Don't worry the drama that could start at the end of this chapter, only lasts until the next chapter more or less. It's just a small little thing that I am going to use to further the trust in the relationship between D/E. Enjoy.
"I'm done." Elena said when she finished working with Matt that evening. She wrapped her arms around Damon from behind and kissed his neck.
"We're almost done here too. Take a seat." Damon said gesturing to the stool beside him. She pouted prettily and took a seat on the chair pointed out by Damon.
"Hi honey. How are you?" Grayson asked.
"I'm good. Tired. Had no idea the restaurant business was so tiring." she admitted.
"You looked busy out there. I heard all about your run in with the biker yesterday." he said staring at his daughter pointedly.
"Yeah, I supposed you would considering how buddy buddy you are with my boyfriend now." Elena said dryly.
"Isn't this better than us fighting?" Grayson asked.
"I guess so. But I'm really tired and I have to work in the morning. So I'm going to head home." she said.
"My house or your apartment?" Damon asked hopefully.
"My apartment. I work early and it is late. I'm just going to take a shower and then go straight to sleep. You don't need to come over." she said.
"But what if I want to come over? Even if it is just for sleep." he asked.
"We can hang out tomorrow. It's been a long couple days. I just want to go home and go to sleep." she said standing up and stretching.
"I'm holding you to that." he warned her.
"You do that. I'll see you tomorrow after work." she said kissing him quickly.
"Why don't you come here and we'll have a drink and dinner after you get off work. Then I'll be sure to plan something extra special for the two of us." he offered.
"That sounds awesome. I'm holding you to that." she said grinning.
"I'll see you tomorrow." he said kissing her once more.
"Bye. Bye dad." she said before walking out of the Grille and getting into her car. When she got home she immediately went upstairs to her apartment and locked the door. It didn't feel anywhere as safe when Damon wasn't there. Like she told him she would, she went and took a shower before crawling into bed and falling right to sleep.
The next morning Elena got up and dressed for work. When she was ready she left the apartment and drove to the newspaper where she immediately began her day. She loved her job. She loved everything about it. She loved her boss, she loved the work, and she even loved most of the people she worked with, with the exception of one or two she didn't adore but didn't hate either.
"Morning Elena." Dennis said when she sat down at her desk and booted up her computer.
"Morning. Anything you want me to do right now, or can I get back to the articles you asked me to edit yesterday?" she asked.
"Can you just photocopy a couple documents for me. Just three copies, one for me, one for head office and one to mail away." he said.
"Of course." she said getting up and rushing to the copy machine.
"Oh and Elena, take it a bit easier today. You've been working super hard lately and I know you've been helping your friend out at the Grill. You're only 18, take it easier than you have been. This is not life or death work, things can wait." Dennis called after her.
"Thanks Dennis. As far as I know I'm done at the Grill now. Matt doesn't need me anymore and I don't need to give my boyfriend anymore coronaries." she said.
"Do I want to know what happened?" he asked when Elena walked back towards her desk a couple minutes later after dropping the forms back off with Dennis.
"If you want I'll tell you, the incident as I like to call it ends up being a story about the weirdest new friendship I have ever encountered." she said.
"Now I am intrigued. Sit down and tell me all about it. I like hearing about your drama." he said clasping his hands in front of him and leaning on them.
"Okay. Well it was the other night and was helping Matt out. My boyfriend was there keeping me company. Everything was going well and then these two biker guys came in and sat down. The one was flirting with me but I ignored it. I know that Damon hated it so I assured him everything was fine. After I brought back their order the one biker slapped my ass and Damon snapped. He had the guy up against the wall in moments and was choking him. I stopped him from hurting him, and he warned him never to come near me again. The guys left and so did Damon. We fought I didn't speak to him for a while. The next time I see him he's sitting with my dad having a drink. Now they are buddies and its extremely awkward." Elena explained.
"Your dad and Damon Salvatore are friends?" Dennis asked bewildered.
"Yep. It turns out my dad thought that Damon was right in reacting the way he did and he respected that. Now they are drinking buddies and it is insanely awkward for me. I'm meeting Damon for dinner tonight and I'm going to question him whether or not he actually likes my dad." Elena said.
