Your Undoing[Complete] - D.S

My Turn To Fix You

(Unedited.)

Damon paced back and forth as he ran a small towel through his head. He wanted to go to the spare room she was currently residing in and talk to her. Kiss her. Bask in her ambiance. Anything. He wanted to see her, really see her. It had been a whole hour since he's done so when Elijah suggested both he and Evie get cleaned up.

"Come on, Damon. Don't be such a wuss." He coaxed himself. "You just go in there and apologize for being such a dick."

A soft knock on the door was heard but he ignored it.

"-Then man up, and, an-and tell her how you feel-"

He heard the second knock but chose to ignore it.

"And then you take her in your arms and you kiss the hell out of-"

The third knock he blew out a breathe of frustration before storming over and flinging it open.

"Wha-Evie."he breathed out. "Hi."

Standing before him in a maroon silk robe was Evangeline a small smile on her face.
"Hello." Evangeline blushed pushing her hair out of her face.

"Hi." Damon repeated robotically causing her to giggle.
"Yes you said that. Mind if I come in?"

"Can we talk?"
"After you."

I'm sorry. I'm sorry I screwed thinks yo so monumentally. I'm sorry for betraying your trust. I'm sorry for daggering your brother. I'm sorry for making you think my feelings for you were anything less than genuine. I'm sorry I made you feel so low you turned your humanity off. I'm sorry I took advantage of your kindness. I'm so sorry Evangeline." He used her name for the first time, with sorrowful eyes. "I'm sorry-"

Mute by the gentle Touch Of her hand over his mouth, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"Damon?"
"Yeah?"
"I forgive you." 

Wrapping her arms around his neck she pulled him closer gently pressing her lips against his. She immediately felt like she was walking on air when their lips crushed together. It was magic. Damons mouth was so warm, the sweet caress of his lips softer than she remembered. A low moan passed through her lips as Damon was the first to break the kiss much to her dismay.

"This feeling.." Evangeline broke the silence. "Is this real? Because if so I'll fight for you Damon, we'll fight this out. I'll stand with you."

His heart filled with unfamiliar feeling as he listens to the truth in her words and saw the love in her eyes. It was as real for him as it was for her, and while he wanted to be happy, he knew he didn't deserve it.

"I can't ask you to do that Evie. I can't ask you to do that, not for me. Not when I have to let you go."

Evangeline shook her head. "Damon it's ok. My brother will no longer be a-"
"You don't get it!" Damon snapped. "I'm not letting you go because of him. I'm letting you go because I love you!"

"What?"

"Because I love you Evie. Love is something I don't do." He continued. "The last time time I loved someone they turned me into a monster. This time, I turned you into one. I'm completely wrong for you."
