Chapter 3

Damon's POV

Elena replied "Yeah, who could forget Damon Salvatore?"

To me her voice had hatred all over it which made my spine shiver, was she still having a grudge over me pushing her off the dock? Or probably it's something else… Her brown eyes shone pure disgust; it's obvious that we're not going to get along. I shouldn't let her get to me; it's time to put my walls back up.

"Hello Elena, it's been quiet around here without you and I've enjoyed every single bit of it." I let out the famous Damon Salvatore grin.

She rolled her eyes and muttered along the lines of "fuck off."

God, she was feisty. To be honest I really missed the challenge she gave me, it was boring without her, and I missed seeing her face of annoyance when I got her back for revenge. She looked way different from 7 years ago, she had fuller breasts for sure, and she looked more like a woman… Even though she's only 24 her skin looked like she's still in her teenage years.

"How was the flight Elena?" says my fiancé

"I kind of fell asleep during the plane ride." I noticed that Elena started fidgeting, I knew my enemy too well, when she fidgets it means she's either uncomfortable or she's lying, what's up with her?

"Damon, hold Elena's bag for her, you know you have to treat women right." Katherine demanded

Before I was going to speak, Elena said stubbornly "Katherine, I'm not letting him touch my bag, I can carry it myself."

"I agree with her…for once" I clipped in but in return my fiancé gave me the evil look, and I put my hands up in surrender and gave Katherine a quick peck on the check. In the corner of my eyes I saw Elena roll her eyes; does she really hate me that much?

We started walking towards the lift; Katherine was talking about how she wanted the color scheme of the wedding to be pink and Elena was just nodding. I could tell Elena didn't like the idea because of the way she kept running her fingers through her brown, straight, silky long hair, which made me want to run my fingers through…why the fuck am I thinking this way?

I started hearing my name being called out; I turned around and saw my best man walking with his siblings. Klaus, Rebekah and Kol still kept in contact with me after graduation until now and they have been good friends to me. Elijah was just here because he was part of Katherine's "gang". I learned to tolerate everyone from the "gang" and we've even formed a friendship but Bonnie loathed me, I seriously don't know what her problem is.

Once we were all together we started greeting each other with handshakes and hugs while Elena stood with her duffel bag between her feet, crossing her arms looking bored. I saw Elijah go up to Elena and said something in her ear to make her laugh, she had a cute laugh…Wait did I just say Cute? What the fuck? What the hell is wrong with me?

Katherine invited Klaus and his siblings to just stay at the Salvatore boarding house so that when we made plans for the wedding they already know what's happening. Not to mention she practically demanded Elena to stay at the Boarding house for the rest of her stay, I agreed that they could stay, knowing that if I didn't, she would probably hold a grudge and not talk to me or even have sex.

When I thought about it, it would be a great Idea especially with Elena in the house; we could play pranks on her, just for fun. I smirked, and it would just be like old times.

We all decided to go to the grill since we were all hungry so we made our way to the cars and loaded in the luggage. Katherine wanted Elijah to be in our car since she missed everyone and want it to be like old times. I was driving; Katherine was in the passenger seat and Elena and Elijah were at the back leaving a space between them, I started the car and drove my way out of the airport.

Katherine started the conversation, "So anything interesting happening in you guys life so far?"

Both Elena and Elijah replied at the same time, "Nope." And then looked at each other and then laughed. What was so funny about saying the same word at the same time?

"Are you guys serious? Elena what have you been doing for these past 7 years?" Katherine asked

"Katherine, you know exactly what I have done these past 7 years, we talked on Skype remember?"

"Yeah but all I know is that, you have graduated from university and that you live in a very nice apartment in London. I mean, I don't even know if you have a job, or have a boyfriend, hell, I don't even know if you have pets." Katherine said panicking

Instead of Elena answering Katherine she ended up having a fit of laughter, I looked in my rear view mirror and saw Elijah smiling at Elena. Does Elijah like Elena? It seems very likely, wait, why do I care?

Katherine let out a huff of frustration and muttered the words "You're so annoying."

Once Elena recovered from her laughter, she started to finally answer Katherine

"Katherine stop panicking, we have like a month to get to know each other. And to answer your question I work for the sun a news paper that's really popular in London, no I do not have a boyfriend, and no I do not have any pets. I'm just living a normal life."

