Unconditionally

Chapter 2

"Elena?" She turns around to see Stefan with flowers and his car parked right next to him.

"Stefan?"

"What are you doing here? I thought you were at Caroline's party."

She walks forward to him and whispers in tears. "You knew?" He doesn't answer. "Tell me Stefan. Why did you come here?"

"Yes alright! I knew that his daughter is dead!" He shouted.

"Wow! I guess I was the only person he hid this from." She said sarcastically.

"Listen Elena, he didn't want you to get worried-"

"Worried?" She cut him off. "Seriously Stefan? Worried? He didn't even tell me that he got married and had a daughter! And I suddenly find out that she is dead!" Elena screamed furiously.

"I'm sorry alright. Lets just go home. You're tired Elena."

"I'm not going anywhere." She said sternly.

"Yes you are. Lets go."

"I don't want to Stefan! I need to talk to Damon."

"No you're not. We are going home NOW." She flinched at the tone of his voice. It was the first time he ever spoke to her like that.

"Okay." She whispered softly, afraid of what je would do.
After they went home, she made sure Stefan was asleep so she could sneak out. Silently tip-toeing, Elena changed her clothes before driving to Damon's house. She knew she shouldn't but she had to. Needed to. After all it has been 5 years since she saw his beautiful face, kissed him, touched him. As soon as she reached, she stepped to his front door and took a deep breath befofe hesitantly ringing his doorbell. Why did i come here? I should have stayed at home. What am i going to tell him? She thought to herself. Before she could turn around, she heard his footsteps and in a second the door opened.
Elena gasped.
There he was. Damon Salvatore. Just like she remembered him. Tall, hansome, breathtaking raven haired Damon. He looked at her with surprise filled blue eyes and stared at her.
"Elena?"
She said nothing as she jumped into his arms and the smell of him and his cologne invaded her. I missed you so much Damon. She thought. He hugged her back tightly while closing the door and bringing her in.
Elena raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"I missed you Damon. So much."
"I missed you too Elena." You have no idea how much, he added in his mind.
She finally realised why she came here, and spoke before he interrupted.
"Damon the grave, I-I- saw yo-ur daughter..." She stammered.
Damon took a deep breath before answering.
"Yes she died Elena. The voice you heard on the phone was me listening to her voice mails." Then she saw something else. A tear dropped from his eye.
"I named her Maria, because of you." He gently touched her cheek and she leaned into his touch. But he suddenly stiffened and asked,
"Where is Stefan?"
"He is at home. He is fine."
Damon nodded his head. "Would you like to stay?"
"Yes" Elena answered quickly. Maybe even a little too quickly.
"Damon?"
"Hmm?"
"Where is your wife?"
"She died with Maria."
Oh my god, he suffered so much and i didnt even know...
"Who was she?"
"Stefanie Smith, remember? From your college"
Then it suddenly appeared to Elena. Stefanie was the queen bee of college, she had every guy at her feet except the Salvatore brothers...

Flashback- 5 years ago. Elena's P.O.V
"Hey Lena!" Stefanie called.
"Oh hey Stefanie watssup?"
Stefanie flipped her blonde hair behind and smiled like a cheshire cat.
"Oh I'm just fine darlin. I heard Stefan proposed you huh?"
"Umm yeah he kind of did"
"Well good for you but you kniw what? I heard his elder brother is coming to town. I bet he is even hotter and will obviously fall in love with me!" She giggled.
"Oh um- wait. Why is he coming to town?"
"Well duh, for the wedding you silly!"
Stefan invited him for the wedding? Wow i haven't even seen the guy and he is already invited. Great, I guess we are gonna have to meet Damon Salvatore and i have feeling im gonna remember this forever.

Present Day. Elena's P.O.V
"Oh ya I remember her. She was your biggest fan." I smiled. Poor girl she must have loved Damon so much. Just like me.
"Hey you wanna go change? I'll wait." Damon interrupted my thoughts.
"Ya um okay. But can I sleep with yo? I mean only sleep."
"Elena i dont thi-"
"Please. I really need it."
He looked at me for a moment before replying.
"Okay"
"Thank you" I smiled.
You can go freshen up, ill wait."
"Okay" I replied. I went up to his bedroom to see how beautiful it actually was. A king- sized bed and beige walls with a jacuzi in his bathroom. Typical Damon, I chuckled. Just like I remember him.
"Hey Elena?"
"Ya?" I turn around to see Damon standing with his boxers.
"You can take these if you're not comfortable sleeping in jeans." He said hesitantly.
"Um sure ya okay." I stuttered.
I took his boxers and changed inthe bathroom. After I freshened up I removed my jacket. Only to be left in my crop top that i wore for the party. What do i do? I cant just wear Damon's shirt now can I? No way...
I took a deep breath and stepped out of the bathroom only to see Damon shirtless. I blushed. Of course I did. It has been a long time since I saw him like this.
He looked at me with darkened eyes and slowly, hesitantly stepped towards me until we were inches apart. His hot breath tickled my ear as he slowly leaned down and whispered.
"You should go to sleep Elena, its late.
He slowly leaned back and we stood like that for a atleast 5 seconds until I couldn't take it anymore and I whispered.
"Kiss me Damon."
And he did.
