Wednesday:The Premier part I.

ElenaPov:

My eyes shoot open when I hear a knock on my door, I roll over and look at the time... 09:30am. Who the fuck could be here at this time of day? I groan, get out of bed and put my robe on. I open the door to a guy holding a massive basket of something.

"Miss Gilbert?" he asks.

"Yeah, that's me," I reply groggily.

"Delivery from one... Damon Salvatore," he states and shoves the basket into my hands "I just need a signature."

I place the basket down on the floor just inside the apartment and sign on his little machine "Thank you," I say and close the door.

I pick the basket back up and take it into my bedroom where I sit on the bed. It's a wicker basket covered in a clear material with a big bow tied around it. I rip the bow off and the cover and inside I see it's filled with hair products, bath salts, all kinds of lotions and potions. I smile widely when I see a note in the middle of the basket, I pick it up and it reads...

Elena,

I just thought this could help you relax today

Don't worry about shoes just make sure your

in at 4pm, can't wait to see you tonight beautiful,

xDx

This is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me, I can't believe that Salvatore of all people would think to do something as special as this is. I throw myself back onto the bed and start squealing and kicking my feet around. When I realise I'm acting like a fucking fan girl I stop, sit up and pull out my cell.

"Hello," a cranky Damon answers.

"I hope your not still sleeping Salvatore, after I've been woken up by a damn delivery guy," I almost shout just to annoy him.

"What? huh, Elena is that you? Shit, what time is it?" he rambles.

I chuckle " it's nearly ten, I'm just calling to say thank you for this stuff you've had sent for me, it's the sweetest thing anyone has ever done."

"No problems, like I've told you. Anything to put a smile on your face Gilbert."

"Well I gotta go, things to do and all that," I inform him.

"Okay, I'll see you tonight six on the dot."

"That you will, bye," I say and hang up.

"It's gorgeous!" Caroline practically screams.

"I know, right?" I agree running my fingertips over my dress again, I just have to touch it every time I'm in close proximity to it.

"Seriously, Elena, this guy must really like you. I mean, he even had the guts to go through an entire phone conversation with Katherine just to make sure he got a dress that you would like."

"Hey," Kat protests from my bed. "I'm not that bad. He was very determined though when he called me."

I roll my eyes at the both of them. The two of them had arrived about a half an hour later after Damon and I hung up. Frankly, I didn't want to think about any of this until after the week was over. Well, I did, but since Damon and I have restricted ourselves from any playtime- talking, or even thinking about it has proved to be rather... frustrating.

"So I had a little chat with Bonnie last night..." Kat informs me.

"Oh my God." I chuckle. That must have been some conversation. "And what did this conversation entail?"

"Oh, nothing." She has a little smirk on her face now.

"You threatened her didn't you?" I ask, already knowing the answer.

"You know I had to. But, it was very mild. She seems sweet and she really likes Jer, I don't think we have anything to worry about."

I roll my eyes, even though I'm grateful for the information. It's ridiculous how protective we are of each other, but there really isn't anything we can do about that. We're a close family and if Jeremy is serious about Bonnie then I dread to think of what Mom is going to do to the poor woman.

"It wasn't nearly as violent as what I said to Damon." she adds nonchalantly.

"What?" I yell. "What the hell did you say to him?"

"Don't worry about it. Whatever I said didn't seem to scare him off." she gestures to the dress and the wicker basket that sits on my vanity as she struts out of my room. "Please tell me you have alcohol in this house." she calls out.

"In the fridge!" I yell back. A minute later she saunters back in holding a bottle of wine and three wine glasses.

"It's not even noon." Caroline notes as she begins pouring.

"So." Kat and I say at the same time.

Caroline shrugs and takes a sip."Some of this stuff is top of the line, Elena. He wants to pamper you." she gushes.

"So, has anything happened since the kiss on Monday?" Kat, always eager for information.

"Hmm," I say, not giving anything away.

