The Summer of Delena

Chapter 1

Elena walked into the boarding house after going to see Jeremy with a massive smile on her face. Bonnie had managed to keep him alive and with her. She had wanted to thank Bonnie, for everything she had done but once she'd found Jeremy and almost hugged the life out of him he told her Bonnie was exhausted and had gone home and he wanted to spend the night with her. Guess they are still into each other which is sweet.

Despite wanting to stay with Jeremy and spend time thanking Bonnie she also couldn't wait to get to Damon. After confessing how she was feeling to him they hadn't been able to spend time together. But now all they had was time together.

Time where they didn't have to hide or deny the feelings they had for one another. Time where they could finally find out what they could create between the two of them.

Almost skipping with glee Elena made her way further into the house searching for her love, Damon.

She found him in one of the far reading rooms in front of a fire nursing a glass of bourbon. Of course. Feeling suddenly a little awkward Elena crossed her arms behind her back, slowing her approach towards Damon.

"Hey" she half whispered. Damon turned his head and greeted her back, "Hey. How did it go with your brother?" he asked.

The mention of her brother brought a great smile back to Elena's face. "Great actually. Bonnie was able to keep him here somehow. I don't know how and I don't care. He's alive again." Elena said quickly. 

Damon rose from his seat, leaving his glass behind on the table. He walked straight to Elena and wrapped his arms around her waist with a smile, looking at her face he said "That's great Elena. I'm happy for you."

Damon slowly lowered his lips to Elena's. Sweetly not trying his luck just yet. Wrapping her arms around Damon's neck she pulled him in more forcefully. Clearing the small doubt in Damon's mind that what had happened earlier in the night was real.

He had really got the girl this time. He got the girl at the time that it really mattered.

Elena ran her fingers through Damon's hair, sucking on his bottom lip. Never had she felt so alive just from kissing someone.

Damon however cupped her face and pulled back, looking into her eyes. "Is everything okay?" she asked unsure. Why would Damon stop considering this is what he had been wanting for years.

"Perfect" he said with complete adoration in his eyes. "Just can't believe this, this thing between us is really happening".

Elena knew Damon would only ever show this vulnerability with her which made her love him even more. She loved how different he could be with her.

Holding his hands that were either side her face she smiled, "well it is happening because I want you Damon. Forever."

She knew how much choosing Stefan in the past had hurt Damon and it wasn't going to be easy to convince him that she would never want Stefan again. Damon was insecure. Which is kinda cute but she was sure she'd get him to learn just how much she loved him and how she'd never felt this way before.

Surprising Elena Damon wrapped his arms securely around her waist lifting her off the ground and spinning her around. She'd never known him to be so happy.

"Damon stop spinning I'm going to throw up!" Laughing Damon placed her delicately on the ground.

"What's gotten into you?" Elena asked holding onto his arms for balance.

Damon smirked, placing a kiss on the side of her mouth, "I know what hasn't got into you?"

Elena smacked his arm playfully, "Damon!"

"What?" he asked innocently. "You're disgusting" Elena accused. "You love it" he said knowingly.

Picking Elena up bridal style he carried her towards his bedroom. "I think we have a lot to celebrate don't you think especially since we have this whole place to ourselves."

As much as Elena just wanted to be naked with Damon in bed she wasn't sure if she should. "Do you not think we should talk maybe wait a little bit?" she asked timidly.

At the entrance to his room Damon stopped walking and looked down at her. "We don't have to but we can talk tomorrow and the day after that and that and so on. Why don't tonight we just think about us. We have defeated Silas, got your brother back and well now there's an us..."

Elena placed her finger over Damon's lips silencing him, "well then I think we better get to bed then" Elena said seductively. She loves Damon and she knows he loves her. Why bother waiting or feeling guilty about what she really wants. That was the old Elena.

With that Damon lowered Elena and himself into the bed. It was finally their time.
