Chapter 12

The early morning sunrays peaked into the hotel room where a tired Elena and Damon lay tangled in sheets and each other's arms. Elena's body was curled around Damon as he lay on his back in the middle of the bed. Her head rested on her pillow but the bridge of her nose was pressed against Damon's naked shoulder inhaling his scent while his head was leaning towards her forehead. They both had a hand resting on Damon's chest and their fingers intertwined.

Elena was the first to stir in her sleep and her tired eyes fluttered open. She was a little disoriented and it took her a moment to realize where she was. Lifting her head from her pillow, Elena glanced around the quiet room and the empty bed on the other side of the room; Kol had obviously not dared to venture inside. Elena gently unlinked her fingers with Damon and ran them through her hair while she stared down at a peaceful sleeping Damon. Licking her lips she smiled at him and slowly leaned down to tenderly leave a trail of kisses down his chest and torso.

Damon let out a tired moan as his was woken by her kisses on his body and when he opened his eyes to look at her she had a big smile on her face. Damon too smiled and his arms reached out for her to pulled her back up as she giggled so that he could give her a proper good morning kiss. Moving up his body, Elena climbed on top of him so that their naked bodies were pressed together as her lushes lips captured his own. His hands trailed up and down her naked back while he let out a moan of pleasure. When Elena pulled back from the kiss her one hand was running through his hair.

"Morning" she told him with a big smile and then her face fell to kiss his neck and collarbone.

Damon let out another moan as he wrapped his arms around her tighter and lay his head back to enjoy the sense of pleasure she was giving him. He was so tired but with her lips all over his body he knew that neither of them would be sleeping anytime soon "How do you have so much energy for someone who got less then two hours of sleep?" Damon mumbled while Elena moved back up his body to capture his lips again.

She let out a giggled before she tenderly kissing his lips and let her tongue slip into his mouth. They both let out groans of pleasure as their hands touch whatever part of the others body they could. When Elena pulled her lips away her eyes stayed gazing into his. "Do you want to sleep right now?" she asked him with a smile.

Before answering her, Damon swiftly rolled them over so that he was now pinning her down on the mattress. "You know just because I had a box of 36 condoms doesn't mean we have to finish it in one night" Damon teased her as he reached into the box that definitely had a lot less then it had the night before. It had been a pretty sleepless night by choice, as the two couldn't seem to get enough of each other. The sex was so addicting that they woke each other up in the middle of the night a number of times to reclaim that high their bodies gave each other. With a smirk on his face Damon stared down at Elena underneath him and after a tender kiss he trails down Elena's body and went under the covers as Elena lay there with her mouth open and moaning with pleasure with every touch his hands and mouth did to her.

Coming down from their high, the two of them lay with the sheet falling over their glistening bodies. Focused on bringing her breathing back to normal, Elena was resting her head on Damon's chest as her one hands moved up and down his torso as he too was trying to bring his breathing back to normal. "What time is it?" Elena asked him still sounding a little out of breath.

Damon not wanting to move, he reached his arm out from his spot on the bed and tried to grab his phone. After nudging it a little closer to him he was able to get a hold of it and brought it over to check the time. "Just after 7am" he told her.

Nodding Elena moved her head to plant a kiss on his chest before falling back into place of lying on his chest and running her fingers up and down his torso. "When do we have to leave?" she asked him knowing that today they would be heading off.

Damon let out a tired sigh as his fingers made their way through her soft long brown hair as it draped over her naked back and on his shoulder. "I can call the tow truck in an hour and hopefully we can get a new tire and be on the road by ten" he told her and then leaned down to press a kiss to the top of her head.

Elena gave a nod without lifting her head from his chest and looked over at the empty bed on the other side of the room. She was still a little surprised that Kol hadn't come knocking at the locked door wanting in but at the same time to was happy because that meant the two of them wouldn't be forced to explain what was going on. "I'm a little surprised Kol didn't come back last night" Elena told him as she lifted her head to look at Damon.

