Arabella Gilbert ♡ TVD

The End Of The Affair

Damon was sleeping soundly when his phone started buzzing on his bedside table. He rubbed his eyes from sleep before he carefully leant over, not wanting to disturb the girl wrapped up in his arms with her legs entangled with his. He looked at the caller ID, frowning when he saw it was an unknown caller. He pressed the green button and quietly said "Hello"

"Missed me?" that all to familiar voice said down the line.

"Katherine" he muttered in distaste, glancing down at the brunette, he slowly and gently untangled their legs before he shuffled out from underneath her "where are you?"

"Lurking outside your window. Pining away"

Damon tiptoed into the bathroom and closed the door behind him "What do you want?"

"I'm homesick. What have I missed?"

"Well Stefan is still Klaus' little bitch and Arabella and Elena are certain we can still save him and no one has actually thought about you since you left."

"What about you? I'm guessing you've given up on him and that you and Elle are stronger than ever now your brothers not there, trying to steal your girl."

"I didnt give up on him, I just don't know where he is. And of course we're stronger than ever, I won't let anyone come between us!"

"Hmm"

"But you do. Are you trailing them?"

Katherine chuckled down the phone. "A hybrid who wants me dead and his sidekick who's off the rails. I couldn't be further away."

"Which means you know exactly where they are."

"All I know is klaus' pitched up a fit once his hybrids didn't work. Now he's looking for some answers."

"How do you know that?"

"Spend five hundred years running, and there will be a few people along the way looking out for you."

"Is that what you're doing? Looking out for my brother?"

"Maybe? Maybe not? I'm conflicted."

"Where are they, Katherine?"

"Chicago"

Damon glanced down at the phone when the line suddenly cut off. He groaned lowly before he quietly opened the bathroom door just as Arabella was climbing out of bed, a small smirk appeared on his lips at the sight of her wearing his tshirt.

"Good morning" he said walking over to her and snaking his arms around her small waist "Why are you up so early?"

"I just woke up and I could hear you talking. Who was it on the phone." Arabella asked standing on her tip toes to give him a morning kiss.

"It was Kitty Kat" Damon admitted rubbing his hand up and down her back. Arabella pulled away and raised her eyebrows, wondering why the hell the dopplebitch would be calling Damon after months of been radio silent. Sensing her silent question, Damon continued "She knows where Stefan is" he told her.

Arabella's eyes widened and a small smile appeared on her lips "Well where is he?"

"Windy city."

"He's in Chicago?" Arabella replied with furrowed brows "What the hell is he doing there?" She pulled away from him and made her way towards the bathroom, he quickly followed after her.
