AN: Hey everyone!

First of all, I am very sorry that I haven't updated for a while, but I have been really busy lately that I haven't had time to write at all! The good news is that I not as busy anymore so updates might come more often. Plus I will probably update my other story "An Unexpected Miracle" too to make up for it.

Anyway, I would like to say thank you to everyone who has taken interest in this story and who had reviewed, favourite and are following this story! I am really happy that you like it.

Well this chapter takes place two weeks after the last one so please keep that in mind. It's more of a filler chapter but I hope you still enjoy it!

Disclaimer: I do not own the Vampire Diaries but the plot is all mine :)

Chapter 6

"Elena! There you are! I have looked everywhere for you. You have to tell me how it went between you and Damon"! Caroline eagerly says while running up to her best friend.

Elena rolls her eyes at her friend's enthusiasm. Ever since she went with Damon to the Grill for dinner two weeks ago, Caroline wouldn't stop calling each day since she wanted to know how the 'date' went. Elena reluctantly tried to convince her that it wasn't a date, but she wouldn't listen to her like usual. So eventually she gave up and has successfully avoided her blonde friend until now.

"Caroline, how many times do I have to tell you? There is nothing going on between me and Damon. He just took me out to the Grill for dinner, but that's it".

Caroline shakes her head at the brunette. "Well sorry to bother you, but you have to come out of this denial stage sooner or later. You are one of the only few people who Damon does nice things for so why don't you just accept it".

Elena rolls her eyes, "I can't accept it Caroline because there is absolutely nothing going on between the two of us. Besides, even if there was nothing would really be done about it since Damon made it very clear that he isn't looking for a relationship".

Caroline disapprovingly shakes her head "Well you two lovebirds can be in denial all you want, but it's not going to make me change my mind. Anyway, the main reason I wanted to talk to you in the first place is so that we can discuss the big Halloween party that I planned. You do realize that it's only in a couple of weeks".

Elena nods her head thankful that Caroline changed the subject since talking about her and Damon makes her uncomfortable. Lately it seems that every time she thinks of or is anywhere near Damon, butterflies suddenly appear in her stomach fluttering around like crazy. Elena however tries not to make a big deal out of it and does her best to ignore it. After all, it would be ridiculous to think about her best friend in that way especially since nothing good would come out of it.

"Elena! Hello are you even listening to me"?! Caroline angrily says which makes Elena snap out of her thoughts.

"Sorry I was listening to you but I just got lost in my thoughts" Elena responds chuckling at her excuse for an answer. Luckily for her, Caroline doesn't seem to notice at all.

"Well at least you are listening now because I have some important news that I need it tell you" Caroline says impatiently.

"I can tell since you're excited about it. So what's the great news that you have to tell me"?

Caroline claps her hands excitedly " Well you know how my party is in a few weeks? I just realized that we don't have any dates which is pretty much necessary for this party"!

Elena frowns " Caroline, you don't have to bring a date to a party to have a good time. Besides, you have Tyler who I know will be your date since he loves you more than anyone. I'm the one who doesn't have a date which you don't have to worry about since I am perfectly capable of going alone".

Caroline shockingly looks at her friend not believing what she just heard. "Did you seriously say what I thought you said?! Elena, you have to bring someone since it wouldn't be fair if I was the only one who has a date. Besides your brother is bringing Bonnie and I already found someone who you can go with".

Elena sighs knowing that this is how her friend would react but she knows better than to argue since Caroline wouldn't listen to her anyway. "Alright Caroline, I'll do it. Now who is this guy anyway?

Caroline happily claps her hands "Thank you for understanding Elena and I promise you won't be disappointed. Well his name is Adam and he is around the same age as you. He is looking for a girlfriend and he is a lawyer. I know about him from Matt since the two of them are good friends and not long after, I told Adam about you. He seems really interested and wants to go out with you".

Elena nods her head throughout most of the conversation, easily seeing that Caroline is a fan of the guy. After she mentions Matt's name though, her whole body tenses up since it reminds her of the fight that she had with Damon about it. She doesn't mention this to her and Caroline thankfully doesn't bring it up at all.

"So what do you think? Do you think it will work out"? Caroline nervously asks.

Elena lets out a deep breath and then faces her friend "Ok I will do it but if it doesn't work out, don't set me up with another guy right away" she reluctantly answers which makes the blonde jump out and give her friend a hug while going on about on how she won't regret it. After a few minutes, Caroline changes the subject and chances it to the party which makes Elena smile. Although she isn't the biggest fan of being set up with a lot of guys, it's all worth it when she sees the look on her best friend's face . She just hopes that everything will end up going well.

"You did another great job today Mr. Salvatore. Hope you will put in the same amount of effort tomorrow"

"Thank you very much sir and you can count on me to do even better tomorrow. Have a good day". Damon responds to his boss and then walks out of the office; wishing his fellow coworkers a good night on the way out.

