09. O Come, All Ye Faithful

Aria slowly opened her eyes after she felt someone slowly trace her features with their finger.

"Mmm, what are you doing?" Aria whispered, her voice full of sleep.

"Taking you in" Damon replied, Aria didn't say anything, she just placed her head on Damon's chest, "This would be so much more fun if we were naked".

Aria chuckled, "Can't you go one day without sex?".

"I can go one day without sex, I can't go one day without you" Damon replied, kissing the top of Aria's head.

"No more staying away" Aria replied, "When Stefan kissed me, you walked out on me, when Elena kissed you, I walked out on you, now we are even, no more walking away without talking, specially when we both know there are people out there who can't stand us together".

"Deal" Damon said.

"Good" Aria replied, "Now let me sleep a bit more".

"Aren't you and Jeremy going to the lake house today?" Damon asked.

"We are" Aria replied, "But he can wait a few minutes, I need this right now".

Damon sighed, "I need this too".

Damon and Aria closed their eyes, and stayed in the same position for a few more minutes, both taking in each other's presence to the fullest.

"Thanks for coming with us April" Aria said, as April and her watched Jeremy cut wood.

"No worries, but may I ask, why did you ask me to come?" April asked, slightly confused.

"Believe it or not, you and Jeremy have a connection, and in case he somehow turns on me, which I know won't happen, but just in case, his going to need you to be his voice of reason" Aria replied.

"I'll do anything to help" April said.

"I know" Aria said, giving April a small smile.

"By the way, where are Damon and Kol?" April asked, remembering that Aria came with them.

"Setting up the fire inside, I thought it was for the best that they observe from far" Aria replied.

"Good idea" April said.

April, Aria and Jeremy looked towards the driveway when they heard a car coming.

"Oh you got to be kidding me" Aria snapped, as her and April ran over to Jeremy, who held a axe in his hand and glared at the people who had just arrived.

"Jeremy" April warned, seeing the murderous look on his face.

"They shouldn't be here" Jeremy said, as Elena, Bonnie and Shane came out of the car.

"They weren't supposed to come" Aria said, "April stay with him", April nodded, and Aria walked over to the trio, "You three are not invited".
