Chapter Ten: Adventure
Brenda and Liv went back to Portland, Oregon to direct the coven, until, I feel ready for this role. Liv wanted to stay here with me, but my aunt and I convince her to not do so, since the coven trust her more than Brenda. Hopefully, they will be able to lead them to trust me...
After that day, Bonnie and I were inseparable. I was always at her place, helping her study for her finals. I admire her for that instead asking one of her friends to compel her teachers and not to worry about school, after all this drama. She wants to do it without any powers. She said to Elena, that she wants her grades to be good because of her, not for other reasons.
Rarely we were alone. I have waited patiently, for her to finish school, meanwhile I've prepared with Caroline and Elena, our official first date. I wanted it to be perfect. Just to think about it, I'm so nervous! She doesn't know about it, she will hang out with the girls, that day, then I'll deliver it at her door, an invitation to be ready, with instructions.
Her friend Caroline has been a good help concerning this. She was so excited to prepare me for this. It's been more than two decades, I have not been on date. I needed to be in a place that I'm at ease. For me, it's the kitchen, I love to cook, so we search for a cooking class that will occur in the Virginia Culinary Institute. They had a workshop, where we prepared several meals, then after we get served the food we cooked in a their five stars restaurant.
I was thinking to go alone and then invite her to dinner, but Caroline said that Bonnie would appreciate this activity to know each other. Elena pointed out, it will be something different and romantic at the same time.
I subscribe us, to the class, it will be Thursday next week. Check with the girls the menu, if she would like what we would have learned in that cooking class, they were ecstatic. I think it was a good sign.
Finally, I finish with school! With all this drama with Gemini coven, I thought I wouldn't be able to pull it off, but I did! Yay for me! Kai has been so supportive during that period. I can't believe I have almost lost him, forever! Let me not think of it, but enjoy every moment with him. Speaking of the devil, I just receive a text of him. Miss you... I answered, right away, Miss you too.
I wasn't ashamed anymore of my feelings! I can't believe we already said, we love each other. It took me so long to say it to Jeremy. But with Kai, it's so different and natural. I just hope he will act on his desire soon. I never felt like this before, anticipated a kiss that much. I have give him so many signs to do so, last week. It was during my finals, probably, he wants to wait a little bit. I like he's acting like a gentleman, but sometimes I wish he didn't. If someone would have told me that one day, I wanted to be affectionate with Kai, I would have said that person is crazy!
In couple minutes, I would meet Elena and Caroline for lunch and some shopping. It's been awhile we didn't do anything like this. I'm sure these two vampires would want all the little details about my relationship with Kai. Nothing has been official, there's not a lot to say, but I know it's going to that direction.
We spend around two hours just chilling, it was fun. Things between Caroline and Stefan seems to get better. I'm happy for them, they deserve each other. She appreciate that he wants to take it slow, after all, that happen between them. Caroline was glowing.
Damon find a way to get back Elena's memories, they are more in love than ever. I have to say, I was a little jealous of them, then I remind myself, that Kai and I, will get there some day.
I start to grinned when I saw an envelope with my name on it while I was opening the door of our dorm room. I knew it was Kai's writing, while I was studying last week, time to time, he wrote me some notes of encouragement.
"What is it?" Caroline asked.
"I don't know!" It was wax sealed, I teared to open it, febrile, so anxious. The message was on an old parchment paper. The writing was cursive.
My dear beautiful Miss Bennett,
You are invited to a fun adventure that's call all our senses. One part of the journey, you can wear something casual and the rest will be semi-formal. Do not worry, my milady! You have two good fairies that set up, already, your outfits. They won't give you any details of the date, they sworn secrecy. The punishment is DEATH! They will bring you to the location where this should start. Relax, Bon, you will have fun, I promised.
Can't wait to see you, Love you!
Your loyal servant,
Kai
I look at my two bestfriends, they were so excited, me too, but I want to know what he had planned for me. I didn't have enough to guess it.
"Elena, please tell me..."
"Bonnie we don't have time for this, right now, you have to get ready, go take a shower meanwhile we decide on your outfits."
I wanted to be stubborn but with vampire speed both of them push me in the bathroom. Ok let me prepare myself, I still want to look great for our first date. I squealed! OMG Kai and I we are going to our first date.
