No smut in this one, but it will return next chapter in her first night in the apartment. let me know what you think and I'll try to get the next one out in the next few days.
"Damn it. He wont stop texting me." Elena whined as she walked down the hallway at school.
"Are you two fighting again?" Caroline asked exasperated. She were either fighting or fucking it seemed.
"No. We're not fighting. It's just. I cant see or talk to him right now." she said not wanting to explain her situation to Caroline.
"Why not?" she said not giving in.
"I'll tell you later." Elena sighed opening her locker and pulling out her books.
"Come. We'll go sit down on the quad and then you can tell me. You have to or else I'm going to fear the worst and think you're leaving again." she said pulling Elena out to the table.
"I'm not leaving again. It's nothing like that. I'm just so embarrassed." she said.
"What happened?" Caroline insisted.
"Well yesterday I skipped school to..." she said trailing off.
"To have sex with Damon. Probably all day and it was most likely very hot and sweaty too." she said oozing jealousy.
"Yeah. Well lets just say we were experimenting." she said her face going beet red as she spoke.
"Experimenting? How? Elena I need more info." she demanded.
"I really don't want to talk about this." Elena pleaded.
"Come on. Best friends talk about anything. You are obviously very uncomfortable with whatever happened between you two and I want to help you through it. As your best friend. This is all still fairly new to you. Maybe I can help." she said soothingly.
"Fine. We were doing 69 and he was doing such a good job on me that I lost control and bit him." she whispered, her face going even redder than it was before.
"Whoa. 69? Seriously?" she asked impressed.
"Didn't you hear anything else that I said?" Elena exclaimed.
"No. You lost me at 69 Elena." she said.
"Nice Care. Well I bit him. Down there. He was doing such a good job and I lost control. I bit him! How can he even want to be with me ever again after that? Clearly I am not nearly talented enough to perform such a sexual act." she ranted.
"Have you spoken since that happened?" Caroline asked wearily.
"Yeah. He's insisted that its fine. We had sex numerous more times after that." she told her.
"Then why are you worrying about it now, if its fine?" Caroline wondered.
"Because I woke up this morning feeling like a fool. I mean who does that?" she asked.
"And he's been texting you non-stop since you got to school." Caroline noted.
"I'm too embarrassed to even text him." she said as the phone started vibrating signalling that he was now calling her instead of merely texting.
"Go away Damon." she said without answering the phone and slipping it into her pocket.
"Are you ever going to talk to him?" Caroline asked.
"I intend on hiding from him until I move out and I cant avoid him anymore. I'll pretend that my parents have me under lock and key." she decided.
"Good luck." Caroline said as the bell rang and they got up and walked back into the school.
When lunch time rolled around Elena and Caroline grabbed their usual table.
"How many times did he text while we were in our classes?" she wondered.
"Six missed calls, all from Damon. And 15 text messages." she sighed.
"Oooh. I don't think he's used to being ignored." Bonnie noted.
"He's definitely not." Elena stated dryly.
"Why aren't you answering him?" Bonnie wondered not having been there for the beginning of the conversation in the morning.
"Um I'm not mad at him if that's what you're guessing. But I'm too embarrassed to talk to him right now. There are too many people here to get into details." she said.
"I see. I'm assuming by that you mean its something sexual." she said quietly.
"you could say that again/" Caroline coughed.
"Caroline!" Elena squealed as Matt's face turned an unhealthy shade of red at hearing any semblance of his ex girlfriends sexual pastimes.
"Elena. We need to talk." Damon said walking onto the school property and seeing her sitting there with her friends.
" Can we talk later? Please." she begged.
"Is this about what happened yesterday?" he asked knowingly.
"I really don't want to talk about this here." she said.
"Okay, I promised myself that I wouldn't do this. But how terrible was it to be bitten?" Caroline asked. Damon raised an eyebrows at Elena who sighed audibly.
"It wasn't as bad as Elena clearly made it out to be. I'm still alive and I'm recovered." he said.
"Okay. Bitten? What the hell are you guys talking about?" Matt said annoyed at being left out of the conversation.
