10. The Awkward Moment Where You're Forced To Share A Bed With A Salvatore

"STELENA!" I screamed as the couple finally enterred the room. Elena looked pretty tired whereas Stefan seemed like his normal bunny drinking self.

"Wassup brotha!" Damon sang from the bed he lay on.

"Hey guys." Stefan said. He closed the door, dumped the 2 suitcases down and then wrapped an arm around a sleepy Elena. "She's sleepwalking."

"No, I'm not." She refused. "Oh, a bed!" And then literally flung herself out of Stefan's arms and rushed over onto the bed opposite Damon's. She pulled away the blankets, snuggled in, and then closed her eyes.

"N'aaawh, she's a cutie!" I squealed.

"Yeah, a real keeper." Damon added. Stefan frowned at him and then walked over to the bed that Elena was already asleep on.

"Where is everyone sleeping then?" He asked.

"Me and Nina are sharing." Damon explained.

"Really?" Stefan asked. "I would have thought you'd wanted to share with Elena."

"She did." Damon replied. "But I didn't want to share with you. So, kaboom. You're with your girl and I'm with this little 'un."

"He called you a bunny drinking camel." I added. Stefan rolled his eyes and then wrapped both his arms around Elena. He whispered something in her ear and then kissed her forehead, then her cheek, then her shoulder.

"Please no more!" Damon moaned. "It's disgusting. Ew."

"It's cute!" I cooed. "Look at them. They're so Stelena."

"What are we then?" Damon asked. "We're either Dina or Nimon or Namon. Or Nidamon, or Damina. Or Dinina."

"I like Dinina." I said. "But we're not a couple, so no Dinina."

"So?" He questioned. "We don't need to be a couple to have a nickname. Just think of it as a partner in crime name."

"SHUT UP!"

Me and Damon both looked over to the bed and saw Elena grimacing at us furiously. It was kind of scary.

"Sorry." She whispered. "I'm cranky."

I nodded. "It's okay Kaplunk. We'll buy you the apple and then you can disect it."

"Huh?" Elena asked.

"You're dreaming." I whispered in a trance kind of way. "You're called Kaplunk. And you want to disect apples."

"I do?"

"Yes."

"Okay, night then." And then she dropped back down into Stefan's arms, who was biting back laughter at how funny Elena was when she was sleepy and crank.

"Night Stelena." Damon sang.

"Night Dinina." Stefan whispered back. Then, he closed his eyes and me and Damon where left in silence.

"So..." I said, keeping my voice a whisper so we wouldn't wake anyone up.

"So get in." Damon said casually and then threw back the blankets. Awkwardly and nervously, I slipped underneath them and watched as Damon also got under. He spread the blankets over us and though my back was turned to him, I felt his gaze on me.

"You're staring at me." I said.

"Yup."

"Are you gonna stop?"

"Nope." He replied.

"Why not?"

"Because...I want to cuddle."

I almost laughed, well I did. But it was a very nervous laugh. "Go cuddle Stelena. They look like the threesome type."

"But I want Dinina." He whined.

"Why?"

"Because Dinina's pretty."

"Only because one of them looks like Katherine." I pointed out. And then suddenly, I felt Damon's arms wrap around me. One went around my chest and the other around my waist. I was pulled tight into Damon's stomach and my head bounced off near his shoulders.

"Stop comparing yourself to Katherine." He whispered in my ear. "You're nothing like her."

I sucked in a breath. "I know. But it kinda feels like I am her at the minute?"

"Why?"

"Because I imagine that you and Katherine have cuddled like this before?"

Damon laughed, and then pulled me closer towards him if that where even possible. One of his legs wrapped around my leg and unthinkingly, I placed my hand on his knee. He didn't seem to mind though.

"Nina, this is more real that me and Katherine ever where." He said.

"Oh. I'm gonna go to sleep now." I decided.

"Okay. Good-night beautiful."

"Night Da-" I stopped mid-thought. "Did you just call me beautiful?"

He was quiet for a minute. Finally he said, "Night night Nina."

And I had no idea what to say, so I just kept quiet and closed my eyes. Throughout my struggle of getting to sleep, I felt Damon's hands circle around me. His fingertips brushed through my hair, then my cheeks, then my shoulders, then my back. It was weird but at the same time relaxing. And with his hands then brushing against my skin, I drifted to sleep.

I had a weird dream that I woke up as P-Diddy.

