Lost in The Vampire Diaries (Ch.3)

Chapter 3

OF MONSTERS AND MEN

"Sun's come up

And there's no one else around

Meet me in the shadows

Won't you tell me what you found

You've got everything to lose

Yeah I'm waiting on you"

(Where the Lonely Ones Roam by Digital Daggers)

Claire woke up Monday morning with a smile on her face. She got up from the bed, standing in front of her wardrobe to choose what to wear for the day when she suddenly heard knocking from her window - her opened window -. She turned around curious and then gasped at what she saw.

"Damon!" She looked at him, perched on the tree in front of her window like an overgrown crow, and shook her head. "What are you doing here?" She asked him, coming closer to him.

"Invite me in Claire or your mother will end up seeing me and who knows what she'll think of a man outside her daughter's window..." He was smirking, of course. It seemed he found the situation amusing.

"Fine. Come in Damon." She said while rolling her eyes at him, exasperatedly.

"Thank you." He entered inside her room with the grace of a predator and looked around himself curiously. Then, once he had finished his perusal of her room, he turned his attention towards her and stared, his gaze going up and down her form, before he whistled, loudly. She widened her eyes at that, blushing furiously when she realized what she was wearing, a skimpy black chemise and nothing else. At least it wasn't see-through.

"Get out!" She screamed at him while trying to cover herself.

"I can't! Your mother is still inside the house. And keep your voice down or she'll come upstairs to investigate!" Damon answered with nonchalance, still looking at her.

"Great! Fantastic!" She turned around and grabbed the first things she spotted from inside her wardrobe before closing herself inside the bathroom.

"Don't you want company?" Damon called out from outside the bathroom's door.

"Shut up!" She shouted in return, hearing Damon laughed at that. She took the chemise off and she entered inside the shower, breathing a sigh of relief when she felt the water cascading gently down her body. She was still red in the face, mortified at what had just happened. She showered quickly before starting to get dressed. At least the clothes she had chosen were nice, a pair of leather leggings and a long cream top paired with black high-heeled ankle boots. She applied a veil of make up on her face and she brushed her hair quickly before finally going out of the bathroom.

"You're dressed, that's a shame..." Damon complained with a pout. Claire fought the urge to smile and glared at him instead.

"What do you want Damon?" She put her hands on her hips too for emphasis.

Damon shrugged at that. "Nothing, I was bored."

"I have to go to school Damon, I don't have time to entertain you..." She looked at the clock and widened her eyes at the time. "Oh my god! It's eight thirty! I'm late! I'm beyond late! What the hell happened to my alarm clock?"

"It stopped ringing an hour ago. You really sleep like the dead, you know?" He gave her a wink at that.

"How long have you been outside my window exactly?" Claire asked him with a furious glare.
