Sorry, I know it's been so long again. Buut I had a concussion and wasn't able to write. I'm glad I can again. But then I was also busy with school ( I had 3 exams last week) and life isn't easy. But still I really hope you like the chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter 19- Hero

Everyone deserves a chance to
Walk with everyone else

While holding down
A job to keep my girl around
And maybe buy me some new strings
And her and I out on the weekends

And we can whisper things
Secrets from my America dreams
Baby needs some protection

-Family of the Year Hero

I still didn't know what to do about Damon. The last two days we just acted like nothing had happened at all, but still there was something awkward between us. Some kind of tension, no one other then the two of us could recognize. And yes, I didn't know what to do about it.

I had worried my mind about it for the last days and just couldn't find a solution. Maybe I should ask Caroline. I mean, she was together with Stefan now, so maybe she would know what to do. But I should probably wait a bit with that.

Okay that was a plan. If I still didn't know what to do on Saturday, I would ask Caroline for advice. That meant four more days for me to make it on my own. Okay, I really had to think about it.

'' Elena, are you still here?''

I was surprised by the question. I had really forgotten that I was still in Literature class.

'' Sorry Damon, so what did you say?''

Okay now I remembered. It was because of me sitting next to Damon that I couldn't concentrate on our project. Every time I looked at him, the dance was in my mind again. But now I had to think straight again. Okay Elena, you can do it. Just concentrate on literature.

'' I was saying that I think our project is as good as possible and that we shouldn't change anything about it. We just have to hand it in on Friday and then we are done with it.''

Did he mean he was done with me too? Or just the project? Or what? I was officially confused now.

But before I could think about it any more the announcement bell was ringing and then you could hear Principal Lockwood.

'' Attention everyone. I am really sorry that I have to tell you this, but the roof of the main gym is leaking. Therefore all activities in it today are cancelled. That includes basketball, boys and girls, volleyball girls, and the cheerleading A-team. We are taking care of the problem and hope that it will be fixed soon. All the affected pupils are supposed to look in the intranet. We will announce it there, if there will be class possible in the gym tomorrow again or if maybe you can use a different gym. Thank you for your attention.''

'' Wow, that means we have the day off.'' Damon looked at me. I couldn't tell what he wanted to tell me with that.

'' Yeah I guess so.''

Damon smirked. Now he looked happy. But I was still clueless.

'' Okay, so I was thinking that we should celebrate that we are finished with the project. And I wanted to ask you when we would continue watching One Tree Hill. I thought about Saturday, but hey, why not today, I mean we have time now.''

Oh, that was what he wanted to tell me. But I didn't know what I wanted to answer. Yes, I wanted to spend time with him, but things were awkward and I didn't know what to do about it. You know what, ignore the awkwardness.

'' Yeah, sounds great. When do you want me to come? And should I bring something to eat?''

'' Cool, how about 5 pm. And I can cook, so what's your favorite food?''

WHAT? He wanted to cook for me? How sweet was that?

'' Ehm... Waffles, but I don't think we should eat them for dinner. So why don't you just surprise me?''

'' Okay I will. But I promise I will make you waffles someday.''

He grinned at me. And I smiled back. This evening should be fun.

Tuesday, 06/12/2012, 5:02 pm, Damon's house

I was nervous. Again. I didn't really know how to act around Damon anymore. And so it was awkward. But I wanted to be near him and because of that I had to find a way.

So I knocked at the door. And I waited and waited.

After a long time, or at least it felt like a long time, Damon opened the door, wearing an blue-white checkered apron and with something smeared in his face.

I tried not to laugh but I failed miserably. So I started to giggle.

'' Yeah, hi to you too Elena.''

Damon tried to sound annoyed, but his smile gave him away. I still couldn't stop laughing, but at least I somehow greeted him. If he understood it.

'' Okay, Elena, please enlighten me. What is so funny? I know for sure it can't be my apron, because I'm sure girls love men who can cook, and my apron shows that. And I think I look really handsome in it. So what is it then?''

I then looked at him more carefully. And he was right. He did look handsome and the apron did make him look sexy. But I wouldn't tell him that. But despite that, I still couldn't stop laughing, because of this something in his face.

'' Damon...it's just that... There is something... In your... Face.''

It took me long to get it out, because of my giggles. And I think he didn't understand, because now he just looked confused.

Instead of trying to repeat it again, I just raised my hand to his face and used my thumb to wipe it away. He looked surprised by my action, but then I showed him my thumb with the light brown something on it and his face lightened when he figured out what just had happened.

'' Okay Damon, would you care to explain me what this is?''

I tried to stay serious and challenge him a bit. But staying serious was really hard and so a smile was on my face.

'' Mhh.. I think it's cake dough.''

