Chapter 3: Back to A Life of Boredom

Hey, the FUN DETAILS start from now onwards. Sorry if it's odd. :D I don't usually write details. I'm a shy ass, what can I say? Thanks for reading people :)

Horns blasted through the street. Angry drivers were out this morning. Considering it was a Friday morning, it was surprising. Usually people are so calmed and relaxed on Friday because it's the last day for the weekend. Guess everyone is irritated about coming to work. Pulling into the car park, Elena took her ID badge between her teeth as she reversed into a car space. She didn't know what to expect today. Sorting her ID badge out, she climbed out of the car and shut the door.

"What a beautiful morning." Elena murmured, smiling softly as she felt the heat. Looking up, she seen Damon's car pulling in and ducked quickly. Close one.

Today was about avoiding him because she found that was the better alternative then being near him and trying to resist him. Letting out a breath, she heard the engine turn off as the door slammed shut. Stay in cover and you'll be fine. Poking her head around, she seen him staring at her car with a smirk as he walked on inside.

Letting out a sigh of relief, she got up and brushed herself down. She had this in the bag. Walking towards the door, she took in the fresh air and stepped inside. Looking around the lobby, she smiled heading towards the elevator as she showed the security guards her ID. P.A to Damon Salvatore. Ha. Ha. Haaa. It sounded as funny as it felt. The elevators door opened and she went to step in, but seen Damon looking at her with a grin. Just as quickly, she stepped back as he latched his hand around her arm.

"No you don't." He tugged her arm she as flew forward into the elevator and banged into his chest. "Good day Harris."
"Mr Salvatore." The security guard nodded at him as the elevator doors slid to a close.
"Nice try Gilbert. You can't get away from me if you tried." He whispered, his lips brushing against her ear.
"I can get away anytime I want Mr Salvatore." Elena told him, pulling away and leaning against the other wall, staring at him with flushed cheeks.
"Except that you don't want to. You're just fighting what you don't want to feel." Damon told her, moving close as he placed his hands at either side of her head.

"That's an awful smart sentence coming from you." She told him, giving him a look.
"Oh sweetheart...this...what were in is all mine. So I can tell you, I'm the fucking smartest you will get." He whispered against her cheek as her eyes fluttered close in response. Oh, this was failing big time. SHE was failing big time.

Typing away on her computer, she looked at the document every now and again and continued typing. As soon as the elevator had opened, she ran for her office, leaving Damon behind. 10 minutes later, Nancy brought her a letter that Damon needed typed up. She was thankful he hadn't brought it himself. The ignoring him was more complicated than she thought. Well HE was the one making it that much more complicated. That elevator act this morning, she nearly fell to her knees when she seen him.

Hearing her phone ring, she looked at it and bit her lip. Did she want to get it? She had work to do after all. Licking her lips, she finished typing the letter and let the phone ring. Printing it off, she got up and walked over to the printer and took the document and put it into an envelope. That's that done. Writing on it, she cello-taped it over and looked over as the phone sprang to life again. Placing the letter down on the desk, she lifted the phone and rubbed her neck.

"Elena Gilbert, personal assistant to Damon Salvatore..." Elena answered cheerfully.
"If you were my personal assistant, YOU would be at my beck and call, not avoiding my phone calls!" Damon told her.
"I'm trying to do your letter in peace Damon! You'll have to get over it!" She snapped at him as she heard his husky chuckle down the phone.

"Oh Elena...sweetheart, you continue to surprise me. I want you in my office pronto, alright?" Damon questioned as she let out a breath.
"No." Elena told him bluntly, feeling brave as she leaned against the desk on shaky legs.
"No? Did you just tell me no Miss Gilbert?" He repeated as she could almost see the deep blue eyes and raised eyebrows.
"Yes I did. I'm not coming to your office. End of." Closing her eyes, she tried to calm herself as her breathing picked up.
"You're coming or I will personally COME and get you myself. Your choice." He told her strictly.
"I choose neither, good day Damon!" Slamming the phone down, she cursed. Fuck. She was in trouble.

Picking up her bag quickly, she opened the door, rushing out and closed it over as quick as she could. Looking up the hall, she could see Damon walking out of his office and went wide-eyed as she rushed to the elevator as fast as she could and hit the button repeatedly. Looking to the side, she seen him walking down the hall towards her, not seeing her yet as he was checking his watch. Looking at the floor, she seen it was two floors from her.

"Elena!"

Turning around, she seen him jogging up the hall towards her, knowing her intention as she quickly jumped into the elevator as it opened and hit the
button, directing it to the ground floor. Damon appeared in front of the elevator, just as the doors shut causing Elena to let out a sigh of relief. Oh, that was lucky.

That was no where near lucky...it was a death strike. Leaning back against the elevator wall, she smiled softly. Up yours Salvatore. Don't mess with a woman who holds many talents.

After a long day, she tugged her jacket on over her shoulders and turned her computer off. She hadn't seen Damon for the rest of the day. After the elevator fiasco, she went for her lunch and then came back. He hadn't been waiting or anything. She didn't know if she had ticked him off or what not. It was only a harmless joke to get away from him that is. He can be such a...knob? Yup. That describes him perfectly.

"Goodnight Nancy." Elena called to her as Nancy waved with a cheery smile.
"Goodnight Miss Gilbert!" The brunette stepped into the awaiting elevator laughing. A couple of words with a girl who snaps your head off and she is wrapped around your finger.

