Hello Everyone! Thank you for the comments and I see that you all kind of liked he kiss. ;-p
Well now, Bonnie and Damon will be maneuvering around that and also there's Klaus. Interesting stuff all around.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Bonnie felt like the room was spinning as she stood motionless as Damon's lips caressed hers. A million thoughts flew through her mind, but one stood out 'His lips were soft'. She felt his hands moving up and down her torso and when she felt his hands grip the sides of shirt, she broke the kiss absolutely breathless and grabbed both of his hands, "Dam…Damon…stop", she said moving away from him touching her swollen lips and looking at him, "what was that?"
Damon blinked for a few moments. He didn't expect to kiss the witch just then, but he had felt something building over the last couple of weeks and he had to do something. He had figured that he would kiss her and get it out of his system, but kissing her…well…it doesn't exactly curb any feelings…desires…or whatever it could be describe as that he felt for the witch at the moment.
"Damon…why did you do that?" Bonnie asked grabbing his arm.
"Because…", he began, "well…I wanted to rattle you a bit".
"Rattle me…by kissing me out of the blue, for what reason?"
"Look…it was just a kiss, no big deal…you know, like the kiss between you and Klaus".
Bonnie raised an eyebrow, "I don't believe you…does this have something with Elena and Stefan…did you like try to kiss her again or something and she turned you down…"
"No…this has nothing to do with Elena".
"This? There's a this?" Bonnie asked.
"Look…just forget about it…it was nothing", Damon shrugged, "keep your eyes open around here and I will check in with you soon".
"Damon…", Bonnie said as he turned around to head towards the window.
"What?" he asked without turning around.
Bonnie opened her mouth to say something but a knock on the door interrupted her and she turned around, "Bonnie, are you ok in there?" Klaus voice drifted through the door.
Bonnie turned to look towards the window and noticed that Damon was gone, "I'm fine…umm…", Bonnie began as she lifted a perfume bottle off of the dresser and broke it sending the perfume all over her body and in the air. She figured that Klaus would be able to smell Damon, so she needed to do something, "crap…one minute…", she walked over to the door and opened it.
Klaus stared at her for a few moments and then wrinkled his nose, "What happened?"
"I was a little clumsy with my perfume…", she frowned, "I was being lazy, I did a spell and it kind of went wrong…I guess, I'm still a little shaken up about what happened tonight".
Klaus nodded, "I just wanted to check on you, I know tonight was very intense and you are not used to witnessing a war between supernaturals".
"I know, but I guess I am getting used to it…sometimes, I guess there's a reason why my mind won't allow me to remember what my life was like before I was attacked in the woods".
"Maybe…but you don't think I'm a monster do you, please tell me that you know that everything that I have done is to protect you and myself".
Bonnie stared into Klaus eyes. The eyes of the monster that would not hesitate to end her life if she crossed him in any way and she smiled, "I know that everything you have done has been for my benefit and for yours, I know that you would never hurt me…not like Elena and the Salvatores have".
"And I never will".
"Did Catina believe the same?" Bonnie asked walking away from him.
"Bonnie…"
"Klaus, I know that you and Catina had some type of relationship…I could see it in her eyes when she looked at you, that is why she threatened me and you killed her…you did away with her so easily".
"Catina was a servant to me, nothing more".
"Did she know that…am I nothing more than a servant?" Bonnie raised an eyebrow looking at him.
Klaus smiled and touched Bonnie's cheek, "You and I both know you are soo much more than that, with one look you could probably bring me to my knees…how could you ever be just a servant to me?"
Bonnie placed her hand over his and dropped it walking away from him, "Thank you and I hope that I am not as disposable as Catina was".
"I promise you, you are not", Klaus said from behind her.
"Good", Bonnie replied looking in the mirror as Klaus stood in back of her.
SSSSSS
Damon entered his bedroom after leaving Klaus' mansion and stripped off his leather jacket. He could still taste the witch on his lips. He didn't expect to grab her the way he did and plant one on her, but he had never been one to control his impulses.
"Damon…", Elena's voice said from the doorway of his bedroom.
Damon turned around and looked at her as she walked inside, "I just had to come see you", she stated.
"Why…where's Stefan?"
