26. Nights Of Disaster

"Let me just change my clothes." I said as I left her room.

"Okay. Me too. I'll meet you downstairs. " I started walking to my room. I opened the door and turned on the lights. It was all the same. Untouched. I walked to my closet a pulled out a gold shiny short skirt and a backless black top. I went into my jewelery box and pulled out a big gold necklace with a white stone in the middle and a few gold thin bracelets to go with it. I applied some make up, nothing too much, some mascara and eyeliner and glittery lip gloss. I put on black bumps and I was ready for the party. I grabbed my little black hand-purse and put my drivers license, my phone and my lip gloss inside. My hair was down. I looked myself in the full length mirror and thought to myself that coming home was the best for me right now and that I needed to get away from the Mikaelson family for a little while. I got out of my room and headed downstairs. Elena was still getting ready and Damon was in our living room very concentrated on the TV drinking a glass of bourbon.

"How do I look? " I asked doing a little princess spin in front of him. Damon continued eyes glued to the TV. " Hello? Anyone inside that dusty little mind? " I screamed and then he looked at me startled.

"What the hell...?" His chin dropped and he just stared... At me? No, no way... I turned around and saw Elena looking gorgeous. She was wearing a short black dress with a little silver jacket and black pumps all combined with a light make up.

"You look amazing." I told her and she walked our way.

"You girls are going out?" Damon asked still petrified with Elena's look. I'm just gonna pretend that he didn't ignore me later, I don't wanna get mad.

"Yes we are. It's girls night." I told him grabbing Elena's arm and heading towards the door. Before we could move Damon was in front of us. Arms crossed in front of his chest.

"I can go with you. Protection above all." Elena let out a little giggle.

"You wish." Elena said pushing him away, opening a way to get away from the house.

"Only girls."

"Who's gonna stop me from going after you?" He asked as we walk towards the car. We laughed before we drove off and left Damon at the door looking completely lost.

The music was pounding in my hears. Something electronic that all the night clubs have. Elena was in the dance floor dancing at the sound. I was sitting by the bar with a Tequila in my hand.

"No dancing tonight?" I looked at my side and saw Damon with a big smirk on his face.

"Not feeling it." I screamed so Damon could hear me through the loud music. He turns around to look at Elena that is completely withdrawn to the music and dancing like it was her last day on earth. Probably because she has drank to much.

"Why not? Your sister's having fun."

"I want to drink." I gestured for the bartender to give me another tequila. I'm already feeling kind of touched. Let's see how many more can I take...

"She's so pretty." Damon says loud enough for me to hear. I smile as I take a big sip from my drink. Damon turns around and compels the bartender for give us the tequila bottle so we can keep drinking.

"She is completely in love with you." I told him as I poured more drink into my glass. Damon looked at me.

"She loves Stefan. It will always be Stefan."

"She loves you... She just refuses herself to accept that because of the awful things you've done. She needs you more than she lets on."

"You think so?"

"I'm sure Damon. Just give it time."

After a few more drinks and some emotional chats I was completely drunk. And truth be told so was Damon. With the talk I completely lost Elena. She was nowhere to be seen.

"I think I probably must go home." I got off the stool tripping in my own feet. Damon quickly got a hand on me.

"You're too drunk to go home alone."

"I can walk on my own." I shook Damon off of me and started walking towards the club door.

"Look the boarding house is much near than your house. You can stay there for the night." I gave a step forward but failed miserably and I lost my equilibrium and fell to the floor. "Okay, you can't walk alone." Damon bent down and grabbed me off the floor. He carried me bridal style till the boarding house.

After a few minutes of walking Damon put me down so he could open the door. We walked in and he grabbed me by my waist so I wouldn't lose my equilibrium again. He lead me to the living room.

"Can I bring you a glass of water?" I shook my head no. I don't need Damon to bring me stuff. I'm just fine. I'm a grown up woman... I don't need a babysitter. The idea of Damon babysitting me came to my head which made me laugh. "Why are you laughing?" Damon laughed which made me laugh even harder. And there we were, both laughing our lungs out. Damon looked really cute laughing. His blue eyes were shining with joy. I don't think I've ever seen his eyes shining like this. It is truly incredible. We stopped laughing and stared at each other's eyes. Damon came closer. "Who knew your smile was so beautiful?"

"Who knew your eyes were so pretty?" Damon came even closer and placed his hands each side of my face. Oh. My. God. He's going to do it!!! He leaned in and his lips touched mine softly.
