She took another sip of hot chocolate and with her free hand she attempted to pull the blanket closer around her but only succeeded in dislodging it from her body entirely. She sighed, why did things never happen the way they did in the movies? but she quashed the thought almost immediately as a couple of years ago her life was like something out of a horror movie - people dying around her from vampire attacks, her best friend coming back from the dead- twice, and herself developing awesome and undisputed psychic powers that even scared herself sometimes.
Bonnie put the mug on the floor and stood up when suddenly the blanket was draped around her shoulders by someone who hadn't been there a minute ago.
"You ought to wrap up warm on such a cold night," Bonnie jumped at the voice and knocked the mug of chocolate over in her attempt to back away, but the owner of the voice just flashed her a brilliant white grin in the dim light of the porch,
"you're scared, you shouldn't be you know. There's nothing to be scared of." A horrible sense of Deja-vu crept over Bonnie- she hadn't sensed him, but then she had forgotten he could mask his presence. She had also forgotten how gorgeous he was.
"I'm
not scared, you just made me jump that's all" she said defensively
drawing away from the long fingers that stroked the side of her face,
she was suddenly angry with herself for thinking about him- she was
married to Matt now and she wouldn't betray him.
Damon smiled and Bonnie's heart skipped a beat,
"
I could hear your thoughts a mile away Bonnie, you were thinking about
me, wondering what it would be like if you and I were together"
Bonnie
blushed bright red and tried to push past Damon to get to the safety of
her house but he stepped casually in front of her and held her arms.
"I
don't suffer fools blindly Bonnie- you should know that by now, and I
don't take kindly to people who play me for a fool either"
She could feel the anger radiating from his body and his enormous
power, but he was undeniably attractive even without using his powers
she doubted there were many women who could resist him.
"Let
me go otherwise I'll scream the neighbourhood down and wake Matt" she
told him through gritted teeth, he relented and she took a step back
rubbing her arms.
A light went on upstairs, Damon was already melting into the shadows,
"the choice yours Bonnie- come with me and I can make your dreams come
true- you could be so much more powerful than what you are now, or you
could stay here with Matt wondering until the day you die what could
have been."
With that Damon disappeared in a flurry of wings leaving
Bonnie on the porch trying to reassure Matt that she was alright and
that she'd just had a bad dream.
