A Miracle Unexpected

Chapter 38 - The last one

Damon's P.O.V.

Elena loved me. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face as I heard her say those words over and over. I leaned down and pressed my lips against hers gently, kissing her slowly but passionately. When I pulled away, I smirked slightly when I saw that I had left her breathless. "It's about time you said those words," I chuckled.

She laughed a little as she looked up at me. "I'm sorry I took so long," Elena gave me a small smile as she apologized.

"You should be sorry," I smirked.

She pushed me a little and I fell to the bed dramatically. As I did I exclaimed in a whisper, "You pushed me! Why are you so mean to me?"

"Oh don't be so dramatic."

I sat up and pulled her down on top of me. I looked up at her with a pout. "I'm hurt. You made me wait so long to hear you say 'I love you' then when you finally say it, you just push me to the bed. What makes you think you could treat me like this?"

She held a hand over her mouth as she started to laugh. I smiled as she laughed and sat up to pull her hand away, then I kissed her softly.

When I pulled away we were both smiling. I picked her up and moved her up on the bed. I leaned against the headboard as she sat in between my legs, resting against my chest. She took my hands in hers and laced our fingers together as I pressed a kiss to her head.

"What do you think everyone's going to say?" she asked in a soft voice.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm talking about when they find out about us. What do you think they'll say?"

"Well some girls may cry for the rest of their life knowing that I'm finally spoken for," I grinned.

"Damon..."

"Then there's Judgey the teenage witch who may try and kill me. Oh and Stefan may take out his frustration on a bunny..."

"Damon!" Elena said as she elbowed me in the stomach.

I chuckled and squeezed her hands. "I'm sure they will be happy. They've been waiting for this for months. You just were too stubborn to realize it," I whispered in her ear.

"I know," she whispered. "But it's all okay now. Right?" Elena turned her head to look at me after.

"Right," I smiled at her. I leaned down to kiss her again and I whispered against her lips, "I'm going to take you out on a proper date. You know that, right?"

"Damon you don't have to," she shook her head.

"I don't. I could not take you anywhere, but I want to. We'll go out to dinner," I grinned at her.

"It'd make no sense to argue with you," Elena sighed.

I smirked and poked her nose as I said, "You know me so well."

She grinned and moved to kiss me. As she turned to face me, she yawned loudly. I chuckled and moved over to tuck her in.

"What are you doing?" Elena asked me in a tired voice.

"Tucking your sleepy ass in," I chuckled.

"No," Elena whined. "I need to go to the store."

"The store?" I gave her a weird look. "Elena it's one in the morning."

"I know but I need wipes for Lily and I just remembered that I don't have anymore," she said as she rubbed her face.

"Go to sleep and I'll go to the store. The pharmacy is open twenty four hours," I said as I stood up.
