Not Your Friend (open)

[Damon Salvatore]

I get the phone out of my pocket and look at the collar ID. Stefan, oh come on. I pick up. What? I know Caroline can hear our conversation. Stefan's practically yelling. Where are you? I roll my eyes. Out. Stop playing protective brother, that's my job, baby bro. I can practically hear him roll his eyes. Damon, where's Elena? I smirk. How the hell should I know? I hear him sigh. Damon. I sigh; of course I know. At her boyfriend's. If you don't know who that is, that's too bad. I won't betray her trust. I wait for his answer. Fine, Damon where are you? I sigh and wrap an arm around Caroline's shoulders. Out with my girlfriend. I say simply. What, did you become so desperate as to compel yourself a date? I roll my eyes. Nope, I'm with Caroline. I hang up and lean back on the windshield.

[Caroline Forbes]

I lay back with him as I look up at the sky as it was becoming night time slowly once more at that moment. I could easily hear their conversation the whole time and I found myself sighing and rolling my eyes at Stefan. Stefan is still in love with Elena even after all he did to her. My head rested onto his shoulder as I was thinking about what he called me. Not Barbie. Not Caroline. He called me his girlfriend. Did he mean it?

[Damon Salvatore]

I look up at the stars and glance over at Caroline. I meant what I said. I speak seriously. I'm committed. I smirk. I don't hang up on my brother for just anyone. I look at my watch. Midnight. I look at her. I should probably get you home. Since your mom's been gone she set an alarm at the house. It goes off if you're not inside by one in the morning. Stefan's out of town too. I look at her. You know, it would be very rude of me to make you stay in your house alone. My house has many, many beds, and I happen to have the biggest. I raise an eyebrow. My eyes hold a slightly serious glint that tell her I'm not asking her to sleep with me.

[Caroline Forbes]

I sat up slowly from the windshield as I then looked down at Damon as It hen smiled and nodded my head a bit at him once more as I then say, "I will love to spend the night with you Damon." He knew that I hated to be alone and I knew he was not going to push sex onto me like he had done way before. Then I thought about something. If he meant what he said, then did that mean that was his way of asking me out? I truly did not know. This man was hard to read sometimes. Hopefully that will change with us.

[Damon Salvatore]

I toss the sandwiches into the bushes to feed the animals and get back in the car with Caroline. We drive to my place and I get out of the car, blurring to the other side and opening the passenger door for Caroline before walking to the front door and opening it. I step aside to let her in first. The fire still burns in the hearth the way I left it; other than that the place is empty. It always is.

[Caroline Forbes]

I walked into the boarding house as I smiled and looked around the house. This was the first time I could actually look at the house without having something being wrong with whoever or whatever. This was the first time I could actually be relaxed inside of the boarding house. Slowly I took off my jacket as it was already warm in the house from the fire that was brightly lit. Then I turned around and looked back at Damon with my blue eyes. We had not said a word since the kiss and everything.

[Damon Salvatore]

I take her jacket from her and hang it on the wall, along with my own leather jacket. I walk towards her and stand over her. I put one hand in my front jeans pocket and look down at her. I raise an eyebrow. I shake my head softly and lead us up to my bedroom. I'm going to wash up. You're welcome to do the same. The bathroom's unnecessarily huge. I pull my shirt and jeans off, leaving me in my underwear. I walk into the bathroom and splash water on my face before walking back to my bed and climbing on. I watch as Caroline walks into the bathroom herself. I'm curious as to what she'll sleep in.

[Caroline Forbes]

I was in the bathroom as I then washed up and got ready for bed. then I got stripped down into my bra and underwear as I then walked out and looked at Damon. He has already seen me naked before, so this was no big deal. Besides, a bra and underwear were just like a bikini top and bottom. "Do you have a shirt I could please borrow Damon?" I asked him as I stood at the foot of the bed once more at that moment right then and there. My blue eyes looked at his blue eyes as I then crossed my arms a bit once more at that moment as It hen gave him a kind and gentle smile once more at that moment. His words were still playing in my mind as was that passionate kiss.

[Damon Salvatore]

I raise an eyebrow and smirk. I cross my arms behind my head. A shirt seems unnecessary, but left top drawer. I say and nod my head at my dresser.

[Caroline Forbes]

Rolling my eyes, I laughed a bit at Damon as I then walked up to the dressed and reached into the top left drawer as I then pulled out a black t-shirt and slipped it on. Then, I turned back around and walked over to the bed as I then got under the covers and looked over at Damon as I laid down on my side. The vampire besides me was a complete douche bag to me at first, but now he was a complete southern gentleman. This was a Damon that I could like and understand. Not douche bag Damon. A smile formed on my lips as I then looked at him still.

[Damon Salvatore]

I look over and raise an eyebrow at her lying so far away. I don't bite, not anymore anyway. I waggle my eyebrows and smirk. Times have changed. Caroline balances me out; tells me when to shut up, even if I don't listen.

[Caroline Forbes]

As he invited me to come closer to him, I did just that as I moved closer to him and rested my head onto his chest. I was rested my head on his right peck as my right hand went onto his chest as well at that moment right then and there. This felt, right almost. I laughed at his biting joke as I then shook my head a bit as I thought of when we first were"together" about how he would bite me just for some blood. This time it was going to be completely different. "Well I would hope so." I joked with him as I then rested my chin onto his chest as I then looked up at him once more.

[Damon Salvatore]

I kiss her gently and pull back. Well, I'd be a fool to deny you your hopes. I smirk and rest a hand on her back, tracing circles on her skin.

[Caroline Forbes]

I never pictured myself to be with someone like Damon Salvatore. I always pictured that him and Elena were going to be with each other for now on. Speaking of Elena, a thought ran through my mind. What was Elizabeth going to think about this? What was my mom going to think about this? I mean, I would stay with Damon no matter what the two of them said, but I wanted them to know. Elizabeth was my friend and my mom was...well my mom. "Damon, what is Elizabeth going to think about this?" I asked him as I still looked up at him.

[Damon Salvatore]

I shrug my shoulders. Elizabeth will be happy that I'm with you rather than drinking myself to death. I brush the hair from her face. Your mother loves me, so I don't really see an issue there. I say.