Quickly took a shower, Caroline did my hair and make up, while Elena was setting it up my outfits on my bed. She curled my bob with nice beach waves, the make up was sexy and classy. She put more emphasis on my green eyes, with gold eye shadow and black liquid eyeliner.
First outfit was casual, it was nice white T shirt, with gold butterflies, a light blue jean with gold belt with flat gold sandals. The second outfit was my favourite, it was classy and simple. Just a simple white summer wrap dress with a gold belt with the same accent than the bracelet and my stilettos. Plus, if my feet hurts, I can change to my sandals and it still looked great.
Still, I didn't know where we were going. They pushed me to get dress with my first outfit. Meanwhile I was doing so, I asked them, how I will change outfits, Caroline laughed as if I said a joke and said. "You know who you are talking to right?" I let it be, I'm sure Caroline has figure out all the little details, like she always does.
"Come on, Bon, we have to go now, if you don't want to be late"
We all left the dorm room to Elena's car. I was trying to figure out where we were going it wasn't far from the college. After five minutes, we parked in front of Virginia Culinary Institute. I saw Kai, near the door, listening to music, he seems nervous. I got out of the car, smile at him, nervous too. When he saw me, he gave one those smirks, that I learned to adore.
"Are you up for the adventure, milady?" He said while bowing comically.
"I guess I am, milord." I couldn't stop myself to laugh. He gently took my hand and direct me to the building.
Near the entrance, we see a sign cooking workshop that it's the room where Kai was leading me. I loved that surprise! I was so in shocked that I stopped to walk. Kai turn to me troubled.
"If you don't want to do it, it's ok, we can-"
"NO! I'm loving it, I'm just in shock, you planned all this for me..."
"You deserve the best, Bonnie! I want this to be perfect as our first date."
"Indeed you did, you really are my knight in shining armour ! Let's go to this adventure!" I couldn't stop to smile, never been that overjoyed.
So we enter the class room, we were the only ones, that subscribe today. The teacher was Alfredo Moretti, he was renown chef, he explain his past acknowledgements. The blackboard was showing the Menu, just by reading it I was hungry. Each of us, had a sheet, with the recipes. He explained, culinary arts are related to experience with our senses. Just follow the recipes, but taste the food see if it's what you want it to tastes and smells like. After we would eat the food we cooked. He said if we need anything just buzz him, he will be happy to assist us.
"Kai, I never done something like this, but let's try." I look the page in front of me.
VIRGINIA CULINARY INSTITUTE WORSHOP MENU:
Appetizer: Melon Balls wrapped with Prosciutto
Place melon balls into a bowl, and sprinkle with lime juice. Stir gently to coat. Wrap each ball with a slice of prosciutto, and secure with a sprig of mint. Arrange on a serving tray. Refrigerate until serving.
Meal: Seafood risotto
You'll need: a pack of mixed seafood, risotto rice, white wine, some tomatoes, pine nuts, salt, pepper and saffron. Take the seafood mix and fry it in little olive oil for just a couple of minutes. Add rice, fry for a while and then pour the wine over it. Cover it and leave to simmer until the rice is cooked. In the very end, add pine cones, sliced tomatoes and spices.

Tip the strawberries into a large bowl. Splash over the Cointreau, add the orange zest and sift in the icing sugar, then give everything a really good mix. Cover, then leave for 1 hr or more for the juices to become syrupy and the strawberries to soak up some of the alcohol.
We start to discuss what we will do. Kai will do the appetizer, me the dessert now, then after we do the main dish together. All the ingredients and the tools we would need were out, already for us.
"Do you like to cook?" said Kai while cutting the honey melons with melon baller.
"I love it, make me think of great times, I've share with Grams. You?"
"Yes I do, me too, it reminds me of someone, my mother." He smiled with so much of sadness my heart ached. I finish the dessert, taste it, it was so yummy, I couldn't stop myself to moan. I knew I was blushing from Kai's intense gaze. I didn't know if he was going to kiss me now. He was so tensed, his hands was gripping the counter. He look like he was about to devour me! Please do it! I decide to ease the air and change subject.
"So are you going to Jo's wedding?"
