It took Elena awhile but she finally got Damon to a hotel room. After explaining to the worried faces of the hotel workers, Elena told them that he was just really drunk. Luckily for her they believed her.

Damon laid in the bed too tired to move, but he was watching Elena move around with his eyes barely open. He watched as she gently pulled at his shoe strings and then he heard them fall to the floor. Elena climbed onto the bed with him, and she sat on her knee's watching him with worried eyes. It reminded Damon of when he was laying on his bed dying from the wolf bite. She never stopped to amaze him that she always would care about him. Sure they had their fights but they got over it and became friends again.

"I'm sorry." Damon said hoarsely.

"What? Why?" Elena asked confused.

"This was supposed to be a fun trip." He said looking at her, his face filled with sadness.

"It will be, its only the first night. Do you need to feed?" She asked softly.

"Yeah, I don't want to you though."'

"You don't have to. Drink from me."

" No your not food Elena!" Damon said sharply. He pushed away her hand and sat up slowly wincing as he did so. She tried to push him back down and being in the weak state he was in it worked.

"Damon you need to feed! I trust you, Please."

When Damon looked up at her he caught a glance at the faint scar that was on her neck from when he was delusional from the werewolf bite and thought she was Katherine. He remembered when he found out that he drank from her like that and it made him sick., As usual she forgave him but he couldn't forgive himself. His scar that he caused was only inches away from the one Klaus gave her on the night of the sacrifice.

"Damon please, your only other option is to leave me here and go feed." Elena said still holding him from getting up. She was now sitting on his chest determined to help him.

"why do you want me to bite you so bad?" He snapped.

She was holding his wrist towards hims mouth. The pulsing of her blood was becoming powerful, puling him in the only thing that was stopping him from drinking her dry was the fact that this was Elena, his Elena.

"i just want to help you!" She cried. "Fine, go feed. I'll wait here." She said getting up off of him and ran to the bathroom. She slammed the door and sat on the bath tub crying. All she wanted to do was help him and he wouldn't let her. She felt a little rejected. She thought that he would like drinking her blood rather than drinking some stranger he finds somewhere, but she thought wrong. Damon winced as the door slammed and heard her crying. he sighed and slowly rolled off the bed.

"Elena open the door, Please." he talked threw the door. "Elena please listen to me, i know yo just want to help, but i don't want to drink you your my girlfriend, not my food. I love that your willing to help anyone but i just cant." Damon sighed. With his vampire hearing he heard Elena get up and slowly walked towards the door.

"I want to be able to help you feed. don't go all wimpy on me now. You've done it before." Elena said after she opened the door. Damon looked down at her and gently took her face into his hands.

"Elena, I just don't want to hurt you. You mean everything to me. If you change your mind all you have to do is tell me." Damon said

She nodded and melted into his embrace as he kissed down the side of her neck and out one hand around her lower back and the other one on the back of her head. He backed them up until she hit the bed and then he gently laid on top of her while kissing the spot he was going to drink from. After one hickey on the crook of her neck he slowly and carefully bit into her neck. Elena laid on the bed after the lustful activity. She never knew that's how it felt to be bitten from when she actually wanted to be bitten from. She was spread out on carelessly on the bed and turned to smile at Damon.

"your sure your ok?" He asked moving to lay down next to her. He smiled when she curled into his side.

"Never better." Elena replied she yawned and slowly started to fall asleep in his arms. Damon was still coming down from her blood. He never had something like hers before, never in all his 150 years. He wasn't sure if it was because she was they doppelganger or because he actually had feelings for her, unlike all the others he's had before her. Damon fell asleep with a smile on his face. Damon woke up to an empty bed, at first he panicked and but then he sat up listening for her heart beat and relaxed hearing it come from the living room. He looked over at the clock and saw that it said 6:30 am. He rolled his eyes and slowly got up, he walked out of the room and saw Elena. Her back was to him, her hair up in a sloppy bun. She was still wearing her clothes from yesterday. Damon could tell that she was working on homework, by the looks of it she has been working on it for awhile.

"What are you doing Lena?" He asked

"Jesh." She jumped.

"Sorry." Damon laughed.
"I'm trying to finish some of my homework."
"Ok, want help?"
"no I'm ok, thanks."
He sat down on the couch next to her and threw his arm over the back of the couch. "How long have you been up?" Damon asked giving her a kiss on the side of her head.
"Not that long, Maybe an hour?" Elena shrugged. "How are you feeling?" She asked.
"I'm fine thanks." He said. Damon watched her work on her homework while he flipped threw the TV channels looking for something good to watch.
"So i was thinking we would go shopping after we get something to eat." Damon said.
"Sounds like a plan." Elena replied. "What are we doing tomorrow for our date?"
"Like i'm going to ruin the surprise." Damon smirked.
"I hate surprises."
"I know." Damon smiled.
"Damon!" She frowned. "How am i supposed to know what to wear on our date?" She asked
"Wear whatever you want." Damon said.
"Does that mean jeans, or do i need a dress nicer?"
"Elena, we'll eat then something else. Dress nice but not to nice."
"Thank you. Are you ready to eat?" She asked packing up her things.
"Yeah, did you finish your homework?" He asked,
"I only have a few things left."
"That's good." Damon said smiling. Elena got up and walked into the bathroom and brushed her hair. Damon watched as Elena walked out into the living room again.
"What do you want for breakfast?" Elena asked.
"There was a nice diner around the corner."
"Sounds good."

Instead of driving they decided to walk to the diner. They walked shoulder to shoulder hand and hand till they reached the dinner and when they got there Damon opened the door and held it for Elena. They sat down in the booth and waited till the older lady came and toke their order. Elena ordered a stack of pancakes, and Damon got eggs. They sat there eating their breakfast and talking about anything. Damon watched as Elena ate her breakfast.
"This is really good." She smiled.
"I'm glad." Damon said.
They finished their breakfast and after Damon paid they started on their way to start shopping.

"Elena no!" Damon said frustrated.
"Damon." She cried. She wanted to shop by herself while she was searching for her date outfit because she wanted to be able to surprise Damon. Damon understood her reasoning but he didn't want to take the chance of her getting hurt. Plus this is New York she could get lost. Damon pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration.
"Fine Ok. We'll meet up at noon ok?" Damon finally said.
"Perfect." Elena said, that gave her almost 3 hours to find something. She turned and was about to walk away when Damon gently pulled her elbow and pulled her back in.
"Wait. Here take this." Damon said sliding a plastic card into her hand.
"Damon-."
"No Elena take it. Get what ever you want." Damon said seriously. He told her the pin and then watched as she walked the other direction. He turned around and wondered threw the mall trying to find something to do.
