Damon quickly went to answer the door, his still black hair now cut much shorter to look professional, his green eyes still sparkling, and of course, he had no make up on... Nope Ash was pretty much gone, it was time for Damon to look the part of a lawyer as well as act it. He opened it not knowing who it could've been when he looked out the door his eyes widened in a bit of surprise, "Taylor..." Even after all these years she still managed to take his breath away, "Well, first off congradulations on graduating from Hogwarts and secondly... I didn't expect you to be here this soon." He motioned inside his... erm, home... He didn't care for the mansion but Chelle had insisted on buying it for him. |
Tay raised an eyebrow, "Thanks for the congradulations and why wouldnt you expect me this soon? I mean you did after all invite me and with apparation and all." She stepped inside when he motioned. Taylor hid her surpise at seeing how big his place was since he seemed content to live in the woods. |
He nodded, "Of course... I guess I just figured you'd stay in Scotland and celebrate with your family a little longer before coming here to see me, mon a..." He cut himself off, even after two years of not being together her old nickname almost slipped, "mon ami..." He said rather quickly gripping tightly to his mothers ring that was around his neck still... It hadn't moved from that spot since he himself graduated those few years back, he smiled, knowing it had to seem odd, "Your aunt insisted I take the house." He looked around, "Though it's rather awkward living in her exhusband and her house." Yep, he remembered Lori telling him that, "Before George passed of course. Apparently her name was never taken off of it, so she said I could live here while going to college." |
Tay looked at him, "I celebrated and I'm going out for drinks later with a group of friends. I just thought I might stop by for a bit." Her hands went to her hips, "I remember some visits I had here before it was yours. Good place to live but sad story of George..." Her eyes traveled the room. |
He looked at her, "I don't suppose you mean Max and Min... Do you?" It had been so long since he'd seen them as well, he missed his old friends, "But it is a lovely home, I'll agree... Just rather large and rather empty." He looked at her, catching something in the light around her neck, I must be mad... that can't be the necklace. |
Taylor shook her head, "No, some other friends." Her fingers tapped on her hips. "A very lovely home." Tay nodded and tried to resist to mess with her necklace. She didnt know why she was still wearing the stupid thing even though it had been two years. |
He sighed, looking at her, it was the necklace. Why did things just get ten times more awkward for him? This made no sense to him... He looked down at the ground then back to the necklace, then down again. He shook his head, why lie? "Taylor... I... I've missed you." |
Tay looked at him, "I missed you too, Damon." She did but she had felt awkward all along since she came to the door. Taylor thought back on all the years she had known him, "I... I... I should probably leave... I mean like you said, you werent expecting me this early and it was rude of me to show this early." Tay turned to leave. |
He looked at her, "Taylor wait..." Damon lightly took her hand, ignoring the small shiver that went up his arm from grabbing it, "I... I don't mind. It's good to see you again, I don't care if it's earlier than I expected." He let go realizing how rude or pushy he probably seemed, "Sorry..." |
Taylor turned around and faced him again. She had a smile on her face, "I was hoping you will stop me." She glanced at him, "You always did stop me." Tay onged for a hug but didnt feel like it was appropiate. |
He looked at her, her smile still stunning. He smiled back, "Because I was afraid once you left I'd never see you again." He bit his lower lip, not sure how what to say now, so he did a cliche thing. Bowing to her and kissing her hand like he use to, "I forgot the proper welcome when you came." He blushed slightly but kept his head down to the ground to hide it. |
Taylor smiled at him and chuckled, "Never see you again? Oh, Damon!" She shook her head and chuckled some more. Tay blushed as he bowed and kissed her hand, "I see that you are as charming as ever, Damon. Who ever is dating you is a lucky lady." |
He chuckled, "I was a teenage boy in love... what do you expect?" He grew quiet again and looked back up at her, "I actually haven't been dating since we..." He looked at her, "I never found someone who made me feel the way you did..." |
Tay chuckled, "I dont know what I expect." She smiled. Taylor looked away. Tay was the one blushing now. "So you are a third year in college right?" |
Damon laughed, "Probably the same thing you expected when..." He looked down, "... When your grandfather's men attacked us... That I was gone, and there was no hope. And I still remember the main thing that made me want to stay and fight for my life." He smiled remembering that day, "But yes... Going to be starting it in about another month. What about yourself? What are your plans now that you're done with Hogwarts?" |
Tay nodded at what he said. She gave a faint smile at the 'main thing' thing. "That is good." Taylor nodded, "Travelling the world for a bit and doing my duties in Scotland." |
He smiled at her, "Sounds like fun..." He looked at her, twisting the ring around his neck again, She's still wearing the necklace... Maybe I should just ask. He looked at her, "Taylor, forgive me if I'm being blunt but-" He was inturupted by a knock at the door. Brodie looked at the older boy with a rather uninterested look, "Yes, I'm looking for Taylor McIntyre... She told me she might come by here. |
Tay looked and smiled. She laughed, "Brodie! I wasnt expecting you to show up here." Taylor shook her head, "I thought you would just pop over to the Leaky and hang with the friends we were meeting up with until I got there." Tay took a step back, "Damon this is Brodie, Brodie this is Damon." Taylor smiled and chuckled then looked to Damon, "What were you saying?" |
"Oh, right you're her cousin." He gave a kind nod to the man, "And I couldn't wait another minute... I have something I need to ask you." He smiled at Taylor. Damon shared the kind nod, "Damon or Ash... Whichever works for you." He looked at Taylor, "Um... I was going to say I thought you looked stunning." "Indeed you do." Brodie reached for Taylor's hand, "So your also the exboyfriend... Funny, I pictured you looking more like your father," He indicated to the hair. |
Tay smiled at Brodie then looked to Damon. She gave a slight blush, which only deepened when Brodie agreed. "Like I said, Damon, you are still as charming." Taylor chuckled and then looked at Brodie, "What is it you need to ask?" Tay let him take her hand. |
Damon felt a stab, Nope... should've known I'd be to late... "Thank you princess... and yes, Brodie, I'm her ex." He had to push that last word out, which he noted got him a strange look from Brodie. He smiled at Taylor, his strong Scottish accent coming out again, "Well, my love..." He once again noticed a defeated look from Damon, Poor fool still loves her. He chuckled silently before going down on one knee, "Taylor... We've been together for almost two years now. I've been thinking about this for a while, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you." He pulled out a ring, "Will you marry me?" |
Taylor's eyes widen and her free hand went up and covered her mouth. She smiled, "I would love to, Brodie. I will be honored." She hadnt seen the looks on Damon's face. Tears of joy was in her eyes. |
Brodie stood up, again, "I love you, Taylor." He kissed her. Okay... I'm done... Damon silently slipped into the kitchen, sighing he looked around, ripping the letter he'd written for her in half and into the trash. He walked out into the backyard which were filled with his and her favorite flowers... The blue roses obviously charmed, they were actually black roses. With a simple wave the blue roses and the birds of paradise died away just leaving an empty garden. He sat down on the swinging bench he sighed again. Should I ask for the stupid necklace back? I don't know why she'd still wear it... She knows what it means... and had my mind ever changed on it being her I would've asked for it back. |
