I'm sorry for the wait. I've been busy. Really busy.

I do not own twilight or the vampire diaries

Chapter 7

Damons POV

As I left Bella that night I couldn't help the smile that formed on my face. I wanted to see her again but I knew that she needed her sleep, so instead I snuck up to her window and I saw her going into her bathroom with a smile that matched my own.

I didn't really want the title as a stalker or a peeping tom so I decided to go hunt.

Unlike my brother I don't hunt animals, but I don't kill either. Atleast not lately I don't and I don't think i'm gonna do that again. In respect for Bella. I don't think that she would want to be dating a killer. So i'm gonna stick to blood banks and drink from someone but keep them alive and swipe their memory.

I have considered telling Bella and Elena has begged me to let her tell her, and even though I know I can trust her I just can't tell her. The less people that know the better it is. The safer it is. For all of us.

When Elena told us that Bella was going to come here and stay for a while at first I was happy. I thought, yay. Another toy to play with. For the rest of that week I thought that it would be fun to play around a bit with her.

I wouldn't have drank from her or compelled her because I promised Elena I wouldn't, and the one thing that you can always count on me for is that I never brake promises.

Just ask stephan. I promised to make the rest of eternity a living hell for him and so far so good.

But then everything changed. I was with Stephan helping to get her bedroom ready, I normally wouldn't have bothered but Elena got me to agree, she wanted me to keep an eye on Stephan for her. After that whole kidnapping incident and Elena forcing him to drink from her to save his life he hasn't been the same.

I will never admit this but I actually have a lot of respect for my dear younger brother. I always have. He has spent century's trying to ignore the call of human blood which though I have never tried to resist and have no experience with it but I know that it would have been beyond difficult. Very near impossible.

I also feel sorry for the pain that he is now going through because of it.

He is putting on a brave face for everyone but we all know that he is suffering. The only problem is me nor Elena can help him because he won't admit that he needs help, he is lying to himself as well as to us.

I'll admit that he is a lot more fun to be around, no more brooding and a lot more laughing. But he just isn't himself. I can't believe I am even thinking of this but I want my brother back.

My brooding, gloomy, the world is out there to get me brother.

Anyway it all changed when I finally met Bella.

She is not at all what I expected. I don't really know what I expected but it definitely wasn't her.

She was wearing a short white denim skirt that showed of her legs perfectly. This pink top with silver stripes and a white denim jacket. With pink heals.

She looked hot.

Yet not like herself, I don't know what her style is but it didn't look like that was what she usually wore, like she was trying to change who she was.

When our eyes met after looking each other over we kind of got caught in a trance, until she blushed and looked away clearly feeling embaresed, that just made me smile.

But then I extended my hand in greeting but when our hands met it was like an electric current running through me and I knew that Bella felt it to at her gasp. I had never felt anything like that. It was so powerful.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Stephan and Elena looking at us strangely and then I realised that we were still holding hands, so I took mine back and laughed passing off the spark as static electricity. She went along with it but I felt like she knew that was a lie. Like she knew what it was. Like maybe she had felt it before.

After that everyone went in the kitchen to eat the pizza that Stephan ordered and we all sat down and ate while talking.

I was fasinated by Bella, as she was talking about herself or asking us questions I just couldn't look away. I wanted to know more about her. I wanted to know everything.

When I told her I was taking night classes at the college she looked really interested like she was gonna ask more questions about it and I got nervous. But thankfully Stephan quickly asked her something else so I was saved.

The thing is I don't really attend the college. Well not in night classes. I usually go there at night and scout for girls. Well scout for my food.

Well now that we are together i'll just tell her I dropped out and stop going there.

When we relocated to the living room to watch a movie I noticed that Bella was looking really tired. But I didn't say anything.

Not that it mattered she fell asleep about half an hour into the film and then I couldnt look away. I missed most of the film because I was too busy watching Bella sleep, I was aware of Elena looking at me and when I asked her what it was about she just gave me a knowing smile, looked at Bella and then watched the rest of the film. All the while smiling.

When the movie was finally over Bella was still unconsious and it didn't look like she would be coming around anytime soon. Elena kept trying to wake her and she did respond but she was just so tired that she couldn't even lift her head.

So I voluntered to take her up to bed. It was partly because I was curious if that spark would come again but it was also because I wanted an excuse to hold her.

When I picked her up her arms instantly came around my neck and she cuddled her head into my chest and inhaled. When I went upstairs I didn't miss the look that Elena and Stephan had. But I chose to ignore it.

When I entered her bedroom I was stalling a little bit, I didn't want to put her down. The spark did come back and it was so powerful that I wanted nothing more than to kiss her. As I laid her on her bed the current cut of and I longed to get it back again.

So I kissed her on her forehead hoping to lessen the need to hold her but as soon as my lips met her head it was even more powerful. Bella didn't even seem to notice that I kissed her head.

She was so out of it.

It was really adorable.

When I came back downstairs I was attacked with questions from Elena.

She thought she senced something between me and Bella. She thought we liked each other and I just laughed it of and told her she was crazy. I didn't know what to do. That had never happened before.

It was a little scary and coming from a vampire that means a lot.

The next moring all I could think about was Bella. I had only known her for a few hours and she was already in my every thought.

I went over my usual routine trying not to think of her, I took a shower, got dressed, all black. Then told Stephan that he was in way over his head. As usual he ignored me.

Insisting he was fine.

I then went to get a drink at the mystic grill when I saw Bella's car parked there. I listened in for her and she was trying to get away from tyler. I was about ready to go in and rip his head off when I heared Bella defend herself.

I was shocked when she was done with her speech. She was one of the first person to turn him down and I thought that was hilarious.

Especially the way she did it.

When she came outside I was leaning on her car, once she noticed she was about to snap at me before she realised that it was me.