"He's probably pass out in front of the door" Damon replied as he glanced towards the door. He too was glad Kol had stayed away not only because of his and Elena's busy night but also it put off more people know what they were doing until they were ready to let the others know.

"What are we going to do?" Elena asked him in a troubled tone and then pressed a few kisses to his chest.

Damon lay there for a moment in silence and then as smirk crept onto his face his hands slowly started to down her back and along her thighs teasingly. "I have an idea," he told her.

Feeling his hands on her body and touching her so seductively Elena couldn't help but laugh and cuddle a little closer to him. "That's not what I'm talking about" Elena told him before she leaned up to capture his lips in a tender kiss. When they broke apart they both had smiles on their faces as Elena settled back into her position on his chest while his hands caressed her back. "Okay I have an idea" Damon chimed up.

"That doesn't involve a smart-ass comment?" Elena asked knowing him too well.

Damon stayed silent for a moment that just told Elena that his comment was indeed one she wasn't looking for and couldn't stop from rolling her eyes at him. "Ah, okay I have another idea then" Damon finally said and Elena let out a bit of a giggle. "We still have a long drive a head of us and since we sill be stuck in a van with no where else to go how about we wait until we arrive at the beach house?" Damon suggested.

"Okay" Elena replied as she lifted her head and captured Damon's lips once more. His hand came up from her body to cup her face to deepen the kiss while Elena's hands moved through his hair.

"Beside it's always best to hear bad news when you're lying on a paradise beach" Damon told her.

Elena shook her head and glared at him finding that he was enjoying the idea of destroying Stefan as fun. "And its comments like that I think I'm better off doing it on my own," She told him.

Damon rolled his eyes and let out a sigh. "God you are such a control freak" he mumbled.

"I AM NOT A CONTROL FREAK!" Elena snapped at him while Damon ignoring her and flipping them over so that he had her pinned on her back.

"Control freak, stubborn the list goes on" Damon teased in between kisses.

"You want to see me be a control freak? Fine!" she growled and then flipped them back over so that she was now straddling him and pinning his arms over his head. "This time I'm on top!" she growled and Damon didn't dare fight her on that one as she leaned down for a kiss.

"Fine but you're going to have to make this quick" Damon teased, "Or Kol will be banging on the door wanting in" he told her before their lips hungrily found each other.

Knowing she would have to sneak out before anyone noticed her missing from her own room or caught her in here, Elena reluctantly got out of bed and started searching the room for her pajamas that had been thrown throughout the room. Biting her bottom lip she tried not to stare at Damon who lay on the bed in his full glory with his hand behind his head just watching her. She knew that if she turned to look at him for a second there was a good chance she wouldn't be leaving the room but she knew she had to. With her pajama pants on, she pulled on her tank top and sweater just as Damon was rolling out of bed to find his pants.

He then moved towards the door while Elena hid behind him just in case Kol was up and wouldn't see her. Damon gave Elena a quick glance as she held her breath and then he slowly opened up the door. As it opened he popped his head out to see Kol just as he expected. He was passed out on the floor with his feet out and his upper body leaning to one side as he sat against the wall on the to other side of the hallway. He was still totally out of it as he was snoring away in his definitely uncomfortable sleeping position. "Coast is clear" Damon whispered and with a nodded Elena slipped out of the room and into way. As she came to stand in front of Kol she held her breath as if her breathing might wake him. Tiptoeing passed him she made her way to the girl's room down the hall, as Kol didn't seem to move at all. Turning back she gave Damon a quick smile before she slipped into the girl room and close the door behind her.

Damon smile soon turned to his roommate slouched on the floor and he grabbed a bottle of water by the door. Kneeling down in front of him Damon twisted open the bottle and held it over a sleeping Kol and started to pour a few drops on him. "Wakey, wakey" Damon said with a smirk as Kol started to jolt up away when the water poured over his head.

