Bonnie's POV
We had a light early dinner during which Damon kept sending me sly little smiles and I couldn't help but smile back at him because I knew how those lips felt on mine. God I wanted to kiss him again so badly, but I had to fight the urge because I am sure his father would frown on such familiarity at the dinner table but I would kiss those lips again before the end of this night, even if it killed me.
"So ladies are you looking forward to the ball? Our father always throws the most exquisite party's" Stefan asked dragging me out of my thoughts of Damon's sweet lips.
"Yes we are greatly looking forward to it and I will look forward to it all the more if you save me a dance MR Salvatore?" Elena said with a flirty smile at Stefan.
"I am sure I wouldn't want to dance with any other." Stefan said flirting openly with Elena and I had no idea how MR Salvatore couldn't see the way they were so openly flirting and teasing each other over the dinner table.
It was almost enough to put me off my dinner, and it kind of made me mad because I knew how MR Salvatore would react if it was me and Damon that were behaving like that. But because it was Saint Stefan and Elena I knew that they would get away with it because they always got to behave just how they wanted to.
"What about you Bonnie, do you enjoy to dance?" Damon's father asked me, pulling me out of my jealous thoughts.
"I do Sir, but I am afraid that anyone wishing to Dance with me will have very sore feet tomorrow." I told him while trying to fight the urge to squeeze Damon's leg that was resting ever so slightly against mine under the table.
"And you son, do you find yourself looking forward to the ball?" MR Salvatore asked Damon.
"Yes father I am indeed, I am hoping that Bonnie would save me a dance." Damon said smiling at his father and then turning to me and sending me a sly wink, almost making me choke on the mouthful of food I had just taken.
"I am sure I would love to, but are you not afraid of hurting your feet?" I asked with a small chuckle.
"I am sure that Damon will be prudent enough to wear sturdy shoes." MR Salvatore said causing Stefan to burst out in laughter and Damon to chuckle.
Dinner was spent with light hearted chatter and I felt better that Damon's father had included him in conversations and didn't put him down once, in fact he went out of his way to speak to Damon. Maybe it was the ball, we were all looking forward to it and the only problem I could see about the whole situation was that Elena and I had nothing to wear to a grand Ball.
When Elena and I got upstairs we intended to go straight to the room that held the clothes that we had been borrowing during our stay. But when we reached Elena's room we found the most beautiful pale blue dress hanging on her bedroom door and when we got closer we could see that there was a note pinned to it.
The note read To Elena a beautiful dress for a beautiful young lady. And it was signed MR Salvatore.
"It's beautiful..." I told her trying to not be envious that Elena had managed to get what she wanted yet again, or that she had charmed MR Salvatore so easily.
"I'm going to try it on now." She said excitedly "I'll see you at the ball." She said as an afterthought as she raced through her bedroom door.
As always Elena only thought about herself. She had the beautiful dress that she had somehow managed to charm out of MR Salvatore and she didn't spare a second thought for me, or what I would wear for the ball.
I seethed quietly to myself as I walked down the hall to my room. I didn't want to go to the room to seek out something suitable to wear to the ball, hell I didn't even want to go at all now. But Damon was expecting me to, and I really didn't want to let him down. Who knew how much longer I could stay here, or how much time I had left with Damon? However long it was I wasn't going to waste a moment of it sulking in my room.
As I walked into my room I decided I would allow myself five minutes to sulk over how unfair my life was, compared to Elena's and then I would go and find something to wear. And I was surprised to see the most beautiful dress lying on my bed also with a note pinned to it.
I walked over to the bed and the beauty of the dress hit me. The dress was a deep forest green with even darker green embroidery on the bodice. I was almost so taken with the dress that I almost forgot about the note pinned to it, and when I read it I couldn't believe my eyes. It read. To Bonnie, this dress is for a beautiful young lady, with a beautiful heart. I hope that you accept this gift as it is given to you in thanks for all the kindness and warmth you have shown Damon, and for helping me find a way to reunite with my son. MR Salvatore.
I couldn't believe that MR Salvatore could be so generous, as I ran my hands over the silky dress. But what surprised me more was the way he had spoken of Damon in his note. I hoped and prayed to any deity that would listen to me that the change in their relationship could last well beyond my stay.
By the time I had put on my dress and straightened up my hair there was a knock on my door and Elena came bursting into the room filled with excitement.
"What do you think?" Elena said while doing a little twirl.
"You look gorgeous" I said as she continued to excitedly twirl around the room.
"You look good to." She said as she took in my gorgeous dress in envy.
"Thanks" I said as I watched her dancing around the room in excitement and it left me hoping that Stefan would come by quickly to pick her up and take her to the ball because an excited Elena was an annoying Elena .
Time seemed to stand still and it felt like hours before Stefan knocked on the door and Elena still hadn't stopped dancing around.
