EPOV

I drove home and showered quickly. I didn't bother to straighten my hair because I was late. I pulled on a black shirt and dark wash jeans. I looked in the mirror an d laughed a little I looked like a female Damon. I pulled a brush through the waves in my hair and left.

I ran into the restaurant that I was meeting Stefan in and felt under-dressed. People were in dresses and nice suits. I walked to the man behind the podium.

"Salvatore?" I said awkwardly. He glanced at me lead the way.

At the table sat Stefan and Mr. Salvatore.

"What is he doing here?" I asked, quietly when Stefan pulled my chair out.

"He wanted to come."

"Well, this is a date Stefan, two people." I said.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking."

"It's fine I guess." I said shaking my head.

"Young lady," Mr. Salvatore said. "I do not mean to be rude, but what are you wearing?"

"I wasn't thinking either. My meeting with Caroline ran a little late." I guess hanging around Damon, also affected my lieing.

Through the date, things only got worse. Stefan said so many boring things and talked mainly to his father. I eventually excused myself to the ladies room and texted Damon.

'HELP!'

A minute later my phone beeped.

'Is St. Stefan boring you already?'

'Just get me out of here!'

'Ok. give me 5 minutes.'

I put my phone away and walked back to the table. Stefan and his father were still deep in conversation, they didn't even notice my absence. The were still talking about cars. I sighed and listened until my phone finally rang.

Stefan looked up then.

"Oh, it's Jeremy. Excuse me." I answered.

"Jeremy, are you okay?"

"I'm outside. Last parking place." Damon said.

"Okay, I'll be right there." I hung up and looked up.

"Jer isn't feeling well. Jenna's out with Ric and he wants me to come home. I'm sorry." I stood and walked away, before he could protest.

Once I was outside, I ran. Damon's car was parked exactly like he told me. I jumped in and slammed the door.

"Hey, take it easy." Damon said. I jumped on him. I was kissing his cheeks and his forehead, avoiding his lips.

"Thank you! I love you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I said. He laughed.

"My pleasure." He said and started the engine. "Where is my destination?"

"Away from here!" I said. He laughed again and pulled out.

It was really quiet after that. I leaned against him and he kissed the top of my head.

"Thanks again."

"Don't mention it." He murmured.

He drove to an empty field and stopped.

"Um, where are we?" I asked, getting out of the car with him. He'd popped the trunk and was getting out a blanket and a six-pack of beer.

"Just a field." he said, walking a little way out and laying the blanket down. I laid on it and so did he. I put my arms around him and laid my head on his chest. He put his arms around me and we staid quiet for a long time.

"Damon?" I asked.

"Hm?"

"Why do you have a heartbeat?" He chuckled and shrugged.

I looked up at the stars and a shooting star flashed.

"Quick! Make a wish!" I said.

"I don't need to." Damon said softly. "You're already here."

I sat up and looked down at him. I looked down into those ironic blue eye, cold as ice, but as deep as oceans.

Slowly I leaned down, still looking down into them. He sat up a little, too. Our lips were millimeters apart when my phone rang. We jumped apart.

I looked down and sighed. "Hey Stefan." I answered.

"Where are you?" He asked.

"At home?"

"Really? Then why didn't any one pick up when I called?"

"I was with Jer. The phone was to far away."

"I texted Jeremy. He's fine. Where are you Elena?"

Damon held his hand out but I shook my head.

"Elena?" Stefan asked. "You're with him aren't you? With Damon?"

"Stefan-"

"Forget it. We through Elena." He hung up.

I closed my phone and looked at Damon. He looked ashamed.

"I'm sorry, Elena. If I'd known he'd...I would never have..." I put my finger to his lips.

"Don't apologize. now I can do this without feeling guilty." I softly pressed my lips to his.
