Where Have You Been {Vampire Diaries fanfic}

chapter 6

Damon and Stefan were standing outside the complex Jess sent them to. Bonnie and Matt were grabbing something to eat. Damon ceased this alone time to ask his brother the question that’s been burning a hole in his mind. “Stefan, does Jess seem familiar to you?”

“Familiar, how so?” Stefan asked as he turned his stone face to his brother.

“Like we should know her,” Damon shrugged.

“Don’t ruin this,” Stefan warned.

“What is that supposed to mean?” Damon asked not understanding were all the hostility his brother was oozing steamed from.

“I’ve noticed the way you were eye fucking Jess. The last thing we need is for you to get killed,” Stefan cautioned his brother.

“You mean it’s the last thing Elena needs,” Damon corrected.

“Look you’re the one insisting on leaving and just blocking her out,” Stefan said, not understanding his brother’s secrete need to get away.

“I want her to be happy and I don’t make her happy,” Damon shrugged.

“We both know that’s bull,” Stefan found himself laughing.

“You won, yet again, and we had a deal,” Damon shrugged as Jess and Luckette walked over.

“What deal?” Luckette asked. She only heard the last bit of Damon’s statement and didn’t like it at all.

“I guess your mom didn’t teach you about eavesdropping, or staying out of grown folks' business,” Damon muttered down at Lucky then smiled up at Jess.

“Where’s Bonnie,” Jess said putting her hand over Lucky’s mouth before she got a chance to respond. Stefan couldn’t help but smile at the sight. Something about Luckette and Jess did feel familiar to him, but he didn’t know why.

“Bonnie and Matt made a McDonald’s run,” Stefan smiled. “I’m Stefan by the way and this is my brother Damon,” Stefan said shaking Lucky’s hand.

“I’m Luckette and that’s Jess,” Lucky said trying to be nice like her mother cautioned her before they left the house.

Jess’s phone buzzed with a text message. “Um, it’s getting cold, could you take Stefan and Damon up to the loft?” Jess asked Lucky.

“If you’re sure,” Lucky song.

“Now!” Jess said looking up from her phone.

“Fine,” Lucky said walking to the door.

“I’m going to stay out here and make sure Matt and Bonnie are okay,” Damon said to Stefan.

“I can do it,” Stefan said. He looked between his brother and Jess.

“I’ll be fine, and you have more patience then I do,” Damon said. Stefan sighed cause he knew if Damon and Lucky were left alone they would try to kill each other.

“Fine,” Stefan said following after Luckette.

After Jess’s phone buzzed for the twentieth time in the three minutes they’ve been waiting Damon spoke up. “Are you sexting, or something?” he asked walking a little closer to her.

“Or something,” she replied looking at him with her breath taking lilac eyes.

“How old are you?” he asked seeing a soft youthfulness in her he hadn’t noticed before.

“Old enough,” she said looking down at her phone when it buzzed again.

Damon grabbed it out of her hand and moved at vampire speed to the corner. “You and Ryan must be really serious,” he smiled reading the ungodly text they were sending to each other.