He clear his throat and said "I don't know, if I should go, maybe it's not a good idea."
"It's your sister, I know she would like you to be there!"
"I don't want to bring the Gemini Coven's drama to her life especially now that I know she would have twins. This would be a big problem! They should elope and leave this place..." He finished the plate, we put both of them in the fridge like in the instructions.
"Yeah I thought about that too, I agree with you, I was thinking to cloak them, so nobody would find them."
"Exactly..." we both grinned, happy that we understand each other.
There were several type of seafood displaying, we decide to go with shrimps. So I prepared them, meanwhile Kai was cutting the tomatoes in slices. I decide to add other spices that was available cilantro and some Cajun. So we prepared the risotto, following the instructions, it smells so good, my mouth start watering. I can't wait to eat it.
Kai took a small spoon to taste it. I knew from his face expression it was good. He closed his eyes, and licked his lips. I couldn't help myself to feel flushed and dizzy. He open his eyes saw I was looking, his face became adorably red. We waited ten minutes, and it was cooked.
Our teacher came back look at our meals was impressed with the presentation and the additional flavour for the risotto. So we had an hour before we can enter to his restaurant Mezzanotte. We got out from the building, the girls and their boyfriends were there. Caroline and Elena, took me before I can say anything to Kai.
Couple minutes of drive, we were back to the dorm. I went to the bathroom clean up quickly. Caroline did some touch up on my hair and my make up. I tried the wrap dress. I felt automatically sexy. "When Kai will see you, he's going to die!" Caroline said. I giggled trying to imagine his face. I know he wants me, I can see it in his face, but would he acted on it?
I can't lie to myself, I wouldn't mind... Maybe if it's going too far, I won't stop him, but encourage him. I shake my head feeling flushed and quickly follow the girls to go to the restaurant.
The cooking workshop went super duper well. Much better than I expected. It seems Bonnie enjoyed it so much. I couldn't stop to smile. Everything is going has planned. I almost messed up when she licked her spoon and moaned so sensually. Just to think about it, my blood started to boil.
I just wanted to forget about cooking and act on my primal instincts and needs. I was acting on one last shred of self-control. When I'm around her, I'm in sweet agony. I just want to kiss her and much more. I have to be patient. I want her to be more at ease with me. I want her to forget completely the old Kai that she knew. I think she did though, she would never said she loves me if she didn't mean it.
The girls picked her up to get herself prepared for the dinner. While the guys, had my suit, and products to help me to clean up. I shaved a little my beard but not completely. I realize that she like it more. She never told me, but I could see it, in her eyes. Fully shaved, probably make her think of the old Kai.
I had a nice beige suit with a black shirt. I look like a million bucks. I entered to the restaurant, Bonnie wasn't there yet. It was an exquisite establishment. They had a pianist playing live music. The decor was modern and all in white. They were a lot candles that make the place intimate and romantic.
A hostess direct me to our table. It was in semi private section of the restaurant. I sat down, trying to relax. I was so anxious, my hands started to sweat. Maybe she wouldn't like this, she's more layback. But if she didn't she would have said something right away.
I saw her entered in the restaurant. I stopped to breathe, she was looking amazing! Her dress was fitted all in the right places, sexy but classy. I lost my appetite instantly for another need. This dinner will be long.
She walked towards me with the waitress while she was doing so, I remark all the men were mesmerized by her beauty and the women, jealous of her. Bonnie was totally oblivious of it, which add more to her charms.
I cleared my throat, get up, place the chair so she can sit like a real gentleman, but in my mind I was one of worst scoundrel in the world! She thank me with a smile.
"Good evening, sir" she giggle.
"Good evening milady, are you ready for the second part of our adventure?"
"Yes I am ready to eat, our masterpieces! "
Alfredo Moretti came, gave some suggestions about some wine to take with our meal. I decide to pick Bonnie's choice pink wine called Gallo. Then the servers started to bring our appetizers. The combination was out of this world. It was so good, that we didn't talk, just savour it. Who would think meat with fruits would be so good? Quickly this dish was done.
