JUICY

ch 19

The next day Kayla woke up to an almost empty house. The teen walked down stairs and came across Damon in the kitchen standing at the stove cooking pancakes as Mary J Blige played

"Damon?"

The oldest Salvatore turned around to see the girl "Good morning Kayla"
"You listen to Miss Blige?"

Kayla walked into the kitchen with a disbelieving smile as Damon turned back to the stove flipping the pancakes over
"Do I listen to Mary J. Blige?"

Damon looks over his shoulders and sings along with the speaker "I got a question for ya-see I already know the answer"

Grabbing her stomach Kayla leans on the counter laughing "My bad boo"

Damon smiles taking the pancakes out the pan "Get two plates, foods ready"
"Is it just us?"
"I feel like we haven't had an opportunity to bond"

"Well you are a grown adult sir, we don't have much to "bond" over" Kayla grabs two plates from the cabinet shrugging
"So not true, I am a lover of the finer things in life, try me"

Kayla sits at the table putting the plates down "Okay...I like art"
"I happen to love art, I've even been to the Metropolitan Museum of Art"

Kayla eyed Damon "Shut up, are you for real?"
"Uh yea" Damon responded in a duh tone

Shrugging Damon palaces a pancake on to his plate "My mom loved going to art auctions, guess I picked it up from her"
"My mom actually gave me my love for art too"

Kayla looked down picking up her glass of orange juice. The two sat in silence for a second before Kayla spoke again "Subject change, these pancakes are ass"

Damon leaned back in offense "No they aren't"
"Yes they are"
"Since you wanna change the subject so bad let's talk about you paralyzing that girl"

"Oh my gosh bro who said that?! That don't even sound believable" Kayla scoffed
"I don't know i heard you fight like a dude"
"Get out my face Damon"

Damon covered his face laughing as Kayla threw an apple on the table at him
"Like a buff dude too apparently"

Standing up Kayla left the room annoyed "You are so aggravating, go get a job or a hobby that's not bothering minors"

A while after Kayla got ready she received a text from Caroline asking her and Damon to come over and help pick out a dress for the founders party. The two got in Damon's car and drove over with Taylor Swift playing in the background behind Kayla's teasing and Damon's "I'm not ashamed of my swift ness"

Now the two sat in Carolines room as the blonde held up a dress in the mirror

"No yellow. Jaundice. Go for the blue" Damon critiqued as Kayla rolled her eyes as Caroline pouted "But I don't like the blue"

Kayla leaned forward "I bought you that dress Caroline cause you kept saying you liked it"
"And I love it and you" the Forbes smiled

"If I wear pink and Damon wear green we could be the power puff girls" Kayla suggests biting back a smile as she looks at Damon
"OMG yes!"
"OMG no!"

"Welp, wear the yellow Caroline we aren't doing power puff"
"No come on that's be so cute. My dad has a green tie you can use" Caroline offers as Kayla nods in amusement
"And I can get you a full green suit in about an hour"
"Go to hell Kayla"

Damon stands up from the bed rolling his eyes "Give me the tie"

Caroline smiled clasping her hands together and running out the room to go get the green tie
