Author's Note: Hope you enjoy this chapter.

Note this chapter was originally supposed to be longer but...I shortened it.

The pools of cerulean crystalline eyes that gazed into hers were dancing with devilishness and his eyes were half lidded as his dark lashes touched the skin underneath them ever so slightly for just a second.

The corners of the full lips upturned into that cocky smirk she knew so well.

Damon Salvatore…You don't seem to have changed a bit.

"Well, hello there beautiful." At his words she felt a breath catch in her throat and warmth spread through out her entire body. Her hands shook slightly with small tremors pulsing from her core.

Well, he doesn't seem to recognize me…yet.

This…this is good.

Possibly?

Now if he doesn't know, you need to play it cool so he doesn't get suspicious or anything.

Elena began composing herself and tried hard to imagine the striking man before her was an ordinary, average looking male. She took in a deep, deep breath, swallowed and put on her façade.

Her lips upturned into a coy smile and she fluttered her lashes as she slightly half lidded her own eyes.

"Why, hello there." She made her tone as flirty as she could and would allow.

His eyes seemed to brighten and his smirk grew. He looked like a hunter homing in on his prey.

"Now, out of curiosity…what is a gorgeous lady like yourself, doing in a place like this. I mean you must not be alone?" Elena gave him a small smirk of her own.

"Oh nothing, just here for a goodtime…to think…Actually I am alone. What's your excuse?" She saw the edges of his smirking lips upturn in a smile.

God, Elena…can you come up with a lamer response?

You probably appear pathetic and your flirting is sooo weak.

Elena crossed her legs and uncrossed them as he spoke. "No particular reason, I'm bored…I thought I'd try and find entertainment at a nightclub or more particularly a bar."

She spoke in a whisper so that the words that left her lips weren't detectable to humans but they were however to anything with super hearing.

"You mean, you came here for a snack, to feed?" Something stirred in his eyes and realization donned on him after a few minutes and he grinned.

He spoke in the same voice level as she had. "Oh, well you know…these places are good places to pick up a tasty meal."

They cut off their conversation as the bar tender placed Damon's drink on the table and helped another bunch of customers who appeared.

She grabbed her drink and crossed her legs as she sipped the contents. Damon did the same, barely concealing a cocky smirk.

"So, what are you doing in a small town like this?" She asked making conversation.

He looked thoughtful for a second but as his gaze landed on her his smirk grew.

"I'm here…paying a visit to a…family member here. Though surprisingly, they don't seem to enjoy my presence as much as others seem to." He laughed at his last statement.

"What about you? Mystic Falls…is quiet and not exactly big or entertaining."

Elena hesitated in her answer. "I like the quietness; it's sort of the place I grew up in." Damon's eyes seemed to narrow slightly for a second but she wasn't quite sure about that fact.

Great, Elena…make him suspicious, that's the way to go. Not.

Elena finished off her drink and ordered a refill of the drink she had just finished, however Damon interjected. "Let me pay for your drink." His smirk changed into a grin and he handed over some bills over to the bartender and asked for a refill of his own drink.

As soon as they had both gotten their drinks Elena turned to him and sipped at her drink before she coyly smiled and she spoke in a truly grateful tone. "Thank you…Wow, aren't you the gentlemen? Should I feel special or do you treat other girls you take an interest in, like this?"

Damon grinned. "Well, the gentlemanly etiquette was instilled into me from a young age centuries ago, I guess old habits die hard. Consider yourself special, I don't usually treat girls to drinks, you aren't just a girl though, you're a fellow vampire…therefore not a meal. Though you look good enough to eat." He winked as the smirk that previously played on his lips appeared again.

The usual cockiness rears its head again.

Elena laughed despite the flush of warmth that had worked its way through her neck to her chest and now pooled in her stomach. She felt the tremors start again but she put a lid on it quickly and tried blocking the nervousness and fear out again. She didn't want him to take notice of it.

Elena raised a single brow and sipped at the chilled drink in her hand "I bet you say that to all of the girls."

"Mhmm, but usually I only say it for one reason for their…you know blood, especially if I am hungry." He whispered the last part.

Elena laughed and after he sipped at the bourbon in his drink he spoke again. "So what's your diet, if I may ask?"