"Share the details, don't be stingy." Caroline chides me as Kat studies my face.

"Oh yeah, something happened." she concludes.

Damn that twins intuition.

"Spill it, sis."

I shake my head no. "You guys really have no idea how hard it is to be all talk and no action."

They both stare at me like I'm crazy.

Caroline shakes her head. "Wait, so you mean to tell me that there's this super sexy movie star who wants the hell out of you and is romancing you like crazy... and you're not hittin' that?" she's incredulous now.

"Nope. Not with this assignment still going on. It's a total conflict of interest." I tell them seriously before I take a sip of my wine.

"But your editor, surely she would understand, right?" Kat asks.

Caroline nods vigorously. "I mean it's Damon Salvatore."

I shake my head. "It doesn't matter. He's as off limits as anyone and anything else I've ever covered in my career at the Times."

"So that means that kiss..." Kat trails off.

"Is a huge secret that neither of you can tell anyone." I finish for her. I hesitate before adding, "That includes the kiss that we shared yesterday during the hike." I tell them before a huge smile takes over my face.

"I knew it!" Kat points at me victoriously. "And don't worry, your secrets safe with me."

"Me too." Caroline nods. "So when do you think you two are going to go at it again?" she questions. Kat chuckles.

"What did I just tell you?" I say to her.

"What! You just told us you kissed him twice, I don't think rules really matter to you." she shrugs.

"She does have a point." Kat assisted. "Now go shower." she pushes me up and pats my ass.

"I have showered, before you guys showed up." I point to my wet hair as evidence.

"Again. And don't forget to shave." she orders.

I huff. "I shaved two nights ago." I really hate shaving. Besides, it's not like anyone there will be paying attention to me anyway.

Kat arches her brow. "You have to do it again. And Elena, please try not to cut yourself. There's nothing sexy about bandaged legs."

Caroline nods her head in agreement. As I stomp off to the bathroom again, I hear them talk about the advantages of wearing my hair up verses the advantages of leaving it down.

Once I've finished the second shower I've had in two hours I apply some of the lotion that was in the basket on to my skin. It smells divine and has made my skin really smooth, it must be expensive 'cause the shit I use is nothing like this. As I'm applying some moisturiser to my face I look in the mirror and realise that I... me... is going to look so out of place tonight. I'm just a plain Jane newspaper reporter I'll stick out like a sore thumb. I sit my ass on the edge of the tub and start to hyperventilate, how could I have been so stupid.

"KAT!" I shout.

"Yeah," she says as she opens the door, then she sees me "Aw Elena what's wrong, CAROLINE!" she shouts.

"I-I...breath...can't do...breath... this, look...breath... at me," I say now visibly shaking.

Kat kneels down in front of me "No, Elena, you look at me." she grabs my face and I look at her "There is nothing wrong with you. You're beautiful and intelligent and Damon wants to be there with you tonight... you. So you will take deep breaths, calm down and me and Caroline are gonna make you look and feel like your the god damn movie star, okay," she says to me sternly.

Caroline perches next to me and puts her arm around me "Kat's right babe, you need to let go of these insecurities. Since when have you ever cared what anybody thinks about you?"

"I just don't know where all this fear and self doubt is coming from, I just-I just don't feel like I'm good enough for him. I was so wrong about him, he is completely different to what I could've ever imagined him to be," Kat cuts me off.

"Listen sis, Damon has gone to great lengths to make you change your opinion of him. If he just wanted to sleep with you he would not of bought you a thousand dollar dress, called me to find out your sizes and sent you a luxury pamper kit."

"That dress costs a grand?" I exclaim.

Caroline laughs. "Yes but that's not the point, he likes you so just try to except it, you have the chance of a lifetime tonight, to go to the Twilight premier on the arm of one of the hottest stars around. You'll get a chance to meet some of the cast of our favourite films of all time including Robert Pattinson," she squeals "Damn girl Tyler would be called to arrest my ass for dry humping the shit of that man." we all laugh and I feel a lot calmer now.

