This story is meant to be a one-shot maybe two, I'm not sure. Hope you like it!
Here comes his twisted smile, and that wicked raised eyebrow.
Staring at me, Our legs are falling to the ground. And if I try to understand, All the workings of this man,
Id be losing every hand, hes at the devils command. ~Devil's Command by: Kat Dahlia
"What haunts you most…about him." A look of are you kidding me flashed in her friend's eyes. With a cocky smirk Bonnie Bennett hands her friend a drink and asks to be humored. Caroline Forbes takes it with appreciation and drinks. The slow burn of Jack Daniels Honey washes down throat satisfying a lingering craving. A sweet kiss from the honey rests on her lips. She needed that and if she is going to indulge her friend she's going to need a lot more. After all, she's spent minutes, hours, days, and weeks denying there was anything to deny. The two best friends need no words. Just eye contact and a few sly grins. Bonnie pours another drink and Caroline's lips start to move.
"The way the taste of him leaves me thirsty. When his tongue slips into my mouth leaving me begging for water. But…not just any kind of water, no. It had to be the kind laced with his brand of flavor. The cool feel of his hands, the smoothness of his voice, and the healing of his presence. Even back before we ever kissed he would talk and I'd always leave him wanting more. I should have known then, to run faster. "
The two old friends click the glasses together and gulp. Kat Dahlia plays in the background. Devil's Command is on repeat because it's the only song that will do them justice right now. "I get it. I mean it's crazy. You're crazy. But no one ever retells stories about the boring loves." She tells her, grinning. She gets it, boy does she ever.
Caroline raised her glass, grateful for a little understanding. True, she had a taste of it with Stefan and even Katherine but Bonnie was meant the most. Another drink passed her lips for the friend she refused to think about. The one that wouldn't understand. "Are we going to sit here and pretend you're here to support me and my bad decisions? Because, Bonnie Bennett, I was under the impression you were looking to air out some bad decisions of your own"
While she says nothing the air dries her lips from the Jack. Bonnie licks her lips and chuckles. "Yeah, I guess I do have something I'm dying to get out. But…" But she needs liquid courage. "When I was on the other side with him alone, he did something I will never forgive him for. He showed me his true self. No distractions no bullshit. I got to see him. I knew the bad and the ugly, seeing the good…" She couldn't finish. Not because she didn't have anything else to say but because she had entirely too much to say.
"Did it go any further then just talking? You two where away for months without knowing for sure that you were coming back. I mean, I know what I would have done if it were me and well…you know who." Again Bonnie laughed and answered back with a shake of her head. No. "You know he still loves, Elena." Even as she said the words, Bonnie's body went still. As if the words had that much power over her. It wasn't the words that held the power, though, it was him. He had that much power over her.
Caroline's eyes rolled with such drama. "I don't want to talk about her unless we're saying what a bitch she is." Just like that, angry rushed through Caroline's veins. "Don't look at me like that, I've done enough for that girl. She almost killed my mom and never once apologized. Still I got passed it, I'm done cheering for her. Done risking my life to save her ass. The next bad guy that wants her, can take her. I'll wrap her with a freaking bow and take her to them myself!"
Loyalty was something that came easy to Caroline in her new life. She cared so much for the safety of her family and friends but even she had her limits. Elena had crossed that line. It was something that Bonnie understood, hell what hadn't she lost for the Elena cause. Hearing Caroline's outburst made her happy. Glad to know she wasn't the only one that thought that way.
"I tried to tell her about him. What I was feeling. When I first got back I'd been alone out there for a while and I wasn't really sure what I was feeling. I just thought, since she had erased the memories of him and didn't feel for him romantically I could talk to her. But when I started to test the waters I could see it was going to be an issue. When I talked her she got territorial."
"Of course she did. Elena's selfish, Bonnie! She doesn't care about him anymore but she doesn't want to let him go because he's back and she's not done with him yet. She doesn't know why she wants him but she'll be damned if she loses the opportunity to find out before she's ready. Which for Elena could mean decades!"
Bonnie knew Caroline was right and there was no changing that. Damon had been Elena's first. He was in love with her. What could she do? "And he's going to wait for her because he's in love. I was just the annoying witch he could talk to while he thought he was in hell." Bitterness tainted her drink so Bonnie went into the Caroline's secret stash and brought out something stronger.
"You know I don't tolerate quitting but I'm not going to tell you to fight when I haven't lifted a damn finger to fight for Klaus. But, if I could I would say fight. He's spent the last 100 and something years chasing after Katherine and these last few years pinning for Elena. I don't think he knows what he wants. Feels like he's just sticking to what's familiar. Besides when you sent your bear over, he wouldn't let it out of his sight. He was determined to bring you back. Even betraying Alaric because he wanted you back safe."
Listening to her words gave Bonnie warmth and chills. Something only Damon could do. He had fought for her? Was it out of duty or something else? And if it was something else then it begged the question…
"And what about Elena?"
"If I'm wrong about her, then I'm a heartless bitch and she's the unfortunate kind soul that will forgive you. If I'm right, and I know I am, then ask yourself…when have we ever needed her more than she's needed us?"
"I want you to be right. I think deep inside I know you are but…"
"I get it, you've got a good heart. Save it for someone that matters."
"You mean, save it for Damon. Gosh, is this what my life has come to? What our lives have come to? Sitting in your living room pinning over Damon and Klaus of all people. We are hot, intelligent, strong women!" Shots. It was time for shots! Caroline grabbed the glasses and let Bonnie pour while she put on 'Do I wanna know by the Arctic Monkeys.'
"What's wrong is that we are females with expensive tastes in love. We want the men that are going to cost us the most. But they're so pretty and so strong. With hot bodies and the lines right here that go straight to their-"
"Okay! Caroline I get it…and you're right. About all of it. Their perfect even when they drive us crazy. It's just…it's nice ya know to have someone to bounce ideas off of. Someone who will fight with you and for you. I miss the fighting." Another shot. With that Bonnie was done for the night. She had no intentions of needing to get her stomach pumped. Caroline would have to drink for the both of them.
"Me too and the sex. You're lucky you don't know what you're missing yet. But I do. I know. It's a lot. I mean I don't want to make a big deal about it but if we were to make a big deal we would be making a damn big deal. Best and worse of all he knows how to make me make a big deal of it. Bonnie the man can put in work!"
Bonnie laughed. "You're drunk you need to stop! We need to stop! We need to let go! Find other men."
"Okay" Caroline re did her ponytail and smiled, determined. "We are gonna call them right now! If they don't answer, we kill them. From our hearts and move on. If they do answer, they totally love us and we get sober and go let some lovin." Bonnie laughed and shook her head. She wasn't as drunk as Caroline but she was drunk enough to go along with what she said.
Both girls took out their phones going onto separate rooms for privacy, waiting to see what fate had in mind.
