Chapter 20

SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE

Audrey opened her eyes and saw a different ceiling than her own. She swallowed and turned on her side, slowly. She saw Damon sleeping next to her and a smile crept on her face. He was there, living, in flesh. Last night had been, amazing; Audrey was still catching her breath. She corrected her posture and Damon opened his eyes slowly.

"Hi."

"Hi."

Audrey turned on her back and breathed. She turned around to the coffeetable and grabbed her phone. It was still early and they had fun. She exhaled and turned around.

"Late for something?" Damon asked with a smirk.

"Not really," Audrey smiled and placed her hand on his neck and moved closer. She placed her lips onto his and kissed slowly.

GILBERT HOUSE

Elena was in bed with Stefan. He was sleeping and she was carefully gazing his beautiful bonestructure. She smiled to herself because she was happy. If you didn't count the fact that Katherine didn't want them to be together.

"You're staring," Stefan said eyes still closed.

"I'm gazing," Elena protested with amusement in her voice.

"It's creepy."

"It's romantic."

Stefan opened his eyes and glanced at Elena. Then he grabbed a pillow to cover his face so Elena couldn't stare at him anymore.

"Hey!" Elena yelled and started to remove the pillow. Stefan rolled on top of her and kissed her.

"Oh, this is bad of us."

"Yes, it is." Stefan proceeded to kiss Elena's neck.

"If Katherine finds out..."

"Katherine who?" Stefan smiled and kissed Elena's lips. Finally a smiled curled up to her lips as well and she kissed him back.

KATHERINE'S ROOM

Mason rolled Katherine over on the bed. His hands explored her body making Katherine giggle as he started to kiss down on her neck and chest.

"Shhh." Katherine stopped Mason and placed her finger to his lips. He looked confused.

"Ms. Flowers will think I'm a floozy if I have a man in here," Katherine said in all seriousness.

"Why are you staying here?" Mason questioned Katherine, but she just curled a smirk.

"Because I like this little bed and breakfast, don't you?"

"I love it."

Katherine rolled on top of Mason and kissed him passionately.

SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE

Damon continued kissing Audrey and she didn't mind. She rolled herself on top of him and continued kissing. She didn't want that to end. Damon moved into a sitting position and held Audrey in his arms. He didn't want that to end either. Finally she was there with him.
Audrey giggled and placed her hands in his thick hair. Suddenly she stopped and pulled away. Damon continued kissing her on the neck and exploring her body with his hands.

"Oh no... Today is the Lockwood charity thing and I should be there decorating..." she groaned and Damon stopped. He looked at Audrey with a tiny pout.

"How long do we have?" Damon asked and studied Audrey's expression. She looked at the ceiling once again.

"10 minutes top," she sighed and placed her look to Damon. He smiled widely.

"I can work with that."

GILBERT HOUSE

Elena rolled herself on top of Stefan and they kiss until Elena pulls away.

"Okay, I, um, I need be in the shower," Elena said and ran her fingers through her hair.

"Love it, let's go!" Stefan whisper yelled. He didn't want to wake Jenna, or make her think that Elena and him were together. Katherine could find out through her. Katherine had her ways.

"No, just me. I'm late. I'm decorating at the Lockwood charity thing."

"Well, what do you know. So am I."

"You think that's really a good idea to be at their house today? Mason Lockwood tried to kill you."

KATHERINE'S ROOM

Katherine laughed and pushed Mason down on the bed. Mason was a good guy, and Katherine loved making him in love with her. She kissed his chest; Mason laughed. Then she stopped kissing and looked down at him, seriously.

"Where is the moonstone?" Katherine asked with an arch of her brow. She didn't like trusting the moonstone with Mason. Because anything could happen.

"Somewhere safe." Mason said with a poker face. Katherine didn't like the fact that he didn't give the location of the moonstone to her. It made her feel... unsafe.

"Don't you trust me?" she cocked her head.

"I don't trust anyone."

SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE

Audrey giggled as Damon made her fall on the bed. He attacked on her and explores her body wildly with his hands.

"Damon! Caroline is sleeping on the couch," Audrey said unevenly as she tried to not giggle. Damon crashed his lips onto Audrey's and smiled to the kiss. He retrieved from it and gazed her.

"No she isn't I heard her leave earlier," he said and started kissing Audrey's chest and neck.

"Well her mother is in the basement!" she tried but Damon just rose his head up and smiled goofyly. "What's with that smile?" Audrey asked and toyed with his hair.

"I'm happy."

GILBERT HOUSE

"I don't trust Mason. I want to be there today to keep an eye on him," Stefan told Elena who was reaching to her table. He was carefully watching her every move.

"Okay." Elena picked up a needle from the end of the table and sat up. "But then we can't touch or talk and no lingering stares."

"No, none of that."

"What do you think will happen if Katherine finds out that we were fake fighting?"

KATHERINE'S ROOM

"You scared I'm gonna kill you?" Katherine asked and bit gently her lip.

"No, you won't." Mason seemed sure about that so Katherine kissed him. She pushed his chin up and as she kissed his neck she bit him.

"Ow! Kath, easy! Your freaky doppelgänger already got a bite of me yesterday..." He complained and Katherine looked at him.

"Did I hurt you? Sorry."

SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE

"So I really should get going..." Audrey tried to raise from the bed but Damon had his hands on her hips. Audrey smiled.

"Just be careful, okay?"

"What, why?"

"Mason knows what you are. Don't let him get to you," Damon said.

"But I'm your warrior princess, remember?"

Damon jus smiled like an idiot.

GILBERT HOUSE

Elena pricked the tip of her finger with the pointy needle. "Ow."

"Did it hurt?" Stefan asked worried.

"It's okay. A little bit every day to make you stronger, right?" Elena said as Stefan took her finger and drank the tiniest amount of Elena's blood.

KATHERINE'S ROOM

Katherine licked the blood off of Mason's neck.

"What happens once I give you the moonstone?" Mason asked with a swallow.

"We'll live happily ever after. I promise."

"I'll bring it tonight, I promise."

Katherine lied so smoothly.

GILBERT HOUSE

"I promise you, we're gonna get through this." Stefan gazed at Elena.

"I love you, Stefan."

KATHERINE'S ROOM

"You know I love you."

"I love you too."

SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE

Audrey gazed at Damon and bit her lip.

"I think I'm falling in love with you."