I stand up and smooth my hands over my robe "You're right. I am Elena Gilbert and I don't care what people think about me. I'm going to the premier of Eclipse tonight with Damon Salvatore and I'm going to look hot." I declare to myself if no one else.

We all giggle and go back through to my bedroom, we sit and chill for a while drinking some more wine. At around noon Caroline goes out to get us all some taco's for lunch and we demolish them like they were the last thing on earth to eat. By the time we have finished eating and Caroline had finished with my pedicure it is finally time to sit at my dresser and let my sister and best friend work their magic.

~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~

I've been sat in this chair for nearly two hours now and Kat has finally finished with my hair which she has changed style around fifteen times. She has decided on having it all pulled back and pinned behind but the top is like a messy style, it looks great she has done a fuck-awesome job.

"Kat it looks amazing, you're the best." I tell her.

"Well I try, but I do agree it looks great up... and these will look perfect." she presents me with a Tiffany's box.

I open the box and inside are a dazzling pair of two tiered droplet crystal earrings. I gasp "Oh my God Kat, these are beautiful. Thank you." I get up and hug her.

"No problem, now sit your ass down and let Caroline do your make up." she orders.

I do as she says, and I can't help starting to feel excited and nervous. I look at the clock its nearly four, just two more hours and then he will be here. There is a knock on my door and Kat says she will get it seen as Caroline is applying make up to my face.

"Errmm, Elena. I think they're here for you." I hear Kat shout.

"What? Who is it?" I turn to see when I hear people close to my bedroom door.

Holy fucking shit!

There's about five people all carrying shoe boxes and bags. Ahhhhh, now I know what he meant in the note.

"Oh wow Elena, this one's a keeper." Caroline giggles.

"Hello Miss Gilbert. We heard your in need of shoes." a man says and I just nod my head I'm fucking speechless ladies and gentlemen. Looks like Mr. Salvatore has out done himself again.

I try on pair after pair and they are all Jimmy-freaking-Choo and they're all fucking gorgeous but I finally decide on a simple pair of black slip on suede pumps with a five inch heel and one inch platform they are just so elegant. I also pick out a metallic silver leather clutch which has a branded metal closure which is in a different silver to the bag. It's gorgeous and will go with the earrings Kat gave me.

The Jimmy Choo people leave and Caroline cracks on with my make up while Kat lays on my bed reading magazines. The silence is making me a helluva lot more nervous than I need to be right now.

"Hey guys did I tell you I'm going to Mystic Falls on Friday?" I just throw it out there you know.

"NO!" they both shout in unison.

"Yeah well I am, Damon has to go there to present some cheque to the town, did you know his family are one of the founding families of the town, like his ancestors and shit." I ramble.

"That's pretty cool," Caroline states while plying my eyelashes with mascara.

"So are just the two of you going? Where you going to stay? Does Mystic Falls have any five star hotels?" Kat rolls all the questions off.

"Jesus woman, nosey much? Stefan's gonna be there and they have a house there that their parents left for them when they passed away." I waffle on.

"Stefan's going?" Kat asks intrigued.

"Yes Stef is going why?"

"Can I come? I need to get away have a break, you know... I work my ass off..." she states her claim.

"Hmmm," I know what her game is " I'll ask Damon, I can't see it being a problem. But Stefan is off limits to you." I wink at her.

"I don't know what you mean," she laughs.

"Yeah, whatever." She's totally crushing on him, and it's an unusual thing for Kat to crush on someone.

"Nude or pink?" Caroline asks me.

"What?" I'm confused.

"Pink." Kat says from the bed. "But like a natural pink, you know?"

"Mhmm," Caroline agrees absentmindedly.

"Damon's going to have such a hard time trying not to kiss you tonight." Kat giggles.

"You're evil." I say, and then I'm silent as Caroline applies gloss to my lips.

"All done." she says proudly. "Take a look." she directs.

