Elena entered the Grill and walked to a table. She was going to meet Damon there.
“Hey”
She looked up at Stefan. “Hi” she detto uncomfortable. They hadn’t really spoken since she had declared her Amore for Damon.
“Can I sit with you?” Stefan asked careful. Feeling it would be impolite to reject Elena nodded. “I’m sorry I wasn’t there last night. Caroline told me she was giving a party to celebrate te and…Damon”
“It’s okay, Stefan, it wasn’t that big of a deal” Elena said.
“I just thought it would be weird” Stefan explained. “After all that happened I’m not his number one on his lista of favorites. I’m surprised you’re still talking to me”
“Can te quit feeling sorry for yourself?” Elena said.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t…I’m sorry” Stefan said, lying his hand on Elena’s.
Damon parked his car in the neighborhood of Mystic Grill. He got out of it and gazed inside to see if Elena was there. She was…and so was his brother. He saw the closeness between the two ex-lovers and jumped into conclusions.
Elena pulled her hand away. “Don’t do that, Stefan” she detto a little irritated. She looked outside seeing Damon with a shocked expression. “Damn it, he’s seen us” She quickly got up and ran outside, hoping Damon was still there.
He was. He looked from Elena to Stefan.
“Nothing happened, Damon” Elena said.
“We were just talking” Stefan wanted to help.
“Can te please leave us alone, Stefan?” Elena detto a little mad. With a disappointed face Stefan walked back inside the Grill.
Elena walked towards Damon and took his hands. “Damon, I can’t do this. Not like this. te can’t be jealous every time te see me talking to another guy. te need to learn to trust me”
“I do trust you” Damon detto desperate. “But he’s Stefan. He’s your ex, he’s always going to mean something to you”
“That doesn’t mean I want him back” Elena said. “He tried to stop me from saving you. That moment I had a choice. I could stay with him and stay unharmed o I could fight him off and put my life and my friend’s on the line to save yours. Doesn’t that say enough?”
Damon looked down, seeming ashamed. “Sorry” he mumbled.
“You really need to work on your self-esteem. People do Amore you” Elena assured him. “I Amore you” And to mostra it she kissed him for a long time.
