Chapter 4

Elena groaned as the sun bit through the darkness of her room. She had a splitting headache, probably had something to do with the alcohol the night before. Not to mention her legs, thighs and pretty much everything south of the equator hurt. Slightly disoriented she was at first confused why she was naked then she remembered, the events of the night before came rushing back. She looked over at the boy laying beside her, so many mornings she had woken up to this boy, but never like this. Today he wasn't a boy anymore, but a man. She sighed as she watched his chest move up and down. She rubbed her face, trying to push back the tears that she knew would fall.

He must have sensed her waking up, because his breathing began to become erratic and she could see his eyes fluttering.

"Elena?" he grumbled in a sleepy voice.

"Mhmm." She replied.

"I don't regret it." He said as he opened his eyes.

"What?" she asked.

"I don't regret having sex." He repeated.

"Oh, um. I don't regret it either." She replied.

"Good, because, I think I want to do it again." He said seriously.

Elena gulped, "Damon, we… we can't. I mean I want to, but its…"

"I know, I know. We are best friends, but Elena, I think I am falling in love with you." he said looking deep in her eyes.

She was shocked, 'Damon Salvatore is in love with me?'

"I get it you, you don't have to feel the same way." He groaned as he sat up and went to get off the bed, she grabbed his hand.

"Please, I… I think I have be in love with you since we were kids… but…" she stammered, he turned to her with lust in his eyes.

'Oh shit…' she thought to herself as he pinned her to the bed again, and that's how they spent the rest of the morning, finding out every little piece of each other.

Later….

"Damon, we need to shower and get dressed, Kat is going to be home soon." Elena sighed.

"I know, I know, but I don't, I don't want to, your addicting Elena." He groaned pulling her lips to his again.

"Damon, we need to stop, please, we need to eat some time today." Elena laughed as her stomach growled.

"Damn human needs," he groaned. "Okay let's go and shower then." He said as they stumbled into the bathroom.

They agreed sharing a shower would be a bad idea, so Elena went first while Damon brushed his teeth. Then they switched off. Elena went to her bedroom and picked up the remnants of her bra from the night before and just rolled her eyes. She still couldn't believe the sexual tension that became built up between them.

When he got back to the bedroom Elena was dressed, back to her usual attire, yet for some reason it didn't stop the desire he had burning with in him.

"Damon, we need to talk about this…" Elena said.

"I know." He replied as he got dressed.

"Like what is this?" she groaned.

"I…" he didn't want to be rejected, "It can be whatever you want it to be Elena. If you want to go back to just being best friends, I am cool with that. Or if you want more, if you want to be my girlfriend…" he could feel his heart pounding.

"You, you would want me to be your girlfriend?" she gasped.

"Elena, your parents and my dad have joked for years that we should just get married, of course I want you to be my girlfriend." Damon laughed, running his hand through his hair.

"Okay." She replied.

"Okay?" Damon was confused.

"Okay I'll be your girlfriend." She smiled, his eyes went wide and then he moved quickly across the room and pinned her the wall kissing her hard.

Just then Kathrine walked in. "Oh My God!" she squealed as she saw her sister and friend making out.

"Kat! Knock!" Elena said throwing a pair of socks at her sister.

"Elena! No one cares! So, when did this happen?" Kat twirled her finger in the air in a circle around the two of them, Damon just rolled his eyes.

"Can't you keep your paws out of things that aren't yours Kitty?" he grumbled.

"No need to get all defensive Big D." Kathrine smirked. "I bet that's what Elena was moaning all night, oh yeah Damon… ugh..." Kathrine teased.

"GET OUT KAT!" Elena screamed pushing her sister out of the room.

"Hey, calm down kitten." Damon said as he hugged her.

"She has to ruin everything, all the time." Elena said crying in anger.

"Shh, babe its okay." He said kissing her forehead.

There was a soft knock on the door, "Elena… I am sorry." Kathrine said softly.

"Elena, I am going to go home okay. Dad is going to be pissed if I don't come home some time today, why you don't talk to Kat. I love you." he said taking her lips to his.

"Mmm I love you too, okay I'll talk to Kat, will you text me later?" she asked quietly.

"Of course, beautiful, you want to do something tonight? Like a movie?" he smiled.

"Yeah sounds cool," she grinned.

When Damon left Elena went to Kathrine's room.

"Hey, Kat, can I come in?" she asked quietly.

"Yeah sure. Look about earlier I am sorry.." Kathrine said sincerely.

