Lorelei had awoken to two arms being wrapped around her. She felt someone's hot breath against her neck. She could hear them breathing. She turned to see Damon, fast asleep. She smiled at his sleeping form. He was rather cute when he slept. She took in his appearance and made a mental note of it. He looked so peaceful. Then, his eyes snapped open. A smirk appeared on his face

"Enjoying the show?" He asked cockily. Lorelei rolled her eyes and went to get out of bed when Damon pulled her back down

"Excuse me?" She asked

"A couple more minutes" He said. She managed to get out of his arms

"No. Get out of my room. I need to get ready" She told him. He scoffed

"It's not like I haven't seen it all before" He said with that cocky grin

"Yeah, yeah. Now get out" Lorelei told him. He sighed and stood up. He went to leave before he turned and looked at her. She stared at him confused

"You're beautiful" He said before he left. Lorelei just kind of stood there, processing what had just happened. It was so unexpected. She didn't even know how to react. It was weird to her. Whenever Damon complimented her, it was always in lustful manner, but this.. it was different. It gave Lorelei butterflies, and she wasn't sure she liked that

Lorelei was at the Grill, drinking. She refused to go back to the Salvatore house after what had happened this morning. She didn't want to face Damon. She continued drinking when a man sat beside her

"You're a day drinker too?" He asked with a chuckle

"It's happy hour somewhere" She said. He laughed

"I will drink to that" He said as he downed a shot

"My name's Lorelei or Lori, you can call me either" She told the man

"Alaric.. or Ric.. whichever you prefer" He said

"Okay Ric" She said

"Okay Lori" He said

"I have a feeling we're gonna be great friends" She said

"I need new drinking buddies, so.." He trailed off with a smile

"So, what's your alcoholism story?" Lorelei asked

"Ooh.. starting off strong. Okay, I'm a widow. My wife was murdered.. it's a cold case" Ric said. Lorelei looked at him sadly

"Damn that sucks" She said

"No kidding. What about you? Tell me why you're an alcoholic" He said. Lorelei thought back

"God, I swear I've been drinking since I could walk. Um, but it got really bad in High School. I had this boyfriend who would constantly cheat on me but I'd never leave him. High School me was such a dumbass" She told him. He chuckled

"Hey, I was wondering if you'd be interested in chaperoning for the high school decade dance.. honestly there aren't a lot, but hey.. spiked punch" Ric told her

"You had me at spiked punch" She said causing them both to laugh

"Yeah, no I'll be there. Ooh now, I'll have to go buy an outfit" She said as she stood up

"I'll see you around, Lori" Ric said

"Bye!" She said before she left

Lorelei was getting ready for the decade dance. She was currently doing her hair. Damon walked into her bathroom

"Ooh, all dressed up. What's the occassion?" He asked. Lorelei felt butterflies in her stomach. She didn't make eye contact with him

"I've been asked to be a chaperone at the decade dance" Lorelei told him

"Wonderful, now I have an excuse to go" Damon said

"Who said I'm taking you and not someone else?" Lorelei asked him

"Well thanks to our mutual lie, you can't take someone else. We're 'engaged'" Damon said with a smirk. Lorelei rolled her eyes

"Whatever. If you're coming, hurry up" Lorelei told the man. Damon quickly left to get ready. Lorelei couldn't understand why she was so nervous around Damon. Lorelei couldn't let this continue. She slapped herself in the face really hard

"Ow, fuck" She muttered to herself as she felt the stinging sensation on her cheek. Her nervousness vanished with that. She confidently walked out of her bathroom

"Damon! Let us depart!" She yelled

"Hold your horses! I'm still getting my shirt on!" She heard Damon yell

"No!" She yelled back as she walked out of her bedroom and down the stairs. About 20 seconds later, Damon appeared. He was in a nice suit

"I'm ready to be your date" He said with a smirk before his phone began to ring. He groaned as he answered it

"I'm sorry the number you are trying to dial is currently busy and or has been disconnected. Eh eh eh eh eh" Damon said before mimicking a disconnected phone. He then hung up

"Who was that?" Lorelei asked him

"It was hero hair" Damon said. Then, Lorelei's phone began to ring. It was also Stefan. She answered her phone

"This is Lorelei speaking" She said

"A vampire tried to kill Elena" Stefan said over the phone

"Oh shit" Damon said. The two rushed to Elena's house. When they arrived they saw Stefan comforting Elena

"So for 1,000 dollars who can answer this question. How did he get in?" Damon asked

"He was invited in" Elena admitted

"He posed as a pizza delivery guy last night" Stefan said

"Shit, see. I would've done the same thing Elena. Don't feel too bad. I know you almost died and everything, but it was an honest mistake" Lorelei told

"Creative. I will give the little bloodsucker points for that. Did he say what he wanted?" Damon asked

"No, he was too busy trying to kill me" Elena explained

"And you have no idea who this is?" Stefan asked his older brother. Damon rolled his eyes

"If I did, I wouldn't have picked tonight. I'm on a date" Damon said cockily. Lorelei side-eyed him

"With who?" She asked. Damon coughed in embarrassment

"Are we not on a date?" He asked. She looked at him confused

"No, the fuck?" She asked

"Can we focus!" Stefan said seriously. Damon and Lorelei looked at Stefan awkwardly. Elena was just sitting there, traumatized after someone attempted to assassinate her. Stefan was giving Damon the stink eye

