“Damon!” she said, smacking his arm. “Behave.”
He quirked an eyebrow at that, smirking. She narrowed her eyes, struggling to glare at him before breaking into a grin and turning back to Caroline, who was looking at them with a horrified expression.
Confused, Elena began to say something, but Caroline snapped out of it, smiling a warm, fake smile as she said: “Excuse me, I’m going to go kill myself.” She got up from the bench, and almost ran away.
Jeremy looked at her retreating back, and then back towards Damon and Elena. “Um…” he said awkwardly, getting up as well. “I’m just going to let you two do… whatever it is you do.” He fumbled with his bag, and then nodded at them before briskly walking away as well.
When he was out of sight, Damon turned Elena.
“Huh. I wonder what that was about,” he said with mock surprise.
She rolled her eyes at him. “Oh, I wonder…” she said mischevously as she slid across the bench, climbing on to his lap.
His arms went around her and he grinned. “Well, now that they’re gone, I guess we can do this,” he said before leaning in and capturing her lips in kiss. She giggled, and opened her mouth, her tongue playing lazily with his.
“What happened to lunch?” she asked as they broke apart. Putting her arms around him, she brought herself closer to him, her hands playing with his soft hair.
Nuzzling her neck he said: “Mmm, you are all the lunch I need.” And then, he licked a particularly sensitive spot on her throat that made her eyes roll back, and forget everything else.
So that’s how they spent their afternoon, making out on the park bench under the tree, on a warm sunny day in Mystic Falls.
