Damon (Present)
The first thing I notice when I come around is a warm presence tangled around me. I smell the fruity aroma and the cinnamon of her shampoo. The problem is I don't know who she is. I still haven't opened my eyes yet and I don't want to. I try to lay still and remember what I did last night and with whom. It was bonfire night. I remember getting there with Katherine, someone handing me a red solo cup and then blank. Oh god, what did I do?
I'm still in last night's clothes so I didn't do that but am I even home? Okay, I'm going to open my eyes. 1…2…3. I slowly open my eyes. The sunlight hits my eyes and I wince. Jesus, my head is throbbing. I sneak a peek at the beautiful brown hair In front of me. Of course I know whose hair it belongs to but I'm too busy trying to figure out how the hell I got Elena freaking Gilbert in my bed. Her voice surprises me.
"How long have you been awake?" she says in her raspy morning voice. I try to think how she could have known I was awake. Was she awake the whole time?
"Not long." I say lowly, trying to think of what to say. "Umm…Did we…?"
"No, we didn't. You were very drunk." She said with a little smile
It's not that I didn't want to…do anything with Elena. I would just rather be sober when or if it happens. If she's here, that means I didn't totally mess everything up with her last night.
"I'm glad that we didn't" I said to her but soon regretted it from the look on her face. "No, Elena not like that…I just wouldn't want to do something and not remember because you're special to me and I want to remember everything and make it special and…" I stopped myself from going any further with my babbling when I saw her smile, that beautiful smile of hers.
"Okay." I said getting up and taking her hand, "For taking care of me last night, I am going to make you a gourmet breakfast Salvatore-Style." I felt her pull back slightly on my hand and I turned around to look at her.
"Isn't your family going to think I'm trashy…you know for sleeping here?" She said uncertainly
"No, Never and don't ever call yourself that. Stefan and My uncle Zach aren't even home." I said to her.
Before we went downstairs I went to the medicine cabinet in the bathroom and took out two pills for my pounding headache. Jeez, I don't think I ever want to drink again but I know that is highly unlikely.
"Did you call your Aunt Jenna to tell her that you're here?" I asked Elena when I went to the refrigerator to get the things I need. I went to a cabinet to get a pan out and looked back at Elena since she didn't answer.
"Umm, I may have told her that I was sleeping at Caroline's house." She said looking down at the granite counter avoiding my eyes.
"Elena! You lied to Jenna? What is she going to think of me?" My thoughts went everywhere. What if she finds out and doesn't trust me after? What if she doesn't let me see Elena?
"Damon, calm down! I've done way worse than this; Jenna isn't gonna care and she's totally cool anyways." She said nonchalantly.
"What do you mean, 'I've done way worse than this'" I said curiously, the previous conversation long forgotten.
"Well, let's just say my parent's death gave me that push into my rebellious teen years." She said shrugging her shoulders.
I really wanted to leave it at that. The last thing I want to do is force Elena to recall everything she did the summer of her parent's death. I don't know who it would hurt more me or her. So I didn't push the subject and finished making our breakfast. We sat in comfortable silence until a thought popped into my head.
"Elena, how did she do on the history test?" I said referring to the test we studied for last week. "Did you get a good grade?"
"Um, I got a B+. I was planning on asking you if we can have a tutoring session again. I think I can get a better grade next quiz if I try harder." She said with a determined look on her face.
We really didn't get to study much for this test but I'm sure she can do better if we can try. I would do anything if it meant helping Elena.
"Yeah, of course we can! I'm still your tutor after all." I said
"Does that mean that our relationship has to remain professional?" She said with a flirty smirk as she shuffled closer to me.
"Ohh y-yeah, it's kind of like a teacher student relationship if you think about it."I said enjoying our little banter.
"So that means I can't do this." She leans in and I close my eyes but the warm feeling never comes. I open my eyes and see Elena's amused expression.
"What happened to professional?" She said and moved back to her place.
Oh really Elena? That's how it's gonna be? I am so gonna get her back for that I thought to myself as I finished my breakfast.
"So do you remember anything from last night?" Elena asks me snapping me out of my thoughts.
"I remember getting there with…getting there and that's pretty much it." I said trying to cut out the part about arriving there with Katherine but didn't go so well.
Elena gives me a strange look "Okay…I know you went with Katherine. You don't have to hide it, it wasn't a secret." She said
"Oh, I just thought-"I started
"Its fine Damon, you didn't do anything bad last night. I didn't even see you with Katherine except for when you came. You're actually way more fun when you're drunk!" Elena said jokingly again giving me a wink.
That makes me think back to last night. Did I make a pass at Elena? Knowing me, I probably did. We finish breakfast and I go change my clothes from last night so that I can drive Elena to her house. We planned to go see a movie so she has to go shower and change.
I'm wearing blue jeans that hang loose from my hips with my brown boots. I am also wearing a grey sweater with a white shirt underneath. I didn't want to look to snobbish because we're only seeing a movie but I still dress to impress and I'm going to a movie with the only person I want to impress.
I grab my keys and open the passenger side door for Elena. She looks at me knowingly "What a gentlemen." She says jokingly
We get to Elena's house and I turn the engine off. We walk to the front door and I grab Elena's wrist. I spin her around to face me and plant a kiss on her perfect lips. I feel her inhale at the surprise but she soon reciprocates and grabs my sweater to deepen the kiss.
We part, "What was that for?" she says breathily still effected from our kiss.
I give her a smirk just like she did previously and say "Payback for earlier today." And walk inside her house.
A/N: Hehe Hey guys! I'm back! I had a snow day so I had no school and decided to finish this chapter that I started way long ago. This chapter is long overdue and I am truly sorry for that. I hope you guys can forgive me as I try and finish this fic with chapters that aren't 6 months apart.