"Why do you care? Isn't it good that they're getting along. Makes family dinners much less awkward." Dennis said confused.
"I like the idea. But I'm just thinking that I want Damon all to myself. I am selfish with him and I don't want to share him with anyone, especially my dad." Elena said annoyed.
"I can see that. Young love and all. But that is definitely an interesting story. I can't wait to hear what else your life comes up with." he said.
When the work day was over Elena grabbed her bag and shut down her computer.
"Goodnight Dennis. I'll see you on tomorrow." Elena said. It was Thursday night and she couldn't wait to spend the entire night with her loving boyfriend. She wanted and needed him desperately. She got into her car and drove to the Grill where he said he would meet her. When she walked in her jaw dropped.
"Again? Are you serious?" she whined when she seen her dad sitting with Damon having a beer.
"I was sitting here waiting for you, and your dad walked in. We decided to have a beer." Damon explained.
"I guess dad can join us for dinner too." Elena said trying to insert some enthusiasm into her voice.
"Only if that's okay with you." Grayson said looking at his daughter.
"It's fine." Elena said brushing it off quickly, she didn't want to appear rude in front of her dad.
"Thanks sweetheart. Your mom is having dinner with some friends tonight. I didn't want to cook for just me." he said picking up the menu off the bar and opening it up. Damon passed Elena a menu and she opened it up and glanced over it momentarily.
"I know what I'm having." she said shutting the menu and laying it down.
"What are you having?" Damon asked.
"Mushroom and Swiss chicken burger with fries." she answered.
"I'm having the bacon cheese burger with fries. Yum. Bacon." he said rubbing his stomach.
"I'm just having a normal cheeseburger." Grayson shot it. Matt took their order and everyone sat in silence for a minute. Damon took Elena's hand and laced their fingers together on the counter at the bar. She smiled at the contact, it appeared he wasn't any shyer in regards to their relationship just because her dad was sitting beside him. He lifted their joined hands up and pressed a kiss to the back of her hand and she smiled even brighter. She could be annoyed at him and then he would do something simple like that and she would lose all trace of annoyance. When their food arrived they ate in relative silence. Damon finished his plate first since he didn't really need to abide by all the normal rules of digestion and started stealing fries off of Elena's plate.
"Damn it Damon stop it. Those are my fries." Elena screeched after he ate half her fries.
"I'm still hungry." he pouted.
"Maybe you shouldn't inhale all of your food." she muttered as she took a fry and bit into it.
"It wouldn't have made a difference. I would have still been hungry for human food." he said stealing another fry and smiling at the glare she gave him.
"Do I need to separate you two? Enough fighting." Grayson said.
"Like you could separate us. Elena and I belong together." Damon said confidently.
"I am more than willing to have you separate us. It will protect my fries from Mr. . . . . ." Elena said.
"Come on Elena. If I wasn't sitting beside you I wouldn't be able to whisper naughty things in your ears as you were eating thus getting you nice and turned on by the time we get home." he said smirking.
"Damon!" Grayson and Elena shouted at the same time.
"What?" he asked both of them.
"I dad is sitting right there Damon. He doesn't need to know all about our sex life. That is something we don't talk about in public. Just no." she said glaring at him.
"She's right Damon. I finally like you, I don't want to hear about what you and my daughter do in your copious amount of free time. I choose to believe you're doing crossword puzzles and watching TV. Not that." he said.
"Now that would be unrealistic Grayson." Damon muttered.
"it doesn't matter. It's time for me to go. I'll see you at the council meeting tomorrow night." Grayson said pulling his car keys from his pocket and leaving the restaurant.
"That was so uncalled for." Elena hissed.
"Sorry. I happen to like embarrassing the hell out of the two of you. And you know its true. You love it when I whisper naughty things in your ear. It gets you all hot and bothered." he whispered before taking her lobe between his teeth.
"Let's get out of here." she said huskily.
"Told you so." he muttered as he dropped a bill on the counter and left the restaurant with Elena in tow.
