AN: Wow, there have been so many reviews for this story! I feel like I have really written something people actually like! Happy new years eve or new years everyone! (depending on which day I upload) :)
It had been a week since the "Jenna incident". I had gotten him better clothes. Damon was starting to become more.. confident. He talks louder than a whisper, in fact he talks in a normal voice. He even laughs and does this little chuckling thing. It's safe to say that we had become friends, and it was nice.
"Damon, wake up." I groaned, shaking him.
It was 12pm and Damon had fallen asleep after breakfast.
"I'm up, I'm up." He rubbed his eyes before sitting up from the bed.
"Come on, it's lunch time!" I exclaimed. "Were going somewhere special!"
I pulled Damon off the bed and out of my room. On the way out, I grabbed a basket and a blanket.
"Where are we going?" Damon laughed as I pulled him out of the mansion.
You heard me right. Damon laughed! Told you he was getting better, a lot better.
"Somewhere where no one can find us!" I grinned back at him.
We made our way through the trees, revealing a field with a rushing waterfall.
"Wow.." I heard Damon breath out.
I smiled at him before laying down the blanket and putting the basket right in the middle. I starting unpacking the food and drinks when I could sense Damon smirking.
"I know, its cliché!" I sighed and he chuckled.
Damon sat down across from me and we both began to eat. I had taken a few bites of a turkey sandwich when I heard someone calling my name.
"Elena? Is that you?" I looked up and saw Caroline running towards me. Or, running as fast as possible in a big poofy dress.
"Hi, Care." I smiled at her as I got up to sit next to Damon. "Please, join us."
Damon gave me a look that I'm guessing said, "Why did you invite her?" I gave him an apologetic smile before turning back to Caroline. She was eyeing us curiously.
"Who is this?" She asked, smoothing her dress down while she sat.
"This is Damon. He's my.." I glanced at Damon. "Friend."
"Sure, Elena. Just friends." Caroline winked at me. "So, where did you meet?"
"Um.. Jenna uh.." I looked at Damon and he shrugged.
"She's gonna' find out sometime."
Caroline looked back and forth between us. She was clearly confused. Finally her gaze settled on me.
"Jenna bought him for me as a person slave for my birthday." I informed her.
Caroline's jaw dropped. She stared at Damon for a long while before glaring at me.
"Elena! He's a slave?" She exclaimed. "You can't treat him like this!"
Damon's right hand clenched into a fist and I cringed. Great. Did I forget to mention he has a bit of a temper?
"He's your SLAVE, Elena! He does things for you, he makes your life easier! You can do whatever you want with him and then throw him away! That's what they are for!" Caroline was practically yelling now and Damon's whole body had frozen, his hands clenched.
I touched Damon's knee. "Relax, Damon."
Caroline stood and towered over my sitting form.
"Have you completely lost it? He is not your friend!" And with that she stomped off.
When she was out of earshot Damon unfroze and turned to look at me. Rage was on his face.
"I just.. I just can't." Damon grunted, shaking his head.
We headed back to the mansion and I told Damon too go back to our room. Luckily, he didn't protest like he normally would if I would tell him to do something. I think it had something to do with him being so upset about Caroline.
"Jenna..?" I knocked softly on her bedroom door.
It opened and Jenna stood firmly on the other side. I smiled at her and she motioned me inside, shutting the door behind me.
"Elena. I haven't heard from you in a long time." Her voice was stern and I immediately got nervous. "Oh, who am I kidding? I missed you! Why haven't you been eating with me at meal times? Is this what teenagers do now? Hide out in their rooms forever!"
I laughed and she grinned. I missed hanging out with Jenna, she isn't as bad as she had been with the slaves. And she certainly wasn't as cruel to anyone as she had been with Damon that day.
"I know and I'm sorry. I've just been hanging around with Damon a lot."
Jenna's face light up with excitement like she was a teenage girl younger than me.
"What have you been doing with him?" She asked, sitting down in a red velvet chair. "Kissed him yet?"
I groaned and threw my hands up. "Why does everyone keep asking me that?"
Jenna laughed once before her eyes met mine. "Seriously! Have you?"
I just about threw up. I could never imagine doing.. that.. with DAMON!
"Earth to Elena! Tell me!" Jenna exclaimed, standing up and shaking me. She was still laughing.
"I haven't. And I don't want to! You know I'm not like that, Jenna." I confessed.
Jenna pointed at me and grinned. "I know, I understand. But isn't he just cute in the slightest of ways?"
I groaned and rolled my eyes. Maybe in just the slightest way, yes, he was incredibly cute.
"You stop!" I accused and she threw her hands up in surrender. "Don't say another word about it! I'm going to bed now, good night."
Before the door closed behind me all the way I heard Jenna peek her head out and whisper, "Have fun with Damon in bed!"
I walked faster.
