To be with you Forever- Damon Salvatore/OC
Chapter 8- Mystic Grill.
Summary: I knew he was going to kill me, This was Damon Salvatore, this could never end well and yet I couldn't stay away, the truth is, I didn't want to. Damon/OC
Some people have asked me when I'm going to have Damon not erase her memory and I do have a particular reason for having him do so, I cant make her remember just yet because of upcoming events, plus its only the eighth chapter and I myself am not a big fan of stories that go too quickly, where they fall in love in the like 3rd chapter, after knowing each other a day, I don't think its very realistic. Plus.. This is Damon Salvatore were dealing with, he only cares for himself and Katherine and in my opinion Kaye is going to take a while to change that in even a small way… right now she's just a very tasty meal.
Also, no this is not going to be like an Edward/Bella Twilight thing, where her blood is like a drug or whatever, it just tastes slightly better is all =]
Rant over! Please enjoy! =]
Finding Mystic Grill had been harder than I had originally thought it would be and had taken longer than I had anticipated, meaning the fifteen minute window I had allowed myself for travel, was nowhere near long enough and I'd arrived just over twenty minutes late. I found the grill, there was nothing really Mystic about it, quite average actually, your usual place. As I rushed through the doors I noticed Elena, Bonnie and Caroline and Stefan's solid form, next to Caroline, tentatively holding her hand was a good looking blond boy I hadn't yet met, and next to him was a much taller dark haired boy with strong features.
Bonnies head turned in my direction at the sound of the door, and she grinned, waving me over.
"Hi guys," I said breathlessly, slipping onto the seat that Bonnie patted next to her.
"No problem finding this place then?" Bonnie grinned.
"Ha ha" I mumbled, earning a laugh from Elena, who snuggled warmly into Stefans shoulder, who was grinning himself.
"Kaye," Caroline said, "This is Matt, my uh, boyfriend?" though it sounded more like a question than a statement.
"Yeah, I'm her boyfriend" the blonde I now knew as Matt, seemed to confirm, their relationship must be rather new, "and this is my best friend Tyler" Matt added, indicating the other nameless boy.
"Hi," I said to both, "It's good to meet you both"
"Why haven't we met in school already?" Tyler asked.
"Because Elena and Bonnie are rude" Stefan interjected with a grin, earning a useless slap from Elena.
"So your parents were okay with you coming?" Bonnie asked, "It was quite late notice."
"Yeah, my father was fine, he was in bed early anyway."
"What about your mum?"
"Uh, my mums not here, she passed away a few months ago, before we moved here." my statement was met by awkward silence, Elena cleared her throat surreptitiously, then said solemnly, "I'm sorry," I noticed some of the others nodding in agreement, I smiled, "If you need to talk to someone… well I can sympathise."
Of course she could, she had just recently lost her parents too, I also noticed Bonnie nodding glumly and remembered a previous conversation where she had mentioned losing her grandmother, who had been like a mother, very recently.
What a morbid group we were.
It seemed Caroline agreed, as she not so subtly, changed the subject to happier things.
I had been less than ten minutes before we were interrupted, I noticed Stefan's body stiffen as I heard the sound of the door and Elenas quickly followed suit. Bonnie frowned about the same time I did and felt her body stiffen also, it seemed a heavy silence had fallen over the group until a smooth voice said, "Brother"
I turned along with Matt, Tyler and Caroline who looked slightly terrified, to see Damon, the guy whose car had died outside of my house today. He was wearing the same leather jacket and what looked like the same jeans, maybe the shirt was different I wasn't really sure. He was also wearing the same arrogant smirk, I had noticed a few times today.
Stefan looked like he was grinding his teeth together, and Damon grinned, "Elena" nodding at the namesake. I frowned, slightly confused as he aimed the next word at Bonnie, "Witch." He then threw "Annoying" at Caroline and "Other people" at Matt and Tyler, neither of which looked happy at the rather rude dismissal.
Well, this wasn't the same guy who had used my phone today, maybe it was an evil twin? Or maybe the guy today was just a complete fluke? Or, and this one was more than likely the correct one, I had been totally played and he was just pretending to be charming so I would let him use my phone and hang out for a while, though my memories as to what actually happened when we hung out, were still very hazy. Maybe I would ask him? Yeah, right! Then you'll look either crazy or forgetful!
"What do you want Damon?" I heard Stefan ask stiffly, though Damon ignored him and favoured me with his stare instead, I felt myself shiver involuntarily at his icy eyes.
"Oh!" he said, as if he hadn't noticed me before now, "Kaye? I didn't know you were friends with my brother?" Brother? Stefan was Damons brother? Which meant that Damon was the brother that Stefan so despised and Elena and the others said was trouble. They were one and the same. Small world, what were the odds that it would be the same guy?
"You two know each other?" Bonnie asked, eyes narrowed at Damon.
"Yes." he said dismissively, then to me, "Thank you again for your help today, I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't been there, I wouldn't have been able to eat for a long time, if you hadn't helped me get home" Strange comment, but then again it seemed a lot of things were strange about this guy.
I saw Stefan stiffen again, his teeth obviously grinding.
"It's no problem" I said, quite meekly, cheeks brightening under the groups gaze.
The smirk returned, "Maybe I could buy you.."
