Chapter 13

~EPOV~

" Fine. What I wanted to tell you is… I guess I ain't getting any for a while!" Damon chuckles, sliding out of her reach, as she reaches out to hit him upside-the-head.

"Douche move." Caroline giggles "Now you are going to have a pissed off, horny, drunken fiancée, and you won't even get to ripe the benefits!"

"Caroline… Make me a promise?" Elena smirks.

"Depends… what?"

"Once I get drunk tonight, do NOT let me have sex with Damon."

"What about Stefan?"

"No matter how drunk I am… I won't be drunk enough to risk an engagement to the best fiancé on Earth."

"You know I love you, Elena… And I'm doing this for your own good!" Damon smiles, sitting beside her again. "I just… wanted tonight to be special… I have a question I want to ask you… But I'm only going to ask you if you are sober, and trust me… It is something that you will want to be sober to answer."

"Damon… Can you please ask me now? I do not want to ruin the tradition! It has been years since I had a sober Christmas… And… Christmas is not a time I really want to be sober… It's not something you would even want to see."

"Okay… this is getting a little too mushy for me, and WE need to get ready for our triple date. Damon ask now, or ask another day, because Elena can't be sober on Christmas. Not only is it tradition, but she doesn't feel ready to face it all. So please, ask before I puke and ruin all this holiday garb." Caroline smirks, crossing her arms.

"Fine. I know you said not until summer, but…" He pulls a necklace with a key hanging from his pocket, "Do you want to move in with me? Not the boarding house, but my old home. I've kept half the house in working order, and the other half… Well… That's Stefan's. And it's away form the central area that I've kept clean. And-"

"Damon. YES!" Elena smiles.

"Before you say n- Did you just say yes?" Damon's jaw drops staring at her.

"Yes! Yes. Damon. Yes." She smiles, hugging him close, she looks over his shoulder, winking at Caroline and Bonnie. They smiles, showing her 'thumbs up.'

"I love you, Damon." Elena smiles, pulling away.

"I love you, too." Damon smiles, kissing her passionately. The kiss was so passionate that the girls could see sparks flying. She pulls back slowly, caressing his cheek as he clasps the necklace around her neck.

"Okay… Uhh… Before I give it all to you, again might I add, I need to go get ready. You need to go and get out of all that black. Wear something Festive, please! But… no elves."

"Fine… I'll try and find something not entirely black. Formal or semi-formal?" He smirks.

"Semi-formal. And don't make fun of me because I dislike the word." Elena smiles, kissing him on the cheek. "I love you. Now buh-bye." Elena smiles, walking up the stairs to her room. She smirks when she hears the door shut. Bonnie and Caroline are right behind her as she runs up the stairs.

"Oh my god! I cannot believe you said yes to moving in with Damon Salvatore!" Bonnie shakes her head.

"You seemed to approve seconds ago." Elena smirks, opening her closet and her and Caroline begin looking for appropriate attire for the evening.

"I got caught up in the moment. But… Seriously, Elena. Just like… A couple of weeks ago you were all in love with Stefan, and not exactly hiding your hatred for Damon… And now you are moving in with him, and… well… ENGAGED!" Bonnie shakes her head again, sitting on the edge of Elena's bed.

"Well… The whole moving in thing is because Jenna said no sex, in a different choice of words, might I add. And I'm engaged, because… I don't know… This feels so… right! Like I finally found where I belong, and I'm not going to lose that." Elena pulls out a black and yellow mini-dress, and holds in front of her self in the mirror, before passing it to Caroline, who shrugs.

"Just remember how convincing Damon can be when he wants something… It's not always easy to say no…" Caroline looks around biting her lip.

"I won't forget and… He's changed. You wouldn't have even recognize him when he first told me he loves me… It was a side of him…" Elena pauses, looking at her friends, "That I have never seen. A side I think hasn't been seen since 1864."

"You never told us about that…"

"Well… Weird story actually… Okay… You guys remember when Rose and Trevor kidnapped me? Well… During that whole thing… I lost my necklace. And Damon showed up at me house that night, right before bed with it. I tried to take it, but he moved it out of my reach. When I asked what he was doing, he replied with 'I have to tell you something' and I was like, 'why do you have to say it with my necklace?'

~Flashback as she tells the story~

"Because what I have to say is the most selfish thing I've ever said."

"Don't go there, Damon."

"I have to say it. You need to hear it, once." He pauses a moment, moving closer to her, "I love you. And It's because I love you, I can't be selfish with you. I don't deserve you." He pauses again, "But Stefan does. " His voice changes, as he tries to compel her. "You don't remember any of this. You don't know how you got your necklace back. All you know is it's back." In a flash the necklace is back around her neck, and he is gone.

~End Flashback~

"I guess he didn't know I had been putting vervain in my pajama drawer…" Elena sighs, as she pulls out another dress, the dark blue one she wore for the Miss Mystic contest, and smiles.

"AWWWE!" Caroline coos, "That is the sweetest thing ever! And that dress.. With the memories behind it… We should shorten the skirt and you wear it tonight!"

"Caroline! You are a fashion Genius!" Elena squeals. "That would be great! Let me go see if Jenna knows where the sewing machine is." Elena jumps up, and runs over to taking her phone off the bed, dialing Jenna.

"Elena? Is everything okay?"

"Yea… Umm.. Do you know where the sewing machine is?"

"In the attic. Ask Jer, he spent a lot of time up there going through the old Gilbert Journals."

"Okay, Thanks Jenna." Elena hangs up, walking over to Jeremy's room, "Hey, Jer?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you know where the sewing machine is?"

"Yea… I'll go get it.

~45 minutes later~

"Bonnie… Why didn't we know that you are so good with a sewing machine?" Elena smiles, twirling around in the mirror, trying to see the edited dress from all angles. It seems to have came straight from Jersey Shore. ~It was ridiculously short, so that if she spread her legs, or squatted, her cuka would flash out. It was deeply cut on top, showing off as much cleavage as possible. It hugged her curves perfectly, showing off her hour-glass figure.~ She paired with black-lace-up-knee-high-flat-boots.

"You look amazing Elena!" Caroline coos, as she adjusts a black-tank-top, and floral hot-pink-mini-skirt, (much like what Elena was in earlier), and a pair of hot-pink-converse.

"We all do." Bonnie smiles, buckling the last buckle of her black-ankle-boots. She is wearing a black-mini-dress, with a yellow pinstripe down the side.

"I'll say." Jeremy smirks, as he opens the door, looking in. "Elena, Damon is here. Car, Stefan. And Bonnie… WOW!" He smiles, taking her hand and kissing her cheek.

"Thanks Jer…" Bonnie smiles, walking down the stairs hand in hand. Caroline follows, and Elena stand at the top, looking down at Damon.

Damon who was clad in a suit similar to the one he wore for the Miss Mystic, his tie is the same color of his eyes, a deep electric blue. He looks up, and see's her, his jaw drops.
