The Summer of Delena

Chapter 5

I stumble through the front door of the boarding house way more tipsy that I wanted. Caroline was down about Tyler leaving for the summer to help some pack of werewolves. She feels unloved but is trying to understand his motive for leaving. I don't think I would handle it well if Damon was to leave for weeks with little communication. Crazy to think that not long ago we were not even dating and now I don't know how I would handle not being together.

Making my way through the house I walk straight into to something or rather someone. Someone is smells amazing. "Mmmm sorry I'm home late" I say as I wrap my arms around Damons waist. He must have heard me walk in the door. I snuggle into his chest as he chuckles at me, leaning down to kiss the top of my head before speaking, "you Miss Gilbert reek of alcohol. Guessing you had a fun girls night."

"It was okayyyyy although I'm thinking my night is going to get a lot better." I grin up at him knowing he will get exactly what I'm hinting at. He laughs again at me, "you know it takes a lot to get a vampire drunk but you seem to have been able to do it." He then proceeds to pick me up bridal style making my stomach turn a little, "careful with the lifting my delicate".

He kisses my forehead then begins walking towards my bedroom. "Yes which is why I think you need the night off and should go to sleep." Now that is not what I want to hear.

I kiss along his jaw, no way would he resist me. "But Damonnnn you wouldn't want to just leave me. I know you want me." I hiccup. He continues to walk into his room, where when he reaches the bed he pulls back the blankets and gently lays me down.

Simple acts like this do make me wonder about the life that Damon and I could have had if we were to be human at the same time. If we had taken the cure together rather than me having to force it down Katherine's throat. Fantasising about a human life with Damon is a dangerous game to play as I know it can never happen for us but how I wish it would. We could care for one another, grow old together and have a real family. I can see it all when I close my eyes. Maybe we will in another life time.

I haven't talked to Damon about these thoughts. I mean we have only been together for such a short while it seems silly. I guess it's because the chance was right there no so long ago but I do know that it is not something that Damon would want. However, with a little liquid courage I can barely control the words that fall out of my mouth.

"You know Damon you would make some beautiful babies" I say as I stroke his face while he's trying to tuck my securely into bed. He pauses but only briefly. "I know I would have you seen how good looking I am". He states going with the cocky humour route rather than the emotional we are dead so it can never happen talk. "Oh I do know. They would have your bright ocean blue eyes and would have that smirk on their face whenever they do something wrong which would be like all the time since they are related to you".

Damon sighs choosing to stay quiet this time. "But since we can't have that I guess I will settle for us just pretending we are trying to make a baby". Damon moves of the bed stripping to his boxers before climbing into the other side where he then lays looking up at the ceiling. I crawl over trying to kiss him but he holds my head still. "You should go to sleep Elena."

I lay my head on his chest. I know I may have said a little too much but Damon rarely takes things seriously why would he suddenly now. "I'm sorry if I said too much. You know my mind just sometimes wonders." He wraps his arms around me. "I just wish you could have everything you want one day."

"Well I have you and you are all I want so I guess you can start wishing for other things now." He chuckles kissing the top of my head again. "So can we have sex now?"

"No Elena go to sleep and I will be sure to make your morning a good exercise." I settle into him choosing not to argue since I can barely keep my eyes open. I can go back to dreaming about a life with Damon. Dead or not I am sure we will have a great life and we will always love each other and that's all we really need.
