Love Is Complicated (Damon Salvatore, The Vampire Diaries)

Chapter 1: Truth Is Told (Part 1)

I see light shining through the window in an at first unknown room. Then, I remember where I am. I'm in the Salvatore Boarding house, and I just spent the night in Damon Salvatore's room. I stretch out and hit something. I just curl up into it. I feel an arm tighten around my waist. This would be weird for anyone else, but for us it's not. We are those type of friends, friends with benefits. We haven't done anything to the extent of most friends with benefits. I look up and meet a pair of gorgeous, blue eyes. I move to my side of the bed and look at the ceiling. Then, Damon is hovering over me. I smirk at him and he whispers, "Good morning."

I reach for my head as it aches. Even though he whispered and I tried to sleep it off, hangovers still suck. He leans down towards me and I can tell that he's going in for a kiss, but I can't take all that right now. I have too much going on, because I need to get ready for school. I also would love to know what happened last night. I slide out from underneath him and scratch at my head, "Sorry, but I have to get back to Carol's."

I grab my purse and struggle, but finally get my keys out. I head down the long staircase and make it to the big door. Before I can open it, Damon appears between me and the door. Damn, vampire speed! He looks down at me with a curious expression before asking, "Why are you being like this?"

I meet his eyes and tell him, "I'm not in the mood for your games," and tap him on his chest.

Damon steps aside and opens the door, "It's a shame, because if I can remember correctly you used to love making the rules."

I pass by him and turn as I walk down to my car, "You never followed them." I stop before getting in my car and wave with a wink.

I get back to Carol's, and I as I go to what I have to get what I am getting used to as my room, she reprimands me. I plop down on the bed that Carol picked up and thought I would love. I mean it's okay, but a little too pink for me. I hear a knock at the door and I don't say anything. Tyler just allows himself in. "Ty, what do you want?"

He just ignores my question and sits next to me, "Where did you end up going last night?"
