His name is Damon.

Concert on the Green

At home I didn't retake a shower, I just re-deodorized. I decided to put on my red skinny jeans, my black Chucks of course, and a flowy shirt with a bedazzled skull. I sprayed some perfume and headed towards the Grill.

Not to sound braggy, but I think Matt did a double take most definitely. "Hey!" I greeted them very happily and grabbed a chair beside Elena. We had a decent sized group with us. On the left side of me, at the end of the rectangle table was Jeremy. Beside him were Matt, Caroline, Bonnie, Tyler at the other end, and Stefan beside Elena. I ordered a Dr. Pepper and began to look at the menu with the rest of them. I decided on a chicken sandwich and cheese fries. After I told the waitress, I handed her my menu. I caught Matt looking at me longingly. Or at least I think so. I smiled at him. It was a bit awkward. My mind was mostly kept off Damon but when every time I did think about him I got a nervous/excited jolt. It made me happy. Then I would think of Owen, and my other friends, and I'd feel good about myself, like somehow I was making them jealous. But boy, I was having fun. This is the life. These guys are awesome friends.

We all paid our bills, left tips, and headed out the door. Matt smiled at me. "You look good," he complimented.

I blushed a bit and told him thanks. The night air felt really good. It wasn't hot, it was a light warm with a nice cool breeze. We were walking to the concert since it was only like two blocks from the Grill. As we approached I could see the crowd and the stage and hear the sound check.

I was standing near the back of our group next to Care and Bonnie. Matt was ahead of them and he would look back and laugh. Stefan and Elena were right in front of me. We were pretty close to the stage. It was several minutes after starting time and we were all waiting. Then there they came and everyone cheered. Baby Bee swept out on stage and greeted everyone, introducing themselves. Then they started to play a song and we all danced in our spots. The whole crowd was getting into it. It was really fun.

Right near the end of their first song, I felt a tap on my shoulder and twisted my head around to see Damon smirking so sexily at me. My face did a surprised happy look and I grabbed his arm, pulling him up by me. "Ah! You made it!" I yelled by his ear. He oddly looked like I had busted out his eardrum. He slyly shrugged.

Baby Bee tore into their popular hit "High Heeled Leather Boots". It was very catchy! We all started dancing again, in an even better vibe this time, and I was so happy to see Damon dancing having fun and being soooo delicious looking in his signature black leather jacket, white t-shirt, and black jeans with black boots. We all had our arms above our heads, dancing around, being cute with each other. Me and Damon were in tune with each other and only danced with each other and watched each other. We both were laughing, smiling, and pursing our lips as we pulled out some moves. "Leather Boots" ended and another song took its place. We didn't dance as sexy this time, mostly just nodded our heads and bent our knees.

Halfway through I yelled at Damon and told him I was going to get something to drink. He nodded and I walked off to the refreshment table I noticed as we walked up. They had some baby bottles of water and soda, and they had pink punch which I decided to try. I dipped myself a small cup and sipped it. Whoo! It was a tad sour. I heard the song ending and the lead singer announce into the mic that they were taking it slow and the music started lulling down. Oh crap. This was a slow song. I saw people on the outskirts of the crowd start to couple up and I decided I would hang back for this one. I didn't want to make a fool out of myself and be alone. I got a jealous ting just thinking about Damon dancing with someone else. But to my utter surprise, I noticed someone slowly walking out of the crowd towards me. It was Damon and he was smiling very gently. He reached me and offered his hand. "Would you like to dance?"

About choking on the punch, I hurriedly agreed. I figured we would walk back to the group but Damon lead me only several steps ahead before he stopped on the outskirts and put one hand on my waist while holding my other hand. Oh gosh I was nervous. I started feeling myself sweat and blush really hard. I felt like I was already tripping over my feet, his feet, the ground, anything and everything. I just felt so clutzy. I stole a glance at Damon as his eyes lingered away on the crowd and band. Wow. How the HELL does little old me get a guy like HIM? Wait. Stop it. He's not yours, sheesh. But it seems like he is. I mean still, though. How do I get to dance and be friends with and work for...for...for him? Amazing. He is so good looking I can't even tell you. My knees felt wobbly. I thought I was literally going to melt on the spot when he looked me straight in the eye, with that beautiful damn smirk and those gorgeous freaking eyes and asked me if I was glad he came. I blushed and looked down quickly, answering with a yes. I couldn't believe he was holding my hand and holding my waist with his other. Aah.

My wonderful, beautiful, breathtaking moment with Damon ended as the song came to a close. I smiled at him as a thank you for asking me to dance and I stepped in the direction of the group but stopped once I noticed he had turned the opposite direction. "Hey, where are you going?" I asked.

Shrugging, he said "I think I'm gonna go have a drink."

This is one thing that bothered me about him. "Why do you always drink?" I asked seriously.

"Because I can," he answered, but not looking at me. I could tell there was more too it but I didn't press the subject.

I was sad. "Ok," I agreed. "Thanks for coming and dancing with me."

He half-smiled and stated "any time," but there was something off about the way he said it. Like he suddenly wasn't there anymore. But this didn't stop me from practically floating back over to the group. Seriously, I was on cloud nine right now. I felt so light and spent at the same time.

Caroline noticed this immediately. She questioned me with her eyes but I looked down, smirking so bad, telling her with my body language I would spill after the show. She looked excited to hear about it.

Baby Bee put on a pretty good concert. The crowd was dispersing and my ear drums continued to ring from the loud decibels. Caroline turned on me. "Ok, what the hell happened to you?" She asked eagerly. I saw Matt's happy face slowly start to drag at my mega crush, but never mind him.

I explained what happened and there were a lot of sighs from me as I reminisced over our moment shared. They were laughing at me and how 'bad I got it' for Damon. True that.
