Chapter 8 – friends with benefits

I touched my lips for the hundredth time. I couldn't seem to help myself. It's been two days since the kiss happened and I couldn't keep my mind on anything else. If I hadn't pushed him away I would have succumbed to him. As I was passing walking past the door I heard the bell ring and I threw it open.

"Oh you" I said

"Someone looks really happy to see me" Damon remarked

"What are you doing here again? With flowers?" I asked

"May I come in?" he ignored what I asked

I moved away from the door and let him in and walked into the living room.

"I wanted to talk about what happened at the wedding." He started saying

"There's nothing to talk about" I said haughtily

"Elena! You know there is something between us. Just accept it."

"There is nothing Damon. Nothing. Stop being delusional. I don't know what came over me that day, maybe it was the stress."

"Oh stop lying Elena. You want me just as much as I want you. Just accept it."

"No Damon. I'm not lying. We hate each other so I'm not going to want. I never will want you either!"

"Oh really? Let's see about that!"

Saying he grabbed me to him and kissed me. I was stunned and didn't know what to do but then I gave in to it, I couldn't help it he just felt too good. I put my arms around him, but too soon he pulled away. We both were breathing hard.

"Now what do you say mia bellarosa?" he asked very softly

I laid my head on his chest trying not to cry listening to the nickname "my beautiful" I used to love listening him say it.

"This is not easy Damon. We can't do this." I said feeling defeated

He put his arms around me and rested his chin on my head.

"We'll take this slow Elena. We can't change the past; let's just see how this is going. If it's too hard for you can call it off. I'm not saying we have to start a relationship or anything we can be friends with benefits, so none of us have to get hurt again."

I sighed "ok we can try to work it out" I said lifting my face and looking at him and got a kiss.

"ok I have to go now and break up with that dumb boyfriend of yours. I planned a dinner for this weekend I'll tell you when later." And he left

He was already taking over my life

Listening to her defeated tone was not something I was expecting. This guilt is not something I've had to face for a long time. She didn't know I was doing all this for payback. But even though I'm feeling guilty I don't think I can get over this till I take my revenge.

Weekend….

I rang Elena's doorbell at exactly 8 with a box of chocolates, the flowers were getting too old. The door opened and my jaw dropped. Elena was wearing a black figure hugging dress which was just held by a knot behind her neck. God! I couldn't help it! I grabbed her and kissed her the chocolates forgotten.

"You look beautiful" I said lifting my head

"Thanks" she said blushing to her toes.

"Ready to go?" I asked offering her my hand and leading her to the limo.

Our night began as we reached the restaurant. I was actually enjoying myself after a long time. We talked and laughed and made lots of eye contact but I tried to control myself and not to enjoy too much. I didn't want to get to attached to her again. It'll be easier to send her away when I'm done.

After dinner….

I grabbed open the limo door

"Please get in my fair lady" I said smiling

"Someone's being very gentlemanly" she said

"I'm in the presence of such a beautiful lady, obviously I seek to impress!"

"Haha very funny Damon"

We got into the limo and were on our way to my apartment. Everything was going just how I wanted, now I just have to get her to my house and bed. The limo stopped and I turned to her.

"Did you enjoy the night?" I asked

"Oh yes. It was wonderful! Thank you so much for today Damon" she said hugging me.

"You're very much welcome bellarosa but a hug is not going to be enough" I said

And pulled her toward me and kissed her. she tasted of champagne and chocolate that we had for dessert.

"do you want to continue this in my house?" I asked and waited for her answer.

hey did you all enjoy it? i hope so! what do you think Elena's answer will be? yes or no? keep guessin! would love to hear from you guys about the chapter...keep reviewing! :)