I smiled even brighter back at me now. And then I had an idea. A crazy and impulsive idea, but I didn't care about that at the moment.

'' You think? So you are not absolutely sure?''

He shook his head, playing along. I think he wanted to know what I wanted to get with that.

'' Mhhh... Then I think I have an idea how you can be absolutely sure.''

I smirked and put my thumb to his lips. He immediately knew what I wanted and opened his mouth. He then licked the cake dough from my thumb and closed his lips around it. And then I was the one that was surprised by his action. He started to suck at my finger. My whole body started to shiver. I couldn't think straight anymore. I was just overtaken by my feelings and how much I wanted him right now. In my mind we were already half naked and in the living room and not still standing in the doorway, him licking my thumb. But the sensation was just too much to bare. So I looked down I tried to see his face. And when I saw his eyes I saw such an admiration and lust. And I wanted nothing more then to finally kiss him and tear his clothed apart.

We just started at each other for a few seconds.

And then the kitchen alarm went on.

Damon let go of my thumb and looked at me somehow... I had no idea how he looked.

'' The cake is ready.''

And with that we went into the house, saved by the alarm. Yeah, saved, who the hell was I kidding. We were disturbed by the alarm.

Tuesday, 06/12/2012, 6:02 pm, Damon's house

Oh my gosh. The food was delicious. I mean like heavenly delicious. I think I've never eaten something that tasted that well. And I didn't even know that Damon could cook at all and then that.

We had a Caesar salad for appetizer. After that we had some fantastic raviolis in mushroom sauce. I think I hadn't eaten that much in a long time. And now I felt like my stomach would explode any second, but Damon was just in the kitchen to get the chocolate cake and some vanilla ice cream. I was absolutely sure I would explode after that, but I didn't care. It was too delicious.

The whole dinner was fabulous. We talked about this and that and we laughed. Like a lot. He told me the funniest stories about some of his team mates or about teachers.

He also told me some stories of when he was a child. We also agreed about that Stefan and Caroline looked so cute together.

We only avoided one topic. Us.

I thought about bringing it up, but we had so much fun, that I didn't want to destroy that. Even with the dance and the thumb licking in my mind, I didn't bring it up.

Maybe this was just what we needed to clear things up between us. One night full of fun. Or maybe more than one, but just fun.

Then I heard Damon calling from the kitchen.

'' Hey Elena, can you already put the DVD in? I think we can eat while watching.''

'' Yeah okay.''

I walked into the living room and went to the TV. Okay.. Which episode did we last watched. It was the end of season one, but which episode.

'' Damon, which episode did we last watch?''

'' I think we watched the 21st episode.''

I looked at the description of the episode. Yeah, we had really watched that one the last time.

And the next one was the season final.

'' Damon, this one is the season finale.''

'' Really?''

He sounded excited. I think he liked the show.

''Yeah.''

'' Okay, I'm nearly done here. By the way, do you want sprinkles on your ice cream?''

'' Yes please.''

A moment later he came into the room with two bowls of ice cream and a delicious, still warm chocolate cake.

We watched and ate in silence for a bit.

We were about twenty minutes into the episode when my bowl of vanilla ice was empty.

I looked over and saw Damon still eating his and I started to pout.

'' How can you still have that much ice cream left. I mean you always eat much faster than I do?''

Damon giggled lightly and then smirked.

'' Maybe I just had more ice cream that you had.''

I stared at him in shock. Was he kidding? About ice cream?

'' Damon that is unfair.''

He giggled at my pouting.

'' Elena, if you want more, just get some in the kitchen.''

'' But I don't want to get up. You know what? Just give me yours!''

No I smirked at him.

'' No way. That's mine.''

He played shocked, but I could still see his smile.

'' But Elena, maybe, if you are really nice I could share with you.''

'' Damon, you know I am always nice.''

I looked at him with puppy eyes and winked at him.

'' Okay I'm convinced.''

I just wanted to take my spoon, when I saw his spoon full of ice near my mouth. I opened it and ate the delicious, cold food. Maybe I also moaned a little bit. But just a little.

Damon than continued to feed him and me alternately.

Okay, so I announced there would be some awesome Delena in that chapter, like the dance or something and I really planned it. But when I wrote there was so much more in my head and the evening got longer and longer and so I decided to part it in two chapters. So in this one is a bit of Delena. ( I hope you liked the dough scene and the ice cream sharing ;) ), but the next chapter is, at least in parts, also about their 'date' or whatever you want to call it. ;)

About the last episode of TVD, do I have to say more than ''You are my life''?

I really love how D and E act around each other. It looks so naturally. And I really hate the doppelganger bond and also this Tessa ( I think it's easier to write it ;)). And when Stefan couldn't remember Damon and Elena, I felt so sorry for all of them.

So enough about that. I try to write a bit more now.
