*Elena's Pov*

I was so happy. Cuddled up into a warm bed that I had shared all night with Damon. We did not have sex. Not yet any way. It was an unspoken agreement that the time just wasn't right. This however did not stop us from an extreme make out session. Who would of thought that something so little could leave me so breathless. When it got to the point I had to sleep to control myself Damon was delighted and insisted on spending 10 minutes spewing out cocky remarks about his sexual skills.

I Pulled myself away from my thought and opened my eyes, stretching out my body in the process. On the pillow in front of me was no sleeping Damon, to my great disappointment. There was however a box about the size of my face, Stripped with black and red all along the base topped with a Black lid and held close by a beautiful Red ribbon. I sat myself up and lent forward to retrieve the box and unleash its contents. I carefully untied the Ribbon and pulled the lid of to find a note on top of snow white tissue paper. I picked it up and read:

"Hello there beautiful,

Sorry I had to go so early, had some things to attend to. You look like an angel when you sleep and it was very hard work getting myself out of bed!

The house is empty for most of the day so, have a relaxing day and unwind! I'll be with you later. Finally I get to say the most important thing…I love you baby.

Till later my Angel xx

P.S Told you I could make you see stars. Enjoy ;D"

I grinned and felt my heart swell with adoration but that was short lived as the last line made me fear for what the box contained. I lifted the paper to find an extremely beautiful Silver necklace, the chain covered in stars. It was magnificent! The man was right. He could make me see stars.

I got myself out of bed and had a nice relaxing shower before getting my morning coffee and a croissant that apparently Damon had already fetched for me. My, my Damon was a busy bee this morning.

I bought out my copy of Nicholas Sparks 'The notebook' Grinning as I thought of how much Damon hated it, and put my feet up. I was so happy and calm when the door opened and Caroline Walked in.

"Hey Elena! Ohh the Notebook? Good choice!" she sang cheerfully as she bounded on over and sat beside me. "So sorry I could not make it yesterday for that night out! Tyler had to help his mom with setting up for his dad's memorial." I sighed. so much for relaxation. "Its Fine Caroline, really things weren't that bad anyways" She eyed me with the excitement of a child.

"Something happened didn't it! Oh come on Elena sharing is caring! Don't you care about me Elena?" Caroline asked whilst pulling an exaggerated pout. I sighed smiling at bit. As annoying as Caroline can be, you can never hold back from enjoying her presence. "Well we kissed. But then I said something silly and we argued and then he spent the whole night all over every girl! So when I did the same to this guy, he started kissing some girl and I lost it. I ran out back crying and he came after me and said he was sorry and that he loves me and that he would never hurt me." I sighed thinking of the night.

Caroline stood her mouth agape. "He said he loved you! Oh my god what happened?" She screeched. "Well we, we kissed...and I told him I love him. Then we went home and just curled up together all night. It was lovely" I said talking more to myself then Caroline as I felt a huge grin sweep across my face. I. Loved. Damon.

"Aww Elena! I'm so happy for you guys! So where is he now" She inquired with a devious look "Running some errands but he will be here later" Her face lit up "Great! This means a shopping day for us! Get dressed. You really have no choice in the matter" She grinned victoriously as I dragged myself upstairs to get ready.

Twenty minutes later we were in the car arriving at the Mall after what I can only describe as a very…enthusiastic singing session that left us both giggling. Hot days like this make me so happy. We were soon wondering around shops and spending hefty amounts of money when as we glided along I bashed into the chest of an unsuspecting shopper. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" I looked up to find myself staring at a slightly familiar face. The guy from the bar.

"Hey it's you! You ran out on me Missy" He grinned but with effort. His entire face was black and blue with cuts strewn everywhere. He had been beaten, and pretty bad by the looks of it. "Shit! Your face! What happened? Are you all right?" I asked in shock. His eyes went slightly colder then when he said "Nothing it err was erm just a bar fight. It was a long night I guess". I was very suspicious and wanted to inquire further then I remembered that I did not know this man well so I let it slide.

