His name is Damon.

Damon and his Super Hearing

I texted Elena the next morning to ask what she was doing. Turns out, she was at the Salvatore's. She told me I should come over, Stefan wouldn't care. But what about Damon, I had asked her. She encouraged his absence. Why not? I decided to head over to Stefan's.

Elena opened the door before I could even knock on it. It surprised me. "Hey!" she hugged me. "Come in!"

"Where's Stefan?" I asked, feeling a bit awkward since it was his house.

"Upstairs, taking a nap."

"Oh..." it sounded weird to me lol. We placed ourselves on the notorious red couch.

"So what's up?" she asked.

"Owen texted me last night."

"He did? What'd he say?"

I recapped the stupid conversation. She responded to it by saying, "Yeah, he shouldn't play with your heart like that."

"Funny you're saying that." Me and Elena spun our heads around. Damon was fixing himself a drink.

"I thought you weren't going to be here today?" Elena questioned him.

"Sorry I ruined your plans."

Elena looked exhausted from arguing with him, like they did it all the time or something. "Don't do this, okay?"

"You started it." He looked at me. "Don't listen to her," he warned, then adding in a whisper, "She's a hypocrite," and retreated from the room. Elena turned back around and sighed. "What was that about?" I asked. She whipped out her phone and started texting. I figured out what she was doing when she handed me her phone indicating to read what she had typed. I squinted my eyes at the text. 'Damon has a thing for me and he thinks I lead him on but that's just me being a caring person even if he is an ass, I care about him.' I handed back her phone and whispered really low, "Why did you type it out?" Whispering back, she answered, "He has really good hearing." If he has that good of hearing then he has super ears or something. Odd. And then jealousy hit. Damon had a thing for her?  I wanted him to have a thing for me. Just talk about your boyfriend Noelle, I thought. "So dad doesn't really dig the fact that me and Matt are alone."

"Why? You're nineteen and responsible right? Doesn't he trust you?"

"He should! I'm still a virgin! It was awkward."

"You're still a virgin?"

"Yeah."

"Whaat?! Virgin ears? Oh no! I apologize for my vulgar language." What the FUCK. Damon was walking back through the room and heard that?! I didn't even hear him coming! And he looked smug!

"It's not polite to listen in on other's conversations, brother." It was Stefan joining the session.

"Come back upstairs with me and we can fix that problem," Damon suggested, giving me this almost drunken smile and look. Oh, how bad I wanted to go with him! And he was offering! EEE!!!

"She has Matt for that," Elena informed.

"Wait-you're dating Matt?" Damon asked in disgust. "Well if that's the case, she'll stay a virgin forever."

Ok, that was rude. Elena piped, "Shut up, Damon."

"Why do you hate Matt so much?" I chimed in, tired of being quiet.

Damon shrugged. "I don't know. He just seems to...nice-guy for me."

"Because we all know you're big bad Damon," Stefan mocked.

"Ok, I'm out of here. Everyone's too literal." He rolled his eyes and walked out. He had this perfect walk. My goodness, he was nice to stare at.

"I apologize for my brother," Stefan expressed while taking a seat on the arm chair, one leg dangling off while he held a drink.

"It's fine," I allowed. "Ok well I better go. I got to pick some things up tonight for dinner, so I'll see you later." I stood up and stretched. Elena and Stefan walked me to the door. "Come back, Noelle. You're welcome anytime. Hopefully next time my brother won't be listening in," Stefan offered. Elena added in, "I'll text you later tonight to see how it went, ok? See you later."

Driving to the Mystic Falls Grocery, I got an overwhelming feeling of thankfulness. Everything was going so great here so far. Perfect, almost. Dad likes his new job, he gets paid more, we're starting fresh, nice house, cool town, three really amazing girls who treat me like they've known me my whole life, awesome boyfriend, attractive men everywhere, and a lot of nice people. So far I love my Mystic Falls life! Back to reality, I pulled into a parking spot and headed in to buy the things we needed which was basically everything lol.

Anna called me when I was leaving the store and we chatted until I got home. It was really nice to hear from her. I miss her, but, as much as I hate to say this and feel bad about saying it, Elena, Bonnie, and Caroline are much better friends. And that is pretty sad when I can tell that already not even being here that long, compared to being besties with Anna for 3 years and Bradley for 5. Oh well, I guess. Nothing I can do about it. I brought in the grocery bags and put the fish fillets in the fridge and put the rest of the ingredients on the counter. The house wasn't really messed up so I did what little things I could to fix it up a bit. Now, I am bored.
