The veterinary clinic is hot and stuffy, the sounds and smells of all the different dogs, cats and who knows what else are beginning to grate on Jeremy's nerves. Pulling on his thin but hot sweatshirt he tries to let in a little cool air wondering how long it would take till the vet saw Stitch, his bullmastiff. She was going on three years now. And was the love of his life. Who would have thought that he Jeremy Gilbert, previous town screw up would be able to look after an animal so demanding for so long, he mused to himself.
He looks around at the other animal owners in the waiting room, wondering if he would recognise any of them, wondering if any of them recognised him, it had been what…4-5 years since he left Mystic Falls. Yeah he visited on and off for a while, to check up on his sister…and stuff, but hardly ever interacted with people human or otherwise.
Before his thoughts could carry him to that dark space he often went to, the space where rejection and failure was a constant reminder of his former self that he was forever trying to run away from, He hears his name being called by the vet. Signing he stands up and nudges the heavy dog that had been asleep at his feet. Frowning as he walks trying to clear his head of the bitter memories makes him oblivious to all around him, so he doesn't notice the handful of females that watch his every move with predatory smirks, and maybe that was a good thing. He wasn't interested in random hook-ups anymore; he had exhausted that phase of his life when he left his home town so long ago.
Twenty minutes later, Jeremy heads towards the exit door of the vets, happier now that Stitch was just miserable from the change of environment and not as sick as he feared. He tries to go round another person who was trying to enter the vets but seemed to be struggling with a stubborn pet. The person had their back to him so he can't see who it is but he guesses her to be female judging by the whine in her voice as she tried to coax a massive St. Bernard dog in.
Hearing muttered threats and cusses he chuckles and decides to step in. ''Here, let me help-'' his head snaps back, the smile disappearing on his face as he locks eyes with none other than Bonnie Bennett. ''- Uhh Bonnie, hey! Been a while, umm…how you been?'' Jeremy stutters.
Bonnie has to blink a couple of time to be sure he was real and not another one of her visions. Breathing in his cologne and noticing his every eye movement she becomes satisfied that the 'real' Jeremy is standing before her. She smiles up at him in greeting. Was he always so tall, she questions herself? Now that she knows Jeremy Gilbert is really standing in front of her she grows self-conscious, it is stupid she knows but she runs her tongue over her lips to moisten them and tries to discreetly pull her top straight, causing him to draw his eyes to the movement. His eyes widening at the little bump that strains against her top.
Dumbfounded Jeremy drops the St Bernard's leash he had taken from her petite hands. Sensing his freedom; the canine takes off down the street. ''Damn, it took me like an hour just to get him to the door. Milo! Milo, come back!'' Bonnie calls exasperatedly, turning away from Jeremy's scrutinizing stare.
'' Hey Look Bonnie, take it easy, I'll find him, he's names' Milo right? You look like you need to sit down or something.'' Jeremy moved to help her sit down but hesitated, changed his mind and ran off down the road with his dog in search of her dog. Wondering how he always manages to look like a fumbling idiot around 'her'.
