artery was… I heard his fangs slide out…
D POV
Kissing her felt so good, I loved it. It was different than any other girl I'd kissed… it was gentle, warm… and caring.
I felt the veins growing under my eyes… and I suddenly realized where my lips were… what I'd been about to do…
I cussed (rather loudly) and quickly got away from her.
I stood, panting, against the wall farthest from her. "Why… didn't you… say something?" I snapped between pants.
Kristi looked at me without fear, almost emotionlessly. "My offer still stood from last night. I wouldn't have minded if you had fed," she told my plainly.
I growled. "Yes, but I would have!" I snapped again, my breathing returned to normal.
Kristi smiled and stepped a bit closer. "And WHY is that Damon?" she asked me, batting her eyelashes innocently… It was very adorable.
My breath caught, my thoughts jumbled a bit... It took me a second to answer her, and when I did, it was a whisper.
"Because I like you…" I breathed unthinkingly. She had such a control on me that I couldn't quite understand. Stefan hadn't even been able to coax those three words out of me last night with his logic… and all she had to do was bat her eyelashes.
Kristi stepped even closer, smiling warmly now. She placed one hand on my chest. She brought her head closer to me until I could feel her every breath on my throat. I froze, too stunned to move.
Kristi kissed me at the edge of my jaw. "I like you too," she whispered in my ear.
I'd never been this way around a girl before, even around Elena I could be cool, but she was literally blowing my mind, it was a clean as a slate! I couldn't think of a witty remark or snide comment for the life of me…
She was amazing.
Kristi pulled back and returned to her sandwich. She took another bite of it while I watched her.
She ate slowly, her back to me, as if she was savoring the flavor… or the feeling of my eyes on her…
After she finished, she cleaned up her mess. Then she got a glass of water and took a drink, leaning on a counter across from me.
"So Damon, what would you like to do today?" she asked me, smiling as she took another sip.
I found my cool and took a step closer. "Well, it's a weekday, so most kids that we COULD hang out with (not that I'd want to) are supposed to be at school… I could show you around town if you'd like me to and then, afterwards, we can go hang out at the Grill…"
She smiled again. "Sounds like fun," she told me, pushing off of the counter and dumping the rest of her water down the drain, setting the glass by the sink before walking over to me. She looped her arm through mine. "Where to first?"
I smiled at her. Amazing…
"Well, would you rather walk or take my car?" I asked her as we headed for the door.
"Well… it depends on the car," she told me, beaming.
We headed outside and I took her over to the garage. I opened the large garage door; one side belonged to my brother's car (which was gone) and the other…
Kristi's eyes widened. "You have a Jaguar?" she asked, obviously surprised, yet pleased, at this fact.
I nodded. "Yes… NOW, I shall ask again (though I think I know the answer already)… Would you like to walk or drive?"
"Drive," Kristi answered (practically purring) without hesitation.
I smiled and we headed over to the passenger side. I opened her door for her and she climbed in. Then, I shut her door and headed over to the driver's side before also climbing in.
Kristi buckled and I did too (even though I hardly needed it, I didn't want some cop to ruin our time together). Then, I pushed the button of the car (oh yeah, it's a push-start) and the engine thrummed to life. Kristi sighed happily and I grinned again.
"You like cars?" I asked her.
She nodded. "Yes, I do, and this engine sounds so beautiful…" She leaned closer to me, "But what I like in a car the MOST is speed," she hinted.
Screw the cops.
I floored it out of the garage and soon we were on the road, speeding towards town. Kristi laughed in delight, leaning back in her seat as she watched the world go by through her window…
K POV
The car was a beauty; I loved it, a LOT… Of course, I loved it even more with Damon standing next to me.
"You have a Jaguar?" I asked him, I needed reassurance that this was REAL…
Damon nodded, smiling a bit. "Yes… NOW, I shall ask again, though I think I know the answer already… Would you like to walk or drive?"
I beamed, answering without hesitation, "Drive."
Damon smiled and we walked over to the passenger's door. He opened it for me and I got in, admiring the lovely interior, leather seats… tinted windows… heated seats… lovely radio… even the seat belts…
Then, Damon got in his door and buckled like I had. Then he pushed the button to start the car. I sighed happily at the thrum of the engine; this baby had some speed in her…
"You like cars?" Damon observed. I nodded.
"Yes, I do, and this engine sounds so beautiful –" I leaned over closer to Damon "–but what I like in a car the MOST is speed," I hinted, hoping he'd show me what this baby could really do.
Damon floored it and I laughed in delight as we sped down the road.
We drove until the town came into view. Then Damon sighed and slowed down… I sighed too and Damon chuckled.
"We have to be able to SEE if I am going to give you a tour," he told me, a smile on his face. I scowled at him and he laughed again.
"Okay, so first we have the Lockwood estate… The Lockwood family is one of the founding families and has been around for almost as long as Stefan and I have," he began, glancing between me and the windshield as he spoke.
"Hm… It's very… pretty," I commented. Damon smirked and shook his head before speeding on.
"Then we have some woods," he joked. I rolled my eyes.
"I think this is my favorite part of the tour so far," I said, my voice heavy with sarcasm. Damon laughed.
"Then we have some houses… One of them being Elena's," he continued.
"And here's the library…. There's the police station… town hall… a park…" he continued on. "THAT is the Grill where lots of people hang out. We will be one of those people after the tour…" I smiled at the thought.
"Houses…. Ah, and now the lovely school that my boring brother along with Elena, Bonnie… and some other people are 'learning'," he told me as if he doubted that that was what they were doing.
I doubted it too, I could think of many OTHER things you could do at school besides learn.
"Then, if you head out farther, there are some more woods…" Damon finished, flashing a grin at me. "It's a small town… and now that our lovely tour is over I'd love to hear what you think of it," he practically purred.
I beamed, leaning a bit closer to him as we stopped at a stoplight. "It's lovely," I purred, breathing in his face. "I wish to live here."
Damon's expression went blank for just a second before he composed himself. "Your wish, my command," he told me, taking one of my hands and bringing it to his lips, kissing the back of it.
"Now, how about a tour of the Grill?" I asked him, leaning back into my seat.
"Yes malady," Damon answered, applying gas to the car and we sped back into town.
