It wasn't Damon who figured out who told My Fair Lady about their plus-sized launch and the deal with Ananda along with who made the call and sent the email to Niran, pretending to be Elena.

That was all Elena.

Anyway, it was Lexi.

She had discovered that Elena and Damon were sleeping together. They had been careful around the office, but she had found out, and she had been less than happy about it, so she had decided to get back at them by screwing up the Ananda deal. And maybe Lexi had thought that, by trying to make it out that Elena had told My Fair Lady, it would break them up and leave the way clear for herself.

When Damon and Elena confronted Lexi with their suspicions, she denied it at first. But, when Elena told her that it was her login that signed into the system a few minutes before the email was sent to Niran, using Elena's email that Lexi had access to, she folded like a deck of cards.

Turned out, Lexi's cousin worked in the marketing department at My Fair Lady, and she was looking for a foot up the career ladder, so Lexi gave her one. Two birds, one stone.

Lexi was fired on the spot and escorted from the building.

Because there was nothing to be done about the deal with Ananda, as Niran had done what he had to so that he could keep his business afloat, Lady Boss had to find another supplier.

It wasn't easy. But Damon and Elena worked all their contacts and barely slept until they found one in Bangkok. The silk was more expensive than Ananda but still cheaper than their Chinese supplier. The sales margin would be low, but they promised them early delivery, which meant they could launch before My Fair Lady.

It was a risk, but it was one that paid off.

The product flew off the shelves.

Mainly because of the design team and artist that Elena had brought in. Jo Parker was a friend of Elena. They had met at yoga class a few years ago. She was an artist, a starving artist, but her work was amazing. Elena had asked her if she would like to design the prints for the bras.

Jo had said yes, and the rest was history.

Lillian and Giuseppe were thrilled with how Damon and Elena had brought this back around and made such a success out of it when it could have just failed after My Fair Lady took their idea and supplier.

Elena said it was because of both of them, but Damon said it was all her. He couldn't have done it without her. He wouldn't be the man he was now without her.

And his parents were also thrilled that he and Elena were together. There was no keeping their relationship under wraps after the whole Lexi thing, and honestly, Damon didn't want to. He wanted everyone to know that this smart, beautiful woman was his.

Sometimes, Damon did have to wonder if that was part of his mother's plan when she brought Elena in to work at Lady Boss. Not that she didn't bring her talent to the company because she was smart as hell, and she could run it with her eyes closed. But maybe it was also to give him a counterpart—not only in business, but in his personal life, too.

In business, he was a grown-up man, but in his private life, he was still acting like a teenager.

But not now. Damon was a different man now. Because of Elena. She had changed him for the better.

He was a man in love. And love would do some crazy things to one person.

Things he wouldn't change for the world.

Life was great. He had the most incredible woman by his side at work and in his bed at night.

His parents and friends loved her. His parents, Enzo and Alaric all thought the sun shone out of Elena's ass—well, it did—but Damon did sometimes think they liked her more than him. If they did, they should. She was a far better person than he could ever hope to be.

He just thanked God that Elena saw something in him and wanted to be with him. Because, without her, the company and he would be nothing.

And Lady Boss had been selling product faster than they could supply it because of Elena's genius management, and their Bangkok supplier couldn't meet all of their demands. As Ananda only signed with My Fair Lady for the initial batch they stole from Lady Boss, they were free to sign with Lady Boss again. So, Lady Boss now had both their Bangkok supplier and Ananda for the plus-sized range. As the range had brought in new customers for their standard sizes, too, Damon felt that, soon, he was going to be asking Niran if expansion was an option.

He and Elena were back in Bangkok, staying at the Shangri-La. They were not here to work though. They were here on vacation. It had been one year since she slapped him and since he kissed her.

Damon thought it would be romantic to bring her here for their anniversary, and it turned out, he was right. When he gave her the tickets for their vacation, she had this soft look in her eyes.

And, right now, they were lying in bed together, both covered in sweat, panting to catch their breaths.

Damon thought it would be a good idea to re-enact their first night together, minus the slap across the face. So, they went to the Hot Springs and then to the same bar, except they actually ate this time. Then, they came back to the hotel, and he was undressing her before she even got the door open.

"Wow," she said.

"I know."

"It gets better every time, right? It is not just me?"

Damon turned on his side to face her and brushed her hair off her forehead. "It is not just you, babe. It is us together. We are dynamite in the sack."

Elena giggled.

And Damon smiled.

She was amazing, and she was all his.

She moved to get up, and Damon pulled her back down to him.

"Where are you going?"

"To clean up."

"We will get a shower together."

"We didn't do that on the first night."

"No, we didn't, but then I didn't ask you to move in with me either that night, so I guess we are adding a new memory to our anniversary."

Elena was staring at him, not saying anything, with a shock and dazed look in her eyes.

Damon smiled and said, "If you didn't get that the first time, that was me, Damon Salvatore, asking you, Elena Gilbert, to move in with me."

Her lips parted. She licked them. "You want me to move in with you?"

"Yes. We can live at my place or yours, or we can buy somewhere new together."

"But that means, we would be working together and living together. Are you sure that's what you want?"

"Babe, I know what I want—you all the time. You are the only person I can spend this much time around, and it still doesn't feel like enough. We are practically living together already. We stay over at each other's places all the time. Question is, is it what you want?"

Damon held his breath, waiting for her answer.

Then, Elena smiled. "Of course it's what I want."

She threw her arms around his neck, hugging him, and Damon held her back just as tight.

"Best anniversary gift ever," she whispered. "But I feel bad. I didn't get you anything. You said, no gifts."

"You are my gift, babe." And she was.

"Still, I want to give you something," she murmured. She started to kiss her way down his body.

Who was Damon to argue if his girl wanted to gift him a blow job?

And, if the last blow job after he gave her the tickets to come here was anything to go by, then imagined what he was in for after asking her to move in with him.

Damon wondered what he would get when he asked her to be Mrs Salvatore.

And, yes, he said when, not if.

But that was not for now. That was for another time…in the not-so-distant future.

He would say...…a year from now.

But, right now, he was going to just enjoy the hell out of living with Elena, his partner in work and life.

Elena Gilbert, the girl who used to hate loving him.

Who now just loved him.

The End

It is such a comfort knowing there are amazing people in my life cheering me to write DE stories. Thank you to all my readers and some wonderful friends I have met in this DE fanfiction website - all of you are amazing!

Maybe this story is not the best and some of you may think I have rushed things. I will try to be better next time. It may take some time before I will post another DE story as work has been really busy lately. And I need some time to recharge my energy before I can shove myself over the start line for the next DE story.

Once again, thank you for everything:)
