"Off for a run?" He laughed as he examined me.
"You caught me." I turned and smiled. "How'd you find me?"
"Oh, well I have my ways." He smirked as he crossed the street and got onto my side of the side walk.
"I would explain my ways if I were you because right now I'm picturing someone who stalked me and followed me home." I taunted playfully.
"You wish. Neighbor." Damon grinned.
"Neighbor? As in you live next door?" My smile turned into a frown quickly as I said the words aloud, in a horrified tone. "You're joking right?" I nervously laughed.
"Oh, don't pretend you aren't thrilled." Damon grinned.
"Oh please." I rolled my eyes at him. "Were you doing something productive before you found me? Or are you just gonna stand there?" I scowled; I did not like being neighbors with this gorgeous boy, it wasn't good for me. Not good for my sanity…
"You're feisty. I like it." Damon smirked cockily. Oh, what I would do to slap that grin off his face… "Elena, I'm sorry for ditching you today." He smiled sincerely for once.
"You know I really don't want to forgive you, but I feel like this is the best I'm gonna get because you don't obviously apologize very often." I laughed lightly.
"Well, in that you are correct my friend." He smirked, back to his cocky self. "Elena, now that you're here… I'd – I'd like you to show you something." He nodded and put he crossed his arms.
"Show me something?" I crossed my arms and narrowed my eyes in suspicion.
"Mhm."
"Where is this magical something?" I wondered.
"It's a surprise." He flashed a toothy grin like a little boy and I couldn't help but laugh.
"You want me to go with you to a magical somewhere, even though I've just met you this morning and we barely know anything about each other?" I asked with a bit of edge to my voice.
"Sounds about right." He smiled.
"And what do you suppose I tell my mother?"
"Don't tell her anything, let's just go." He grinned.
"Oh perfect, so you could just kidnap me and no one would ever know-"
"Oh come on. Do you always overanalyze things?" Damon rolled his eyes. "It'll be fun. Give me a chance." His eyes sparkled as he grinned and I basically swooned…
"Fine." I laughed, trying to brush off my annoyance for nerves.
I really hope I don't regret this…
"Damon how much longer?" I sighed.
I had been walking for about five minutes with my eyes closed and it's not like I minded that Damon was holding my hips to guide me, but still-
"Just wait two seconds." He whispered in my ear. "You won't regret it I promise." His sweet voice made me have Goosebumps all over.
"Fine." I giggled nervously.
We walked about five more steps before I heard something crunch. Was it a twig? As I heard the sounds of different insects and crickets making sounds I was about to protest. "Damon, what the-"
"Open your eyes." I could hear Damon's smile form, he was so close, and he squeezed on my hips before pushing me slightly forward to look at where he brought me to.
"Damon-" I started.
This place was absolutely gorgeous. It was a forest? A piece of land? I couldn't exactly tell as I made a circle around to intake the beautiful scenery that surrounded me. It was green everywhere. Green and every once in a while my eyes caught sight of something beautifully blue, green, pink, red, and every other beautiful color on the rainbow. I felt like I was in another world. It was like Forks from Twilight but I could see some rays of sunshine peak through the giant trees that trolled over us. I wanted to go exploring, but then I realized who I was with.
"What is this place?" I said, breathless with a soft smile on my lips before looking at a devilishly handsome boy grinning as he watched me in awe. Awe?
"It's my home." He smiled.
"You live here?" I looked at him strangely. How could anyone live in a forest…?
"No, not currently. In fact, no ones lived here for hundreds of years. But my family used to live here a long time ago." Damon said as he walked closer towards me. He stood just behind me as he whispered in my ear again, "if you look straight ahead," Damon lifted his arm and put his arm oh so lightly on my hip and I stopped breathing, which was counterproductive seeing as how my heart was beating so furiously it needed three millions time more air than I was giving it- "There's the house we used to live in." He breathed in my ear.
And just as I was about to relax in his arms and begin to breathe again, he quickly walked away from me.
"Oh." Was all I was capable of saying after such a sudden departure.
"It's beautiful and-" I said slowly, but paused when I noticed that I wanted to say rather let go but gorgeous.
"Unkept?" He smirked. "That's the Salvatore's for you. We love luxury, but this? This was too sacred for us to maintain. I know it's awful but-" Damon shrugged.
"No," I shook my head. "I understand entirely. This house, the aura it carries with all of the nature surrounding it, I mean-" I paused, trying to find the words. "It's beautiful." I smiled looking at him. "You must think I'm crazy. I'm really not a nature freak or anything, but it's just this place is so peaceful-"
"I understand entirely. In fact, you just stated the prime reason why we never cut down the trees here." Damon smiled sweetly as he saved me from my almost-rambling.
Damon's such a romantic. Who would have thought?
"This is in Coco Plum?" I wondered. It seemed strange that in a community of some of the wealthier people of Miami, this could really continue to exist."
"Not without hassle – but we have very generously begged the Coco Plum Homeowners Association managers to let us keep the property. It has a lot of sentimental value for us." Oh, that makes a lot of sense.
"Oh." I nodded and started walking around my perimeter again, hearing twigs crack as I did so.
"Mind if we do a little exploring?" I grinned like a four year-old excited for her first Magic Kingdom trip.
"Why do you think I brought you here?" Damon smirked back, and I slightly laughed.