I do as she asks. I look... amazing. "Seriously, the two of you together are a force to reckon with. You guys are amazing. Thank you so much."

"No need to thank us, all we did was enhance your natural beauty." Kat says. "And by the way, I'm a bit offended by your insecurity. As your twin, I can assure you that we are insanely gorgeous."

"And I agree. Now get dressed. We will be in the other room, holler when you're done." Caroline says and they leave the room.

Surely enough, the dress fits like a glove, but that was to be expected with Kat as his Alie. I took a look in the mirror. I honestly look like I belong. Sure Damon, Kat and Caroline's words were reassuring, but nothing is more reassuring than looking in the mirror and seeing it for myself. I look like I honestly belong by Damon's side.

"Are you decent?" I hear from the other side of the door.

I clear my throat. "Yes, come in."

"Ahh!" Caroline squeals. "You look like a porcelain doll!"

Kat just smiles along with her. I, myself, can't stop grinning. Seriously, my cheeks are going to hurt before we've even left.

I look at the time on my cell phone. "Holy shit." I say to myself, but of course they hear me.

"What?" they both ask.

"Where the hell did the time go? It's nearly six."

"Calm down Elena. I don't have time to reapply the make up that you'll sweat off." Caroline warns.

"I'm calm, I'm just nervous." I state.

"Imagine how Damon must be right now." Kat chuckles.

"Oh, I know right? He's probably a sweaty mess." Caroline joins in.

"What are you guys talking about?" Why the hell would Damon be nervous? "He does stuff like this all the time."

"Not with Elena Gilbert on his arm, he doesn't."

"Yeah." Caroline pours me a small glass of wine. "And I'm sure he's had dates to things like these, but there's no way he liked any of them as much as he does you."

I sip my wine. "Guys, I know what you're trying to do. You're trying to distract me with all this talk."

"Yes, but it's also the truth. And be careful not to spill." She points to my wine glass.

I roll my eyes. "I'm not two."

"Yes, but you are very clumsy... which reminds me." She hands me my shoes. "Slip on these babies and walk back and forth."

"What? No." I shake my head.

"Oh? Would you rather realize that you can't walk in them once you hit the red carpet? And when I say hit, I mean once your face hits the red carpet."

I sigh and snatch the shoes from her.

"I thought so." Kat says smugly. "These are a little bit taller than any of the heels you have in your closet, which is probably none."

"Whatever." I mumble as put them on. Then something occurs to me as I realize that they are a perfect fit. "Did Damon call you last night? I mentioned needing shoes and he didn't say anything about it so.."

"Yes, he did. And you're lucky. There's no way we would've had time to go out and find a pair of shoes that go with that dress."

"Oh my gosh, I will never be able to just mention anything again without that man going out and finding it for me." I say exasperated. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to sound ungrateful, but it's just weird... something I couldn't get used to.

To my surprise, and probably Kat and Caroline's too, I don't stumble once in the shoes. Sure, they're tall, but not too tall. Besides I would be sitting down most of the night.

"What would you have done if I couldn't walk in these?" I ask Kat curiously.

She reaches behind her and pulls out a pair of cute black suede flats.

Cute.

"Katherine Gilbert always has a back up plan."

"Can I keep those?" I ask longingly.

She shrugs and sets them under my bed.

Caroline clears her throat. "Hey, uh, Katherine? Did you happen to swipe any shoes that I can squeeze my size seven's into?"

"No, sorry." Kat laughs.

Then there's a knock on my door, and all of a sudden it's so quiet, you'd be able to hear a rat piss on cotton. Then all you can hear is a squeal building up in Caroline's throat.

How the hell does she do that?

Kat stood. "I'll go get the door." She has a huge ass smile on her face.

And for some reason, I don't feel too nervous anymore.

Caroline comes to stand next to me as Kat goes to let Damon in.

"Are you ok?" she asks when I start to fidget.

"Yeah, I think so," I whisper as I hear Kat and Damon talking in the other room.

