Love Bites

Remember Me.

I was going through my closet, looking for something good to wear. Damon wanted me to come over, I didn't know what we were doing or how I was supposed to be dressed.

"Whoa! It's like a hurricane hit this room!" Elena said as she tried to avoid stepping on my mess. "Whats up?"

"I'm wanted at Damon's and I don't know what to wear"

"Oh I see." She immediately started going through my clothes along with me. "Is it a date?" She asked in a sing-song voice

"No." I have got to stop blushing. Even if it was a date, I can't be embarrassed, he is my boyfriend. "I don't know really, he just said to come over."

"Hm. You better look real cute, just in case."

That's exactly what I was thinking. After I finally picked out a cute, but casual outfit, I got dressed. I left my hair down and just tossed It around a little, putting hairspray in it. I was pretty light on the makeup, aside from the concealer that was hiding my fading bruises.

I looked at my body in the full length mirror, looking for any exposed skin that had bruises and I covered those up as well.

"So.." I twirled around. "How do I look?"

"Hot! Damon's not gonna be able to keep his hands off of you."

I gave her a light smile before heading out the door. nobody was home so that meant Stefan was coming over. How else did I know? He was walking up my driveway as I was leaving.

"Hey Stefan." I said

"Hey Savannah. Damon told me to get lost, I finally feel like one of those kid brothers"

"Haha, how nice for you. Do you know what he's doing?"

"Nope, he wouldn't tell me." I nodded as we started to pass each other, "Have fun."

I hopped in my car and drove the short ride to Damon's house. I wasn't sure if I should just knock or go inside, so I knocked. Damon answered the door, he was dressed semi-casually, dark jeans with a black button down shirt. I took note that Damon and Stefan only dressed in dark colors and the occasional gray or white.

"Hey." Damon greeted me warmly

"Hey, Damon." I smiled as he guided me inside and kissed my forehead.

"Are you hungry? I made your favorite."

"You cooked for me?" I was pretty surprised. Then I noticed the kitchen towel draped over his shoulder looks like he's been busy. "Have you done this before?"

"Nope, tonight will be the first time." Damon ushered me along into the dining room where the foot was set up at the table. Everything looked so nice, it looks like he worked really hard. And he did make my favorite, Chicken Alfredo.

"I guess it pays to have an Italian boyfriend." I kissed his cheek, "Thank you."

Damon smirked and kissed me before showing me to my seat. I noticed there was food for him as well, I mean obviously, of course. But vampires can eat? apparently if he's going to be eating also.

After dinner, I was really impressed of how good of a cook Damon was. Dare I even say he was almost better than me.

"Thanks Da-"

"There's more." He cut me off

"Oh is there?"

Damon nodded and got out of his seat, helping me out of mine as well. He led me upstairs and we were in his bedroom. Uhh...sex? But I just ate :/

"Okay. What are we doing in here?" I asked as I examined the place. Last time I was in here, I was looking for the fastest way out. I looked around the room and noticed a lot of my stuff was here. "What do I, live here or something?" I laughed

"From time to time" Damon laughed also. "You wanna dance?" He was flirting with his eyes

"But there's no music playing." Within a blink of an eye, a song started playing. Damon must of used his super speed to quickly turn it on

"Now there is." He held his and out and I took it. "Think really hard, okay?"

I nodded my head as we got closer to each other. The song must of had some significance, it was Taylor Swift's 'Hey Stephen' and it happened to be one of my favorites.

(Of all the girls
Tossing rocks at your window
I'll be the one waiting there
Even when it's cold
Hey Stephen
Boy you might have me believing
I don't always have to be alone)

"Damon Salvatore dances? Surprising."

"Oh, he only does for his girlfriend." Damon said as he spun me around

(Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic
I been feelin' since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm I can help myself)

"What else does Damon Salvatore only do for his girlfriend?" I smirked at him as he held me close

Damon brought his mouth to my ear, "He listens to cheesy Taylor Swift songs"

(Hey Stephen
I been holdin back this feelin'
So I got some things to say to you, ha
I've seen it all so I thought that I'd
Never see nobody shine the way you do

The way you walk
Way you talk
Way you say my name
It's beautiful, wonderful
Don't you ever change)

"You're really sweet, you know that? Now I can see why it was so easy to fall for you."

"Is that so?" Damon asked

"Mhm."

"Ive never told you this, but I don't understand how you could love me after everything I've done."

I smiled at him, "Maybe I'll be able to answer that when I get my memory back."

(Hey Stephen
Why are people always leavin
I think you and I should stay the same

Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic
I been feelin' since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm I can't help myself)

"What would you do if my memory never name back? And I was under Katherine's compulsion forever?"

"I'd never give up." Damon said, "No matter how long it took."

"Really?"

"Mhm. Or you'd just have to fall in love with me all over again." He showed a cocky smirk

"I think I already have."

(The dim in the street lights
You're perfect for me
Why aren't you here tonight?
Waiting alone now
So come on and come out
And pull me near

And shine, shine, shine)

Then it came back to me. Me and Damon were driving in his car on our way to Atlanta....

------------------------------------

Lord help me." Damon says

"Too bad, I'm not turning it off."

"Then I will" He goes to touch the radio

"Do it and I'll bite you."

"Oh, I'll bite you back." He grins at me

The look on his face distracts me and the song is soon off. I keep true to my word and I bite his arm, of course it doesn't hurt him. He laughs and leans over, close to my neck.

"Damon! Don't you dare!" I warn "And watch the road!"

Instead of biting me, he kisses my neck softly and then goes back to driving. I turn my song back on and lean against Damon, wrapping my arms around his one arm. "Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel, can't help that if I wanna kiss you in the rain so. Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I've met you, can't help it if there's no one else" I sing along

All of a sudden Damon kisses the top of my head. I smile and wrap my arms around him tighter.

-----------------------------------------

I smiled because I remembered it fully, I knew this was what he wanted me to remember. I reached up and kissed Damon, he was caught off guard but he went with it anyway.

Damon's arms wrapped around my waist and mine around his neck. I was standing on my tip toes so Damon lifted me up and moved us over to the bed. I resisted the sudden urge to pull him on top of me and pushed him away instead; tears filled my eyes, but they weren't tears of sadness, they were tears of joy. Damon smiled at me before cupping my face getting my full attention.

"Savannah, you have to remember me." His eyes grew wide and his pupils started moving. "Vampires are real. You will remember everything you know about them"

"I will remember everything I know about them." I repeated his words

"You will remember me. Remember I'm your boyfriend. Remember every single thing that we've been through." He broke the eye contact and I shook my head a few times. I felt a little weird then I realized where I was and who I was with.

"Damon!" I yelled as loud as possible even though he was an inch away from my face, I threw my arms around his neck and didn't let go

"Savannah?" Damon whispered in my ear. "You remember me?"

"Now how could anybody ever forget you?"
