A/N: I know I'm late on posting, but I had alot of things to do. If you have NOT seen last weeks episode and don't want spoilers then DON'T read ahead. I hate when people keeping dissing on Bamon. They say Damon hates her, but I don't think it's true. In the past couple episodes he keeps saying that he would 'let Bonnie die' and stuff like that. I say he's only saying it because he's too focused on saving Elena. I think Damon cares about Bonnie, but just not as much because he didn't get to know her yet and because for some reason he's to hooked up on Elena. What the heck is wrong with Damon? I say he's crazy. I don't think Elena's that great...but whatever. I know that by season three that Damon and Bonnie probably will grow closer. VD can't just revolve around Damon trying to get Elena all day, so I say Bonnie and Damon will happen. I'm also mad because the past couple of episodes they didn't show Bonnie. We all know that Bonnie is okay, but I think they should have showed Bonnie to see what she was up to. In my opinion, the episodes are kind of boring with out her in them. Does anyone else feel the same way?
My awesome reviewers: kisha96, kittieyez, jellybeans, supertoast, kiki-anthony, stefanswifey01, itisjustmyself, I am Bonnie Salvatore, and Nightfall12!
kisha96: Glad you liked it! Thanks for the review. :)
kittieyez: Haha, thank you so much for the review. I actually didn't have it planned that the look-a-like was their son. But you actually gave me a good idea.
jellybeans: Happy that you liked the chapter. The shower scene was fun to write. I'm glad that Bonnie found out that someone's after her, it makes things easier. I love the mind sharing between Bonnie and Damon. It's like their own little trick that noone else knows about. The only ones who know that Damon and Bonnie are dating is Caroline, Elena, Stefan and her dad and the stalker person lol, but people will probably figure it out. Thanks for the review!
supertoast: Bamon rocks! lol kittieyez also said that she thinks it would be cool if Simon was some how their son. You guys actually gave me a pretty good idea about that. I think that Simon will some how tie into being their son..or something like that. Thanks for the idea and the review! Oh I also like your user name. lol
kiki-anthony: I'll try updating more soon next time. I'm glad you're liking the story and the plot so far. You'll know why Simon looks like Damon as the story progresses because I don't even know why yet. lol. I was also very mad when Damon said he would let Bonnie die for Elena and he would always choose Elena. I wanted to jump in the t.v. and slap him until he came to his senses. But I do have to say that if you go on youtube there's a video where someone munipulated the scene to make it look like Damon was saying the words to Bonnie instead. It's a very good video where it looks like he actually did say it to Bonnie. I know I'm rambling, but the video made my day and it looked so much better when Damon was saying he would allow Elena to die and he would always choose Bonnie. lol. Thanks for the review! :)
stefanswifey01: Hmm I really don't know yet about Caroline and Stefan. Stefan does care for Caroline, but not in the girlfriend type way. I have no idea what's up with Elena acting like a little school girl. Let's just say that she didn't tell Sam she didn't have a boyfriend on purpose...*whistles*..You're going to have to wait to see who's giving Bonnie the flowers. It's a story, so I have to try to build it up. You'll definately have to wait and see if Simon and the guy Caroline met are vampires. Haha I loved writing the shower scene it! Thanks for the review! :)
itisjustmyself: Happy that you liked the chapter! Yeah, Sam and Simon do have a secret, but hey I don't even know what it is yet. thank you, I really didn't know that I did that good of a job of Bonnie and Damon..I just write stuff. I'll try updating soon, but I do have to work on my other Bamon's..but I'll try! Thank you for the nice review.
I am Bonnie Salvatore: Yeah, I can tell you that Simon isn't interested in Bonnie. Hmm Elena, I don't even know. haha, I can tell you that no guy is going to pose a threat to Damon. ;)
Nightfall12: Really happy that you liked the chapter. I had so much fun writing the bar hopping scene and when Damon was trying to explain the birds and the bees. haha. I'll try updaing soon! Thanks for the review.
I tossed back and fourth, pulling the covers up to my chin. Beads of sweat rolled down my face. I popped my eyes open, my mouth itching, craving for what I wanted-no needed the most. Before I had drunk a cup of blood, but that was about a day and a half ago. I tried ignoring the calls, tried numerous times to be normal, but I...couldn't. I rolled over, seeing an empty spot where Damon was sleeping just an hour ago. The moon was still high in the sky, the darkness lurking about, and yet Damon was gone. Where did he go?
I tugged at the covers tighter, now peering around the huge, dark room. There was a small slit in the curtains where the moon-light peeked through, but that was it. It was like one of those creepy movies where a shadow would pass by the window to taunt the victom. And guess what? I was probably going to be the victom. I felt my heart pounding against my chest, bucketfuls of sweat drenching my body. I looked about the room every which-way. How could Damon leave me at a time like this? When he knew I was scared? I swallowed a dry lump in my throat, trying to calm myself down, but the blood crave was to much. I dug my nails into the matress, telling myself to not get out of bed, to fight the erge of blood. I closed my eyes, chanting over and over again that it was going to be okay. The other half of my brain was telling me the exact opposite. My lips began to quiver and twitch, my mouth as dry as a bone. I felt like I was being drained, my insides litterally felt like they were on fire. I bit down on my hand, knowing that I was going to scream any minute, any second.
I ripped the blankets off of me, placing my feet flat on the cold floor. It was like my body had a mind of its own. It's like I didn't want to do this, but it felt so right. I stood up slowly, licking my dry lips, my mouth aching even more. Before I was about to take my first step, that's when I felt his presence, his aura.
"What are you doing out of bed?" I watched the blue-eyed vampire peer out of the darkness with a glass in his hand. My nastrals flared as I eyed the cup, my lips quivering uncontrolably. I ran up to the vampire, grabbing the cup and chugging the substance down. I tried licking every last drop out of the glass. Every last aching drop that I could muster. It wasn't enough. I threw the glass down, shattering it on compact. Instead I focused on the vampire in front of me. His eyes were big and blue, his face expression in shock.
I instantly found my lips latched onto the vampire's neck. Trying to suck the blood right out of him. I hooked myself onto him, scratching and clawing at his face before I was shoved onto the bed. My hair was disheaveled, nostrals flaring. What was I becoming? Damon hovered over me, nothing but seriousness plasted onto his chiseled features.
"Bonnie control yourself." He said it sternly as if I were some kind of animal that needed to trained. It was true, that's what I was..an animal.
Captured In a Haze: Chapter 4 The Sweet Peas
I woke up, my heading aching to the max. I put a hand up to my head, trying to make the hurting stop. To top it off, my vision was bright, making my eyes hurt and flash as if I had just got done watching that Kanye West music video. I groaned, peering around at a messy and unorganized bedroom.
"Wha..what happened?" I stated outloud to myself. It was weird, I didn't remember a thing. Everything seemed like a blur.
"You happened." I cocked my head to the right, seeing Damon lounging in a near-by chair. I tried sitting up, but failed when I realized that I was to weak.
"What do you mean I..happened?" I peered around the room, spotting the remains of a shattered glass on the floor. I wiped a hand over my face, still feeling groggy.
"Last night I went to go get you some blood to drink and you went all bezerk on me. I scratched my head, blinking my eyes repeatedly.