Katherine and I shared a look of confusion before commenting on Elena's boring lifestyle, "Elena, if you wanted a normal life why couldn't you stay in Mystic Falls?"

"I told you 7 years ago, I just wanted to experience a new environment; I can't stay in Mystic Falls for the rest of my life." Elena answered

"Sometimes, I don't understand you Elena." Katherine said, completely confused on why Elena left.

Elena whispered the words quiet enough for only me to hear "No one does."

I wanted to ask what she means by no one understanding her, I'm guessing there's more into why she left, not only because she "wanted to experience and new environment".

When we all arrived at the grill and sat down, I noticed all the customers' eyes on the twins mostly on Elena; I'm guessing they couldn't believe that the other twin was back. Elena looked uncomfortable where Katherine loved the attention; she kept on flipping her hair and showing off her engagement ring. That's one of the things that I felt attracted about Katherine, the confidence was of the scale, she didn't care what people say to her.

The waitress came to our table and she kept on giving me flirty looks, I rolled my eyes and I think Katherine caught her in the act so she held my hand that was on the table with her ring glistening in the light.

The waitress who was named Shelly asked her with her eyes shining jealousy, "What would you guys like to have?"

I decided to be a gentleman and let the lady's order first.

Katherine answered "I'll have green salad and a glass of water."

Rebekah answered "I'll have the same."

Elena answered "Can I please have a double cheeseburger with fries and a bottle of beer please."

"How could you eat that? Do you know how much calories are in that meal?" says Rebekah

"Who cares?" Elena shot back and glared at Rebekah. If looks could kill, Rebekah would probably be dead.

Elijah coughed to break up the argument before it escalated into something more.

All the men decided to have the same as Elena and waited for the food to come.

Once our food was in front of us I saw Elena take out the pickles and place it on the edge of her plate and made a disgusted noise. Who in the world doesn't like pickles? Oh, yeah that's right ELENA FUCKING GILBERT. Since she was sitting across from me I was able to stretch out my arms and take the pickle and plop it into my mouth.

I watched with a smirk as Elena's mouth gaped open and said angrily

"Did you just take my pickle?"

"Yes I did, what are you going to do about it?" I said taunting her

Suddenly I felt a sharp pain coming from my shin; she kicked me, I let out a yelp and next thing I knew she was the one smirking while taking a fry from my plate and plopped it into her mouth.

"Round 1 to Elena Gilbert" says Klaus

"Klaus shut up! Elena stop, your acting immature." says my fiancé and she rubbed my shin, trying to soothe the pain, I sent a triumphant smile at Elena and she rolled her eyes and glared at me.

"How did he even propose to you Katherine?" Elena asked still glaring at me while drinking her bottle of beer

"Oh, we were having sex and then he rolled off the bed to get the ring in the bedside table and proposed while lying down."

All the men gave me high 5's and praising me but the next thing you knew all the beer that Elena sipped from her bottle came out of her mouth spitting it out and landing on my John Vervatos shirt.

"Hey! This is new." I said telling Elena off.

"What did you tell Mom and Dad when they asked how he proposed?" Elena said ignoring me. How rude!

"We said the same thing; I don't know why you're acting like that." Katherine said completely confused about Elena's behaviour

I know why, Elena Gilbert hasn't had sex yet...Hmmm...I wonder why, she had a killer body with her tanned olive skin tone and her long legs that seem to go on and on... Damon you're doing it again, stop thinking about Elena like that, she's your enemy remember?

An hour later, we were at the Salvatore Boarding house getting ready to go to sleep. Klaus, Rebekah, Kol and Elijah took their places at the guest bedroom down the hall, which left Elena to take the guest bedroom which was across from mine and Katherine's bedroom; this was going to be fun. We said our goodnight's and retired to our rooms.

I took off my shirt and trousers, brushed my teeth and crashed on the bed, minutes later Katherine comes into the room, slips on her pyjamas brushed her teeth and then went under the duvet, gave me a peck on the lips and automatically fall asleep. I fell asleep thinking about the one and only; Elena Gilbert.

Mystic Falls – 2005

I walked down the stairs of the Salvatore boarding house to the kitchen where I came across my family who were sitting down eating pancakes. I took my plate and sat down to eat, from the corner of my eye I saw my Mom and Dad look at each other. My Dad cleared his throat before speaking, oh great, I'm in trouble again, fuck you Stefan; you always have to tell me off.

