Bonnie and Lucy's apartment
"Screw this, screw him and this job!" A fuming Bonnie screamed as she entered her cousin's room in a theatrical grand entrance way.
"You are quitting?" Lucy cocked an eyebrow before adding with a chuckled clearly amused "again, please what has he done this time, sending you pick blood bag and bourbon at 3A.M again or he pushed the farce further?" The woman with the tall stature asked expecting another funny story since the other Bennett witch has started to work for the Salvatore which has been two weeks ago; she threatened to quit her job every day until she received a call of her tormentor and would go back to her job like nothing even happen.
"Yes I am quitting, I am so tired of his antics. Today he just crossed another limit, he tried …" Bonnie was interrupted in her rant by her phone ringing. And like Lucy thought it would happen, it was a call from Damon. Lucy exploded into a laugh ready to repeat the never ending game her cousin played with her vampire soul mate .Those two had the worse type of flirting ever.
Bonnie shushed her with a raised finger before answering.
"What is it this time?" she shouted already exasperated and ready to lash out once again.
"Is it possible your salary has been cleared already Bonbon?" Damon asked mischievously, knowing the answer would shut her up.
"No but what is the correlation with you calling me right now" Bonnie asked unwillingly while expecting the next snarky remark.
"The correlation would be if that big mouth of yours is not muzzled I might fire your ass before you even get to see that first salary. Now can I talk to my sweet Bonbon?" He commanded calmly.
"Yes Mr. Salvatore how can I help you?" Bonnie responded to the threat biting her tongue whilst Lucy started laughing once again before Bonnie threw a pillow at her.
"A bit better anyway I need you back to the office and before you think about arguing, I don't care, so just come back." He hanged up not letting her the time to answer.
She sighed and picked her bag ready to explode before screaming "I am going to kill that asshole"
"Make sure it is painful once you do it and call me if you need help." Lucy screamed to a Bonnie standing in the building corridor before laughing until tears filled her eyes.
It has been two weeks since Bonnie had started working for the Salvatore and everyday her boss would find any stupid reason to bring her back to the office. And whatever protestation her cousin might have on the matter, Lucy was convinced she enjoyed being the center of the man's attention because she would fly at every call of him she received but later she would complain for hours. Those two were twisted, she thought.
After her first day of work, her cousin had came home fuming and cursing before revealing the tale of her day and how her soul mate was a vampire and an asshole who had the nerve to have a girlfriend to add insult to the offense. But what really stood out about the overall story is how she was more upset about the girlfriend than the fact he was a vampire. Bonnie since her epic fails with the original did not want anything to do with vampire.
And now that the girlfriend was back in the picture, the Bennett witch would comeback from her office and rant about conversations she would overhear all day to her cousin. But she would end everything with an "I don't care". Lucy had thought about pointing out that maybe she was jealous but she knew Bonnie would dismiss everything with a defensive attitude.
Salvatore and Salvatore law firm
Bonnie entered the almost empty building even Lisa the sweet blonde receptionist had left. Lost in her thought she bumped in a hard chest and raised her head and her eyes caught Stefan and Enzo. In the two weeks she really had grown fond of those two, Stefan was sweet, calm, a bit reserved but still caring. Thus every time he would stop at his brother's office , they would share a conversation and laughs before Damon burst out of his office to point out that Bonnie was there to work not socialize, pushing both of them to roll their eyes .
Bonnie bumped into Enzo chest and apologized. Her relationship with Enzo was flirty and they had a great chemistry. The man had made a habit to stop at Bonnie desk and shamelessly flirt with the caramel skin woman. Lately Damon would come and sit with them when the British vampire would stop by and he would regulate the conversation. But Bonnie would share lunch with Enzo probably if he was not a vampire the British accent and his hero hair would have got the best of her but now she was really considering this all no vampire policy.
"I am so sorry, boys but I have to rush" Bonnie apologized and was ready to walk toward the elevator when they both stopped her.