"What? I don't..remember a thing.." I scrunched my brows. It was all to confusing. Damon was telling me that I had went crazy last night when he came in to bring me some blood to drink? I wouldn't do that, I didn't do that..did I?
"Yeah...and the weird part was..." He trailed off, staring into space, irritating me by not finishing the sentence.
"The weird part was.." I gestured with my hands, erging him to continue. He slowly averted his blue orbs to me, tilting his head to the side, still in thinking mode.
"The weird part was..you seemed to have more than blood cravings. You tackled me with vampirc speed." My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. I clasped a hand over my mouth, trying to handle all of this new information.
"And to think I was in a happy mood last night, coming to bring you a nice steaming cup of blood. Pssh. Well not anymore Bennett. I rolled my eyes, getting more and more agrivated.
"Damon this isn't funny. I..I need to get control over this or something bad could happen." I was afraid. But Damon was always the over dramatic one..wasn't he?
"Captain obvious, I know that. Since it seems like you're a vampire-witch-human-supernatural-being-thing, you'll have to stay home from school for a couple of days."
"Wait what? Oh my gosh what time is it?" My eyes skipped to the clock on the wall. The numbers screaming 'you're late for school.'
"Damon why didn't you tell me? I'm going to be late for school!" I jumped out of bed quickly, heading to the bathroom when Damon appeared in front of me in less than a second.
"Bonnie.." He did that thing with his accusing oceanic eyes.
"Damon move out of the way." I swatted at his arm that was blocking the entrance.
"I. Have. To. Get. To. School." With each word I hit his arm, but it had no effect. Why couldn't me turning into a vampire-human-witch-thing give me super strength?
"You want to not kill someone today? You're not going to school." He deadpanned the last part as if it were obvious. I finally stopped hitting his arm, bowing my head low to the ground and groaning. He was right, I couldn't go to school today..not in my condition.
"What's going on in here? Is everything okay?" I turned around quickly to find a scared Stefan.
"Everything's fine Stef." Damon stepped in front of me, blocking total view from the younger Salvatore.
"Don't you ever knock? Bonnie and I could have been doing stuff and you just bardge in? Where's your manners little brother?"
"I thought I heard fighting." I stepped from behind Damon, giving Stefan a sympathetic look.
"Sorry. I was just mad. I can't go to school." Damon took me by the shoulders pushing me out of the way.
"Next time I want you to knock even if you hear fighting." I sighed, Damon just wouldn't let this go. Stefan crossed his arms, leaning up against the door frame.
"Even if the house is on fire?"
"Exactly." The sarcasticness dripped off of his tongue.
"Wait Stefan why arn't you in school?" I raised a brow wondering why Damon's little brother wasn't with Elena or Caroline in case something bad happened. I watched Stefan scrunch his brows.
"Bonnie..you do know that it's Sunday right?" My eyes litterally did a three sixty spin, almost leaping out of their sockets.
"What! What do you mean it's Sunday? Today's Thursday!" I panicked, going to my cell phone to look at the date. I clicked the little buttons furiously to find that it was in fact Sunday.
"Bonnie didn't Damon tell you? You were out for about three days." I turned to the eldest Salvatore, my insides flaming with fury.
"You didn't tell me that I was out for three days?" I walked closer to Damon, each step stalker-like. Damon flashed his eyes toward Stefan.
"Stefan why did you tell her? I didn't want her to get upset..at this momment." Stefan casually shrugged, his face seemingly to be amused toward his brother.
"Damon why was I out for three days?" The blue-eyed vampire put his hands up in defense and shrugged.
"I don't know. It must of had to do something with...something.."
"Damon didn't tell you that he vervained you?" Damon snapped his neck toward Stefan fiercely, giving him an angry glare.
"You did what to me?" I was beyond ferious now. He vervained me? What about the baby? It was part vampire after all.
"When the heck were you going to tell me all of this?" I stomped a foot down, staring into his eyes. I wanted to know the truth and I wanted it now. I wanted to know why he didn't tell me first thing I woke up.
"I didn't want you to worry." He took another lazy glance toward his smirking brother.
"You can leave now Stefan. Buh-bye. Thanks for stopping bye." Damon waved his hand carelessly, shoving out Stefan and shutting the door.
"So that's why I can't remember.." I shook my head back and fourth, finding myself sitting on the side of the bed. Damon sat down next to me, trying to touch my arm, but I shrugged him away.
"I was that bad that you had to vervain me?." I looked up at my vampire boyfriend with sad eyes. I was that bad that he had to vervain me? The same thought kept running through my mind non stop. Damon got up, picking up a glass and drinking the substance.
"Well you weren't that bad.." I raised a brow, crossing my arms in front of my chest.
"Damon I know you're lying. I know what you're thinking remember?" The vampire rolled his eyes and radiated off a sigh.
"Then why did you ask?"
"Because I shouldn't have to read your mind to get an answer." He set the glass down, looking me square in the eye.
"Bonnie you want to know the truth?" I nodded my head eagerly. Damon krept up and kneeled down in front of me, brushing a stray piece of hair out of my face in the process.
"You were that bad. Vervain was the only way to stop you." My lips quivered, not knowing what to say.
"I gave you a low dose, but it should be out of your system by now. It shouldn't of hurt the baby." I gave him a stern look.
"Okay that much." I suddenly quirked my head up, realization hitting me.
"Wait you said the vervain's out of my system. How can it be out of my system if I was sleeping?" A smile formed at the crack of Damon's mouth. He stood up, leaning up against the wall.
"You know how when sometimes little kids pee the bed?"
"I..peed the bed?" He took his index finger and thumb, gesturing that I indeed peed a little bit.
"If you want to get technical...you did more than pee if you know what I'm saying." I looked down at my attire, realizing that I was in different clothes than the last time that I was awake. I stood up, walking toward the amused vampire.
"And who might I ask took advantage of me?" His blue eyes twinkled, his smile growing bigger.
"This guy right here." He tapped his chest, his pearly whites shining.
"But I made Stefan clean the bed and change the sheets. I don't like getting me hands dirty." I was now face to face with the sarcastic supernatural.
"Sounds like to me Mr. Salvatore that you already got your hands dirty when you stripped me down." I shot up an arched brow.
"Would you've rather had me and my hot self might I add, or Stefan the low-life vampire change you, bath you, and rub your little tummy?"
"You rubbed my stomache?"
"No, but wouldn't you've wanted me to?" I playfully slapped the vampire whilst rolling my eyes.
"So I missed about three days huh?" Damon walked behind me, snaking his arms around my waist.
"Yes Bonnie. And you better thank God you did." I turned my head upward, giving the vampire a quizical look.
"What why? What happened?" My heart sped up, not knowing if the news were going to be bad or good.
"Stefan and his complaining. He just wouldn't shut up. You better of not killed Bonnie this, you've better of not killed Bonnie that. He just kept repeating the same phrases which I might add were intirely useless."
"They were intirely useless because?" Damon faced me, grabbing my cheeks and pinching them.
"Because I knew my wittle Bon Bon was still alive, we're connected wemember?" He squished my lips together like a fish. I swatted his hand away.
"Where's Elena and Caroline? Did they say anything about school while I was gone? Did they get anymore information on Simon or-" A pale finger found there way to my lips, following a shushing sound.
