Chapter 4

Here it is! =) Eric is made up, everything about him is made up. I do not own anything except the Eric dude.

Damon loves to bug Bonnie's life whenever he sees her around and that he does.

"Bonnie what a nice morning isn't it. I mean I don't really like going out in the morning, but I really, you know, fancy seeing you around."

"Cut the crap, vamp." Bonnie says to him with the fiercest look she tries to give him.

"So, I saw your new boy toy. Do you really think that he could spend his time with a witch? I mean you'd probably scare him off." Damon says to her with his ever present smirk that just irritates her to the core.

"Bite me." Bonnie says without realizing what she had just said until she heard Damon's response.

"Okay, if you insist." He purposely moves closer.

"Wrong choice of words on my part, but if you move any closer I will turn you into ashes." Bonnie says and gives him back his famous smirk.

Damon takes a step back as he notices the fiery feistiness in his little witch.

He then slowly smiles and then walks away slowly and then stops and turns around to face her as she is still standing there.

"Bonnie, just one thing.." He waits for her to respond.

" What?" Bonnie asks again with the "I'm tough, don't mess with me" look on her face.

"Don't say I never warned you because even if I told you anything you would never believe me, because who would want to believe a rusty, demonic vamp right? He is not all you think he is." Damon says

Bonnie replies "You mind your own business Damon, if you have any at all. Don't you ever talk about anyone associated with me to me!"

Damon just walks away leaving Bonnie wondering what the hell he was talking about. She just shook it off and went on her way.

She had promised Eric that she would meet him later that day. She just felt something so real when she kissed him and it was just in a few short moments that she felt like she was hypnotized by him, to make her fall for him. She could not stop thinking about him all night. There he was, waiting at the door of the restaurant he had asked her to meet him at. A flower in his hand and a big smile on his face that just made her melt. She met the guy in one night and already she feels like a giddy school girl. He is so hot! Man I am a lucky gal. Bonnie thought to herself.

"Hello, beautiful. This is for you." He hands her the flower and kisses her on the cheeks. What a perfect gentleman. Nothing like that Damon Salvatore. Gosh why him? Why must he be in my mind? Erase him. She thinks to herself. She had no idea why in the world she would be comparing anyone in her life to Damon.

He was nothing but an irritating bug that just can't seem to go away. Well, again, that's what she kept telling herself. Eric pulls her chair for her like a gentleman would do. He made her feel so special and that was what she needed after all that she had been through.

"You know, you look just stunning. There is just something magical about you."

Eric flatters her with that remark.

"You've only known me for less than a day. How do you know I am not some psycho chick who just puts on an act to lure people in so I could kill them?"

Eric laughs at her cuteness.

"You have a vivid imagination. How do you know I am not?"

Bonnie just looks at him and remains speechless for a second and then laughs out loud.

"You're too genuine." She states.

After lunch, they take a walk in the park. Bonnie feels so right about Eric, she's known him for almost a day and yet she feels like he is the best thing that has ever happened to her. She wishes Grams was around so she could talk to her about it and at that moment sadness fills her face which causes Eric to react as he notices it. He asks her what had happened and she just assures him that nothing is the matter yet he keeps trying to get her to speak it out.

"Sometimes it's good not to hide things and just let it out." He tells her.

"I just miss my Grandmother, after I lost her, every time she comes to my mind my heart just sinks down under. I miss her so much."

"Yeah, I know how it feels, I lost my dad when I was 3. Never got to know him or even find out what kind of man he was."

"I am so sorry, I had no idea." She puts her hand on his shoulder in a comforting manner. He takes her hand and holds it in his and assures her that it's alright.

They spend almost the whole Saturday together and after that he sends her home. Eric was on his way back when he saw a figure in the middle of the road and he had to stop or he would run the person over.

Eric gets out of his car and goes forward to confront the person.

" Hey what's your problem man? Don't know the difference between the road and the sidewalk?"

"No, but I know who you are." The person says.

He walks closer and sees who it is. It's Damon.

"I don't think you do." He responds to him.

"Eric it's been more than a hundred years. I can recognize you anywhere."

"Wow, I guess I've blown my cover, oh wait, only crazy people believe that they'v lived for more than a hundred years. You need help, dude." Eric says and turns around to walk away but Damon grabs him and pushes him against his car.

"I don't know what your intention is, but I am warning you, if you hurt that annoying little witch I will make sure a stake pushes through your chest and goes all the way." Damon states vigorously.

"It could happen to you too Salvatore. Or I could just let Bonnie burn you into shreds."

Damon lets go of him and the says "So you do remember the crazy psycho vamp who lived for more than a hundred years like yourself."

"Bonnie will never find out about me."

"She's not one to mess with. Even I know that."

"She will never believe you no matter how much you warn her. She hates you."

"I know." With that Damon walks away. Eric smiles because he thinks that he had won by reminding Damon of how little he means to Bonnie in reality.

What a sad loser. Eric thinks to himself. Damon hears it but does not even bother. Who would want to believe the guy who tried to kill them, and caused the death of someone so dear to their heart? He reminded may be Mystic Falls biggest bitch but one thing no one really knew about him was all the hurt he had harbored for so long. That was the little bit of human he had inside of him. He thought to himself why do I even give a damn about that little witch? What do I care if he kills her or not?

