"Heeey." Elena faked enthusiasm to the girls, though the surprise in her voice was totally legit. She was obviously happy that Katherine and Caroline had surprised her, she had missed them like crazy..but God, that was the worst timing ever! Her heart was beating so fast that she couldn't think straight about what to do.

She had a naked man lying in her bed, Damon to be specific; her supposed to be ex-boyfriend, who by the way knocked up another woman, and her sister and her best friend just waiting for her to invite them in. Shit. Katherine's knowing look didn't help at all. Double shit.

"Well well well. Bright eyes, messy hair, glowing skin, male shirt..finally someone's getting some!" Katherine smirked at her.

Caroline seemed to be confused, but after a few seconds a grin appeared on her face and she started giggling like crazy. "Oh my! Elena that's amazing! It was about time!" She clapped her hands like a high girl, and Elena could only hope that Damon had waken up and managed something, as desperate as it sounded.

"He's still here? Is he sleeping? Can we see him? Just for a second please!" Caroline begged, still all enthusiastic.

"Caroline! Are you insane? And by the way no, he left." Elena said trying to sound more convincible as possible.

"Then why are you whispering?" Katherine asked, mocking her whisper and raising one eyebrow. Elena mentally rolled her eyes, but then panic quicky took the best of her when she saw the two girls coming in. The house wasn't that big, and they quickly found her room. That was it, she was screwed. Elena buried her face into her hands as she tried to find some excuses to tell them. She was willing to tell them the truth and what was happening between her and Damon eventually, but surely she didn't want them to find out like this, putting Damon in an uncomfortable situation too. When she looked at her bedroom and at her bed, though, he was gone. Caroline and Katherine went to the bathroom, finding it empty as well. Those two sure were two pains in the ass. Doing their own business just for once was so hard?

They shrugged, and they had even the courage to look disappointed! "I was really looking forward to meet your new conquer." Caroline pouted, flopping on to Elena's bed. "Yeah, me too. Especially if he is one of those Abercrombie models that I had recommended to you!" Katherine said, flopping on to the bed too.

Elena was still anxious as hell – after all, Damon still had to be there somewhere in the room. She prayed that he didn't make noise or Katherine and Caroline suddenly decided to look into all her room. She noticed that the bed had been quickly fixed a little bit, and it wasn't the sex-mess of before. She wondered where Damon could be, though.

"I'm so happy to have you here, really. You couldn't have made me a better gift." Elena said sincerely, genuinely smiling at the both of them. She was indeed grateful. Especially Caroline knew what she had been through lately, even if Elena didn't really tell her everything these days. They were always there for her no matter what though.

"Elena, are you joking? We love you and we miss you. Since I've taken a few days off at the Grill and Katherine is still being a layabout..we've thought that a paying a little visit to you was the best we could do." Caroline said, smiling at her. So Katherine was still being a layabout? Perfect, what an inspiring sister. Elena was instead glad though that in the end Caroline decided to go for Matt. She had always preferred him over Tyler Lockwood, who just was an arrogant ass. "Thank you Caroline for pointing everything out. You sure don't miss a thing." Katherine said sarcastically. "Anyways yes, I kinda miss my little sister. Gotta say that if I hadn't had Stefan all wrapped up with me, I sure as hell would have moved with you, and then I would have gone to Abercrombie or something like that and litereally screwed a couple of those sorta models that they have as shop assistants." Katherine said all dreamily. Elena could really associate rolling her eyes with Katherine's presence.

"Okay, so. A, still with this story of the little sister? We only have 40 seconds of difference Kath, get over it. And B..eww! You're crude. Especially don't talk about Stefan like that, he's a good guy. You're lucky to have him." Elena pointed out. Suddenly there was symphaty in both of the girls eyes and Elena knew what was coming and she blushed as she remembered that Damon was still there somewhere.

"Sorry 'Lena..we know what you're going through with Damon. We know that you still miss him..and I know that he said that he hated you. That son of a bitch, I'll choke his balls the next time I see him." Katherine almost shouted, seeming really irritated.

Caroline and Elena shared immediatly a look, and Elena remembered how she had told Caroline that she didn't want anyone to know. Caroline seemed to be really surprised too, though. Katherine rolled her eyes.

