Damon P.O. V.

Ever since Stefan told me that he is coming with Caroline for thanksgiving celebrations I was about to go crazy because all I can think that what will happen when Elena meet Stefan Salvatore my brother.

I am not ready for my truth to come out. At least not like this.

I need more time with Elena, build our relation strong enough that when I finally tell her truth, hopefully she will love me too much that she have to forgive me and won't leave me or anything like that.

I know this was so wrong but now I am too deep to risk our relationship. I won't loose her that's the only think I know for sure.

So that's why today I called all of my friends at my mansion, so I can tell them truth and hopefully they can help me to get out of this mess without losing Elena or her love for me.

Alaric, Rose, Elijah, Klaus, Kol and Bree were all sitting in my living room and I was looking at them while searching my voice to speak.

Kol '' will you at least offer us drinks before we hear what ever is bugging you.''

I rolled my eyes and look at Bree who went to get drinks for all of us. Once all of us has our drinks, I try to speak again.

Damon '' I gather you all here today because.''

I stopped and looked at Bree who gave me encouraging nod.

Damon '' well I have been seeing someone for past two months.''

Every one except Bree were stunned by this news, after all I was the only one in our group who never dated in my life.

Alaric '' I knew it! Was she is the source of your new inspiration and personality make over? ''

I smiled at him but hear Rose scoff.

Rose '' please, Damon Salvatore don't do relationship otherwise why would he refurnished your old apartment with cheap furniture, I can bet anything he made it as his pleasure spot like his own version of play boy mansion.''

Kol eyes grow wide and then he looked at me with betrayal.

Kol '' and you didn't even invite me and here I thought we were friends.''

Bree throw cushion at him before taking his glass away from him.

Bree'' you have one sick mind and Rose he is really telling you guys truth about dating. Elena is the sweetest girl I ever met in my life.''

And as I thought at mention of Elena name Kol face changes a little.

Kol '' Elena, Elena I think I heard that name before?''

He was scratching his head in confusion.

Klaus '' Kol we don't know any Elena.''

Elijah '' at least not in our circle. Rose?''

Rose '' I don't know any Elena either so she must be some foreigner client am I right Rick.''

But Rick shakes his head.

Alaric '' no, we don't have any woman clients in past Five months. Damon who is she and at which party or event you have met her?''

Klaus '' is she that girl you shack up with in Spain Six months ago.''

My friends were figuring out but had it all wrong.

Damon '' no, you guys don't know her because she is a student who came from small town. She doesn't run in our circle.''

They were shocked and confused but then a look of realization pass over Kol.

Kol '' wait a minute. The girl who kicked my nuts two months ago. Her name was also Elena. Remember guys?''

He was looking at his brothers and after few seconds later they nodded their head.

Elijah '' Elena, the manager said her name is Elena Gilbert.''

Klaus '' the same girl who kick you and scream she never go with rich guy like you.''

Kol face change in sneer as he laugh at this.

Kol '' apparently Ms Gilbert has likes for richest guys. I mean this is why she is now dating the Great Damon Salvatore.''

I felt anger at his words.

Damon '' take it back Kol, Elena is not some gold digger.''

Klaus looks at me with sympathy.

Klaus '' come on Damon , who are you kidding, she is with Damon Salvatore because of his money, I mean with our track record, what kind of self respected girl will date with guys like us if not for our money.''

I felt shame, guilt and rage built inside me because they have no idea what they are talking about.

I looked at everyone and Bree look upset while Klaus , Alaric and Rose were giving me sympathy looks.

Kol was still in denial but Elijah was looking at me curiously as if he solved the puzzle.

Elijah '' Damon you said you had met her two months ago but we were there and she was fired and had left before us. So where did you meet her?''

I was out of words. Among my friends Elijah was man of few words but he also had great observations skills then all of us.

Damon '' umm, after we left I was driving back here when I saw her sitting all alone and upset at this small cafe. So I went inside and since cafe was full I asked to share her table and we talked and we went together in taxi.''

But he cut me off with surprise look.

Elijah '' taxi, but you had your car, then why did you take taxi.''

I got paled and Bree look helplessly at me while rest of them looked confused and suspicious.

