He stopped under a tree and i looked up at him
" so this is you favorite placed, the middle of no where under a tree" he laughed and looked down at me
" no sirocco its in the tree but i thought maybe you would need some help climbing as you are such a petite creature" i froze he wanted me to climb a tree and wait did he just call me petite that was just a polite was of saying small granted i was small but i dint need him to say it. i narrowed my eyes at him and this seem to amuse him. i turned to face the tree and bit my thumb as i planned my route up.
there was a slight dip in the trunk of the tree so i placed my foot in the gap i pushed my self of the floor and grabbed the branch above my head and balanced my self before pulling my self onto it i sat with my legs dangling over one side and looked down to Damon who was watching with a amusing smirk on his face.
" you coming pretty boy" i was shocked with my new found confidence and by the looks so was he. he shook his head and stood under the branch i was on all he had to do was jump and he was holding on to the branch and pulling him self on the my branch he sat opposite me and smiled
" not bad for a small girl" he snickered as he said this . i scoffed loudly
" I'm not that small actually" he smiled at this and nodded with a sarcastic grin on his face.
"oh il mio angioletto i beg to differ you are very small and fragile its just so cute" i glowered at him a stood up climbing to the next branch i continued to do this and Damon followed till we was near the top . just as i sat down in it my phone began to ring. I sighed and reached in to my back pocket but it wasn't there and below me i heard Damon
" so who is Jake and i wonder how he would react to me answering your phone" i froze Jake was my step-dad he would go crazy if a boy answered my phone and i would be grounded for months.
"Damon please that my step dad and he will murderer me literally let me just tell him I'm out with mates please " i did my best at a pouty face and i worked he held the phone up to me i took it and when i awnsered it i was greeted with
amileia where hell are you i get back from work and the house is empty
calm down Jake I'm just out with some friend is met today
did you not think to call your mother or me we have been going out of our minds he barked down the phone
i know I'm sorry I'll be home soon
you bet your ass you will be and you are in so much trouble when you get in. the line went dead and i placed my phone in my pocket and looked down at Damon
"sorry i have to go home do you mind giving me a lift." he shook his head and began to descend the tree i followed him till i got to the bottom branch i sat down and got ready to jump to the floor but i was grabbed backwards by a strong pair of hands and placed on the floor i looked up and Damon was smiling triumphantly wise of m pushed away from him and began striding towards the car shouting back
" I'm not child i can do it on my own gosh" he laughed behind me and i thought i heard him mutter ' you sure about that "
i hated it when people treat me like child because of my size. he unlocked the car as he approached and we both climbed in the car and it was a silent ride apart from me telling him the directions to my house when we pulled up i took my seat belt off and turned to Damon
" thank you for today was mostly enjoyable and thank you for the lift home" i got out i began walking but bumped in to something i looked up to see daemons chest i craned my head back further to looked at his face and he looked down and me and he looked deep in thought like he was trying to find the right words to say to me just then my front door opened and Jake barked
" Emilia Sarah rose Genevieve parker get in this house this moment" crap i knew i was in trouble when he said my whole name with out thinking i stood on my tip toes and kissed Damon on the cheek his eyes widened in surprise as i murmured
"thank you again " i walked in to the house still in shock i had just kissed Damon Salvatore a boy i didn't even know on the cheek. i walked straight past Jake and into my room i really couldn't be bothered with getting told off. i got undressed and in to the shower the hot water relaxed me and i climbed out and i heard Jake shout up
"I'm going to get your mum and we are having dinner i want you in bed by the time we get back" i shook my head and flopped down on my bed grabbing my favorite book The fallen. I had read it at least 10 times. i turned off my light and fell asleep.