"Maybe you should leave Damon." Stefan growled, his voice more penetrating and angry than a shout would have been. The warning was clearly evident, Leave us alone or else.
"I only came to grab a drink little brother, I believe we were brought up to believe it impolite to ignore our siblings." he smirked.
"Well you didn't ignore me. You can leave us be now."
"Fair enough," he replied, "I'll see you soon" he said to the group as a whole, though it felt strange, like it was aimed directly at me. I shuddered again, involuntarily, something was seriously up with Damon, maybe he was a split personality or something, he was totally different to how he had been today at my house. At mine he had been charming, likeable even, but here he was being a complete jerk.
I noticed that Caroline remained quiet, meek even, huddling close to Matt, and I made a mental note to ask Bonnie about it later once se was out of earshot. I would have asked Elena, but the way she was glaring at the back of Damons head as he sauntered towards the bar in the corner, revelling in the stares of pretty much all of the women in the place, I had a feeling that Damon wouldn't be her favourite topic of conversation.
"Matt, could we go?" Caroline asked, glancing towards Damon, who was now propped on a stall, his back to us, "I don't really feel like being here anymore"
"Sure, we're gonna head of guys" Matt said, both blondes rising from their seats.
"Lift home?" Tyler asked, standing too, to which Matt nodded. The three exited swiftly, leaving Bonnie and I with Elena and a still very angry looking Stefan, who was whispering in Elena's ear. She didn't look happy so I guessed it wasn't sweet terms of endearment that he was whispering.
After a while, filled with the deep silence that had settled at Damons arrival, Elena suggested that we leave too, "The night stopped being fun" she had said bitterly and I found myself wondering, what Damon had done that was so bad, that his own brother hated him, along with everybody else it seemed.
Elena had said that Stefan was going to stay behind, and I didn't voice my opinion that it was no doubt to argue with Damon in someway, though I had immediately felt bad for thinking it, I barely knew the Salvatores and I knew pretty much nothing of Damon, so I really had no right to an opinion.
"So, how did you help Damon exactly?" Bonnie asked as soon as the door had closed behind us, something I could just tell she had been dying to ask for a while now.
"His car broke down outside my house today, just after I got home from school." I answered, feeling nervous, like I was in a dank interrogation room in a police station and Elena and Bonnie, were good cop bad cop. From the dour expression that remained on Elenas face, I would have taken her for the bad cop.
"Did you invite him in?" Elena asked, sharing a look with Bonnie.
"What?" I asked, frowning, what a strange question to have asked.
"Did you let him in your house? Did you invite him in?" A strange urgency laced her voice.
"No" I lied, "No, I didn't."
I made my way to my car, shaking my head, wondering why in the hell I had thought it would be a good idea to lie to my new friends, who had been so gracious to me ever since I had arrived, however, no matter how much I berated myself for lying, somewhere deep inside I had the undeniable feeling that I had done the right thing.
Damons P.O.V
I watched as Katharines look-alike led the witch and Kaye from the grill, not bothering to hide my obvious staring from Stefan who was stalking towards me now with barely concealed rage in his eyes. Elenas face held a similar rage, though much less animalistic than Stefan's. The witch looked angry, though there was the underlying fear in her face that there had always been since I had attacked her and Kaye just looked bewildered and slightly weary, like she didn't know what was going on and wasn't really sure she wanted to.
"What did I tell you Damon?" he demanded, looking just about ready to punch me.
"Really brother?" I asked sipping on my scotch, "You're going to start this here? In public? And here I was thinking that you didn't want us to be exposed."
"Then lets step outside!" he growled, under his breath ensuring that only I would hear him.
"No thank you, I'm content to just sit here and watch you seeth, I cant really be bothered to beat you right now. Now what is it that you wanted?" I asked, knowing exactly what he was about to say, nonchalantly watching as Elena and the witch seemingly interrogated Kaye, about me no doubt, I could have concentrated harder and heard, but I didn't need to confirm what I already knew. I saw Kayes lips form the word "No" and then something else, before the girls parted for their own cars.
"I told you to stay away from her and now I hear your turning up at her house! Did she invite you in?"
"No sibling, I stood outside, she's a smart girl" I lied, at least for now I would let him believe I had only been outside, I was sure Elena would pry the truth from Kaye anyway.
"Why were you there?" he asked.
I smirked, "Why do you think?"
He growled lightly, "My car broke down, outside her house, conveniently enough."
"Right, you expect me to believe that? You take better care of your car than anything else." he stated.
"You got me, so I may have stuck my hand in a pulled at a few things, the smoke coming from the engine looked convincing enough though."
"What are you doing Damon?" he asked me, that annoying motherly tone in his voice again, "Why are you still here?"
I ignored him, he persisted, "Katharine's not in the tomb, you know that now, why aren't you out there, searching for her? Why are you still here in Mystic Falls, bugging me like a bug on the windscreen?"
"Nice metaphor brother." I smirked, slipping off of the stool gracefully, shooting what I knew was a disarming smile at the woman behind the bar, who had been staring at me since I had arrived.
"You never answered my question Damon!" Stefan called after me, attracting more attention from the other customers in the grill.
"I don't have an answer baby brother!" I called back, then turned away letting the door close behind me.