Alaric '' Damon! Please tell me what name you had given to this poor girl.''

As usual Rick and Elijah were first to figure this out.

I look down at my feet as I finally confess to my friends.

Damon '' Damon Jackson. She knows I work at D.S.S as D.J. we started dating few days after we met and few days later we confess our love for each other and at Halloween I asked her to move in with me and she said yes and now we are living together.''

They were looking at me as if I was using some other language.

Alaric '' are you out of your freaking mind? Its one thing using that name for full fill what ever mad , strange desires you have to be common man but this is immoral Damon, you are betraying that girl.''

I was still avoiding eye contact with anyone as I said.

Damon '' I love her Rick, I love her so much.''

Rose '' than why lie to her?''

I was unable to form any words.

Klaus '' at least tell us you had told her truth about you now?''

It was Bree who tell them.

Bree'' he didn't told her truth yet and before you all start judging him, please look at him and tell me is this is the same Damon you guys knew two months ago.''

They all look at me silently.

Kol '' no wonder I am getting more girls in last two months then before.''

I smiled lightly and he smile back. Kol was never the one to hold grudges.

Rose '' well that explains that simple apartment. I think its good change for you Damon.''

She smiled at me and I know she is on mine side.

Klaus '' I don't agree with your method but even I can't deny that if I was in your situation I would have done same thing. We are human after all.''

He lift his drink at my direction before he finished it in one gulp.

I was now waiting for Elijah and Rick verdict.

Damon '' look I admit that what I did was wrong on so many level.''

I take a deep breath before I continued.

Damon '' but Elena she is no one like I ever met. Before her I was just existing a meaningless life but now I live a lifetime with each second I am with her. She is all good and hope in my life and I can't loose her because I am Damon Salvatore.''

Rick was rubbing his face but Elijah looked straight in my eyes.

Elijah '' it's good for you Damon. I am really happy for you that you finally find your reason for life, your love, your passion but please explain me is it fair to lie the love of your life for your own happiness?''

I was speechless to say anything his words felt like thousands of needles .

Damon '' I don't, I can't explain. It's just I start telling a lie and it bring her close to me so I keep lying and now she is happy and in love with me and that's the only truth that matters to me.''

Alaric '' but what about her. She is living a lie for past two months and from the look of it, who knows how long she will stay in this lie because I know you Damon and you will never tell her the truth.''

Rose '' how can you say that. Okay I agree that this situation is mess up but Damon will tell her truth. Right Damon? ''

All eyes looked at me questionly.

Damon '' I will tell her when I am ready and secure enough that she won't left me but until then.''

I couldn't continue but they understand.

Elijah '' she have to live your lie?''

I didn't said anything.

Klaus '' Damon, why are you doing this?''

Damon '' because I love her and can't imagine my life without her. She is my home guys. Not this lavish mansion but any where she is with me becomes my home and that only Damon Jackson can have. Damon Salvatore on other hand can't even think to buy that home even if he gave all of his power, all of his wealth. Sometimes I even forget about Damon Salvatore. I am Elena's Damon and just that all I want now to be only hers and to make her only mine.''

Everyone was quite after that. Lost in their own thoughts.

Kol '' look guys, I know I am not smartest and most heard member of this group but Damon is our friend and our friend needs us right now. So can we settle this like mature people.''

A smile crack through our faces when Kol talks about being mature.

Bree '' its great idea. How about you see it for yourself. You can see their love from your own eyes and then you can make your decisions.''

Alaric '' how? ''

Klaus '' how about you bring Elena to Bree's bar tonight and we will see it for our selves.''

Kol '' umm, excuse me but what if she recognized three of us ? I won't get kick in my nuts again.''

I rolled my eyes at him.

Rose '' don't you worry about it I will dress up all of us so she won't recognize us If she ever saw us again.''

Everyone looked at her wearily but Elijah get up with serious and determine face.

Elijah '' fine Damon if you prove your love tonight then you will have my word that we will help you with no questions asked but if you fail then you will tell her tonight or else we will tell her everything tomorrow.''

With that he left without another word and I know one thing if Elijah gave his word he always keep its honour.
