Surprisingly, I managed to sleep very well the other night. I thought now that Damon was back, sleeping was going to be hard; but no. I didn't have any dreams and I slept right through my alarm clock. If Aunt Jenna hadn't woken me up, I would have continued to sleep through it.

Outside was very warm considering it was February; warm enough for me to wear my mini denim skirt and fitted orange tank top. I usually didn't wear miniskirts, but I had an urge to wear one today.

School was the last thing I felt like going to; I knew that I was going to have to face Stefan sooner than later, I just hoped that it would have been later. Part of me wondered if he remembered anything about that night.

And last night with Damon, what had gotten into me? Why didn't I push him away, or why couldn't I? Last night, I felt almost as if I needed him, his scent, his warmth, his touch, his kiss –Oh what am I doing? Never, not once in my life have I felt lust like this before. It bugged me; hell it scared me! But for some reason, the feeling wouldn't leave. Damn, I am so screwed!

"Yo Elena, You're gunna be late," I hear Jeremy shout out to me. I let out a loud sigh.

"I'm almost ready!" I call back while brushing through my hair, my teeth and quickly applying on some makeup.

By the time I get to school, the bell has already rung. Before I can enter the school, I feel a hand grab my arm. Letting out a loud gasp, I spin around and let out a huge relieved sigh.

"Caroline?" I managed to gasp.

"Hey," she chirps. It takes me a moment to catch my breath.

"Why aren't you in class?" I ask while looking around to see nobody else was outside.

"I'm skipping," she says casually while shrugging her shoulders. I just roll my eyes.

"Well, if you will excuse me, I have to get to class," I say while trying to get back in, but she stops me.

"Nooooo, you're already late; just skip with me," she offers. Typical Caroline, not giving a damn about school. I was about to tell her no, but realized that it would buy me one more day to not face Stefan. Plus, I would have to tell her about him sooner than later.

"Fine," I sigh.

"I don't have my car, can we use yours?" Caroline asks. I just shrug my shoulders.

"Sure, but you're driving," I say while tossing her my keys. Caroline lets out a small happy shriek before dragging me to my car.

"Where are we going?"

"I have to meet up with someone," Caroline chirps while climbing into the car. Without waiting for me to put my seatbelt on, Caroline backs out of the driveway and makes her way onto the road.

"So who are we meeting up with?" I ask once I managed to place my seatbelt on.

"Stefan," she giggles. I could have sworn my heart dropped right out of my chest. What did she mean Stefan? I only came with her so I could avoid Stefan!

"Care, I'm having second thoughts; please drive me back to the school," I say while trying to sound as casual as possible. Caroline just gives me a confused look.

"What do you mean?

"Aunt Jenna will kill me if she found out that I was skipping!" I say frantically. Caroline lets out a loud sigh.

"She won't find out! Plus, you're already an hour late!"

"Caroline-"

"Elena, you are going to come have breakfast with Stefan and me! I've barley even seen you since Stefan's accident! Plus, Stefan has been trying to talk to you," Caroline blurts out.

"Why does he want to talk to me?" I ask cautiously.

"So he can thank you! After all, you were the one to find him!" Caroline cries out while pulling into one of Mystic Grills parking places.

"Right," I mutter under my breath. I watch as Caroline turns off the engine and makes her was to the grill. Sucking in a deep breath, I follow her.

"Here I go," I mumble to myself.

When I enter the grill, I managed to spot Stefan right away. He was sitting at a table across the room. Stefan was wearing a baggy grey t-shirt and light jeans. It was easy to see the bruises on his face; I hope they hurt!

Stefan looks up surprised when he sees Caroline and me; obviously he wasn't expecting me. He was probably worried whether I told Caroline his little secret or not.

"Elena? I didn't realize that you would be joining us," Stefan says while scooting over so Caroline could sit beside him.

"Yeah, sorry about that; quick change of plans," Caroline says while giving Stefan a peck on the lips. Oh how mad it made me that she was kissing that monster; but it was my fault. I hadn't told her about what he did yet, but she would know by the end of today.

I give Stefan a quick glare before looking at the menu. I could already tell by Stefan's face that he remembered everything he did that night.

"So Elena, I haven't seen you since the night I was mugged," Stefan states while giving me a weird look.