On his way home, Damon decides to sit down on a park bench to gather his thoughts. He then sighs tiredly since the day has taken a lot out of him especially since he was doing paperwork for the enemy. To be honest, Damon loved his job as a lawyer and was paid a fair amount of money too, but each job also has disadvantages. The truth is that when his boss calls him Mr. Salvatore, he has to forcefully put on a smile since the name reminds him of his father and he doesn't want to go there.

Lately, it seems that all the work that he has got has to do with the Mikaelson Corporation. Damon still doesn't understand why Klaus wants to be his client when he has his own business.

The worst part though is knowing that one of his good friends Matt Donovan is engaged to his sister Rebekah who is just as bad as her brother. It honestly doesn't make sense on why someone like Matt can be with her; even Elena doesn't understand it.

Elena. Just hearing her name brings up memories. They haven't really seen each other since their dinner a couple of weeks ago. It made sound strange, but he thinks she is avoiding him on purpose after the fight...

"No! She isn't avoiding me or anything. Elena probably just wants to have time to herself and is very busy. Besides, she made it very clear that the fight is no big deal"

Damon snaps out of his thoughts, but then shortly realizes after that he is probably thinking right since Elena is his best friend and she can't stay too mad at someone for long. Even if she was busy, it's none of his business anyway since she might even be helping Caroline with the party now. They might even be discussing dates...

Damon shakes his head, telling himself that he needs to stop thinking about Elena and who she might bring as a date. She is a single woman who is free to date whoever she wants since the two of them aren't dating so it shouldn't bother him.

Damon then stands up from the park bench that he's sitting on and heads home.

"Stefan! Are you here"? Damon yells out after coming through the front door.

"Hold on Damon! I'm on the phone now so be there in a few minutes!" Stefan loudly yells in response.

Damon rolls his eyes and then heads into the living room. He picks up a magazine from the centre table, finds a chair and sits down to read it.

Luckily for him, Stefan comes in shortly after with a stressed look on his face.

"Hey I'm done now so what is it that you want Damon"? Stefan asks in a not interested voice.

Damon puts the magazine down on the chair and stands up to face his brother with a frown on his face "I'm hurt Stef. All I want to do is talk to my little brother" Damon says in a fake hurt voice.

Stefan however doesn't seem to notice "You never want to 'talk' Damon. We haven't done so since we were kids since you always want something all the time. So what do you want"?

Damon raises his eyebrows surprisingly at his brother, but doesn't comment on it. "Alright fine, be your usual broody self. I was just curious about how my little brother's day went" Damon says annoyingly and then starts to walk away. He doesn't get far though when he stops and turns around "On second thought I am curious on who you were talking to on the phone since it looked like an intense conversation".

"You see this is exactly what I am talking about! You always have a tendency to butt into people's business which personally annoys the hell out of me. So why don't you just drop it" Stefan yells angrily at his brother who just gives him an amused look.

"Wow never thought that you had the guts. Did your girlfriend just break up with you or something"? Damon says teasingly.

Stefan shakes his head "No Damon I don't have a girlfriend and even if I did it wasn't her. Since you won't stop bugging me about it, it was Caroline Forbes on the phone".

"Oh well that's...interesting" Damon says surprisingly. "What did Blondie have to say that's got you so frustrated"?

Stefan looks at his brother with a 'I'm serious' look. "Well she called to remind me that her party is coming up soon and that I should think about bringing a date since her and...Elena are both bringing dates." Stefan says with jealousy in his voice.

Damon stares at his brother speechless for the first time. After a few minutes, the silence breaks when Damon chuckles quietly to himself finding how its ironic that Elena has a date and he was thinking about it earlier on. He is so caught up with his thoughts that he almost forgets that his brother is in the room.

"I'm sorry but Elena has a date? Well that's a coincidence since I was thinking about it earlier. Is that why you are so broody"? Damon jokingly asks. When Stefan doesn't laugh though, he stops laughing and looks at him. "Oh sorry about that brother. I know that you have the biggest crush on her even though she has no idea".

"Look Damon, I didn't tell you about Elena so that you can make fun of me because of it. We are just friends and that's all we will ever be like the two of you. Now if you excuse me, I need to go find a date" Stefan sternly says and then walks out the door.

Damon shakes his head at his brother's obliviousness. It's obvious from the jealousy in his voice that he thinks of Elena as more than a friend, but he refuses to admit it. However, what Damon can't stop thinking about is what his brother said.

"We are just friends and that's all we will ever be like the two of you"

The words keep ringing in his head and even though they may be true, something doesn't sound right about it. It's true that he and Elena are just friends, but for some reason hearing it from someone else sounds wrong..

"Damon you really need to stop thinking that way. Stefan just pretty much confirmed that the two of you are friends so stop thinking otherwise".

Damon shakes his head, trying to remind himself that he needs to listen to his thoughts since they make a lot more sense them he does at the moment.

All he knows is that he needs to find a date to what he feels won't be just any ordinary party.

AN: Well what did you think? I know it's late but I hope this makes up for it. The next chapter will show the party and who is Damon's , feel free to suggest any songs that are used at parties :)

I will update my other story hopefully soon so keep an eye out. Also maybe you can review this chapter?

Until next time!
