Elena's Pov.
I stood and studied myself in my vanity mirror. I did not believe I was anything special. An average girl – as far as looks go. I mean, of course I had noticed the attention I had always received for my looks, all through out high school I was the object of desire to many boys and the object of envy to many girls. However it never really dawned on me that I was attractive. I always assumed that the way I was regarded was just one of those teenage things. Envious girls are everywhere in high school, envious about one thing or another and as for guys, well…that's all there really is to say. They are forever thinking not with their minds but with something else entirely. Oh how I wish I could say heart. For every damaged, normal, beautiful, short, tall, curvaceous, white, black, Asian or mixed race girl out there i wished I could say heart.
I sighed and pushed the thought away and returned to studying the girl in the reflection. I was wearing a black, strapless dress that was far too short for my liking but alas that was the dress Isobel and Damon – Much to my displeasure although even they could not stop me from wearing my black high top converse – had picked out for me. They had decided that I had been shielding myself with the thick walls of the boarding house far too long now and that I needed a dose of normal, human interaction. Which I thought was a rather unrealistic aim considering I was to be 'Hitting the town' – a fancy way of saying that we would be going to the very few dismal clubs or bars that Mystic Falls had to offer – with not one but 3 Vampires and one werewolf.
Damon and Isobel had managed to rope Caroline and Tyler into joining us for the night. I don't know how but at some point during the great disaster that was Kathryn, Tyler and Damon had, well – Bonded. When finding this out I had made many jokes to Damon comparing the two men to two teenage girls, but had received an array of glares and a pillow to the head. I didn't know Tyler all that well, not anymore. He was an entirely different person than when we were kids, so I could not show too much excitement in his presence tonight. However I was ecstatic that Caroline would be joining us. She was my Rock and if my rock needed Tyler then so be it. I did miss Bonnie and Matt but they had moved away together just after Stefan's Funeral. I would be sadder but I knew they were happy and Bonnie was Pregnant. They check in with us every so often and that's all I could ask for.
As I continued with my deep trail of thought and fixed my hair I was oblivious to the sound of approaching foot prints which caused the minor heat attack when I saw Damon appear in the mirror behind me. I gasped and span around clutching me hand to my chest as if to still my erratically beating heart, only to greet the oh so smug face of Damon Salvatore.
"My, my Elena, we do look tasty tonight don't we?" Damon said whilst flaunting his special little eye trick that sent me breathless. If I hadn't of known any better I would of thought he were compelling me but the necklace that carried my Vervain pendant and Vervain laced wedding ring that I always wore told me other wise. That and, well call me stupid but I've seen Damon compel people, wow girls, threaten a whole magnitude of people and even look at Kathryn and none of the looks he gave them matched the look that he gave me. Almost as if it were reserved just for my eyes only. Silly I know, but a girl can dream – Wait. What?
"Damon you have lived for centuries! You would have thought you had perfected the art of knocking by now or at the least learnt some common courtesy?" I said, whilst glaring.
"You would have thought so indeed Elena, however I make up for it in my amazing personality and good looks" He half sang whilst trying to frame his face in an angelic way. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't stop" Damon sighed when my laughter died down. "I'm sorry?" I asked not quite following his sudden out burst. "Your laughter. It's infectious, like your smile. When you smile, the world smiles with you. I'd give my non-beating heart to be able to make you laugh like that all the time." Damon looked down and seemed to regret the sudden confession.
I felt something. I don't know what or why but I did…and the guilt was crushing. Even now I felt like I was betraying Stefan by allowing my heart to beat so rapidly when Damon was around. It's just there was something in his eyes that made me feel complete inside. I loved the way they sparkled. I loved the way he smiled. I loved the way he spoke. I- Hold on. 'Loved' that can't be right. Can it?
The silence was weighing down heavily on me and my thoughts were driving me to insanity. I had to break the silence and let Damon know that all was forgotten. "Damon i-" My trail of speech was lost the second Damon lunged forward and Began what has to be the most passionate kiss of my life.
