I'm so so sorry. I know it's been way too long. I missed writing so much, but I just didn't have the time. I'm also not sure when I can write again. I have a lot of exams and other stuff at the moment and in 4 months are my finals. I still try to write as much as ppossible, because I just love it, but unfortunately I just can't a lot at the moment. So please try to be patient. I promise I'll finish this story, it just takes a bit of time. I still have a lot planned for it :D

But now to the most important part. Here is the new chapter ;)

Chapter 23- Dear Darlin

Dear Darlin', please excuse my writing.
I can't stop my hands from shaking cos I'm cold and alone tonight.
I miss you and nothing hurts like no you.
And no one understands what we went through.
It was short. It was sweet. We tried.

And if my words break through the wall and meet you at your door, all I
Could say is:
"Girl, I mean them all."

- Olly Murs Dear Darlin

I woke up completely happy and also completely relaxed. I hadn't slept this well in a while. Damon's bed was just so comfortable and him being next to me wasn't that bad either. I have to admit, I already planned on spending every weekend here with him.

His chest was thousand times better than my pillow, and my blanket had nothing against his arms around my waist.

So I just stayed in bed a bit longer, enjoying his scent in my nose, the warmth wrapped around me. When I finally was fully awake I turned around and expected to collide with Damon, but instead I was met with an empty bed.

Disappointment started to flood me. Maybe he already regretted last night, so he left?

Just when tears started to fill my eyes, I recognized an amazing smell. My stomach immediately responded with a loud growl, so I got out of bed and walked down the stairs. My nose guided me into the kitchen.

What I saw there made me smile like some crazy person. Damon was standing there, still shirtless, making waffles. His hair was in a sleepy mess, but his mood seemed better than ever before.

He didn't realize I was there, so I decided to just stand in the door frame a bit longer and enjoy the view. The smile never left my face. He just looked so adorable, but still sexy at the same time. His perfect abs moving with his every move. I wanted to touch them so badly, but then I would have to reveal myself and I wanted to enjoy it just a little longer. My pan failed miserably when he turned around.

I got one of his typical smirks, but it was more joyful than usual. Like two magnets we were immediately drawn together and his lips found mine. The kiss was even better than the one yesterday. Maybe because of last night. Maybe it was only because I knew that I could kiss him whenever I wanted now. About that I had to smile again.

It was more or less a short kiss, depends on what compared to.

'' So good morning sleepy head. I was up early and decided to make breakfast. And there was also a promise left open, so I made-''

I didn't let him finish. Only remembering the promise he made, I throw my arms around his neck, my feet struggling his waist and my lips crashing back on his. He deepened the kiss and we were just standing there kissing for a while. When I was out of air he released me again.

'' - waffles.'' I finished for him. '' I love them. There's only one thing I love more than waffles.'' I teased him. His face froze for a second, before he looked worriedly at me.

'' And what is it Lena?''

I chuckled a bit and then pointed with my index finger to his nose.

'' You.'' And with that he kissed me again, this time only finishing when my stomach growled so loud you could probably still hear it at the neighbor's house.

'' Yippiiiiiieee.''

I just had to laugh. Caroline's happiness was just too much to take it serious. She had asked me to go to the movies with her and we decided to eat something before.

So after eating dinner, we were now on our way to see Pitch Perfect. I had no idea what the film was about, but Caroline said she only heard good things about it, so now we were going to see it.

We were seated with popcorn and drinks in the cinema. Next to Caroline sat a couple, which was deep in a conversation, if you know what I mean. I guess you could have killed someone next to them and they wouldn't have realized it.

Next to me was a group of guys, probably around the age of 18 or 19. I had no idea what they did here, because from what Caroline had told me, that was more a girls film than an action film.

But I didn't really care. Today wasn't about getting a guy. I had enough of them at school.

Today I just wanted to spend some quality time with my roommate and have some girlstalk.

Because I could really use a friend here. And Care had tried her best to get to know me, so now it was my turn. She had helped me with getting in the squad and so this evening was me saying thank you to her. Maybe we could even go and sit down and drink something later.

'' So Care, tell me, any guy you are interested at the moment?''

She looked at me a bit shocked, before grinning again.

'' No, not at the moment. What about you? Is someone of this weeks boytoys your one true love?'' She meant it sarcastically. I knew that and so I giggled a bit.

'' No not really. I think I have to keep looking for the right frog I can turn into a prince. I just have to keep kissing all the wrong ones to find the one.''

Caroline erupted into laughter. She got used to my behavior in the last weeks. She didn't support it, but she didn't judge me for it either. That was what I like about her from the beginning. She accepted everyone just like they were.

We joked around a bit more. When the film started I felt a hand on my thigh.

It belonged to the guy sitting next to me. I hated how the hand felt there, but I didn't want to make a scene in here so I just put the hand away and looked at the guy.

