The One (Damon Salvatore)

Chapter 15

Waking up, I was met with Damon's peaceful sleeping face in front of mine. I jumped slightly when Damon's blue eyes flashed open.

"Boo" Damon smirked. I huffed out, turning my back to him and sitting up. "About time you woke up. Alaric called. He wants me to meet everyone in his classroom."

"And you want me to tag along?" I questioned.

"If you would" Damon came up behind me.

"Let me get dressed" I sighed.

"Actually, on second thought why don't we stay here and you undress" Damon suggested, pulling me back onto his bed.

"Damon" I squeaked as I laid underneath him.

"You're not saying no" Damon winked. I pushed him off of me but then frowned at the loss of contact.

"I'm sure if you don't go, you'll never hear the end of it" I replied, quickly walking out of his room. I moved my hair out of my face and huffed. I could feel the blush as it crept up onto my face. Damn you Damon Salvatore.

We both walked into Alaric's classroom and Damon instantly made a joke.

"Sorry I'm late. My dog ate my uh... Never mind. What's with the furrowed brows?"

"I saw Isobel last night" Alaric informed.

"Isobel is here?" Damon asked, which Alaric nods. "In town? Did you ask her about uncle John? Are they working together?"

"No" Alaric said.

"No they're not?" I questioned, confused.

"No, I didn't ask."

"What about the invention?" Damon added.

"Didn't ask."

"Did she know about the tomb vampires?"

"I don't know."

"Did words completely escape you?" Damon asked in frustration.

"No I was a little distracted by my dead vampire wife to ask any questions" Alaric retorted.

"What did she want?" Damon asked.

"She wants to see me, Damon" Elena spoke up.

"Alaric is supposed to set up a meeting" Stefan said. "You would've known that if you weren't in bed with Danica this morning." Elena looked at me, her eyebrows raised and Alaric had the same look.

"We weren't doing anything" I defended.

"You don't have to see Isobel if you don't want to Elena" Damon ignored Stefan's comment.

"She threatened to go on a killing spree" Alaric said.

"Sounds like she's a real caring mother" I scoffed.

"I want to do it. I want to meet her. If I dont, I know I'll regret it" Elena explained.

"We should be in there" Damon said as Alaric, him and I stood outside the Mystic Grill while Elena met Isobel.

"No" Alaric said. "Isobel made it very clear we are not to step a foot inside."

"I'm not going to kill her in a crowded restaurant" Damon scoffed.

"I'd sure hope so" I replied.

"You're not killing her period" Alaric exclaimed.

"She ruined your life and you still want to protect her?" Damon asked.

"She's my wife. Was my wife. I looked for the woman I married but she wasn't there. Whoever that is, she's cold and detached" Alaric explained.

"Yeah. She's given up her humanity" Damon told him.
