Gilbert Twins (A TVD Fan Fiction Novel)

Chapter Twenty Six:

As Damon and I returned home to the Boarding House, we were greeted by our friends and family. As soon as the gang saw my wounds slowly healing they gasped in horror. Elena, Caroline, Bonnie, and Matty came towards us as Damon put me down gently onto my feet. They all came in for a group hug, but as soon as I winced in pain from the now healing cuts and opened wounds, they moved back as quick as they came towards me.

"Alright, I think that that's enough excitement for one night. Elli needs her rest so she can fully heal." Damon said as he ushered my friends out the door.

"We'll come by tomorrow to check up on you, okay?" Caroline asks as she points towards Elena and Bonnie. I nod my head in acceptance.

"I'd come over tomorrow too, if I didn't have to work." Matt says.

"It's okay Matty, and thanks guys for all of your support, but I'm not five and besides I have Damon. So go and have fun. Don't worry about me, I'm safe and sound now. I love you guys." I say the last part as a yawn escapes my lips.

As Damon closed the door after my friends made their exit, he smirks at me and says "I think you need a bubble bath. I'll go and get it ready for you." As he went to leave I grabbed his wrist and pulled him back into a passionate kiss. As he kissed me back he began to deepen the kiss, until his hand went down along my arm and touched the deep cut above my elbow. I winced in pain and he quickly pulled back.

"Maybe you should get a couple of blood bags while I get the bubble bath ready, okay?" I nod my head in response towards his question, but before we went our separate ways, I quickly kiss him on the lips and then make my way towards the basement to get a few blood bags to regain my strength.

***

After drinking down about four or five blood bags, I made my way upstairs and towards Damon's room. But I couldn't help but step into Stefan's bedroom doorway and notice that he wasn't home. I wander where he is and what unlucky soul he's draining the life out of right now. Well, at least the squirrels and bunnies get a break.

I make my way into Damon's room and I could smell the scent of Lilacs and Roses. I walk into the bathroom and see Damon sitting in the tub with two glasses of champagne in each hand. As I look around the bathroom I see red and purple candles everywhere, I can also hear in the background Marvin Gay's "Let's get it on" playing.

"What are you doing and nice song choice by the way. I thought that the bubble bath was for me?" I ask him as he's smiling from ear-to-ear.

"What? I can't join my girl in a bubble bath? Besides I thought it would be romantic. You know, just you and me, taking time to enjoy ourselves before some other problem comes along to bite us in the ass. Now get your beautiful ass in this tub." he smirks his sexy smirk and winks at me.

As I strip I say "Yes, Mr. Grey." and smile as I step into the tub. I lean back against him as I hear him mutter "That's Mr. Salvatore to you, babe." I snicker at his comment while I lean a little more into him and he hands me my glass of champagne.

He kissed me in the crease of my neck and then he spoils the moment when he asks "Why did that bitch want to kill you?" he was talking about Fiona of course.

"You know that you just ruined a perfect moment by talking about that, right?"

"Yes but I just want to know what happened."

"She thought that I was responsible for her lovers death."

"She thought that you killed him?" he asked and I gave him a nod. "Why would she think that?"

"Because she walked in on him and I kissing, but he forcibly kissed me to make it look as though we were in a romantic lip-lock. I tried to explain to her my side of the story but it was to late, he had told her lies and of course she believed him over me. She called me a whore and told me never to come back to see her again, she said our friendship was done for. I didn't even know she was dead until she showed up here to kill me, for what her sister, Felicity, had done. If it weren't for Felicity I would have been a goner."

"Yeah, well.... thank god for that." Damon said with a sigh and then he entwined his fingers with mine. "I'm just glad that we have a peaceful moment to ourselves without any interruptions."

"Speaking of interruptions, where is Stefan?" I asked out of curiosity.

"You know, I have know clue, but I'm glad he isn't here to ruin the moment." Damon said with that amazingly sexy smirk on his face, but apart of me is worried about Stefan even though I shouldn't be.

I should be thinking of school, keeping my sister out of Klaus' reach, and Damon whether or not if he does actually love me or if he in fact has feelings for Elena. Oh, and don't forget Klaus' dimwitted hybrid guard dogs that he is creating with my sisters blood. I have no clue what he wants with me, but I will not have any part in it.

"What's wrong, you haven't said a word in over a minute. What's on your mind."

"Do you really want to know?" Apart of me was hoping that he didn't but then another part knew that he would.

"Yes. So, what's wrong?"

"I was just thinking about that night... when you brought me here the night Klaus snapped my neck at the hospital parking lot."

"Why were you even thinking about that?"

"Because of something Stefan said that night that has had me thinking about it ever since."

"Which is?"

"He said that Klaus told him to keep watch on Elena and I. But why me. Why would Klaus have Stefan keep watch on me unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless he has something planned or wants something from me."

"Of course he wants something, it's just the matter of when he'll come and get it." As soon as I heard the all too familiar british accent, I didn't even need to glance towards the bathroom doorway to see who it was, because I already knew it was Rebekah. "Sorry I couldn't help but overhear your little conversation. Oh, I'm sorry am I intruding?"

"Yes you are now get out!" Damon yelled at her but she didn't budge.

"I'm going don't get too excited, Damon. Oh by the way, have either of you seen Stefan? I've been looking for him all day with no luck?"

"No we haven't now go!" I said becoming impatient with her.

"I'm going, don't get your knickers in a bunch." Rebekah said as she left us in peace.

"Well that ruined the romantic bubble bath getaway." Damon said and all I could do was nod my head. "You're being silent again. What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just tired I guess."

"Well then I suppose it's time for bed then." He said with a wiggle of his eyebrows in a sexual sort of way.

"Damon I am too tired for that." I said as I dried off but he grabbed me by the waist and sped off towards the bed.

I have to say that tonight was one of the best nights that I have had in a long time.

(A/N)

I know that it has been a long time since my last post but... I have been mourning the death of my rescue dog Ruffles who had passed away a couple of months ago. And then after he died I had 3 miscarriages, I was at the point where I just wanted to quit writing all together, but you guys kept on voting and waiting for the next chapter.

So I'm now out of my little hide-away-from-the-world-phase and I'm back. This chapter I wanted to do something different and not go along with the episode like I would normally do.

So this chapter was basically Damon and Eliana's romantic 'getaway' for them to just be together and not worry about the world outside of the Boarding house, that is until Rebekah showed up to ruin their bubble bath time.

Of course Elli, being the worried friend that she is, she was worried about Stefan and hoping that he wasn't draining the townsfolk. But I hope that you enjoy this chapter and I will try to post the next on by this coming week.

Happy reading and don't forget to vote if you liked this chapter.

Love Ya,

April Love aka DamonsLoveSlave
