Elena left Jeremy at the bar to talk to Bonnie while he chatted with Matt. Sliding into the booth where Klaus was just previously sitting Elena pulled her hair behind her ears and exhaled deeply. "What was that all about?"
Closing her eyes momentarily Bonnie recapped all that he had said. "I honestly don't know." Opening her eyes once more she found Elena scrambling through her bag. "What are you doing?"
"I have to call Damon I mean Klaus is obviously up to something. We—have to find out what it is." The words rushed from her mouth as she still searched for her cell phone. Bonnie reached over and grabbed her forearm; squeezing gently to grab her attention.
"Elena," she spoke out softly. "You can't—besides Klaus didn't seem to be up to something. So what would be the point?" Elena finally stopped hunting and stared at her with glossy eyes.
"The point?" She questioned. "The point is that it's Klaus Bonnie. He's always up to something." Bonnie couldn't object to that; Elena definitely made a point. But yet she didn't want to risk starting unnecessary drama. Shaking her head no she removed her hand and fiddled with her fingers.
Biting on her lip she stared down at her hands. "Elena I know you think you're right. But the last thing anyone in this town needs right now is a suspicious Damon lurking after a relentless Klaus. I'm begging you—let me sift out things before you tell Damon or Stefan. Or even Caroline for that matter."
From the look on her face Bonnie knew that she had finally won over Elena. "Alright, fine. But you have to tell me the minute Klaus threatens you or anyone else." Smiling, Bonnie nodded her head once before popping another French fry into her mouth. "So what did you guys talk about?"
Taking a sip from her glass of water Bonnie let her eyes drift. "Nothing really, he never got to the point. To be perfectly honest I think—" Her voice trailed off as she thought about a few things he had said that really stuck out to her. "No that's ridiculous."
Elena's eyes widened as she listened to Bonnie talk to herself. "What? What's ridiculous? Bonnie?"
"It were almost as if her were—flirting with me."
"Flirting?" Elena gasped out.
"You heard me. It was like he was flirting or something. But that's impossible. Klaus doesn't flirt. Klaus doesn't talk without killing someone."
"Well what did he say exactly?" Elena questioned while stealing one of her fries.
Huffing lightly Bonnie took another sip of water before starting. "He said I looked ravishing. And called me love; but Klaus calls everyone love. And he could have just been hungry."
Nodding in agreement Elena exhaled and adjusted within her seat. "Typical Klaus. What makes you think he was flirting?"
"While we were talking I was still pretty shaken by his presence. So I asked him what he could possibly want with me he's already taken everything from me." Bonnie noticed the quick expression of sympathy fall over Elena's face. "Then he said he regrets doing all those things. And that after a thousand years it's easy to forget your humanity."
Elena sat up straight as an arrow and stared deep into Bonnie's green eyes. "He said that?"
"Yup," she answered unruffled. "I told him after as much blood as he's shed it's impossible to regain even a notion of humanity."
Slouching slightly she stole another fry and scrunched her brows together. "What did he say before he left?"
"He said it was lovely talking to me and that he hopes it won't be the last time." Shivering from the lingering remnants of his voice swirling in her head; she caught a glimpse of Jeremy who still sat at the bar. "How's he been?"
Elena followed her line of site before sighing. "He's been better, its hard getting him to shut up about you Bon. He really misses you."
She'd heard this a hundred times before yet it still left the same effect on her. "He kissed his dead vampire girlfriend. He can't possibly miss me more than he missed her." She said somberly while glancing once more in his direction. A smile burst across his face as he laughed at a joke Matt must have told. "And it is better this way."
"Is it really?" Elena questioned in disbelief. "Look Bonnie, I'm just as upset with him as you are."
"But you're not," She interjected. "He's your brother, you'll be upset and yell at him for a bit. Then you'll get over it because—"
"He's my brother." Elena sighed. "Well then just know for the time being I'm still pissed at him." Bonnie smiled in her direction and shook her head knowingly.
Shoving a few more fries into her mouth Bonnie gathered her things and put a ten dollar bill on the table. "It's been more than two months, you don't have to be. I've got to go but I'll see you at school tomorrow." As she headed toward the doors she made it her top priority to avoid Jeremy.
A/N: I'd just like to say I'm really surprised that this story has gotten so much buzz already. more than 100 views in its first day. You guys must really like Klaus and Bonnie stories. As do I. Any who, I hope you've enjoyed this chapter. As we can see Bonnie still cares for Jeremy she's just still extremely hurt. Therefore we may possibly see a bit of Bonnie and Jeremy. However I don't think it will be too much of a problem...