"Bonnie calm down. You're going to go take a shower. When you're done you're going to go find Stefan and tell him that I'm the better brother." I crossed my arms over my chest.
"Really Damon? Really? You're trying to compel me." I slapped the crazy vampire on his arm.
"What? It was worth a try." I rolled my eyes, going to the closet to pick out an outfit for the day.
"Elena and Blondie are down stairs by the way. They've been torturing me all day." I fingered through shirts, stopping at a bright green one.
"I doubt that Damon. Arn't you the one who tortures people?"
"Touche witch." I grabbed the green shirt, quickly grabbing a pair of dark blue jeans in the process. I then turned around, Damon casually laying down in the bed, his eyes focused on me.
"Is there a reason that your devil-looking eyes are staring at me like I'm a piece of meat?" I playfully grinned, my boyfriend wavering off his cute little smirk that he always did.
"Oh it's nothing." I squinted my eyes, trying to figure the mysteriously hot creature out.
"I know you're thinking about something." Of course I knew Damon was thinking about something. When he always smirked like an idiot and his blue eyes sparkled. That was a for sure sign that something was going through his gorgeous head of his. But I couldn't read his thoughts. It was as if he were blocking them or something.
"Oh I'm not thinking about anything." I put my clothes in one hand, putting my free hand on my hip.
"Oh come on Damon. Especially when you do that sarcastic word stretch thing. I know something's up."
"Bonnie there is absolutely nothing up." Now I knew he was doing that on purpose. I shrugged my shoulders. When he had his guard down I would read his mind.I converted my eyes to the stand next to the bed, seeing the boquet of Sweet Peas along with a gold fish floating in the bowl. I set my clothes down on the bed, walking over to the vase filled with the flowers. I touch the flowers, dillydallying with them whilst talking.
"I never did tell you thank you for the flowers." I heard Damon sigh.
"No, you didn't."
"Did you get me these flowers?" I looked over, Damon looking at me as if he were suspicious.
"Yes Bonnie I did. Your little rose on the other hand is not my style." There was a knot in my throat.
"So...you..didn't get me the Lily...either?" My words came out slowly, them weighing down my tongue with worry. I watched Damon, his eyes squinting, him getting up off the bed.
"I thought that I had made it clear that I didn't get you those flowers." I tried taking a swallow, my mouth to dry to even conjure spit.
"I..I thought you were kidding..so..that..m..means.." The blue-eyed vampire approached me as he rested his hands on my shoulders.
"We're going to figure this out. No one's going to hurt you and most importantly no one's going to flirt with my witch."
I slowly walked down the stairs, hugging my hands around my body. Many things were running through my head about..well everything. But we were going to talk about everything at dinner tonight. I made my way into the kitchen, a smiling Caroline running toward me with open arms.
"Oh my gosh Bonnie! I'm so glad you're okay!" The blond squeezed me so hard I thought she might squish the baby.
"Caroline I'm okay." I smiled a cheeky grin, happy to know my friend cared about me. She let go, Elena now approaching and gently hugging me.
"How're you feeling Bon?" My arms drifted back to their sides, a small smile forming on my features.
"I'm feeling good. Other than going all whacky and feeling sick, I guess I can't complain." Little did Elena know..I had lots to complain and worry about.
"Okay Bonnie, but remember I'm here for you."
"Hey me to!" Caroline shouted, peeking her head from out of the refridgerator. I felt Damon snake his hands around my waist, him giving me a quick peck on the cheek.
"Okay so what do you and Damon Jr. want for breakfast?" I decided to not argue against the hoping vampire. If he wanted a boy than so be it. If he wanted to name that said boy Damon Jr. than so be it. But I think we both knew that the so called Damon Jr. is a girl. Well..I was hoping atleast.
"Hmm I think I want some eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes, and some pickles and ice cream."
"Pickles and icecream. Atleast pick something that goes together. Like a cheeseburger and fries." My brunette friend stated, a quick chuckle escaping her throat. My blue-eyed friend ducked her head out of the fridge.
"Turkey and peaches." The blond squeeled.
"Unicorns and glitter." I let go of Damon, the whole room looking at him as if he were crazy.
"Unicorns and glitter?" I watched the vampire gesture jazz hands. Elena shook her head back and fourth, Caroline giving him a quizzical look.
"You say pickles and icecream, but I can't say unicorns and glitter? I'm highly offended." The childish supernatural crossed his arms, walking himself to the tabble and sitting across from Elena. I sat down next to the said child, Caroline soon joining us.
"Where's breakfast Blondie? I didn't invite you into my lovely home for nothing." Sarcasticness dripping off of the vampire's tongue.
"Does it look like I cook?" Caroline responded all the while equally sassy.
"My Bon Bon needs to eat a nutritious breakfast and you're just lazing around. I swear.."
"You to need to stop. Besides, I'll cook the breakfast. It's the least I can do for Bonnie."
"Elena, it's okay. I should be cooking you breakfast." I was about to get up when Elena's hand stopped me.
"No Bon, I got it. You need to stay calm and not relax." I nodded my head, realizing that my doe-eyed friend was right.
"No Elena you don't have to. I'll cook." All eyes were now on Damon in disbelievement.
"Really Damon? You're going to cook?" Caroline questioned with a raised brow. Damon got up from the table, heading over to the refridgerator.
"I've been cooking for..before I died. Food got boring after a while, but now since I have Bonnie and my unborn son to feed..." Damon trailed off, opening the fridge and peering inside. He tilted his head to the side, simply closing the refridgerator door shut.
"Nah you're right, I can't do this. Stefan!" Damon rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Where's that bell when you need it?" A mintue later Stefan rushed into the room, him trying to catch his breath.
"Wh..What's..wrong?" Elena got up from the table, rubbing Stefan's back.
"Stefan where were you?" Elena stated, clearly in shock of Stefan's heavy breathing.
"I was in the woods feeding, I heard Damon call and thought you guys were in trouble so I rushed back." Elena hugged on to Stefan, shooting Damon an evil glance.
"So what did you need? Is everyone okay?" Damon picked up a near by glass. He looked at the contents in it and sat it back down.
"No, Bonnie's hungry and I need you to cook."
"You called me in here to cook for Bonnie?"
"I thought you liked Bonnie."
"I do like Bonnie, but you wer-" The blue-eyed vampire cut Stefan off.
"So you don't like Bonnie? Now I see how you really feel."
"Damon why can't you cook for me? You cooked for me numerous times before." Damon's cooking was fairly good. Now that I had thought about the times when he took me to that hotel, and then when he turned evil and held me captive..the food was good. I gave him puppy dog eyes, making my green orbs shine. I watched him sigh, but then gave in. He waved a hand.
"Fine, fine I'll cook for you. But I'm only doing it because you so very politely asked." He gave one of his infamous smirks.
"Thank you." I radiated a smile.
"I think I deserve a little present." His black brows wriggled like two catipillars. I shrugged my shoulders.
"Okay, I'll let you have the dead fish in our room. It's only fair." Elena giggled, Caroline snickering along with Stefan.
I forked a piece of pancake into my mouth, chomping on the piece of bread happily.
"Bon take it easy." I looked up at Elena who was snickering at my big appetite. I chewed some more, swallowing my food and taking a sip of water.
"I can't help in Lena. You know I'm eating for two." I looked down at my little baby bump to try to prove a point.
