Damon and Elena were in the kitchen, while Jeremy was playing some videogame and Alaric was out.
“Okay, what kind of flavor do you want? We have chocolate, vanilla, strawberry. Make your pick” Damon said, when he showed the three boxes of pudding powder. He was making dessert for after dinner.
“Ehm… strawberry” Elena said. She moved on her chair and felt something pushing against her leg. She stuck her hand in her pocket and took out her cell phone. She suspiciously looked at it. “What’s this?” she asked carefully. Damon turned his head and looked at the black, rectangle that was Elena’s phone. “That’s your phone” he said. Elena picked it up and looked at it. Suddenly music came out of it. Elena screamed and threw the phone on the table. “Oh my God, why is it doing that?” she said while making some big steps backwards. Damon lay down his spoon and walked to the table. He picked up the phone and looked at the screen. “It’s Stefan…You want to talk to him?” Elena frowned her eyebrows. “I can talk to him through that thing?” Damon nodded. “Yeah, well, you don’t have to. He can leave a message” he said. He came closer to Elena and handed out the phone. “It’s not going to bite you” he said and Elena reluctantly accepted the phone which stopped ringing. “Okay, why did it stop now?” she asked scared. “Stefan must think you don’t have your phone with you” Damon explained. “Don’t worry, he’ll leave a message”
Elena examined the phone.
“What are you doing?” Damon asked. “I’m looking for an opening” Elena said. “How can Stefan leave a letter in something this tiny?”
Damon laughed. “No, Elena, he doesn’t put a letter in it. He just says something into his phone and then it goes to your phone and you can listen to it. You understand?” he asked with the tone as if he was speaking to a two year old. Elena nodded slowly. She sniffed. “I smell something weird” she said after a while. “Shit!” Damon cursed and ran to the cooker, but it was too late. Elena walked to the cooker and put her finger in the pan. She put it in her mouth. “Hmm. So this is how burned milk tastes like” she said. She took the pan with her bare hands and let out a shriek. “Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!” while she jumped up and down and blew her hands, tears in her eyes. “Elena!” Damon said. “You ought to be careful! It’s hot” “Yeah, I know that now!” Elena exclaimed waving her hands. “Put them under the water, quick” Damon commanded and he led her to the tap which he opened. He put her hands under the tap, letting the medium hot water stream. He heard Elena sob and wiped away a tear off her face. “Feeling better?” he softly asked. Elena gave a little nod and turned around. “You’re sweet” she said with a small voice. “I like you”
Damon smirked. “You know, I don’t really feel like cooking anymore. What do you say we go out tonight? Hit some diner on the road”
“Sounds like fun” Elena willingly gave in.