"Don't look at me like that. I told you we had company" Damon said

"You think there's more than one?" Elena asked

"Probably" Lorelei said

"We honestly don't know" Damon said

"Damon, he was invited in" Stefan said

"Then we go get him tonight" Damon said

"What about the party?" Lorelei asked as she played with her hair. She worked really hard to look as hot as she does, and it was not gonna be wasted on her niece almost getting murdered. Okay, that sounds really fucking bad. But she doesn't care

"Forget about the party" Stefan told her

"Are you up for it?" Damon asked

"What do I have to do?" Elena replied

"Let your boyfriend take you to the dance. We'll see who shows up" Damon said. Stefan shook his head, disapproving

"That's a bad idea" Stefan announced. Lorelei thought it was a great idea

"Um, wrong" She said

"Till we get him, this house isn't safe. For anyone who lives in it. It's worth a shot" Damon said

"And you got all ready. Might as well go. Don't let your hardwork go to waste" Lorelei said

"Okay, I'll do it" Elena said. Lorelei cheered

"I'm gonna bust a move yall. Watch me moon walk" Lorelei said before she began moon walking in 5 inch heels. Stefan didn't even know how that was fucking possible but it was happening

"I'm gonna be with the three of you. I'll be safe" Elena reasoned

There they were. At the sacred decade dance. Nothing would go wrong because that's what they thought. However, these four fucking idiots were horribly, horribly, horribly mistaken. Lorelei was jamming out to the music as Damon was busy spiking the punch with vodka. Stefan and Elena were dancing together like a sappy couple. Lorelei walked over to Damon before dragging him out on the floor

"Give me the vodka instead!" She yelled as she took the bottle and downed the whole thing. Damon looked offended by this

"Bitch, that was for the whole night.. and you just.. you just.." Damon looked like he was on the verge of tears

"It's okay. Let me call up my homeboy Riccy. I know his ass got some alcohol" Lorelei said as she led Damon to the alcoholic history teacher who was with Jenna

"Lori.. and.. oh.. that thing.." Ric said as he looked at Damon. Damon gave him a fake smile

"I'll have you know, that thing, is a devilishly handsome man who happens to get all the women" Damon said with a confident smirk. Lorelei and Jenna looked at eachother before they busted out laughing leaving Damon confused

"What's so funny? I didn't say anything funny" He said

"You're so egotistical, it's funny boobear" Lorelei said. Damon stared at her shocked

"Boobear? Fucking boobear?" Damon asked. Lorelei ignored him

"So.. Ric.. you got the stuff I asked for..?" Lorelei asked. Ric looked around cautiously before he pulled out a whole bottle whiskey

"You got the cash?" He asked. Lorelei looked around before she slipped him a 20 dollar bill. The two exchanged before they went their separate ways. Damon couldn't believe he just witnessed a drug deal. Damon felt eyes on him. It was creepy. An unaware and tipsy Lorelei didn't know that her bestie Ric, wanted to murder Damon in cold blood. They had some history, but as Lorelei chugged her bottle of whiskey, she felt free. The crowd started to circle around Lorelei as she danced. She was the life of the party. She even threw it back a couple times, before Damon yanked her away

"Um, hello.. we're supposed to be watching Elena" Damon said

"Stefan already stalks her and besides. I'm only one call away" She broke out into song. Damon just stared. He was currently rethinking his life choices on being Lorelei's date. That's when a slow song came on

"Ooh, dance with me. We shall be a mushy couple" Lorelei said as she wrapped her arms around Damon's neck causing him to stiffen. He mentally screamed at himself for getting so worked up over Lorelei's touch. He would refuse to admit it, but he was in fact whipped. Damon put his hands on Lorelei's waist and she rested her head on his chest as they danced slowly. Lorelei could hear Damon's heart pounding

"Are you nervous?" She asked him

"Me? Nervous? As if!" Damon denied. Lorelei smirked

"I can hear your heart beat" She said

"I'm on cocaine" He responded quickly. Lorelei rolled her eyes

"Liar" She whispered. Lorelei looked over to see Stefan and Elena making out. She made gagging noises

"You know.. that could be us" Damon said as he wiggled his eyebrows

"Oh you want to makeout?" Lorelei asked him

"I'm not saying no" He said with a smirk. Lorelei playfully rolled her eyes before she pulled his head down and put her lips on his. He instantly kissed back only to be pushed away by the one and only Ric

"Come on guys.. us chaperones are supposed to stop the teenagers from doing this shit" Ric said clearly annoyed. Damon growled at him

"Take that stick out of your ass and fuck off" He said

"Damon. Don't talk to Riccy like that" Lorelei said upset

"No, fuck Riccy!" Damon said. Lorelei had tears in her eyes

"Damon.. I think we need to call off our engagement. We're just not working" Lorelei said dramatically

"We're not even really engaged" Damon said

"I'm ending our fake engagement" Lorelei said before she ran off pretending to be heartbroken. Damon glared at Ric

"This is your fault! I just got fake broken up with, you bitch. This is why I turned your fucking wife" Damon spat put before he ran off

A/N: Guys its so sad. They fake broke up😔
