Chapter 4
The next morning
Bonnie woke up and looked around. It wasn't her room. All that happened yesterday came back to her mind and she widened her eyes. She looked on her side and saw Kai sleeping peacefully. She started to feel guilty. Jeremy cheated on her with his ghost vampire ex-girlfriend and she knew the pain it caused her. And yet she did the same to Kate. It wasn't right. She left the bed as quietly as possible. She didn't want to wake him up. She gathered her clothes and left the room. She almost got fully dressed. She picked what was left of her shirt and whispered a word. The shirt was as good as new again and she put it on. She disappeared and appeared on her front porch. She stumbled a little. Damnit, she was aiming for her room but she wasn't so good at this. Kai taught her but...
No, it wasn't safe to think about him right now. She took her keys and went in. Maybe Caroline wasn't here. The blonde vampire lived in the house with Bonnie for the summer because her own empty house was too depressing. She could have gone to the boarding house but she wasn't sure Stefan was ready for that. Bonnie closed the door.
Caroline : she appeared at the kitchen door Scandalous sex, anyone ?
Bonnie : So scandalous I think Kate might mind.
Her friend gasped but she didn't leave her time to say more. She went upstairs to take a shower.
With Kai
Without opening his eyes, he touched the space next to him. It was empty and cold. He frowned and opened his eyes. She wasn't there.
Kai : Bonnie ?
No one answered. Great, she left, he thought. He passed a hand on his face and sighed. He thought about Kate. His first relationship in almost 20 years and he managed to mess it up already. His mind drifted on Bonnie. Flashbacks of yesterday brought a smile on his face. The truth was he always had a crush on her but he never dared making a move until last night. Now he didn't know where they were standing.
Later
Bonnie came in the kitchen.
Caroline : So, on a scale from one to...
Bonnie : Eleven, maybe twelve.
Caroline : But you don't even know what I was going to ask.
Bonnie : Yes, I do. You wanted me to rate my night.
Caroline : Touché. I guess it was wild because I'm counting at least three hickeys on your neck.
Bonnie : she felt her cheeks burning up Well...
Caroline : I can't believe you slept with Kai.
Bonnie : Me neither.
Caroline : Pancakes ?
Bonnie : I'll pass she grabbed some cereal
Caroline : What did he say this morning ?
Bonnie : Um, nothing.
Caroline : You sneaked on him.
Bonnie : Yeah.
Caroline : Oh so this was the walk of shame, tsk tsk.
Bonnie : Don't tsk tsk me, you sneaked on Tyler too the first time.
Caroline : True. The one million dollar question is what about now ?
This afternoon
She left the groceries store.
Kai : You didn't even leave a note.
Bonnie : she saw a glint of hurt in his eyes Sorry.
Kai : I feel bad about Kate too, you know.
Bonnie : Yeah. Well, it was just one night. It's not like it's going to happen again, right ?
Kai : he hesitated but... Right he extended his hand Friends ?
Bonnie : Friends.
They shook hands.
