It's Time To Wake Up, Elena

Chapter 10

Elena's POV

I heard the front door open behind me but I didn't bother to look at who walked out the house, but then I looked over to see Damon sitting next to me on the steps. I could tell on his face that he was speechless about what I said in the house. 

"Damon..."

"I'm sorry, Elena" he was still looking down.

"For what? You did nothing wrong, Damon." I questioned him.

"Everything. This spell. The pain you've been in for six decades. All of it." he looked me in the eyes. I could tell he was hurting after what I said earlier.

"That spell, was not your fault, it was no one's fault." a tear rolled down my cheek. Damon smirked and wiped the tears away.

"I love you, Elena." he started tearing up. 

I smiled and grabbed his hand, "I love you, Damon Salvatore." I said that because I knew that was the last thing I said to Damon in our 'see you soons'.

He looked into my eyes with his crystal blue ones and looked down to my lips and back to my eyes. He started moving towards me, slowly. I smiled, our faces were inches apart. He smiled at me, a real smile. Then, ruining the moment between us, Stefan and Caroline opened the front door. I jumped at the sound but Damon stayed still, I don't even think he heard the door open. I looked at Stefan and Care, Damon looked at me confused then looking at them with a 'thanks for ruining the moment' look...I laughed at that.

"It's getting late." Stefan smiled knowing that he is driving Damon crazy because he keeps walking in on Damon and I during our 'moments'.

"I'm gonna stay here for the night to make sure you're okay and settled in." Care said to me with a friendly smile.

"Thanks, Care." I got up from the steps and walked back inside with Stefan and Caroline.

Damon's POV 

I couldn't keep smiling,  I really don't know what was wrong with me. Just everything about Elena makes me real...human again. We were about to kiss too. But of course Stefan and Blondie just had to ruin our moment...again. But I don't really care. Just knowing that Elena is still in love with me was everything I could of wished for, it meant everything to me, and more.

I got up and joined everyone in the kitchen.

"So when's your guys wedding?" Elena leaned against the counter top.

"In a month, June 14th." Caroline said practically jumping up and down. "And you're my maid of honor, you have no choice." She laughed.

Elena started laughing. I love Elena's laugh, it was like an angels. "Goodnight, Elena." Caroline said and started walking upstairs to Stefan's bedroom.

"Night, Elena." Stefan followed Caroline upstairs.

It was just us again, no more Stefan and Caroline to ruin to moment. Just us. Elena looked me in the eyes and gave me a playful smile before she ran off into the living room. I laughed then vamped to her, tackling her onto the floor. She kept giggling as I got on top of her and pinned her hands down. I looked down at her, this is everything I've every wanted in the past 65 years...Elena in my arms. Elena calmed her laughter and looked up to me with eyes full of love and desire. I smirked at her and started leaning down slowly. She gazed up at my eyes then at my lips. Then, in that moment. Our lips touched for the first time in 65 years.