"SON OF A-" Kol yelled as he jumped up and saw Damon kneeling in front of him with an evil smirk on his face. "YOU'RE AN ASS DAMON!" Kol called out as he hit the water bottle out of Damon's hand and watched it go flying down the hall. Getting up with a sore neck from his spot of the floor he shook his wet hair and glared at his friend whom was the reason he had slept so uncomfortable last night.

"You're being a little over dramatic" Damon said with a laugh as they both walked into their room and Kol collapsed on his bed that although wasn't very comfortable was a lot better then the floor.

"If you don't mind some of us need to sleep" Kol said as he shut tired his eyes wanting to sleep in a bed for a couple hours.

"If it make you feel better I didn't sleep much either" Damon chuckled.

"Screw you" Kol mumbled and then buried his face in his pillow as he passed out once again.

As everyone started to wake up in the morning, Elena's absence in the girls' room went unnoticed. When she snuck back into the room they were all still asleep so she climbed back into her side of the bed and when Jenna woke up she never suspected a thing.

As everyone was packing up their stuff and bringing their bags into the bar, Damon had gone off with the tow truck to bring the van back into town. Kol reluctantly left the comfort of the bed and had to settle for the couch as they all had to wait until the van could get a new tire. As he collapsed on the couch Bonnie walked over and eyed the rough looking Kol and took a seat on the coffee table. "You look terrible" Bonnie teased.

"My roommate is a slut," Kol complained.

"What?"

"Damon and that Vickie chick were screwing each others brains out all night and I had to sleep out in the hallway," Kol told her as he shut his eyes and curled up on the couch as if he were going to fall back asleep. "Plus I was drunk off my ass I didn't even think to maybe come and sleep on the couch until now!"

"Damon and Vickie? Are you serious?" Bonnie asked him and she didn't sound at all happy about it. "He is suck a jerk and…"

"Hey it's fine, I'm over it" Kol told her although he did fine it a little nice that Bonnie wanted to stand up for him.

"No this isn't about you" Bonnie snapped and then shot off coffee table.

"Oh…. Well that's good" Kol thought as he watched an anger Bonnie storm off and he had no idea why she was getting so upset by Damon and Vickie now.

Jenna was just coming down the hall and practically ran into an angry Bonnie she didn't ever seem to notice that Jenna was there. "Hey, Bonnie" Jenna said but Bonnie just kept on walking like she didn't hear her. "Okay…" Jenna said seeming a little confused as she watched Bonnie head down the hall without even glancing back at her. Shrugging her shoulders Jenna let out a sigh and then made her way over to the table Alaric was sitting at, as he was texting with someone. "Honestly there is definitely some weird stuff going on this everyone," Jenna told him as she took a seat.

"They are a bunch of over emotional 21 year old, everything makes them crazy" Ric answered her with a laugh as he was texting away on his phone.

"You letting Meredith know we'll be in town tonight" Jenna asked.

Alaric gave a nod and set his phone down on the table, "Yeah, apparently there is a party tonight at bar by the beach" Alaric told her as he was getting a little excited about finally being able to meet Meredith after texting and writing to each other for so long.

"Well if everything goes as planned Damon says we should be there late tonight." Jenna told him with a smile. She really hoped that Alaric would be able to meet up with Meredith because she had known how many times they had tried to get together and things never worked out. Although Jenna was glad Alaric came along and was keeping her company after her break up with Logan, she was looking forward to him finally meet the girl of his dreams.

While the two were sitting there, Elena came over carrying her bag and after letting out a tied yawn she dropped her bags at her feet and took a seat next to them. Jenna was eyeing her niece closely who seemed pretty tired for someone who had went to bed before the rest of them. "You okay? How are you tired?" Jenna asked her and took notice of Elena being a little nervous about the question.

