Chapter 7: Last Moments

Damon's pov

I dropped my hands from her shoulders, and said, "Uh, I think I'll get going. I need sleep."

She smiled softly and nodded, "Goodnight, Damon." And what she did surprised me, she hugged me softly and kissed my cheek.

Now as a human, I blushed furiously.

And stuttered, "Uh, y-you too." Like a fool, I went straight to my room.

Gosh, just the touch of her lips.. to feel them on my skin, made me dizzy.. She was utterly beautiful, perfect, shy, truthful. She amazes me..
I gripped my hair in frustration, I couldn't be this way with her! I couldn't let myself fall harder for her, I needed to cut it and I was going to..
But tomorow.. oh, tomorow would probably be the end of me..
I was going to enjoy ever moment with her, to catch each glance of her eyes.. To just find an excuse to hold her in my arms for the last time..
I thought of all this as I took a shower, and then got dressed, and got into bed.
I rested my hands behind my head and stared up at the ceiling..
I was going to enjoy my last moments with, Bonnie.. Then I would have to break that promise.. something that would change me for who I have become to be..

Bonnie's pov

He actually blushed? I had no idea, and didn't ever think, that I had that type of affect on Damon Salvatore? Me? Making Damon blush?
I stood in the kitchen dumbfounded, of my own action, It was stupid, wasn't it? I mean why did I have that need to hug him and THEN kiss his cheek?
I huffed under my breath, and decided to call it a night.
I went to my room, and stared at his for a while, his door was open, I saw him with his eyes closed shut, and his chest heaving up and down..
To just be there with him.. I couldn't help but let my thought roam to being there, to be able to actually touch him, to feel his lips caress mine and my skin..
To rest my head on his chest, and to feel his arms wrapped around me in times of need..
All those thoughts made my heart thump, and my mind twirl with happiness... But yet, I knew that couldn't happen. It wouldn't.
Damon loved Elena, not me. Not the short redheaded girl, who was shy and afraid of everything, and just spoke her mind too much.
He only thought of me as a friend, which was what I wanted, better to have him as a friend than no not have him at all..

I finally was able to rip my eyes from him, and walk into my room.

I closed my door, and took a quick shower, when I got out I looked at myself in the mirror..
Why didn't guys like me? Or at least.. maybe Damon?
I knew we kissed several times, but none of them were real.. at least to him.. and maybe some weren't real me..
I wasn't beautiful, maybe I wasn't equal to him.. Was he too good for me?
I mean com'on!
A tall dark haired guy, who is perfect with dark midnight eyes, and pale skin and a perfectly structured face...
And a gril like me.. short, big brown eyes like mud, and freckles poured on my skin, and a childlike face.
Damon and I didn't look good together. Either did we emotionally go well together..

I bit my lip, and looked down from the mirror, and got dressed in my PJs'.

I lay down on the bed, and stared at the ceiling and thought about the promise he made..
Gosh, I hope he wouldn't break it.. I hoped to have him as a friend for the rest of my life.. I wanted him close to be..
I wanted him to at least care about as the way I cared about him.. But if he did break that promise.. There would be nothing I could do..
Because, deep down I know he might have meant it at that time, and maybe as time goes he'll slowly forget it..
He'll slowly lose that humanity he has now with me.. Because like all good things in life.. It always ends.. And our friendship wouldn't last.. Because at one point, I would want more.. And that would be the end of me..

Morning, Bonnie's pov

I woke up to the smell of eggs and bacon, and waffles?

I sat up, and rubbed my eyes. It was 8:00 AM, I yawned and stood up.

I quickly went downstairs and slowly walked in the kitchen, Damon was cooking?

I grinned and said, "Well, this is a first." And sat at the table.

He smiled and, "I thought, I'd make breakfast for you. You do like eggs right? Or bacon and waffles?"

I chuckled and nodded, "Love em'."

He grinned and placed the plate in front of me, just the sight of it made my mouth water, the eggs were fluffy and seemed perfect, the bacon was crisp, and the waffles smelled amazing.

I ate up, gosh, he cooked them perfectly.

"Damon, this is amazing." I said sipping some orange juice.

He laughed, "Why, thank you.
" He answered, and sat next to me, eating his food.

He chewed thoughtfully, then smirked, "Wow, it is good. Surprisingly."

I laughed, and we sat there talking, the thoughts I had last night seemed to kinda fade away, every time I was with him I felt positive, feeling that things wouldn't change. They would stay this way.. forever..

"So, what time do we see this ZombieLand?" He asked, putting the plates in the sink.
I stood up to help him with them, my stomach finally packed with food.

"Maybe 2 or whenever you want to go. Fine with me." I replied, and dried the dishes as he washed.

He nodded, I couldn't help but stare at him.. The sun reflected in his eyes, that shined so brightly.. And his lips.. Gosh his lips, were memorizing, a soft pink and smooth..
He was the air I would kill to breath.. He was pushing and pulling me closer to him.. I didn't know what I wanted. my emotions were so mixed..
I continued to dry the dishes, trying my best to not lay my eyes on him..

He seemed to notice, 'Damn it.' I thought nervously.

"You okay, carrotop?" He asked chuckling.

I rolled my eyes at him, and giggled myself. "Nice nickname." I said sarcastically.

He laughed, and ruffled my hair, his hands were wet from the sink.

I jumped from the chilling water that dripped down my back and chest.

"Damon!" I said in between giggles as he began to tickle me.

I laughed uncontrollably. His hands on my body, made heart beat multiple times.

He still continued, laughing himself.

He picked me up and sat me on the counter, smiling at me.

He just stared in my eyes, seeming as if it was the last time.. I looked into his, It was like my own personal mirror, I could see myself in them.. his eyes sparkled like stars in a velvet night sky.

I bit my lips, my heart thumped like a horse's hoofs..

My lips burned for him to just kiss me, at this moment I didn't even care if he loved Elena or if he didn't even feel love for me.. I just needed him.. Badly..

He began to get closer, 'This is it, Bonnie.. there's no going back.' I thought to myself.. All the emotions from last night came back..

I saw it in his eyes, that he did have a twinge of feelings for me.. How couldn't I have seen this? I knew he changed dramatically, but right when I actually told him we could be friends?

Then the moment shattered, he slightly pulled away.. My heart dropped.

"Um, we should start getting ready.." He murmured under his breath.

I licked my lips and nodded, "Yeah.."

He smiled, and held me by the waist and lowered me to the floor.

I giggled, "Thanks.. And thank you for the breakfast. It was delicous."

He smiled softly, and nodded, "Your welcome. It was my pleasure."

I sighed, and went upstairs.

I almost felt like gripping my hair in frustration.

I couldn't stand these emotions, they made me confused and just left me dumbfounded by every move I make.

I closed my door, and sat on my bed..
Just rethinking, all that happened.. How just the touch of his hands, made shivers run up my spine.
And just to feel his breath on my face, feel his whispers in my ear.. All of it was the very things unbinding me..

I bit my lip hard, and thought, "Okay, you need to think through this, Bonnie.. Tell him how you feel, go through the risk of him turning you down. Or be happy to finally have him in your arms, and to just feel his lips and to melt in his love.'
And the only descion I could make at this moment, was to hurry up and get ready.
Because I was going to do a test today... and it would come out to show either, I could be with him.. that he actually loves me or cares about me... or..
He only thought of me as a friend, and nothing more...
