Chapter Ten
Bonnie stiffened slightly as Damon placed his arm around her shoulders. It was a very territorial gesture and though it made her a bit uneasy she managed to give him a half smile and reply to his question about how long she wanted to stay. She couldn't help the smile that spread across her face when she spoke of the guy belly dancers. Hearing the crackle of the fire as it roared to life her attention was averted so she didn't see the looks that passed between Damon and Alex. Alex's expression was dark scowl of annoyance while Damon's had the hint of pure amusement to it.
Nearby Serena sifted uncomfortably in her seat as she watched the two of them mentally butt heads with each other. Damon turned out to be the victor of little show of testosterone as Alex looked away with narrowed eyes. Oblivious to what had just happened right over the top of her head Bonnie watched as the flames of the fire reached up to touch the darkening night sky.
As the fire grew she could feel the heat coming closer. The musicians that had slowly made their way towards the bonfire began to play a cheerful tune. Bonnie turned her gaze towards Alex as he tapped her on the shoulder. "Care to dance?" His expression was hopeful and she really hated to burst his bubble but she wasn't in the mood to dance, especially not with him. Her feet were already throbbing in the places he had trodden on before. "Actually," she began in a sweet apologetic voice as she stood up, "I have to go to the ladies room."
Alex looked as if her were about to stand and offer to escort her but Serena stepped in and saved the day, at least for the moment. "I'll walk with you Bonnie. I'm sure these two handsome guys cam find something to occupy themselves while we powder out noses." The twinkle in her eyes and the smile on her face was irresistible and Bonnie found herself smiling somewhat gratefully back. "Well ok, we'll be back in a bit." As they made their way to the bathroom Bonnie notice how quiet Serena had become and was about to ask what was the matter when a shriek pierced the night.
End of Chapter Ten.. I know I know.. terrible place to leave off and it's shorter than the last chapter but I had a writer's block and just came up with this at midnight soooo hopefully another thought will hit me tomorrow and I can tell you exactly who shrieked and why they did it. well tah till then. As always comments are welcomed may they be bad or good.
