Chapter 9
Damon P.O.V.
I wake up with the sunlight on my face and I get up walking pass Daniela's room where I stop by the door. I open it and I see her sleeping but moving a lot so I know she is having a nightmare. I look at her clock and I see it is 7:16 so she is probably about to wake up. I get downstairs where I see my brother.
"Morning. It's Daniela in the guest room?"
"Yes Stefan it is." I say and I walk to the kitchen where I turn the coffee machine on and I start to make toasts and wash and apple.
"Why so much work?" My younger brother asks me but before I could answer Daniela enters and I see her wearing a pair of black leggings and a purple tee where you could see her black sports bra. Her hair is in a ponytail and I know she is going to run. I gave her the coffee and the toasts.
"Thank you." She says and she drinks the coffee. "And goodmorning." She says now to both of us. "Bye the way which one of you slept with Rebekah?" She asks and we look at her surprised.
"I did." Stefan says and I see Daniela looking at him surprised but I still can see a smirk on her face.
"I'm surprise, I thought it was Damon, but good for you Stefan." She says and puts the glass on the table. "Well I am going for a run. I will see you both latter."
Daniela P.O.V.
After an hour and half of running and jogging I get to the Salvatore's here I take a shower and then put a more comfortable clothes since I don't need to be at the mayor's office today so I decide to work of the company in the bedroom from my laptop. After a long time I hear a phone call and I see the ID, it is Jeremy.
"Morning Jer."
"Morning? It passes 12:30."
"I was working, I didn't notice the time passed."
"So CEO's also work, and at Saturday."
"Very funny. Now that did you wanted?"
"I am coming earlier. I will be there tomorrow at lunch time."
"Great. We can meet that the grill and have lunch together."
"Yes. I will be there at 1 pm."
"Ok. See you tomorrow little brother." I say and I can see him rolling his eyes on the other side.
"I have to pack but yes I will see you tomorrow." He says and we end our phone call and I take that opportunity to get lunch. I try in the Salvatore's kitchen but of course they don't have food in there, why would they need it, they are vampires. So I decide to go to the girl.
As usual the Grill is full with people but I find a nice table and I check the news on my tablet while I wait to be attend but every thought is about a certain dark handsome vampire. Every thought in my head seems to go to him. His eyes, his face, the way I felt in his arms after waking up in his bed. And that body of him…hum… that build body that can do amazing things .
"Can I sit?" A female voice breaks my thoughts and I look up to see Rebekah looking at me.
"Yes, of course, sit. I haven't order yet." I tell her and she sits on the table in front of me. The waitress then comes and we order or food and after some time I break the silence and start talking. "So you and Stefan, hum?"
"Yes." She says with a huge smile.
"Come on Rebekah tell me more." I tell her and the waitress bring our food while Rebekah is lost in her thoughts. "So?" I ask her once the waitress leaves.
"Stefan and I slept together in the night of the ball."
"That I already know." For a girl who always has something to say, Rebekah is very shy today. "Do you like him? I mean you did date him once."
"I do but he still into your sister by the way, I think I should make it very clear that I hate her."
"I notice that already, but thank you for telling me." I say and we both give small laughs. "But back to the younger Salvatore, you need to talk to him."
"What about my brother?" She asks me and once again I start to think about him.
"I don't know." I say eating another forkful.
"You like him? Because I know he liked you."
"He asked for dinner." I say and a Rebekah smile gets bigger.
"Like on a date?"
"Yes. He told me to call him."
"Then call." She says very excited.
"Rebekah, Jeremy returns tomorrow after that I will probably go back to New York."
"Go tonight. See how it goes, maybe you will change your mind."
"My life is in New York. My work is there. I have to go back." I tell her not wanting her to have high hope about me and Elijah.
"Take one step at time. Let's do this. I will talk to Stefan and tell him how I fell and you are going to call my brother and have dinner with him." She says determinate.
"Ok I will call him to see if dinner is still on, but I don't promise you nothing more than a dinner."
"I know." She says and looks at a table where Elena is giving us a disgusted look. "That look is for me or for you?"
"I don't know. Maybe both." I say and I notice Bonnie sitting next to her. "Just ignore her it's what I do." Most of the time at least.
"She caught me with Stefan. More like, Stefan was taking my to the door in the morning after the ball and she was there and made a huge scene about it. To be honest I didn't pay too much attention to what she was saying."
"I have an idea of what she told you. She did the same thing when I slept with Damon."
"I just don't want Stefan to go back to her already. He knows I fell something that night and I don't want to enter the grill tomorrow and see her in his arms."
"I doubt that will happen."
We do the rest of our meal in silence and after that Rebekah saw Stefan at the bar and didn't stop looking at him.
"Go talk to him." I tell her and she looks at me and I can see she is a little nervous. "I have to make a phone call to your brother anyway, don't I?" I tell her and she smiles at me.
"Thank you." She tells me and I look at her confused. "It's good to have a girlfriend to talk to." She says and I smile at her nodding and I decide to leave the grill.
Elijah P.O.V.
I hear my phone ringing when I was reading a book and I look at the ID and it is unknown.
"Hello."
"Hello Elijah, it's me Daniela." I hear the familiar voice speaking and I smile appears in my face. "I wanted to ask you if the dinner it is still up."
"Of course, when do you want to go?"
"It's tonight possible." She asks me and I smile. Rebekah talked to her.
"Of course. There is a nice restaurant 30 minutes from her. I will pick you up at 7."
"Yes. See you at 7."
When the phone calls ends and I can't help but smile, she did call me. Now I need to make it an amazing night.
