It's Time To Wake Up, Elena

Chapter 12

Elena's POV 

Damon and I are getting ready for Bonnie's funeral that starts in like an hour,  but to tell you the truth it's hard to focus on something this serious with Damon 10 feet away from me doing that eye thing that drives me nuts, you know what I'm talking about! Oh, jeez. It's happening again, my smile went into a worried look, Damon stopped and looked at me concerned. I was freaking out about the whole Damon cure human thing. I mean he said he would take it 65 years ago but still what if he changed his mind.

"What's wrong?" he said.

I snapped out of it, "Huh? Wait? I-I'm fine."

"Okay..." he trailed off and smiled. He walked towards a mirror as he struggled with his tie. I laughed and walked over to him. I'm wearing this dark purple dress with lace and white heels.

"Hey. Hey." I grabbed his shoulders turning him towards me. I undid the knot he created on his tie and fixed it. I looked up when I finished with his tie, he tilted his head and looked at me and smirked. He leaned in for a kiss but I backed away, he looked confused.

"Mr. Salvatore? Did you just try to kiss me?" I laughed.

"I'm sorry Ms. Gilbert. You are sending me mixed signals." He played along.

"Mr. Salvatore, why do you wish to kiss me on this fine evening?" I chuckled.

"Well Ms. Gilbert, you are the love of my life." He vamped in front of me, our faces inches away. "And if I wish to kiss my love, then I shall." He smiled and kissed me. I feel like the world stops spinning every time we kiss, and that it's just us, everyone else fades away. We pulled away from the kiss and stayed inches apart as we gazed into each others eyes. Moments like these, that's what I live for. I smiled and walked out of Damon's room, I heard him laugh but he didn't come out of his room for about 15 minutes. I peeked in a few times to make sure everything was okay but when I did he was going through old boxes he had in his closet, but when he saw me he would get up and tell me he was coming down in a minute and not wait up on him. I just nodded and walked downstairs with Caroline and Stefan. After 6 or 7 minutes Damon finally came down with a grin on his face.

"What's with you?" Stefan stared at Damon.

"Tell you later." Damon smirked at Stefan. I was confused but I just shrugged and got into the car with Caroline. Damon and Stefan drove together in Damon's Camaro for some reason but it's fine I wanted to just hang with Care and tell her everything about Damon and I like we use to do.

Damon's POV

Bonnie's funeral was about a half an hour drive, and yes I hated being apart from Elena that long but I needed to talk to Stefan without ears on us. 

"So you want to tell me why you're so chipper lately?" Stefan asked me. I wish I could just say it, but for some reason it was so hard to say out loud to Stefan.

"Okay. Okay-" I finally got out. Okay just say it. "-I was looking for something that I packed away a little after Elena was put asleep and I found it."

"...so...." he was confused where I was going with this.

"I got it right after Elena took the cure and uhh..." I couldn't fine words to come out of my mouth.

"You okay?" he seemed worried about how I was acting. If I was human, my heart would be beating out of my chest, I really couldn't breathe. Why am I so worried? Just say it.

"I'm going to propose to Elena."