"Is Damon abusing his power, you know you can tell me" Stefan asked with a serious tone that made sure to support his word. He knew his brother had been overworking the girl. In the two weeks the young woman had been working for his brother, every night she would be called back and for any stupid reason Damon would find.
He was clearly suspecting that his brother might have a crush on the Bennett witch mostly because his brother behaved jealously toward anyone interacting with the young lady. Damon even asked him what his intentions with his Bonbon were. And when Stefan spotted light on the possessive title, his brother did not flinch and just emphasized "yes my Bonbon, my assistant, I don't want work drama. So you should back off." But the worse was his behavior with his best friend Enzo recently. Damon had turned into a cock blocker but Stefan would not be the one to tell the truth to his brother until the man made light of the situation on his own.
"What is the reason of this night call love, you look a bit tired darling" Enzo said as he pulled her chin up to observe her tired demeanor and Bonnie just smiled. As an alarm clock Damon appeared, the man must had a sixth sense because he had great timing to interrupt moments between those two.
"Bennett, you are not paid to be enamored with this bad boy. Let's get it moving" He snapped his fingers while his left arm was holding the elevator. Bonnie sighed and rushed to enter the elevator.
Stefan turned to Enzo and just said "you are in for trouble with Damon, if you keep that little thing up with Bonnie"
Enzo just laughed before responding "the lady is single, she is fair game and she seems into me"
"Tell that to Damon before he started asking for your head because you want his Bonbon" Stefan said putting her quotation on his Bonbon.
In the elevator Bonnie was avoiding to speak fearing her temper would get the best of her. She made a point to appreciate the beautiful view the glass elevator offered. New York was standing beautiful, enlightened and alive while she was once again stuck inside Damon's office. She loudly sighed and glared at the older Salvatore plotting his demise. But Damon was also looking at her with accusatory eyes. She gave him a puzzled look whilst cocking an eyebrow. She hoped he would stop staring but the man had it heavy on his mind and said his thoughts.
"Which one is your actual target Bennett, saint Stefan or bad boy Enzo? So the no vampire only applied to me?" The vampire asked harshly quite tired of the flirting and jealous for a reason he could not fathom.
"Wait, like you are seriously asking that? Where is this coming from?" Bonnie burst in a laugh, she could not start to understand what would lead to that question.
"There is nothing funny, Bon. So just answered or you want them both." The cyan eyes vampire pursued already innervated by her lack of answer.
"Hun, Hun you are pulling a jealous boyfriend on me now. Boy you are clearly overstepping but for the peace of your soul none of them." Bonnie looked at him like he had lost his damn mind.
'jealous please if there is someone jealous it is you." He said moving closer in her space almost stealing air from her.
The elevator was getting smaller for Bonnie. She might not want him but his body so close was a vivid reminder of what he could do to her body, two weeks was not long ago to wash away the best sex she had in her all life. Having his lips so close just made her want to kiss him. She hated the way she desired him and in the same time just wanted to kill him.
The door opened before she had to decide between reason and stupidity. She walked away while laughing "you wish, Salvatore you wish. I won't be jealous for someone like you. She can keep you"
Bonnie opened the door and found a pile of new cases on the floor all opened. Words were circle in multiple colors and she took a second look to the man and she noticed he was looking extremely tired. She sat on the floor removing her blue 6 inch high hills and not bothering to consider if her white wide leg pant would get cover in dirt and gave Damon her blue marine jacket to hang somewhere only having a crop black bustier under. She tightened her hair in a loose bun where some of her locks were hanging loose. She pulled a file and jumped straight in.
She had been wishing he would finally let her in the big work and today was the first time after all the coffee and blood bag. Damon had been reticent to let her in but after going through all these cases he was coming short. He had the strong instinct something was wrong but could not pin point what so he needed a new eye. He finally gave up and called Bonnie after all she was a solid assistant, her GPA was solid and her internship cases were impressive.
