Chapter V

"Well that was an eventful," Damon said draping himself over a chair in the study.

"Very," she agreed pouring herself a drink.

"Didn't see you getting much face time with little brother though."

"Kind of hard when he's dating the human leech," she scowled making him laugh.

"Yes she is kinda always by his side of damsel in distressing."

"And yet you want her?" She questioned raising an eyebrow.

"One does have to keep busy when he has an eternity to live," He said, blue eyes twinkling with

mirth.

"This will have to be one of those agree to disagree moments," She mumbled smiling when

they heard the front door open and Stefan appeared.

"You two sound like an old married couple," he said.

"No offense Damon, but sick," she said gagging at the mere thought of being intimate with

Damon.

  From the minute they met things had been strictly platonic. The turning could be erotic, but

there's hadn't been.

"None taken Zoe," he said laughing along with his brother.

 Things weren't as bad between them when they had a buffer. It was a purpose that Zoe had

one served often. There was a moment of comfortable silence as they all remembered the past.

"Okay this is too nostalgic for me, I'm off for the night," Damon said.

"He loves a good exit, doesn't it?" Zoe said sarcastically as she laughed.

"Damon loves anything dramatic," He said shaking his head as he laughed along with her.

" I figured you two would be painting the town red," he said as she shook her head.

"Despite his bravado I don't really think he's in the mood," She whispered downing the rest of

her drink.

"I'm glad you came Zoe, he needs you right now."

"Looks like you do too Stef, when's the last time you let your hair down?" She teased eyes

sparkling.

"Oh no, I know that look well, it always got me into trouble!" he exclaimed holding his hands up

in mock surrender.

"Into trouble? You mean into fun which you need badly."

"Maybe."

"Come on Stef be honest, when's the last time you had fun?" She said noting the silence that

fell as his green eyes darkened with sadness.

"My birthday."

"With Lexi... I'm sorry," she whispered remembering how full of life his best friend had been. They'd always gotten along well.

"Come on, let's get out of here for awhile," She said suddenly beside him holding his hands.

"Zoe... I'm with Elena now," he whispered gently making her roll her eyes.

"I know Stef, it doesn't' mean you can't have fun with an old friend," She said tugging his hand

gently as he gave her a look. They were a lot more than old friends.

"Please," She whispered batting her long lashes as she poked out her bottom lip.

"OOkay, just not that face," he mumbled grinning when her tinkling laugh rang out. He could do

with a night sans drama.

They found a club a few towns over and with a little "gentle" persuasion they had their run of

the bar. A few shots later they were both lost in their own world on the floor dancing with

each other .

"I missed this," She said knowing he could hear her despite the music.

"Dancing?"

"Sure," she said not wanting to move to fast or make him feel uncomfortable.

"Being with me and Damon?" He guessed smiling sadly as she nodded her head.

"We're together now though, at least for awhile," she said as he nodded his agreement.

Watching the girl who'd once meant everything move her hips to the music he couldn't' help

 but think about his relationship with Elena. Always having to be on his guard around her

wore him down at times, and he wasn't blind to her flirting with Damon. It left a bitter taste in

his mouth, but he'd kept his feelings to himself. He didn't want to give his brother any kind of

ammunition and girls these days did not take kindly to the overly jealous boyfriend. He wanted

to relax and not worry about history repeating itself, but with her looks and Damon's

interest he 'd be a fool not to.

"No deep thoughts Stef," she demanded bringing him back to the present as she pulled him

deeper into the mass of swaying bodies.

"Be good or I'll make you drink more, and we both know how that would end," she said as he

threw his head back and laughed. Alcohol had always made things so much more interesting for

him.

Losing himself in the joy of the moment he let his troubles fade away knowing they'd be waiting

for him soon enough.

Meanwhile in Mystic Falls

"What are you doing here?" Elena whispered moving to open the window Damon had been

tapping on.

"Just thought I'd come to check on you, a lot's happened," he said playing the sympathetic

friend as she nodded.

" I know... I just can't believe Jeremy would do something like this," she whispered moving back to let him in.

"Pain can do funny things to people Elena, but he will be okay eventually," he whispered pulling

her in for a hug.

Closing his eyes he inhaled her vanilla laden scent enjoying the warmth she provided.

" I hope you're right," She whispered pulling back as she whipped away tears .

"I figured you and Zoe would be out right now," She whispered raising an eyebrow.

"We'll have plenty of time to get into trouble later, last I saw she was catching up with little

brother."

"Ooh, so she knows Stefan too?" She whispered missing his smirk. Sometimes it was just too easy.

"Yes, we all lived together for awhile."

"Wait.. I thought you guys-"

"Always hated each other, not it wasn't always like that, after I met Zoe I had a change of heart

for awhile, she helped me see things in a different light and with her there things between me

and little brother didn't get out hand the way they do now," he said smiling as he shook his

head. Those had been fun times.

"How long was that?"

"Ooh, twenty , thirty years," he said flippantly.

"Twenty or thirty years... "

"Not that long when you're over a hundred Elena," he said as she nodded.

"Oh yeah... its easy to forget sometimes," she said as he smiled. He could practically see the

questions forming in her head.

"So she and Stef were like him and Lexi?"

"I think I'll let little brother answer that."

"That's a no," She mumbled frowning as she wrapped her arms around her waist.

" You could call him now , I'm sure he'd be more than happy to rush on over and clear things

up," he said knowing all too well his friends powers of persuasion.

"No, no it's not that important," she said sounding like she was trying to convince herself more

than himself.

"If you're sure," he said mentally smirking.

She was making this too easy.