"Damon, Stefan told me that you took frogs and put them inside Elena's locker, is that true?"

"Maybe," I smirked at my Dad. I was going to kill Stefan.

"Damon! You are being immature. Leave Elena Alone, you two have been going on about this revenge from all those years ago can't you just call it quits?" My dad said losing his temper.

"Dad, why don't you tell Elena to leave me alone, she's the one who's reacting and getting me back." I whined

This time my Mom started speaking "Because last time I checked, you were the one who pushed her off the dock when you guys were kids, why did you push her off anyway?"

I didn't want to say the truth especially with my Dad listening; I had to make up a lie "I thought it would be fun to see her reaction."

"That was stupid, you know what, and it's your life! Do whatever you want, just don't come to me when everything blows up in your face." says my Dad

He stood up, placed his plate in the sink and walked out of the kitchen. My mum rubbed my arm and whispered "Don't worry, I'll always be here for you, but your Dad is right, Just call it quits."

"Mom, I'll only quit if she quits first" I whispered back.

She shook her head and placed her plate in the sink and walked out but not before saying "Your brother already left, so you don't have to drop him to school today. Have a nice day at school."

I stood up and walked out the door, got into my car and drove to school, not even saying bye to my parents. I was pissed and it was only 8:00.

When I arrived at school, I saw Kol Mikaelson sitting on a bench with a black eye, whoever punched him had a good aim.

I walked up to him and asked, "What happened to you there?" pointing at his eye

"I called Elena a whore yesterday and Jeremy Gilbert, her brother punched me and we got into a fight." He replied

"He got you good." I said, not making the situation better at all

"Hey, Damon could you do me a favour? I want you to gather up a crowd and tell everyone that Elena is a whore and that you slept with her. I'll pay you and plus, it makes a good revenge for her taking picture of you and Vicki yesterday at the party." Asks Kol

He was right, even though she did delete the picture; she was still going to send it to Caroline anyways and as a bonus I even get money. But why do I have a feeling this is going to turn out badly?

"Sure, do you have a speakerphone?" I said giving him a Damon Salvatore smirk.

A few minutes later, I was standing in a middle of the crowd Kol collected up, waiting any minute now for Elena and her friends to walk through the door. I saw the doors opening and watched as her and her friends mouth gape open, that's when I started speaking,

"As you may know, there have been rumors about Elena Gilbert saying that she is a whore. Well let me tell you now that the rumors are completely true, and you know how I know that? She. Slept. With. Me."

The whole hallway was filled with gasps and then turned around and looked at Elena. I couldn't believe that they think that what I'm saying is true. I started speaking again loving how I can brainwash them

"She was really good in bed, let me tell you that, she had me tired out and Damon Salvatore does not get tired especially when it comes to sex." I watched all the boys that were face towards Elena looking at her as if she were fresh meat.

I saw tears pouring out of her eyes, she took off to the nearest exit following bye her best friends. Why was I feeling sorry for her? She was my enemy; I shouldn't care about her... Then why do I feel like the biggest jerk ever? After I finished my speech the headmaster came and told us to break it up and go to class.

I ignored the headmaster's request and walked out of the school entrance and found Kol sitting on the same bench, in the same place like the last time I saw him.

"I did it, she started crying." I saw a smile broke out on Kol's face; he took out the money from his wallet and put in my hand, it was $100. Why does this feel so wrong? He walked off, not even bothering to rush to class.

I scratched my head, there's nothing I can do now, I put the money in my wallet, and I turned around and started to make my way to class. I noticed Tyler Lockwood (the Psychopath of the school) who was spitting out blood from his mouth come out from the alleyway that leads to the back of the school and made his way in the entrance. What the hell happened to him? Only seconds after I saw Elena (who had more tears flowing down her face and her cheerleading uniform ridden up a little high showing more of her thighs) run out towards the gates of the school-leaving me in front of the school entrance feeling guilty. "

I woke up, gasping for air. The memory seemed so real, that was such a long time ago. That was the only time I felt guilty. A million thoughts rushed through my head but the one thing that stayed stood out the most were… Was I the reason why Elena left?