I woke up the following morning and began getting ready i decided to wear a new outfit i had brought the week before it was a red tank top with blue denim shot and red peep toe heels i was hoping to add some height i let my hair hang in loose curls and i made sure my eyes were smoky and my lips matched my heels. i checked my reflection before leaving then made my way to school. when i arrived i noticed Elena and Stefan getting out a car i walked up to them and as they saw me approach Elena wolf whistled
" you look hot girl, who you trying to impress" i blushed
"no one just thought I'd try something different"the bell went and i looked at my classes i had English first and i didn't want to face Damon but how would it look me bunking on my second day. i walked in to English late and Damon's eyes widened then narrowed and his lips pulled in to his smirk. i sat down next to him and just as i sat i heard his voice.
"well il mio angioletto you look simply mouth watering " i groan and he chuckled
" if you don't mind me asking what does il mio angioletto mean ?" this seemed to through him for a moment he opened his mouth to speak when Mr gill called the class to attention this made him smile.
" this isn't over " i hissed and he just laughed. at the end of lesson he got up to leave but i blocked his way.
"okay Salvatore spill" he looked down and me and shook his head
"i don't think i will il mio angioletto " i narrowed my eyes and stamped my foot
" then I'm not moving " i smiled to myself feeling proud to have stood up for myself when all of a sudden he bent over and pushed his shoulder to my waist hooked his arms around my bare legs and stood up i was hitting him in the back and everyone in the corridor was was laughing us.
"okay Damon you've made you point put me down please" he just shrugged and continued walking until i heard him say
" little brother i believe she belongs to you" i heard Stefan gasp and suddenly i was stood facing Damon i crossed my arms on my chest and so did he except he looked more menacing.
"who do you think you are? do you think you can just pick anyone up you please ? well i have news for you pretty boy you messed with the wrong person" with that i trod on his toe with my heel as hard as i could and he winced .then he bent in and i felt his voice in my ear
"game on little girl" i shivered at the feel of his breath then he walked off. i let out a deep breath and turned towards everyone staring Stefan grabbed my wrist and pulled me away from everyone he was surprisngly strong.
" are you okay ? did he hurt you?" i shook my head.
"I'm fine just a bit shaken " i looked down and could feel tears starting to brim over i don't know why i was crying it was so pointless i felt Stefan arms wound round my waist and pull me in to a hug i buried my face in his shoulder and i started crying i don't know why i just did and Stefan held me tighter then the next lesson bell went and i pulled away and wiped under my eyes.
" I'm so sorry i must be embarrassing you " he shook his head and smiled gently at me.
"don't apologies its fine now come on we have musical theatre." he wiped a stray tear from my cheek and pulled my mouth into a smile.
"much better" he pulled me through the crowds and in to class. we got the scripts today and she told us to chose the parts we would audition for. i flicked through the script and tried to find a low key role. one that didn't have a lot of lines when i heard Stefan voice in my ear.
" i think you would be perfect for Juliet " i looked back and his face was inches away from mine i smiled at him and leaned my forehead against his and whispered
"well only if you be my Romeo Mr Salvatore " i felt my breathing pick up a notched as he moved back. i took my script and tried to block out my face then i heard him
"Alas, that love, whose view is muffled still,Should, without eyes, see pathways to his will! Where shall we dine? O me! What fray was here? Yet tell me not, for I have heard it 's much to do with hate, but more with , then, O brawling love! O loving hate! O any thing, of nothing first create! O heavy lightness! serious vanity! Miss-shaped chaos of well-seeming forms! Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire,sick health! Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is! This love feel I, that feel no love in this. thou not laugh?" I stared at him and began to clap.
" your so amazing I'm think i just fell in love with you " he nudged me and winked
" your turn Mia" i blushed and found my scene i wanted to act i took a deep breathe and started
"Romeo Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo ? deny thy father and refuse thy name ; or if thou wilt not be my sworn love and ill no longer be a Capulet" i stopped and looked up at him he smiled just then the bell rung out and miss shouted we had to research Shakespeare and write a essay on him and his plays i groaned and placed the script in my bag and went to stand up when he placed his hand on my shoulder i turned to face him and looked uneasy.
" i was wondering if maybe you wanted to come to mine tonight and i could help you with the homework" i was shocked maybe one of the most gorgeous boys in America was inviting me round his house his face became worried and i struggled to get my thoughts together.