Bonnie wakes up after tossing and turning in her bed. The nightmares are just like an ongoing soap opera that never seems to end. She hardly gets any sleep. She hates him and blames them. Damon and Stefan. She sadly has no choice but to blame her friend Elena too. She was involved, that night and also is still involved with the Salvatore's. She missed her though, she missed her a lot. Elena was the one, the only other one, other than Caroline, that she could have girl talk with and share secrets with like any young girl would want to do. There was a bond and trust that they shared. Now, it was broken, because of Vamps. Stupid Vamps. She thought to herself.

A week had past since Bonnie and Eric had become a couple. Bonnie had been late for class almost everyday. Throughout the whole class all she did was text Eric. It's like he had put a spell on her that she could not stop talking to him or thinking about him when she did not have Damon in her nightmares. Even though she was still having them it seemed like less of a burden with Eric in her life. If only she knew what he was? Maybe she would still accept him because he is not Damon. If he were anything like Stefan that is, he would not be a problem.

Bonnie and Eric had become so stuck together that she had hardly any time for Caroline but it did not matter because Caroline in the same way stuck to Matt.

Elena and Stefan had noticed Damon's change in behavior for the past week. It's like the guy who could not be bothered with anything suddenly seemed agitated and disturbed by something. That was not a Damon thing at all.

"Damon, you seem.." Elena was hesitant to say.

"What?" Damon asks her as his clear blue eyes stare into hers.

"Are you? I don't know how to put this…"

"I do, jealous?" Stefan cuts in.

"Of, what?" Damon asks in an annoyed manner.

"Well, we've been noticing you constantly on the trail of Bonnie and Eric." Stefan points out.

"That's not true. I am going out." Damon gets defensive and leaves.

Elena and Stefan just stare blankly at each other.

"Well, he does not seem so convincing." Elena tells her boyfriend.

Damon is at the bar having a drink and is later joined by Eric.

"Damon, what a nice surprise?" Eric gives him the fakest smile he could ever give anyone.

"Where's your Siamese twin, separated?" Damon asks with a smirk.

"You know, you should really stop pretending like you don't give a damn about her. Even I know, you do. But she hates your guts."

"Don't you have a little witch to hypnotize, run along." Damon pretends not to hear Eric's previous statement. Eric laughs at him and nods his head and then orders a drink.

" Damon,Damon,Damon. You and your I could not care less comment."

"What do you want with her?" Damon asks him.

"That's for me to know and for you to find out." Eric says, finishes his drink and leaves. Damon shakes it off cause he could not care less and does not trust that little witch anymore after what she did that made him to want to kill her.

"So why are we going to such a dark place?" Bonnie asks Eric who leads her towards the woods.

"So we do not have to run into any one who would interrupt me from doing this..." He gently kisses her and pulls away. Bonnie then kisses him back and deepens it. Eric slowly moves down to her neck and somehow Bonnie does not feel right about it and pulls away.

"Eric, I need to go to the ladies a while. Can we walk out to the Grill, it's the nearest place here." She says and Eric agrees looking a little bummed out.

At the grill, Bonnie spots Damon sitting at the bar.

She then spots Matt who is getting ready to end his work day and goes over to say goodbye along with Eric. After that as they walk past Damon to go to Eric he says "If it isn't the little witch with her broomstick."

"Eric let's ignore the unfriendly character over here okay. I'll just take a while."

"Okay. Don't worry, he won't bother us." Eric says as he stares at Damon.

Damon just stares at her and she rolls her eyes ant him and goes to the ladies. She had no idea that Eric and Damon had had a conversation with each other right there about a half an hour before he had met her. Damon's eyes then move on to Eric who notices him looking at him and gives him back the smirk he constantly gives everyone else. Damon just turns away and ignores him.

Bonnie decides that they should just sit and talk at the grill instead of what they were doing earlier but somehow or rather Eric got his way and brought her back outside. He was up to something and it was definitely no good. Damon watched as she followed behind him like a little puppy. He was not happy but as usual he didn't want to care. But he did. He just continued drinking up all he could drink so he did not have to watch the soap opera that had been going on.

Bonnie and Eric are in his car making out and she starts feeling a little more uneasy each time he moves to her neck. She thought it must be the after effect of Damon's fiasco in the woods. She was always one who could spot if something was not right like when she did with Ben. She felt something different after kissing him but with Eric so far everything was fine except the part where he kept moving towards her neck.

"Eric…" She pulls away.

"Yeah?" He responds with an annoyed tone.

"I am sorry but I feel like going home." She says to him.

"Why? We are having so much fun." He says and moves in to kiss her again.

"Eric, stop. I just don't feel, I need to ask Matt something before he leaves."

She starts to sense something is not right.

"Call him."

"He may not have his phone with him." Eric agrees and then Bonnie gets out of the car to find Matt. Her intention was actually to ask him to take her home.

She goes in but is unable to find Matt, she does not know why but after one week of being with him suddenly she is feeling so afraid. She approaches the last person in the world she ever wanted to. "Vamp, have you seen Matt?"

Damon replies "I'm unfriendly, don't approach me."

Bonnie rolls her eyes at him, turns around to find Eric in front of her.

"Eric..."

"He's not here?" He asks her.

"No."

"Okay then, let me take you home."

"Okay."

She turns around to look at Damon for a while and he does not look back at her and she follows behind Eric.

He drives her home and then kisses her before she exits the car. She gives him back a hesitant kiss.