Daniela P.O.V.
After what it looks like hours I finally picked the clothes and had my makeup ready and then I hear someone knocked the door.
"Come in." I scream while I put my earrings and I see Damon from the mirror and I turn to him after I was ready. "So how do I look?"
"Beautiful and sex." He says with a smile. "You're nervous."
"It's stupid I know." I say moving my hands in the air.
"It's not. You like him, it's actually very normal. So where is Mister Original taking you?" He asks me and I give him a look because he has been teasing me about the date all afternoon.
"I don't know, somewhere off town."
"So I don't expect you to come tonight." He says with a suggestive look.
"Probably not. It depends on how the dinner runs I still can screw it over."
"I doubt, just be you."
"That will make him like me." I say sarcastically and Damon gives me a funny smile.
"I like you."
"That's because I am almost the female version of you."
"Your boyfriend arrived." Damon says to me.
"He is not my boyfriend now be a good friend and shut up."
When I get to the door I see Elijah in a suit, very handsome and dapper, as usual.
"Good evening Daniela. You look beautiful."
"Good evening you look very handsome too." I say and we both walk to his car where he opens the door for me.
The first minutes of the drive are silence so I decide to turn the radio and Drops of Jupiter is playing so I sing alone with the song but softly and when I finish I notice Elijah looking at me. I didn't notice since I was looking outside from my window.
"You are very good." He compliments and I give him a small smile. "Do you always smile like that every time someone compliments me?"
"No." I say and I look at the window again. I just smile like that when he compliments me. I take a deep breath. This is so complicated.
"Are you ok?" he asks me and I turn to him again.
"Yes. Just wondering where we are going too." I tell him but I know he knows it isn't that.
"We just have more 15 minutes and we will be there. So how is working at the mayor's?"
"Boring but I finished my work Monday morning."
"You leave after, don't you?"
"That is that plan." I say looking at the window, see why this won't work. I leave miles from Mystic Falls, and oh, I almost forget I am completely fucked up. Then I hear the speaker saying that Pink Floyd is going to play and I take the sound of the radio the faster as I can
"You don't like Pink Floyd?" Elijah asks me surprised.
"It was my mother's favorite band." I say trying not to sound sad when I speak and I look at the sky for a long time, the starts are so noticeable on the sky, so bright.
"How did she die? You don't need to answer if you don't want to?"
"For a blood problem, she had lack of nutrients on her blood. She was week." I say looking at the window again trying not to let tears falling from my eyes. "I was 9 when she died. I remember like it was hours ago."
"Where you close to your father?"
"No. I didn't even know I had one until months after my mother passed away. It was when I meet him that I came to Mystic Falls."
"You didn't leave here?" He asks surprised.
"No."
"Sorry to bring it up." He says honestly.
"It's fine. I just don't talk about it." At that moment I see Elijah parking the car and opening the door to me.
The restaurant was in the borders of Richmond it look nice and elegant and when I got in I saw who elegant it was and for sure it is expensive, at least for most people in Virginia.
"Do you like it?" He asks and I see the soft light, the whispers of people talking and the soft violin playing.
"I love it." I say and the waitress comes and Elijah tells her he was a reservation and she guides us to a table for 2 with two candles and a bunch of flowers, red roses. We sit in front of each other.
"What would you like to eat?" The waitress asks us and Elijah looks at me waiting for an answer.
"You can order for me, I am sure what you will pick will be very good." I say and he orders something, I wasn't playing too much attention. As the food came the conversation start to be easier, we would talk about funny episodes of our lives and we even share some laughs. When we finish Elijah looked at me with a smile.
"What?"
"It must be the first time I see a woman eat without thinking how much calories the food must have." He says causing me to do a soft laugh that I stop immediately.
"I don't waste food besides I work out every day. So I don't need to worry about calories."
"I can see that." Elijah says and I look at him surprise for what he just said and I see he is too so I smile a little bit. "She smiles again." He says and I smile a little more.
"Bach." I whisper when I her familiar symphony playing.
"Beautiful isn't it." He says and I nod. "Your favorite?"
"It is now." I say and I take a deep breath. Don't close yourself. "When I saw younger my mother would put Tchaikovsky on our vinyl and show me the beauty of ballet. I think it is the only record we had home, but we would never get tired of it."
"You were very close to her."
"Yes. She was 19 when she got pregnant. Her family turned her backs to her and she was all alone but she still had me anyway. She died to young and I miss her." I say looking at the plate. "Every day." I say and I fell two fingers putting my head up.
"I am sure she is very proud of you." He says as our eyes meet.
"I doubt but thank you." I say with a forced smile and he's fingers play with my face and I close my eyes. It felt so good when he touches my neck where the vertebrae start and I pull away.
"Are you ok?" he asks me concern.
"Yes, just don't touch me there."
"I'm sorry, I didn't know."
"I know, it's fine." I tell him and I know the climate is ruin.
"Desert?" He asks me and I give him a suggestive look and I see him smiling. "I meant food."
"Yes." I say and he calls the waitress and I ask for a slice of chocolate cake that came with a strawberry I look at Elijah and he doesn't have food. "You aren't eating?"
"No, I am fine." He tells me and I nod and I eat the strawberry seductive looking at his face and I see him licking his lips and I eat the chocolate in the same way when I finish Elijah calls the waitress and give her a credit card.
When we get to the car Elijah pulls me against the door and kisses me hungrily and I pull me arms around him neck and we kiss until I need to breathe again.
"You drive me insane Daniela." He tells me at my ear and I shiver.
"Let's go."