"Bon I'm only kidding." I rolled my eyes playfully, picking up a piece of bacon and crunching on it.
"So who did you say you met a couple of days ago?" I raised a brow, Stefan speaking to Elena.
"Wait Elena you met someone? Who was it?" The curiostiy had gotten the better of me. If Elena had met someone and they happened to be supernatural then I wanted to know.
"It was noone really. It was a boy with blond hair and green eyes. He was walking down the street and dropped his wallet. I called his name and gave it back to him."
"That's funny." Everyone's eyes darted over to Damon's who sat at the other end of the table with a smug smirk on his lips. The vampire shrugged his shoulders.
"What? All I'm saying is if I saw someone drop their wallet I would have kept it." I heard my blond friend sigh.
"Yeah Damon I bet you would." I watched his eyes advert to Caroline's, them having an eye battle.
"Have I told you that I've stollen money from your purse on more than one occasion?" My boyfriend spoke his words menacingly, trying to crack Caroline. But Caroline held her place, not seeing all the bit surprise.
"I put vervain in your boxers." I saw Damon's brow twitch, both the vampire and blond still non-blinking after a good minute.
"Can we just get back to the point? Hello? Damon? Care?" Elena tried breaking them up with her words but to no avail.
"Lena just let them have it until one of them gives in." I patted my friend on her shoulder, trying to make her have some comfort." My eyes cascaded back over to the little brawl that was going on at the end of the table.
"I took your strawberry-kiwi lip gloss and flushed it down the toliet." Caroline's lips formed a firm line. About a month ago I remembered her freaking out, saying that she couldn't find her favorite tube of lip gloss. I guess we all knew what happened to it now. Caroline's manicured hands formed a fist.
"I ripped a hole in one of your shirts." The blue-eyed vampire squinted his eyes.
"I texted everyone saying you have herpes." Damon had done it now. Her blue eyes twitched, her throwing her hands down on the table. She got up out of her seat, towering over the smirking vampire.
"Well you know what Damon? Yesterday I used your leather jacket to wipe my a-"
"Okay Caroline I think you guys are done now." Stefan spoke up in a firm, yet amusing tone. The blond gave Damon one last look before sitting back down and paying him no attention.
"Damon.." I gave him a warning tone.
"What? She started it. I thought you guys wanted me to tell the truth." He was right in a way. Honesty was the best policy, but not when he told the truth.
"Can we get back on topic people?" I saw the desperation in Elena's chocolate eyes.
"Sure Elena." I gave her a smile, signaling that she now had the right to talk in peace.
"Any way, the boy with blond hair and green eyes, he-"
"Wait did you say blond hair and green eyes?" Damon rudely interupted.
"Yeah..why?" My vision shifted from Elena to Damon.
"At the bar about a week ago there was a boy sitting next to me. He was trying to act all cool, dressed in all black. He had green eyes and blond hair..." He trailed off, touching his finger to his chin and looking into space.
"So you think it was the same guy?" The words escaped my mouth quickly.
"Elena describe him more." Stefan spoke up this time.
"Well he had on dark jeans. He was handsome..I guess, he told me his name was Sam."
"That's him, that's the guy that was at the bar."
"How do you know? Just because he fits the description doesn't mean anything?" Damon's blue irises glanced at Caroline and then back at Elena, Stefan and I.
"The guy at the bar was talking to me. He didn't tell me his name, but he wore black, had green eyes and blond hair. He tried acting all cool which by the way was not working out for the kid." There was a funny feeling in the pit of my stomach. The kind of feeling you got when you knew something was up. When you knew something bad was going to happen. Damon quickly averted his eyes to me, worry on his features.
"Umm can we stop talking about this..for the time being? We'll have time to talk over dinner. I think I need some air." I didn't wait for a response, getting up from the table and quickly speeding outside to the back yard. I breathed in the fresh morning air, wrapping a hand around my waist. The funny feeling was still in the pit of my stomach and wouldn't disperse. I looked around. The Sun was shining, birds were chirping, and it was a fairly warm day. Everything seemed perfect, but it wasn't. I spotted an old swing that was tied to a tree. I slowly walked to it, plopping myself down on the old-looking swing. I didn't know why it was there, whose it used to be, but the swing called to me.
"It's funny." I jumped up from the swing, turning around to see Damon leaning up against the big tree. I put a hand over my heart, trying to breath.
"Don't act like you didn't know I was coming."
"I...I actually didn't. I didn't sense you. I..must have been to busy thinking." I knew it was a bad excuse. We both knew the real reason was that I was to busy being afraid. Running away from problems instead of trying to fix them. Damon put his hands in his pockets, ignoring what I said, instead peering around the huge land, admiring the outdoors.
"It's funny...I used to come here to think." I didn't say anything. So that's why I was drawn to the swing.
"When my dad forced me to do things that he wanted to do. When I had to go to war, being mad at Stefan and my dad. Having nothing but hatred.." Damon seemed to have pulled his head out of the clouds, his vision looking straight ahead at me. He then held out a pale hand. I slowly walked up to him, softly grasping the out stretched hand. He pulled me to him, dragging me down to the ground and placing me on his lap. He wriggled around, trying to find a comfortable position whilst sitting with his back up against the tree while I was in his arms.
"Were you afraid?" I asked the question quietly, the wind blowing through my hair. I felt Damon lean his head on mine, grazing a hand through my locks.
"I was." I switched my position, turning on my right so I was clasping onto his right shoulder.
"And then what happened?" I heard him sigh. There was nothing but silence for a minute until he spoke.
"I went off to war, Stefan stayed home with my father." I trailed my hand gently along his arm, admiring the black, little hairs that sprouted from his pores.
"But you had a choice didn't you?" A gust of wind had gone bye, my words trailing off in the invisible air. I felt his hard muscles shrug.
"Everyone has a choice." A couple of seconds had gone bye before he spoke up again.
"I wanted to make my father love me." I put stray pieces of hair behind my ear, taking a deep breath, but not saying anything. I knew what Damon was saying, I knew how he felt. He wanted his father to love him, just like I wanted mine to love me. But things didn't work out the way you wanted them to. Things in life weren't fair.
We sat there for about fifteen minutes dreched in silence. Admiring the wind and Sun on this fair day. I broke that silence.
"What do you think it was?" I switched positions again, planting my back into his stomache. Damon didn't have to ask me what I was talking about. I knew he felt it to, that feeling that something was going to go wrong. That feeling that I had deep down inside, that funny feeling that was in the pit of my stomache. He was still silent before he spoke up.
"I don't know. It must have been your insticts." More silence.
"I know you don't want to hear this Bonnie, but something bad's going to happen." I didn't say anything. He was right, I knew something bad was going to happen, but I just didn't know what.
"So you were in the World War?" The thought came out of no where. A thought that bursted out of my lips because I wanted to get the other thoughts out of my head for the minute being. I heard the vampire sigh before pushing back a strand of my hair and resting his head on mine again.
"Yes Bonnie, yes." He sounded like he wanted to get off the subject, like he wasn't ready to tell me about his days from way back then.
"You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to." I kept my eyes on the ground, looking at a colony of ants moving about. Damon didn't say anything, so I took that as a que that he did indeed didn't want to get touchy with the subject. Instead another thought entered my brain. A thought that was random, but I had to know the answer to.
