Chapter 3:Pretend

"Wait Ashley, please don't!" said a crushed Stefan.

Ashley turned around and asked, "Why do you care? If I remember right you have a girlfriend, pay a little more attention to her and less to me. Oh and girl… whatever your name is, why don't you pay a little less attention to Damon and a little more to your boyfriend. Maybe then you'll actually end up with a guy in the end and not lose both of them."

Both Stefan and Elena stood there speechless. As Damon smirked and walked Ashley to their room. She went immediately went and sat on the bed and said, "Get asking your questions I know you have some."

"How do you know my brother?" asked Damon as he stared at the girl.

"We met a long time ago when he was still trying to get over Katherine. I was human at the time and found him crying. We got to talking and became friends," replied Ashley.

"Okay, so most girls fall head over heels for my brother why didn't you?" asked Damon.

"Ask him. I can't stand your brother and he knows why. The only reason I'm here is because he's the only one who cares about me enough to protect me from werewolves. I wouldn't be here if I wasn't desperate. Why don't you ever steal his girl?"

"The girls always fall for him; I'm the one they use. I mean he's the sweet one, the good one, he's every girls prince charming," replied Damon as he went and sat by Ashley on the bed.

"No that's what he pretends to be, when in reality he cares about number one the most… sorry to insult your brother maybe he's changed."

"Wow you really want to get back at him for something don't you?" asked Damon.

Ashley nodded, when an idea formed in her mind, "And you want to be with Elena, if you don't mind pissing your brother off, why don't we pretend to date?"

"Because that would make Elena jealous and you can get even with my brother … okay deal," said Damon as they shook each other hand.

"As long as you know this is pretend. I been so in love with someone once that it consumed me, it was the right mixture of danger and adventure," said Ashley in a daydream state.

"I understand, and don't worry I don't plan to fall for you. I mean the whole idea to this is for me to get with Elena."