They barely made it through the door of the boarding house before they were tearing at each others clothes. They stumbled up the stairs leaving a trail of clothing as they went. Her bra was hanging from the banister and his shirt was laying on the stairs. Shoes and pants and skirts were littered along the way. By the time the bedroom door was shut both were naked and kissing passionately.
"Never make me wait so long again." he said as he kissed down the valley of her breasts before taking the left nipple in his mouth.
"It's not my fault we were angry and you have been spending all your time with my father." she muttered as he worked her body to a fever pitch. She felt his finger enter her folds and wiggle around a little bit.
"God." she moaned.
"Good huh?" he asked cockily. Deciding retaliation was necessary she took hold of his stiff length and rubbed him from base to tip over and over again.
"God damn it stop it Elena. Or else this is going to be over before it even begins." he warned her as she worked him until he was ready to cum.
"likewise Salvatore." she warned him.
"Come on you and I both know I can make you come multiple times before I even come once." he said.
"I know. But I want you inside me. NOW." she told him while to wiggle her hips enough to get him inside her.
"Oh fine. Such a demanding little thing aren't you?" he asked rhetorically. She grinned at him until he slammed into her in one thrust which caused her to let out one long garbled moan.
"Good huh?" he asked again.
"Shut up and fuck me already." she demanded as she raked her nails down his back drawing blood.
"God. You have no fucking idea how hot that is, that you made me bleed. So fucking hot Elena." he groaned as he fucked her hard from on top of her. Her body responded so well to his rough treatment. She moaned and writhed under him. Locked her legs around his waist to keep him embedded inside her for as long as possible. All through the movements of their lower bodies their lips and mouths never missed a beat. Tongues duelled and teeth clanked occasionally as they devoured each other.
"I'm so close." she moaned. He could feel how close to orgasm she was so he picked up his pace trying to get there at the same time as her.
"God. Oh my God. Damon!" she called out in ecstasy when her orgasm hit. He exploded inside her moments after and the waves of orgasm washed over them both, completely sating the entire couple.
"I never did thank you for defending me against the biker." she murmured against his chest after they both semi recovered.
"You don't have to thank me. I will always defend you." he told her tenderly.
"I still feel like I should thank you." she said.
"There are always ways you can thank me." he said smirking widely which caused her to shake her head in mock annoyance.
The next day Elena woke up with an odd sense of dread hanging over her. She didn't even know why. As far as she knew nothing bad was happening today.
"Let me guess you're heading off to work." Damon muttered with his head still buried in the pillow.
"Sadly yes. Today is one of those days I would rather just stay in bed." she whined.
"I can't argue with that idea. Come on. Stay with me today." he insisted.
"Love to but cant. I have work to do at work. Imagine that." she said walking to the closet and pulling on a pair of black dress pants and a royal blue blouse.
"You look amazing. Where your black shoes that you always leave here." he insisted. She put them on her feet and admired the look.
"They're perfect. Thanks baby." she said walking over and kissing him.
"Look at my hot and sexy working girl." he said proudly.
"I'll see you after work sometime. I just need to stop off at the apartment to pay some bills after work and then I'll come over here." she told him.
"I could always pay the bills for you." he offered.
"No. I need to do it on my own." she insisted kissing him once more. "I have to go."
"Fine. I'll see you after you get off work. I will sit here and miss you until you get here." he said pouting adorably.
"Let me guess "miss you" means masturbate over and over again, right?" she asked.
"You know me too well." he said smirking. We smiled back at him and kissed him once more before leaving the house.
The day went by fairly quickly but no matter what Elena tried to couldn't shake the feeling of dread inside her. It was like her entire body was priming itself for something bad to happen. The problem was that she didn't even know what could go wrong. She watched over her shoulder in a paranoid manner as she left the building after work. She couldn't get rid of the feeling that she was being watched. It had been a feeling she had been feeling since she left Damon's house that morning. She spun around and looked behind her constantly but she never seen anyone remotely suspicious. Once she pulled into the underground parking lot of the apartment building she got out and came face to face with the other biker from the night before.
