Chapter Five: "I don't mind being a bad guy. I'll make all the life and death decisions, while you're busy worrying about collateral damage."

Callie sat in a booth in the bar, sipping the apple martini she ordered while dressed in a one sleeve backless dress with a zipper detail down the front of the dress. It was completely white and complimented her wavy hair. She grinned as she sat there, enjoying the eyes that flushed over her. She knew she wasn't in her element here, but by sticking out, she was actually blending in. By seeming like an outsider, with no knowledge of this town, she was saving herself a lot of questions by those in town who knew of vampires and werewolves. Sipping her drink she smiled and offered a small wave to one of the handsome boys playing pool. She grinned as she turned her head to the sound of the door opening and the familiar aroma of leather and hotness. Damon was here.

Remaining in her seat she kept her vision forward and absent-mindedly sipped her drink as he scooted into the seat across from her. She looked at him and smiled.

"Hello Damon." She said before running her tongue over the top of her martini. Damon stared at her. She was a knockout in that dress. She didn't make a point to blend in, which usually was suicide for a vampire, but it worked for her. He knew that the sheriff might wonder who she was and be weary, but he would handle that at a later date. Looking at her, his gaze wandered down to her chest. He couldn't help it, they were cushioned so nicely in that dress and then he noticed the front zipper and arched a brow.

"Undressing me with your eyes, isn't going to get you the view you want to see." She said as she finished her martini with a smile. Damon grinned and ran his hand through his hair before reaching across the table to zip the dress up all the way, which decreased her cleavage.

"You're sending the wrong message then by wearing that dress." He said before he looked at her empty glass.

"Another round?" He said, standing as she nodded to him and purposely unzipped the dress a bit to where she had it before.

"Yes please." Damon grinned and made his way over to the bar to order himself a drink and another for his date. Once he had the drinks, he made his way over to Callie who had some guy he didn't really know talking to her. Frowning, he moved over to the booth sat down next to her, since the human took his spot, and purposely took Callie's face and gave her a kiss. He then turned his head to the boy, who was already leaving the booth. With a satisfied smirk, he moved over to his side of the booth and took a gulp of his scotch. Damon then looked over to Callie who gave him a surprised look.

"What? Too forward?" He said before smiling once more and then sighing.

"Oh come on! He was totally annoying, I was saving you. Don't worry though, no need to thank me." He shot her his signature smile before she tucked her hair behind her ears.

"I wasn't planning on it. Besides, that kiss was weak. It's hardly worth the recognition." She said with a sly smile upon her face. It was true it was weak, but it wasn't bad. She enjoyed it, but she wasn't going to let him know that. Damon looked at her, he was silent for a moment, because honestly, no one had ever said that to him before. Grinning however, he took another gulp of his scotch and shrugged his shoulders.

"I'll just have to try harder next time."

"If I let there be a next time that is." Callie said smiling as she sipped her drink. She then turned and sighed.

"Can we go to your place? I'm bored of this place." She said as she wiggled out of the booth and stood up. She straightened out her dress and smiled.

"Please." She said and pouted her full lips. Damon looked at her lips and downed the rest of his scotch before he stood up.

"It would be my pleasure." He said and offered his arm for her to take. She grinned and slid her arm around his before leaving the bar.

"I sure hope Elena and my brother aren't home, or else this is going to be quite the introduction." Damon said laughing as he looked at her. He so wanted her right now. Calista looked at him and arched a brow.

"You have a brother? Who's Elena?" She said as she sat in the car her right leg crossed over her left. Damon blinked and then shook his head.

"Right, you don't live around here. I do have a brother, his name is Stefan. Elena is his girlfriend, who looks just like Katherine, the vampire I was telling you about. It's a whole mess of drama, totally high school; I won't bore you with the details." Pulling out of the drive he made his way to the boarding house. Callie laughed, throwing her head back as she did so. Her laugh right then was authentic and airy. Damon smiled when he heard it and then cleared his throat.

"Not the one for drama?" Damon looked at her.

"Not if I can help it." She said as she leaned back, her hands on her lap.

"You're just sounding better and better…" He said more to himself then her. She just smiled and then looked forward as the Salvatore house was in view. Damon sighed.

"Well they're here. Ready to meet the folks?" He joked before parking his car. Callie stepped out of the car and smiled widely.

"Very much so." She said softly.
