Chapter 14 (3rd person)

Slowly Elena walks down the stairs, pausing at the base to take Damon's hand. "What happened to semi-formal? I feel underdressed…" Damon murmurs in her ear, before kissing her cheek.

"Well… This is upper-semi-formal." She smiles, "You should be telling that to Bonnie. She's the one who edited my dress to this." She looks down making sure her dress is covering her cuka and breast.

"Bonnie… The dress is amazing." Damon smiles, taking Bonnie's hand, and bringing it to her lips, kissing her hand. "I owe you one." He smirks, wrapping an arm around Elena waist.

"Hello, Elena. You look quite beautiful tonight." Stefan states, taking Caroline's hand.

"Thank you, Stefan." She smiles, "Okay… Umm.. Let's hit the road." She smiles, and walks out to Damon's baby-blue Camaro. She hands Jeremy her car keys, winking. Then she walks to the passenger side of the car, and getting in. Damon gets in on the drivers and turns to her. "You know… you look so beautiful tonight." He smirks, resting a hand on her thigh. "It's almost too hard to keep my hands off you." He puts the other hand on her cheek.

"If it's so hard then why don't you do something about it?" She turns to face him, and puts a hand on his thigh. In a flash he pulls her closer, kissing her passionately. She kisses back for a few minutes, but when she feels his hand crawling up under her skirt, she pulls back, caressing his cheek. "We have an audience." She smiles, looking through the windshield at Stefan, who couldn't help but keep looking back at them.

"Come on… let's go." Damon smirks, keeping his hand her thigh, he starts the car, pulling onto the road.

"You did that on purpose, Damon."

"Maybe… but you can't tell me you didn't dress like that to flaunt what he is missing." Damon smirks, looking at her.

"Pshh… Pshh… Pshh." She blushes laying her head on his shoulder. "I love you… I just wanted to rub it in a little."

"I know Kitten. But if you want to rub it in, bad, just say the word and he'll get a show." He smirks, kissing the top of her head.

"I would, but Jer will be there. And Matt is working tonight… So… it'd be kinda bad…" She sighs heavily, "But… we will make up for it all… Tonight." She smirks, resting a hand on his crotch, rubbing her hand up and down.

"Elena… We… can't…" He fights back a moan, trying to focus on the road. "You… should… stop…"

She pulls her hand away, "Just a little sneak-peek." She smirks, as they pull up the Mystic Grill. She puts a hand on his cheek, turning him to face her. "Remember… No matter what happens… I love you."

"Why do you mean, no matter what happens?" Damon asks, confused.

"You know how I can be drunk. Just… if I say something stupid… or do something… I just want you to know I love you. And without you… I don't know what I would do." Smiles a little, looking down.

"Without me, you would still be you. You would be with Stefan and be happy."

"But I would know something was missing. I… At the beginning… I loved him… but as time went on… and we became friends… I saw what I was missing. I was missing this. I didn't have true love. I didn't have you." Smiles, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Elena… I love you." Smiles, kissing her gently.

"I love you, too." She murmurs against his lips. She deepens the kiss, before pulling away. "We might want to go get a table. I want to lay back and take you right now, but my friends are almost here."

"Why don't we wait twenty minutes, let them get here, and be fashionably late?" He said with a smirk.

"Well… I want to… but… We should get in there… I want to… really bad… but…" She sighs, "You know I do… but come on." She looks at the door, seeing Stefan walking in with Caroline. "Lets go." She opens her door and steps out, pulling down her dress.

In a flash, Damon is beside her, wrapping an arm around her. "If we must…" They walk in, walking over to the table Stefan and Caroline are at. He pulls out a chair for her, pushing her in. He sits next to her, resting a hand on her upper thigh. She shakes her head, pushing his hand off.

"Be nice, Damon." She sighs, when he moves wrap his arm around her shoulder.

"You do know me right?" He smirks, leaning back.

She sighs, shaking her head, she looks over to Caroline. "So… What's the agenda for tonight?"

"Well… Me, you, and Bon are getting drunk, like usual. But first, we will eat, then drink, then return to our respected homes and well… yeah." She smiles, as Bonnie walks in, hand in hand with Jeremy.

