Gods and Monsters

Bonnie, Caroline and Elena walked into the grille and grabbed their usual table.

"Alright ladies, what are we drinking?" Bonnie asked.

"Vodka, and with how the new bartender is checking her, I volunteer Bonnie to but in the order." Caroline spoke out. Bonnie arched her eyebrow and looked at the new bartender casually; she couldn't help but smile and look away. Caroline and Elena giggled, "Go on, Bonnie. It's time to move on and find a better love interest, unless you know…you're chicken. BAWK!" Caroline exclaimed with a grin on her lips.

Bonnie rolled her eyes at her best friend; she stood with her wallet in hand. "Be bold and fearless." She said to herself. She walked up to the bar and smiled at the bartender, he had light blue eyes and an irresistible smile that would make any female come out of their clothes within seconds of seeing it.

"Hello, sweetheart; what can I get for you?" He asked with a lick of his lips.

Your number Bonnie thought to herself, "A round of drinks for me and my friends?" She asked softly.

"No problem, I'll deliver it personally if I can get your name." The bartender said smoothly. Bonnie's jaw hung open for a moment before it turned into a smile, trying hard to play off her surprise.

"Binnie, Bannie, Bonnie! My name's Bonnie." She stammered and chuckled. "I'm sorry; I guess I'm just a little distracted." She confessed, by your gorgeousness! JESUS! She thought.

"I was going to stay the same thing, Bonnie. I'm Eric." He held out his hand, she shook his hand felt a charge coming from him, she could read his thoughts, his emotions.

"You're a witch," She stated.

"So are you." Eric grinned; Bonnie smiled back and bit the inside of her lip.

"I should get back to my friends." She dismissed.

"I'll be over with your drinks in a little bit." Eric reminded. Bonnie nodded her head, walking away from him, turning bright red.

"Binnie?" Elena called.

"Bannie!" Caroline called. Bonnie looked at her friends and laughed.

"Shut up!" She giggled sitting at the table.

Kol entered the grill with a devilish smirk on his lips when he saw Bonnie and her friends. He was sure one of them would tell Bonnie he was at the door, more than likely Elena since she was the one who saw him come in, but nothing happened. He walked pass them and watched the three giggling girls continue their conversation. The bartender made his way to their table, Kol watched intently as Bonnie flirted with the serving bartender. The same look she once gave him, a surge of jealousy washed over him. She was flirting with a peasant when she had royalty five feet away from her.

"So Bonnie, do you have a boyfriend?" Eric asked boldly. Bonnie's cheeks turned bright red, she shake her head from left to right with a smile on her face.

"Unfortunately, why do you ask?" She answered, and then asked her own question.

"I'm not really one to ask a spoken for woman on a date?" He answered. Kol wanted to gag, how corny could a guy get and his powerful little vixen was falling for it. From what Kol was observing, she was now giving him her number or maybe it was the other way around, she was writing down something and he didn't like it, so he decided to walk over.

"Hello darlings, lovely night we're having don't you think?" Kol interrupted. Caroline and Elena's smiles faded when they laid their eyes on one half of the morons that hurt their best friend. Bonnie on the other hand was completely taken by Eric. He was charming, a breath of fresh air for her. She couldn't stop smiling, neither could Caroline or Elena.

"Kol, lovely to see you; now can we see you from far, FAR away." Caroline emphasized. Kol smirked at the blonde.

"After I talk to the lovely Bennett witch, I'll leave you girls alone."

"She doesn't want to speak with you, Kol. You broke her heart and as you can see, she's in the middle of a conversation with someone else." Elena chimed in. Kol dropped his shot glass in front of them, pulling them from their conversation.

"I have to get back to work, but I'll call you when I get off of watch." Eric promised as he walked away from the group. Bonnie smiled faded when she saw Kol.

"We tried to get rid of him," Caroline declared.

"It's fine, nothing can bring me down from the high." She laughed, downing one of the small shot of Vodka. "What do you want Kol?" She asked, Kol took the seat in between Bonnie and Elena and turned his gaze to his favorite.

"I was wondering if you're not busy, maybe you and I could go out on a date, maybe."

Bonnie scoffed and rolled her eyes. "You can't be serious right now," Bonnie shot; she looked at her girls, shaking her head.

"You can't still be upset about what Bonnie! It's been a year, for heaven's sake." Kol scolded.

"Of course I'm still upset, Kol! You turned me away and now you expect me just run into your arms and kiss you?!" She snapped.

"Well yeah," Kol said simply, all three girls stood up with drinks in their hands. They threw the clear liquid on Kol then walked away from him. Eric watched the whole thing from the bar and laughed, without realizing it; Kol and Damon would be doing all the work for him and all Eric had to do was play his position like a shortstop. The witches' coven he was a part of need a witch like Bonnie Bennett, fearless, selfless, strong and daring. Willing to do what she needed to do to protect the ones she loved. Eric could use someone like Bonnie in his life. He wouldn't say it out aloud but he was about to make her his. They would become the most powerful witch couple in existence. Kol wiped his face in anger and growled under his breathe.

"If you thought I'm letting you got that easily, Bonnie Bennett you're sadly mistaken." Kol scolded.