"Oh yes..that. I'm nosy. When I heard Caroline talking to you, I've been spying. And gee Elena, thank you very much for counting on me!" Katherine said, rosing up from the bed and starting pacing around the room. All of a sudden that anxious feeling took the best of Elena again, and she swallowed nervousely. Katherine seemed a shark pacing around her prey.

When she opened her wardrobe, Elena almost jumped.

"Mmh..nice things. I have to say that NY really has changed your style a bit Elena..I bet that it's even because of your new bb. You want to look good for him!" Katherine winked, and Elena sighed, knowing that she was out of trouble. Well she was for now, maybe the next time she wouldn't have been so lucky, so she immediatly tried to find an excuse to kick them out of the room.

"Look girls, you're probably exhausted. What about taking a bath, or a shower, while I make some breakfast? There are two bathrooms. Take your time." Elena proposed, quickly rosing up from her bed too.

"Good idea! Thank you 'Lena." Caroline said, kissing her on the cheek. Katherine nodded and followed her out of the room. When she was sure that they were totally out of sight she closed the door and frantically began to search for Damon. "Damon?" She whispered. She heard a growl coming from under the bed and saw Damon quickly going out.

"Shit!" He just muttered. He was a mess. His hair was a mess, the belt of his pants was still unfasted and his naked chest made her want to drool all over it. She couldn't hold a giggle.

"Sorry, I obviously didn't expect them coming." She said, going to him and wrapping her arms around his waist, kissing his chest.

He seemed less pissed already. They looked into each other's eyes for a second and then he kissed her forehead, while she was expecting a kiss on the lips. "What?" He then asked pulling her hair out of her forehead, so he could look better into her eyes, seeing her disappointment.

"Nothing, it's just…I don't know what to do anymore Damon. I know what I said three weeks ago and even tonight, but at the same time I feel like I really can't breathe or live without you. God, I don't want to sound like a pathetic needy person but it's the truth. I love you, and I just don't want to lose you again. One year without you it's already been enough." She said looking at him straight into the eyes with her big doe ones. He could feel her voice broke, and a little protective smile appeared on his face.

"I was hoping for you to say this, you know? If you really thought that I was going to let you go again, Elena Gilbert, then you've been really naive. No Abercrombie model will be able to touch you." He said chuckling and kissing her unconscious tears away from her eyes.

"Really? Damon, are you sure that we're not going to make a mess out of this? What about Rose? She's even moved in with you.." She asked tightening her grip, and there was clear jealousy into her voice.

"I didn't ask her to. Believe me. She just showed up out of my door with all her stuff and I just didn't feel like kicking her out.." He said with a little bit of regret in his voice. "What I can assure you though is that no mess will happen. It's you that I love, Elena. Not Rose. I'm gonna take care of my child but not of her, I'm going to support her through the pregnancy, but that's it. It's you that I want by my side." He told her firmly then kissing her fiercely.

She could feel arousal taking form in her body as he started kissing her neck, then pulling his own shirt off her, showing her naked breasts. When he took one of them into his mouth and teased her other nipple, Elena managed to contain a moan. "Sshh. We don't want to be caught, right?" He said smirking. Elena could only nod numbly as he quickly slipped her panties off, throwing them on the floor.

He pulled her on the bed and unzipped his pants, teasing her hot core with the tip of his cock. "God Elena, you're so wet that you're even soaking the sheets.." He said huskily into her ear, nippig at it, which only caused Elena to press her thighs tightly together.

"Move and no more teasing, please!" She moaned desperately, feeling that throbbing ache between her legs.

"As you demand...but try to be quiet." He teased her with a smirk, and with one rapid thrust he was inside of her, her walls clentching perfectly around him. She wanted to scream, but she had to be more quiet as possible, even though she couldn't manage to hold a loud cry.

She felt his hard member thrusting and thrusting roughly into her, when he quickly pulled her legs up on his shoulders. Elena rolled her eyes into the back of her head in pleasure as his thrusts became deeper and faster. She was reaching her climax, and since Damon was too busy holding her legs in place and roll his own head back in pleasure while trying to hold a groan, she started rubbing her clit to make it come faster. "You're so hot touching yourself.." Damon groaned, and that sent her over the edge as they came together. They both catched their breaths for a few seconds, then Damon quicky pulled up his boxers and pants, heading her panties to her. She quickly pulled them up too, giving him his shirt that now had her smell on it too. He was now all dressed up and she put a camisole that she found on the floor on.

