Disclaimer: Characters are inspired by the ones on TVD, no ownership I hold. The names I kept but they might be ooc. That is partly due to the fact that it is an all human, another universe story, but also because I didn't choose to keep them just the way they appeared. My characters, if I can call them so, are mostly just inspired by the ones on the show, not necessarily the same ones. Pairing: Bonnie/Kol. Other couples may appear, have not decided yet. Also this story consists of mostly just interlined one-shots. Rating: M 'cause I am super cautious and this is my first ever posted story.
„Morning sleepy head" she woke him up with a bucket of water on his face. He groaned being awoken from a really nice dream he was having. He was with a beautiful girl, just had spent the night in his bed with. Why had he be awoken so dramatically and so… what was the word? He could barely formulate a sentence, even in his mind let alone spell one out loud; he was still almost back in his dreams, only to be dragged out of his thoughts by a shriek from the girl next to him. The girl tried to hid herself under the comforter with embarrassment to be found naked next to him, whereas the other girl just smirked at him with another bucket of water in hands, next to his side of the bed. It wasn't an unusual thing for him, however for his bed mate… that is another story. She slapped him. He had it coming, if he was honest with himself, but he didn't care much.
"You need to get ready, of you're gonna be late for the wedding and we both know Care…" she trailed off barely containing her laughter while going in the general direction of his kitchen. "you got five minutes" she finished, he almost didn't hear the last part because the other girl was so loud trying to collect all her belongings and rushing out from his condo while shouting at him for using her or something similar, he did not really paid attention to her, he was too busy trying to figure out how Bonnie got into his place and getting ready to take a shower and for the wedding. He was not really fond of the idea to be one of the groomsmen his brother made him be, but hopefully he didn't have to endure the procedure many times in the future. There was an upside though; he would be able to score some new girl at the wedding. The prospect lit him up like nothing before; he took a quick shower and went to his kitchen.
Bonnie was still there holding a cup out for him once she heard him coming. "You were faster than expected." she added "still; we would be late if I hadn't come half an hour earlier than supposed to". She laughed at his expression that portrayed first confusion than something like anger and finally relief.
"How do I look" he asked in a high pitched voice like he imagined girls would on their shopping sprees, he even twirled himself around. They both ended up laughing while heading to the garage where his car was parked. Earlier in the week they agreed to go together, mostly because Bonnie wanted to make sure that he did come and arrive on time, not to mention she didn't like to drive in the city and didn't want to hold back on the liquor just because she was driving. Besides the parking was a hell as it was. She wasn't the one to drink till blackout but still, driving and drinking was a definite no-no in her books, especially since her father died because of a drunk driver.
"So, when do I see that special bridesmaid's dress?" he asked, mainly to start conversation, but also he heard so much complaining about the dress that it made him unbelievably curious. He knew it was shorter and the colour was brighter than Bonnie liked it, but never really saw it. He once tried to get a sneak peak at an interrompu tailoring session with no success. He didn't really know anything apart from the flowers he had to order and the invitation letters that Bonnie single-handedly sent out.
"I don't really feel comfortable in the dress, so not earlier than necessary." she answered honestly. She had it on her, he was sure, under the summer trench coat. it was classy, elegant, yet a bit too much for the sunny and warm summer day for his taste, but he knew Bonnie wasn't the type of girl to wear miniskirts that barely covered anything or tank tops that showed too much cleavage. Oh how much he loved those designers…
"on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being like wearing a chador and 10 being like wearing a really small bikini, how much skin are you showing?" he asked. It wasn't necessarily a surprising question seeing his 'girlfriends' and the fact that he didn't get any direct answer to this specific question from anyone yet.
"I'd say like 5 or 6, but it is too revealing for my taste. Your sister on the other hand is wearing an even shorter one" she added. "Where do you pick up these girls anyway?" she asked trying to change the subject "I should put up some posters or something, to save them the embarrassment of sleeping with you" she laughed. "She was less trashy than the last one, an improvement, I have to admit… still…" she amused.
They had this on and off going banter, neither of them really going any further or deeper conversation-wise. They worked together after all, even if it was only for a few more weeks, one and a half to be precise. And then she will be gone. Gone forever, if looks can be trusted. They enjoyed working together, flirting, occasionally fighting, but she was a replacement and she was fine with it, and so was he, that is what he told himself. She didn't want to overstay (not just her welcome, but in general too) because that would be more painful. After all she was his temporary assistant because Jeremy took a two month leave, honeymoon he called it. Kol couldn't contain his eye-roll when Jer told him about it. He didn't necessarily like or hate Anna, but still it was a long break.
Good thing Caroline, his soon-to-be-sister-in-law told him about this friend, fresh out of college and job, of hers who would be in town for the preparation of the wedding. She had to leave her earlier post for personal reasons, she never really explained why, but he saw it was a sore subject so he never really questioned it either. The weird part of their relationship was that they grew close pretty fast as friends, they understood each other, yet they didn't talk much about their feelings, if any, it was enough to have someone to laugh with. Care once even asked when they got together. The question made both of them first frown than laugh, because... it was just simply unimaginable. They were friends. Nothing more. Nothing less.
