Delena: Time Together

Pretend

By the time we had settled into the hotel room things were getting kinda weird. Damon and I were acting like the kiss never happened. Instead we were being very flirty and playful. I walked over to my suitcase that sat on the foot of the bed and told Damon I was going to take a shower. In a split second he was standing beside me and holding up my red, lacy underwear.
"You should put these on tonight." He said with a smirk and a wiggle of his eyebrows. I grabbed them from his hand and added them to the pile of pjs I had for the night.
"Good idea." I held in a laugh and walked past him into the bathroom, knowing I had surprised him. It's not often Damon Salvatore was surprised.

I took a long shower, taking extra time to pamper myself and unwind. I had a very stressful day and I deserved it. After about an hour I stepped out of the shower and dressed myself, starting with the red panties. When I left the red bathroom I had brushed my teeth and hair and was fully clothed in shorts and a cami. Damon was sitting on the bed watching and watching a cooking show. He was wearing sweatpants and a black v-neck tee which looked very good on him. I reminded myself I wasn't allowed to think he looked good. He couldn't have me and I couldn't have him. All because I was afraid to let Stefan down.
"Took you long enough." He said, looking my body up and down. I felt the hunger for blood arise but I pushed it away, not wanting to disrupt the peaceful evening. I crawled up the bed and sat beside of him, my ankles crossed. The show he was watching was utterly boring.
"Gimme the remote" I said after about 10 minutes.
"Make me" he teased holding the remote on the other side of him.
"Okay I will!" I zoomed on top of him reaching for the remote and when I finally had it in my hands he flipped us over so both of our hands were over our heads. He was trying to distract me, well two can play at this game! His body hovered over mine so I wrapped my legs around his waist and drew him in closer. His lips were a centimeter away from mine when I flipped us over again and jumped off the bed.
"I win!" I declared.
"Alright fine" he sighed playfully. I climbed back over him and slapped his chest in the process. It was only about 10 pm and we didn't have anywhere to be tomorrow so I wanted to have some fun. I smiled and snapped my head to look at him.
"How about a horror movie?" I asked with excitement lacing my voice.
"But you live in a horror movie, don't you get tired of it?" He exasperated. I rolled my eyes.
"No, because they aren't real so they're fun!"
"I'm gonna go get something I'll be right back." He said and hopped off the bed and out the door.
     My thoughts began to surround me again. We were acting as if that heated kiss meant nothing earlier. I know it meant something because you can't feel that kind of passion without it meaning something. I wish we could talk about it but if we did that he'd ask questions that I'm not ready to  answer. It's true I have feelings for Damon, but I'm not sure I'm ready to commit to them yet.
I sighed and tried to focus on choosing a movie. After about 15 minutes of searching I found a creepy clown movie that would probably give me night mares for days. Damon still wasn't back yet so I decided to check my phone. I had a lot of voicemails and texts. I knew I needed to call someone so I clicked on Jeremy's number and let it ring.
"Elena? Is that you?" I heard his familiar voice ask worriedly.
"Yes Jeremy it's me. I'm fine."
"So I guess that means you turned." I could hear the disappointment in my voice.
"I was to ready to die. So Damon took..." Before I could finish he interrupted.
"Wait so you trust Damon enough to help you through this?"
"Jer I need him right now." Tears threatened to fall "I don't have anyone else. I'm sorry everything had to happen like this."
"I know Elena" he continued "it's not your fault."
"How have you been doing?" I asked trying to change the subject.
"You've only been gone for a day."I slight chuckle vibrated through the phone which made me smile.
"How have you been doing so far? With the blood and stuff."
"Not too bad I can handle it pretty well as long as I'm kept distracted."
"That's good. I was afraid you were going to be a ripper or something."
I laughed a bit at that remembering Stefan. Us dating, seemed like a year ago when in reality it was less than a month.
"Are you still with Stefan or are you and Damon like a thing now?"
"I'm not sure Jer, I'll let you know when I know."
"Alright well give me a call tomorrow. I'll tell Alaric you're okay."
"Thanks Jer, love you." I said wishing I could hug him through the phone.
As soon as the line clicked I heard the door open. Damon came strolling in with a big bag of stuff.
"What's all that for?" I asked curiously.
"Well" he set the bag on the counter and presented each thing "I got popcorn, licorice, and some waters and cokes." I laughed as he continued to more out of the bag.
"Next, I got bourbon, chocolate covered strawberries and last but not least, two bags of my personal favorite B positive!" His grin was stretching from ear to ear as he laid everything out on the table in front of us. My giggling carried on as he grabbed two shot glasses and filled each of them up with a bit of Coke, then a bit of bourbon. He handed me one which I almost spilled.
"To us!" I declared before clanking the shot glasses together and downing it.