After multiple file the couple was getting tired and the coffee was not really helping. Bonnie was feeling pain in her shoulder. She winced and moved trying to find comfort somehow. Damon stood up and walked behind her and started massaging her caramel soft skin, detangling small knot in her shoulder girdle while his fingers worked magic around her back muscles. Bonnie moaned into the caress and leaned into him feeling her body relaxed. Comfortable enough she went back fishing on the file when her eyes widened and caught something.
She turned and smiled wildly before pecking his lips as the most natural thing on earth. Damon took it as a sign for more and kissed her. Bonnie wanted to push him back but her hand only helped her to pull him closer. He deepened the kiss and they started to kiss each other passionately when Bonnie came back to reason and shoved him unceremoniously with magic.
"No, not again what is wrong with you Damon?" she said exasperate while helping him to stand up
"Me like you are not the one throwing yourself at me .stop seducing me!" The vampire stated his truth.
She ignored him and picked the pile of case she went through and shoved it against his chest before walking to his desk and sitting on his chair whilst tapping on the desk for him to take the empty spot.
"You would want me even more after this but check the procedure of this following case, and the picture of the crime scene. I found the abnormal point. They are exactly the same. Not really but it looks like the work of the same individual." She looked at him waiting for him to catch up.
He rechecked the files at vampire speed and his smile widened. "Bennett you are a genius, but only these files are showing a pattern and all are from an anonymous client"
"Six files are showing a pattern and they all happened recently, so it is suspicious that they are all anonymous client. I know the firm as a possible anonymous policy until we accept to represent a client but only few use it. "Bonnie followed on Damon course of idea putting into word what his mind was arranging internally.
"This is big; we actually might have a serial killer who has been asking for our attention." Damon said putting one and one together.
"Oh we are calling the police; he has it now "Bonnie said standing up walking toward the phone when Damon stopped her.
"What is wrong with you? You are a witch and I am a vampire we can deal with it and this would be excellent for the firm." He said caring her back to the chair and pursued "he wants my attention. He has it "
Bonnie was less confident than him after all she was the one who knew that is life was in danger and having a serial killer seeking your attention was the exact way to find yourself in danger . She stood up put back her shoes and her jacket with a gesture that depicted her annoyance and the pissed state she was in. she was about to babysit a reckless vampire.
"We would talk about it tomorrow in the meantime don't start acting recklessly" she said staring straight in his eyes.
"Worried about me Bennett" Damon said smirking
"Yes, so you better behave. "She said locking the door ready to leave.
The vampire smiled at the touching care and picked his jacket suit ready to leave when he received a call from his girlfriend. He picked and braced himself from the complaint because once again he was late but he had to put up with work. And at this instant he was satisfied by work. He left his office satisfied.
It was Friday and Bonnie was still worried about their new big case while Damon was walking on clouds. This was his big case and he was having a meeting in his office with Stefan and Enzo about it while Bonnie was at her desk lost in her thought. Lucy made it to the floor where Bonnie and Damon offices where. Both offices were facing each other so she knocked on the wrong door and found herself facing a broody vampire.
"Can I help you miss" the chestnut-brown hair vampire asked taking a full view of the beautiful caramel lady standing in front of him.
Lucy swallowed and stared at the vampire for few second before getting her mind to work again.
"I think I got the wrong office, Bonnie Bennett I was supposed to meet her for lunch. Can you help me find her office" She politely said.
"Stefan Salvatore and what is the name of such a beauty" Stefan said charmingly getting the usually nonchalant young woman to blush
"Lucy Bennett but still need to find my cousin so where can I find someone who knows "
"Oh sorry I was taken by you and missed the question the first time, the office just behind you sweet heart" the broody vampire said flashing his dashing smile and pointing at the door on her back.
"Oh thank you, you are my hero" Lucy answered with a warm smile
"So does the hero get a number or a coffee even both" Stefan said seeing no reason to hold back
"Saint Stefan, stop being cheesy and let Bonbon cousin go. Your flirting attempt is embarrassing" Damon screamed from inside the room. If Stefan was not a vampire he would have blush and Lucy giggled at the obvious embarrassment before adding
"I am going to meet my cousin and if she said you are a decent vampire I would consider Mr. beautiful eyes." She smiled and entered the opposite door where she started jumping.
