The last thing that she wanted to talk about was Stefan but her best friend, Caroline Forbes spotted the hickie on her neck and questioned her on it while they were at lunch with Elena. She's been careful about covering it up but she woke up late today and it must have slipped her mind. She hasn't seen or spoken to Stefan in four days and she nearly forgot about him until her blonde friend opened her mouth.
A part of her was glad simply because if she talked about him it may be easier to forget him instead of bottling up her feelings and try to lock it in a sealed place in her mind.
Bonnie didn't go into too much detail, she didn't even mention his name, but only the fact that she thought they had a connection but it was like his flip switched and he was another person.
"What made the flip be switched?"
"I kind of invaded his privacy but I honestly didn't mean to and I told him that and apologized but he was still angry at me."
"So you looked through his phone or something?"
"Well I was checking something and then he got a message and I read it without really even thinking and he caught me."
"Oh…" Elena finally spoke, "Well I think he'll get over it. As you said, you both have a connection and he admitted that he liked you so he should look past that especially since you apologized."
"Yeah, it sounds to me that he needs to stop being a little bitch and get over it."
The girls laughed including Caroline who said it. After lunch, Bonnie decides to skip her last class and gladly so because she sees Stefan's motorcycle parked in the driveway. Sucking in a breath, she parked and walked up the short flight of stairs unlocking the door and stopped once she stepped inside seeing Stefan on the couch watching TV like he owned the place.
"What if it was my dad and not me?"
"Is that supposed to be some type of joke?" Bonnie told him that she barely saw her father so he couldn't believe those words escaped her pretty mouth.
"What do you want, Stefan?"
He shut off the television and walked over to her standing as close as he did the last time he saw her. He hated that he scared her, it honestly wasn't his intention, but the ripper surfaced and just the smell of her blood alone had him thinking dark things.
He likes her and if he wanted what's best for the both of them, he'd leave her alone, but he can't. He isn't going to vocally apologize either, but he hoped kissing her would get the point across, so that's what he does, he kisses her gently and pulls away meeting their foreheads and his hand moves to the side of her face.
"I'm sorry." He didn't mean to say but whispered it anyway.
Her eyes bore into his before she kisses him and wraps her arms around his neck. She pulls away and hugs him sighing when he squeezes her and buries his head in the crook of her neck.
"I want you to ask me for permission."
Stefan stills and pulls away to look into her eyes and shakes his head. "I don't think that's a good idea."
"I think so. My blood does something to you, it makes you somewhat angry because you haven't fully tasted it yet, so I want you to ask for my permission."
He feels his fangs inch down from his gums by just the thought of it, but he holds them back. "Can I drink your blood?"
"Yes."
He has to calm himself so he kisses her again and shortly moves his lips to her cheek and down to her neck feeling the pulsing vein thump against his lips and that's when he does it.
Bonnie opens her mouth at first contact figuring that all she would feel would be the pain but it was anything but. She heard him moan at the taste and he pulls her in closer and as she feels herself grow weak, he pulls away breathing deeply and runs his tongue over her wounds.
Stefan stumbles over to the couch and lays back staring at the ceiling seeing stars. He both regrets and he's glad that he took that much, his body feels as if he's having a seizure but only internally, exterior wise, he's the same as he's always been.
Once Bonnie found her strength, she walked over to him to lay on him. His arm rests on her back the bites his wrist offering her it.
"What are doing?"
"It's to help you heal faster. Drink."
She narrowed her eyes and before he healed, Stefan put it to her mouth forcing it. Bonnie drank some then pulled away wiping her mouth but then realized that it didn't taste all that bad.
"Your blood," Stefan says after a while, "don't ever let me drink it again. Other than when we're having sex."
She smiles and rests her head back on his chest. He kisses her head then lifts her in his arms taking her upstairs until night falls and she's asleep.
Stefan returns home heading into the kitchen before turning to walk somewhere else when he sees that his brother is inside.
"Hey, where do you think you're going?" Damon calls out.
"Away from you."
"What's up, I've barely seen you lately and you smell like a girl and blood."
"Do you honestly care, Damon?"
He shrugs and sits down and Stefan sighs looking away.
"I… met someone." He shrugged.
"Ah, Stefan Salvatore in the dating game again. Who is she?"
"That's none of your business." He says then speeds up to his room.
Damon speeds up to his little brother's room as well. "So how long have you two been dating?"
"Don't make me regret telling you, Damon."
"What? I can't learn about my baby bro's new chick?"
"She's not even mine, we're just hanging out."
"So she's free to…hang out with me?"
Damon smiles as his back is slammed against the wall and his brother's hands are gripping his collar.
"Touch her, you die."
