The Ultimate Decision
(Chapter one)
Elena Gilbert woke up feeling like today would be a good day. She had told Stefan that she would be coming over to the boardinghouse around noon so they could spend the day together. She loved Stefan because well, he's gorgeous, kind, loving, and so much more. He's been through a lot and he deserved to be happy and she knew that she could make him happy. She got out of her bed and headed over to her closet to pick out a cute outfit to impress him. She chose a summer dress that was baby blue. The dress was strapless and it came just above her knees and wow, it really showed off those curves that she had. She knew that her curves could drive any boy crazy but it wasn't just the shape of her body. Her long brown hair and beautiful face drew any boy in. Did she mention that she had the most beautiful eyes? They were the color of lapis lazuli. They had a pure essence about them and they always had a sparkle. Elena had always been proud of her appearance and she knew she looked good. She used those looks to her advantage. She walked into the bathroom, brushed through her silky brown hair, put on just a hint of makeup, brushed her teeth, and headed downstairs. She could hear her Aunt Jenna running around all over place, obviously in a rush.
"Hey Aunt Jenna, what's up?" Elena asked.
"Oh, Elena! Good Morning! You look beautiful today, whats the occasion? By the way, have you seen that purple dress of mine? I've looked everywhere and I need to find it for my date this afternoon!" she said.
"I'm headed over to the Salvatore house in about and hour to spend the day with Stefan and about that dress...didn't you just wash it? I remember seeing you hang it up the other day. And a date? With whom may I ask?" Elena giggled.
"Stefan Salvatore? He's quite the looker." she winked at Elena, "And you're right, I'll go check my closet again. And my date is with your history teacher, Alaric. He's taking me to lunch and then I think we're coming back her to get to know one another. I'm making dinner for us." Jenna said.
"He is pretty cute and Mr. Saltzman huh? That should be fun. Remember Aunt Jenna, don't stay out to late, call me if you need me, you know the rules." she winked.
"Oh very funny Elena, mocking me on attempting to display parental authority." she was laughing now.
"I love you Aunt Jenna. Well hey, I have to get going. Don't wait up for me, I'll be home sometime late this evening." Elena said.
"Okay, be careful and I love you too. Have fun and call and check in with me sometime later. Bye!" she was running up the stairs to her room now.
Elena walked outside. I was such a beautiful summer day. Bright blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds, the sun warmed up her skin, birds were chirping, flowers were full in bloom, it was perfect and peaceful. She got into her car and started driving towards the boardinghouse. This was her first time spending time with Stefan alone and she was nervous yet excited. "Come on, you're Elena Gilbert." she told herself, "You don't get nervous with boys, you got this!" As Elena finished that sentence she realized she had just pulled into the boardinghouse's drive way. It was the most amazing house she had ever seen, it was beautiful! She got out of the car and walked towards the front door and it immediately swung open to reveal the most beautiful human being she had ever seen. His wardrobe consisted of all black from head to toe. Black smooth hair, a black shirt that revealed his well built body, black pants, and black boots. Elena tried not to let her mouth drop.
"Hello. You must be Elena, Stefan has told me all about you." he smiled and it was the most gorgeous smile.
"Um, yes...I'm Elena. And Stefan has told you about me? I'm sorry if I sound rude but...who are you?" Elena was curious as to who this gorgeous man was.
"I'm Damon, Stefan's older brother." his eyes were twinkling.
They were the most beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen, she couldn't help but stare.
"Well nice to meet you. Um...where is Stefan? I told him I'd be here around noon." she said.
"Oh, he's..out. He should be back soon. Have a seat, can I get your pretty little self anything to drink?" he let a small grin show on his face.
"No thank you. You know Stefan never told me he had a brother." she said.
"Suit yourself." he said as he poured a glass of scotch. "And you'll have to forgive my brother for not mentioning me. For some reason we aren't very close but you know what? I'm glad he found you. I was beginning to think that he would never get over Katherine. It's so great to see him so happy!" Damon was holding in his laughter and smiled at Elena.
"...Katherine...?" she looked puzzled.
"Oh...you guys haven't had the ex conversation yet huh? Well this is awkward. But hey, I'm sure its bound to come up now." he said.
"Yeah...I'm sure it will." she whispered.
"Elena, what are you doing here?" she heard a voice behind her, Stefan's voice.
As she turned to look at him he was glaring at his brother.
"Stefan! Um, I told you I'd be coming over around noon so we could spend the day together." she said.
"Oh yes, that's right. Sorry, I had to run an errand. I hope Damon didn't drive you too crazy." he said, his eyes still locked on Damon.
"No actually, he was very nice. You never told me you had a brother Stefan." Elena said.
"Hey, don't worry about it. You two enjoy your day." Damon said.
"Thank you. It was nice meeting you Damon." she began blushing.
"Nice meeting you too Elena." his eyes were locked on her as he smiled.
And then he was gone.
"Come on Elena, I would like to show you around the house then I'd like to take a walk if that's okay with you." Stefan said.
"Of course, sounds good!" she smiled and the day together began.