"I'm fine" Elena stated with a weak smile to her aunt and to Alaric while running her fingers through her hair and brushing strands behind her ear. She could tell that Jenna wasn't completely buying it but at the same time she wasn't pushing her any further. Biting her bottom lip Elena looked away from her aunt and towards the door just as Damon was walking through it after returning from getting the van. She felt butterflies in her stomach when she stared at him and thought about their night together. Her eyes trailed down that body that was once on top of hers and hers of top of his a number of times last night and early this morning. Not wanting to give anything away she pulled her eyes away from him and stared down at her nervous hands on the table.

He was walking towards them and Elena was doing her best act normal and not give anything away to her aunt that was already a little suspicious of her behavior. Ric interrupted her thoughts as he started talking to Damon. "So what's happening with the van?" he asked him as Damon got a drink from the bar and then took a seat at the table with them.

"It'll be an 30 min or so," Damon answered about them getting the van ready to go with a new tire at the local auto shop.

Jenna watched as Damon took a sip of his drink and she couldn't help but look at it in disgust. "Damon its 9 am! What the hell are you drinking?" she asked him while Damon gave a smile.

"Whiskey, wakes me up" he told her with a laugh. "I kept waking up in the middle of the night," he told her.

At this point Elena had just taken a drink of water from her water bottle and after hearing his statement and knew the real reason he was tried she started to choke. Hitting her chest with her fist Elena tried to stop herself from coughing.

"Oh my gosh are you okay?" Jenna asked as she started to rub her nieces back and help her to calm down.

"Yeah I'm fine" she answered and forced herself not to look at Damon because she knew if she did she would just give everything away on her face. She could feel Damon's eye on her but she wasn't about to cave and look at him knowing exactly what he was thinking.

Before any of them could say anything else Caroline came bouncing over looking pretty bored. Letting out a sigh she took a seat at the table next to Elena with a pouting lip. "So when are we getting out of here? This town still give me the creeps," she said as her body gave a shiver as she looked around at the empty bar of the Inn.

"Soon Blondie, after you cough up the money for that spare tire you left at home" Damon spat at her and Caroline glared at him.

"Rebekah was just as much a part of that as me!" Caroline complained.

"Yeah and she isn't here anymore so that is payment enough" Damon stated.

"You can't be serious?" Caroline said not liking how Damon was looking like he wasn't kidding. "DAMON!" she cried.

"What did you do now Damon?" came Stefan's voice as he joined the group and heard Caroline complaining. When he first spoke Elena felt herself stiffen thinking he somehow knew about her and Damon but once that thought was debunked she realized that he was speaking about Caroline.

"Nothing Blondie is just being over dramatic" Damon stated and then got up from his seat and started to walk away from the table. As he left Elena looked up at him for a second and the two made eye contact before he continued on walking towards the couches where Kol was sleeping. "KOL LETS GO!" Damon yelled and watched as Kol jumped off the couch with a jolt and wondering what the hell was going on. When le looked up to see Damon he started cursing his friend. "Wake up your driving" he told him and Kol just mumbled in response while Damon headed down the hall. Damon just had a smile on his face as he left the group and headed to get his bags from the room. As he walked down the hall he found Bonnie dragging out her bag from her room. "Got all your text books?"

She didn't answer him; instead she tried to walk right passed him as if she didn't hear him. It was obvious she had heard him and Damon stood in her way with a smirk on his face wondering what the hell was wrong with the Brownnoser.

"What's got you all moody?" he asked her.

"You may find it fun to mess with people but I swear Damon if your hurt Elena…"

"What are you blabbering about?" Damon laughed even though Bonnie looked pretty serious.

"I'm talking about YOU! You and Elena making out two nights ago and then suddenly your screwing that girl Vickie!" Bonnie snapped at him.

"I don't know what you're talking about! I didn't sleep with Vickie" Damon told her but it was obvious that Bonnie didn't believe him.

"Kol told me, so don't lie," Bonnie told him sounding pretty angry. "With everything going on with her and Stefan she doesn't need you leading her on and then tossing her aside when then next bimbo shows up"

"What ever" Damon said as he rolled his eyes. He figured it was best Bonnie did think he slept with Vickie until him and Elena figured things out.