"Human, but I don't hunt it fresh…I haven't for awhile since I was turned…" Elena saw his face scrunch up for a second.

"Ewww…so you drink the cold stuff? I remember being on that…not as satisfying, I don't even know why I did that…I was back on the fresh stuff as soon as I could. I've tried animal blood reluctantly and I have to say it's...bland and disgusting" Damon's face scrunched up again but he flashed her a smile and then a smirk replaced it.

I know why you did.

Elena drank more than a simple sip this time.

Suddenly she heard the distinct sound of her phone buzzing.

She decided to ignore it.

"So, not that it's any of my business, but who's this person your visiting." She asked even though she had an idea and she was trying to keep the conversation going.

"My…tortured soul of a brooding brother…Unlike me…he's no fun. You see…I'm the hotter, older, funnier and most fun out of the two of us. I'm the bad ass brother, girls love bad asses." He smirked.

Incredulity laced her voice for a second. "You think so? Oh how modest of you. Someone sounds a little too cocky. I'm sure your brother isn't as bad as you make him out to be." A laugh escaped her lips.

Damon winked as he spoke that smirk growing by the second. "One, Thanks for the compliment. Two…who says cockiness isn't bad, plus I don't like to call it cockiness I like to label it as being very sure and confident, and all knowing about oneself. Thirdly…" He laughed showing his white, white teeth.

"Oh, boy…Hunny you don't know the half of it." He laughed again.

Elena fought the impulse to roll her eyes but she failed in the struggle and rolled her eyes anyway.

She heard Damon laugh and when she looked back at him she saw the usual smirk was intact and he had an amused expression on his face. "You're a feisty one aren't you? You've got spunk. I like it." He winked again.

"Again, do you say that to all the other girls, that show the slightest bit of assertiveness and resistance to your charms?"

"Maybe, maybe not." She felt herself involuntarily shiver when he leaned in a little and she glanced into the depths of his cerulean crystalline eyes.

Elena sipped at her drink, to try and find refuge and calm from the alcohol.

Damon seemed to pick up on the shiver because a smug expression mixed with the amused expression on his face. "You know, it's not good to bottle emotions up."

"What ever do you mean?" Elena said and then sipped some of Absinthe cocktail. She fluttered her eyelashes while her coy smile grew.

"I mean…I can see what you're doing."

Damn!

Did I blow my cover?

Maybe I made myself too suspicious or maybe he just sees through my act…

"And…pray tell, what is that exactly?" She tried to play dumb. Despite the thoughts running through her head she kept her façade up as best as she could.

"I mean, I can see…that you want me." Damon did that eye flirty thing she knew very well from her human life.

Again she fought the urge to roll her eyes and cross her arms, she succeeded.

She raised a single brow, still smiling as she did it. "Oh really now?"

Same old cocky Damon.

"Yes, I bet you're burning with desire right now, that you've been thinking about me ever since you saw me walk in here and right now I bet…you want to kiss me." He had a super smug look on his face.

Compulsion won't work this time.

I'm not human anymore.

She gazed at his lips and felt the slightest fire switch on in her core, but she wouldn't dare reveal it to him she wasn't going to succumb to her desire.

Elena decided to just laugh. "Nice try but I've run into many guys like you, believe me when I say this…I have no intention of kissing you or sleeping with you tonight. I'm not like other girls and these tactics of yours won't get me to fall for your charms so easily."

Elena laughed again and a blank expression crossed his face, she felt smug now that she had fazed the great Damon Salvatore.

Damon seemed to mask his reaction after a minute with the cocky expression of his. "Hmm…we'll see, you don't know what will happen in the future. If you stick around Mystic Falls, you might just fall for my dashing good looks and witty charm."

I don't need to.

Elena heard her phone buzz again and after taking a sip of her drink she checked her phone.

Asher again…

Having fun? ;]

Maybe…why?

Who's the dude beside you? ;P

Why?

Oh nothing…x]

Hope I'm not interrupting…your little conversation full of flirting and things.

What…how do you...know? Where are you!

Sweetie look behind you and prepare to be awed~ ;]

Elena's brows furrowed and she put her cellphone in her purse as she looked behind her.