"Easy, brother." Damon pushes him off. "I'm just having a little fun, but now that I have her scent, maybe I might have a little more fun." He winks then walks out of his room.
Stefan feels his anger flare then realized that Damon might actually find Bonnie and steal her then rub it in his face chanting that he got the girl like she's some sort of prize to be won at the end of a competition.
He speeds over to his dresser digging in deep in his drawer until he finds a wooden box and opens it letting out a breath that the bracelet is still there. He puts the box in his pocket and heads over to Bonnie's making sure that he's not being followed.

Bonnie steps out of the bathroom with her robe tied to her body on the phone with her father. It was late and after she woke up with Stefan not there, she decided to wash up to relax a little. It hit her as he was drinking from her that she was with a vampire, that she was potentially dating a vampire and it was scary.
She gasps when she feels a breeze and sees Stefan standing in front of her.
"Yeah, I'm fine, dad. I'll call you in the morning… Love you too, bye." She ended the call. "Jeez, Stefan, you almost gave me a heart attack."
"I didn't mean to scare you."
Bonnie stands and folds her arms under her chest. "What are you doing here?"
"Well damn, I guess I'll just leave."
"Wait, I didn't mean to say it harshly, I'm just a little tired and I get cranky."
"Well let's go to sleep then." He says surprising her.
Bonnie watched as he removes his hoodie and shirt before walking up to her moving her arms to her side and untied the knot of her robe and lifted a brow seeing the violet lingerie set she was wearing. He looked up to look into her eyes but remembers that she's tired so he sighs and removed the robe completely and lifts her setting her on the bed and he gets in beside her.
She kisses him and he moves his hand to hold her ass in his hand squeezing pulling her lower half in close. He loves the feel of her hands on his chest and abs before she pulls away but he leaves his hand where it is and kisses her neck glad the puncture wounds have healed then he kissed her lips once more then her forehead closing his eyes.
Bonnie smiles and wraps an arm around him closing her eyes as well falling asleep almost immediately.

Bonnie wakes up to meet his green eyes and soon her vision was clouded with her wrist and she noticed that it was no longer bare but it had a bracelet with a charm. She sat up and looked at it closely smiling when she saw a heart that was filled with something that she couldn't make out.
"It's vervain," Stefan says seeing her face. "It's one of vampires weaknesses so to speak. It burns to the touch, it also prevents us from compelling you so you should wear it."
"Wouldn't it hurt you?"
"When we're getting freaky you can take it off."
She chuckled. "Thank you."
She kissed him and he stopped his smile and kissed her back. "Why didn't you save this outfit for me?" Stefan pulls the covers back.
"I enjoy going to sleep feeling sexy. Don't worry, I have plenty more."
Stefan raises an eyebrow biting his lip then kisses her again. "I expect something tonight, please."
"Ah, good boy. I like a man who minds his P's and Q's."
Before he could kiss her again, she gets out of bed and his eyes follow her over to the dresser where she stops and puts on a black bra and panties then walks over to her closet pulling out a skirt.
"Are you going to school?"
"Yes."
"Are there men in your classes?"
Bonnie smiles as she pulls the skirt up her legs. "Yes."
"Then you can't wear that skirt."
"Excuse me?"
"Or at least wear something longer."
"Why?"
"Because it's short, Bonnie, damn. You're with me and I think you should respect me a little by putting on a longer skirt."
"Who says I'm with you?"
He growls and speeds up to her. "I say so."
He sees her smirk then stands on her toes to whisper in his ear. "Fine."
He slaps her ass then walks downstairs leaving Bonnie smiling searching through her clothes deciding to wear jeans instead and a loose shirt and heads downstairs. Stefan throws her an apple which she catches and makes her sit on his lap.
"Listen," Stefan says after kissing her, "I like you, okay. This is… new to me, so I know that I'll be a little dick-ish, but I have my reasons."
"So are you saying that you're with me?"
He rolls his eyes. "I don't think you understand how much you frustrate me."
She chuckles. "Is that a yes?"
He lets out a breath. "I don't like to be claimed."
"But you like claiming other people?"
"You're the only person that I have claimed in a long ass time, so I think that should tell you how I feel."
Bonnie narrowed her eyes then let out a breath, "Fine, I'll take it. Jackass."
"Baby, save the rough talk for tonight." He growls then kisses her.
She chuckles. "Your place or mine?"
"Yours." He answers mindful of Damon.
Usually, he wouldn't care, but since he and Bonnie are some-what dating now, he wants her to become his secret knowing that Damon has a history of destroying his happiness.
Bonnie feeds him a few bites of the apple and she finishes the rest tossing it in the trash before walking outside. She locks the door then hands Stefan the keys to her SUV so he could drive her.