"Nothing. Its just something awkward that happened yesterday. That I don't want to talk about. Please can we drop it?" she asked looking between everyone at the table and Damon.
"I'm guessing by the look on your face that I don't want to know. So I'll drop it." Matt agreed.
"Come here for a second." he said grabbing her hand. She willingly stood up and stood closer to him with her fingers laced through his.
"I thought we'd dealt with this last night?" he asked softly so no one else could here.
"We did. I just woke up this morning feeling really uncomfortable about it. I mean how could you still want me after what I did to you?" she asked.
"I heal very quickly baby. And I'm completely over it, it was more the shock than anything else. Just let it go and focus on your upcoming birthday party. You take possession of the apartment the day after your birthday. That's what I was calling you for." he said smirking.
"You got me my apartment? I love you." she said flinging herself into his arms.
"Yep. All major appliances, and I want to take you shopping for everything else. It'll be your birthday present from me." he said.
"I love you. You are such the perfect boyfriend." she said kissing him passionately, forgetting all about the previous awkwardness.
"I know you do. But now go sit down with your friends and eat your lunch. I have to go see Alaric. That's the real reason I'm here. I just assumed that your mom and dad had taken over your life again for the next three days or so." he told her kissing her once more.
"OK. I'll see you after school for a while. But only for a little while, I need to start packing since I now have an apartment to put all my stuff in." she said grinning.
"Go sit down. I have to go." he said escaping from her embrace and walking towards the school.
"What did you talk about?" Caroline asked curiously, annoyed that she couldn't hear them.
"I have the best boyfriend ever." she said dreamily. "Sorry Matt." she said when she realized what she said.
"It's fine. You're really into him." he noted.
"I am. I'm so in love with him, its not even funny." she told everyone, the stupid grin on her face getting even wider.
"What did he do?" she asked.
"Well I told you that he was getting me an apartment so I could move out after my birthday right?" she started.
"Yeah. I think that's amazing. We can all party there together every weekend." she said excitedly.
" Perhaps. But anyway I get possession of the apartment the day after my birthday and he taking me out to furnish it for me. He said I could decorate it how I want." she said excitedly.
"How much money does that man have?" Caroline asked.
"More than he knows what to do with. But I can't believe it, in a few days I'm moving out. And I get to spend all of my free time with my boyfriend." she said grinning.
Three days later
When Elena woke up in the morning she immediately grinned. It was her eighteenth birthday and the final day she would have to spend in his house. She heard a soft, tentative knock on her door and her mom poke her head in.
"Can I talk to you sweetheart?" she asked stepping into the room taken aback at the boxes surrounding her.
"Sure." she said.
"This is hard for me Elena. Seeing you pack up your things and move out. I don't want to lose you like I lost Jeremy. But I know that's what is going to happen if I try to make you stay like your father. If this is going to make you happy then you should do it. I can't lose you." she said.
"You won't lose me mom. I need this." she told her.
"Now, I'm sure I'll never approve of Damon Salvatore, but if he is what you want, I can't stop you. I just need you to be careful. You know what he is." she said.
"I do. He would never hurt me. I trust him implicitly. And I love him with all my heart." she said.
"I'm glad. But I bought you something for your new home. With the hope that you will continue to allow me to be in your life." she said picking up the gift wrapped box from the floor.
"Thanks mom." Elena said taking the gift from her mom and pulling on the bow. She unwrapped the gift slowly, savouring the time with her mom that she rarely had.
"Your father doesn't know about this. He said not to buy anything related to you moving out, so maybe you would stay." she said.
"It's amazing. Thank you mom." she said of the beautiful set of collage picture frames.
"I didn't want to get you something that you needed for you house. I wanted to get you something you wanted. You can put whatever you want in those frames." she said.
"Thank you mom. They are perfect. I'll find a special place on my walls for them." she promised.
"Your father is making breakfast. We should head on downstairs to eat. He expects you to spend all day here with us today." she said.
" I had planned on it. Damon and I are celebrating my birthday tomorrow by moving me into the apartment and going shopping." she said. Miranda closed the door and Elena pulled herself out of bed and got dressed. She could smell the bacon sizzling from downstairs and she hurried to finish getting ready.
