DAMON'S POV

Why had Elena had a sudden interest in Stefan? Did he talk to her? Well she said he did but what did he say? I couldn't help but think Stefan was showing too much interest in her. I walked through the door and found Stefan writing in his diary.

"Oh are you writing about how you feel your brother is causing too much of a stir in Mystic Falls." I teased.

He looked up at me with questioning eyes.

"Didn't think so." I mumbled.

He looked up from his writing.

"I know you are here for something more than what you are telling me." He said.

"Hmmm." I said. "Nothing comes to mind."

He dropped his 'diary' and walked to the door.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"Hunting." He replied.

"Don't wait up for me later." I said.

He looked up at me.

"I will be with Elena." I said.

His jaw tightened and he slammed the door.

ELENA'S POV

"Bonnie I think it is a good idea." I told her.

"I don't know. Don't you think it will be weird?" she said. "You, Damon, and Stefan together."

"Nope." I replied. "Cause you will be there too." I smiled.

She rolled her eyes.

"Was this your plan to call me over to help you cook just so I could stay to make things less awkward?" she said.

"No." I replied. "It is because I love you."

She smiled.

I chopped the lettuce for the salad.

"Since when do you like salad?" she asked me.

"Never." I replied. "If I had it my way I would be making macaroni and cheese with mashed potatoes." I laughed.

She smiled.

"But." I said. "I have no idea what Damon and Stefan like so for now I will do the whole healthy thing."

"Garlic bread is healthy?" Bonnie questioned.

I smirked.

"I have to eat something I replied."

She laughed.

"So." She said while stirring the noodles. "Are you and Damon, like official?" she asked.

I shrugged.

"I think so, but I'm not quite sure."

She looked up at me.

"Has he called you?"

"He doesn't have my number." I admitted.

Her eyes widened.

"We didn't really get to the exchange of numbers part."

"You should." She suggested.

I shrugged.

"Have you kissed?" she asked.

I dropped the knife.

"Bonnie." I said appalled.

"What?" she said. "I just want to know the details."

"Well for your information, no we have not, but I'm hoping this whole dinner thing will make things come easier." I guess that was the word I was looking for.

"Well let's hope that they like spaghetti." She said.

I smiled.

DAMON'S POV

I looked at my cell just before knocking it read 6:29. Then it changed to 6:30. I smiled and knocked on the door. I heard footsteps and then the door opened. Elena was there. She was dressed in a gray skirt with a plain white tank top. It was simple but still made her breathtaking.

"Hey." She said.

I smiled.

She widened the door signaling me I could come in.

But there was one problem I had to be invited in.

I stood like an idiot.

"You can come in." she said with a smile.

I let out a sigh of relief and stepped through the doorway.

She closed the door behind me.

"Where's Stefan?" she asked.

"Oh he couldn't make it." I said. "He was busy." I lied.

She smiled.

"Oh well that's fine." She replied. "Bonnie will be joining us." She added.

I stopped for a second.

"I hope you like spaghetti." She said.

"I love it." I smiled.

She blushed and led me to the dining room table.

"Can I get you anything to drink?" She asked.

I was laughing on the inside. If I told her I could go for some human blood she would probably run screaming vampire all over town.

"No thank you." I replied.

Bonnie walked in carrying a pot.

She sat it down and then took a seat at the other side of the table.

"So." Elena said breaking the silence. "Why don't you tell Damon about your family?" She said to Bonnie.

"I'm sure he doesn't want to hear about my divorced parents." She said.

Elena sighed.

"I met about how your family had witches in it." Elena corrected.

I widened my eyes; I knew her friend looked familiar. If she was from a family of witches there was a good chance she could be one for have it in her blood.

Bonnie shrugged.

"My ancestors were witches." She said.

"Where from?" I said.

"Um, Salem." She replied.

"Really." I said. "Salem witches are very independent and powerful, they show signs of leadership."

Bonnie smiled.

Everything I had just said was true but nothing I believed. Witches were cold and judgy little things. They would do anything to keep all people safe and vampires dead.

I shifted in my seat.

Suddenly the door bell rang.

Elena's brow furrowed.

"I wonder who that could be." She said standing up.

She walked to the door and I followed behind her.

It was Stefan.

"Stefan?" Elena asked. "I thought you couldn't make it."

"Change of plans." He replied.

"Oh really." I said.

He looked up at me and smiled. Somehow he found out about this dinner party.

I raised my eyebrows.

He stood there like I had.

"Please come in?" Elena said.

"Yeah Stefan. Please. Come in." I smiled.

Elena looked up at me sensing the tension but stepped to the side to let him enter.

She led us back to the table.

"Bonnie was just telling Damon about how her family has witches." Elena said.

Stefan looked over at me and I nodded slightly.

"That is neat." He said.

"So how come you never talk much?" Bonnie asked. "You know at school." She added.

"Yeah Stefan." I said. "How come?"

He looked over at me with the death stare.

"I usually keep to myself. Not really into the whole high school drama."

Elena smiled.

"I know how you feel." She said.

I tensed up knowing she was starting to relate to him.

The last thing I needed was history repeating itself with Elena. She was nothing like Katherine and I hoped she would never have to know about Katherine. But I had thought about telling her about the vampire thing, that is if it ever came to it.

I took a bite of the spaghetti and let it slide down my throat. It wasn't the fix to the craving I needed but it had to do. I hadn't drunk since Friday and I knew I would have to.

"Well sorry about the dinner being so blahish." Elena said. "I don't cook much."

"That is true." Bonnie said.

Everyone laughed at the mention. It was awkward.

