I would like to thank you all for your continuing support. Enjoy chapter 8...

"No problem...Kol." Bonnie replied shyly. "See it's a lot better with the singular. Please come in." Kol said while motioning Bonnie to get into his room. Bonnie looked at him suspiciously and got in his room. Kol followed and after taking a final look in the corridor to make sure that noone saw Bonnie entering he closed the door. Bonnie's heart was beating so fast. She had this unexplained stress that she had every time she was near him. She jumped when the door closed. Kol walked until he was face to face with Bonnie. He put on his sexiest smile and approached her until he was centimeters away from her. Bonnie looked down and started breathing fast. "I would tell you to take a sheat but they are waiting for us so I am going to be quick." Kol said. Bonnie gathered all her strength and looked him directly in the eyes. "Earlier today I had an...encounter with one of the servants at the corridor." Kol said while started walking in circles around her. Bonnie frowned. "And what does it have to do with me?" She asked in a low voice. "Oh come on Bonnie. I saw you. You don't have to deny it. I know you saw us." Kol said and smiled evily at her. Bonnie took a deep breath. "So what?" she said raising her eyebrows. "Nothing." Kol said. He was now behind her. He grabbed her shoulders and leaned in. "You can watch all you want...as long as you keep your beautiful mouth shut." he whispered in her ear. Of course he would flirt with her taking advantage of the information Vicki gave him earlier in order to manipulate her. Bonnie's heart was pounding in her chest. This was the first time he touched her. "So what do you say? Could you to that for me? Would you let this be our little secret?" Kol whispered again. Bonnie took a deep breath and turned around to face him. "I had no intention to reveal it whatsoever. It is non of my business. Your secret is safe with me." she said coldly and walked past him. She opened the door and as soon as she was ready to leave Kol's voice was heard once again. "It's a pleasure doing business with you Bonnie." She looked at him for a last time and walked out of the room. She was walking away when the door opened and Kol got out. Bonnie stopped dead in her tracks. Kol walked past her. "See you at the dining room..." he said with a smile. The exact same time Kai was coming towards them. He exchanged a murder look with Kol who just continued his way. "What did he say to you?" Kai asked Bonnie. Bonnie blinked a few times before answering. "He just greeted me. You know the typicals." she replied with an awkward smile. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be down in the dining room?" she asked. "You were late and I thought to come and check on you." Kai replied looking deeply into her emerald green eyes. "Well as you can see I am perfectly fine. Should we keep going?" Bonnie said breaking eye contact and started walking towards the direction of the dining room. "Bonnie promise me...that you are going to keep a distance from him." Kai said narrowing his eyes. Bonnie gave him a questioning look. "I just don't want you anywhere near him." Kai added closing the space between them and caressing her cheek. Bonnie lowered her eyes. How could she stay away from him when he was the one she loved and craved. "And why is that?" Bonnie asked making eye contact with Kai once again. "I don't like him. I don't trust him near my sister let alone near you." Kai said. "Oh I can assure you that I am not his type." Bonnie said. "You don't know that." Kai replied. Bonnie escaped his touch and started walking. "Will you?" Kai asked again. "If that helps." Bonnie replied still walking towards the dining room. Kai seemed more relieved and followed her.

Kol had just entered the dining room and placed himself next to his future wife Liv. "What took you so long?" she whispered. Kol looked around at the others eating peacefully. "Getting prepared. And Liv if you want us two at least to get along interrogation is not helping." Kol said and Liv gave him an offended look pressing the knife deeper into her stake. Kai and Bonnie now entered the room. They greeted the others who just lifted their heads to nod and returned to their food. "Hungry much?" Kai whispered in Bonnie's ear. She smiled lightly at his comment. Kol noticed. She was placed across of him. Bonnie gave him a quick look and caught him closing his eye to her. She widened her eyes. She turned to Kai relieved that he didn't see that and then back to Kol giving him a warning look. Kol simply smiled and motioned her to sush. "I know we talked about this." Bonnie whispered extremely low. Kol returned to his food but Kai who listened a whisper turned to Bonnie. "Did you say anything?" Kai asked. "Me? No." Bonnie lied easily. In the other side of the table Caroline was eating with Damon at her side. None of them was interested into each other and that was easy to see since Damon was looking towards Elena the whole time. Elena seemed lost in her own thoughts. She was thinking about the flower and the note. She had a feeling that Damon was indeed the one behind this but the fact that he didn't admit it was making her sceptical. Whoever her secret admirer was she wouldn't back off. Enzo had already cheated on her with Sarah Salvatore. She was free to do whatever she wanted. Caroline was a little ashamed that Klaus saw her naked and then they had a moment before they get back in the castle so she was avoiding any kind of contact with him for now. Klaus on the other hand was giving her some secret quick looks during the night unnoticed by everyone...well almost everyone. Nadia was serving the wine when she noticed Klaus looking at Caroline. She still wanted him and got extremely mad with what she saw. She dropped the wine on Rebekah who was nearby. "What are you doing?" Rebekah asked surprised and annoyed. "I am so sorry my princess. I got distracted." Nadia said shooting daggers at Klaus. "Yeah you better be sorry cause you are washing this." Rebekah said pointing at the stain on her dress. She was caught off guard with that incident. She was thinking about how messed up her personal life was. She was supposed to marry prince Jeremy, she had an ex servant who was clearly still in love with her,Matt and she also had another prince blowing her mind away cause Rebekah may hadn't admit it to herself but she was attracted to Stefan. And then there was Katherine. She was trying to at least get along with her future husband but it wouldn't work. The only people caring for her were her family and prince Elijah. In the thought katherine turned towards him. She couldn't but notice how elegant and handsome he was. When she caught him looking back at her she gave him a shy smile and immidiately turned her head away. Jeremy and Anna were exchanging some lustful looks undercover. Same goes for Sarah and Enzo. Well Elena did notice but they knew that she knew. As long as noone else knew she was fine with it. Galen came in to swip the dropped wine. He gave a smile to Liv since they worked together earlier to knock out the rat from her room. Liv smiled back at him. Kai gave a warning look at his sister and Kol looked surprised but amazed at the same time.

Soon the dinner was over and everyone was back to their rooms. Nadia was so pissed off. Klaus dumped her because he didn't want to cheat on his future wife Katherine and now he couldn't take his eyes off of the Forbes princess. "I will destroy you. I will break you like you broke my heart." she mumbled to herself. She pulled it together and got out of her room. April got in her way. "Where are you going now?" She didn't reply and just kept walking. "Nadia don't do anything stupid. You knew that this relationship was doomed from the beginning. He was clear that he feels nothing about you. Let Klaus go." April said to her friend. "Like you did with Elijah..." Nadia said. "Yeah like I did with Elijah." April said. "And are you happy?" Nadia asked. April lowered her eyes. "Just like I thought." Nadia said and continued her way. She was soon out of Katherine's room. She took a deep breath and knocked the door. Katherine was sitting in front of her mirror. She was taking her necklace off when she heard the door. She got up and opened the door looking surprised at Nadia. "I am sorry my princess but I have to tell you something." Nadia said. Katherine gave her a questioning look. What could she possibly want from her?
