Hey, guys. What's up? Here I am again. :))) And am I annoying already? Hahaha, just kidding. Here's a new update.
Read and ENJOY! And don't forget to review.
Katherine frowned at him, she didn't want them to find out what was going on either, but lying at her friends all the time she would spend with them now, was going to be very difficult.
Team Damon was going to work today. Elena had woken Bonnie while Damon was in the shower, they pretended to make some breakfast for themselves. And as Damon had left the house, and his car was off of the property, they followed him. They drove slowly and from a safe distance after Elena's husband. In Bonnie's car of course, Damon would have easily caught them in Elena's.
His car came to stop on the parking of the company, he got out and walked inside. Elena wasn't too sure if this was a good idea anymore, sneaking after her own husband, which good wife did this? But she had to keep going, the ring and the weird call from that young woman, something just had to be behind this all.
"Bonnie?" Elena leaned over to her friend. "Are we gonna stay in this car in forever now? Until he's back out of the firm? Because that could take some time." Elena said, raising an eyebrow at her.
Bonnie shrugged. "Seems so.."
Elena sighed, letting her hand's fall in her lap and played with her ring. This ring was the sign of love and when all this was over, she would keep it or lose it.
"Hey, I know this might seem bor..." Bonnie wanted to start but her eyes caught Damon walking out of the building again and that caught her attention. "..look!" Bonnie said to Elena.
And Elena's eyes shot up, directly onto her husband. Where was he going.
"He... he changed his clothes." Bonnie mumbled out, totally stunned at Damon walking out now in a black hoodie and black jeans instead of his suit.
Elena furrowed her brows together and narrowed her eyes as Damon walked to one of the Mercedes of the firm. "Why isn't he using his car..?" She asked, even though she knew that Bonnie wouldn't be able to answer that question.
The girls watched Damon suspicious as he got in the black car. He immediately drove off and to their pity in their direction.
"Ohhhh, fuck." Bonnie yelled and pulled Elena down with her in the car, so their head were ducked.
Damon's car passed them and just for a moment she thought Damon may be able to see them, but he didn't stop, so Bonnie calmed her own worries. If they had been caught, Bonnie would have killed herself for being that stupid. But everything was alright, and so everyone stayed alive.
"We have to go after him!" Elena broke through the silence and Bonnie shot back out of he thoughts and turned the energy on before she went after Damon's car. She always made sure that at least one car was in between them, it would have been too dangerous otherwise.
He was drying out of town, and with every minute that passed and every meter they drove, Bonnie could watched how Elena's forehead got more wrinkled. She was just frowning at the road, thinking about what the hell Damon was doing and why he drove this far away.
He had never told her about private visits, meeting out of town or anything like that. Hell, he had never told her anything about his work, if Elena was honest with herself.
Bonnie couldn't watch her friend looking that sad and angry in one and so she decided to cut the silence once more. "Where do you think he's driving?" She asked, trying to distract Elena from her own thoughts.
But she just shrugged. "I don't know."
"Hey, it'll e okay." Bonnie said. And when she looked smiling over to Elena, she almost lost Damon's car because he turned into another road. One that led into a small housing development.
Nice houses and yards, Elena thought to herself as Bonnie slowly made her way after Damon's car. From the distance Bonnie could see that he'd stooped his car and so Bonnie parked their own car behind a house and stepped out of it. "Come, we'll go the rest." she told Elena.
Elena got out as well and they made their way down the street, watching Damon standing on a door. When Elena and Bonnie arrived just close enough at the house to see everything perfectly, the door sprung open and a chubby woman greeted Damon.
Bonnie and Elena looked at each other, very confused. This couldn't be the woman Damon was sleeping with, could it? She was old and chubby and looked more like a mother. And from what Elena could hear from where they were standing, this was a completely different voice than the voice of the girl on the phone that had called her. It was all so strange and Elena just wanted to know what was up with Damon visiting this woman.
"We have to get closer!" she murmured to Bonnie. And just as she wanted to walk further, Bonnie grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"Wait!" she hissed. "Don't be so stupid, we have to wait until he's in the house, Elena!" Bonnie explained and let go of her friend again.
Elena nodded, Bonnie was right, if she stormed out there now and walked closer to Damon and the house with the weird woman, they would probably get caught. But she hated to just stand here, hiding and waiting.
Damon finally disappeared from their view and into the house. Bonnie let out a sigh and then glared at Elena. "You have to be careful.." she shook her head and took Elena's hand. "Let's go."
"Mhm.." Elena agreed and gave Bonnie's hand a light squeeze.
They ran quickly over to the house and too their luck there was a huge tree and a few bushes in the garden were they could hide behind, and they had a clear view on the window to the living room where now Damon and the woman sat. Sadly just that the window wasn't tilted, so they couldn't understand much.
They sat there and just watched Damon talking and drinking coffee all day long. Elena's ass was already hurting because she sat on only a branch of the bush they were hiding behind. But then Damon finally stood up, shook the woman's hand, handed her a paper and got out and back into his car before he drove off.
Bonnie looked up at Elena. "Elena...?" she mumbled. "Let's go home."
Elena nodded in agreement and smiled. On their way back to Damon's company, they didn't talk much, Elena and Bonnie were both tired and Bonnie was exhausted anyways because she had too sleep on the hard bed of the guest room of the Boarding House. She actually just wanted to hug Jeremy now and fall asleep on his chest.