"Do you really care?" Elena smirked as she moved closer to him.
Damon looked past her towards the door, "Is this a joke?"
Elena smiled as she placed a hand on his cheek, "No…not at all…its something like a dream", she said leaning up and placing her lips on his.
Damon closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her pulling her closer to him. As his lips danced with hers, he felt her hands travel up to his hair and felt her fingers running through his locks. He moved his hands up and down her back.
"Damon…", she whispered in his ear…only her voice wasn't hers any more.
He broke the kiss and suddenly realized that he was not with Elena, but with Bonnie. He took a few moments looking at her as her emerald eyes clouded over. "Is there something wrong?" she asked.
He stared at her for a few moments before taking one arm and lifting her up off of the floor and threw her down on the bed straddling her. She giggled as he bent down and captured her lips in hungry kisses.
"What do you want Damon?" she whispered in his ear as she lifted his shirt over his head.
He looked down and before he could answer, she disappeared in front of his eyes.
Damon quickly opened his eyes and realized that he was in the middle of his bed…alone…and the sun was shining through the window, "What the hell?" he whispered before collapsing back down onto his pillow.
SSSSSS
Bonnie stood in the middle of the coffins in the basement looking around. Between Klaus and Damon the previous night, sleep was something that didn't exactly come easy. She was stuck between disbelief where Damon was concerned, confusion where Klaus was concerned and frustration that she had no idea what to do with these coffins. If she opened them, Klaus' family would be free and if they were anything like him, Mystic Falls would become a buffet for them.
Every time she closed her eyes the night before, she replayed the kiss with Damon over and over in her mind. She knew that he was going to do something, she just wasn't sure what. It was weird…very weird. Sure he had leered at her before, but that was Damon…he liked to leer and make people uncomfortable.
The kiss…she had to admit was nice, but was she turning into some vampire whisperer? First Klaus and now Damon? Was she giving off some kind of pheromones that said, 'Come kiss me please, Vampire?' And why was it that all of the borderline psycho ones were falling for her? Or not falling…she had no idea what Damon was doing. He had spent the better part of his time in Mystic Falls chasing after Katherine and now, he was chasing after Elena. She would not allow that kiss last night to have her believe for one second that Damon was attracted her in any way beyond someone that he was curious about.
"How are you doing?" Klaus asked entering the basement.
"Not very well, I still can't figure out how to open these coffins…was it a Bennett witch who sealed the coffins?"
"I am not sure, but I guess not if you can not find it in the grimoire".
"Weird…how did you escape this fate?" Bonnie asked turning to him.
"I missed that family meeting", he smirked.
Bonnie smirked back, "I'm sure".
"But I am sure that you will figure out something".
Bonnie looked at him, "To reunite you with your family, I will do whatever I need to".
"I believe you and I want to talk with you about something in particular".
"What?"
"You're afraid of me", he stated.
Bonnie looked around at the coffins surrounding them, "I'm not afraid exactly".
"Then what are you?"
"Can we not talk about this surrounded by coffins?" Bonnie asked.
Klaus smiled, "Sorry…follow me…"
Bonnie picked up the grimoire from the floor and followed Klaus up the stairs out of the basement. When they reached upstairs, he closed the basement door and locked it, "Come", he ushered toward the living room.
Bonnie walked towards the living as her thoughts ran rapid and took a seat on the couch. Klaus joined her, "Bonnie, I know that this is all new to you…it may be a little overwhelming, but I want you to know that I am here to protect you and it's not just because you have shown your loyalty, but mostly because you are a beautiful young woman and I don't think you have realized that yet…you have unimaginable power coursing through your veins and I want you to know that it is only a portion as to why I am attracted to you".
Bonnie felt the temperature in the room shoot up. While Klaus was saying all the right words, she felt like this was some kind of dream—there was no way that she had Klaus saying these things to her and Damon kissing her the night before. This kind of thing only happened to Elena and Caroline, not to her.
"Should I not say these things to you?" Klaus asked searching her eyes.
"Um…yes…I mean…no", Bonnie stood up tucking her hair nervously behind her ear, "I mean…thank you, I'm just not…"
"Not used to hearing things like that…I understand, you were often eclipsed by Elena and Caroline, but that is because people are blind to what you possess Bonnie".