"I love you. I'll call you later." He said before giving her one last kiss and heading to the door. When he was out, she quickly fixed the bed – again – and opened the windows to make the air change. "I won't let you go ever again too, Damon Salvatore." She said and smiled to herself, touching her lips that were still wet from his kisses. Yeah, there was no way that she would have let him go again. They met each other again and they still loved each other for a reason, right? Elena wasn't willing to give up on her happiness, which was mostly him. She had tried many times to move on from him; but it had all been useless, it was clear. As pathetic as it could sound, he was her air, and without him by her side others win in her life would mean nothing, if there wasn't him.

A few minutes later Katherine was in her bathrobe, throwing herself on the bed. Elena tried not to laugh thinking about what had happened just minutes ago on that bed, and how her sister would have reacted.

"I really like here, you know. I was thinking about moving here too for a while..actually." Katherine said casually, brushing her long curls. This took Elena by surpsise.

"Seriously? And what about Stefan? Most of all, why did you decide this now?" She asked.

Katherine sighed. "Sweety, I want to be a model, and tell me how for the love of me I could succeed in Mystic Falls." She said laughing.

"And what about Stefan?" Elena asked again, crossing her arms. Stefan was a good guy and he had helped Katherine going through a lot, so he sure didn't deserve this kind of behavior. Not to mention that he was head over hills in love with her sister.

Now Katherine huffed in frustration. "You're so annoying! I still don't know, okay? But honestly love isn't the most important thing, you especially taught me this. You see, at first you were all depressed over Damon but now here you are. Starting your own life in New York City and with someone else by your side."

Elena's jaw dropped, even because Katherine didn't know the first thing of what was happening in her life. "What? Are you even serious? You can't be. There's no comparasion. Katherine please, tell me that you're not. Stefan loves you so much, and you love him too. You can't just turn it off like that. Does he even know about this? And who told you that I moved on from Damon, you know how I still missed him back in Mystic Falls. You're turning tables!"

"God Elena you're so pathetic, in your own little bubble still waiting for your charming prince to come. Live your fucking life and let me live mine." Katherine said coldly, looking straight into her eyes. The bitter in her voice though caught Elena by surprise. She was acting weird, and she had hurt her with those words.

"There's not once in your life that you do something spontaneously, is it? I bet that coming here was Caroline's idea, and you had just agreed so you were able to watch how things were here, and you had me as an excuse. God, you're the one who's pathetic." Elena said with the same bitterness in her voice. "Now get out of my room, please. I think that you need to rest a little." She added, trying to cover the vulnerability in her voice. Katherine smirked and shooked her head at her, going out.

Just then Caroline came in with some casual clothes on, her hair still wet. "Hey, what happened?" She asked as she saw Katherine heading out, throwing a killer glance at Elena.

"Nothing. Nothing at all." Elena quickly switched the conversation, smiling at Caroline who returned a skeptical smile.

In thirty minutes Elena was making some food, while Caroline was resting on her bed and Katherine was on the couch watching E! Entertainment, as the doorbell rang. "Katherine can you go?" Elena asked. She didn't answer, but Elena assumed that it was a yes.

"Elena.." Elijah spat out awkwardly and surprised as he saw Katherine opening the door just in her transparent thong and a bra on. Katherine smirked as she saw the man in front of her almost blushing and dropping his jaw open. He sure had a crush on her sister.

"No, I'm the cool one actually." She teased him and she was clearly amused as he was even more confused. "I'm Katherine, Elena's sister." She headed her hand at him, noticing a sigh of relieve coming from him.

"Wow..well, Elena never told me that she had a sister." He said almost seductively, checking her out from tip to toe, focusing on her transparent panties.

"Eyes here." Katherine whispered, taking his chin into her hand and making him look at her in the eyes. When she saw him swallowing nervousely, she released her grip and put on her dressing gown.

She was sure that she had turned the guy on in a few seconds more than her sister ever did in the time she had been here.

"Who was it?" Elena shouted, clearly surprised at Elijah's sight as she entered the living room. "Elijah. Hi." She just said surprised.

"Hello Elena. I've got to know your sister..well, your twin. Can I come in?" Elijah smirked.

Katherine's amused look made her somehow mad. She looked smug and proud, and she didn't even know why. She quickly invited Elijah in, taking in mind to ask him later why – the hell – had he even come over in the first place.

