A/N: hey guys I just realized my username is delenahart3 and I had 3 chapters and reviews! I thought it was kinda funny...


One more week until Winter vacation! I so happy but I'm also dreading it because I wont get to see Damon. I won't get to see his beautiful crystal blue eyes. Or listen to him playfully bantering with me.

Wanna hear the upside? Damon's is going to be my personal slave! He told his parents that he might come home later than usual. So I guess that means he might visit me at my house. I freaking out! ...in a good way.

I have no idea what to make him do though. Today he's coming to the mall with me. I don't answer his question when he asks why. Well, I still run into with Stefan every once in a while. Mostly because Stefan and him are friends. If I'm being honest, I don't even remember why I liked him, he's kind of boring. I want to give him a gift because I want to try to make Damon jealous.

I don't want to give too much away about Stefan's present. But let's just say he made a big impression on me last year and I want to make sure it stays for only me.


Anyways, today we are staging an injury. So everyday while Damon, Jeremy, and I get out of P.E. Bonnie waits for us in a corner with Rose and those people. When we do catch up with her I "accidentally" trip Bonnie.

"Ow!" Bonnie yells pretending to fall then hurt herself.

"oh my gosh Bonnie, are you okay?" Jeremy fake sympathizes.

"Yeah, but I think my knee is bleeding."

Hehee, that's my cue: I back away slowly but Damon is only watching Bonnie.

I guess Jeremy notices our problem because he improvises "Hey Elena, where are you going?"

He then looks my way and I clash into the wall and try to look scared and hopeless.

As Jeremy helps Bonnie get up, Damon takes a cautious step towards me.

"Are you okay, Elena?" He puts emphasis on the word 'you.' I have to remind myself to focus, I love the way he breathes out my name.

I shake my head as if to clear my thoughts. "What? Oh um yeah." I say uneasily. From behind Damon, I saw Bonnie and Jeremy give me a thumbs up.

Step 1: complete

We headed towards the lunch line but the security guards made up line up in a different spot because they feared it might rain. But I absolutely loved rain! We all grabbed our lunch making no effort to hurry up. Which caused the other students to groan in annoyance, to our amusement.

When we got to our table, we started talking about what kind of music we like.

Damon, apparently, likes oldies music. He was currently loving a group called Dion and the Belmonts. I told him I liked the song "Runaround Sue." Which of course earned me some brownie points with a fist pump. Wow that's really stooping low...

Jeremy really likes Macklemore. He says he loves the songs "Thift Shop" and "Can't Hold Us."

Bonnie says she only likes No Doubt. Which I doubt (pun may or not be intended) because whenever I sing a song to myself she almost always says, "ooh I love that song!"

While we were talking it started to rain. Score! But I was really cold. I didn't anticipate how cold it would get!

"Damn, it's really cold." I share my thoughts with my hoodie-clad friends.

"I'm lucky, my mom made me wear my leather jacket AND a hoodie." Damon tells us.

I begin to use my binder as an umbrella.

Damon sighs loudly. "Here. Just take my jacket." He takes off his jacket to then put it on my shoulders.

*Fangirling* he gave me his jacket! That's so romantic! But wait, he still has a girlfriend, so it probably doesn't mean that much to him.

At the corner of my eye, I see Bonnie nudge Jeremy's shoulder to turn his attention to us. Jeremy is lazily chewing gum but almost spits it out when he sees the interaction between Damon and I. It's very comical.

"So," Damon says loudly trying to start a conversation. "Are we still on for the mall later?"

"Well duh, you have to! You're still my slave." I reply winking. " Are you backing out?"

"No no of course not! It's just because it raining!" he explains quickly.

"But that's the best time to go shopping!" I reason.

And it's true. After school, Damon drove us to the mall in his blue Camaro. I drag him threw the few people and into Bath and Body works.

"I thought we were going to go Christmas shopping for your friends/family?!" he panicks not wanting to "go shopping" imagine a perky girl's voice saying that last part.

"Yeah I am. Just hold my shit."

"Ooh fiesty. I love it." he's saying it with a wink.

3 minutes later...

"What about this one?" I question, shoving Twilight Woods for men in his face.

"Eh, it's okay. But if your buying it for me, I don't want it."

I laugh. "Okay? So what about...Huh! How about 'Ocean'?"

"It smells good. But may I ask, who's it for?"

"Nuh ah uh! No questions. Now hold this."

He looks at me like 'really?" I puff. " Can you please hold this?" I say a little too sweetly.

"Much better." he states. Damon then pats my head while managing to mess it up my hair at the same time.

I only buy one thing and it's kind of embarrassing. But atleast I only had to pay $11.

We head over to GAP for kids because I was looking for a stuffed animal. To be more specific, a bunny for Bonnie. We couldn't find anything so we head over to Puzzle Zoo. Damon is preoccupied looking at the voodoo dolls key chains. I find Bonnie's gift and a stuffed panda bear. While Damon still isn't looking, I purchase the items. When I ask him if he's ready to leave, he shakes his head 'no' and goes to buy the Lucky Love Good Luck Voodoo Doll. By the name, I'm sure you can realize what the charm is supposed to make you lucky with. But why does he need love luck?

"Hey so do you want to buy yourself your own jacket or are you going to steal mine to add to your collection?"

I have to laugh at that, I'm still wearing his jacket except my arms are now in the sleeves.

We walk over to American Eagle Outfitters and I put on a little fashion show!

I try on an olive color block jacket with navy sleeves. I thought it matched with what I was wearing (dark navy skinny jeans and brown combat boots). Damon just sat there in the dressing room with me, shaking his head.

I then try a brown leather jacket.

"If you're going to be wear leather, it has to be black." he state matter-of-factly. That's Damon for you. "But you do look good in it." If I'm being honest, I opt for leather because I wanted to match with Damon without being too obvious.

"I love how they probably think, we're in here like fucking but in reality we're in here snap chatting and going on instagram," Damon chuckles.

I laugh because it is probably true. There's Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" in the background and they saw both of us enter the same room.

We end up buying a black trench coat which flares at my hips and ends mid-thigh. However it's Armani not by American outfitters.

At the mall we're at, there are two parts. The main side and a smaller part across the street. So we have to go outside, in the rain, the get there.

"Yay!" I yell as a basically skip out the door. And, my clothes wont get wet because of my fabulous new coat!

Damon chuckles at my child-likeness.

"Dance with me!" I say. At first he looks skeptical and I instantly regret it. Maybe I crossed a line. Damon look right and left afterwards. He then shrugs and jumps into the space next to me.

We don't necessarily dance, we were chasing each other, like tag. I was giggling like a manic, Damon was laughing like an idiot, the whole time. Water was everywhere, getting our head and shoes wet and squishy, and I loved every second of it.

It ended all too soon. The security guards we clearing the sidewalk everywhere.

Damon just smiles at my most likely sad and shocked face. He grabs the bag I was carrying and guides us over to the other side.


A/N: sorry for the long wait! PLEASE REVIEW! :)