"Yeah, well I've been busy," I snap back. I could tell by Caroline's face that she was confused by all the hostility coming from Stefan and me, but she doesn't say anything.

"I need to use the ladies room, I'll be back in a sec," Caroline announces. Great! Did she really have to leave? The minute Caroline is out of eyesight, Stefan and I both drop our menus and glare at each other.

"I remember everything that happened that night," Stefan states; it sounded more like a threat.

"Good, then you know why I'm going to tell Caroline," I threaten while digging my fingers into the leather seats. I never was good at threatening people.

"No you're not," Stefan warns in a low tone.

"Oh really? And what-"

"You're not going to tell her because I know you lied to the cops," Stefan interrupts me.

"What are you talking about?"

"You told the cops that you found me lying unconscious, though you saw the man who beat me up! Hell, you even talked to him!" Stefan starts to raise his voice. I look around and it seemed that no one noticed Stefan's shouting.

"You're delusional!" I lie while shrugging my shoulder.

"Who was that man Elena?" Stefan asks in a dangerous voice. It actually scared me.

"You're not thinking straight," I say while trying to sound like I didn't know what he was talking about. I jump as I feel his hand grab my wrist; he held on pretty damn tight.

"Let go of me," I warn.

"Who was that man?"

"I'll scream."

"If you scream, I'll-" Stefan starts but was interrupted.

"Now that's no way to treat a lady," I hear a familiar velvety voice say. I look up to see Damon standing at the edge of my booth. Immediately, Stefan releases my arm. I quickly examine my arm for any bruises, but it was clear.

"Who the hell are you?" Stefan asks in a defensive tone.

"My name is Damon," he smirks while looking at me. Damon was wearing a tight black t-shirt that showed off his muscles, dark black jeans and black boots. His eyes seemed like a crystal blue color; when I was younger, I use to wish my eyes were that color.

Damon's black hair was tousled and he smelt strong of cologne; he smelt good. Stefan didn't look very impressed with Damon.

"Damon, as in Elena's boyfriend Damon?" I hear Caroline's voice ask. It was only then did I see her standing there. I couldn't help but wonder how long has she been standing there?

"He's not my boyfriend," I sigh while letting my shoulders slump. I was very grateful for Damon showing up at that exact moment; I would have to thank him later.

"We're friends with benefits," Damon smirks while winking at me. My mouth drops open at his words. Damn, he really knew how to make me ticked. I look over to Caroline to see she was checking him out. I didn't want Damon here; not around Caroline. I didn't trust him enough.

"No we're not; we're acquaintances," I sigh while rolling my eyes.

"Last time I checked, acquaintances don't kiss other acquaintances," Damon mumbles before sliding into our booth, so he was sitting beside me. My eyes grow wide as I look over to Caroline to see she looked more surprised than I did. Oh how badly I wanted to crawl under a rock and never climb out. Why would he say that?

"You don't mind if I eat with you guys?" Damon asks Caroline, breaking the awkward silence.

"No, not at all," Caroline murmurs while taking a seat beside Stefan. Caroline's eyes never left Damon; I could tell she thought he was attractive. I watch in silence as Caroline picks up her phone and begins to text. Not even a moment later, my phone starts to vibrate. I quickly check my screen.

You forgot to mention that he's hot! AND YOU GUYS KISSED?

-Caroline

I let out a loud sigh before replying back.

He's a jackass, nothing special about him!

-Elena

I could hear Damon's silent snicker; he probably read my text. A few seconds of silence pass before Caroline decides to start a conversation.

"So Elena, the valentines dance is coming up soon; what are you going to wear?" Caroline asks, her eyes never leaving Damon.

"I'm not going," I sigh while taking a sip of my water. It was that exact moment when Damon decides to place his warm hand on my naked thigh. I almost choke on my water as a spark of electricity flies through my body.

What a great day to wear a mini skirt, I scold myself.

"Noooo, you have to come! Please," Caroline starts to insist. I barely heard anything she was saying; I was too preoccupied trying not to squeal as Damon's hand makes its way up my thigh, playing with the hem of my skirt.

"I don't ... have a date," I managed to sputter breathlessly as I try to remove his hand. I do my best to try and pry his fingers off my thigh, and he takes it as an opportunity to grab my hand, so he was holding onto it.

I quickly glance over to Caroline and Stefan to see they didn't notice anything. Caroline was practically stripping Damon with her eyes and Stefan wouldn't stop glaring at him.