"I'll go get her, oh and prepare yourself Damon," Kat says.

"Prepare myself?" he repeats.

Kat must have ignored him because she comes bounding into the bedroom and shuts the door.

"Oh-my-fucking-god Elena, he looks amazing," she says.

"He does? I don't wanna go out there," I state.

"Take a deep breath sis, you're going out there" she pushes me towards the door " alone. Now have a fantastic night and call me as soon as you wake up in the morning... understand?"

I nod "I understand." Caroline hugs me "Wish me luck." I whisper to her.

"You don't need luck babes, have a great time, I love you." she says.

I reach for the door handle and open the door slowly, Damon's back is too me. It looks like he's looking at the photographs again -weirdo-. I walk through the door, turn back and give Kat and Caroline a small smile before shutting the door gently behind me and I'm sure I hear them both squealing and laughing.

"Hi." I say barely above a whisper.

He turns around and the sight of him makes my knees weak, he's dressed in a form fitting black suit with a crisp white shirt underneath. He also has on a thin black tie and some shiny black shoes. His hair looks messy but still styled, if u know what I mean? And what do you know his oceans of blue are looking me up and down, he looks gobsmacked.

SCORE!

He clears his throat "Elena you look-you look absolutely breathtaking." he claims smiling that perfect smile at me and I swoon I think, yeah I'm definitely swooning right now.

"Well you don't look so bad yourself Salvatore," I decide to play it cool even though I'm fucking burning up right now.

He walks up to me, takes my hand, raises it to his lips and kisses the top of it "you ready to go beautiful?"

"Yeah in a minute, I just want to talk to you first is that ok?" I ask him.

He looks at me in-quizzically "Sure, whats up?"

I lead him to the sofa and we both sit.

"Well I want to start by thanking you again for the dress and the basket that was really thoughtful of you," I pat his leg "but for you to send people round with shoes and purses was the most thoughtful thing anybody has ever done for me..." he cuts me off.

"You don't..." then I cut him off I need to get this out.

"No Damon, let me finish first please." I smile at him "I know we got off to a bad start and I realise now how utterly wrong I was about you. The time I've spent with you so far has been interesting and fun, you have been a total sweetheart and I just want to apologise again for perceiving you how I did, it was wrong of me and I'm sorry," I take a deep breath.

"Well Elena you know what I'm going to say but you don't have to apologise or thank me for anything, if I didn't want to do these things for you I wouldn't. I'm drawn to you in so many ways, I just wanted the chance to get to know you, and the more I do the more I like you." he chuckles "Can we go now? We don't wanna be late," he winks.

"Ok. I get it, enough with the heavy." I stand up and offer Damon my hand which he takes "Lets get this show on the road." I say pulling him up.

When I pull him up he ends up flush against my body and we are looking in each others eyes and that never ends well. He starts to lean in and I brace myself because I just know I won't be able to pull away. I close my eyes and wait for our lips to meet but they don't, he places a long lingering kiss on my cheek.

"You know there is nothing more I want right now other than to kiss you, but I respect you and your wishes to wait until after this week, ok?" he whispers in my ear and I instantly regret ever saying that bullshit.

I nod my head, get my purse and we head out down to the car, which is a white stretch limo, of course it is!

"You really went all out, didn't you?" I ask as the driver holds the door open for Damon and I.

"Of course I did." He replies. "What'd you expect, a cab?"

I sigh. "No, actually I completely expected this." I smirk at him. "And I like being right."

"Don't I know it."

The ride is silent right up until he says, "Have I told you how amazing you look?" He leers down at me.

"I think the words were more along the lines of 'absolutely breathtaking', but yes, I think I get what you're saying."