"Would you've stil-"
"Bonnie? Damon?" I was interupted. I looked up, Elena peeping around the back yard, looking for me and the said vampire. I got up off the ground, Damon staggering behind me.
"Elena I'm over here!" I yelled out, waving my hands. The brunette looked toward us, a smile plastered on her glowing face. She walked over, pulling back a piece of her chocolate, long locks.
"Sorry I didn't me to interrupt you guys, but you've been out here for over two hours." My friend looked at her cell phone.
"It's almost three Bons." I bit my lip.
"Oh yeah Damon and I were supposed to go shopping." I kicked myself mentally. I was to dazed out to remember the dinner we were going to have. The dinner that we were suppose to go shopping for.
"Bonnie it's okay. You guys still have time. I was just reminding you." I patted Elena on the shoulder.
"Thanks Lena."
"Am I mistaken or does this century have cell phones? A.k.a a texting feature?" Damon cocked his head toward Elena, indicating that he didn't want to be interrupted.
"Well excuse me Damon." The blue-eyed vampire crossed his arms.
"You're excused." I rolled my eyes and scoffed at the rude supernatural.
"Bonnie it's okay. It's nice to see Damon in love and not going around killing poor, helpless girls." I smiled, hearing Damon growl in response. I touched Damon's shoulder, giving him a look as if saying 'don't do anything stupid.'
"Hey Lena where's Care?" I looked around, wondering where the bubbly blond was.
"She's inside laying out clothes. She said something about wanting you to look good." I chuckled.
"It's not like this is a fancy dinner date. It's just so all of us can talk, nothing special.." The brunette rolled her eyes.
"That's what I've been trying to tell the over-accessorized blond, but she insists." Elena shrugged her shoulders. She smiled a tooth-y grin in the process.
"I guess we'll all have to dress up then..sort of like a dinner date..." She trailed off, clasping her hands together happily.
"No. No way. I'm not dressing up just to talk about who's trying to sabatoge Mystic Falls." My vampire boyfriend stated sarcastically, yet firmly. I looked from Elena's bright, pleading face and then to Damon's.
"Umm.." I didn't know what to say. I really didn't feel like dressing up, but I couldn't say no to Elena..I looked back at my brown-eyed friend. She gave me the biggest puppy dog eyes, along with a little pucker of the lips.
"Elena I.." I then turned back to Damon. His eyes were glistening, the blue in them making him irrisistable. He stuck his lip out as well, as if in competition with the brunette. I kept looking back and fourth at one another.
"Damon looked so cute and adorable, making me want to melt on the spot. But Elena looked pleading and hopeful.
"I want to see you in your best suit." I heard the vampire groan.
"Are you flipping kidding me? You're going to side with Elena?" I nodded my head, smiling all the while. Damon bit his lip, crossing his arms in the process.
"Fine. It's fine.." I gave Damon the 'What's bothering you' look. He looked away for a second, then back at me with smouldering eyes.
"Fine." He stated the word again like a stubborn child.
"Damon.." I didn't want the poor vampire to whine. He dressed up in suits on other occassions, but he couldn't dress up in a suit for me? Ridiculous.
"I'm fine Bonnie. You're fine, this whole dinner will be fine." I took a sigh. Was this dinner going to be fine or did Damon have something up his sleeve?
"Okay Damon..but don't do anything stupid? For me?" Now it was my turn to give the puppy dog eyes.
"Ugh fine."
"Hmm I feel like cookies and ham..." I put an index finger to my chin, leaning on the shopping cart whilst in the candy isle.
"Then why are we in the candy isle?" The vampire's blue eyes were flashing at mine with sarcasm and playfullness. I made my shoulders slump up and down.
"I was in the mood for candy and now..I'm not.." I crinkled my nose the smell of chocolate hiting my nostrils like a rocket. I tried waving the scent away with my hand, but I didn't quite succeed. The candy was atleast five feet away from where I was standing and yet I could smell it as if it were up my nose.
"Ugh what's happening to me?" I whispered, forgetting that the complaining vampire had super sonic hearing.
"It's only a matter of time..." He childishly stated, crossing his arms and pretending to browse the candy selections. I pushed the cart toward him.
"A matter of time for what?" His eyes flashed back to mine. A kind of amusement hiding behind them.
"You know. You're craving blood, zooming all over the place..next up will be supersonic hearing." My mouth was agape. The vampire was right. I had all of the symptoms as if I were a vampire...
"But..I'm not a vampire..I..I don't want to be one." He put a hand over his heart in mochary.
"Ouch Bennett, that's offensive."
"But I don't want to be all speedy, crave blood and have supersonic hearing. It's to much." Damon picked up a bag of bubble gum, tossing the bag into the cart.
"I say it's a gift." He stated his words snoodily. Was he offended? We turned the corner, heading to the meats.
"Why would you say it's a gift?" Damon fixed his jacket, trailing a pale finger up and down the shopping cart.
"Just look at me. I'm still young and hot." He slicked a hand through his dark hair. I scoffed and rolled my eyes. I guess he was right about something, but it didn't make me feel any better. I quickly got off the subject.
"So..the weather's nice.." Damon squinted his eyes, giving me an odd look.
"Okay what's on your mind? Not that I need to ask because I already know..but just tell me anyway." He waved a hand.
"Don't worry. This will all blow over..." I gave him a deadpanned expression.
"In about...eight more months..." I slapped Damon on the arm.
"Thanks Damon. I can always count on you for support." The menacing vampire gave me a wink.
"Aww you know you can Bon Bon." I rolled my green marbles whilst staring down at the raw meats.
"Step away from the meat."
"But I need to pick something out for the dinner." I stated in a protest. The vampire sighed heavily.
"I'm feeling nasueated so you're feeling nasueated."
"I need to pick out a meat to cook."
"I don't know if people do this these days, but it's called a shopping list." I cracked a quick smile, forcing it over with a frown.
"You know I didn't have time to write one." Damon nudged me slightly, using his index finger to point at the packaged meats.
"One, two, three." He simply picked up some type of meat and threw it into the cart.
"Satisfied? Let's go." I looked down, seeing that he had picked up pork chops.
"You can't get that." I pouted my lips. Another sigh came from the impatient supernatural.
"And why not? I'm not eating it."
"Caroline. She's allergic."
"Isn't Blondie a vegetarian or something?" He gestered with his hands.
"No. She eats meat you know." Damon started pulling the cart.
"Well she can be a vegetarian tonight." He gave his infamous smirk, his blue eyes smouldering. The smell of meat was intensifying every second and I couldn't stand it. All of this was to much. I guess Caroline would have to be a vegetarian tonight.
Everything was fixed and ready. The only thing we had to do now was get dressed. Caroline was already yanking on my hair, trying to get the perfect curls while Elena was applying my make up.
"Bonnie you're going to look hot." Caroline gushed, yanking another piece of my hair.
"Ouch Care, and there's no reason for me to look hot anymore." Elena stopped applying eye shadow, giving me the 'are you crazy look.' I shrugged my shoulders, causing Caroline to burn me on my ear.
"Ouch!" I sputtered, holding my ear in the process, Caroline freaking out, saying sorry in the process.
"Aww.." I hissed.
