DELENA POST-5X22: IT'S REAL

Chapter 4: Are You Guys Coming?

"Damon, phone," Elena said, half-asleep, from the bed. Her head was resting on Damon's chest, their bodies completely intertwined.

Damon grumbled, "Can't a guy get a few hours of peace with his beautiful girlfriend after coming back from the dead?"

Elena chuckled, her face buried in Damon's chest, "Not in Mystic Falls you can't."

Damon sighed, looking at the caller display on his cell, "It's Caroline..." He put the phone on speaker, "To what do we owe the pleasure, Blondie?"

Elena smiled at Damon's nickname for Caroline. Whether or not he admitted it, he had a soft spot for her, for all of her friends actually.

"We're waiting for you guys! Are you guys coming?" Caroline asked, sounding a bit annoyed - probably because she knew they would have stayed in bed all day if she hadn't called.

"Oh we have...multiple times actually," Damon lowered his voice, smirking.

"Damon!" Elena smacked his chest and glared at him.

"Eww! I did not need that image in my mind, Damon!" Caroline shrieked, "Ugh, okay you guys hurry up please!"

"Will do," Damon hung up, a smug look on his face.

Elena shook her head at Damon's antics as she got up and put her black wrap around her body.

"Mmm, and where do you think you're going, Miss Gilbert?" Damon sped out of bed and stood in front of Elena with absolutely nothing on.

Elena rolled her eyes, "To shower, Damon. You heard Caroline; they're all waiting for us."

Damon pulled Elena against his chest swiftly, causing her wrap to fly open, "That's more like it," Damon said as he kissed her neck.

"No, no, no, Damon..." Elena reluctantly pulled away, giving Damon a quick kiss on the lips, feeling bad when Damon pouted, "We can finish this up in the shower...that way we won't be wasting any more time." Elena winked at her boyfriend, who scooped her up in his arms and rushed into the bathroom.

"You learn fast, 'Lena," he smirked, turning the shower on and following her inside.

The warm water felt so good on Elena's skin that she couldn't help but moan before Damon even touched her. She smiled seductively at Damon who was watching her intently, and with a come-hither stare, she said the words, "Come here, Salvatore."

Damon and Elena got ready quickly for fear of Caroline showing up at the Salvatore boarding house doorstep. They finally arrived at her place where everyone was busy eating, chatting and whatnot.

"The guests of honour have arrived!" Damon announced, eliciting laughter from Elena, Stefan, and Lucy.

"Took you guys long enough!" Caroline joked, "Elena! I need your advice about something." She grabbed Elena's arm, pulling her away from Damon.

"I'll be right there, Care," Elena smiled, turning to Damon.

Caroline sighed, glancing between Elena and Damon, "Alright, I'm in the kitchen with Bonnie and Jeremy."

Elena locked her arms around Damon's neck as Caroline flitted away. Damon smiled at Elena, pulling her closer by wrapping his arms around her waist.
