The next morning I awoke to find Elena still soundly asleep on my chest with my arms wrapped around her, I checked the clock, it was still early. I was still sure that this was a dream so I wriggled my arm free, closed my eyes and pinched myself, childish I know but it worked. I opened my eyes to see that she was still there only this time she was awake and looking at me eyebrow raised.
'What are you doing?' she giggled.
'I had to make sure that I wasn't dreaming' I replied and shrugged and she laughed again, god I loved her laugh the sound was like music to my ears and seeing as none of us had had anything to laugh about recently I was nice to hear it and to have her finally happy and it was even better that it was me that was making her happy eventhough for a long time I had had to keep my want and lust for her under control because she was with my brother but not anymore.
Elena got up out of bed, much to my disappointment, and stretched giving me the chance to see every bit of her for the first time properly. Curves and dips in all the right places. She turned around just at the right moment to see me looking at her and smiled teasingly.
'Like what you see ?' she purred.
'Very much so' I nodded and pulled her down, she screamed playfully and I stopped her by planting a kiss on her perfect lips.
'Come on Damon' she said in between 'time to go and face the music'
'Oh the joys of being judged by people I don't even care about' I said sarcastically. 'I can't wait' I added as I climbed out of bed.
We got to the school and as I had predicted to her on the way there Caroline and Matt were at the gates ready to demand answers well Caroline was, Matt looked as if he would rather be anywhere but there with her. This morning's good mood was most defiantly gone, brilliant.
'Elena Gilbert would you care to tell me what the hell is going on' Caroline demanded and Elena took my hand in hers, I looked down and then back at the two of them.
'I don't know Caroline, why don't you tell me' she answered smiling.
'Are you crazy? Stefan is the one you love Elena not this pig' ouch low blow blondie 'What are you thinking?'
'Me and Stefan are in the past now, yes I may have loved him once but not anymore. Damon is the one I'm meant to be with and you are just going to have to accept that'
'Just leave it Car' Matt piped up, she let out an angry sigh and turned on her heel and walked away with matt following her close behind. Elena turned to me and smiled,
'See it wasn't that bad' she said and we laughed.
'To be honest love I think a stake to the heart would have hurt less than that' I answered when we had stopped.
'Aw don't say that, if you were dead I wouldn't be able to do this' and she ran her fingers down my cheek, sending a spark of familiar fire through my veins and then a goodbye kiss so tender and passionate that I didn't want it to end but Elena had classes to go to. I had tried to convince her to stay away from the education side of things but she said she wanted to get it out of the way now. Personally I had had enough of schooling when I was human so I left the school grounds and took the long way home.
I never noticed the hunger with Elena, despite my denial she did in fact make me feel more human eventhough we both weren't but she was gone now and my fangs were on edge.
Elena had said that she didn't mind me feeding from humans so long as I didn't over do it or kill anyone and so far I was sticking to my promises like a good boyfriend should.
My target was a senior girl, probably a cheerleader. She was the right build for one, she was pretty, red hair and freckles that covered her face. I made my way over to her, I would only take a little, enough to satisfy my hunger for a day or two.