*                                                                     *                                                      *

"WAKE UP IN THE MORNING FEELING LIKE P-DIDDY!" Elena sang as she jumped on her bed, throwing pillows at me. That explained the dream so much. "You guys look so cute by the way." She added. And that was when I realized that Damon's arms were wrapped around me and my hand was still firm on his knee.

"Eeeek!" I screamed. I struggled to get out of Damon's grasp but he wouldn't budge. "Is he awake?"

"I'm talking pedicure on my toes, toes. Trying on all our clothes, clothes. Boys blowing up our phones, phones." Damon sang into my neck.

"Apparently." Stefan said from where he lay, his arms wrapped around Elena's legs. "What are we doing today?"

"Hitting the beach. Damon has to eat sand. We'll throw Elena into the water. And then you and Damon have to kiss." I explained. As soon as I said about the 'kissing' thing, Damon jumped up out of bed and threw his hands in the air.

"NO WAY!" He cried.

"You swore on my life that you would!" I reminded him.

"Yeah but...uh...just....SCREW YOU DININA!"

Elena laughed. "So you guys are gonna kiss?"

Stefan moved awkwardly. "Seriously Nina? You couldn't have picked anything else? You just had to go make us incest?"

"Incest is cool." I shrugged. "And besides. Damon, if it were me and Elena making out then you wouldn't be one to complain."

"Yeah, cause that would be hot!" Damon pointed out. "But me and Stefanie? No way!"

"You have to." Elena shrugged. "You swore on her life."

"Fine!" Damon snapped. "Later. After I eat the sand."

I punched the air with victory. "YES! Let's go the beach homos!"

"No breakfast?" Stefan whined.

"Eat some crabs at the beach, bunny boy." I said, frowning. "Oh god, I'm turning into Damon!" No! My life was over!

Damon winked. "It's a good feeling, isn't it?"

"Yeah whatever helps you sleep at night." I muttered. "Now let's go!"

I practically flew into the bathroom. I took my suitcase and then locked the door. I grabbed a different pink bikini cause I hadn't used the one I wore yesterday, and then I put a pair of yellow shorts and yellow vest top. I liked bright colors when I was at the beach! I brushed my hair, added some makeup and then brushed my teeth before heading out.

I spoke to Elena whilst Stefan got changed, then to Stefan whilst Elena got changed, and then to STELENA whilst Damon got changed. Stefan and Damon were just in shorts and Elena in a little dress. We made some cereal and some coffee, ate it, and then headed out.

"Wanna get there quicker?" Damon asked. I grinned wildly and then jumped onto his bare back. I wrapped my arms around him whilst Elena did the same to Stefan, and then readied to take off running.

"Oh!" Elena cried. "We should have a competition! We have a series of games and whoever loses the most has to do something yucky!"

"Yes!" Stefan agreed. "I'm on your team, Elena."

"Then I'm on Nina's." Damon said.

"STELENA VS DININA! BRING IT ON!" I roared. "The 1st game can be a race to see who gets there first."

"Yes!" Elena agreed.

"1, 2, 3, go!" Stefan declared. Then we took off.

I'm serious, it wasn't much of an experiance because me and Damon where there in less than 2 seconds. Elena and Stefan got there just 1 second after us.

"Ha ha!" I laughed. "We beat yo asses!"

"Oh, bring it on!" Elena smirked. "Let's go SWIMMING!"

"OK!" I said. But before we said anything else, Stefan ran towards the water with Elena on his back and was at the water in seconds. I jumped off Damon and smiled. "Damon, give me a horsey ride there?"

"Ugh. Fine." He said, then lowered himself to the floor. I grabbed a piece of seaweed and jumped on his back as he began crawling. "What's the seaweed for?"

"YA!" I shouted and whipped Damon's back with the seaweed.

"I should have known." He muttered.

"YA! GIDDY UP HORSEY! GIDDY UP!"

A lot of people were giving us strange looks but it was all worth the fun of it. We finally reached Stelena who were playing in the water, and then they also gave us weird looks. Then burst out in laughter.

"Niiiiice." Stefan said. He looked at Damon. "Having fun there horsey?"

"Shut it camel." Damon said. I jumped off his back and then threw the seaweed into the water. He stood up and stretched his arms. "What now?"

Smirking, I grabbed a handful of sand and held it out to Damon. "Eat!" I ordered. Damon rolled his eyes, took the sand and eyed me with a hated kind of humour.

"You are so messed up Dinina." He joked.

