Chapter 8 - Bachelor # Five

Opal POV

My morning started off swimmingly, my sexy husband woke me up in a very fun way and I will never complain about it. The shower after was relaxing and my whole body finally felt relaxed and I felt safe for the first time in 145 years. After getting dressed for the day in one of the new dresses we bought yesterday Damon took me out on the town. We walked into a place called the grill I sat down in a booth to wait while Damon went to the bar to get a drink for himself. It's a good thing he's a vampire or I would be severely worried about his alcohol intake.

He came back to where I was sitting with a woman following behind him. He sat next to me and motioned for her to sit across from us and said, "Opal I would like you to meet Sheriff Elizabeth Forbs, Liz is would like you to meet my wife Opal Salvatore." Liz looked surprised but then said, "Its nice to meet you, I had no idea Damon was married. Now I feel silly asking him to be apart of our bachelor auction." Damon chuckled and I smiled and said, "What did you need him to do?" Liz smiled awkwardly and said, "I was hoping to get him to help me out so that Carol isn't so insufferable at the next council meeting. I need to get a bachelor for the charity auction or she will never let me hear the end of it." I smiled at her before I said, "Well I could loan him to you for an evening, I am always willing to help out a good cause. It's not like I won't be able to buy some of his time anyways he will just have to deal with me spending his money to keep him for myself." Liz chuckled at that and said, "I think I'm going to like you Opal." Damon gave me a look before he kissed my forehead and sighed while shaking his head from side to side. Liz thanked me before she had to leave to finish her shift right as the server came up with our food because Damon of course ordered it for us while he was at the bar getting his drink. I looked at what Damon had ordered for me and nodded in approval, it looked delicious and my stomach growled at the sight of it. This of course made Damon laugh while he handed me a set of silverware so that I could start eating. 

We finished eating and were about to leave so that we could get Damon a new suit, I want him looking dapper when I spend his money on him. Damon just rolled his eyes when he saw the gleam of mischief that danced through my own eyes as I looked him up and down. Just as we made it to the door I almost ran into none other than Elena and another girl who was pretty, she was tall and had short blond hair, blue eyes and a bright smile that faded slightly as she looked at mine and Damon's joined hands. Damon grimaced and Elena smiled but her smile seemed to have a wicked edge to it. The blonds smiled looked forced as she looked at me and said, "Who are you?" I was taken aback by the edge in her tone but smiled as Damon tightened his grip on my hand before I said, "Hello, I'm Opal Salvatore, Damon's wife." She looked shocked and a little hurt, I will have to ask Damon about that later. She forced another smile and said, "I'm Caroline Forbes, why didn't he tell anyone he was married?" I chuckled and said, "My husband and I are private people so I assume he never told you because he knew you all would find out about me eventually when I got to town." 

Her smile faltered before she said, "I just thought he was single that's all, it was nice meeting you." She turned to Elena and continued, "I'm gonna go sit by the pool tables find me when your done." Elena just nodded at her but scowled at Damon as soon as Caroline left. She then looked at Damon and said, "Haven't you done enough damage to Caroline already? Can't you just leave us all alone and go away?" Damon just shrugged and led me out of the diner while pushing past Elena not even bothering to say a word to the girl. After we made it to the car and the engine was running I turned to face him and said, "So, what was that about Damon?" He sighed and said, "Don't forget that I thought you were dead when I got here." I felt my stomach drop at his words but stayed quiet as I just watched his face while he continued, "I never slept with anyone but you let me say that first, but I have fed from and maybe have compelled them to think that I had slept with them so the marks would go unnoticed." The relief that flooded through my veins when he said he hasn't slept with anyone aside from me left me almost euphoric so I gripped his hand forcing him to look at me as I kissed him full force. We pulled away so he could finish his explanation, "When I first got here I may have compelled her to be my walking blood bag and made her think we were sleeping together and dating so she wouldn't question my bite marks on her body. I was so intent on messing with Stephan that I didn't think about what I was doing, not to mention I had my emotions off at the time so I honestly didn't care about what I was doing." He looked almost like he was waiting for me to chastise him. I sighed and said, "I'm not mad at you love we are vampires. We need to feed I can't blame you for that. I won't judge you on how you choose to feed just like I know you wont judge me for wanting to only feed from blood bags. I also know why your emotions were off you told me remember so I can't and wont blame you for it. But you should apologize to that girl if you get the chance I know the guilt is eating at you." Damon simply smiled at me and kissed my forehead.