He looked back and just grinned. Looking at him closer I realized he looked totally stupid, like he wouldn't know the answer to 1+1.

So I just looked at him angrily and turned back to the screen, but after a few seconds his hand was back on my thigh. I really was angry now. Was it too much to ask for just to spent some time with a friend without any difficulties.

So I turned back and whispered: '' Would you please stop touching me?''

I tried to stay calm. This guy was really annoying me.

'' Oh come on babe. I know you like it. How about we get out of here? My room is just a few minutes from here.''

Erghhhh. Could this get any worse? That was the worst pick up line ever.

I just shook my head in disgust.

'' Not even if we were the two last living people on earth.'' With that I turned back once more. But he really was dumb. His hand was again on my thigh. Before I could do anything Caroline stood up beside me.

'' Lena I'm going to the bathroom.''

She just took two steps before she slipped and nearly fell. But she spilled her drink all over the jeans of the guy next to me. And then I got it. She did it on purpose. I tried to stay serious.

'' Can't you watch out.''

Caroline acted like she was sorry. '' Ohh. I didn't want that.''

But the guy just stood up and left.

'' Bitch.''

When he left Caroline and I erupted in laughter and also the friends of the guy started to laugh out loudly.

We tried to focus again, but it was just impossible, so we left.

'' Did you see his face?''

Caroline still couldn't stop laughing and every time she made a comment about it I started to laugh, too.

So we spent the rest of the night laughing and talking in between.

Sunday, 11/12/2012, 1:15 pm, Damon's house

'' Daaaaamooooooon!''

I didn't know what to do. It was just impossible. Why hadn't I thought about that before.

Damon came trough the door running, out of breath.

'' What is it Lena?'' He looked truly worried.

'' I can't go back there.'' I really couldn't. My plan was bad from the beginning. Why the hell couldn't I have waited until the night was over? Why did I have to be impulsive just once?

No I had a problem.

'' I came here in my Pj's, and now I have nothing to wear. And I can't go back there in my Pajamas, what would all the others think? They just forget about my being a slut.''

Now I was on the erge to cry. Maybe one or two tears even escaped from my eyes. When they did Damon was at my side in just a second, his arms immediately pulling me close to him.

'' Hey, there's no reason to cry, okay? This is a happy day. At least I am happier than ever.'' He hold up my chin and forced me to look him in the eyes. His lips formed a smile and I just had to smile back at him. '' Good girl. And now we can figure something out for you to wear. I mean, you are in the design class, that shouldn't be too hard. And I'm here willing to get you everything needed.''

He caressed my cheek, and wiped my tears away with his thumb. Then he hold me just a bit longer, before he got up and pulled me with him.

'' So, what do you need?''

I had to come up with a plan fast. I had to be back at the Boarding School really soon. This evening was a game and it always took us hours to get all of us cheeleaders ready.

Okay, so what clothes did he have here I could use? I didn't think he had a sewing machine.

So only men clothes, or hold on.

'' Does your Mom have any clothes here?''

He chuckled lightly. A sound I loved hearing more than my favorite song.

'' Yes, but they won't fit you. She's a lot smaller and also a bit thicker.''

I nodded. So that wasn't an option. But I had an idea. It wasn't perfect, but it had to do it for now.

'' Okay, I need one of your button up's and some tights. Your Mom's will do it.''

He immediately left the room to get the tights and I opened his closet to look for the shirt.

When I looked into it I just had to smile. All the memories of our first meeting came back. If you'd tell me back then that this was just the beginning I would have said you were crazy, but now I couldn't wish for something better.

I was so lost in my memories, that I forgot about the shirt. I didn't even realize when Damon came back into the room.

Only when his hands encircled my hips and he kissed my neck I was brought back to the present.

'' I love that closet.''

I nodded and turned my hand around.

'' Me too.'' And then I stole a short kiss from his lips before turning back and taking the bottom up I wanted out of the closet.

I put on the tights and then the shirt as a dress, knotting the arms in front of my chest and making a bow with them.

I looked in the mirror when Damon came back from the bathroom.

'' You look beautiful.'' He hugged me from behind again and kissed my neck. '' But I would be happier if you would were a hoody over it. You can leave the zipper open, but it's just so cold outside.'' I looked outside and remembered how I cold it had been last night so I nodded.

He got the hoody and helped me put it on.

Then we went down and I got my purse. When we were standing at the door I pouted a bit.

'' What's in that beautiful head of yours?''

'' I just don't want to leave.'' His face froze and he looked sad.

'' I know. I don't want you to leave either, but you have to. But we'll see each other later. I promise to come by at your room, before I have to get ready for the game, okay?''

I nodded still not ready to leave.

So I put my arms around his neck and kissed him again, trying to keep him with me as long as possible, before I had to leave.

What do you think?
