That afternoon, Lilly danced, drank and flirted a lot.

Like Damon didn't miss to remind her, she had a lot to catch up on.

Like Kol didn't forget to mention, she would have forever to catch up.

Lilly kissed Damon.

Lilly let Kol touch her in places that would have made Veronica blush.

Damon let Lilly touch him in a place that would have made Stefan blush.

Lilly made out with Kol.

She liked dancing with Kol.

She loved dancing with Damon.

She loved making out with Kol.

She liked making out with Damon.

She simply adored being touched by Kol.

She just loved being touched by Damon.

How could Veronica expect her to make a choice this soon? Seriously! Didn't people sample new food before choosing what to eat? Didn't people try out shoes or clothes before buying them? She couldn't just choose one of them now…it was too soon…

Kol drove her home around midnight and after eating some left over from the kitchen, she had her first night of vampire sex with him.

Of course it was great. More than that, it was perfect… She had never had anything like this before and she couldn't help but want more.

The next morning she made sure he knew it was just sex and non exclusive because she still needed to "sample" Damon. She also warned him not to look surprised because boys did "sampling" of girls all the time and it was only fair that girls got to do it too.

"Of course I understand Lilly-sexy… I just know that you won't be with Damon more than a handful of times… I'm just sexier, better looking, and simply more experienced than him." Kol had replied with an expression so full of confidence that it threw Lilly off for a minute.

.

While Lilly was enjoying her new life, Veronica enjoyed having Lilly around and shared her time between Klaus, Lilly, Taser, Sage, Bonnie and all of her new friends. She still emailed and called regularly Wallace, Mac, Duncan and Meg and it was hard for her not to mention Lilly. She just wanted to tell her Neptune friends "Hey, you know what, we resurrected Lilly and she's doing great!" but she knew she couldn't… They would have thought her crazy or high.

Right now, she was busy trying to find an excuse why Wallace and Mac couldn't come and visit during the summer… Maybe she could arrange for them to meet halfway with Klaus and her so they could have a little vacation away… Was it wrong that she didn't feel the need to see them? Was it wrong that she was totally fine talking with them only on the phone and through email?

Of course they weren't replacement for Lilly and now that Lilly was back she didn't care anymore… She knew it wasn't that… She just didn't feel like including them in this new life… If she did, she had the feeling that they would end up somehow involved in the supernatural and she wanted them to have a normal life… Maybe this desire of hers pushed her to change her feelings for them…

She made a note to try and see of Klaus could score Wallace and Mac the summer internships of their dreams so they didn't want to come anymore… Maybe she also should space out her calls and emails… pretend to be overtaken by life in Mystic Fall's… That would definitely be for the best right?

.

That day after school, Kol had to watch Lilly go to Damon and acted like he didn't care, like he was just as confident as he pretended to be that morning. The truth was, he knew that Lilly and him were meant to be… How? He didn't know… He just felt it deep in his guts and he was willing to wait for her to have sex with all the single men in town until she realised it.

It didn't stop him from hoping she would find out soon though.

.

Bonnie was confused.

For a moment, she thought there was something starting between her and Elijah but he acted as though nothing was there. If he didn't want her, then why did he look at her this way? It wasn't all the time… It was like he was fighting it and sometimes it was just too much and he couldn't hold it anymore so it was visible in his eyes or in the way he acted toward her…

But if he was fighting it, it meant he didn't want this right?

And what was wrong with Damon?

The night they brought Lilly back, he had driven her home and at first she thought she had done it to make Lilly jealous in true Damon fashion but he had acted like a perfect gentleman all the way and even opened the door of the car when they had arrived at her house… She knew he was trying to get Lilly in his bed but she had a feeling it wouldn't last… he was just trying to have fun through a little competition with Kol…

She closed her eyes a moment when she remembered Damon paying her dinner at the Grill two days after the full moon when they had ran into each other or how he was at the coffee shop every morning, ready for a quick friendly chat and paying for her drink… he couldn't start having feelings for her right? Could she fall for a vampire?

This got her thinking back to Jeremy…

He did sound like he meant it when he told her he was sorry about the whole Anna ghost kissing debacle… He was her ex best friend's little brother and her ex boyfriend… Would it be wise to try anything more? Did she feel anything other than friendship for him anymore? Did she ever?

She was so confused over this she didn't know what to do and she felt like she couldn't speak about it with anyone without being influenced one way or another. So now here she was, in her bedroom, thinking it over and over, not seeing a magical solution… She didn't even know who wanted to be with her and who wouldn't but it couldn't hurt sorting through her own feelings right?