Damon got home with an unconscious smile on his face. He was happy. No matter how screwed-up his life could be, he still had Elena. His rock. And now for real. Hearing Elena say that she was indeed willing to take a chance on them, made him the happier person in the world.

If he hadn't understood it before, now he did; she was the most important person in his life, the most important thing. He was even sure that things wouldn't have gone always for the best, especially with Rose's situation, but he didn't care as long as Elena was in his life.

A familiar voice quickly pulled him out of his thoughts

"Where have you been." The voice just demanded coldly.

"Holy fuck Rose, you scared me." Damon said putting his hand on his heart, honestly surprised to see her there. She turned around from the window where she was standing to look at him in the eyes.

He shrugged off his leather jacket and put it on the armchair. "I left a couple of hours ago, I had to do some stuff." He quickly lied, not ready to go through the argument at the moment.

She shot him a glacial glance. "Liar. I've been here for more than a couple of hours and you still wasn't here. Now I'm going to ask it again..where have you been?"

When he didn't answer, she furiously took a lamp in her hands, throwing it at him. "I asked where the fuck have you been! Do you have another woman?" She yelled.

"Jesus Christ, have you gone insane?" He yelled too as he saw the lamp nearly taking him in the head and breaking against the wall.

"You don't get to lie to me like that, you bastard!" She shouted as she throwed the table near the couch on the floor.

Understanding that yelling too would only make things worse because she was out of her mind, Damon cautionally came closer to her, holding his hands up in surrender.

"Okay Rose, now I need you to take a deep breath and calm down." He said. "Take a seat on the couch and we're going to talk like two adults. Please?"

When she sat for good, he sat on the armchair next to her.

"Look…yes, there is someone else, and I didn't cheat on you just out of lust, I can assure you this. I didn't mean to hurt you, but truth be told, if you didn't get pregnant you could say that things between us weren't serious either way. So I'm not saying that I didn't enjoy spending time with you or that I didn't care about you..but I don't love you, Rose. We can't pretend that it's all good between us because it isn't. And you knew that I was going to break-up with you no matter what..the pregnancy had just been a holdback." He said sincerely, looking firmly into her eyes. Then he hesitated for a moment before telling her the most important thing for him. "And..I want you to know that I will take care of my child. I promise you that he or she won't miss anything. But I want to be sure that it is mine, Rose. I want you to do a paternity test. That's all I'm asking for..then you'll have my complete support with the baby." He finished. She suddenly looked upset and angry.

"You son of a bitch! You're the one dumping me in the ass, and now you even want a paternity test? You suck!" She started yelling again and throwing objects in the air.

"Look Rose, I'm not saying that I'm one hundred percent that it's not mine, but for fuck's sake, can you really blame me? It's not like I've put a ring on you and told you that I wanted kids from you. Plus, we've always used condoms and in those few times that I broke it I didn't even worry about it since you told me you were on the pill. So again, can you really blame me? We've been seeing each other for just two months for the love of me! As far as I'm concerned, you could have been pregnant even before you met me, and then for some reasons you decided to stuck me into this thing. I don't fucking know. I just want to be sure of this damn thing." He yelled exhasperately.

She looked like a psycho, taking angry breaths and heading towards him.

"Are you sure about this, my dear Mr. Salvatore? I swear to God that if you really want to go through this for good, your life and your career are ruined. I'll show you my weapons too. I'm going to publish the sex-tape with me and Andie to begin with..you remember that night where you were so fucking drunk and you wanted to do a threesome? Oh, and not to mention that in another tape you had started blabing like crazy, telling me how much you hated your job and your father for having forced you into this. It's your choice, Damon." Rose said smugly.

Damon looked speechless and disappointed. Who was this woman? How had he even let her into his life?

"You've been taping us? And how many times?" He asked breathless, shocked. "Who the hell are you?" He then asked shooking his head, and an amused look appeared on her face.

"Someone that is willing to do anything in her power to get what she wants. You can't treat me like this, Damon. You're not going to remember me as your little distraction, your little slut. So either way you're gonna take care of me and your child and shut the fuck up once and for all about this story, or your career will be ruined and everyone will laugh into your pathetic face. As I said before, it's your call, Damon." She said again before picking up her stuff and heading towards the door. Before going out for good, she took her keys, scratching the wall with them and leaving a shocked and speechless Damon behind.

Please review! :) I read and appreciate each of them!
