Thank you all so much for the reviews and adds! This is the first part (of a two-parter) of a Valentine's Day story about our favorite couple :) I'll post the second part closer to the 14th. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Diaries, only this new guy that wants Bonnie.

Bonnie opened her locker and took out her English and Biology books. When she bent down to put them in her backpack she noticed a pair of white and blue Nike's beside her. Her head tilted up.

"Hi, Brian." She took in his tall, broad frame and his dirty blonde hair curling over his ears.

"Hey Bonnie, what's up?" A huge smile surfaced on her new admirer's face.

"Oh, nothing much. Just walking to class." Leave me alone. Cute, yet so annoying.

"Okay, well, where's that?"

"East Wing."

"That's where I'm going."

"I actually have to go to the office first," Bonnie said, turning to leave. "You go ahead, I don't want you to be late to class."

"Alright. I guess I'll see you around."

Hopefully not. As Bonnie hurried down the hall, banners promoting the Valentine's Day fundraiser surrounded her. Lovely, yet another reminder of my non-existent love life. One-sided crushes do not count as a love life.

Since it was Friday, people packed into the Grill. Bonnie stood near the pool table, watching as Jeremy and Caroline played against Stefan and Elena. Even though Jeremy and Caroline were only friends, she was still the odd one out. She sipped her soda and short dirty blonde hair caught her eye.

Oh no!

"Hi Bonnie!"

"Hey Brian."

"So I was wondering…would you like to go out on Valentine's Day?"

Bonnie's eyes widened. "Umm…" Her eyes scanned the vicinity. "I…um, thank you for asking, but I just started dating someone."

Brian's face turned pink, "Oh, I've never seen you with anyone…wait. Are you trying to get rid of me? Cuz I've never seen you with a guy at school that doesn't already have a girlfriend."

Thanks, just rub it in. "Well it's new and I haven't told many people." She looked over Brian's shoulder; Damon was headed in her direction from the bar. "And he doesn't go to our school."

Brian crossed his arms. "Hmmm." He doesn't believe me.

"Damon!" She sing-songed as he came closer.

Damon gave her a side-ways glance as she placed her hands on his chest.

"I was just telling Brian about our big Valentine's date! I'm so excited!" Bonnie smiled and looked up at him in adoration.

Mischief sparkled in Damon's eyes as he put his arms around her. "Oh yeah babe, it's going to be sooo romantic." His hand drifted south of her waist. "I can't wait till I can…."

Butterflies filled her stomach as Damon leaned in close as to kiss her. She playfully pushed him away. "Damon! Not in public."

"But it's so hard to keep my hands off you." He pretended to remember Brian was standing there. "Did you need something?"

"Uh, no. Bye." And Brian hurried away.

"Ugh. Thanks for that. He's so annoying. But trying to cop a feel? Not okay."

"Hey! I had to make it believable."

Bonnie rolled her eyes. "Sure. Thanks again. See you around."

Damon grabbed her arm as she turned to leave. "Not so fast Little Miss Witch. So what do you have planned for our date?"

"Excuse me?"

"We have to be seen together Valentine's Day. It will only further prove you have no interest in this guy."

"Absolutely not!"

"Huh. We'll see. Pick you up at 7, witch." Damon's eyes traveled up her tingling body. "And wear something tight."

Thanks for reading :)