"Who are you texting?" Stefan asks from behind the wheel.
For most of the car ride, she was on her phone typing away and whoever was texting her back made her smile on multiple occasions. She even discreetly laughed a few times and it was starting to bug him.
He blamed it on her blood, he should have never drank from her, but he was so tempted and the fact that she was willing made it all the more tempting. With the first gulp, he felt different but he never thought it would turn him into some jealous freak.
Bonnie looks over at him and catches his eyes quickly as he looks at her then back on the road. She thought about having a little fun with this but decided against it not wanting him to be too angry at her.
"My friends who are girls… Are you gonna be the jealous type or is this only temporary since we're still fresh?"
"It's going to be what it's going to be, Bonnie, I don't know."
She turns in her seat to face him more. "You're so hot and cold today, what's wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong, everything's just fine… We're here."
"Are you not going to walk me inside?" He doesn't answer, just continues to look forward causing her to roll her eyes. "Whatever, Stefan."
He sighs hearing the car door shut then taps his fingers on the steering wheel a few before he gets out and catches up to her.
"Wait, I'm sorry, I'm just a little… hungry."
"Oh,"
"Your blood is the best I have ever tasted and it should and quite frankly the amount I took should've filled me up, but there are things about my past that you don't know which makes me different from other vampires."
It was somewhat weird having this discussion like it was normal but it was anything but.
"Tonight," she moved her hands to the sides of his face, "you can drink from me when we're alone in my room, alright?"
He nods looking in her eyes and kisses her before pulling away to grab her hand walking her to class.
-::-
His mouth waters as she steps out of the bathroom in a navy blue piece. His palms itch wanting to have his lovely girlfriend in his arms ASAP, but he waits it out watching as she puts on a little show for him.
Her body shakes and turns causing him to want to break out of the chains that hold his arms up, and even though he easily could, he doesn't.
One month. It's been one month since they've met and even though their relationship is still a secret from their friends, and in Stefan's case his brother, they feel themselves becoming closer each day.
Bonnie feels herself mature quickly being with a guy as old and wise as he and it causes her to really think things over and appreciate the things that she has now and the way that technology progressed, but the one thing she isn't thankful for is the gas prices.
Stefan feels younger being with Bonnie, she took him places and forced him to try things that he would otherwise ignore and not bother to even try. She was like his breath of fresh air, the key to his youth. He was stuck in his seventeen year old body so it's about time he'd start acting like a teen again or at least his early twenties like Bonnie. His love has started to fade from the nonexistent Katerina Petrova and is moving on to the very beautiful Bonnie Bennett.
"Are you ready, Stefan?" She asks crawling between his legs.
Before he has a chance to respond, their lips meet and as she moved to straddle his lap, his lips move to her chest then eagerly back to her lips. Bonnie's hands move in his hair and Stefan pulled back hissing.
"Are you going to take that bracelet off anytime soon?"
"I think I should keep it on just for fun."
Stefan shakes his head and Bonnie screams then giggles as he rips out of the chains and holds her in his arms moving her to her back.
It wasn't like they were completely hiding their relationship from the world, they would go out in public all the time but surprisingly Bonnie never ran into her friends.
Stefan however still wanted to keep Bonnie away from Damon even with the vervain. He knew that his older brother had charms that somehow women couldn't resist. It would start out as a friendship and before he knew it he'd find them in bed and that's when all hell would break loose.
"Ow, Stefan!" Bonnie moved her hand out of his and massaged it.
"Shit, I'm sorry." He said grabbing her hand then kissed it.
"Did I do something wrong to make you crush my hand?"
"No, I was just thinking about something and I didn't realize."
"What were you thinking about?"
"I don't want to talk about it."
Bonnie sighed. She's learned to not question him about it any further because it would make him more upset.
They stopped walking when they reached her first class and she noticed that a worried expression was on his face and it caused her to think the worse. Was he breaking up with her?
"Baby, I need to tell you something."
She folded her arms under her breasts, "What?"
He looked over at the student that walked by them and smiled a little before looking back at her. He saw the worried look on her face so he moved his hand to the side of her face and kissed her once.
"I love you."
Her eyes widened some and she searched his. "You do?" He nods and she smiles. "I love you too."
Stefan grabs her in his arms meeting their lips and her arms wrap around his neck. Bonnie pulls away for air then smiles as she jumps in his arms, hugging him. He moves his hand vertically along her back and squeezes her tight.
"I should go." She stretches out her legs.
"I expect you to be a good girl. Pay attention, get those A's."
Bonnie laughs and kisses him once before walking in. Stefan for the first time watches her as she goes inside and finds a seat next to another girl. He assumes that they're friends on how they immediately get into a conversation and that's when he decides to leave.