Bonnie was about to say something else to him but their heated conversation was interrupted when Elena came walking around the corner. Her eyes fell upon an angry Bonnie as her eyes her glaring at Damon as if he were the devil. Biting her lip Elena could tell she had definitely interrupted something big and what ever it was it wasn't good. "Hey" she said nervously while they both glanced at her not sure what to do. Clearing her throat Elena took a few steps closer to them as her eyes when from Damon to Bonnie trying to figure out what was going on.

"Look Elena, for your own good I suggest you quit while you ahead "Bonnie told her friend and it made Elena wonder what had happen and what Bonnie knew. "Damn it I forgot something" Bonnie mumbled as she looked at her bags.

Elena was about to vocalize her question when Bonnie just quickly turned on her feet and left the two standing there. Once bonnie was out of sight Elena's eyes turned to look at Damon as they both seem to be wondering if their secret would make it until they got to West Palm Beach.

Bonnie stormed into the hotel room with a huff because she was so angry. She had caught her best friend making out with Mystic Fall's bad boy and someone Elena herself had spent a lot of time arguing with and not getting along. Growing up Bonnie couldn't really think of a time Damon and Elena ever got along. Sure maybe things had gotten a little better between then when Elena's parents died but it didn't take long for the two were bickering about something. When she had first discovered Elena and Damon's secret she wasn't about to make a big fuss about it but after seeing him flirting with Vickie and then apparently sleeping with her; Bonnie didn't want to see her best friend get to far in with Damon only to be hurt and devastated. With a frustrated sigh Bonnie swung open the door to the room and as she stepped into the room she came to a halt. Her eyes fell upon Vickie who was standing in the middle of the room as she was folding up one of the beds. "Oh sorry… I forgot something," Bonnie said quietly as she stared awkwardly at the girl who Damon spent the night screwing while Elena seemed upset.

"I thought you guys would be gone by now" Vickie mumbled.

"No we're waiting to get a new tire for the van" Bonnie told her although figured the conversation would of come up when Damon kicked her out this morning. Vickie just kind of shrugged her shoulders and continued cleaning up the room for the next guest. "Didn't Damon tell you that that was where he was going?" Bonnie asked unsure if she really wanted to know the answer. In fact she knew she didn't want to hear the answer but that didn't stop the question from coming out of her mouth.

"Why would I care what Damon was doing?" Vickie snapped at Bonnie with a look of disgust while Bonnie looked under the bed and found her textbook. "The guy blew me off last night" she added with an annoyed tone but Bonnie was more interested in what she had said.

"He turned you down?" Bonnie asked as she stood back up and was holding her textbook in her arms. She looked both shocked and confused while Vickie just looked pissed off about the whole thing.

When Bonnie left the room she made her way to the bar where the gang was starting to gather their stuff to load into the van that had a new tire. As she slowly entered the room she was so confused as to what the hell had happened the other night. Kol seemed so sure that Damon had slept with Vickie or at least that he was sleeping with someone. Yet if it had been Vickie, why would she deny anything? None of this made sense to her and she wondered what the hell was going on. Standing in the bar she watched as Caroline and Jenna were chatting away while carrying their suitcases out of the hotel, Stefan and Kol were followed not far behind them. She spotted Alaric and a yawning Damon at the bar as the two had one last drink before they hit the road. Her eyes the looked over at Elena as she to let out a yawn and was grabbing her bags to carry them out to the van with a bit of a limp. A yawning Damon and a yawning Elena both looking like that they didn't sleep much the night before. The gears started turning in Bonnie's head as she watched the two, and although the didn't say anything as they left the hotel the two share a quick look and smile before heading to opposite side of the van. Bonnie stood there in shock as her jaw dropped and everything started to come together. Damon wasn't with Vickie last night, but he was with Elena! "OH MY GOD!"