"And you're not blind to it?"
"No…not at all".
Bonnie looked at him, "I believe that and thank you for making me feel special".
Klaus smiled, "I hope that I can convince you not to be fearful of me any longer".
"I'm not…its just, this is all new to me…that's all".
Klaus reached over and placed his hand on her cheek and caressed it with his thumb before placing his lips on hers. She breathed out as she felt his hands moving towards her neck to pull her closer. "Kl…Klaus…", Bonnie breathed breaking the kiss, "I have to go to the University library and do some research…I'm sorry to end this suddenly, but…I don't know if you know this…", Bonnie said moving over, "this is just new to me and I don't know how exactly to react here".
Klaus smiled and nodded, "I understand…how about I start to properly court you?"
"Court me?"
"Yes, I believe you would say date you…so how about I make dinner plans, there will be no blood…no fighting…just two people having dinner", Klaus promised.
"Ok, well I guess I should go…I think there may be some things in the occult department of the library to help me open the coffins".
"Well do you need Jeremiah to come with you?" Klaus asked.
Bonnie smirked, "You saw me last night, do you think I need a bodyguard".
Klaus stood up as Bonnie rose from the couch, "My mistake", he stated.
She smiled as she watched him way out of the room and then her mouth turned into a straight line. Somehow, she felt as if she was losing control of a couple of things…
SSSSSS
Damon entered the old musty basement in the crevices of the Anthropology Building at Mystic Falls University. He looked around in disgust as he looked at all of the dusty books. Who knew that this would be dirty work helping the witch? Well dirty…and confusing. As soon as he opened his eyes earlier that morning, he began to replay his kiss with Bonnie and his dream over and over in his head. He wasn't sure what his feelings for the witch were for the moment, but he knew that it wasn't feelings of someone who was ten seconds from ripping her throat out anymore—but she also wasn't someone that he didn't want to have in his world. These feelings surfaced from out of nowhere and he wasn't exactly pleased with them to say the least.
"Damon?" Bonnie asked suddenly appearing in front of him carrying three old books in her arms.
"Judgey…what are you doing?" he asked
"I'm trying to search these books to see if there is anything about opening coffins…"
Damon looked around at the dozens of books and then back at Bonnie, "And what makes you think that this place has a book to help".
Bonnie looked up at the shelf and touched a book brushing off dust to read the title, "Well when my Grams passed away, they moved some of her books down here…so…I was thinking maybe…", she shrugged.
Damon felt a tinge of guilt as soon as she mentioned her grandmother and then he noticed how she was somewhat avoiding looking at him. He sighed, he knew that things would get weird between them, "Ok…let's talk about last night…"
She froze and looked at him, "Damon…"
"Ok, first…I know that you weren't expecting me to kiss you…"
"You mean maul me…no".
Damon blinked, "I did not maul you, I kissed you".
"You grabbed me and basically planted your lips on mine for some unknown reason and then let me go and ran away", Bonnie turned away from him.
"I did not run away, your boyfriend was knocking on the door", Damon snorted.
Bonnie turned around, "Are you serious…wait…why did you kiss me last night?"
Damon shrugged, "You were there…I was there…I felt like it".
Bonnie's eyes bugged out, "You kissed me because you felt like it…why…because you got tired of kissing Elena with no reciprocation…have you formed some kind of rivalry with Klaus in your head?"
"Look…obviously, my kissing you was a complete mistake and you didn't like it…"
"I most certainly did not like it", Bonnie folded her arms.
"Oh you didn't like it?"
"No".
"Then why were you gasping for breaths afterwards".
"Because you tried to suck the life out of me".
"Oh really?"
"Yes…really".
Damon raised an eyebrow, "I don't believe you…you let me get pretty far there…", Damon moved closer to her, "I think I halfway had your shirt off before…"
"Stop…stop!" Bonnie put her hands over her ears, "I don't want to hear anymore of your gross exaggeration of what happened last night…you caught me off guard and I was stunned".
"Don't get many kisses like that, huh?"
"Shut up Damon", she walked away from him.
"But did you like it?" he asked walking up behind her.