"Bonnie I'm so sorry. You want me to get you a cool rag?" I hissed for another momment, suddenly not feeling even a hint of pain. I pulled my hand away, Elena bending down next to me, observing my ear.
"Bonnie..there's nothing there..." I scrunched my brows.
"Nothing there? There's suppose to be some kind of burn..a mark.." I stated, freaking out. But I knew exactly what was going on here. Vampire symptoms that I was picking up from the baby. As much as I appreciated not being in pain, I wanted to be. I wanted to be human as much as possible. Elena tugged on my ear.
"Bonnie there's nothing there..it's like you never got burnt.."
"That's good right?" My vision shifted to Caroline who still looked worried.
"Caroline it's okay. There's no mark or anything..I'm fine." Caroline bit her nail.
"What do you mean there's no mark? I no I must have burnt you.." I didn't want to discuss with Elena and Caroline about any other weird vampire/ baby symptoms mess. They already knew I had a problem with blood erges. I wanted to be normal gosh darnit. Was that to much to ask? I looked the blond in the eyes.
"Care it's okay. I guess you didn't burn me like you thought."
"But the flat iron landed on your ear Bon."
"But I'm okay. There's no mark, nodda." I rushed the sentence, being obvious that I didn't want to talk about it anymore.
"Well okay Bon..we were just making sure." Elena eyeballed me with suspicion, making me focus my eyes on nothing in particular.
"Let's get back to work then." The bubbly blond regained her bubbly-ness, taking the flat iron back in her hands, Elena doing my make up once again.
"So what were you talking about when you said there's no reason for you to look hot anymore?" This time I learned my lesson of 'not shrugging' when there was a flat iron involved.
"It's just that I'm having a baby..Damon's baby to be more precise." I opened my eyes, Elena reaching for a tube of lip stick. She cracked a sly smile, making me wonder what she was thinking.
"Bonnie what does that have to do with anything? You and I both know that Damon loves women."
"And what is that suppose to mean?" I watched from the corner of my eye, Caroline taking another strand of mine and curling it to perfection.
"Damon likes hot women Bonnie. You're one of those 'hot' types." She gestured with her hands.
"Yeah Bon, you're more than hot, you're smokin.' I sighed.
"Thanks guys." The words slipped off of my tongue in distaste. I didn't believe I was at all pretty anymore. Sure Damon had slipped a few compliments here and there, but I was gaining weight and just not feeling my best.
"Miss Bennett." I looked up the best I could at the fierce blond that continued curling my hair.
"You better not be thinking what I think you're thinking." I raised a brow. Was Caroline psychic now? Ha, I guess it was her good friend instincts.
"Bon, you'e beautiful. I mean how do you think you got pregnant in the first place. It's not like Damon got you pregnant for the fun of it." I coughed, indicating that I didn't want to talk about the process of how babies were made. Caroline shot me a 'you're not getting out of this one' look.
"Hey it's true. You guys were drawn to each other. Damon loves you." I didn't say anything. Did Damon love me? Yeah, we were drawn to each other, but we were persuaded. Right? No matter how powerful it was, I felt everything..the love, the emotions. Heck, I couldn't help it that night when Damon and I were intimate. Like I said a million times before, I wasn't ready. If my mind was as clear as it was now, I wouldn't have done anything with Damon. Damon was romantic though and he was gentle-
"Bonnie? Hello Earth to the witch!" Elena waved her hand in my face, Caroline giggling in the back ground. I suddenly snapped out of my thoughts, my two best friends now done with my hair and make up. Caroline handed me a mirror. I looked at my reflection, grinning from ear to ear.
"You look goregous." Squealed the blond and brunette in union.
I forked some more mashed potatoes in my mouth, chewing and swallowing silently. Caroline was going on and on about the dark-haired stranger that she met last week, Damon looking in my direction every once and a while. I had to give the vampire credit though. He had actually dressed up like I asked him to; a black tux. His hair was his usual style, but it suited him. And his eyes..his eyes were more blue than before.
I took a sip of water, Caroline finally finishing.
"I say Barbie should go back to the store and try finding this guy. Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll take her with him." My eyes fiercely went over to Damon's, me giving him a death stare. This was a serious situation and Damon was joking around. He waved his hand at me, giving me his little smirk.
"Caroline might be on to something." Stefan gave the blond a smile, reasuring her that she wasn't over reacting.
"Yeah Damon. This character seems pretty suspicious to me." Elena stated. Damon raised a brow, his face lighting up.
"I saw a guy the other day at the pet shop." Now it was Caroline's time to raise a brow.
"You were at a pet shop? What were you doing there? Spitting on puppies?" Damon's eyes turned to slits.
"No Miss Barbie Wannabe. I was spying on a guy that seems to fit the descrption of the guy you met." I suddenly spoke up.
"You saw the same guy Caroline did?" Damon radiated off a serious look.
"As a matter of fact I think I did. The weird part was...he bought a crow. I followed him out the door and he was gone." My eyes widened, Stefan soon speaking up.
"He...vanished?" Damon stabbed his pork chop with his fork, picking up the piece of meat and sniffing it. He then threw it back down on his plate.
"I don't know Stefan. What do I look like? An irrisistably, hot vampire with supernatural abilities?" I could in Stefan's eyes that he was getting agrivated, but he nudged it off. Damon continued speaking.
"It's not like I was up his butt following him out the door if that's what you think. I had to keep a low profile." I thought back to the flowers. Was Damon bringing me flowers by 'keeping a low profile' to, or was that just him being thoughtful? I looked up, his eyes already on mine.
"That was me being thoughtful Bennett." His eye winked at me, them sparkling all the while. Caroline, Stefan and Elena looked at me with tilted noggins.
"Did we miss something?" My brunette friend stated. I quickly looked over at Elena, scratching my neck nervously in the process. The trio didn't know about Damon and I's 'mind reading' and communication.
"Umm...no..nothing." Caroline and Elena gave me a mysterious look for a good couple seconds, but soon went back to eating their food and listening to what Damon had to say. Stefan gave me his 'broody' glance for a second, as if to say 'there's something going on between Damon and I that we're keeping a secret.'
"So you're sure this guy is the same one that I met in the store?" I watched the blue-eyed sarcastic sigh heavily, giving my blond friend an annoyed look.
"Blondie I'm sure. I've been living in Mystic Falls for how long? And I've never seen the guy in my life until days ago around the same time you did."
"So buying a crow seems suspicious to you?" The younger Salvatore spoke up, seriously starting at his brother.
"What do you think?" I watched Damon lean over, grabbing Elena's glass and drinking the contents.
"You're welcome Damon." I heard Elena mummble under her breath. He smirked in response.
"Come on Stefan, noone just buys a crow out of the blue. I mean I used to have a crow until he..." Damon trailed off, putting his hand to his eyes, fake sobbing sarcastically. We all knew the story. The story of how Damon came back to town, causing trouble and how Stefan had to vervain the demon, locking him up for days in the basement. Of course Damon was dying, so he called his crow and sucked the daylight out of the poor thing.
