The two got out of the car and walked into the house. Elena stopped by the stairs and looked at Damon, trailing behind her.
"I think I'll crash down here again tonight. Just in case," Damon said.
"Goodnight, Damon," Elena smiled.
"Goodnight Elena," Damon went over and hugged her again.
After a while, she stepped back and made her way up the stairs, tossing a look back to Damon. He was already gone. She smiled to herself once more. Her heart felt heavy. Elena was exhausted and ready to crawl into bed with Caroline. When she opened her door, disappointment fell over her. Stefan had taken her place next to Caroline on her bed, both of them sound asleep.
Elena backed out of the door and shut it quietly. She tiptoed her way back down the stairs and towards the living room. Damon was lounged back on the leather couch. She sat next to him.
"Don't tell me you missed me already," he smirked.
"I got kicked out of my spot in bed. Caroline replaced me," Elena frowned.
"What makes you think I won't kick you off my couch," Damon's smile was crooked.
"Because I know you wouldn't," Elena crawled over Damon and snuggled into his side, placing her head on his shoulder.
"You're right,"
Damon hooked his arm around her, pulling her closer.
"I'm so glad you came into my life," Elena whispered.
He kissed the top of her head. Damon decided that he wanted to soak in this moment. He would drop the bombshells on her tomorrow. Right now was too perfect to waste.
Due to this short chapter I promise to make the next few very very worth while!