"Its okay, I forgive you." Elena smiled at her twin.

"So you have to dish, tell me everything." Kathrine purred.

"You can't tell anyone, I mean no one!" Elena hissed.

"I promise, twins honor," Kathrine crossed her heart.

"Okay, Damon and I are dating." Elena smiled, she was not going to tell Kat they slept together.

"What!?" Kathrine squealed. "Like boyfriend and girlfriend?" Kathrine's eyes were wide.

"Yeah, like boyfriend and girlfriend." Elena grinned.

"Holy, wow, was it because of what happened in the closet? Like you guys what did you do in there?" Kathrine asked intrigued.

"He said we could just pretend, but I told him I wasn't backing out of the dare. So, he kissed me, then well he pinned me to the wall and started to hump me." Elena said desire bubbling up inside her again.

"Oh my god, no way." Kathrine said putting her hand over her mouth.

"Yeah and then when we got back home we made out again, like all night." Elena lied, it had been much more than making out.

"OH MY GOD!" Kathrine nearly screamed.

Elena blushed, "I don't know how it happened Kat, it just… well he told me he is in love with me."

"Well I can't believe it took this long!" Kathrine laughed.

"What do you mean?" Elena asked confused.

"You have been attached at the hip for the past 11 years Elena. Ever since Stefan and Damon came to town, you have been Damon's sidekick. He would never let me play the mom when we played house, whenever you got hurt he would kiss your owies, when Kol cornered you in the bathroom last year it was Damon that beat the shit out of him. I have seen how he looks at you for years, I can't believe you never saw it." Kathrine said stunned. "and I know you love him too, when his mom died of cancer it was you that helped him, when his uncle Zach committed suicide you were there to pick up the pieces, when he failed grade 10 last year it was you that convinced him it would be okay because that meant you could graduate together. Don't you see how perfect you both are for each other! Its so damn cute!" she squealed.

"Okay, okay I get it, but enough talking about Damon. How was Eli's?" Elena smirked.

"Eli…" Kathrine's eyes darted over the room, Elena could tell something was wrong.

"What's wrong Kat?" Elena asked her sister concerned.

"You, you can't tell mom and dad." Kathrine mumbled.

"I promise I wont tell mom and dad anything." Elena crossed her heart.

"I… never mind, its nothing. How about we go have a girl's day." Kathrine quickly changed the subject. Elena was going to protest but something in her sisters eyes made her stop, whatever it was that Kat was hiding

Kathrine and Elena spent the day together doing sisterly things, they painted each others' nails, talked about the hot celebrities, and made supper together.

"Thanks for the awesome day El, I really needed this" Kathrine said smiling at her sister.

"Your welcome sis, Kat, are you okay?" Elena questioned the sad look on Kathrine's face.

"I am great El, don't worry about me, we have to get you ready Damon will be here any minute and you are not going out on your first date looking like that." Kathrine motioned to all of her.

"Kat you just motioned to all of me…" Elena sighed.

"Well all of you needs work, come on let's go and get you ready." Kathrine grinned.

Two hours later, 5 outfit changes, a ton of hairspray, and a pound of makeup later, Elena emerged from her bedroom looking like a new woman.

"Damn El, you look hot." Kathrine said smacking her sister's ass playfully.

"Kat!" Elena squealed. Just then the door bell rang. 'Weird' Elena thought, if it was Damon he never took the front door or knocked.

She was shocked when she opened it, Damon was standing there in a black button-down shirt, dark wash jeans, his wild hair was some what tamed and he was holding a bouquet of her favorite flowers.

"Wow, I was not expecting this." She laughed.

Damon gulped, "Well I wasn't expecting this either." He said as he motioned to her whole body.

"What is with you and Kat motioning to all of me today, Jeez." She snorted.

"All of you is beautiful Elena." He said trying to control his urges.

Elena smiled, "Well all of you is very handsome." She replied. "Come in for five minutes while I put these flowers in a vase, then we will head out."

"Whatever you say Captain, your wish is my command." Damon joked, Elena just rolled her eyes.

Once she was back they headed out the door to Damon's car, "So Master Salvatore, where are we going this evening?" Elena giggled.

"Well I thought we could stop at the Grill for supper then go out for a movie then finish the night off skinny dipping in the falls?" Damon smirked.

"Well that sounds like a wonderful "first" date." Elena smile, the date he described was something they had done before, many times, but this time was different. This time they were not just friends anymore this time it meant so much more.
