As soon as I arrived at my place, I was constantly interrupted by the door bell. In the matter of 20 minutes, my whole apartment was filled with people. Hair stylists, make-up artists... And some people that delivered my outfit for tonight.
At first the situation was so overwhelming that I completely forgot to even look at the dress I was going to wear. That was until Caroline reminded me that i was yet to see what was hidden in the black garment bag.
'Come on Elena! Aren't you even curious to see that dress?' Caroline asked.
'The dress! I completely forgot!' I replied while heading towards the bag that has been resting on my bed. I slowly un-zipped the bag. Inside was a beautiful red gown. It must've cost a fortune, it was Donna Karan! That is one of my favourite designers.
'It's beautiful..' Caroline expressed. Our little moment only lasted a short while as I was soon pulled over to get my hair and make-up done.
I was smoothing over my dress when Caroline walked in, holding a silver box.
'Here. These will look great with the dress.' She said as she pulled out gold earings with little ruby crystals. I quickly put them on and made my way towards the mirror. I was shocked by what I saw. I actually looked beautiful, the dress looked perfect on me. I smoothed my hands across the dress once again, while making my way towards the door.
'Have fun, and make sure to tell me how it went!' Caroline said as I made my way out.
'I sure will!' I replied and walked towards the limo where Damon was standing.
'Good evening Mr Salvatore.' I said. His mouth fell slightly open when he saw me but he quickly recovere.
'Elena, you look stunning!' He smiled
'Thank You, you don't look bad yourself.' He really didn't. He was wearing a black tux and his hair was all over the place like always. And those ocean blue eyes.. Ok, I need to stop before I start drooling.
'Well, lets get going.' He held the door open for me like a real gentleman.
The ride there was very entertaining. I never really had the chance to have a proper conversation with Damon. He was a lot more, down-to-earth than I imagined.
'Just to warn you, we have to walk down the red carpet. All you need to do is smile, I will take care of the questions. They will probably assume we are a couple but I will take care of that.' Now I was getting panicked.
'I shouldn't have came! They will make up stupid rumors about you now!' I replied.
'Don't worry, they know I am with Katherine.' Why did I agree to this..
'Okay lets go!' As soon as the door opened, we were met with loads of flashing lights. We quickly made our way to the building, thanks to the bodyguards, who helped us through the paparazzi. We stopped for some photos, it was a lot more fun than i expected. After sticking some poses we made our way to our seats.
The fashion show went by as a blurr. I couldn't really concentrate when I was sitting next to the hottest man on earth and the whole room was filled with celebrities! After the show came the after party. That was when all the action started.
'Elena, this is Robert Pattinson.' Damon was just introducing me to my favourite actor ever, when we were rudely interrupted by a tall brunette.
'Damon! I haven't seen you for ages!' She purred, I instantly disliked her. She seemed like another one of those Katherine-like celebrities.
'Isobel..' And it seemed like even Mr Salvatore wasn't one of her fans.
'Who is she?' She asked, giving me a dirty look. I just wanted to punch that woman in her powdered little nose.
'Elena Gilbert. Nice to meet you' I replied in a cold voice.
'Well Damon, I guess you run out of other dates. She isn't exactly your type.' My blood boiled. This is exactly why I didn't want to come here with HIM.
'Isobel! Have you got any manners, or has that stupid reality show really brain-washed you?' Damon replied angrily.
'Excuse me..' I quickly walked away in the direction of the toilets. After I cooled down and returned to the party, Damon was no where in sight. So I made my way towards the bar instead 'A Tequila, please'
'Make that two' A warm voice said. I turned to face the man and was met by a pair of forest green eyes.
'Stefan, what are you doing here?' I was very suprised by his presence.
'Oh, you know. Fashion show after parties are my favourite.' He laughed gently.
'Well, I'm glad you are here. It is nice to have someone to talk to.' We continued to have a great conversation, that man really knew how to make me laugh. And then one Tequila shot turned into 2 and then into 4. I was still able to think clearly but Stefan. Probably not, because the next thing he did was leaned in towards me a quietly whispered into my ear.
'You look beautiful tonight. I am sooo jealous of my brother right now.' His voice sounded so mesmerizing. However, I quickly remembered why I am here.
'Stefan, this is not right. You are drunk..' I tried to push his hands, which were now making their way up my leg, off. However, his grip just tightened. I was starting to panick, my heart sped up. I couldn't cause a massive scene in front of everyone. I tried to push him off me once again but he just continued.
'Elena, I know you want to..' His sentance was interrupted by a strangers fist colliding with Stefan's jaw. That stranger turned out to be my boss.
'Are you ok?' He asked worried
'Uhhh... Yeah...I'm fine' I was so shocked. Stefan seemed a lot more sensible than that. He was still recovering from that punch.
'Come on, lets get you home.' So we made our way back to the limo. ' I am so sorry about my brother. He wasn't himself, it was all the alcohol...'
'It's fiine Damon, really.' I replied.
'I guess I know why he acted like that, you do look amzing tonight.' He gave me a crooked smile, while my cheeks were warming up.
'Thank you.' We were just outside my apartment when Damon leant in and kissed my cheek.
'Thank you for coming with me tonight. I will see you on Monday, have a good weekend.' He said gently.
'You too.' My skin was still tingling from where his lips connected with my skin.
Such a shame he was my boss...
A/N - Im so sorry for the long wait! The story is finally getting somwhere with Elena and Damon! What do you think about Stefan's actions? I am still waiting for some suggestions on what I should name Alaric's and Jenna's baby girl!