"We all know the story Damon, just get to the point." I stated, wanting Damon to stop his fake acting. Although, I had to admit that Damon was a pretty good actor. If he were on a t.v. show I could see it now: Damon Salvatore; the hot vampire who loved his brother's girlfriend and then went for his brother's girl friend's best friend. I shrugged my shoulders, lost in my own world. It seemed like a good plot to me since he didn't like Elena anymore and is now going out with me. But the plot seemed too good. To good that it seemed like the plot would be used in a t.v. show called the Vampire Diaries and all people who were rooting for Damon and I to happen would get their wish and their dreams would come true. For all people who thought that Damon and Elena would be a bad couple and Damon and I would be one hundred times better together. For all people who-
"Earth to Bonnie!" I suddenly looked up, Caroline giving me a curious glance. Oh boy, now they were really going to start asking questions once dinner was over. I couldn't help it. My thoughts got a little carried away. Too carried away that it was creepy. It must have been the baby playing with my mind. I mean what kind of name is "The Vampire Diaries" anyway? And why would Damon want to be in love with Elena? I mean..Damon and I were a perfect match..right? He would want to be with me. Not some boring-
"Flipping Earth to Bonnie!" I looked up once more, the four people giving me odd looks.
"Bonnie is there something on your mind?" Stefan gave me a sympathetic look, Elena nodding her head in response to her boyfriend's question.
"Umm no...my stomache's just a little upeset." I gave them a fake grin, lying all the while. Why was I so jealous of Elena? I was being so insecure..Insecure because Elena was the one that Damon liked first, Elena was the one that Stefan liked first, Elena was the one that everyone liked first. She was the one that everybody thought was prettier and..had more personality and...everything..
"Bonnie?" This time it was Damon that called my name. I looked up at him, him giving me his serious face. The one serious face that made his cheek bones stand out with their broad features.
"I think that you need to stop it now..." He stretched the word now as if he were signaling. He knew what I was thinking and he wanted me to stop.
"Umm let's just get back to talking about the..the mysterious guy.." I stuttered with my words, everyone except Damon giving me odd-like glances. Caroline coughed, but gave in.
"So you think he bought the crow for supernatural reasons?" Elena spoke up this time, giving her full attention to Damon.
"What else would he buy a crow for? I didn't see him in there buying a rabbit."
"Okay, so he's on our list." Stefan stated, picking up a glass and sipping. I watched Damon lean back his chair, adverting his eyes to me and then back to nothing in particular.
"Okay so Mr. Perfection's on our list a.k.a Mysterious-shopping store-crow guy, the so called Duller looking version of me a.k.a Simon, and let's not forget about Mr. Blond-haired-Green eyed Wannabe...also known as Sam." Damon spoke his words with menace. I could tell he disliked these fellows already. Elena had told us about the guy Sam she had met. She gave us the details; the rose he gave her. It seemed like a perfect fit to the stalker that was sending me flowers.
"So...who do you think it is?" I more like whispered my words, not wanting to get into the conversation, but wanting to at the same time.
"We don't know yet Bon...all we know is that the first guy bought a crow, Simon is a carbon-copy of Damon, and Sam gave me a flower and is mysterious." Elena gave me a sad look as if to say that she felt what I was going through. But no one knew what I was going through..except Damon. I sighed, looking around the table and watching Caroline. She took a drink of water, her eyes widening and the water spewing all over the table. Damon shook his head back and fourth.
"Twenty first century and Barbie's over there spitting germs like eight teen sixty-four all over again." I paid no attention to the sarcastic vampire, but instead got out of my chair and went to Caroline's aid.
"Care what's wrong? What happened?" I stated, looking at the blond without blinking. She quickly took a napkin, wiping her mouth quickly.
"Sam, Simon, the mysterious guy I met at the store.." I gestured with my hands for her to keep going.
"Care what about them?" I eagerly wanted to know.
"They all arrive out of no where at the same time and Sam and Simon's name both start with the letter 'S.' I heard clapping, turning around to see Damon with that goofy smirk on his face.
"Congratulations, Barbie knows the alphabet."
"Damon shut up. Caroline could be on to something." Stefan replied in response, sticking up for my blue-eyed friend. I watched Caroline give Stefan a 'thank you' look.
"Maybe you could be onto something Care. But we still don't know the name of the guy that Damon and you saw."
"I know, which brings us back at...nothing.." The blond seemed to be in thought, frustrated feelings coursing through her veins. I patted her on the shoulder, reassuring her that she didn't have to try to figure out the whole puzzle to this mystery. She had given us a good thought.
"Thanks Care." I gave her a smile, her smiling back with a gleam in her eyes. She really was beautiful though. She didn't give herself enough credit. She would always try searching for the right guy and was upset with herself when Stefan came to town and instantly chose Elena. Caroline's green eye shadow made her eyes pop, her hair piled into a pretty bun with waves cascading down the side of her face. Not to mention the gorgeous blue, knee-length dress that she was wearing. How it scooped down in the front and was decked out with sparkles.
"You really do look pretty tonight Care." The blond was now bubbly again, jumping up and giving me a sincere hug.
"Thanks Bon, you look great to." I squeezed onto Caroline tighter, forgetting that anyone else was in the room before the sarcastic vampire spoke up.
"Nice Girlmance. Do I get a hug to?" Caroline unlatched her arms from me, turning around to me Damon's dancing eyebrows.
"Yeah, I think I'm done here. I'll be upstairs in the guest room." She simply gave me another hug, then walking over to Elena to give her one. I then watched her disappear up the stairs. Of course it was a Sunday night, but us girls wanted to stick together in case something happened. So Elena and Care were spending the night in case anything freaky happened. Elena stood up, yawning whilst wrapping an arm around her boyfriend's waist.
"I think I'm going to head to bed to." I nodded, Stefan agreeing with his girlfriend. The couple both started walking toward the steps before Elena stopped. I watched her unlatch from Stefan, walking over to me to give me a quick squeeze.
"Good night Bons. I'll miss you." I chuckled. Elena and I always used to say that when we were younger, even though half the time we would be sleeping right next to each other or would be in separate rooms.
"I'll miss you to." Damon sighed next to me.
"For God's sake you guys will be one room away from each other." He dramatically stated, throwing his hands about. I slapped him playfully on the shoulder, trying to make him shut up. Elena rolled her eyes, giving me a final wave before ascending up the stairs with the younger Salvatore.
I turned around to face the sarcastic demon, giving him a quizzical look. He stood there with that goofy smirk glued on his perfect lips. I placed a hand up to my mouth, yawning. Let's face it; Damon will always be Damon why scold at him now? I turned around, about to walk up the stairs before I felt a grasp on my hand. Before I had a second to respond, I was twirled into the vampire's arms. I gasped under my breath.
"Damon what are you doing?" I whispered. I didn't want to wake the sleeping couple and my blue-eyed friend if they were already sleeping. Damon grasped my hands tighter, bringing them to his chest. His eyes radiated with a smouldering look filled with lust.
"You know you're beautiful right?" He bent down, kissing my hands, making me blush.
"Damon..." I whined, wanting to know what he was trying to get at. He took my hands, wrapping them around his neck, while he placed his hands around my waist, pushing me up to him until there wasn't an inch of space left between us.
"What are you-" He put a finger up to my lips.
"Just dance." I raised a brow.
"Dance? There's no music."
"We don't need music." His voice was silky, making me feel like a chocolate bar on a hot, summer day. Our bodies moved with one another, simply swaying back and fourth as if we were slow dancing to a soft beat. He suddenly let go, spinning me around and then wrapping his strong arms around me once more.
