Dinner Party

Dinner Party

Damon could hear Stefan muttering typical lovey - dovey crap to Elena , the second he pulled up in the drive of the Gilbert house . He rolled his eyes , climbing out of his car . Damon straightened his black leather jacket , and went up the drive to knock on the door .

Things were getting heated inside . Elena's heart was beating rapidly , and Damon could feel the hunger inside of him coil up . Damon waited , listening intently to what was going on inside , then he thumped on the white wooden door loudly . He grinned , when he heard Elena's surprised gasp , and something fall onto the floor , in the lover's hurry to the door . Damon wiped the grin off his face , settling for the infuriating smirk both his brother and Elena hated .

Ah , Elena , Katherine's doppelgänger . Elena was beautiful , in ways Katherine wasn't . Katherine was selfish , and manipulative , and sure , she had hundreds of flaws , but Damon wanted her , more than he had wanted anyone since being turned . Damon glanced around the porch , still deep in thought . He heard a crash from behind the door , and muttered cursing .

'Damn,' Damon thought . ' What the hell are they doing in there ? Redecorating ?'

The door was pulled open a second later , and Damon almost burst out laughing . Stefan's hair was a bird's nest , and Elena's face was flushed .

Elena smiled at Damon , who couldn't help but smile back .

“Come on in Damon” Elena said , stepping back to let me in the house . Damon smiled , knowing , that now , he could come and go as he pleased .

He stepped in , looking around the Gilbert House , it was beautiful , Damon would admit . Stefan was glaring at him , it was highly immature . Damon smirked , as Elena led him into the kitchen . He dumped his jacket on the counter , and turned to Elena .

“Well , what can I do to help ?” Damon asked . Elena's eyebrows rose in surprise , then she sorted her brain out .

“Uh …. You can stir the sauce ”

Damon nodded , digging around in the drawers for a wooden spoon . He could hear Stefan whispering furiously to Elena .

“You can't trust him Elena . Damon's bad news”

Damon smirked , now stirring the sauce for the pasta . He shoved his hair out of his face , thinking he should probably get a haircut . Maybe a hero hairdo like Stefan's ! That would be awesome , and it would really piss Stefan off .

“Hey Elena , Wanna taste this ?” Damon said , interrupting the argument behind him . Elena came and stood beside Damon , and he lifted the spoon to her lips . She grinned as she tasted it .

“You're good , I think I'll have you cook dinner more often” Elena's voice was sweet and like music to Damon's ears . Damon smiled at her , then turned to Stefan .

“Wanna' take over this ?”

Stefan glared at him , and Damon rolled his eyes . Elena had left , to clear the table or something .

“Why are you here Damon?” Stefan said , pointing the really threatening wooden spoon at Damon . Damon smirked , picking up some place mats , not actually intending to answer his idiotic brother's question . But , annoying Stefan was Damon's goal in life so answering might be best .

“Elena invited me , it would be rude to say no ”

Damon said , breezing out the door , towards the dining table . Elena was standing looking out the back door . She turned around , and Damon felt captivated beneath her dark gaze . She smiled , moving out the way so Damon could put the place mats down .