They passed Klaus' company to see if Damon's car was still there, but when they arrived, the car was gone and the firm Mercedes was standing on the parking lot again. It seemed like he was on his way home again, much to Elena's relief. Now she and Bonnie could drive back as well.
When they arrived home, though, there was no car and no Damon.
"Where the heck is this man?" Elena asked, huffing and crossing her arms over her chest.
"I have absolutely no idea, he is like a ghost." Bonnie answered. "I really thought he would be here by now." She said, shaking her head to herself in disbelief.
"And now?" Elena looked at her friend.
"Let's sit down. You'll call him!" Bonnie stated, smirking at Elena.
The phone was laying right in front of her and after a moment that Elena was starring at Bonnie she just grabbed it and typed Damon's number in. She held it up to her ear and listened to every beep. Until Damon finally picked up.
"Salvatore?" his voice sounded darker and with a hit of absentmindedness.
Elena could hear a radio playing quietly in the background and she guessed that he was sitting in his car. That explained why his car still wasn't home, nor at the company.
"It's me.." she smiled into the phone. "I just wanted to know if you'll make it for dinner.."
Damon needed a moment to answer, but then his voice came back, even more quiet. "Nope, hard day at the office. I'm stuck in here and have to hang up now. Bye." he ended the call, the beeping was back and Elena laid the phone back down.
Bonnie took quickly her hand. "Well, he's not at the office, we know that. But where is he and what's he doing?" she asked, frowning up at Elena, who was just looking forwards out of the window.
"I don't know.."
Team Bitch had worked just as much as Team Damon today, though.
"If you want we can call her now?" Caroline asked Katherine as they sat in Caroline's living room, Madison on Katherine's lap. They had finally found out what the number was that had called Elena this one day. The name of the woman was Erika Agora. And she was married.
Katherine played with Madison's little fingers and nodded, "Do that, I'll watch her.." she murmured absentmindedly and nodded at the little girl.
Caroline smirked. "You love her, admit it!" she giggled.
Which caused Katherine to roll her eyes in annoyance at the blonde. Couldn't she just shut the fuck up, just for once? "Just call that bitch, already." Katherine noted.
"But what exactly am I supposed to tell her?" she asked.
Katherine shrugged. "Try to get out where she lives and works and stuff like that."
"Okay." Caroline said, smiled one last time and her daughter and walked out of the room with the phone.
Suddenly small tears shot up into Madison's eyes and she started to struggle in Katherine's arms. "Mommy!" she yelled, and pouted after her mother.
"Hey, hey, little one. Calm down.." Katherine turned the girl to her, holding her firmly in place. "..your Mommy will be right back." she promised her.
"But, mommy." Madison pouted. "Mwe wants Mommy." she shook her head quickly and tried to struggle out of Katherine's lap once more. But no, Katherine held her close.
"Enough.." she said and quickly bend down to grab the doll that's been laying on the ground next to her chair all the time. The lifted it up and held it to the girl as she started to talk with a highly pitched voice. "Your Mommy will be back in a second, Maddy." she laughed out, she couldn't believe it that she was doing this.
But it seemed to calm the kid, because Madison suddenly looked at the doll with big blue eyes, there was so much wonder in her look that Katherine couldn't help it but smile.
"Yeah, Mommy just needs to call someone. And then she'll be back." Katherine continued and then she took the arm of the doll and poked Madison's stomach with it.
And from then all the little cutie couldn't stop giggling.
Katherine had to lay down on the ground with her because she was too afraid Maddy would fall off of her lap from all the laughing and giggling.
Half and hour they spend like that together and she didn't even care when the girl reached up to her hair and totally messed her perfect curled locks, because everything this little being did, was too cute to be real. She was better than a puppy, Katherine thought to herself.
"I see you two have become friends." Caroline grinned as she stood in the door. "Mind if I come in?" she asked.
"Nope." Katherine laughed and let go of Maddy, who now yelled like a champion because her mother was back.
Caroline picked her up and smiled at her, before she kissed the top of her head.
"And what did you find out?" Katherine asked as she stood up and straightened her dress.
Caroline sat back down on the couch, placed Madison on her legs and shrugged. "Not much, her name is Erika Agora she lives outsides from Mystic Falls, she works at a Coffee Shop and doesn't have any kids."
"Hmm, did you ask because of the ring?" Katherine asked, a frown on her forehead.
But Caroline shook her head. "Nope. But I'll meet her pretty soon." she smirked.
"Wait, what? Why?" Katherine brought out.
"Because of the ring. I'll buy coffee from her." Caroline nodded.
Katherine narrowed her eyes at her. "So you wanna visit the store she works at?"
"Mhhmm.." Caroline answered and smiled down at her daughter.
Katherine had to think about what Klaus told her to do and shook her head. "Let me go. Erika might remember your voice..."
She didn't know what to do, but this seemed a little better to her than the fact that Caroline was going to talk to the woman.
"Okay." Caroline agreed. "Well, I have to bring her to bed now. You'll find out by yourself?"
Maddy immediately complained. "What? No bed." she yelled up at her mother.
"Yes bed." she said and picked her up before walking out of the room, leaving Katherine to herself.
Katherine grabbed her jacket and walked out of the house, as she did so, she picked up her phone out of her pocket and dialed Klaus' number in, once she sat in the car, he picked up and his voice came through.
"Yeah?"
"Hey, it's me." Katherine answered. "Who the hell is Erika Agora?" she asked him.