"You know you should really give yourself more credit." His sculpted lips turned up, forming a breath taking smile.
"I do give myself credit." His brow was already up, his eyes squinted. I sighed, he already knew I was lying.
"But I guess it's okay to be jealous to..." He clicked his tongue on the roof of his mouth, twirling me and switching my position. My back was placed against his chest, his hands glued on my stomache.
"You know you're way hotter than Elena." He whispered in my ear, making goosebumps rise all over my body. But how was I suppose to believe what he was saying? He was a ladie's man and probably used that line on many girls. He swiftly turned me around, forcing me to face his once more.
"You're beautiful." He deadpanned his words. I shook my head. I sitll didn't believe it. The words that were coming from his mouth I didn't believe one bit. I could tell if he was lying or not; he wasn't. But for some reason I just didn't belive him.
"No, you're just saying things. We're drawn together-it's like you're compelled to think that." I watched the supernatural sigh and roll his eyes.
"Bonnie.." He stated his words slowly. "I'm not compelled, I don't like Elena, I want you." I was about to respond, but he put his finger to my lips, kissing me in the process. After a couple of seconds he pulled back, piercing me with his oceanic eyes.
"When I fall for someone, remember that I always fall hard." His words seemed serious, his words were true. I believed him after what happened with Katherine. He fell in love and didn't want to let her go for over a century. I suddenly found myself up against the wall, Damon stroking my hair tenderly. I hitched a breath, my focus on his delectable lips. I was scared, I had never been in love before; I didn't know what it was or how it felt to be in love. He tilted my chin up, making me look him in the eyes.
"I probably wouldn't love you if I didn't go through everything we went through for the past month." My posture dropped. He had just answered my question that I didn't get to finish asking him earlier when we were outside and Elena interupted.
"But I'm glad that I did go through everything with you. Because I am in love with you. I'm whipped." He popped the 'ps' in the word whipped.
I felt his tender lips touch mine, kissing me softly. His hands glided to the arch of my back. I was frozen in the momment before I realized what was going on. I slowly wrapped my hands around his neck, kissing the vampire back. The kiss was slow at first, working its way up to heated. My hands were a mess in his hair, his hands trailing their way down my body. I wrapped my legs around his waist, him holding me against the wall. I could tell that he wanted more, that he wanted to go further. I didn't have to read his mind to know what he wanted. He respected me, which was good in my book. I tried pulling away from the vampire's lips, finding it difficult to. Each time I would try, I would get lullied back into a heated make out session. I unwrapped my legs kissing Damon one more time before pulling back and looking at his kiss-swollen lips. I simply wrapped my arms around Damon, hugging him.
"I'm sorry I can't give you what you want." I felt him smile. I looked up, a sly smirk playing on his lips.
"I thought you would know by now that I like challenges." He played with a strand of my hair, his eyes playing with my mind. I raised a brow, tooting my lips.
"And I thought you knew by now that I'm hard to break." I stated sassily. I suddenly yawned, a feeling of tiredness flowing through my body. I felt Damon scoop me up bridal style. I closed my eyes, a second later opening them.
I found myself in our room on the bed. I was still dressed head to toe as if I were going to some kind of prom. I plopped back, laying on my back and staring at the ceiling. I felt to tired to even undress myself. My eyes adverted to a half-dressed Damon. He was in nothing but black boxers. He walked over the the bed, that sly smirk still present on his features. I blinked my eyes, finding the vampire out of my site. I sat up quickly, finding Damon at the end of the bed, taking my foot lightly and unstraping my shoe. I gave him the other foot, him unstrapping this heel slower the last, him stroking my foot. I pulled my bare foot away nervously, yet with a smile on my face. I simply stood up, pulling my hair to the side. I felt Damon behind me, kissing my shoulder before slowly unzipping my dress. I felt the dress plumet to the floor, a heap beneath my feet. I stepped out of the dress, in nothing but my bra and underwear. I felt Damon wrap his arms around my stomache, his lips sending burning kisses down my neck and shoulder. I moaned, leaning into the vampire. Damon suddenly stopped, nibbling my ear before whispering into it.
"Did I break you yet?" I automatically tensed up, wiping the look of lust of my features. I turned around and faced the cocky vampire. I put my lips inches away from him, teasing him.
"Not even close." I sassily replied. I swiftly turned around, heading to the bathroom.
"You know you want me." I kept walking forward while replying.
"In your dreams Salvatore."
"I know you want me. I even want me." I chuckled, opening the bathroom door and shutting it behind me. I went to the sink, turning the water on hot. I splashed the water on my face, reaching for a towel. I turned the water off, drying my face in the process. I hung the towel back up, my eyes suddenly attracted to a vase filled with sweet peas. I smiled, Damon didn't have to get me so many flowers. I thought he had only gotten me one vase of sweet peas. But either way they were pretty and it was nice that he was thinking of me. But these sweet peas were green, the other ones on the night stand were yellow. I shrugged my shoulders picking up a strand of the plant. I instantly screamed, dropping the plant and looking at my hands. In a flash Damon was standing behind me, taking my hands gently and placing them under cold water.
"What happened?" His words were hysterical. Fresh, hot tears rolled down my cheek, my whimpering subsiding.
"The...the..f..flo..flowers." I gasped, more tears running down my face. My hands stung. They felt like a million bees had jabbed their pointy, little butts into them. I watched Damon turn off the water. He took my hands gently, patting them with a towel. Stefan busted through the door, a hysterical look that matched Damon's words.
"What happened? I heard Bonnie scream." The younger Salvatore looked left and right, then back at me.
"Check the flowers." Damon responded firmly, taking my hands and observing them. I heard Stefan hiss, pulling back his hand and then looking back at us.
"They're drenched in vervain."
"Well obviously they're not drenched in pixie dust."
"There's a piece of paper." Damon looked up from my hands, peering at Stefan.
"Are you going to get it?" His voice was drenched with seriousness toward his younger brother. His brother looked at him as if he were stupid.
"There's vervain." The brown-eyed vampire deadpanned. I watched Damon throw up his hands.
"Hurry up and go get one of those useless humans. Atleast they'll be good for something." Stefan nodded, speeding out the door. Damon took my hands again. All of the burns and marks that were there before were gone. Damon brought my hands up to his lips, kissing the insides of them.
"There all better." He pouted his lips out like a little child, kissing me on the forehead at the same time.
In came Caroline, Elena along with Stefan, rushing into the bathroom. I felt exposed, realizing that I was still in my bra and underwear. Damon handed me a long towel. I quickly took it, wrapping it around my body.
"There, it's right there." Stefan stated ergently, pointing to the little piece of rolled up paper. Elena went to reach for the note, Caroline being quicker, by yanking it out of the plant. She unrolled it, her eyes scanning it quickly. She covered a hand over her mouth.
"Don't just stand there. What does it say?" Damon angrily spat. Elena snatched the note, reading it for herself. Her eyes were huge as she looked from Damon to me. I watched her gulp. Elena read the note out loud, her hands and voice shaking:
"Roses are red like your blood dripping from a knife, these sweet peas are green like your eyes, you looked good in your dress tonight, but not as good when I'll see death in your eyes."
