Bella's POV
*In Bella's Dreams*
First Memory:

I looked down, I would not cry in public. At all. A tear did fall. I had to make it to a bathroom. I'll cry in a stall. I ran across the restaurant, trying to find the bathroom. I did find one. It was in the narrow space. I ran there, apparently I didn't see the man walking out. And I bumped into him. Before I fell, the man caught my hand and pulled me to him. His hands were soft and warm. And when I looked into his face, he was utterly and irresistibly beautiful. He had reddish- brownish hair that shined from the sun because of the window. He had a dark shade of brown eyes. And he had pale but mostly tan skin. He gave me a smile that made me feel warm inside. "Are you okay?" he asked. It took me a minute to realize what he has said. And I looked at our hands, we were still holding hands. I let go and stepped back. "I'm okay. I'm sorry for bumping into you," I peeped out. "No problem. Are you new? Like here in Mystic Falls? I don't think I ever saw you," Wow. Hes curious. But I kind of adored his curiosity. So why not create conversation? "Actually I just moved here. How long have you lived here?" I asked. He looked down, thinking. Doesn't he know? "I'll have to get back to you after I count. You won't believe the number of years," he said. I smiled. Edward lived in Forks for at least 70 years. I wish this guy knew that I knew about vampires. "I think I can keep up. I found out some outrageous things since I turned eighteen." I said cleverly. He smiled at me again. "I'm Damon Salvatore. And you are?" Damon. Damon was a quite beautiful name. It sounded old. Salvatore especially. But I didn't care. "I'm Bella Swan. Nice to meet you," I replied. Damon smiled took my hand, and kissed it. I was kind if stunned by the gesture, but it was proper. It was sweet. "And it is nice to meet you too. So do you want to get to that conversation?" He asked. I nodded. He walked me to the bar. And I sat in my seat. Damon is in my seat next to me. It was crazy and silly that I was getting to know Damon. But I would let my curiosity roam. Just with this guy. "Can I have a beer?" Damon asked. The bartender gave him one. Great, he drinks. "So why did you move to a small town of Mystic Falls? You look more like a city person," I didn't want to explain everything. Like about vampires or werewolves. He would think I'm crazy. "You really want to hear the story? Like the entire story?" Damon nodded smiling. "I won't think its crazy. My life is crazy enough," Damon replied. Not as crazy as mine, I thought. I breathed in and out, and began explaining, "Okay so I used to live in Forks, Washington. And when I moved there, I met this amazing guy. And he wasn't any ordinary guy." I began. Damon nodded and sipped his beer between sentences. "So I'm guessing this is the begging of a love story?" he asked. "I guess you could say that. But here comes the crazy part. You ready?" I asked. He nodded. I hesitated, but whispered: "Edward's a vampire." I said. "You fell in love with a vampire?" he asked. I nodded. I was happy Damon understood. Damon said something I never thought he say, "I'm a vampire too." he said. What!? How could he be...? He is. Damon Salvatore is a vampire. I had so many questions. Like why isn't his eyes red? Why isn't he incredibly pale? "You can't be a vampire," I said. He gave me a look. "How can you think I'm not a vampire? I'm muscular. I'm hot. At least that's what people tell me," he insisted. I giggled at what he said. "Okay keep going. How did you know he was a vampire? Did he, like tell you? Or did you find out?" His curiosity was very high, "Well, I kind of found out. And then he told me. When he told me he kind of scared me about it." Damon raised his eyebrows, and I answered. "He showed me his power. And believe me he kind of scared me." he nodded. For a while when I was eating, I explained him everything that happened to me. He seemed fascinated, so I was happy about that. But he did go through quite a few drinks. But he still paid attention. After my real story, he wanted to know more. "So about Jacob and Edwin- or Edward. Why did you leave them?" he asked. I looked down. Damon waited. "They died," I peeped out. He gave me a sad look. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to pry." he apologized. I shook my head. "Its okay. Really. So what about you? Mr. Vampire?" I said. Damon smiled at the name. "Okay. So don't be surprised I'm 174. So older then your Edward. I was born in the 1800's. And I lived with my father. My mother died when I was a young age. My father always bugged me about my education when I turned eighteen. It was horrible. I have a brother, Stephan. He always had a big heart. He was sixteen when I started my university. Then a girl came to town. A beautiful, perfect girl," he stopped a minute. And thought. This was shaping up into a love story. But I was interested of Damon's past. "Anyways, Stephan met her. Her name is Katherine. She came over all the time. To see Stephan. But this one day, we met. It was like magic. Katherine always had that way of drawing people into her mind. She was so pretty. But Katherine said she loved both of us. And she couldn't choose one of us. So I tried spending as much time with her as possible. Of course she spent time with Stephan, but we spent time together. And I was happy. Until the night came for her to chose," he looked as if he would cry. I didn't know what to do. To hug him. Embrace him maybe? I just looked into his eyes and he kept going. "Katherine chose Stephan. But one day she changed me and Stephan both. The pain wasn't bad. As long as you don't focus on it. But that night, me and Stephan did a horrible thing. We killed Katherine. If I couldn't have her, no one could." A tear went down his cheek, and this was depressing. We were facing each other on our stools, and I touched his leg, and rubbed him. Damon smiled with pressure. "But about a year ago, I met Elena Gilbert. And she looks just liked Katherine. And we learned Katherine is Elena's doppelganger. But during the year, we leared that Katherine came back. And to this day, me my brither and Elena are fighting againest her." he finished. I nodded. "Do you love Elena?" I asked. He looked down at the ground, letting his brilliant eyes roam. "Well after seeing you, I don't think I like anyone else." I smiled. I just met Damon. Like at least two hours ago. And here he is telling me he liked me. And at that moment I felt in my heart, that it was telling me I liked Damon Salvatore. We both looked into each others eyes, and I felt like entire body turned to liquid. Damon was moving closer to me, and I didn't know if I wanted this. Should I like someone else? I felt as if I was forgetting something. But I didn't care. I was sitting in a bar, trying to kiss a guy I just met. But yet it felt so right that I should do this. Carefree I moved forward, slowly. And when we were 2 inches from each other, we sat there close. I couldn't do this. Yet. Only yet. So I touched this face with my right hand. I stroaked one side of his face. "Bella Swan your full of surprises," Damon whispered. "And Damon Salvatore you have interesting stories," I whispered back. I was still touching his soft cheek. We were in front of everyone, but I didn't care. I felt whole, special. I was about to make the move, but then his phone ringed. Stupid, dumb phone. At the worse time. Damon didn't look happy about it either. He looked down. "Sorry. But I have to take this." I smiled as he got up. Suddenly I felt like my world stopped. I felt like this was cheating against Edward. I looked down. But wouldn't he want me to be happy? I knew he would. At that moment Damon, came back. "Well I actually have to go. But I'll see you later?" he asked. I smiled and nodded. "Here I should give you my number," I insisted. He nodded and I wrote it down and gave it to Damon. "Maybe I should come over to your place soon." I nodded. "I would like that," Damon smiled and left. As soon as he left, I missed him. There was a few facts I made up about Damon and Mystic Falls. One: Mystic Falls had vampires. Two: Damon Salvatore is a vampire. And three: I somehow loved Damon Salvatore.