"I was incredibly nervous." he blurts looking straight forward. "I've been to so many movie premiers, I can't even count them all. But this one, Elena," he lets out a breath. "No one has ever managed to make me..." he endeavors to find words, "like this. Struggling for words, anxious. It's not me. It wasn't me." He chuckles. "I can't tell you how many times I thought about opting out. Making up an excuse to not go, and maybe doing something a bit more low-key." He looked at me quickly. "And it isn't because of you, believe me. I just saw it as a huge step. Elena, you have to know that even if you were wearing sweatpants and a hoodie, having you by my side tonight is such a privilege."

I'm speechless, lost for words and I'm sure I look like a fish, my mouth gaped open after his little revelation.

Little?

Okay, huge revelation. Well it would seem that Kat and Caroline were right. He was nervous.

Oh crap. Damon's staring at me. I should be speaking right now, I don't want him to regret telling me all this. But as soon as I open my mouth to speak, I feel the limo stop.

It appears that the moment we just had flees both our minds suddenly. My heart goes into overdrive as I realize that in just a few minutes I will be stepping out onto the red carpet with Damon Salvatore. But it's different this time... it's more of an excitement. I mean, the nervousness is still there. It's like I've suddenly decided to stop worrying about not being good enough for right now.

Maybe it's what Damon said. All I know is that it doesn't matter as long as Damon wants me by his side.

Plus I look fucking hot tonight.

The door opens and Damon steps out and then I took his proffered hand. Screams seemed to come from every direction. Fans yelling Damon's name and to my surprise... mine too?

Damon's arm wraps around my waist and he pulls me into his side.

I'm walking the red carpet with Damon as if it's one of the easiest things in the world.

We're stopping about every few minutes to pose together and let the cameras flash in our faces.

Twice Damon has been stopped for a quick little interview. The first time I manage to lay low, even with Damon's arm wrapped around my waist still. But the second time a camera man taps my shoulder and gestures his hand for me to come forward and take a few pictures by myself. I'm a little hesitant at first, but Damon gives me a small smile and it's all the encouragement I need to smile brightly for the camera.

After I throw out a few more poses Damon comes back to my side as we pose together for more pictures. I feel like I'm on top of the world which is strange because I never thought I would like cameras on me but there's just something calming about Damon, he makes everything seem... easier.

We stop a few times for fans and he signs some autographs, when he's finished he puts his arm back around me and we walk to the entrance of the theatre where we wait for the cast of Twilight to show up.

"You ok?" he asks me.

I look at him "Yeah, I'm really-really ok."

"Good," he smiles at me and pulls me closer to him.

"Hey, how come they were shouting my name? How would they know who I was or that I was attending with you?"

"Word gets around babe." he smirks.

"Oh, babe is it now? That's new." I laugh then all of a sudden the roars and screams from the crowd are deafening I look round and low and fucking behold Robert Pattinson is there in all his glory. I stand staring at him, he's even more beautiful in the flesh.

"Elena, stop drooling." Damon says.

I snap my head towards him and scowl. "I am not drooling, and anyway there's only one movie star that I'm interested in." I wink. I don't know what made me say that it kinda just slipped out.

"Hmm interesting." he smirks "Oh and don't scowl at me like that, it makes my dick twinge," he mutters.

I glare at him "It what?"

"Nothing sweetie, you ready to go inside now?"

"Sweetie? Babe? Are you feeling ok?" I reach up and feel his head and I'm rewarded with his cute little chuckle.

"I'm fine, just thought we've moved to the stage of pet names." I stare at him like he's crazy "Relax pumpkin, I'm fine."

He has definitely lost it.

I shrug his weirdness off and we head into the theatre.

Eclipse was fucking amazing, honestly the best film of the three so far. On the way out of the theatre I had the chance to meet R-Pattz, Kristen Stewert, Kellen Lutz and Ashley Green it was just phenomenal. They were all down to earth and Rob was just as awkward and quirky as ever.

"So that wasn't that bad was it?" Damon asks me as we enter the limo.

"No it was awesome, thank you so much for taking me with you. It's an experience I'll never forget." I tell him honestly.

"Well I'm kinda hoping in the future they'll be more events I can take you too, I'm planning on you being around for a long time." he says looking out of the window.

