In a world of just in time

Chapter 2

Elena's POV

I wake up hearing the sound of the waves crash into the beach. I try to open my eyes but the light from the rising sun is burning so it takes me a few minutes to work out where I am.

I sit up and look across the water. It's beautiful. I've always loved it here.

It's still pretty dark since the sun is just rising. It's cold but I like it, it's refreshing. It doesn't take long for me to actually process what I am looking at.

Why the fuck am I on the beach early hours of the morning? What the hell happened last night?

I don't feel hung over but then again I am used to drinking. I look down at myself so see I'm still in my dress but the fabric has been ripped at the front. Oh well I never liked this dress anyway. Examining myself I see I'm wearing someone else's shirt. I can also feel I'm not wearing any underwear. Shit.

I look around but there is no one there. Images of last night come flashing back to me. Damon. I must of had a lot to drink last night. I get up slowly at lean against the pole. I'm underneath the dock, my drunk self must have thought this would be the perfect place to have sex. I sigh as I look back across the water, I can almost feel myself bend pulled in.

I breathe in the salty air, continuing to lean against the pole.

"Good morning"

The voice startled me. I quickly turned to see Damon. Wearing no shirt but at least his pants were on. I was hoping he would have left. It was make this far less awkward.

"Do you remember what happened last night?" He asked looking me up and down. By the way I looked he would be able to quickly work out what happened between us.

"No." I managed to lie. I didn't want to remember what happened if he couldn't.

"Yeah same here but I have good feeling I can make an accurate guess." I looked back out to the sea ignoring his comment.

Damon's POV

Even now she looks beautiful, as her messy hair slowly moved in the wind. Her eyes still shone and looked full of hope as she looked out to the water. In this light I could see her face, she is stunning. At school she somehow never shows her face but right now she couldn't hide away. And damn the way she looked in my shirt, I didn't ever want to ask for it back.

I quickly snapped out of my thoughts. What the hell is wrong with me. No just no but she can still keep my shirt.

"So do you want to talk about last night?" I asked. I wanted to talk to her, but I don't even know what I'm supposed to say. I can't even remember what happened last night, obviously we slept together but how we ended up together I don't know. I hope my memories of the night come back to me.

"No." She answered still looking out to the water. I did feel a little annoyed that she is just shutting me down, no girl ever shuts me down. I felt my cockiness come back as I said, "I may not remember much but I know our bodies went well together. You know we fit together very well if you know what I mean." I smirked at her but she never look my way, she just replied "right." "So if you ever want to again just let me know. I'll be able to schedule you in." Still looking at the water she said, "lucky me."

There was something wrong with her, surely because no one is ever this blunt to me especially when I'm not wearing a top.

I heard her sigh before she finally looked my way. There was now a different look in her eyes. Before when she was looking at the water there was hope and joy and now she almost looked scared. Did I hurt her or something? Maybe she just really regretted sleeping with me.

She looked down at the ground before she spoke, "I should really go. Bye." She then turned around and walked up the beach. She didn't appear to be hung over at all, she must really be that used to alcohol. I quickly ran up behind her.

"Wait Elena. Would you like a ride home? My car is here."
"No." She quickly responded.
"Wow are you sure. After last night it's the least I could do. Let me drive you home"
"No and do you think because we slept together we need to pretend this was anything more that a one night stand." She was still walking away from me. What is her problem? I'm now irritated.
"Well maybe we could actually get to know each other, maybe friends or friends with benefits?" She then quickly turned around.
"No now leave me alone. I already know everything I need to know about you. Everything you could want in life is just given to you and you think because you're good looking you'll get whatever you want and you know what? You probably will. And you'll sleep with any girl you'd like and feel nothing for her so just leave me alone! And let's never think about last night again. It was a massive mistake." She stood there for a moment, I could feel my anger rising. "Alright then fuck you Elena! You're the loner loser who sleeps around and gets into trouble all the damn time! You'll probably end up working on street corners."

She didn't respond. What I said didn't even appear to effect her. She simply turned around and continued to walk up the beach.

Bye then. I need to get home anyway.

Elena's POV

I kept my head down and walked away. What he said didn't bother, I've heard worse.

He doesn't care about me, no one ever does. At least I got to have some fun last night I guess.
