A new day. A new stressful day.

"Katherine can you please go get the door while I take care of Bryan?"

"No Damon, I'm busy. You go get it. It's probably that new babysitter anyways."

I looked over at Katherine who was looking at a magazine photo of her. I looked at Bryan, blond hair blue eyes with fair skin, just like his mom. Hopefully he doesn't get her same attitude.

Instead of starting a fight, again, I got up to answer the door.

When I opened the door my breath caught in my throat. The babysitter looked to be about 17. She had long brown straight hair, brown eyes that were swimming with purity and lips begging to be kissed. She was wearing a tight blue tank top showering off her perfect chest. I couldn't help myself to let my eyes wander to her legs. She had on low rise dark blue jeans, but that fact didn't hide how amazingly long her legs are.

Stop it Salvatore! She is a young babysitter. You are engaged!

I looked back at the babysitter and there was a blush on her cheeks. I gave a little cough. "Hey I'm Damon Salvatore. Please come in."

I notice her take a breath, "Hi Mr. Salvatore, I'm Elena Gilbert."

Gilbert? Oh her parents died last year in a car wreck. Elena must have noticed I recognized the name because she then added, "Please don't bring it up…"

Instead of responding I held the door wider for her and she followed in silently. I couldn't help my eyes from wondering to her perfectly shaped ass. I gave an internal groan and followed her to the kitchen where Katherine was.

"Damon!"

I walked in seeing her holding a crying Bryan. How did I not hear all this?

"I have been calling you for a few minutes now! Please take Bryan and calm him down. I'm going to be in the car."

Katherine dumped Bryan in my arms and stalked out of the room, not even looking at Elena.

Once Bryan was in my arms he immediately calmed down. I looked over at Elena, she was smiling at Bryan. Gosh she has a pretty smile.

"Mr. Salvatore your baby is just the cutest." She came over and started to rub Bryan's hand. Bryan gave out a little giggle and Elena laughed. That is a laugh I'd love to hear every day.

"Please call me Damon."

"Ok…Damon." Is it weird that I love hearing my name come off her lips?

"Bryan is the perfect child. He is mine, in a sense. But really he isn't biologically mine. If he was, I'd have him all to myself right now without worrying about Katherine."

"I'm sorry, come again?"

"You're going to be our babysitter, a nanny of sorts without living here basically. And hopefully you'll be here as long as we need you. So I need you to understand that Katherine isn't the person to go to when Bryan is hurt or unhappy or sick or you don't know what to do. Call me. I'll help and be here because she will not. I love Katherine but she can be a bit self centered right now."

"Okay, understood. You don't really have to explain much to me."

"Right. Well umm the phone is right on the counter. Emergency numbers are on the fridge. My cell phone number is the first one. Food is simple, he can eat anything. So can you, anything in this house you can use."

"Good. Two questions though. How old is Bryan and what times should I put him in bed?" She took Bryan out of my arms and held him on her left hip. I couldn't help but think how right that felt, her being the one to hold Bryan.

"He's three years old. And you can put him in bed around 7. That's an hour from now."

"Okay. Have fun tonight."

"Right. Umm if you don't mind me asking, how did Katherine hire you? She just told me last night that you were coming by and to not argue about it." I said the last part with a small laugh.

"Oh umm I saw her yesterday at the grocery store. I was with my little brother Jeremy. She said that I looked like a girl who knew how to take care of kids, hence having a five year old brother. So she hired me and it wasn't like I could say no."

"Hard to say no to her…. If you don't mind me asking, can you tell me how old you are? Just so I know that I'm not hiring some child who can't take care of my kid."

At least that is why I tried to convince myself of but I think we all know what the real reason was. Yes I want my son safe but I didn't want to have impure thoughts on a child. Even though I'm engaged and the thoughts are still impure. I shouldn't have any thoughts of a teenager since I'm 24.

Elena gave me a shy smile. "I just turned 18. But I don't want you to worry Damon. I've been taking care of my brother since my parents accident…. I know how to take care of kid. I am perfectly capable of this job. Give me the chance to prove it to you."

I nodded my head trying to look professional. "You're right. Thank you so much. I should get going Elena. Thank you for coming on such short notice." I took her free hand and dropped it as soon as I touched her, an electric current went up my arm and I stared at her a moment confused. Wondering if she felt what I felt as well. Elena's eyes went wide for a moment but she quickly recovered and bid me goodbye.

At that moment I knew this was going to be interesting.