After this they bring us our seafood risotto. She close her eyes, seems to be in another world, forgetting that I was there. I took the liberty to glance over her breasts And remarked she wasn't wearing any bra. I knew the difference when we were in 1994, sometimes she didn't wear them. Was she fully naked under her dress? I shivered to the core with desire. I needed to think about something else and fast. I decide to focus on my plate and quickly finish it.
The servers took the plates. "I can't believe, we cook these delicacies and it was so simple."
"I know, right, you see that in TV and it's seems so much more complicated!"
She smiled "Thank you Kai. for this wonderful time!"
"We are not done yet" as I said that the waitress came with our dessert. I took one bite, the mixture of the strawberries and citrus flavour was delectable. A feverish image came to my mind, bring me to the edge. If I pour this on Bonnie, how it will taste like? I could help myself to moan. I blushed a little when she look at innocently at me, saying "This dessert is heaven on earth! It's so good."
We finished it, said thank you to Alfredo for his amazing recipes, then we went outside.
After the dinner, we decide to go to a frozen yogurt stand near of the premises. Bonnie changed her shoes to be more comfortable. She took a coconut flavoured and mine was mango. Everything about this fragrance make me think about her.
We cross the street where there was a nice park. We walk a little in silence, enjoying our frozen treats. I find a bench to sit near a pond. It was refreshing in this humid spring early evening. The sun just came down.
"Do you want to taste it? " she said pointing her coconut frozen yogurt. I nodded, she fed me some. There were some piece of fresh coconut, which it was even better. I make her taste mine, but while I fed her, some of it, fell in the corner of her mouth.
"Bonnie you have some over here... " She tried to removed it, but it didn't work. I couldn't stop myself, I put down my head to hers and licked the excess of it. Her skin taste divine with the mango frozen yogurt. It was so good, it was like the forbidden fruit. I was near of her mouth and in agony. She was panting, her lips was an open invitation. I look into her eyes, they were a shade darker.
"Bonnie...?" I whispered, she smiled and approached her face to mine, closed her eyes. That's all I needed as a sign.
Bonnie was surprised from the looks of lust he gave her earlier during dinner, she was expecting him to be more rough. He starts to give her some butterflies kisses around her lips, her cheeks and her neck. It made her whimper, more eager and excited than ever. She started to feel some heat between her thighs. She wrap her arms around his neck to be more close to him and his welcoming warmth. He brush his lips to hers gently. She felt his proof of arousal, but she didn't move. She opened her mouth longing to taste him.
It was decadent, indescribable and addictive. She couldn't stop herself shivering and having goosebumps all over her skin from all his sweets caresses. She curls her tongue in his mouth and pull a little bithis hair. She gently touch his muscular firm chest and slowly went down to his nice abs. He let out a moan of pleasure. She couldn't stop herself to smile, feeling completely feminine, having that special effect on him.
She has to stop right now... She has to stop me, right now! I don't know I would have enough strength to do so. One of her hands start to caress my knee and slowly going up. My mind start to be foggy, all I could think of, at this moment, is to bring Bonnie at my place and realize finally, all these fantasies that have been longing for, since I've met her.
Our cups fell on the grass, none of us reacted about that. My hand gently touch her nipple that became hard instantly through the fabric of her wrap dress. Automatically, a possessive groan went out my throat like predator claiming his prey. It was so loud and fierce, that both of us separate ourselves, surprised. We were both out of breath, like we were running a marathon.
Her eyes were enticing and asking me to continue. I couldn't think coherently and I didn't have the will to stop. I kiss her again, taste again her sweet and unique nectar. My caresses started to be more bold. She was driving me crazy with her sexy noises she was doing with her mouth. I stopped, reminded myself where we were. Her eyes were hooded with want, she said "Kai...I don't want to go home yet..., can we go to your place?"
I wasn't sure if I heard well. Maybe it's my imagination... "Ummmm..." Come on say something you stupid!
"If you want to..." Is she kidding? I couldn't talk so I nodded, smiled, got up, took her arm and direct her over there as fast as I can. She chuckled mischievously, knowing damn well, the effect she has on me.
I hoped you liked it! By the way all of this is fiction! I don't know if the Virginia Culinary Institute does that kind of workshop. So if they doesn't, don't come to sue me please lol. Have a good week, see you soon. Pearlangel7
