Forgotten

Chapter 6 Damon's Wish

Hearing the doorbell ring I quickly try to find a towel to dry my wet hands. I look around me and see no towel. Sighing I look around me. Where did I see Damon place that towel?

“ I’ll get it,” Damon screams appearing suddenly behind me.

I gasp, holding in a scream. I give him an glare to discover he’s already gone. Frustrated I wipe my wet hands on my jeans. Stupid werewolf with his super hearing I complain to myself.

“Serena this is your new tutor Cindy,” Damon says pointing to the short, round woman beside him.

“ Hello Serena ,” she tells me smiling warmly at me.

“ Hi ,” I tell her nervously pulling my hair out of my face.

After a few hours of my lessons Cindy left promising to come back tomorrow. She was a very sweet lady who kind of reminded me of an owl with her huge glasses and big brown eyes. I think I was going to enjoy having her around. I started glancing over my homework when I heard Damon come behind me and felt him lean over me.

“ Are you bored yet?” he asks innocently.

“ Why?” I ask him wondering what he was up to.

“ Because I want to spend some quality time with my dreamer,” he replies softly next to my ear.

I could feel my face turning red and my heart started to pound. Why did he make me feel this way? I sure didn’t want to feel this way. I turned my face away from his to try to keep him from seeing the evidence of my attraction.

“ I suppose I can make time,” I answer him.

“ You suppose, Damon says pouting, you know you want to spend time with me. I’m adorable.”

“ Yeah adorably insane,” I answer annoyed.

Ignoring my comment he grabs my hand and pulls me gently to my feet. The he starts pulling me toward the living room. I see a xbox 360 and two controllers laid out. Great now I can show how bad at am at video games. Sighing I prepare myself for defeat.

Sure enough I lost even though we played old arcade games like dig dug and Pac man. Those are my favorites, even though I normally avoid video games like the plague.

“ How about a drink loser,” Damon says playfully pulling my long red hair.

“ That would be great sore winner,” I tell him trying to pull my hair out of his grasp.

After I answered him he reached down and next thing I know I was in his arms. I glared t him but all I got was that stupid smirk. He walked into the kitchen and gently sat me down on top of the table.

“ I know how to walk you know,’ I reminded him .

“ I thought you may have forgotten,” he teased.

“ Yeah , sure you did,” I grouched.

“ Here drink this it might cure your attitude problem,” he said grinning at me like I was the most entertaining TV show he had ever saw.

Frowning I took the glass of water from him and took a big gulp. The door bell  sounded again. Sighing I wondered who was at the door. I watched Damon hurry to answer the door.

“ Hi mom,” I heard him say.

Oh no, its his mother. That means I have to help her plan my wedding, a wedding I don’t want. Sure Damon was hot, funny and smart, so were a lot of other guys. I was sixteen and I wasn’t ready for this.

“ Hello Serena,” she says coming into the room smiling happily.

“ Hi,” I answer trying to cover up the panic I now felt.

“ So am I allowed to stay or am I being forced to leave? “ Damon asks .

“ You can stay as long as you behave yourself,” she answers.

“ So in other words in about five minutes he’ll have to leave,” I say before I could stop myself.

I cringe and close my eyes. I hope I haven’t upset her. Instead she starts to laugh. I open my eyes and her and Damon are both laughing at my comment. I relax a little but not too much.

“ I guess we should get started then.” she says happily placing tons of papers and pictures on the table.

Three hours later I’m starving and we still have very little of the wedding plans done. Not that I care but in some ways I just want to get it over with. I look at the picture in front of me. A beautiful bride in a wedding dress that I love. Its very old fashioned looking. What I mean is its white and it laces up in the back and the straps hang off the shoulder and its really long. The veil is pretty too, it has lace on it.

“ You really like that dress don’t you,” said a voice beside my ear.

Blushing I push the paper away from me like it has some disease. Of course it would be Damon that notices that I was in love with the dress. He always seemed to notice things I didn’t want him to.

“ Its okay,” I answer pretending to be bored.

“ You’re a really bad liar Serena.” he tells me softly.

Before I can come up with an answer he grabs the picture and takes it over to his mother who is looking at pictures of flowers. What was he doing?

“ This is the dress,” he tells her.

His mother looks up and takes the picture from him. After a few moments of her staring at me and then the picture she smiles. I stare at her uncertain of what to do or what to say.

“This will look amazing on you!” she declares happily.

I stare at her in disbelief. I'm getting the dress. I look over at Damon to find him watching my face. I’m not sure what he’s searching for but he apparently finds the answer . He smiles at me and stares at me with those beautiful  eyes of his.

“ How about we go get a bite to eat?” he asks .

At that moment a question crossed my mind. What all can a werewolf do? I’ll have to ask him that later I thought as I happily got up from the table. For now all I want to do is worry about food.

*********************************************************************

When we got home I was content and happily full. I didn’t even complain when Damon wanted to sleep in the bed with me. I looked up at Damon and he was staring at me again.

“ Something on your mind?” I ask him sleepily.

“ Serena I want you to know that I want you to be happy here, with me. And that I wish that I could erase all the doubt and confusion and hate that you feel toward me.” he says softly.

I stare at him in shock. How did he know I was feeling all of those things. Maybe he understood a lot more than I was giving him credit for. He started stroking my hair and my eyes began  trying to close. I finally let them and gave into the peaceful slumber.
