Chapter 2


It had taken a while for Elena to adjust to the thought of having a special agent undercover as her boyfriend. She had been single for too many years if you don't count the on/off fling with Stefan Salvatore, her next-door neighbour. Nowadays they were just great friends. It had gotten awkward for them as Stefan's high school sweetheart, Rebekah Mikaelson, moved to the same building; three floors lower than Stefan's and Elena's apartments. Elena was quite happy for Stefan as she had seen the former couple talk in the lobby. It seemed like they were in good terms and could be getting back together. Even though she could see Stefan and Rebekah belonged together she couldn't help to feel a little jealous. Stefan had been good to her and they had had wonderful time together and now she was stuck in a fake relationship with Damon Salvatore.

"Hello!" Elena snapped out of her thoughts as she saw Caroline on the doorway. "Have they given you more medication or why are you like that?"

Elena let out a small laugh. "No, no! I was just thinking…"

"Oh, you can tell me!" Caroline said as she sat down to the chair by the hospital bed.

"You can't tell anyone. And by anyone I mean everyone. You can't tell even your mom!" Elena told the blonde who was looking even more curious.

"My lips are sealed Lena." She replied leaning to Elena.

"Ok… A agent came here earlier, special agent Salvatore and apparently he'll be my bodyguard…"

"Yeah? Why is that a secret?" Caroline questioned interrupting Elena's sentence.

"You interrupted me! He'll be undercover. He'll be my undercover boyfriend." Elena waited for Caroline's reaction for a while. Soon the blonde started to laugh hysterically.

"You surely haven't lost your sense of humour Lena! Doctor Bennett was telling me something about possible personality changes and getting head hurt or something…"

"I'm not kidding and no my personality hasn't changed."

"But that sounds so unprofessional! Maybe he's just trying to hit on you!" Caroline suggested winking.

"Obviously a special agent would like to hit on a girl who's got bruises all over her body and face and who needs a security team around her because there are people who would do anything to kill her. I was thinking about a June wedding." Elena joked and made a face at her best friend.

"I think you're right…" Caroline replied tugging her golden locks behind her left ear. "I won't tell anyone." Caroline continued holding out her pinkie. Elena laughed and linked her pinkie with hers. "I promise." The young women smiled at each other and changed to lighter subjects.


"They've got Klaus now. Should we try to get him free of should we focus on the girl?" Handsome looking young man with a British accent asked the older man in front of him. They we're standing in an abandoned warehouse outskirts of the city. Most of the windows of the building were shattered and there was no extra light. Klaus had told the group not to turn on the lights. It would attract unwanted attention and that means more bodies to burn.

"No Kol. They'd get us if we tried to get Niklaus from them. He's tough so he'll be okay. Now we just need to focus on Elena Gilbert. She is at St. Michael's hospital according to my sources. There's always at least one person on guard by the door of her room and second one keeping a list of people entering the Grayson Gilbert wing. There's no way for us to get in but I definitely know who will." Elijah replied turning to a red haired woman on his left side. "You."

"Oh brother, you always know you can count on me."


Damon Salvatore was standing by his hotel bed and holding a glass filled with amber liquid he was known to be a fan of. He took a sip and enjoyed the burning feeling as the alcohol made contact with this throat. He sighed and sat down to his bed, placing the glass down to the bedside table. Damon had always been the best. Since preschool he had always been the first one to be picked to teams. After all he had an insatiable thirst for victory and even back then people could see it easily. That had gotten him this far; into a high paying occupation with only one goal – win or you'll be dead. That made men impressed and jealous and women fall into his arms. Women… Damon had never had problems with the ladies. In fact, she was quite the ladies man. He hadn't yet met a woman at a bar who wasn't willing to join him for the night. And that was the big problem.

Damon had never had a girlfriend. He didn't do girlfriends and now he had less than 42 hours to figure out how to be a boyfriend to a girl he barely knows and is constantly in the spotlight. Damon lay down to his bed not bothering to take his shoes off and ran his fingers absentmindedly through his dark hair. "How the fuck am I going to pull this off?"


"Elena, you have visitors waiting for you," Berta, one of Elena's nurses told her as she walked into her room the next morning. "Is it okay of I send them here?"

"Yeah sure! Who are they?" Elena replied sitting up. She had recovered surprisingly fast. The cuts and bruises had started to vanish and the doctor had removed the bandages from her arm. The cast on her leg wasn't going anywhere for weeks though. That meant no Pilates or yoga for ages. Elena sighed and took a sip from the glass Berta had brought her earlier that morning.

"Mr. Salvatore and his girlfriend," Berta replied checking few monitors by Elena's bed. "I'll send them up:"

"Thank you Berta!" Elena called after the middle-aged woman and placed her glass down to the table. Soon after that the door opened and a familiar head popped into the room.

"'Lena! Looking good!" Stefan said opening the door completely and revealing the tall blond behind him. He stepped in before Rebekah and dropped a plastic bag to the foot of Elena's bed.

"Hello to you too," Elena replied giving both of them a little hug. "What is this?" Elena asked poking the plastic bag.

"Oh that's for you, we figured that after three nights here you'd be more than thrilled to wear your own clothes instead of those nasty hospital gowns." Rebekah replied smiling sweetly and lacing her fingers with Stefan's. Her hair looked even more platinum than normally. It had to be because of the lighting of the hospital.

"Thank you so much!" Elena responded returning her smile and dipping the bag over. They had brought Elena's favourite pyjamas and few tank tops and a pair of sweatpants.

"So… How has your day been?" Stefan asked and pulled two chairs for him and Rebekah and sat down to one of them. The group lost the track of time and after an hour of chatting mostly about Stefan's things because there hadn't been that much of action in Elena's room. If you don't count the time when the old lady tried to escape. It was nasty and not to be shared with anyone.

"Elena, you have another visitor," Berta said after stepping in to the room. "He said he's your boyfriend…"

"My boyfriend?" Elena began just to be interrupted by Stefan.

"You have a boyfriend?!" Stefan said looking shocked. Was it really that strange for her to have a romantic relationship that actually wasn't even real?

"Yes, oh yes, my boyfriend. Of course… Let him in Berta, thank you!" Elena replied trying to look convincing.

"I never knew you had a man!" Rebekah said with a grin. "Let's see what you've been hiding!" She continued playfully slapping Elena's shoulder.

Berta left the room and soon after that the door opened and a dark featured man entered the room.

"Damon? What? You're… You're with 'Lena?" Stefan asked. Elena had never seem him like that.

"You know each other?" Elena asked glancing at each of them.

"Hello, brother…" Damon replied with a grin.


AUTHOR'S NOTE:

And here it is! The second chapter! Yay! It's a bit short but I'll make it up to you in the next chapter.

As you can see I'm kind of fitting in some of the legendary Damon Salvatore lines. I've actually went through some youtube videos and written the lines to post-it notes which are currently on my wall by my laptop. Try to spot them all in the story! ;)

Also I have an exam week now so I'll be studying really hard and won't be writing that much. Expect an update after a week or so.

I also wanna thank you guys for the likes and reviews. It makes me happy that people actually have the time to read my stuff and comment.
