The next morning, when Elena woke up, she looked over and noticed Damon was still sleeping in her bed, completely naked. Thankfully, the blanket covered him from the waist down, but she knew that he was naked underneath. Elena didn't really plan what happened between them last night; it just happened, and she wasn't sure how to feel about it or what to do. She wasn't even sure what this all meant for her and Damon or where they stood.

Climbing out of bed, Elena grabs her robe and slips it on. As she ties it around her waist, she walks out of her room. After checking on Bella, who is still sleeping, she heads downstairs to the kitchen and starts the coffee.

Few minutes later, Elena was sitting at the kitchen table with her cup of coffee. As Elena took a drink of her coffee and felt the warm liquid slide down her throat, she set her cup down. Elena sighed deeply as her mind drifted back to Damon, who was still sleeping in her bed upstairs.

Being with Damon last night did feel familiar, like time and space never came between them. It felt like they were still together. Elena will admit that last night was amazing, and of course Damon was great, but there's still that huge issue of why he really left.

"Mmmm, good morning." Damon said softly as he walked into the kitchen and over to Elena. He leaned down and kissed her cheek tenderly before walking towards the coffee pot and pouring himself a cup.

" Damon, I think we need to talk about last night." Elena said right away as she removed a few strands of hair behind her ear.

" Mmmm last night was fun, and I love the way you screamed out my name over and over again. I am looking forward to hearing it again." Damon said with a chuckle, with a cheeky grin on his face, before he took a sip of his coffee and joined Elena at the kitchen table.

Elena sighed exasperatedly as she rolled her eyes. "Damon, I am being serious here. I don't think what happened last night should happen again."

"I thought this is what you wanted. For us to be together again." Damon said in confusion as he wasn't sure what was happening right now. Being with Elena last night was amazing and everything he wanted. Feeling that connection with her felt amazing and it's something he doesn't want to lose again.

" Of course that's what I want, Damon. I want it more than anything."

" But?"

" But I can't pretend that you didn't walk away from me six years ago without a real explanation. All I got from you was a note telling me that you were leaving and you couldn't do this anymore." Elena said as she got up from the table and walked over to the sink to rinse her cup.

"Do you really want to talk about this?"

Elena sighs deeply as she turns around and leans against the sink. "I just need to know why you left. I mean, I think I deserve to know."

Getting up from the chair he was sitting in, Damon walked closer to her. "You're right, you do deserve to know why I left. I was so focused on opening my bar in New Orleans that I really didn't care what everyone else had to say. I told you that I couldn't do this anymore because at the time, I thought it was best to end the relationship and let you go."

" But in a letter? You could have at least told me in person." Elena said, crossing her arms over her chest.

"I was a dick back then. But it doesn't change the fact that I'm here now and I'm not going anywhere." Damon said softly as he placed both hands against her face and rested his forehead against hers. "I love you, Elena, and I will do anything to prove it to you."

" How exactly are you going to do that?"

" Easy, by taking you out for dinner tonight." Damon answered with a smile as he stepped away from her. He picked up his cup of coffee, finished it, and set it back down on the table.

" Tonight? You actually want to take me out to dinner? As a date?" Elena asked, making sure she heard him right. Having sex with Damon last night was one thing, but going on a date with him was something she wasn't really expecting.

Damon nodded his head as he stepped closer, placing his index finger under her chin and gently lifting her face up to look deeply into her eyes. "Yes, tonight. I'm taking you out to dinner, for our first date," he answered softly, leaning down and kissing her deeply and passionately before pulling away. "I will pick you up at seven tonight," he said once more before letting her chin go and walking out of her kitchen and out her front door.

The moment Elena heard her front door close as Damon was leaving, she finally let go of the breath she was holding. As she closed her eyes for a moment, Damon actually wanted to take her out on a date, a real date tonight. Taking a deep breath, Elena pulled out her cell and called her babysitter to watch Bella for a few hours. Elena needed to talk to her friends and, of course, get their advice.

