Chapter 7

Dammon P.O.V

The following morning i woke up in blissful peace. Last night minus all the reopening of old wounds was amazing. To say the least. After the deep talking it seemed one step closer for each of us. It certainly knocked a few walls of mine down. I felt alot more at ease with this woman in my arms. I felt i could actually have a chance with her and after opening up to her last night and showing her my weak and vulnerable side, it made are already strong connection that much stronger.

I stared down to the naked, sleeping girl in my arms, looking down on her beauty and perfection. She was certainly one of a kind. I just had to try and keep her, and not push her away. It was then that i heard her begin to stir and saw her eyes flutter open.

"Goodmorning, beautiful" i said

"Morning" she said in a husky voice before leaning up to give him a kiss on the lips, before looking at the clock on the bedside table.

"Shit, I'm gonna be late for work" she said

"'Lena, can't you call in sick. I'm not gonna get to see you until next week after today. I go away on Friday" i complained with my best sad face.

"I dunno...what makes you think i want to see you again, Damon. Awfully sure that i will aren't you" she teased.

"Well, considering how much you wanted me last night, that you wouldn't be able to last long without me. I mean look at me" i quirked back with a smirk.

"If i recall from last night you were the one begging for me" she trailed off as she began working her hand down his chest and past his waistline to his most intimate areas.

"Your stepping into a very dangerous zone ther, Miss Gilbert" i drawled out as i flipped us over " i mean if you ever want to leave this bedroom i wouldn't go there" and before she could answer i stopped her with a passionate kiss, and continued on just to prove my point.

Elena P.O.V

Damon could be very persuasive, he eneded up persuading me not to go to work and spend the day with him. In the bedroom. It was now 6pm and i was just getting home, dressed in the night before clothes. Completely and utterly exhausted from todays activities. I didn't know where either of us got the energy from, we'd only just stopped from one round to go straight in to the next. His theory was that considering he wasn't going to see me until the following week he had to make sure i remembered him. Like i ould forget that body and the way he made me feel. I thought to myself as i put the key in the apartment and let myself in.

"Well, well, well. Look who finally decided to come home" Caroline teased " Must have been some date" she said.

"Definetley was" i said simply

"Well...what are you waiting for details. Now"

"Well we had dinner, with a little help from you i see, it was amazing he can sure cook, which is great considering i can't We talked, i actually told him about Elijah-" i was about to continue put she interrupted before i could.

"Wait...everything"

"Well-no but the basic stuff"

"Elena you know if this is going to get serious you have to tell him right"

"I know, i'm just scared, what if it scares him away or worst he hates me for getting involved with him and possibly putting him in danger" i worried

"Honey, if he likes you then it won't matter. Its his lose, you know that right. He'd be mad to hate you, its not your fault what happened in your past and i know its still a really sensitive subject but you have to open up to him if you want something more with him".

"I will, i just have a lot of thinking to do first and preparation before i start going through all that again"

"I know, just know i'm here for you either way ok. So lets go on with these details shall we...What happened next"

"Well...after i told him about Elijah, we kind of get into and arguement, but then he opened up to me turned out he has an ex that cheated with his own brother. I mean who does that too anybody, plays to brothers against each other its sick and twisted. She sounds like a complete and utter bitch. But yeah after that we just conneted so well and before we knew it, it we were in the bedroom and that's where we've been for the majority of today"

"Wow, it went well then. He must be good if you were in bed all day. Sounds like he's as messed up as you then, no offence". She teased.

"Yeah i suppose he is really. And Care good doesn't do him any justice what so ever".

"Glad that your finally getting back out there Elena and are happy again. Its nice to see you smiling and god your glowing".

"Yeah, it feels good. I feel like we could actually make a go at this, just i'm terrified if he comes back and ruins it like he did with that Micheal guy that i dated for awhile".

"Hey, that was like nearly a year now. He won't come back i mean the last time you saw him was six months ago, and he acted as if everything was fine and nothing ever happened. Don't be scared. I mean Damon means alot more to you then Josh ever did. Plus Damon has a lot more connections then Josh did i mean he was a bartender. Damon is rich and owns his own company. Elijah won't mess with him, Trust me".

"Okay, i do just can't help but worry"

"Oh, Jenna called and asked what time are we gonna be there Friday"

"Well i stll have work but i can get off earlier so say we'll be there arounf 6.30pm"

"Ok, i'll ring her back later"

"Alright, wanna order some food and have a girls night"

"Yeah, sounds good. Wish Bonnie could be here, i can't wait to see her"

"I know its just not the same without her here"

.

The rest of the week passed quickly. I spoke to Damon everyday, we just talked and on Thursday he took me for lunch and we eneded up doing other things in the ladies room and the back seat of his car. Classy i know. Apparently we ouldn't get enough of each other. After my conversation with Caroline on Tuesday night i decided that after Jenna's wedding i would tell Damon everything sparing no details whats so ever. I just hoped it wouldn;t change anything and if it did for the better. I already new that it would hurt to lose him. I knew then that i had fell for him. Because just at the thought of losing him for good killed me in side.

By Friday i decided to keep my thoughts of Damon to minimum, for the next 4 days anyway. They were about Jenna and family.

Before we knew it we had arrived at Jennas place (my parents old house). It really hadn't changed much over the years. Me, Caroline, and Tyler were staying at the house, me in my old room and Tyler and Caroline in Jeremy's old room.

We were just walking up the porch steps when the door flung open to reveal, a very pregnant Jenna. You wouldn'y believe she still had 4 months to go.

"Wow, look at you you're huge"

"Thanks Elena. I so wanted to waddle down the aisle instead of walked" she joked

"Hey, you look great either way"

"Thanks sweetie, now you three get here now and give me a hug. God i missed you" she sniffled

"Missed you too. It actually feels great to be home" Tyler said.

"It sure does" Caroline chipped in.

"Come in everyone dinner will be ready in the next 30 minutes gives you time to settle in and wait for everyone else to turn up" Jenna explained as she walked us inside.

"Hi, guy" Alaric said popping is head around the kitchen.

"See you have him cooking Jenna. Good idea don't think we'd all survive your cooking" i joked.

"Ha-ha very funny. Suppose it saves any bother from anyone getting food poisoning" She laughed

"So, who we waiting on?" i questioned as Caroline and Tyler made there way upstairs to unpack and settle in.

"Well, there's Bonnie, Jeremy, Ric's best man- Quick warning he's a complete ass and pretty infuriating- also Matt's coming as well, though we'd invite him considering he hasn't seen you Caroline or Tyler since last year".

"Sounds great. Well i'm gonna go change and unpack. Shout when dinners ready ok?"

"Sure will, and later i need to ask you something"

"Ok, we have plenty of time" i smiled, and made my way upstairs just as the doorbell rung.

"Hi, Jenna Ric there" said an all too familiar voice and a spun around quickly to reveal, the man that had been the topic of my dreams and fantasies and also my worries, on the porch of my aunt's house bottle of bourbon in hand, looking dashing as always with is forever present smirk.

"Damon" i called in a shocked voice.

"Elena" he said in pretty much the same tone and probably the same look on his face, we must have made quiet the picture.
