"What do you want to do after dinner?" I asked Bonnie.

"I was thinking about sitting out and listening to the waves roll in. I mean other than one of those cheesy CDs how often do you get to do that," Bonnie smiled.

"Hey we could have a bonfire and roast s'mores!" Caroline enthused.

"What the hell is a summore?"I frowned.

"It's a dessert that's popular when you're camping or anytime you have a bonfire. You roast the marshmallow and then sandwich it between two graham crackers and a piece of chocolate. It's called a s'more because it's so good you'll always be asking if you can have some more," Caroline grinned. Meanwhile Bonnie and Elena had already been raiding the supplies they'd brought.

"Tons of chocolate, check," Bonnie smiled as she raised the chocolate bars.

"Four boxes of graham crackers!" Elena raised the large family size boxes.

"Now all we need is a fire," Caroline said and she looked at the men with her best pleading look. Caroline was a master actress so it didn't take her long. Soon we were all settled around a large bonfire on the beach. Bonnie was sitting next to me trying to help me get the marshmallow roasting figured out. It wasn't as easy as it sounded. I had burnt my first three attempts but it was nice sitting next to her.

"Okay that's it!" Bonnie enthused as I pulled the skewer back to us. She had two graham crackers and a square of chocolate which she squished onto either side of the marshmallow and then she pulled the whole thing off the skewer and handed it to me.

"Oh wow! Bekah these are great you've gotta try this!"

"I'd love to but Stefan keeps eating the marshmallows!" Rebekah whined and Stefan grinned. A minute later Elena passed her a s'more and Rebekah smiled like a child on Christmas. "Thank you."

"Enjoy," Elena smiled. Meanwhile she was sitting next to my oldest remaining brother and holding his hand to help him keep the skewer the right distance from the fire. Somehow I don't think it required both of them to hold the skewer but he certainly wasn't correcting her. As the marshmallows finished she assembled the s'more and then offered it to Elijah. Their eyes locked as their hands touched and my suspicions were confirmed.

Meanwhile Klaus and Caroline were playing with their food. Klaus smeared melted chocolate all over Caroline's lips.

"Hey you're getting it all over!" Caroline frowned.

"Let me help you with that love," Klaus said cheekily before he leaned in and kissed the chocolate off. Caroline retaliated by beaning him with a marshmallow.

"I made one!" Rebekah announced triumphantly showing off her creation before biting into it.

"These are great!" I enthused as I made my fist one solo. Bonnie smiled and I offered it to her. As she finished eating it from my fingers I leaned in and kissed her quickly.

"S'more, S'more, S'more, S'more," Caroline and Elena began to chant as they saw us. The rest of us were obviously confused.

"If you're doing something while eating s'mores and someone starts chanting then you have to do some more of whatever you were caught doing," Caroline explained.

"Oh s'more, s'more, s'more, s'more," Rebekah and Klaus joined in with the chanting. Bonnie was by now a brilliant shade of red but she was laughing. I gave her a look that told her I would follow her lead on this. She began to lean slowly in and I wrapped an arm to cradle the back of her head and as I had seen both my brothers do many times I gave her a searing kiss. When I finally pulled back she could not stop staring into my eyes and I didn't want her to. There were hoots and calls from some of the others around the campfire but I barely heard them. Finally Bonnie turned her attention back to the campfire but she very deliberately laid her hand on top of mine where it had sat between us.

Klaus, Elijah and Stefan told stories while the rest of us listened with fascination. After a while Caroline curled against Klaus and he wrapped his arms around her with a smile. Rebekah and Stefan went for a walk on the beach. Cautiously Elena laid her head against Elijah's shoulder and he wrapped his arm around her. She had better be serious about what she was doing to my brother because if she hurt him I was going to make her life a nightmare.

Finally we put the bonfire out and called it a night heading back to the beach house. Everyone dressed in their pajamas and began settling. Klaus and Caroline had been lip-locked on their way into his room. My sister had taken advantage of that fact and invited Stefan Salvatore into her suite. Again if he hurt her…well need I say more?

I was in my room when the door opened ever-so-quietly and Bonnie walked in dressed in a short pajama set with foreign postcards printed all over it. I looked at her expectantly but for a long moment she just stood there. Then she sort of wandered around the room even though there wasn't anything really personal in here. Finally she seemed to work up courage for what she wanted to say and she turned back to me.

"Kol, I want to sleep in here…with you…but can we just sleep?" she asked. I smiled and wordlessly raised the blankets letting her settle and then curling her against me. "Thanks."

"My pleasure Bonnie."

(A/N: Thanks for all the great reviews! I'm glad you're enjoying.)