Getting to the lobby, she smiled at Harris the security guard. She had met him briefly this morning whilst in the elevator with shit bollocks. Laughing, she went outside and over to her car, almost skipping. Today had funnily enough been a good turn out. No idiots disrupting her work. She felt great. Now it was time to head home to a hot bubbly bath.

"You didn't fuck him then?" The blonde asked, sitting at the counter.
"You're a slut." Elena responded, sipping her water as the girl shrugged with a grin.
"A fun slut. You should take a lesson from my book Lena."
"I'll be taking no lessons from your book, thank you. You have a BAD book. If you don't mind, I'm going for a bath, alright?"

Walking into her room, she sighed softly and kicked her heels off as she stretched her toes and got them use to the comfort of the carpet. Moving into her en-suite, she leaned over the tub, turning the tap as it began filling up and poured some bubble bath into it. All ready.

"Have fun with your bath! I'll let you know if lover boy calls!" Rolling her eyes, Elena stripped down bare as she studied herself in the mirror. Every mans worse nightmare. Tying her hair into a tight bun, she rubbed her neck as it felt stiff. Work was going to be the death of her. I.e. her jackass of a boss.

As she got into the bath, she let out a sigh of content and slid into the bubbly fury. It felt fresh against her skin. Vibrant. All her muscles relaxed instantly as if they had been on guard all day. In all fairness, they had. Every corner she turned, every corridor she walked, she was waiting for something. But to her surprise, nothing came. She had plenty of time to worry about her excuse for late nights lately. Right now, she just wanted to relax in the sensation that was being evoked upon her body.

Brushing her teeth, she closed her eyes as she felt the tiredness taking over. She could crawl into bed right now and not care. Even if she was wet and just in a towel. Lucky for her it was Friday, sleep in tomorrow. Grinning, she rinsed her mouth out and dried her face. Fresh as a daisy. Pushing the door open, she tugged the bathroom light cord, knocking the light out and made her way into her bedroom. Coming to a dead stop, she gasped.

"Damon!" Elena yelled in surprise, trying to cover herself as best as she could. The tighter she pulled, the shorter the towel became, making her nervous.
"Hello Elena." Damon's voice was cool, calm, collected. Nothing like her then.

Looking over her, his blue crystal eyes showed the emotions running through him. They were laced with desire, hope, fury, even anger. Chewing on her puffy lower lip, she cleared her throat and crossed her arms, trying to play it cool.

"Is there a reason you're in my bedroom at 11'o'clock at night? Or are you a stalker now?" Elena questioned, walking to her set of draws as she looked through.
"Such a smart mouth Miss Gilbert. A beautiful tempting young mouth." He spoke under his breath as his fingers traced the bed sheets, "Silk."

"Well at least we know your not a needle out of a hay stack." Picking out underwear, she smiled, looking at them.
"Miss Gilbert, are you insulating that you thought I was dumb?"
"Yup. Can't put it any clearer then that I'm afraid." Shrugging slyly, she slipped her panties on under the towel, fully aware that he was watching her every move.

"You're a very tempting young woman." Getting up from the bed, he stormed towards her as she held her hand out.
"Uh uh...stay back mister. No hands on me while I'm like this." She warned him, her eyebrows furrowing. If he touched her she'd fall to her knees. She knew it.

"You know you really want me to Elena. Just one...little...innocent touch. A touch that will make you thrive and drive you crazy. Or maybe your scared that your inner goddess will come out to play and push away what your scared of?"

"And what would that be?" Elena spat, getting annoyed. What the fuck is an inner goddess?
"Me." Damon told her, pinning her against the wall as he forced his lips onto hers, kissing her with all the frustration and passion he felt.

Gasping into the kiss, she tried to fight against him, but deep down knew she wanted this. She was tired, sexually frustrated and running out of patience. She didn't care about self-control anymore. All she needed was him, here and now. Gripping his black locks between her fingers, she tugged him close and bit into his lower lip, drawing a moan from him, giving her the opportunity to slip her tongue into his awaiting mouth. He tasted of mint. It was fresh and almost worthy of exploding.

Damon pulled her towards the bed and lowered her onto it as he splayed kisses along her chest, causing a moan to erupt deep within her throat. She raked her nails through his hair and then moved her hands under his shirt to drag her nails down his back. Groaning, he began kissing her again and cupped her breast through her towel, slowly massaging it as she gasped in response. He had the touch of a god.

"Elena I...woah...sorry...pg 13 people." Caroline covered her eyes and put a plate of Oreo's on the side as she walked back out, closing the door.

The brunette nearly screamed in frustration. She was going to kill her. She tells her to get some and fucking ruins it. She would love to have her head on a stick right now. Damon stared down at her, his blue eyes light and amused.

"Hi." He murmured, stroking his thumb across her cheek.
"Hi to you too." She whispered as he leaned down to brush his lips against hers softly.
"Can we go for dinner tomorrow night? To talk?" He stroked her hair back as she stared up at him.
"Yeah sure. I can do that." Pushing himself up, he grinned.
"Okay, pick you up at 7." Before she could object, he was gone, causing her to groan in annoyance. Why was her life so fucking hip happening perfect. Oh wait, it wasn't, because she didn't have him AGAIN.

Oh what was her world coming to. Oh well. Tomorrow night would tell all. Whether it be sleeping with her boss or returning back to a life of boredom.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed :)
