Resentful Damon - Vampire Diaries

Chapter 3

I was watching TV when I heard the lock of the door open. I pretended to stare at an imaginary point, waiting for Stefan to come to me.

"So, what happened for your first day at school? Did it go well? Have you made some new friends?" I asked with a smile on lips, like a good parent would do. But the only difference, my smile was fully ironic.

"Very funny, Damon" His voice seemed tired of this, of me. "Going to my room now."

"Very well, as you want then", My voice was calm and polite and that should have warned him, considering I spent all of my time teasing him, but he just left.

I was impatient to see his reaction when he would discover Elena, the very human Elena, her blood. He was going to explode! I waited patiently and heard a scream but also a grunt. I went upstairs to discover what was happening. Got to say, I didn't really expect that. No, I wasn't expecting Elena in a towel (looking good by the way), with a face red with shame and ran in her bedroom while Stefan, completely pissed that was now looking at me.

"You got to know each other I see." I was still smiling.

"Damon, what is all this? Who is she?"

"Hum, an old friend that is going to live here for a while."

I left and heard Elena quickly joined me downstairs. I followed, taking a sorry expression when I looked at her.

"I'm truly sorry, it was my brother. He is... well my brother is very clumsy sometime!"

"Oh no, don't worry... it's me!" She was avoiding my look, maybe considering we almost saw her naked.

"You're hungry? You didn't eat a thing!" I tried to change the subject, maybe it would ease her.

"Yeah actually I am!" She started smiling while nodding.

I then wondered what I could cook and Stefan went down. And as planned, he messed up.

"So, Katherine, how are you since those 145 years?" He pretended to really care, when Elena frowned turning to face him.

"Huh... what are you talking about? Katherine? ... I think I'm not the one you're looking for." She tried to smile while he replied, and she lost her smile.

"Yeah, of course, well tried Katherine, but not this time!"

"My name is not Katherine and I don't know you!" Her voice was high, quite pissed with a black look.

I watched both of them, amused by this whole misunderstanding and decided to intervene.

"Stefan, this is Elena G... Elena. She just got here and didn't have a home yet, so I offered her to help. Sorry Elena." I turned to face her, with her red cheeks thanks to her anger. Katherine is a cousin we didn't see in a long time and she looks a lot like you."

"oh... huh sorry Elena, I didn't mean to... I sincerely apologize!" He made an apologizing smile, quite frustrated by what just happened.

"Oh okay, I get it, it's really hard to miss someone. I'm sorry!"

"You already visited I presume. Have you eaten yet?" Stefan smiled again.

"The visit was made by your brother and he was about to cook I believe." She looked at me with curious eyes.

"It's exact." I confirmed. "What do you want to eat?"

"As you want, I don't have a particular taste or preferences."

"Okay then I'll take what I have around me."

She nodded and left with a smile while I turned to Stefan, whispering.