Walking through the Grill, Elena looked around and found her friends sitting at their usual table. She took a deep breath as she walked towards them. "Hey, guys, thanks for meeting me here," she said as she sat across from Caroline and next to Bonnie, setting her purse down and removing her jacket.

"What's going on? Why did you want us to meet here?" Caroline asked, raising her brow for a moment.

Elena shrugged her shoulders slightly as she wasn't ready to tell them just yet. "No reason really. I just haven't seen you guys because I have been so busy with work and taking care of Bella. I just thought that we could meet up for lunch and catch up." She said when one of the waitresses walked towards their table.

While Elena, Bonnie, and Caroline ate their lunch and started to catch up with each other's daily lives and families, Bonnie decided to speak up. "Okay, are you going to tell us what's going on with you? Or do we have to drag it out of you?"

Elena knew that she wasn't able to avoid it forever and this is why she wanted to meet up with them so she could talk to them about it. She exhales deeply and blurts out, "I slept with Damon."

What!?" Both Caroline and Bonnie asked at the same time, with shock expressions on their faces.

" When did this happen?" Caroline asked as she was still trying to wrap her mind around the fact that Elena actually slept with Damon. Caroline already knew that Elena was already having feelings for Damon again but she never really thought that Elena would actually sleep with him again.

Elena sighs softly as she ran her fingers through her hair. "Last night... a few hours after Matt and his parents left my house." She said softly.

Later that night, Elena was up in her room getting ready for her date with Damon. As she was finishing up getting ready, Elena started to think about her conversation with Bonnie and Caroline and what they told her when she told them that Damon wanted to take her out to dinner with him tonight. They both encouraged her to go on the date with him, but still be careful as they still weren't too sure if he actually changed or not.

As Elena was putting on the finishing touch of her makeup and smoothing down her hair that was in curls and down her shoulders, she smooth down her dress. She heard knocking coming from downstairs, which meant Damon was already here. She took a deep breath as she slipped on her high heels and headed downstairs.

Stepping off the last step, Elena noticed April, her babysitter, about to answer the door. "It's okay, April. I got it," Elena said with a small smile as she walked towards the door and opened it. The moment she opened the door, Elena let out a small gasp as she noticed Damon standing in front of her. Tonight, Damon is wearing a button-down black shirt and slacks with his black leather jacket. The more she kept staring, the more her mind kept going back to last night.

Elena quickly pushed the thoughts out of her head as she swallowed the lump down her throat, took another deep breath, and started to speak. "Hi Damon." She said with a smile.

"Wow... Elena. You look absolutely beautiful tonight." Damon said in one breath as he started to look her up and down, checking her out. He slowly licked his bottom lip as his eyes slowly traveled up her long beautiful legs that he couldn't wait to have wrapped around his waist again. His eyes traveled further up as he couldn't stop looking at her dress. It looked amazing on her and it was fitting her body and curves perfectly. Then when he looked at her beautiful and gorgeous hair in curls, his fingers started to itch to run through it. Elena looked gorgeous, and Damon desperately wanted to take her back upstairs.

" Mommy, you look pretty." Bella commented, which brought Damon out of his trance. "Daddy, does mommy look pretty?" Bella asked as she looked up at Damon with a toothy smile.

Damon nodded his head as he looked down at his daughter. "She looks very pretty," Damon answered with a grin as he looked at Elena and chuckled softly as he noticed her blushing.

" Thank you two." Elena said as she then got down on her knees and pulled Bella into a hug. "You be a good girl for April tonight, and Mommy will be home later tonight." She said as she kissed her cheek before she stood back up.

" Would you bring me back a dessert?" Bella asked with a huge grin.

Elena nods her head. "I don't know, but I will try though. Okay?"

" Have fun, you two." April said as she placed both hands on Bella's shoulders. Bella and she watched Damon and Elena walking towards Damon's car before shutting the door behind them.
