Kaylee P.O.V.
I awoke the next morning to the sound of my alarm on my phone going off. At least I knew that if it was my phone, I wasn't going to throw it across the room against the wall, like so many alarm clocks found out. Once I came to my senses, I realized that I wasn't in my dorm. All the memories of last night, and early this morning, came flooding back into my head. I sat up in bed in a hurry.
Only after I did this did I notice the sleeping figure next to me. Damon was still sleeping, somehow managing to sleep through Keith Urban blaring off my phone. He looked so peaceful and human when he slept. I slowly laid back down, I figured I still had about ten more minutes until I actually had to get up and start functioning for class. I stealthy cuddled back up next to Damon, I mean who would pass up an opportunity like this? I closed my eyes only for a few minutes..
I awoke to the smell of bacon. I sat up quickly realizing that I am probably late for class and I fell back asleep. Sure enough, I missed BOTH my 8:30 and 9:45 class. It was 10:30. So much for going to class today. I made my way downstairs to see Damon cooking.
"Good morning sleeping beauty. I hope you like bacon." He said grinning.
"Morning, what time did you get up at?" I asked.
"Oh, probably around 9. I knew I probably should have woken you up for class, but you looked tired and so peaceful when you slept, so I just let you sleep. What's one day of missing class?"
"Yeah, it is only one day I guess. What time do you have class?"
"Technically, I had class at 9, and again at noon and one, but I don't have to go. It's just a disguise." He said flashing me his teeth.
"You should go to class, if you're paying for it, you should go."
"Yes, but why would I rather be sitting in a classroom, with the teacher droning on and on about something I LIVED through, or I could spend the day here, with you."
"Well, when you put it that way, I think you should skip."
"Mmm…That's what I thought too." He said leaning in for a kiss. Too soon though, my stomach grumbled, wanting that bacon cooking on the stove. Damon pulled away and started taking the bacon off the stove. "Time for you to eat." He said, placing the plate of food down in front of me.
"Speaking of eating…When do you have to go…uhm…hunt?" I asked.
"Soon. Last night was a bit more than I expected. I figured you could take a shower here and freshen up while I went out. Or you could watch tv and wait til I got back for that shower." He said winking.
"Hmm. Thanks for the offer, but I am going to have to deny your request."
"But don't you want to be all go green, lets save the planet! By showering together? You are being extremely wasteful."
"I may be, but luckily for the planet, I take quick showers. And I think if we took a shower together, it would definitely take longer than both of us taking separate ones." I said smirking, knowing I had him there.
After breakfast, I attempted to do my dishes, but Damon just pushed me away and told me he would do them himself. So, I ran upstairs to go take that shower. His shower has to be cleaner than those in the dorms, disgusting. I couldn't wait! My first clean shower in over a week! You ever know that feeling of getting undressed and then you can't figure out how to work the shower? Yeah, one of THOSE kind of days. I found a towel and wrapped it around me and slowly crept into the kitchen knowing that most likely where Damon was going to be.
"Uhm, could you help me with the shower?" I asked, feeling extremely exposed in just a towel.
"You are such a little tease." He said creeping closer to me.
"No really, I don't know how to work your shower."
"Alright, let's go up and I'll show you how to use it, since you will probably be using it more than once."He said leading me back upstairs towards the bathroom. He showed me how to turn it on and adjust the water temperature. I felt like a complete idiot on how easy it actually was.
"Thanks Damon." I said, waiting for him to leave so I could get into the shower.
"Oh come on, no peep show? I did just save your life by showing you how to turn on a shower."
"Nope, now can you please leave? I don't want to waste the water you're so worried about."
"Fine, just one thing first." He said, stalking towards me with that predatory walk. Next thing I know, he picked me up and pushed me against the wall, his mouth attacking mine. I quickly returned the fervor of the kiss. My hands tangled in his hair while his hands crept slowly up my thighs under the towel. He let go of me for a second, and before my feet even touched the ground, his shirt and jeans were off. Stupid vampire speed. The bathroom was quickly getting steamy, and not just from the shower. I finally pulled away from Damon, though it was getting harder and harder to resist him.
"Damon, I really have to shower, and you need to hunt."
"Oh come on, please? Let me just help you wash your back." He said with that mischievous glint in his eyes.
"Nice try, but no. I can do it myself thank you." I said, knowing full well, if I were to say yes, things would cross the line, and quickly.
"Fine, I'll be back soon." He said kissing my forehead before leaving the bathroom.
The shower felt amazing. I loved not having to wear my flip flops in there and not be worried about getting some gross foot fungus or something. When I came out of the bathroom, there was a note from Damon on the bed.
Out to eat, We will pick up where
we left off when I get back ;)
Damon
I smiled at the note. Although I shouldn't be because he was out hunting innocent humans, but hey, everyone's gotta eat right? And it's not like he has to kill them. I quickly made myself comfy back in his clothes and cuddled up on the couch to watch some TV.
