Starting Over.

#3 Celebrating coming home pt. 1.

Damon’s POV. 

After dinner I went to my room, I’ve just been lying in my bed for the last hour or so.. Theo and Malia are still in the living room I can hear them talking and laughing.. 

I must admit it was more shocking to see Malia than I thought I would be.. She looks good! She’s always been beautiful but god damn the years have been kind on her.. seeing her again stirred something in me, I can’t quite put my finger on it. 

I was an asshole to her 5 years ago.. it wasn’t my decision that we moved away, but I was happy to get back to Brooklyn. I received all of her calls and text until one day I decided to get a new number.. it wasn’t fair of me. But I didn’t know how to say goodbye to her.. and I thought it would be easier for her if she could just forget about me, instead of hanging on.. that’s why I didn’t respond to her.. 

I knew there was I possibility that I would see her again especially after moving in with Theo. But honestly none of us knew if she would ever come back.. And now she’s here.. 

I better start getting ready, i’m going out with the guys tonight, and I am in need of a shower. 

After my shower I went straight back to my room to get dressed, but I wasn’t looking where I was going, so when I stepped out of the bathroom I collided with something or rather a someone.

We fell, so I was currently lying on top of Malia, our eyes locked for a moment. 

“Ahem.. maybe you should get off of me now?” She said in almost a whisper. 

“Yes.. sure.. sorry...” I said fumbling a little on my way up.. “see ya.” I added as I scurried off to my room. 

I gotta admit her body still feels good against mine, my whole body would seem to think so according to the semi hard on I have right now.. 

I just decided to wear a pair of jeans and a tee. 

“I’m going to the bar with the boys.” I said as I walked through the living room to get to the front door. 

“Ok, maybe we’ll see you there later.” Theo said his eyes not leaving the tv screen, Malia on the other hand I could feel her gaze on my, I decided to give her a little wink.. she just rolled her eyes at me, I chuckled at her responds. 

****

“So how is couples life?” I asked Matt, funny enough him and my old whatever she was Roxy was in a committed relationship, not that it bothered me at all, they are both happy and I’m happy for them.. I just like to tease him with how fantastic single life and random hook ups are. 

“Better than single life.” He said shrugging. Both Blake and I laughed at that. 

We were at our usual table at the bar that Matt actually co-owns. He’s done great for him self. Really calmed down from the trouble we used to get into and made something of him self. He’s still like a brother to me. 

It didn’t take long for a couple of girls to come to our table.

“Hi handsome, mind if we join you?” One of them said, I gave her a once over, checking her out before answering. 

“Sure darling, you can sit right here next to me.” I said it with a wink, and she giggled, sitting down. Her friend looking kind of awkward there. 

“There’s a seat for you too.” Blake said to her tapping the stool next to him. 

“Uhm no thanks, I’m heading home.” She said. “Lola, are you coming?” She added. 

But Lola looked at me once, then turned to her friend and said. 

“Go right ahead, I’m staying.. guess I’ll just have to find someone to take me home later.” Lola said winking at me at the last part. Her friend seemed irritated, but just sighed and left.

“So what are we drinking?” Lola asked batting her lashes at me.. well this one is already in the bag. 

It was about 11 pm and the bar was getting really busy, lots of people, we were still at our table, having fun, me more that the others cause Lola was still here. 

“s**t! Look at the bombshell that just walked in with Theo.. how the hell did he get a girl like that.. Damon you don’t even get girls like that!.” Blake blurted out almost drooling looking in the direction of the door. I could feel Lola getting pissed off by his comment about the girl being hotter than her. I followed Blake’s eyes to look for myself. 

It wasn’t some girl, it was Malia! I swallowed hard! My jaw almost hitting the floor. She is wearing a little black dress, a tight one, hugging all of her curves in the right way, stopping mid thigh with an open back! I felt a twitch in my jeans just by looking at her. She sure is far from the girl that always wore hoodies back in the day. 

“That’s Malia.” I said, trying to leave all emotions from my voice. 

“Malia? Mali.. wait? You mean the girl from that town you moved to a couple of years back?” Blake said.. “Well s**t, she was already hot back then, but now..” he added not finishing his sentence with words. I see Theo and her coming our way. 

“Hey guys. What’s up.” Theo said as they reached our table. “This is Malia, I think you all met about 5 years ago?” He added looking at Matt and Blake. 

“Hi, nice to see you guys, it’s been a while.” Malia said with a smile. Matt went over giving her a hug, while Blake gestured to the seat next to him for Malia to take.

“Come sit.” Blake said excitedly. Too excited for my liking. Malia took the seat next to him and she giggled, and I felt myself stiffen a bit. 

“I’ll go get us a round, what are you drinking Malia?” Matt asked. 

“I’ll take a beer, thank you.” She answered him. 

“Ahem” Lola cleared her throat clearly feeling left out, I almost forgot she was there for a second. 

“Erm this is Lola.” I said to Theo and Malia. 

“Theo.” He introduced him self giving her hand a little shake. 

“Hi, nice to meet you also.” Malia said again with that stupid beautiful genuine smile on her face.

Lola was whispering something in my ear, nibbling on my lobe. Honestly I didn’t hear a thing she was saying. I was watching Blake obviously flirting with Malia, not that she seemed bothered by it, more like she just thought he was funny. I didn’t like this at all.. I don’t know why this is bothering me so much, hell I have a girl here ready to go, so why is my attention on Malia, her beautiful smile and captivating laugh, sexy curves and legs for days, I love a woman with long legs.. I have to snap out of this..