"You look beautiful Elena, as do you Bonnie." Stefan said giving us a slight bow when I answered the door, and for the first time since we had arrived here I was happy to see him.
"You look handsome to Stefan." Elena gushed at him as he held out his arm for her to take and she all but pounced on him.
"I'll see you down their Bonnie" Elena said as she grasped his arm and started to pull him towards the door.
I was relieved when the door closed behind Stefan and Elena and I was finally able to get a little peace before Damon arrived to collect me. I was just starting to wonder where Damon was, and worrying that he had changed his mind about escorting me to the ball, when there was a knock on my door and Damon entered the room.
"Bonnie you look heavenly." He said as he came further into the room and closed the door behind him.
Damon stood looking at me intently, his intense stare was making my heartbeat quicken and my breath catch in my throat and it made me wonder why such an incredibly sexy man would want to bother with a plain Jane like me, let alone look at me in such a way.
"You look so handsome MR Salvatore." I said to him as I picked up the skirts of my beautiful new dress and curtsied to him. He bowed to me lowly never taking his eyes off mine, before he stood upright and walked over to me and took me in his arms and kissed me passionately on the lips.
Damon may not have had a lot of experience with women, but when he kissed me he made me feel like the whole world had stopped turning and nobody existed but us two.
"Oh Damon…" I said as his lips moved away from mine and he kissed his way slowly down my neck. Each one of his kisses felt like a small electric shock and I kept moaning for more.
"I've got a present for you." Damon said as he took momentary break from his kisses and I was left internally screaming for more.
"Damon I don't need a present." I said as he ignored what I had just said and turned me away from him and placed the most gorgeous emerald necklace I had ever seen around my neck.
"Damon it's beautiful." I said as I walked over to the mirror and looked at the looked at the beautiful gift he had given me properly. As I looked at the jewel in the mirror I could see that it was the real thing and that it must have cost a fortune. And there was no way I could accept it.
"Damon I can't, it's too much." I said as looking at his reflection in the mirror and seeing hurt in his eyes that was gone so fast that I thought I had imagined it. I knew I hadn't but now his face was set with steely determination, I knew that look. It was a look I saw a lot in future Damon's eyes when he thought he wasn't going to get his own way.
"Bonnie I want you to have it." He said as he lent down and began to kiss my neck again occasionally nipping at my flesh gently while his eyes locked on mine in the mirror.
I was fighting with myself to hold in the moans of pleasure that were desperately trying to escape as Damon wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me tightly to his body, his eyes never once leaving mine in the mirror.
"Damon, stop trying to influence me into forgetting about your gift. It's just too much." I said, noticing for the first time that even while not being a vampire. Damon still had the power to compel me with his charm.
"Bonnie it is mine to do with as I wish and I wish to give it to you and that is the last thing I will say on the matter." Damon said masterfully as he stopped kissing my neck but never once did his eyes leave mine in the mirror.
"Damon…." I said as I once again tried to convince him that he shouldn't give me the gift, but he cut me off quickly.
"Bonnie enough…" He said sharply and I had to fight back the urge to cry at the harsh tone he had used. I was used to the Vampire Damon speaking to me that way, and it wouldn't have had the same effect as human Damon's did. He had always been an ass but the human him had been nothing but sweet to me before now.
"Oh Bonnie I'm sorry." Damon said as put his arms around me gently and placed a loving kiss on my cheek.
"No Damon, I'm sorry. I must sound so ungrateful. Please understand that's not my intention, it's just… It's so beautiful and it looks so expensive." I said trying to reassure the man that was looking at me so sadly.
"You deserve it Bonnie, it looks so beautiful on you." He said as he turned me away from the mirror and kissed me passionately before breaking away and resting his forehead to mine.
"Let's just forget about our disagreement and go and enjoy ourselves at the ball." He said as he once again captured my lips in a passionate kiss that awoke my own desire for him and I really didn't want it to stop.
"You're right we better leave now, or I may never let you leave my room MR Salvatore." I said and I had to chuckle at the look on Damon face, he looked conflicted and it amused me. His face was bright red in embarrassment, but his already midnight coloured eyes were darkening with desire.
"Do not tempt me Bonnie." He said, his voice coming out deep and gravelly. I could feel it rumbling through his chest as he held me tightly to him and god it was just too sexy.
"Come on then, let's go." I said trying to hide my disappointment as I tried to remove myself from Damon's tight embrace, but he just held on tighter.
"Just one more kiss…" he said as he took my lips and kissed me breathlessly and if he hadn't been holding me so tightly I knew that my knees would have given way.
"Miss McCullough… you make me want to forget that I'm a gentleman" He said as he let go of me slowly and I had to take his arm to steady myself.
"Gentlemen are overrated." I said as we walked out of the room and made our way towards the ball.