Damon P.O.V.
Walking out of that bathroom was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. But I could see where she was coming from. We only had known each other for a week or two, and we were just starting off. But that didn't mean I didn't want it to progress A LOT faster. Soon enough though, she will be mine.
As I headed out of the house, I started walking towards the main campus, hoping there was some good picking around the student center. It didn't disappoint. I soon found a girl and led her towards the woods. I was pretty excited I could lure her away so quickly, this only meant I could get back quicker to Kaylee.
Once I had my fill, I compelled her to forget everything that just happened and go back to campus. It's a good thing I am so good looking, otherwise this would be extremely hard. Once she started to walk away, I heard a twig snap behind me. I quickly spun around and saw the last person on earth I would have expected.
"Hello Damon, long time no see."
"Katherine." I said, I wanted nothing to do with this bitch. She left me. She deserved to die. And I was more than willing to do it this minute.
"I see that you have been having fun with the girls on campus." She said, looking at my bloodied lips. I simply nodded, not wanting to talk to her, I know it was childish, but oh well! "So why isn't it that you are drinking from the one you had stay at your place last night? Kaylee isn't it?" She said, smirking, knowing she had found some sort of weakness in my armor suit.
"What does she have to do with any of this?" I asked, not in the mood to play any games.
"Well, I don't like people touching what is mine, and not their's."
"I'm not yours Katherine. You lost me once I tried to save you from the tomb you were never even locked in. You left me. You had me searching for you for 150 years. 150 years that are now wasted."
"Does your little pet know about me?"
"No, and she never will. Even if she does ask about you somehow, I will just tell her you were the biggest mistake of my life."
"Well now, I wouldn't go that far. Biggest mistake, really? That hurts Damon."
"Tough shit. Now what do you want?"
"I told you, I don't like people touching my things. If I knew where Stefan was then I would kill Elena, but he escaped with her before I got the chance. I am not going to take that chance though with you and her. Leave her, or I will kill her. You have until sundown." She said as she turned around leaving. "Oh and you know I wouldn't test me on this. I am 100% serious. If you are not alone in the boarding house by nightfall, and she is off somewhere crying about how you broke her heart, then I will kill her. You of all people know how insensitive I can be, so it wouldn't bother me a bit to kill her." Then she disappeared as quickly as she came.
As I made my way back to the boarding house, I realized there was only one thing I could do. I had to tell her that I couldn't see her anymore. That she needed to leave me alone and never speak to me again. Although it was going to kill me inside, I knew I had to put on the tough exterior in order to completely pull this off. As I walked up the front porch to the door, I took a deep, unneeded breath before walking in.
She was there cuddled up with a blanket watching that stupid movie twilight, I mean seriously, at least could they get the vampires right and not have them put all of us to shame? Sparkle? Really? Are we the tooth fairy now? When she saw me enter, she immediately got up and tackled me with a hug. Once she realized that I wasn't returning the hug, she backed off.
"What's wrong?"
"Kaylee, I don't want to see you anymore." I knew she didn't believe me for a second by the look she was giving me. I really was going to break her heart. I felt like more of a monster now than I ever did before. "I only was using you to see if I could sleep with you before I drank you dry. Apparently the sleeping with you part didn't work out, and I just drank so leave before I get thirsty again."
"If you think I am going to believe that then your stupider than you look." She said, though I knew the words I said hurt her deep, she just didn't want to show it. She was strong, she wasn't going to back down without a fight. But I knew if I wanted to protect her, then I would have to scare her away again. Hopefully this time will go differently than last..I could feel my eyes darkening, and my fangs extend. Her eyes got wide and her face turned pale.
"I am going to ask you one more time to leave, before you learn what it costs to be friends with a vampire. There is no such thing as human friends to a vampire, only toys that are soon disposed of. If you do not leave in five minutes then you will be disposed of, just like every other one of my previous toys have been. Your five minutes starts now." I said.
I knew it cut her deep, seeing my face like this and me threatening her life. But she would be safe, I knew she would never forgive me for this, but I had to do what I have to do. One day she will realize that I wasn't worth it, and she will meet a man who can give her everything I can't. A life, happiness, children. They will grow old together, and die. Not one stay the eternal stud at 22, and the others body changing with age and the demands of the everyday world. Before I knew it, she was coming down the stairs with her bag and ran out the front door without even a goodbye.
I hope she knew in her bag she took the last human part of my heart with her. One day hopefully I can explain everything to her. Hopefully she can forgive me for this. Once I take care of Katherine, I will go back to her. But to get rid of Katherine, I think I need my brothers help with that one. I quickly sent him a text explaining the situation. Hopefully it will not take too long before she does move on and find someone new.
