Meredith's POV

I stood there shocked with my hand pressing against my neck where Ethan had sunk his creepy fangs. So, that's what if feels like being bitten by a vampire. It sucks! I groaned in pain as Alaric removed my hand to excess my wound.

"You'll be, okay." He said pressing a wash cloth on my wounds trying to get the blood off.

I winced. "That's easy for you to say. You weren't the one that was bitten."

"No, but I was the one that was knocked unconscious. That hurt."

We were silent for a couple of minutes as he patched me up. I felt him put a large bandage on.

"Done," he said putting stuff away.

I studied his movements and I knew he was pissed at me for what I did. "Alaric, I don't regret helping to get rid of one less evil creature in this world."

He slammed his fist on the bathroom counter hard making me jump in fear. I have never seen him like this before.

"Damn it, Meredith, I could have lost you!" He shouted in pain.

I moved off the counter and faced him. 'I'm fine. We're safe," I said gently stroking the side of his face.

"You are not fine. You got hurt."

"How about I will be fine then?" I said looking him in the eyes. "I don't want to fight. It's over. I just want to concentrate on us."

"Do you really mean that?"

"Of course I do."

I watched him pull something out of his coat pocket. "I was going to wait until after you had graduated, but after tonight it made me realize just how close I was to losing you."

He got down on one knee. Oh my-

"Meredith Sulez, will you marry me?" he asked opening the velvet box revealing the most gorgeous ring I have ever seen.

I'm such a girl. I started to cry. I didn't know Alaric cared about me this much to want to be spending the rest of his life with me.

"Yes, I'll marry you."

He smiled placing the ring on my finger. It was a perfect fit.

"How did you know my size?"

I grinned. "I have my ways."

Bonnie's POV

I stepped into my shower and turned the water on. I stood under the spray letting the hot water hit my back. It felt good and relaxing.

After we had defeated Ethan, I had caught a ride home with Meredith and Alaric. I haven't seen Damon since. I knew he was giving me space, letting me decided what I wanted. I know I should just give in and let my heart do what it wants.

The door to my shower opened scaring the crap out of me. Damon stood there otherwise bare.

"I thought I'd join you and I know you want it too because I can hear your heart beating fast."

Stupid vampire hearing! "Damon, I-"

He stepped in until my back was against the wall. "You are so beautiful.'

It was very difficult for me to keep my eyes on his face. He knew he had a killer body and loved flaunting it off every chance he got.

"Your not so bad looking your self."

His black hair was wet with drops of water hitting my shoulder.

"Just give in, Bon," his voice was husky.

"I'm afraid."

"I'll protect you. Always and forever."

I smiled knowing he was telling the truth. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad being Damon Salvatore's girlfriend….

THE END