"So how far apart are you in age?" Elena asked.

I looked up at Stefan.

"About two years." He said.

"Well I can tell you both one thing you do look like brothers." Elena said.

I smiled one fake smile.

STEFAN'S POV

I walked to the kitchen leaving Bonnie and Damon to talk. Now was my chance to speak to Elena alone.

"Hey." I said as I entered.

"Hey." She replied. "Care to help with the dishes?" she smiled.

I smiled back and grabbed the dish from her hand.

"So you and Damon." She said. "Are you guys close?"

I shrugged.

"Not really." I said.

Elena frowned.

"That's sad. You know how this thing with Katherine tore you two apart."

I gasped a little when she mentioned Katherine.

Damon must have told her.

I nodded my head.

"It must have been rough for you two when she passed."

I sighed.

"More than you could know." I added.

She gave me a sympathetic look as she shut the dishwasher.

"Not to be naggy and rude." She said. "But what did you like most about her?" she asked.

"Well she was beautiful." I said looking at Elena picturing her as Katherine. "She was very intelligent and had a kind heart sometimes."

"Oh." Elena said.

"But she was too intelligent and sneaky." I added. "She had both me and Damon fooled."

It was silent for a moment.

"I'm sorry to hear that." She said. "You both loved her."

If only you knew I thought to myself.

"It's good to hear you talk." She smiled. "For a while I thought you were a zombie until earlier."

I smiled.

"Well I hope you will talk more with us." She said.

I nodded as Damon entered.

"Oh I see Stefan helped you with the dishes." He smiled.

Typical Damon.

"Yeah." She replied.

"Well I best be going." I told her.

I walked to the door.

"Thank you for dinner." I said as I closed the door.

I had made it through dinner and I found that she was caring and for some reason cared for Damon. It was good though, talking to her. I hadn't talked with someone in so long. I would speak with her again and that was a promise.

ELENA'S POV

I watched as Stefan left my house. He always seemed so dark and mysterious but now I know he is perfectly normal and friendly. I think I had just made a new friend. One that I could talk to again.

"Well I have to go." Bonnie said.

I nodded.

"Thanks for helping with dinner." I said.

"No problem." She said. "It was fun."

I smiled as she walked to her car.

Once she drove off I jogged slightly to the kitchen and pulled open the fridge.

I grabbed a plate of fries and pulled it out.

"Hungry?" I heard Damon ask.

I looked over at him. He was smiling.

"To be honest I had this stashed here all night." I giggled. "I'm not really a salad person."

"Neither am I." he said, as he walked over and grabbed a French fry from the plate.

I popped a couple more into my mouth.

"Would you like to go for a walk?" He asked me.

His blue eyes flickered from my eye to the other.

"Yes." I replied.

He stood up fully and we walked to the hallway. I grabbed my coat from the hook and we walked out the door. I stepped onto the sidewalk but he pulled me back.

"Over here." He corrected.

I smiled.

"The woods?" I asked.

"I want to show you something." He said.

I followed behind him.

He stopped and grabbed my hand.

I smiled.

"So." He said. "I'm going to give you a free pass to ask anything you want to know about me."

I raised my brow.

"Oh really." I teased.

"Yes." He said. "Anything and everything."

"Hmm are you a mass murderer?" I teased.

"I prefer the term serial killer." He replied.

I laughed.

He led me through the woods. It was night time so it was pitch dark and I had to watch my footing.

"What is your favorite book?"

"Don't really have a favorite, but my least favorite is Romeo and Juliet." He said.

"Why?" I asked.

"The whole I love you but my family won't allow it so ill kill myself thing just seems so overrated." He said.

"Okay favorite color?" I asked.

"Brown." He replied quickly.'

"Brown?" I said. "What kind of color is that?"

He smiled.

"You don't like green or blue?" I asked.

"I like brown." He said. "It's the color of your eyes."

I smiled.

He pulled me around a couple more trees and then stopped.

"Here" He said.

"Wow."

In front of me was an open field. You could see the stars in the sky so clearly.

I plopped down on the ground.

"What are you doing?" he asked me.

"My mom and I used to just lie out and look up at the stars." I said.

He lay down beside me and we both looked up.

It was beautiful. The stars were bright and there were tons of them.

"Where were you before you came here?" I asked.

"I was everywhere. Trying to find myself I guess you could say."

"And did you?"

"I learnt some but I'm still the same person."

"What did you think when you first saw me?" I asked.

"Why." He replied.

"Everyone always says that I look like the depressing girl that wants nothing to do with the world around me."

He paused.

"When I first saw you I thought why was this girl sitting alone? But then I got to know you and why you seemed so sad and I found that you are an interesting person. There is a lot to learn about you but you are definitely not depressing."

He turned his head to me and his blue eyes were making it hard to breathe.

He slowly moved his head towards me and I did the same. Our lips met and it was like an earthquake was moving through my body. His lips were soft but firm and they moved perfectly against mine.

I breathed in his breath and I could feel him smile.

I moved my hand through his thick black hair and he wrapped his arms around my waist.

He just seemed to be so passionate.

We both pulled away.

I blushed and he smiled.

"Oh shit." I cussed.

"What?" he said.

"My aunt is going to kill me. She doesn't know where I am." I smiled.

He stood up and pulled me up too.

We walked back to my house talking and of course I asked him more questions.

We finally reached the door.

"Well I had a good time tonight." I said. "Thank you for coming for dinner."

"Thanks for having me." He said.

He kissed me lightly on the forehead and walked away.

"Goodnight." I called.

"Goodnight." He replied.

I smiled and walked through the door.