Bonnie raised her eyes and saw her cousin with a puzzled expression she asked.
"Why are you using the I am about to get it dance"
"Stefan" Lucy mouthed clearly trying to avoid the vampire in the other room to hear while she was using her hand to fan herself. "If his brother is half as fine then I get why you are dying" she continued mouthing before hugging her frowning cousin and pulling her so they could go and get lunch.
During the lunch, the Bennett girl were sharing their days and Bonnie was again ranting about "THE GIRLFRIEND" as Lucy liked to put it but also her new fear about this all new mystery while Lucy could not stop talking about Stefan and Bonnie had to hit her feet causing the tall mocha woman to scream
"Mini moi the fuck" she looked her cousin as she was losing her mind. Her cousin just used her mouth to indicate for her to look behind but she did not need to. She knew Stefan must be standing behind her. She mouthed a "thank you"
And Bonnie mouthed a "stop fangirling, before we both embarrass ourselves"
Few seconds later Enzo and Stefan were walking toward the two girls. Enzo made small talk with Lucy after Bonnie presented them and Stefan was still trying to convince Lucy to go for a coffee. The conversation moved to an upcoming barbecue that was supposedly organized by Damon's girlfriend for most of the firm employees but adequately Bonnie did not heard about it and it was the next day.
"So are you coming as my date, love "Enzo asked Bonnie with a heavy British accent. Bonnie had to consider, in one hand she was in no mood to meet her soul mate girl friend but in another hand her competitive side was coming out and the fact that the asshole tried to hide it from her was bending the scale in one direction.
"Oh I don't think so I have plan with Lucy and I don't want to leave this sweet cinnamon roll alone" Bonnie said using her cousin as an excuse.
"Oh it would be fine if I take her as my date so Lucy doesn't have to stay alone "Stefan jumped in ready to make use of the opportunity.
"Oh I don't want to impose "Lucy added seeing the struggle of her cousin
"No you are not imposing and I am getting the most beautiful date, all my pleasure" Stefan was being his charming self while Lucy was blushing as a teen
Bonnie reluctantly agreed and they continued their little lunch until the end of the break when Stefan decided to walk Lucy leaving Bonnie and Enzo. The rest of the day was pretty calm and for the first time Bonnie had an easy day of work.
Lucy was finishing her French braid while Bonnie was putting the last touch to her makeup. The two cousins were looking beautiful in their outfit since it was a barbecue they opted for a very comfortable outfit. Both girls were wearing snickers that highlighted how much Bonnie was a petite woman. They were also wearing denim shirt while Lucy had a white t-shirt inside and had a pair of kaki tight short show casing her leg. Bonnie was wearing a black denim shirt and a pair of dark blue skinny jean.
She stood rushing down because their taxi was waiting and gave the address of Damon's condo. After half an hour they were standing in front of Damon's door and Bonnie knocked the heart filled with apprehension. The door opened few second later and Bonnie eyes widened before she looked at Lucy. Bonnie smiled and finally spoke
"Lena what are you doing here?" Bonnie asked only half expected another answered but with her luck.
"I am the one organizing the party and you what are you doing here" Elena asked a bit taken by surprise.
"I am Damon assistant so I supposed you are his on and off girlfriends." The witch said not really wanting to sound mean but she could not stop herself she was pissed.
Lucy was observing the scene ready to add a snarky remark but Bonnie was already giving her a side eye. So she kept her mouth shut before moving inside the house and letting the two friends have a reunion. Elena hugged Bonnie who was already shaken and boiling with anger when her eyes met Damon and she moved out of the embrace. She walked inside the house and grabbed Damon arm pulling him away ready to beat his ass for putting her in another impossible situation with Elena.
