Okay, so this is the continuation of the previous chapter. I wasn't actually going to write this, but then after the last post I had more than one person all excited about the road-trip, so I sat down and wrote a follow-up. Since then, I've written about four more one-shots, so I just hope they are as good as some of my previous ones. So here is the infamous Bamon road-trip for you all to enjoy.

Summary: Bonnie takes Damon up on his offer and they hit the road


Bonnie stopped trying to read the passing road-signs: they were going too fast.

She had no idea where they were, or where they were headed. Damon sat in the driver's seat, a light grin on his lips as he directed the car with one hand, despite the high speeds. Seemed that he had a thing for speed.

Bonnie should have been worried. Freaking out even. But she couldn't bring herself to be.

Pendulum's 'Watercolor' was blasting through the speakers, and she sang along regardless of her company or situation. Every now and then she was aware of Damon's eyes flicking towards her and the back to road. She said nothing.

If fact, the two of them had said very little since they had roared out of Mystic Falls that afternoon, without one word to Bonnie's family, or Damon's. No doubt Elena would be frantic with worry in a few hours after she realized that Bonnie was missing. And Stefan would notice Damon's disappearance, put two and two together and…

Damon seemed to be having the same thoughts. And in response, Bonnie simply grinned, and Damon stepped on the gas.


The expected call from Elena actually came earlier than anticipated. It had just gone three in the afternoon and they had pulled up outside a bar when Bonnie's phone rang. Flipping open her phone, she was greeted with Elena's name on the screen.

Bonnie sighed.

Damon cast her a sideways glance but they both knew that not answering would only make things worse.

Bonnie flipped open the phone.

"Hey Elena."

"Bonnie?" Elena's voice was shrill. "Thank God! Are you okay? I saw you leave school with Damon. Is everything alright?"

Damon, who was wincing from what he could hear of Elena's frantic voice, rolled his eyes.

"I'm fine," Bonnie told her friend calmly. "We just headed out of town for a while. We'll be back tonight."

"What do you mean out of town? With Damon?"

Bonnie winced now as well as Elena's voice went up a few octaves. In the background she could hear Stefan, sounding similarly worried. Bonnie groaned silently.

In this moment, Damon took it upon himself to fix this problem and promptly plucked the phone from Bonnie's grasp. He put it to his ear with a smile.

"Bonnie's phone."

"Damon?"

Damon smiled. "Unfortunately. Look Elena, we're about to head out of range, and frankly, I'm bored of this conversation. I'll have her back by eleven. Bye."

Bonnie heard Elena yell Damon's name once before he snapped the phone shut and tossed it to her.

"Thank you," Bonnie told him gratefully.

"No," Damon said with a smile. "Thank you."


"Go again."

Damon's voice was determined. And slightly pissed off.

Bonnie grinned as another shot was placed in front of her. Damon took his and downed it without even waiting for the call. Bonnie followed a second later.

He had lost track of how many shots they'd had, and yet the witch didn't seem drunk at all. Indeed, she currently regarded him with sexy smirk and raised eyebrow.

An old friend of Damon's owned the bar they were currently in, and Damon had by some miracle managed to convince the witch to do shots with him. However, his plan of getting her smashed and obviously taking advantage of her had gone out the window when he found out that she seemed to have a bottomless liver.

"How long we gonna keep going at this Damon?" she asked him lazily as she threw back another shot.

"Until I figure out how you're still sober," Damon growled.

Bonnie laughed and to his surprise, leant in conspiratorially. The sudden proximity made his blood burn and he unknowingly inhaled her scent.

"Magic, dumbass," she laughed quietly.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm using magic to absorb the alcohol. I can last longer that you can, and my liver actually works."

"Damnit," Damon said, annoyed at himself for not thinking of this before. "So I take it my plan of getting you drunk and seducing you doesn't have much of an edge now does it?"

"Who says I need to be drunk to sleep with you?"

Damon looked hopeful.

Bonnie burst out laughing.


They jetted out of the bar at about nine, after Damon had slain Bonnie at pool and she had then returned the favor at darts. Damon had, unsuccessfully, tried to convince her to spend the night in a motel with him; Bonnie had laughed and told him Elena and Stefan would most likely organize a search party… or a mob.

It was five to eleven by the time Damon and Bonnie walked up to the front door of the Salvatore house, and it was pouring down with rain. They were both soaked, but neither seemed to notice, instead seeming to revel in it. They stopped in front of the door, mindless of the rapid drops hitting them.

"So," Damon finally said, breaking the silence. "Is this the part where you tell me that no one must ever know about what happened today?"

To his surprise, Bonnie laughed. She seemed to be doing that a lot today.

"Why would I say that? I spent the day out with a friend. Nothing happened."

"Unfortunately," Damon muttered, trying to ignore the tightening in his chest when she called him her 'friend'.

Bonnie laughed again. "Damon." He met her gaze. "If you had really wanted to take advantage of me today, that pathetic attempt with the drinks wouldn't have been the end of it. You were the one behaving today, not me."

Damon stared at her for a second, at a loss for words.

Bonnie smiled. Not a light, carefree smile. A sexy, suggestive smile.

"But you were much better behaved than I would've guessed. And, I guess good behavior should be rewarded."

Damon barely dared to believe it when Bonnie leaned towards.

But the feel of her lips on his was very, very real.

Her mouth was soft, warm, just as he would have guessed. It burned against his cool skin, and he felt an electric current running between them. Her teeth grazed his bottom lip and his tongue flickered along hers in return. Her mouth opened for him, and they engaged in battle for dominance that neither of them would surrender. Her hands came up to his neck, and his found her waist. Pulling Bonnie towards him, he melded her to his body. Her fingers wound their way through his hair, and his hands moved along the waistband of her jeans and hem of her top, slipping underneath. He felt the smooth tight skin of her stomach, and felt her own hands run over his abs and chest, lifting his shirt. He was going hot and cold all over with no signs of it relenting. This wasn't like kissing some random human he picked up in a bar. This wasn't like kissing Katherine. This wasn't like he'd imagined kissing Elena would have been back when thoughts of her had plagued his mind. This was fire and electricity and reverence and like nothing he had ever experienced. And possibly like nothing he would ever experience again. So he was determined to keep this for as long as possible.

Unfortunately, fate was once again working against him.

The front door opened and light spilled out, revealing the figures of Elena and Stefan. Bonnie wrenched herself back from Damon before Stefan and Elena opened the door, both of them immediately missing the contact.

She met Damon's eyes once. They were intense.

She responded in the only way she knew he would understand. Winked. Greeted Elena and Stefan with a cheerfully deceptive smile. And walked inside.


Even after Bonnie become a vampire and joined Damon in eternity, they still vanished for one day every year. Took off across the country on one of their road trips. They were never gone for more than day, no matter where they went. But it happened every year without fail. No one questioned it. Bonnie and Damon were not overly sentimental, so this trip was the one instance that no one mentioned.

It was simply one day, among many, that was all about the Simply Complicated Art of Enjoying Enjoyment.


So there we go. I can't believe the next Vampire Diaries episode isn't out until December 2, what bullshit! And I don't like this new Rose person, and not just 'cause she slept with Damon. Or that Jeremy and Bonnie are probably gonna hook up. I like Jeremy but he should have been with Anna and needs to stay away from Bonnie. As does this new Luka chap, even though he seems alright. Anyway, I'm rambling. Feel free to cut me off with reviews...
