I found out that Damon was here with an invitation, do you guys remember Jessica? Stefan had hallucinations of her on his death bed, telling me she was no one. He lied Jessica is the woman he married, she was a werewolf therefore in the other world they couldn't be together, but in this world there was no enimity between the two species so in this world they got married, and he turned her, and now, just like every year apparently, I was invited to their wedding anniversary, Damon had bought the wedding invitation but when he had found that I was asleep he had decided to wait until I awoke, both Natasha and Nathan had offered to give me the invitation but Damon insisted he wanted to wait, he had spent most of the nine days by my side, only leaving to feed, I knew now that he loved me and I wanted a relationship with him but I didn't know how to initiate it, although I didn't want to waste anymore time without him I wanted to play this right, it had been a long time since I had, had a boyfriend, if I didn't count Stefan it had been nearly two thousand years I hissed at the thought and groaned, I hadn't thought about it for so long, I had only met Damon and Stefan a hundred years ago, after a witch friend of theres bought them back from the dead, because she had needed their help, they had left mystic falls after helping her and had never returned, they lived somewhere in Greenville, they owned a small house there, they had gotten regular visits from their witch friend until she died. They still lived in Greenville, and that is where the party would take place, I was looking forward to that, note the sarcasm, I had, apparently, been going to their home every year, so I knew exactly where it was. Oh dear, to say the least.
"Jessica also mentioned that you will be staying a week this time as opposed to two days" I furrowed my eyebrows
"Why?" I asked to which Damon shrugged
"You're supposed to know, she mentioned it last year, you guys had a long discussion about it" he smirked at my confusion, I smacked him on his shoulder but I was laughing on the inside, I would be able to read her mind when I saw her, I could control my power better now. I found that the party would start in about an hour and so after goodbyes we left.
I had been to Greenville before, I didn't know where the Salvatore house was so I blinked to the outskirts of the town, Damon and I held hands and even when we got there I didn't let go, he didn't try to let go either so I held on, without a word we started to walk, hopefully towards the Salvatore house. Damon and I walked hand in hand for about ten minutes, we saw many people but I paid them no attention as I smiled happily.
We came to a simple cottage like detached house, it had a big garden, the garden had tables lined on the sides with food on them there were two barbecues to one side as well, we entered the garden through a white fence, and in no time a woman ran towards us
"You came?" She shrieked happily, as she embraced me, I looked towards Damon to find out who this beautiful brown haired woman was but to my disappointment he just stood there laughing at my confusion so I read this woman's mind, "I'm glad she's here" she was thinking, I had to dig deeper, I saw an image of Stefan with her in bed, doing what married couples do, I knew this was Jessica, she finally let go of me, still holding on to me she started to drag me towards the house "come on" she told me
"Coming Jessica, hold on slow down" I told her looking towards Damon and smirking at him as he was trying to figure out how I knew who this woman was, she ran into the house and we nearly ran into Stefan
"Hi there" he greeted me with a hug I hugged him back, it was like hugging someone I hadn't seen in years, and I hadn't spoken to Stefan in years, of course in this reality we spoke all the time, so i had to be really careful,we went outside and mingled with the werewolves, vampires and witches.
The party went on for hours and I met everyone, most of these people I had known for years so I had to, again, be careful with what I said, and what I asked, it was hard, once or twice I did say the wrong thing but people just laughed it off like I was just joking, I played it off too.
"How about a tour mister?" I asked Damon when I found him standing alone near a table with blood, he had a glass of blood in his hand, he smiled and led the way into the house
"Hey where are guys going?" Jessica asked when she saw us
"Oh Damon is going to give me a tour of your house" I blurted out before I could stop myself Damon coughed to shut me up but it was too late
"Ok, you give her tour" she winked at Damon, Damon blushed a little, got hold of my hand and guided me away.
He dragged me along, like he was annoyed at me, which I could tell, he was.
I saw the whole house then we went to Damon's bedroom, it was the last room we went to see, there was a bed on the right as we entered and a wardrobe next to it, there was a window straight ahead, and a door on the left, I guessed it was the bathroom. I stepped in and walked to the window I heard the door close behind me but I paid no attention, the window was open and I felt a light breeze as I looked outside, I could see the town from here, I felt Damon standing next to me,
"Its so quiet, so peaceful" I closed my eyes and almost whispered, Damon was touching my hand and I decided to see what he was thinking
"God, I want to kiss her" he was thinking, I reluctantly turned away from the window to face him, I looked deep into his blue eyes, I could see clearly that he was in love with me, but at the same time I realized that this was how he always looked at me, I nearly slapped myself, how could I not have realised sooner, I moved my face towards his, standing on my tiptoes, he moved forward too, this was it, I was going to kiss him, finally after so long.