"Just eat it." I giggled.

Then, we all watched very intensley as Damon tipped the sand into his mouth and swallowed it. Me, Stefan and Elena burst into laughter and I handed Damon more sang. Which he ate. Then, after 3 more handfulls, I grabbed some of the sand that was wet from the sea. Damon once again commented on my sick humour, but then he ate it.

"Done! No more?!" He pleaded.

"Fine." Elena sighed. She high fived me. "Nice one Nina!"

"Thankyou." I smiled. "Now, Stefan and Damon....are you ready?"

They sensed what I was aiming at and both shook their heads. "NO!"

"Go on, baby." Elena said to Stefan and then kissed his forehead. "Just once." Stefan then nodded and I giggled.

"I could use some encouragement as well?" Damon asked me. I slapped his shoulder.

"No, now just kiss!"

Damon and Stefan slowly walked up to each other and then whilst me and Elena continued to chant 'KISS KISS KISS KISS' they finally did. Their lips met and for a full 4 seconds, neither pulled away. That obviously meant that they liked it.

"Ew. Incest." I said in disgust as the broke it off.

"Guys that was disgusting." Elena scowled. "I can't believe you did it."

"What?" Damon cried. "But you-"

"Save it Damon." Stefan said. "It was disgusting."

After laughing the kiss off, and declaring it as the best incest kiss of the year, we started to play tag. Damon was it and I had nowhere to run so I sprinted towards the water.

"I'm in the water!" I screamed as Damon ran towards me.

"So?" He smirked. "That just makes you hotter."

"Stop trying to win me over with your seductive eye thing." I warned.

"Or what?"

"Or I will throw you in the water." I shouted.

"I'm already in the water." He gestured to the water surrounding his ankles. I cursed and then sprinted deeper into the sea. When I turned back, Damon was gone.

"Damon?" I called. I saw something shaped like a man in the water and I screamed. Right before arms wrapped around my legs and I was pulled down. Luckily, I was in my bikinia but sadly, I was up to my neck in water.

"Damon!" I screamed. Damon's head popped up and I slapped his wet face.

"Aw, come on!" He whined. "That was funny!"

"Carry me out." I ordered. "Now!"

Damon bit back a chuckle and then scooped me up again. He carried me out of the water and then seemed to get an idea.

"See that lifeguard?" He asked, gesturing to a middle aged guy with teenage acne all over his face. I nodded. "He keeps giving me the evils so let's play a joke on him."

"Ok!" I agreed. "What joke?"

And before I knew it, Damon screamed. "Someone help me?! My girlfriend's unconscious! Please help me? Please?!"

We caught the attention of many people as well as the life guard and Stelena. A group of people hurried over and Damon lay me gently on the ground.

"What happened?" Stefan growled. Damon must have told him somehow because Stefan then went, "ohhhhh."

"What happened?" The lifeguard asked.

"She wanted her lollipop but it was all the way out in the sea. I tried to get her to come back but she...she didn't listen. It's all my fault!" Damon cried.

I felt the lifeguard's hands press down on my chest and I immediatley shot my eyes open. Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

"Are you okay baby?" Damon asked.

Then, I started to think of Glee and Brittany's random quotes. "Did you know what dolphins are just gay sharks?" I asked them. No one seemed amused so I began to act as if I couldn't breathe.

"Someone call 9-1-1!" A girl screamed.

"Damon..." I spluttered.

"Yes Henrietta?" I would kill him for that later.

"I've been cheating on you. I'm sorry." I lied.

"Another boy?" Damon growled.

"No. A girl. I'm so sorry." I cried.

"Ugh. Screw you Henrietta. You can die alone." And then Damon stood up, and simply walked away. The lifeguard eyed me curiously when I stopped gasping for breath.

"Are you ok?" He asked.

I put on my best Irish accent. "Never better sonny boy. I'm gonna go. Thanks for your hospitality and top of the morning to you. Potatoes."

Everyone gave me the strangest looks as I walked after Damon, followed by Stefan and Elena. We caught up to them and errupted into laughter.

"Priceless!" Damon laughed.

"Henrietta?" I giggled. "I don't look like a Henrietta!"

"Sure you do." He assured me. "In a good way..."

"Come on guys, let's go grab some lunch." Elena stated. She linked hands with Stefan and we began walking up the beach.

"Want anything particular for lunch?" Damon asked me.

A grin spread along my face and I hopped back to my Irish accent. "Potatoes?"