"Catch me if you can!" I laughed as I ran towards the house I was dying to see.Wow… that came out much more embarrassing than I had originally planned.
"Elena!" I heard Damon laugh.
Why did Damon bring me here? I've only just met him…
I ran as fast as I could for the house, attempting to ignore all the magnificent distractions and seductive obstacles in my way. I somehow made it to the house, and even though I was gonna keep running to play with Damon, I paused in shock as I caught sight of the house.
"Oh my god." I gasped.
The house was amazing. It looked like a copy of the Vatican. It was obviously designed like theVenetian Gothic mansions I had studied about in art history last year. I looked up and the house seemed to go on forever. As soon as my eyes hit the sun, I squinted and blinked a few times until I looked straight ahead at the Arabian accented door.
The door had a few steps leading up to it, and weeds growing everywhere around it. I wanted to push open the black steel decorated door, but I hesitated.
"Can we go in?" I breathed as I heard Damon come up behind me.
"Of course." I could hear him grin. He walked in front of me and opened the door for me. "After you."
I said nothing as I walked in with awe. I looked at everything as if I had been to another planet. This house was just so gorgeous that I was dying internally. If I ever had a home it would have to be this spectacular or I could never live a proper life. I knew that for sure. I had several options to choose from to continue, but I only stared at the familiarity of the building. I had seen walls that were covered with vines and moss before. I couldn't remember where, but I definitely had been somewhere like this before…
I headed towards my immediate left were there was a stair case. I started walking towards the web covered stair case that was made of white stone and walked a few steps when I looked to my left and saw a stainless glass that made me stop. I had run stairs like this, if not identical to this before. I stopped and walked to the center quickly trying to check if my suspicions were true…
"Oh," I whispered with a smile as I looked up at the golden ceiling designs that filled the extremely tall ceiling. "Pure Gold right?"
"Donated from the Vatican, how'd you know?" Damon smiled suspiciously.
"I think," I paused and looked down at Damon's house as I bit my lip. "I know this probably sounds crazy, but I think I've been here before." I looked at Damon and watched Damon's face form a million different emotions. I was expecting a bunch of different reactions, all that had the words, "are you crazy?" somewhere in them.
"When?" Was all he said.
"Well, once when I was little my mom took me to see a beautiful house. I might be wrong though, seeing as how this is your house, and besides this house probably doesn't have-" I paused as I realized that I was talking to myself.
"What?" Damon whispered, his blue eyes piercing.
"A fountain." I said lightly, trying to ease the tension of the silence.
"A fountain hm?" He smiled.
Suddenly, he grabbed my hand and led me up the stairs. I tried to admire all the beauty quickly as I was being rushed behind him. I saw at least thirty rooms on this floor and a hallway that I wanted to go down so badly, but unfortunately we were heading down another hallway…
We started walking down a few stairs and entered a place that right in front of the stairs, there was a huge fountain that still spout water and had the sun shining directly on it. He let go of my hand as I walked towards it slowly.
"Is this the fountain?" Damon asked as he walked in front of me.
I smiled as I walked down the fountain. "That's the one."
As I got out of my daze of realizing that I had been to this world wonder before, I realized how awkward this situation was. "I'm really sorry-" I started.
"I didn't realize, and I'm sure my mom didn't realize that this house had an owner. If she did I'm sure she would have never, trespassed your property." I nervously smiled.
"Hey, no worries." Damon laughed as he saw me get all nervous. "People come here all the time. I'm not surprised your mom came here."
"Oh. Well still I feel horrible." I pushed the hair behind my face and breathed.
I was about to speak again when I heard the waves of the ocean crashing against something. "This has to be the most beautiful house I've ever seen." I shook my head as I ran outside the doors towards the ocean.
"Did you used to have a boat here?" I asked as I saw the remains of a dock in front of a stair case leading to the water.
"Yeah, but we sold it ages ago." Damon replied casually.
I looked up at him as I went to touch the water and realized just how gorgeous the boy in a black shirt and jeans was. His eyes were the color of the water I was touching and he was so hot.
Stop looking at him Elena!
I immediately took my hand out of the water and walked back up the stairs. "Thank you for bringing me here Damon, it's amazing." I smiled.
"I told you you'd love it." He smirked.
The silence should've been awkward, but it wasn't because he was walking closer and closer to me. I could see in his eyes the desire he had to kiss me, and as much as I wanted to comply… I foolishly ran from him.
"Ah, you never caught me. There's no prizes for cheaters." I quickly said as I kissed him on the cheek so closely to his lips it would be hard to define it as a kiss on the cheek. Then I ran for the forest.
I had been here once before, and though I was no expert, I was fairly certain that if I walked to the farthest left side of the house, and kept running forward I would find the forest again.
As I laughed at how silly and playful I was being, on top of the adrenaline of being caught I smiled excitedly as I found the forest. I kept turning behind me to see if I saw Damon, but I turned so quickly that I never really got the chance to catch him.
Finally I stopped in front of a tree to catch my breath. I laughed, why was I such a little kid sometimes?
I took a circle around this one giant tree that seemed to hover thousands of feet over me, and for some reason looked at the trunk.
I saw a heart and letters engraved in it. I blinked a couple of times and rubbed my eyes to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me.
"Elena!" I heard Damon yell.
"What the hell?" I whispered as I read what the tree heart carving had written inside of it.
Damon loves Katherine forever.
