Beep Beep Beep

I groaned as I rolled over in my bed and started at my alarm clock. 8:45am…Shit. I quickly jumped out of bed and started putting on my white blouse and black pencil shirt. I started to slip on my black high heels when my phone started to buzz. Caller: Gibbs. Crap. I answered my phone.

"Elena, where the hell are you? We have another case" screamed from the other side of the phone. I quickly held the phone away from me so I wasn't deafened by his screaming.

"I'm sorry, I had a long night… the mission took a lot out of me" I breathed as I grabbed my shoulder bag and started walking out the door.

"Elena dancing with some random isn't really part of the mission". I stopped looking for my apartment keys and froze. How did he know I danced with Damon?

"I sent Tony and Ziva over for back-up" he answered after my long pause. I groaned. Those rat bags turned me in. They are so going to get some ear bashing when I get to work.

"Errr I will be there soon I promise" I said hanging up the phone. I looked all over the place for the keys and groaned in annoyance when I couldn't find them. I decided to look in my purse one last time and found them right there. Well that was a waste of my time. I quickly ran out the door and out the lobby. When I started walking I realised I was tired…really tired. I started walking in the direction of my favourite coffee shop: Starbucks when I ran into someone.

"Sorry" I mumbled embarrassed for running into someone when I heard a familiar velvet voice.

"Elena?" I slowly turned around to find myself lost in Ocean blue eyes.

"Damon" I said smiling as he went over to hug me. As I felt his muscular arms wrap around me I felt a sudden comfort that I had never felt. I quickly shook it off and Damon's arms dropped and he took a step back.

"I tried to call you but all I got was a dead line"

"Well my phone died last night and I didn't recharge it. Sorry" I lied feeling pretty stupid that I didn't get his call because I didn't feel like answering the phone last night.

"Well since you're here do you want to go grab some coffee?" My eyes widened. This was not what I wanted. I mentally kicked myself for leading him on. Damon didn't belong in my life. He could get hurt or even worse.

"Umm I'm not sure…I'm already late for work and my boss is already pissed-"

"Please…I promise it won't take too long…just one tiny coffee…Please" he begged while putting on a cute pouty face. He was really adorable…how could I reject that.

"Ok fine…but just one" I smiled as I walked with him to the coffee shop.

***AT STARBUCKS***

I laughed as Damon and I talked for ages. I felt so comfortable with him.

"So you seriously don't like TV" he said flabbergasted

"I really don't see what's so horrible about not liking TV. I just would rather sit in a comfy chair with a cup of tea reading a book" I sighed as I sipped my cappuccino

"So if you like books so much, what's your favourite book"

I breathed a laugh "Well I have many favourites: Pride and Prejudice, A Walk to Remember, Wuthering heights, Sherlock Holmes, Emma, Gone with the Wind…"

"Oh Gone with the Wind is my favourite book" he said smiling at me.

"Really! I never saw you as a bookworm" I giggled

"Well I it's an exception for me" he said. I laughed as I look at my watch.

"Oh crap now I'm REALLY late, I'm sorry I have to go" I said as I grabbed my purse and cappuccino.

"So I can I see you again…tonight" he said while standing up, just as I was about to leave. I couldn't turn him down. What would one little date possibly do?

"Ok… so you'll pick me up at seven" I said smirking as I wrote my address on his hand.

"Sounds great"

"See you at seven" I said while rushing out of Starbucks.