"Is that so? Do I get a say in it?" I joke.

"You know you love it." he smirks at me.

And I do.

My cell phone buzzes in my clutch and it interrupts this moment of Damon and I smiling at each other.

"Who's that?" Damon asks.

"Most likely Kat or Caroline."

I check. I'm right, it's Caroline.

Omg, pics are flowing in like crazy! You and Damon look so HOT together! How was the movie? There's a pic of you and Damon talking to Rob, you lucky whore! When you get home you have to tell me EVERYTHING! Btw, you look so fuckin hot!

Car XOXO

I hear Damon's deep chuckle close to my ear and realize he's reading Caroline's text as well. I laugh along with him.

"Caroline's a little excited." I tell him. Excited is a bit of an understatement, ecstatic is a bit more like it. "Especially about Kat's show tomorrow."

Damon puts his arm around my waist. "She's not the only one. You know, I feel like this week has been more play than work. How about you?"

"Well, excluding the first couple of days where I was a confusing little bitch," Damon laughs out loud at this. "I'd have to agree with you." I grab the hand that's resting on my shoulders and lace my fingers with his. Considering we were fore-going other activities, hand holding in the confines of the limo seemed perfectly acceptable to me.

The after party is at some swanky hotel, but after about ten minutes there, Damon and I decide to head to a little pub next to the hotel.

"Another mystery unsolved. You're a 'long island iced tea' kind of girl." Damon says as I sip my drink.

I shake my head. "I'm an 'as long as it tastes good and doesn't get me shitty drunk' kind of girl." He chuckles and nods understandingly.

My stomach growls loudly.

"You're also a hungry girl." Damon observes.

I blush. "That is so embarrassing, but so true."

"Don't fret, my dear. They make food here too." Damon tugs on my hand. "We just have to sit at a table."

I shake my head, but sit down in the chair he pulls out for me anyway. "I'll ruin my dress, I just know it." My stomach growls again.

He shrugs. "Suit yourself, but I am starving." Just then a man covered in tattoos with a long black beard comes to take Damon's order. After he's done ordering he looks to me. "Last call." he warns.

I give up! "I'll have a cheeseburger and fries. Well done please." I tell the man as I unfold a napkin and tuck it into the neck of my dress to prevent any damage to it.

Damon arches a brow at me, amused.

When we get our food, I try to eat at a normal pace, but due to my hunger it's nearly impossible. Damon laughs when I claim that I'm full after only eating half of the burger and some fries.

"I thought you were starving?" he says chewing on a toothpick.

"I was. And now I'm full."

What was so hard to understand about that?

"Most of it is still there!" he laughs and points.

I look at his plate (he ordered the same thing, sans cheese) and see that it's clean.

"Well... that was a huge cheeseburger."

Damon shakes his head. "Come on. Let's get you home, it's getting late."

Before we leave, Damon orders something to go for the limo driver, and then we're off. The drive back to my apartment is very quiet, but comfortable. My arm is wrapped around Damon's as I lean my head on his chest. I'm not far from dozing off when the limo stops.

Damon walks me into the building and to the door of my apartment and then turns to face me. "I know you're probably sleepy, so I'll make this quick." He takes my face into his hands and brushes his lips against mine. "I had an amazing time with you tonight, Elena." he said against my lips.

I get it. This is as close as we're allowed to get before the week is over. But all this does is make me crave more.

So instead of applying that tiny bit of pressure to his lips, I say, "Me too."

He breathes in deeply through his nose before pulling away and smiling at me.

"I'll call you tomorrow morning." he says, and then waits for me to walk into my apartment before leaving.

When I'm inside I lean against the door like a girl in high school after a first date.

Tonight will definitely go down in history as one of the best nights ever.

Thanks for reading, please leave us a review. I've been so excited about this premier since we first starting writing this so your opinions would make me feel all fuzzy inside :)

*Smooches* till the next time...