"So the way I see it. You owe me that Dance?" He asked with a smooth grin still plastered there. I looked to Caroline for help. "Caroline this is err the guy from the bar the other night that I told you about" I said realizing I did not know his name. "Glen" he entered helpfully. "Hi glen I'm Caroline, Elena's friend" She smiled and shook his hand. "So beautiful, How about that dance?" He smiled and took a small, sly step forward. I was about to kindly let him know of the recent events of me and Damon and move on when the guys eyes drifted over my shoulder into the crowd of the mall and widen in what looked like fear. He then walked back a few paces and stuttered "N-never mind I err…I can see your busy. Bye" He then walked off hastily without such as a glance behind him.

"That was weird…" Caroline mumbled just as confused as I was. I had a few theories on the situation but left them till later. We continued shopping for hours buying a few dresses and other outfits and also a few items Caroline insisted I buy from her favorite lingerie shop before returning to the boarding house burdened with bag after bag. When we entered the house it seemed everyone had taken up home on my couch. Watching TV sat Isobel, Jeremy, Jenna and Alaric, Who all upon my entrance turned to greet me with a smile.

"Hey Elena" They all chorused but one greeting stood out from the rest. "Hello sweetness" Damon entered the parlor from the kitchen with a grin on his face when he saw the blush on mine. I sighed. Time to get back to business. "Alright Vampires up front now!" I yelled in Disappointment as Isobel, Damon, Caroline and Jeremy all walked forward to stand in front of me looking confused.

"Which one of you injured that person from the bar last night? I will not stand for this shit you guys!" I spoke whilst eying them up. "Elena I'm sorry! I was just so mad, you were so upset and their hands were everywhere on him! And she really deserved it id say because –" I cut into Isobel's Confession. "I'm sorry, 'She' who are you talking about Isobel?" She looked confused as she spoke "That bimbo from that bar. You know the one that kissed Damon" I took a step back. Why is it that everyone I come in contact to gets hurt?

"What are her injuries?" I asked coldly. "Erm nothing much just cuts to her neck and hospitalized for a few more weeks id say" Isobel spoke timidly, something I had never witnessed before. "God damn it Isobel! What were you thinking? I don't want to have to worry about setting foot outside on the off chance someone upsets me and ends up hurt! Why don't you get that? What's worse is that now i know that there is another one of you to blame! So who was it who beat seven shades of shit out of Glen?"

They all looked confused when Jeremy spoke up "Err Elena…Who the hell is Glen?" whilst everyone nodded in agreement with Jeremy's Question. "The guy from the bar! The guy I was dancing with last night who I saw today looking kicked to shit! Someone better speak up now because I'm getting pretty fucking annoyed!" I waited whilst they all look confused before someone Spoke up "I did" I was confused when I Realized that the confession came from behind me. I spun around ready to unleash hell on the person when I realized just who it was standing in the doorway of my house. John.

"Why the fuck can nothing be simple here!" I screeched before running out the house crying. Damon close behind me. "Elena, Baby wait!"

Hey Guys, When i wrote this chapter i was thinking that it would be my last because i really didn't feel like writing it any more but i spoke to another writer on here who convinced me to continue and gave me some tips, as you may have noticed the rating has changed from 'T' to 'M' this is because when i stopped getting reviews i decided to try my hand at a different target market I have not included anything along those lines in this chapter to give people chance to stop reading if they do not want to read an 'M' rated story. I dont like emails from angry parents.
Also Just wanted to let you know that just because it is an 'M' The story line will not be changing in any way i will continue like i intended but may insert a smut scene at some point, i will not turn this into a smut full story. I will give warning (possibly next chapter).

If you guys can find it in your hearts to review this chapter i will try and upload soon thanks everyone. And finally i strongly recommend you read stories by 'Katerina M. Petrova' you can find one of her stories on my profile under 'Favorites' She is a truly great writer and is the one that helped inspire and advise me enough to continue this Story.
