Chapter 3

A/N: Again i own nothing.

The next day.

Damon P.O.V

" So Tyler considering how were buds and all would you do be a favour well maybe two favours"

"Depends what these favours entail"

"Only you putting i a good word for me in with Elena and possibly giving me her cellphone number".

"Ummm...what do you plan on doing with her"

"Well, nothing really just kidnapping her and locking her away in my apartment dungeon, what do you think idiot"

"Ha-Ha" Tyler replied dryly. "I'm being serious Damon, i know your type, hell i used to be like you till i started dating Caroline, what's your game plan".

"I'm being serious nothing, i just want to get to know her seriously, just a date".

" If i do this you have to promise not to hurt her, she's had a pretty rough life"

"I promise and what do you mean?" i asked curiously

"Well, one a couple of years back she was in a bad relationship, with a complete douche bag who seriously messed her up, and secondly around 5 years ago she and her brother lost her parents in a freak car accident, story cut short Elena was in the car when the accident happened, and again every since then that spark that she used to have went out and she has never been the same since".

"Jesus, thought i had it rough. Where's her brother now?"

"He's back in her or rather our home town Mystic Falls"

"Small world i used to live there when I was a kid".

"Well explains a lot considering you're a Salvatore, ever thought of going back there, i mean this company can basically run itself without you?"

"Yeah, not just ready yet, my brother lives there still, sibling rivalry, you know how it is, hate each other an all, but i am going back there in about a month a close friends getting married and i'm best man so have to be there, being such the great person i am" i winked

"Sorry, can't say i do, only child here. Really is a small world, funny me, Care and Elena are all going back as well for a wedding".

"Yep, ok then so about that number, what about it"

"Yeah just don't hurt her. Elena is loved both here and back home, you'd have some serious shit on your back if you did"

"Thanks Ty, and message received loud and clear" i said as Tyler wrote down Elena's number.

"Yeah well, i aint promising that she will listen to me or even answer the phone call once she knows who it is, she seemed pretty pissed last night over something you said, and oh yeah Carolone swears she knows you from somewhere".

"Ah right, yeah i swore here and Elena, at 40/40 the other night that's all".

Elena P.O.V

I was awoke the next morning by my phone buzzing next to my head.

"Hello" i asked groggily

"Well hello there Miss sunshine, never guess who it is would you".

"Ughh, how the hell did you get my number"

"Well...a little bird told me".

"Well tell that little bird i future to ask permission before giving someones number out without permission"

"Now why would i want to do that, dear Elena"

"Goodbye Damon"

"No wai-" he said as Elena cut the phone off putting a pillow over her head and going back to sleep, only for her phone to buzz again she looked at the number and instantly ignored the call and turning her phone off.

.

One week later.

It was Sunday morning and for the past week Damon had been her wake up call, every single day. It was infuriating, he clearly didn't understand the words "Leave me alone". He had asked her every single day 'will you go on a date with me' and every single time she replied with the same answer 'No'. Clearly he had no shame at being rejected. She had a rather good weekend she had driven down to mystic falls on Friday with Caroline to go and catch up with their families and friends. Manly also to help Jenna plan her upcoming wedding. Jenna was currently living in the home that myself and Jeremy grew up in, 4 months pregnant and engaged to the new Mystic falls high history teacher. Elena had been named godmother already of the upcoming baby and also maid of honour for the wedding meaning she had a lot of planning to do, luckily for her best friend was an event organiser so that helped, but still on top of juggling her latest journalism stories at work, her social life, organizing the wedding and Damon she was exhausted. Though they managed to successful find a wedding dress that was suitable for Jenna's expanding pregnancy bump, and also the bridesmaids dresses, as well as colour scheme, venue and most of the major things, the only things left were flowers, the bachelorette party and the wedding cake, they'd ended up setting the date to the 20th March . So altogether a successful weekend, on Saturday evening she decided to go back to New York after seeing her brother and Bonnie.

.

So here she was home sweet home, all alone, well all except the buzzing phone. She was sick of his constant calling, she may be known for being stubborn, but there is only so much she can take before she will cave. So she decided one date wouldn't hurt.

"Hello"

"Finally you pick up, thought you were avoiding me there" he joked

"Well not like your constant calling can be ignore for much longer can it i think you've suffered enough rejection for awhile"

"So is this you finally caving, told you your all the-"

" Do not even finish that sentence if you want a date, Jerk"

"Sorry, habit...so say Friday 8pm i'll pick you up"

"Well you need to know where i live first"

"Care to share"

"I live in the apartment block, Herald Tower, not to far from the club 40/40"

"Ok, i'll be waiting in the lobby, didn't realise we lived so close together. My apartment is in Echeon Chelsea".

"Yeah, right ok do you have any specific dress code"

"Well no clothes at all would be great..." he drawled out

"Pig, I'm being serious!"

"Chill out princess, casual but sexy, not hard for you considering you already smoking hot"

"Thanks appreciated see you Friday...and oh yeah no more early morning wake up calls, i need beauty sleep".

"I don't think you do, if you were anymore hotter you'd be on fire"

"Do any of your pick up lines actually work, that was just lame"

"Ouch, after being emotionally stung, i think i better say bye. Bye Lena see you Friday".

"Yeah yeah" i'd replied as he hung up.

Well this should be an eventful date.
