The sun rose and shone through the curtains. Damon opened his eyes and looked at Elena’s crown. He looked up and saw the planks still lying on the ground. He recalled the last night. At a certain moment Elena’s 침대 had collapsed and Damon didn’t have the 심장 to send her to another room and so he let her sleep with him.
“I think you’re starting to recover” Elena had softly said. She had crawled up against him and fallen asleep.
Damon stroke her hair and she woke up. She looked up and gave him a soft kiss. “Hi” she smiled. “Good morning”
“Good morning to 당신 too” Damon replied with a 키스 back. He placed his hands on her waist and lifted her from the bed. Elena shrieked when Damon threw her in his arms and carried her out of the room. When they were at the stairs Elena said: “I have feet, 당신 know. I can walk myself”
“Okay” Damon said and he let go of her. Elena screamed, but before she hit the stairs Damon caught her and put her on her feet.
“That was not funny, Damon” Elena said grumpy.
“Are 당신 kidding me? That was hilarious!” a voice said from downstairs.
Damon frowned. “What are 당신 still doing here?”
“You told me to stay, remember?” Derek said.
“No, I didn’t” Damon said as he and Elena went downstairs.
“Yes, 당신 did” Derek said accenting his words. “You said ‘Stay here’ and then 당신 went away to see what that noise was”
Damon stared at him, a little muddled. “Okay, well, now 당신 can go”
“I know you” Elena got in between.
“And I know you, gorgeous” Derek said with a smirk. He checked her out from head to toe. Damon noticed his stare and he placed himself between Derek and Elena.
Elena put her hand on his shoulder. “It’s okay, Damon. He won’t do anything”
“Wait” Derek said with a frown. “You two…?” he said looking from Damon to Elena and back. Elena stepped in front of Damon and shot Derek a provocative glance.
“Oh my God” Derek said and his lusting expression went straight to shock. He couched and walked to Elena. He stuck out his hand. “My name is Derek Janders. I’m a vampire. I’m also the idiot 당신 met in that hamburger place”
Elena nodded, but didn’t accept his hand. “Yeah, I remember. 당신 tried to force yourself on me. Is that some kind of local hobby?” she said sarcastic and Damon looked down.
“I’m really sorry about that” Derek said sincere. “You were looking really hot. Now 당신 do too, but since you’re Damon’s girlfriend I will keep my hands to myself”
“Why does it matter I’m Damon’s girlfriend 더 많이 than I was Stefan’s?” Elena asked frowning.
“Because Damon is so much cooler” Derek said obviously. He almost added ‘Duh’ to it.
“And why are 당신 here exactly?” Elena continued her interrogation.
“Damon hasn’t filled 당신 in?” Derek asked, looking at Damon.
“No, he hasn’t” Elena said a little reproaching and turning to Damon.
“Hey, don’t look at me” Damon said raising his hands. “You were fixing the 침대 in which 당신 failed miserably”
“Oh, yeah, rub it in, why not” Elena said sarcastic.
“You totally did that on purpose” Damon said.
“Got any prove?” Elena said smug.
“Okayyy” Derek said trying to get the two lovebirds pay attention. “I’m here, because something is coming. Something really bad”
“Some chick wants to expose and kill all super naturals” Damon cut off Derek’s cryptic talking. “You have nothing to worry about”
“Yes, I do!” Elena exclaimed. “I don’t want 당신 to get hurt 또는 any of my 프렌즈 that’s not human”
“I meant for yourself” Damon clearified.
“Yes, I do” Elena repeated softly. “Damon, I’m the doppelganger. Isn’t that supposed to be something supernatural?”
“She’s right, Damon” Derek said 더 많이 serious than ever.
“You have nothing to worry about” Damon said soft, looking at Elena. “I won’t let anyone lay a finger on you”