I had to admit that I thought that was incredibly hot. Someone who was able to stand up for herself and mostly someone with an atitude.

Its a real turn on.

I had started to tease her about the night before and managed to make her blush. Her blush was adorable.

I then started flirting with her and her reaction was funny. She looked gobsmacked.

It was hilarious.

Especially when I gave her my best ever grin.

I always got what I wanted with that grin. Girls just can't resist it.

When I was in her car after she dismissed herself it was rather a lot of fun watching her get worked up.

When she said no to my offer to help her paint her room I was confused, she was the only one to resist that smile. Even if it did look like she wanted to say yes.

So I compelled her, but I wasn't braking my promise to Elena because there was a loophole to that promise. I had promised to not compell her into doing something that would hurt her, and this wouldn't.

But it didn't matter anyway. I couldn't do it.

I was confused. My powers have never failed me until now. On Bella. But that fact also made me curious.

How could she repel my powers.

But before I even tried to compell her we were just staring in each others eyes. I loved her chocolate brown eyes. When she blushed again I realised that she probably likes me and I internally smiled at that.

When she told me that I could help her paint if I helped her with everything else I was ecstatic.

When we got to her house and we were walking upstairs to make a start on her room I heard her mumble that I was really annoying her and I just had to laugh at it.

I always annoy people, its a part of my charm.

But when I laughed a bit too loud I knew that she heard me which was not a good thing considering she said it so low that if I were human I wouldn't have heared.

However she didn't bring it up. So I let it go.

When I left that night I felt weird. Nothing bad weird but something I had never felt before.

Yet it also felt nice.

All we had managed to do today was put sheets over everything. She had forgotten the paintbrushes, something I found very funny.

At first I didn't go home I went up to Bella's bedroom and watched her. Normally I wouldn't do that because it boarders on stalker matterial. But I was curious and I only stayed until she fell asleep then I went home.

The rest of that night I didn't get much sleep as I was up most of the night trying to figure out why I was feeling like this toward Bella, I had never felt this way ever. Not even with Katherine.

The next day while i ws waiting for bella to get up i just sat in the kitchen staring at the newspaper not reading it and actually listening to her sleep. Then listening to her getting ready for the day.

I was actually a little surprised when she came up behind me, I had been listening so well that I didn't realise she was right next to me.

It was a lot of fun teasing her about the lateness of the day before we went upstairs to paint her bedroom.

It was surprisingly a lot of fun, and I will never give Bella such a careful job again. I was both highly amused and a tad bit annoyed when I told her to carefully paint around the edges of the walls and she had to do it so carefully that it was taking so god damn long.

It was annoying to watch. Yet I was laughing on the inside.

When we painted it all she sighed with relief and stretched and I couldn't help but stare at the bit of stomach that showed, thankfully she didnt notice my staring but because I was so focused I didn't have enough time to react properly when she through the roller in the tub full of paint.

I only had enough time to cover my face. But barely.

I froze completely. I was head to toe covered in paint and it was all over my god damn jacket.

I was infuriated. I had been careful to get no paint on me and she had to be stupid enough to do that.

Did she not realise what would happen. Was she that stupid.

I was about to yell at her when her expression cut me off.

She looked like she was trying hard not to laugh.

But she couldn't do it.

She burst out laughing and had a hard time telling me why.

It was then that I realised what my feelings meant. I was in love with Bella.

Watching her laughing so hard made me realise it. She was bent over laughing hysterically clutching her sides looking like she was about to topple over at any minute.

She just looked so free. Then when I took in the situation and her position I couldn't help but join in. But when I started I too couldn't stop laughing.

If anyone saw us they would most likely think we were drunk. Or insane.

When we finally calmed down I left to get cleaned up and when I came back I got Bella to tell me how she wanted her furniture and then practicully kicked her out the door.

I wanted to finish it and I wanted it to be a surprise.

While she was gone I got to work and had it absolutely perfect within an hour. I could have done it quicker but I wanted to stall for a bit.

When it was taken care of I sat on the couch and thought about right before the paint incident.

The bit where I was mesmerized by her stomach. Not even her whole stomach, just a bit of it and I was mesmerized. I couldn't understand it.

I had seen everything that woman have. On lots of woman. I had been around for about 150 years so its not a surprise that I had. But yet with this one girl I was shocked and excited to see a bit of her belly.

By the time she came home all I had come up with was that it was because I never loved any of the other girls and I loved Bella.

I know its a lame excuse but it was the best I could come up with.

About an hour later we were sitting on her couch watching a movie. Well watching and also not watching if you catch my drift.

But we had talked about everything, she told me about her Ex Edward and I was all but ready to go hunt him down and kill him for what he put her through. I also wanted to find him and thank him because if he never left then I wouldn't have Bella right now.

I then told her about my history leaving out the part about the vampire and made it fit into my 21 'human' years.

I was this close to telling her about us but I just couldn't. Like I said the less people that know the safer for everyone it is.

Though I kind of wanted Bella to figure it out. If Elena could then i'm sure Bella could too.

Thats when I noticed the movie was over so I got up, wished Bella good night and left.

. . .

After my hunt I went home and tried to get past Staphan but him being like me he knew I was home. So I spent the next 15 minutes telling him what happened.

We might not be the closest brothers but atleast now anyway we try to make an effort to include ourselves in each others lives.

Normally since Stephan has been trying to stop his human cravings he hasn't bothered but he does care about Bella and he wanted to know if we were together.

He wasn't too happy but he left it alone with a threat that if I hurt her ... .

Even he couldn't deny the change in me in just two days because of Bella.

When I was finally in my room alone I was bored. But forcing myself into bed I just stared up at the ceiling and daydreamed of Bella until I fell asleep.

Looking forward for the next day.
