You and I ( A delena story) (under editing)

Love breaks through the ice

So I know I officially completed this story. But today I just reached my goal for this story of over 10k reads 500 votes and 100 comments. I've been having a little bit of writers block on the sequel to this, so I thought since it was so much fun to write for this story why not give you guys a flash back chapter. For helping me reach my goal. I realized I never gave you guys a real delena date so this is just a cute delena moment that is a way of saying thanks and that I couldn't have accomplished as much as I have without all of you readers .

P.S I have begun fixing some of the earlier chapters for grammar and spelling errors a quick touch up of sorts. Also check out my new story "The longest wait,"

Elena's POV

"You weren't kidding when you said this wasn't a lavish date,"

Damon and I stand at the threshold of Donny's ice skating arena.

"You do know that I am really bad at all things athletic right?,"

I remind him hoping that he knows what he is getting himself into.

I know I did cheer leading in high school but that was before I was turned into a vampire and my abilities went wacko some things I excel at and other things I fall flat on my face.

"That's the best part of it all, I'm taking you to do something out of your comfort zone, and we get to experience it together. You took me out of my comfort zone when you said you loved me, and look at me a better person,"

"I highly doubt ice skating will make me a better person."

He pushes the door open, holding it open like a true gentlemen. Waiting for me to suck it up and go inside.

We have a stare off before I huff dramatically and walk right past Damon into the ice rink.

When I finish lacing up my skates I slowly walk the path to my death, the open ice. Right before I'm about to put my first foot on, Damon comes up behind me and kisses my neck gently.

"since we're trying something different tonight, I thought we could do something,"

I turn around clumsily, the shoes making me unstable so I can face Damon. His jaw clenched and eyes shining. I can tell he's trying to hold back a laugh.

"and that something is," I ask raising my eyebrows at him.

"we could pretend for just tonight that we're human again, that we're two young kids in love trying to plan a simple date together, to escape our busy life's for the tiniest bit of time so we can be with each other."

I smile suddenly happy, his idea warms my heart. I have missing the perks of being human.

"yeah that would be lovely,"

"If we're living different lives tonight then we probably need new names," I suggest.

He wrinkles his nose in disgust.

"But I'm one of a kind, ditching my name means I'm going to become like any other dude with a general name,"

I laugh lightly.

"that's the point of the night isn't it, Bob,"

Choosing his fake human name

Earning me a death from "Bob"

"I guess your right Sherly,"

Now that are new names are decided, I am finally forced to go skating.

I step onto the slick frozen water. Right as I'm about to push off into the unknown "Bob" slips his hand into mine.

It's not surprising when I have extreme trouble keeping my balance, so I am stuck clinging onto the wall. "Bob" sticks with me, holding onto the wall trailing behind me, even though I know he could skate with ease, he was being human.

After a while I become comfortable with skating and decide to let go of the wall, it's not as bad as I thought.

"See Sherly I told you could do it" He exclaims not the least bit shocked. With his usual told you so attitude

"Like you ever doubted me," I state.

"Bob" let's go of the wall and is now skating next to me.
After a few laps around.
"Hey Shelby are going to be okay on your own I have to use the little men's room."
"I'll be fine, but come back soon,"
He let's go of my hand and pulls off the ice.

I get was so used to the presence of "Bob" holding my hand, being my rock, that I struggle stay standing focusing the bumpy ice underneath me. My pick catches on a small chunk of ice and I lose my footing.

I fall forward and land uncomfortably .

I try to get to my feet but I can't seem to get up. I lay there unable not moving other skaters whizzing around me, not bothering to help, That's until.
"What kind of normal human boyfriend would I be to beg you to come ice skating and leave you on the ground,"
"Bob's" hand reaches down and I gratefully grab it ready to get off the cold and wet ice. But then Damon who has been using his strength to lift me loses his balance and falls next to me.
We both glance at each other and start laughing.
Other skaters look at use if we were mad but all I care about is the man Laying next to me, his sea blue eyes perfect. He may not have been my dream man but he was the man for me, I hated him but he changed for me and I had a total eclipse of the heart.

"Bob's" POV
"Here are your hot chocolates," the worker says and hands "Shelby" and I two hot chocolates, a very human drink.
We walk hand and hand to a little bench outside the skating rink.
"So it was fun wasn't it?,"
She bites her lip in thought.
"When someone uses the saying hell freezing over I think they're referring to ice skating,"
She jokes, not wanting to admit she actually enjoyed it.
We talk for hours not a care in the world.When both our hot chocolates have gotten cold and it becomes so dark we can barley see each other , "Shelby"and I go back to the car. As I open the door for her I shrug off my coat and place it around her shoulders.
"I'm not cold," see says.
"I know ," I reply.
She stares at me.
"I love you Damon,"
"Shhhhh don't say that out loud Bob might get jealous."
She sighs and kisses me passionalty.
