PART 16

Elena's P.O.V

  Damon's face inched closer to mine, and my heart felt like it was going to explode from all its intense beating. Our lips was centimeters apart, just a little bit more....just a little bit more.....

  All of a sudden, the ringtone of my cell went off. Startleed, I pulled back, and I hit my head on the hand of a waitress passing by. I muttered a sorry, my god she had a hard hand....

  I reached for my phone in my purse with one hand, while rubbing my head with the other. I could feel a bump already.

 "Hello?" I said into the phone.

 "Elena? Honey?" It was Jenna. "Ric and I are leaving for our honeymoon now, I was just wondering if you are coming home soon."

  "I'm at the Grill with..uh...Damon. I'll be leaving for home now." I remembered what Damon and I were doing before Jenna called, and that I admitted to myself that I loved him. I can't deny it any longer, but the truth came to me so suddenly it was like a slap across my face. When did I fall for him? When did I begin to want him, to need him so much?

  "Alright then. Be careful on your own! I'll see you soon!" With that, Jenna hung up and left me with  Damon staring at me intensely. I didn't know what to say, my throat felt dry despite all the alcohol I had tonight, and the dizziness in my head had disappeared. Was it because of the almost-kiss?

  "Um...I should probably get going...so uh..bye..." Mumbling in a low voice, I picked up m purse and got up to go. Just as I turned around from him, I felt his strong arms hugging me from behind. His touch  felt like fire burning through my veins, I swear my body temperature had gone up a few degrees in that split of a second when his arms surrounded me. I froze, fighting the urge to just turn around and kiss him.

  "I love you...." he whispered in my ears and removed his comforting arms around me. I felt like I was paralyzed with all the emotions I felt upon hearing those three words. I love you... I could hear just how much he meant it, and this crazy urge made me want to say it back to him. But I'm too confused right now to know what's the right thing to do. Instead, I walked away slowly, knowing that his dreamy blue eyes followed my every step.

  I realized I didn't have my car with me since Damon drove me here, but I didn't want to ask him for a ride. Things might get out of control between us, and I'm not sure if I'm ready for that. Well. I'm not really sure of anything right now. It wasn't too cold outside, and the Grill was fairly close to home, so I settled down for walking home. It'll help me sort out a few things.

  Apparently I couldn't sort out anything. By the time I got home. My mind was still a mess. The only thing I knew was that I really did love Damon. I realized that when I stared into his eyes today. It wasn't something I could deny, the feeling was just too strong. But what was I supposed to do now? Leave Stefan for him? I don't want to hurt Stefan. I can't. And plus everybody thinks of Stefan and I as the perfect couple, how could I make them understand why I fell in love with his "bad" brother?

  Slowly walking upstairs to my room, I felt like all the energy have been drained from my body. Both physically and emotionally. I threw myself onto my bed and decided that I was wasting brain cells thinking about something I couldn't figure out.
