Is that about me?

I wake up, obviously I fell asleep last night after we cuddled. We're still completely naked and our fingers are still intertwined. I look at Damon sleeping, I stare at him, he's so cute. Than I get up to wash my face, being careful not to wake him up.
"Where are you going?"
He's talking with a morning voice, it sounds so sexy. I look at him, he can barely open his eyes, so he's just looking at me with one.
"I was just going to wash my face."
I stand up but he grabs my arm.
"Come here, you." He kisses my lips and my breasts.
"Damon..." I giggle.
He strokes my cheeks.
"Was I okay?"
I ask him. He looks at me.
"Are you serious? You were so much more than okay, god you're sexy." I giggle again.
"I think I'm going to call you sexy-ass from now on."
"Sexy-ass?"
"Yeah."
"Damon, you do know that you're crazy right?""
"I don't care, because I got myself a sexy-ass." I laugh, he's an idiot.
He lifts up my chin.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Than he squeezes my ass.
"Now let's take a shower."
So we take a shower together. After that it's 12am, dad's going to be home soon.
"Damon, I really need to go home, or dad will know that I didn't sleep home."
"Ohhh, why can't you just stay here?"
"You can come to my place?"
"No, Stefan said he needed me to be home later..."
"Well, okay. But I really have to go." I grab my jacket and walk to the door while putting it on.
"Am I not even getting a proper goodbye?" He pouts and than grabs my arm, turns me around and kisses me intense. I smile and we look at each other, than he kisses me again, short this time.
"I love you." I say.
"I love you too."
I give him a last kiss and than leave. I'm walking home quick, hoping dad isn't home yet, but he is.
"Hey, did you have fun?"
Wait, what? Does he know? And why is he being so easy about it? I don't know what to say, there's a lot of panic inside me.
"I spoke to Cassidy, you were taking a shower when I called. Just next time when you go sleep at her place, let me know please."
The panic flies away, Cassidy is my Guardian angel, but does this mean she knew I was staying at Damon's tonight, or did she just guess so?
"Yeah, we had fun." I tell dad, than I go upstairs. When I sat for a few minutes and all the panic is gone, I realise I left my necklace at Damon's. I must have left it in the bathroom when we had taken a shower and I suddenly had to rush. Dad doesn't know I was at Damon's just this morning, so I can just say that we're going to do something together today. I go back downstairs.
"Dad, I'm going to Damon. We're going to take a walk or something."
"Okay, have fun." Rose is playing a game on the Playstation, she has no attention for me.
"Thanks." I leave, I take the car this time, because I don't feel like walking. When I arrive I ring the bell, but no one opens, and I don't see Damon or Stefan through the window, so I take the key that Damon hid under one of the planks of the porch and get in. I hear them talking upstairs, and it doesn't sound like a nice conversation. I just want to yell that I'm here when I hear Stefan raise his voice and say: "I was meant to meet her first, I was meant to be most important to her!"
"Why haven't you brought it up in all these weeks, months, and now suddenly you're picturing me like the bad guy?"
"Because... Damon, dad is back, you don't know that, but he's here, he came back."
It's quiet for a second.
"He found out and now you got him mad. He wanted me to protect her."
"I know... That was the plan and I messed up. But Stefan, I love her. We'll both be there for her."
"I'm not saying that I want her like that, I have Cassidy. Damon, you don't understand, it's dad. You know how he can be."
I am standing downstairs, listening to their conversation. I don't understand what they're talking about. Is this all about me, what do they mean?
"You don't have to be scared of him! I'll protect you, I always will."
They both don't say anything for a while, and I feel confused.
"I just want to show dad that I can be worth something too." Damon says. "I didn't know I would fall for her."
"And now you're in love. You know that if dad sees you he'll forbid you to see her again, right?"
"I won't let that happen."
And with that he's walking downstairs. I try to run outstairs without him seeing me, but I'm too late.
"Elena?" I hear him saying. Shit, busted. I turn around.
"Uhm, hii. I was just, uhm, I left my necklace, I thought no one was home."
Stefan comes downstairs too now. They look at each other.
"Elena, how much did you hear?"
"What do you mean, I didn't hear anything?" That's the first thing I could think of to say, but of course they don't believe me. I try to get out.
"I have to go home, dad's waiting for me."
I open the door and walk outside, I don't know what to think. Damon and Stefan are just standing in the door opening, like they're stiffened. But when I arrive at my car, Damon lays his hand on my arm.
"Elena, we should talk about this."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Don't act silly, I know you heard us. Come in, please. We can explain."
I feel very confused and don't know what's the best thing to do, but I want to know what this was all about. I hope that there is an explanation for it, that it was all just a misunderstanding. And I know I can't drive like this, so I close the door of my car and walk back with Damon.
