Chapter 4: Cutting Loose
They pulled up to the Salvatore Boarding house, and Alexis' jaw dropped. She'd never seen anything so beautiful.
"Wow.. This is your house?" She asked Damon, who had parked his car and was standing by her door.
"Yeah, it's been in the family for a long time." Damon replied, heading up to the front door. Alexis got out and followed Damon up to the front door. They headed inside.
"Make yourself comfortable, I'll be right back." He said heading off down a hall.
Alexis walked farther into the house, seeing a living room area off to her right. She went in and looked around at the pictures and things. She sat down on the couch and waited for Damon to come back. Damon came back in, something red, which Alexis assumed was wine, in his glass.
"You like red wine huh?" She asked. Damon looked at her, confused.
"Huh?" He then looked down at his glass, which wasn't wine, but blood. "Oh, yeah, it's good."
"I've never really been a fan of it myself." She replied, glancing around the room. "You have a beautiful home." Damon raised his eyebrows, as he took a swig.
An awkward silence passed over them, as Damon drank the rest of his "wine" and Alexis stared into the empty fireplace. She heard Damon clanking glasses behind her, and figured he was getting another drink. She was starting to think that coming with him was a bad idea, after all, it was way too awkward, and the way he was drinking... She glanced upward, as Damon came over and sat next to her on the couch, two drinks in his hand. He handed her a glass.
"Thanks." He took a swig. She took a deep breath, thinking "What the hell, 1 drink can't hurt" and took a drink. "So.." She began.
"Do you want to dance?" He asked, cutting her off. She looked at him, a little shocked at his question.
"I can't dance." She replied.
"Come on, it's not that hard." Damon said, getting up and putting some music on. He started dancing from side to side, causing Alexis to laugh. "Come on." He said, holding his hand out. Alexis shook her head.
"Nope." Damon walked closer to her and pulled her up, quickly spinning her out and pulling her back in. "Wow!" She giggled, surprised that he did that. He began leading her back and forth.
"See, your dancing." He said, causing her to smile.
"That I am." The song finished and a faster song came on. Alexis downed the rest of her drink, and Damon poured her another one. She looked at him, and raised her eyebrows. He shrugged, drinking his, and started dancing around the house. She laughed and downed her drink. She let out a sigh as she began to relax, for the first time in a long time, and began dancing around with him.
"Thought you said you couldn't dance?" Damon asked, seeing her bouncing around.
"I normally don't." She admitted. "Don't like to embarrass myself."
"It's good to cut loose." Alexis nodded.
After about a half an hour of dancing, laughing, and just having a good time, Alexis and Damon sat back down on the couch, Damon lighting the fire in the fireplace. He looked at her as she sighed.
"Why were you apologizing to your parents?" He asked. Alexis looked at him, a little taken back by his question, she didn't think he'd heard that.
"It's uh, it's kinda personal." She admitted. She looked at Damon, and noticed that his pupils were getting bigger, almost as if they were drawing her in.
"Tell Me." He said, and she found herself wanting to tell him.
"Well, it's my fault they died." She replied, looking into the fire.
"Why is that?" He asked, a little intrigued now, he hadn't expected that answer.
"It was my 11th birthday, and I wanted…" She drifted off, reliving the day. Damon looked at her.
"What did you want?" He asked, once again, compelling her.
"I wanted to go to the park. My parents didn't want to take me, and later I found out that they were planning a party for me at our house, that's why they didn't want to. But I threw a fit until they took me. We were heading to the park, when a man appeared in the road out of nowhere. My dad was driving and swerved the car, making it flip. My parents were killed, and I woke up in the hospital a week later to Elena crying over me.. So it was my fault that they died… and I've had to live with that guilt ever since. I've tried to gather the courage to apologize to them, but just recently got it." She finished, wiping away at the tears that fell down her cheeks. Damon looked at her, realizing that the man that was in the road was most likely a vampire, especially since she said he'd appeared out of nowhere.
"It wasn't your fault." He said, not really understanding why he felt as though he had to help her through her guilt, since it really wasn't her fault. Alexis looked at him.
"What?"
"You're parents death, it wasn't your fault.""Weren't you listening? It was, I was the one who made them take me. It was-" Alexis cut off as Damon's lips crashed into hers. And just as quickly as they had crashed into her lips, his were gone. She looked at him, surprised.
"It wasn't your fault." He said, his pupils getting larger once more.
"It wasn't my fault." She repeated, and then shook her head. "That was unexpected." She said, referring to the kiss.
"Well, when I see something I want, I go for it." Damon replied, causing Alexis to blush. She jumped as her phone vibrated in her pocket. She quickly pulled it out, and read the text message that she'd gotten.
"Elena's on her way home, so uh, I'm gonna head back." She looked at Damon, not wanting to leave yet. "Do you want to come over for dinner?" She asked, hoping he would. She really wanted to get to know him better, especially since she'd shared a lot about herself. Damon looked at her. "I'm not that bad of a cook, and would love to have you." Damon smirked."I'd LOVE to." He emphasized. Alexis smiled.
"Great! Dinner's at 5:30, don't be late." She said, grinning. She got up and headed towards the door. "Thank you Damon, for everything." He nodded and she left.
