Kiss Me or Kill Me (Delena)

Chapter 5

Elena's POV:
"Fuck you, Damon!" Alaric yelled slamming his cards down on the table. Damon had just won Ric's Suburban and Jenna's Mini Cooper on a game of poker. They had started out with playing for fun, then betting money, and now they reached the level of betting their automobiles.

"Look, Ric... I know how much you must want to but I don't swing that way. You're not my type," he smirked. "Jenna on the other hand.." he trailed off leading Ric to break one of Damon's fingers.

Damon cried out before snapping it back into place.

"I was just kidding you fuck!" Damon yelled as the three continued to laugh at him.

"You're not taking my Mini Cooper," Jenna glared. "You're loaded enough as it is."

"That's why I didn't play him, Jenna. He's like a thousand years old. He knows what he's doing," Liz raised her eyebrows raising her drink to her lips.

They continued bickering from across the room. Elena was sitting on a stool in the kitchen next to Bonnie and Caroline.

It had been a month since Damon and Ric had taken them across the country to the middle of nowhere... Nebraska.

It wasn't as boring as it sounds, but still pretty boring. I mean there isn't a lot of farms or crops until you get on the highway, then that's all you see. Damon rented an extremely large house in a city just north of Lincoln. It was a nice town. Way bigger than Mystic Falls, but not as large as Lincoln.

Damon told them they weren't staying long. He was waiting to hear from a friend over in Italy about a safe house waiting for them.

Adjusting to the whole vampire world was extremely hard for Elena and her friends. Ric hadn't really told her a lot about himself after she had found out he had been a vampire. He was an old one too. Older than Damon. All Elena really knew was that they had crossed paths back in the day.

At least she wasn't like Liz and compelled to cooperate with the vampires. Elena and her friends had their moment of freak out where they cried and stayed far away from Ric and Damon as possible. Jenna was the one that calmed them down. She had known about this situation for almost a year which pissed Elena off.

Elena had been trying to keep herself as occupied as often as she could so she didn't have to talk to the two vampires. She didn't trust them. She was focusing more on helping Bonnie with learning more of her witchcraft.

Damon even thought it was a good idea and called up his friend Bri that he had been feeding on from the party to help. She agreed. Elena knew Bri loved Damon. She had been ogling him ever since she had gotten here. Damon had hardly given her a side glance, but Elena caught him a couple times watching her instead from the other side of the room.

"Are they still playing poker?" Jeremy asked Bonnie coming down the steps. He had just gotten out of the shower.

"Yeah. Damon has won everything so far."

"No shit.. Damon is a thousand years old," Jeremy chuckled.

"One seventy five, buddy, one seventy five," Damon shouted from across the room.

"Still old as hell," Jeremy scoffed under his breath.

"I heard that Bieber," he eyed him from across the room.

Jeremy rolled his eyes and turned to Bonnie once again.

"Hey," Elena jumped. Damon was right behind her.

"Jesus you scared me!" Elena held her chest trying to calm her breathing.

"Habit," he shrugged it off his shoulder. "So are you ever gonna talk to me?" He asked smugly.
