Elena's Cousin( The Vampire Diaries/Twilight crossover)

Nineteen

I took a deep breath before starting the story to Elena.

"What relationship would probably be there between a guy and a girl if it isn't a friendship?" I asked her and my cousin's eyes widened in shock. I think she got the point.

"Were you guys a thing?" She asked still with widened eyes. I couldn't stop the  chuckle from escaping my mouth.

"Not exactly but almost. " I said in bits and pieces and once I got the look from her which said 'Spill it or you're dead', I decided to elaborate on it.

"We were very close friends, El. Really really close. He would never leave my side and so do I. Esme even suspected that we were secretly dating and all that. One fine day, Emmet told me that Edward was gonna ask me out the following day. I wasn't mad or confused because I did like him so much. I think I loved him." I paused because Elena held my hand probably noticing the past tense I'd used when I said 'loved'.

"And the following day happened to be our first day of school starting our junior year or something. That's when everything went downhill. Bella made her entry as a new girl and that's the same day Edward exited my life as the close person he was. He did act normally whenever he was around me but I felt that he was too distant and have changed ever since she had arrived." I sighed, really a very long and deep one. That was one hell of an explanation.

Elena kept looking at me or more like gawking at me. I think she's expecting for some more explanation.

"That's it, El." I said and she didn't change her gawking expression.

She hugged me sideways and gave a squeeze.

"You really had been through a lot of stuffs, Trix. But I'm happy that you never stop smiling genuinely and having fun." She went on. Oh! She's right. I don't dwell on the past or hard feelings for too long.

"So? Do you like Damon?" Elena asked her next question. How many more questions are left? Thought I got a hint of what she's meaning by that question, I chose to ignore my smartness and answered her casually.

"Yes, of course. He's my BFF." I said grinning widely as the memory flashed in my head, when I labeled him as my BFF. I did it for fun and to make him feel good but he did end up as my real BFF now.

Elena shook her head, disapprovingly. 

"I didn't mean that 'like'. Do you like him as more than a friend or BFF?" She shot me right at the head with that direct question.

I can do the thinking later. So, I answered in few seconds without giving her any time to suspect me or come to conclusions.

"Nah!" I said and we heard a glass bottle shattering.

Elena and I jumped up from the couch and found Damon standing next to his liquors table starring at the ground where the glass pieces were scattered.

"What's wrong?" Elena asked.

"Nothing. I was bored." He shot us his signature smirk and flew out in a flash, leaving Elena to grumble at his cocky behaviour and I was left to ponder over Elena's last question.

Oh! Shit. Damon might've heard everything what Elena and I had spoken a few minutes ago, right?

Damn, damn, damn.

Stefan being the sweetheart he is, bought some food for Elena and I. Awe. Yes, I did say that out aloud when he handed us the food package.

After having dinner, Elena and Stefan got cozy on the living room's couch and I insisted on hitting Damon's room. Elena did glare at me for awhile but she smiled and agreed finally. I was gonna go up to his room anyway. I had missed his silk covers.

I dived on his bed like a pro swimmer and melted in it's glory. I'm melting. I'm melting. Wheeee!

I was a bit tired but didn't sleep right away. I was enjoying to the fullest on this silky heaven.

Just then I heard the door open and Damon made his way inside. I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep. I'm in no way ready for any conversations about what Elena and I'd been talking back then, in the living room.

There was some shuffling noises heard before the spot next to me weighed down a bit. Uh-oh!

"Are you asleep, yet?" Damon leaned against my back and was so close to my ears.

I giggled. I couldn't pretend anymore. I turned around and he was smiling so cutely at me with his elbow propped on the bed and his head on his hand. 

I grinned and cuddled against him.

"Edward huh?" Damon asked, teasing tone crystal clear in his voice.

I punched him in his chest and nodded my head. Thank God! I didn't have to explain the flashback all over again to him.

"Hmm." He wrapped his hand around my waist and chuckled.

"So, what's the answer to the question about our relationship?" He shocked me. I didn't see that coming.

I pulled back from his cozy chest to look at his face.

"You already heard me, right?" I asked.

"But... but I do like you more than a friend, Trix." I shot up and sat straight on the bed, kicking him in the process by mistake.

"What?" I asked, just to make sure that he's playing with me.

"I'm serious." Damon pulled himself up and leaned against the head board with his head facing my direction.

"Um... umm I don't know what to say." I started stuttering way too badly.

It was too shocking to know that he likes me more than a friend.

"It's okay. You don't have to say anything to that. I didn't say anything, okay. Don't move away from me, fluffy." Wow, another name for me. Fluffy. I like it.

Shut up, Trixie. That guy is being so serious here. He looked so hurt and scared at the same time.

"But I too feel the same way, baby blue. Okay, I'll forget what you'd just said. Good night." With that I turned around and laid back down on the bed, grinning sheepishly for what I'd just did or more like confessed.

"Whaaaaaat?" I heard him screech and pounce on me. I started giggling badly.

He was lying over me and was looking into my eyes. Geez! I got some weird feelings and started blushing.

"Awe." He kissed me on my forehead and then pecked me on my lips. My hormones went crazy and started misbehaving inside. 

He rolled over and pulled me closer to him. I rested my chin on his chest and stared at his, all of a sudden beautiful face. Hehe.

"Don't need to push too fast or anything. Let's take things slowly, okay?" He asked looking up at the ceiling.

I nodded my head by poking him with my chin. He chuckled and squeezed me tightly.                          

Awe, I've a boyfriend now. The minute I saw him cry when I woke up from the dead state, I felt the love in his eyes and started loving him too much.

I'd been keeping it as secret from my own self this long. Haha.
