Damon was currently scowling at Bonnie as they both stood playing pool with Stefan and Caroline at the grill. He couldn't believe what she was wearing. At first he thought she was changing up her look a bit; when a few days ago she came prancing into the boarding house wearing a sunflower tube top and matching mini shorts. She'd paired a backwards baseball hat, large gold "LA" earrings and all black Chuck Taylor's with the outfit, giving her a sporty yet feminine look. Damon was shocked to see so much of Bonnie's sun kissed skin all at once. He hadn't seen that much of her skin since the day he "accidentally" walked in on her getting out of the shower in the prison world. That whole afternoon he kept trying to find ways to get her to bend over in front of him, unsuccessful of course. That day he appreciated her outfit, hell he even went as far as to sneaking a few pictures of her for later "research purposes", but today was different.

Today unlike when they were in the boarding house alone, they were in public and instead of just his eyes ogling her every guy in the whole damn restaurant had their eyes glued to her. He had even caught Stefan staring! At first glance her outfit seemed normal. She had on a simple white cuffed sleeve T shirt with the word "read" and a made up definition (as you would find in a dictionary) in big bold black letters across the front. However her shorts are what had him fuming. They were the daisiest of dukes. So much so that her ass cheeks were playing peek-a-boo, and to top it off she had the nerve to wear a designer garter belt or as Damon had been mentally calling them 'ass suspenders' over her shorts. Again she pulled it all together with all black Chuck Taylor's.

The moment he saw her he wanted ask her who the hell let her out the house like that and force a pair of snow pants on her. But before he could open his mouth vampire Barbie cut him with a look that told him to shut it and suck it up. So he silently agreed and rush to get them a table, so at least she'd be sitting down. All was fine until his idiotic little brother suggested they play a few games of pool after the girls had finished their meals. If Damon had the power to mentally blow up Stefan's head, his brains would have coated the walls of the grill the moment the word pool fell from his lips.

Now he was watching Bonnie bend over for the one millionth time, and he couldn't even enjoy it completely because he was too busy mentally killing every person who gawked at her ass each time she bent over to take her shot. Finally he was given a reprieve as she missed her shot, but set up Caroline with the ability to win and end the game.

"For the love of god blondie take the shot, and for fucks sake don't miss and end this game so we can get the hell out of here," he gritted out to Caroline as she prepared for her turn.

"Damon, what's wrong?" she asked way too innocently.

"We're all relaxing and you've been super tense since we got here,"

"You know damn well..." he began to respond but stop short when he catches the sight of Bonnie bending over to tie her loose shoelaces out of his peripheral.

'What the hell is she trying to do to me!' he thought feeling the air that he didn't need get caught and lodged in his throat.

If he wasn't a vampire he would be dead from lack of oxygen to the brain.

"Squat!" he shouts at her finally getting his tongue to work again before using his vamp speed to leave the grill like a madman.

Bonnie stood up and looked at Caroline, and Stefan with wide eyes in the wake of his sudden departure. They all then burst into a fit of laughter.

"How long do you think he'll last before he has a full breakdown?" Stefan asks once their laughter calms down.

"I think he already has reached that point," Caroline chuckles

"The real question is how long do you think he's going to last until he finally corners Bonnie and pins her to a wall," she adds cheekily

Bonnie shakes her head and sends a wink toward Caroline.

"It serves him right, for saying your look was reliable and predictable. What does that even mean!?" Caroline huffs out causing Stefan to chuckle.

"Plus it's giving him the push he needs to get off his ass and finally get the ball rolling with you. I mean Bons you're a bad ass master witch, smart, sexy... I mean just smoking hot! How can he be so blind!" Caroline adds

"Well that's definitely the goal. I've tried to go Damon directly but he wrote me off. I respected that and put my feelings on the back burner. Then he started to act like a jealous lunatic when I started to explore other options!" Bonnie says rolling her eyes remembering the many dates he'd ruined.

"So I thought, what the hell I'll give it another go. But this time try an indirect approach, get some payback, and have some fun," she explained.

"Well I'd say it's definitely working, you've got him hooked," Caroline responded and Stefan nodded in agreement.

"Stage 1 complete!" Bonnie said doing a mock bow, earning laughter from her two friends. "Alright let's go make sure Damon hasn't done something overly dramatic to temper his anger," Stefan said as they all headed out the to the grill's parking lot.

"You guys go ahead, I'm going to head home and prepare for the next stages," Bonnie said before giving both Caroline and Stefan hugs goodbye.

"Wait!" Stefan shouts before they part ways.

Both girls look at him expectantly as he looks around silently for a moment. Once it seems as if he is satisfied with his assessment of the area, he yells

"Squat!" and they all burst into laugher.

"Sorry I couldn't resist" he finally manages to get out amongst the laughter.

I hope you enjoyed reading. The two outfits describe are actually outfits that the Lovely Kat Graham has worn. I just love her style and this story was most definitely inspired by them.