"Damon could be your date," Caroline offers. I open my mouth to say no, but Damon beats me to it.

"That sounds like a great idea, right Elena," Damon says while turning to look at me. I gasp as Damon slowly brings my hand inside his shirt, not far enough so Caroline and Stefan could see, but far enough so I could feel his flat muscles. His eyes were smirking at my reaction. I was doing my best to stay calm, but Damon was making that nearly impossible.

"Uh huh, sure," I say breathlessly without even knowing what I was agreeing to.

"Great!" Caroline chirps. Damon's eyes don't leave mine. God damn, why was he doing this to me?

"Can I take you're orders?" The waitress asks while coming up behind us. Immediately, Damon lets go of my hand and I quickly yank it back to me. It wasn't until he let go of my hand, did I realize what I had just agreed to. I can't believe I just said I would go to the Valentine's Day dance with Damon! Damon must have done that on purpose; he knew I would be too flabbergasted to say anything else.

Everyone orders food except for Damon; instead, he orders a beer. After the waitress was gone, I excuse myself to go use the washroom. There was no way I could spend another minute there.

I enter the women's washroom and look around to see no one else was around. Good, I needed the silence. My body felt overheated, no thanks to Damon. After spraying some cold water onto my face, I check the mirror to see if any of my makeup had run; it looked fine. It wasn't until the very moment did I see his reflection in the mirror.

"What are you doing here?" I hiss while turning around to face Damon. He raises his hands up, as if to defend himself.

"Hey, that stupid anthropoid was causing problems; someone had to stop him," Damon says while shrugging his shoulders. I couldn't help but to giggle to how Damon referred Stefan to and anthropoid. I hate it when I'm trying to be dead serious and something makes me laugh, I just hate it!

"You look gorgeous," Damon mumbles into my ear while slipping his hand around my waist, yanking me closer to him. I scold myself for not trying to stop him. My body tenses in his hold when his other hand slides up my back, keeping me as close to him as possible.

"What if someone comes in?" I gasp while pulling away an inch. Damon just smirks.

"No one's coming in Elena," Damon slurs while pulling me back. I let out a loud gasp as Damon hoists me up like I weigh nothing, and seats me onto the sink. It was much better than having the corner of the sink digging into my back.

Damon's lips meet mine and I kiss him back hungrily. I've wanted to do this so badly since last night. Stop this Elena, its wrong! Then why did wrong feel so right?

My legs wrap around his waist as a reflex; at this point, I had no control over my own body. It felt like an addict, and Damon was my drug. No matter how much I tried to fight him off, he always seemed to slither his way back. Damn him!

I work at getting his t-shirt off while his hands work their way up my thigh. Instead of stopping at end of my skirt, they travel further up until he could feel the edge of my panties.

"Damon," I whisper against his lips.

"Have you changed your mind?" Damon asks breathlessly. For a second, I was caught off guard.

"Huh?" I gasp while pulling away from his lips for a moment. His hair was messed up now, thanks to me, and he was missing his shirt, also thanks to me. I must have pulled it off and not even realized it. It was the first time that I have seen him without a shirt, and I didn't know how to describe it. He was beautiful; almost as if he were photo-shopped!

"About staying with me," he takes a deep breath in, trying to catch his breath, "willingly?"

I open my mouth to say something, but stop immediately. What was I doing? I couldn't even comprehend what had almost happened a minute ago. What was wrong with me?

"No, I can't," I mumble while pulling away from Damon. After quickly fixing my skirt, I rush out of the bathroom leaving a very confused Damon behind.

"Elena!" I hear him call after me, but I was already gone. I don't even bother telling Caroline that I was leaving; she would figure out sooner than later. Plus, she could always catch a ride with Stefan.

Halfway to my car, I stop walking. Something up ahead caught my eye; I knew what it looked like, but it couldn't be possible. I squint my eyes in order to see better. In a flash, it was gone. Shaking my head, I climb into my car. I was probably seeing things, I was just upset, and that's all.

For a moment, I could have sworn I saw Klaus.

Ohhhhhhhhhh

Anyways, I changed the rating to M, I'm not planning on smut (but that doesn't mean there can't be scenes that come very close to it ) ;D

And plus, its on M just to be safe. I hope you all enjoyed the little small sexy makeout scene ;D