"What did you two talk about?" Grayson asked when his wife came into the kitchen again.
"I told her that I didn't want her to go, but I am going to stand by and watch her. Gray we have to allow her to spread her wings." Miranda insisted.
"I'm not fighting her on this anymore. It's not going to do any good. Your mother is going to snap when you tell her." he noted.
"I know she will. I've avoided telling her this since it happened." Miranda said wincing. They both heard Elena come down the stairs looking happy.
"Good morning." Grayson said tensely.
"Morning." she replied just as tense.
"Your grandmother is coming over for dinner tonight. You have to tell her your news." he ordered.
"Fine. It was easy telling the entire town that I was leaving town. This will be easier than that." she said
"When is he picking you up?" he asked.
"Bright and early tomorrow morning." she answered.
"Sit. Its breakfast time." he said handing her a plate.
The day went by as she thought it would. It was tense and uncomfortable. The rest of the gifts from her parents were nice. She got a couple new dresses, a new leather bound journal, and a new laptop. When dinner time rolled around and Beatrice walked in, Elena sighed. It was the last hurdle to get over before she left tomorrow morning.
"Happy birthday darling." Beatrice said handing her and elegantly wrapped gift and kissing her cheek.
"Thanks grandma." she said opening the gift. She found yet another new dress nestled in layers of tissue paper.
"It's beautiful." she said, wondering if her parents and grandma went shopping together.
"I'm glad you like it." she said sitting down.
"I have to tell you something, so I'm just going to come out and say it. I'm moving out tomorrow." she said.
"You're what?"Beatrice asked calmly.
"I'm moving out. My boyfriend Damon, got me an apartment and I'm moving in tomorrow morning." she said.
"Damon Salvatore?" she clarified with a pronounced frown on her face.
"Yes. Damon Salvatore." she said shortly.
"Oh. That's not good." Beatrice said shaking her head.
"Let me put it in simple words. Without Damon, I would be in Richmond with Jeremy right now. Damon is the only reason I'm still living in this town. I became Miss Mystic Falls so now you can simply back off." she said slowly and deliberately.
"Well." Beatrice said clearly offended. Grayson and Miranda were silent, Grayson in obvious disapproval, Miranda with a mixture of shock and admiration.
"I'm going to bed. I'll see you in the morning." she said standing up and leaving.
"It's only 7." Grayson said standing.
"I"m tired. I'm going to bed.." she repeated as she walked up the stairs.
The next morning came and Elena woke up with a smile on her face, especially when she rolled over onto the hard body of her vampire boyfriend.
"Good morning sleepy. We've got to get an early start. I already took some of your boxes down to the car." he said smirking at her.
"Good morning." she said snuggling into his chest.
"Up and at em. Go get ready. If you want to be living in the apartment by the end of the day we have to get to work. Shopping then moving in. Great day. Lots of work to do. Chop chop." he said clapping his hands.
"God you're pushy. Fine. I'm getting up." she said swinging her legs out of the bed.
"You didn't have many boxes. They all fit in my car with the exception of two which are in your car." he noted.
"There's nothing I want to keep." she told him.
"What's in the boxes?" he asked.
"Clothes, and the few personal belongings I have." she answered
"Go get ready. I'll wait by the car." he said leaping from her window. She grinned and rushed into the bathroom to take a quick shower before packing up her toiletries. When she was done she grabbed her purse and the toiletry bag along before leaving her room and shutting the door behind her. She walked downstairs and seen her mom and dad sitting at the table.
"I'm heading out. Damon is outside and has all my stuff packed up and loaded into his car and mine." she said.
"Are you sure you have to do this dear?" Elena asked.
"Once you guys start approving of Damon, or even tolerating him, then come and see me. I live in the apartments on 4th." she said.
"Okay dear. Just be careful, and focus on your grades." she insisted. Grayson stood by stoically, still too stubborn to admit that he was wrong.
"I will. I have to go. We have some shopping to do." she said hugging her mom and walking out the front door eager to begin this new chapter in her life.