She turned to look directly into his eyes, "No", she remarked coolly, "and besides all of that, you are in love with Elena and I have no interest in being a consolation prize".
"Oh right…the whole Jeremy-Anna thing", Damon nodded with faux concern.
"You know, I really hate you and sometimes I wonder if I am completely out of my mind to even trust you with what I am doing with Klaus…do me a favor, don't kiss me again", she snapped.
"You know, when you get all angry and self righteous…you have an aura about you…"
"Damon…", Bonnie sighed, "what is this?"
"What do you think this is?"
"I honestly don't know because I know that we could barely stand each other a couple of months ago and suddenly you are kissing me and…"
"And you're not hating it", Damon supplied.
"I'm not attracted to you".
"Oh no?"
"Yes".
"Yes, you are attracted to me?"
Bonnie rolled her eyes, "Damon…stop!" she stomped her foot, "this doesn't make any sense, we have never looked at each other with more than contempt and now I find it hard to believe that you are suddenly attracted to me when you have consistently been all about Elena".
"Elena's not around and besides all of that, I have consistently chosen you over Elena since all of this began".
"Right", Bonnie scoffed.
"Do you know how much crap I've endured because I've been trying to keep them from getting close to you or saving you…she basically hates me and I am doing this to protect you".
"Because you know in the end that Elena will be safe if Klaus is gone".
"Bonnie, how many times do I have to tell you that its not just about that".
"Then what is it about?" Bonnie asked, "because you have never gave me any indication that you see me as anything more than an expendable member of the gang".
"You are not expendable".
"Ok".
"You're not".
"Fine…so you won't kiss me again, right…I already have Klaus kissing me, I don't need you confusing me".
"If you didn't like me, you wouldn't be confused…the kiss would mean absolutely nothing and you would have mind wammied me as soon as it happened".
"You have no idea what you are talking about".
"You just don't want to admit that something is going on between us…it may be a purely physical thing, but something is definitely going on", Damon moved closer to her.
"Damon…", she warned him.
"What?" he asked innocently.
"This…can not happen because we barely like each other and we have to like more about each other than just kissing each other at inopportune times".
"Inopportune times?"
"Yes".
"Like now", Damon moved closer to her and cornered her up against one of the bookcase.
"Damon…don't you dare…"
"Don't I dare do what?" he asked looking down at her with both arms closing her in.
Bonnie looked at Damon and she swore that there was some kind of spell at work, but she felt something radiating between them, "I…I need to go", Bonnie said ducking under his arms and picking up some books, "we can meet up again soon…"
"If that's what you want", Damon smirked.
"Yes, that is what I want", Bonnie packed her bag and headed out of the basement.
Damon shook his head as his cell began to vibrate in his pocket, "Abby refused to come", Stefan stated on the other end.
"A pitiful mother to the end", Damon scoffed, "so I see your job was actually easy".
"Not exactly, Elena and Caroline didn't exactly want to take no for an answer, but Abby was adamant".
"I see and are you on your way back?"
"Yes, Elena and Caroline are in the store picking up some things".
"Well that is one bullet dodged".
"How's Bonnie doing?" Stefan asked, "Klaus tested her and after what happened with Elena, I know that she had to second guess this plan".
"I reassured her that Elena will forgive her for everything she's done".
"Good…I knew that she was ready to break".
"Well she didn't and she won't".
"You have a lot of faith in her, you two have come a long way", Stefan replied amused.
Damon thought back to the kiss the night before, "You have no idea".
SSSSSS
Bonnie hopped into her car and felt her heart beat which was beating rapidly; none of this made any sense to her. Damon had kissed her and she didn't hate it. She didn't want to make his head explode, she didn't want to set him on fire, she in fact, wanted to kiss her again. The truth was, when she wasn't thinking of how rude, disgusting and evil he was, she did wonder what it would be like to be the object of someone like Damon's desires. It wasn't like she had some kind of weird fascination with crazy vampires, but she was a normal girl (in a way) and she had to begrudgingly admit that Damon had a certain appeal…and he was a good kisser.
"What is wrong with you Bonnie?" she whispered as she closed her eyes and leaned against the headrest sighing.
Abby refused to come…bullet dodged?
The feelings between Bonnie and Damon are unexpected…what happens now?