"I still think that is so weird…" Elena giggles, looking at Bonnie and her brother.

"Nice to see you too, Elena." Jeremy chuckles, sitting beside her.

(semi-1st person {Elena})

"Huh?" I play the dumb blonde card, as Jeremy shakes his head.

"Yea… Go ahead and act like you don't know what I'm talking about, Sis." He sighs heavily, and I can't help but notice both Jer and Bonnie's lips appearing slightly swollen, as if fresh from making out. Awkward!

"Hey… I'm happy for you guys and all… But it is weird for my best friend to be dating my kid brother." I sigh, leaning back against Damon's arm.

"Younger brother. I'm not a kid anymore, Elena." Jeremy sighs, again. Gosh… I need to tell that kid, sighing that much is not attractive. Slowly he wraps an arm around Bonnie, and I can see her blush.

"Yeah, Elena. Trust me… He isn't a kid anymore." Bonnie giggles, placing a hand on his thigh, causing him to blush.

"Uhh… TMI Bon." I groan, shaking my head.

"Okay… So… Are we ordering separate meals, couple meals, or a table meal?" Caroline asks, attempting to rejoin the conversation.

"I vote couple." Bonnie says, looking at Jer.

"Yea, uh… Me too." Jer smiles.

"Sounds good." I smile, taking Damon's other hand.

"As you wish, Kitten." Damon smirks, pulling me closer again.

"Nuh, uh, uh." I smirk, moving away, but not dropping his hand or moving his arm.

"Okay!" Caroline squeals, motioning for a waiter, but her jaw visibly drops when she see's Matt making his way over. She quickly moves away from Stefan, and attempts to look like she's not out on a date while she's on a temporary break from the high school quarterback. Unfortunately for her, she fails. Miserably.

"Hey, Uh… What can I get you guys?" I can tell he is so pissed.

"Umm… We'll have the turkey dinner." Jer speaks up.

"Us too." Damon smiles at Matt, before whispering in my ear, "Vampire-Barbie didn't tell lover-boy about her date?"

I turn, whispering back, "Guess not." I shrug.

"Umm… Us too." Caroline looks at Damon, glaring.

"Ruh-ro… Barbie heard me!" Damon stage whispers as Matt walks away, still reeling.

"Damon… You are so lucky Elena is sitting so close to you at this moment… Otherwise my coke would be on your head." Caroline growls, taking a flask out of her purse and adding it to her coke, before passing it to Bonnie, who does the same. Bonnie passes it to Jeremy, who, after adding some to his drink, passes it to me. I pour the last into my glass, taking a hearty drink.

"I really hope you brought more, Car."

"Two more flasks…" She shrugs, trying to not seem tipsy off her little bit of vodka.

"That won't last long…" I murmur.

"Well… I guess it's a good thing my trunk is full of an assortment of alcohol for you choice." Damon smirks, taking a drink of his beer. Lucky 23 year old bastard.

"What happened to not drinking before the big move?" I ask, taking another drink.

"Well… My motto is If you can't bet 'em, join 'em" He smirks.

"I though it was, That's for me to know, and you to, dot, dot, dot?" I smirk, sighing as I take the last drink.

"That's another one of 'em" He smiles, "I have more then one motto, Love." He moves close, trying to kiss me.

"What did I tell you?" I sigh, moving back. Oh, freak… I'm turning into Jer… gotta stop with the sighing!

"When was this? In the car, or at the table?"

"At the table. And don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about, Damon." I shake my head, taking the flask from Caroline, spiking my own coke.

"The lay back and take me ri-"

"No!" I blush, "The be nice part!" He chuckles as Jer chokes on his drink, and Stefan looks down, hurt. I blush, taking another drink. "Okay… Give me your key, Damon. I need more of the strong stuff."

"Ooh… get me some?" Bonnie smiles, already looking a bit tipsy.

"Me too?" Caroline giggles, more than a bit tipsy.

"Fine, but hurry back, Kitten." Damon pulls out the keys to his Camaro, handing them to me. I stand walking outside. Once outside, I pause, fumbling with the trunk.

Before I can successfully open it, I am hit upside the head and I black out.