"yeah thanks Stefan that would be great" i smiled and so did he
"okay I'll meet you after school " i nodded and hugged him he seemed surprised but then hugged me back we stayed like it for a moment then i pulled back and waved walking to my next class. it was a blur and when i walked out i bumped in to something then i heard.
" well aren't you just the clutz i was looking for " i looked up and Damon was looming over me i narrowed my eyes and tried to side step him but he mimicked my motion.
"Damon get out of my way now" he just grinned and moved closer i moved back and soon i was pinned against the wall i looked down and gulped
"now my little buttercup i wanted to apologies for my behavior earlier it was most ungentlemanly like " i looked at him and he smirked.
" well i don't accept now please move i need to meet Elena " he shook his head and leaned in closer till his lips were a centimeter from mine and murmured
"make me little girl" then my instinct took over and i bent my knee and thrust it it with all my strength between his legs he doubled over almost instantly and i took it as my chance to run not before i shouted back
"not bad for a little girl huh !" i walked into the canteen and Stefan walked over to me i saw something flash in Elena's eyes and it made me become uneasy.
"you okay Mia you look scared" i shook my head and started biting my nails
" i just hit your brother in the groin and think ... he is gonna kill me " Stefan tried not to smile and hugged me i could feel him shaking with laughter and i pulled back and put my hand on my hips
" Stefan Salvatore this is so not funny" just then the door of the canteen swung open and smacked against the wall everyone shut up and turned to the direction and Damon stood there pure anger on his face i grabbed Stefan hand and backed into him.
" don't worry just stand behind me" i did as he asked but kept a firm hold on his hand Damon walked towards Stefan and stopped a few feet away from him
"you stupid little friend made a big mistake today" i flinched at his tone of voice and Stefan squeezed my hand he stepped closer and Stefan made no effort to move soon they were a breath apart
" little brother i suggest you move unless you want to taste you teeth" Stefan stood his ground Damon's hand formed a fist and he pulled it back. without thinking i stood in front of Stefan just as the fist came flying it stopped just a few millimeters away. Stefan tried to pull me back behind him but i shrugged him of and closed the distance between me and Damon. he looked down at me the anger was clear in his eyes i took a deep breath and started
" i don't know who you think you are you aren't this big boy who everyone is scared of your just a coward who thinks just because he is good looking can charm his way through life but your wrong and i can't believe some one so sweet could be related to such a sexist egotistical animal like you and i suggest you take you little group of apes and leave me alone" i couldn't believe i just said that but it was to late i saw his hands curl in to a fist and i couldn't help my self " what you gonna hit a girl because thats gonna make you cool" with that he walked away. i turn and faced the rest of the canteen and they were staring at me i turned to leave but Stefan caught my elbow.
" are you alright Mia" i nodded and pulled my elbow from him
" ill see you after school. is it still okay if i come tonight ?" he nodded and i saw Elena's eyes narrow . i tilled my head to the side slightly as if to get a better look at him and he became nervous and i murmured " your amazing Stefan don't you ever forget it." i turned away and walked to the libary just to get away from everyone i sat down and got my book out when a shadow cast over me blocking out the light i looked up in to ice blue eyes which where hard with anger i shrank back in to the chair as he placed his hand on each of the arms blocking me in. i knew he could see the fear in my eyes because he started smiling my body started trembling as his face edged closer i looked a the desk and the librarian was no where to be seen.
" its just me and you mia no one is around " his voice was like velvety smooth but there was a edge to it. i tried to sit forward but he shook his head and laughed " i must say i am amazed by you most of the other girl here do anything i want anytime i want "i opened my mouth and he placed two fingers over my lips silencing me " no you had your say now you listen to me " i swallowed loudly and nodded my head slowly not breaking his gaze. then the bell went and students started pouring out in tot he halls damon removed his hand and stroked my hair
" we will be seeing eachother very soon mia" and with that he walked off my heart was crashing in my chest and i coudn't breath i gott up and made my way to last lesson.
