Chapter 10: How Does That Feel?

No matter what Bonnie said or did, she couldn't get the image of Elena on top of Damon out of her head. She didn't actually see it but she kept thinking about it and about Damon. She heard that the best way to get over a man was to get under a new man. She also figured that if it ticked Damon off then it would be an added bonus. She had to think long and hard because most of the men living in mystic falls either has a girlfriend or dated one of her friends. Her task seemed almost impossible then it hit her that she didn't actually have to move on to another guy but she had to make Damon think that she did.

She thought that if Damon saw her moving on to someone else then he would stop showing up everywhere. She was getting sick of seeing his face everywhere that she went. It was also making it harder to resist his charms. She needed to be proactive with the Damon situation. She went through the list of men that she knew and wouldn't mind being used either. Stefan was out for obvious reasons, Alaric was on the maybe list, Jeremy was out because of their past together, Tyler wasn't even in town, not that she would ever consider him.

There was always Matt but she wasn't sure if he would go along with her plan. It wasn't fair, she knew all these hot guys but the majority of them had dated one of her friends. She decided that she would at least approach the subject to Matt cause he was after all the safest choice. She went over to the grill cause she was hungry; it would give her the chance to talk to him.

"Hey, Matt, are you that busy right now?"

"No, actually you're timing couldn't be better, I'm just about to take a break. Why did you need to talk to me about something?"

Before she could even broach the subject his phone went off. He smiled as he answered it; she could tell by his tone that it was Rebekah, Klaus's sister. She could tell that they were more than friends. Ok, she figured that he was out of the equation. She told him something came up.

She decided to go and have a chat with Alaric because maybe fair play was needed. After all Damon did sleep with her best friend. She went off in search of Alaric and she hoped that she had better success with him. She doubted that he would even do something like that because he was one of the few people that liked Damon. Before she even made it towards Alaric, as she was walking towards the town square, she ran into Tyler of all people.

"Wow, Tyler, I thought that you left town?"

"I did but I came back and you look like you've been busy. Who got you pregnant?"

"It was Damon Salvatore."

He started to laugh quite loudly, then he said, "I'm sorry but I thought that you hated him. What happened?"

"It is a long complicated story but it happened when we were stuck together in another dimension."

"So are you and him still together or was it a onetime thing?"

"No, it's over with, I thought that it meant more but I was wrong. Damon just hasn't gotten the message yet though."

Right at that exact moment Bonnie saw Damon walking towards her and then she said, "Maybe this will make him leave me alone."

With that Bonnie pulled Tyler into a passionate kiss. He let her and proceeded to kiss her back. Damon just stood there in shock about what he was witnessing. He immediately went towards them and pulled them apart.

"Just what the hell do you think that you're doing? Get your damned hands off of her."

"Mind your business, Damon this has nothing to do with you. If I want to kiss Tyler, I will, hell if I want to take him to bed then I will. I'm single and so is he. What's going to stop us from hooking up?"

"Well, what about your friend, Caroline or did you forget that she used to date him? I highly doubt that she would be happy about this new development."

"I didn't forget anything about Caroline but she's gone to New Orleans to be with Klaus. I don't think that she would care about us hooking up. I mean if we can forgive her for being with Klaus then she could surely forgive us. Besides from what I've heard about Tyler, he has amazing skills in the bedroom."

Tyler knew exactly what Bonnie was doing and it didn't bother him a bit. The reason that it didn't bother him was because he was still mad at Caroline and he wanted to stick it to Damon. He let Bonnie do all the talking but he didn't contradict what she said either.

"Your just kidding about him right? I mean what could you possibly see in him?"

Finally Tyler spoke up, "Well, for starters I don't go sleeping around with every single woman that I see, unlike you. Hell, I was away from my girlfriend for a whole summer and in the middle of nowhere with a hot girl and I still stayed faithful. When me and Caroline were together, almost everyone was lining up to tell her that I would break her heart but she broke mine instead. I didn't even see that one coming. Say what you want about me but I'd never treat any woman like you did. Come on Bonnie, let's go to my house. Hey we have that in common, neither one of us have parents."

"I never thought of it like that before but my dad was hardly ever home anyways. Yea, I would like to see your house, it's been awhile."

Then they left Damon standing there in shock of the events that he could hardly believe it. Bonnie and Tyler were laughing all the way to his house. When they arrived there, he turned towards Bonnie.

Then Tyler said, "You don't really need to come inside, if you don't want to. I know that was mostly for Damon's benefit but I'm not complaining. That was some kiss that you gave me though."

"Yea, it was mostly for Damon's benefit but I have to say that it was really good. I would have never considered you for this assignment though."

"What are you talking about?"

"I wanted to find someone to pretend to date me, in order to get Damon off my back."

"Oh, I think that I understand, you don't want to be tempted to fall back into his bed right? If he thinks that you're dating someone then he will stop pursuing you and you won't be tempted to get back together with him. I know what you're going through; it's why I refused to be friends with Caroline because it would have been just too hard to do."

"Yea, exactly right, so what do you think, will you help me out, Tyler?"

"I don't know, maybe on one condition, we have to tell and convince Caroline that it's true."

"You want me to lie to my best friend?"

"No, I will, just don't contradict what I tell her. Do we have a deal?"

"Ok, you have a deal but for it to work everyone has to think that it's real because Caroline and Damon know too many of the same people that we do, ok?"

"Yea, that shouldn't be a problem but if we're going to be convincing for Matt at least there needs to be sleepovers. He will know that it's not serious if there isn't and he lives in my house ok?"

"Fine, we will convince Matt that we're really together and there's always my empty house too."

Tyler looked a bit nervous as he said, "How far are you going to take this?"

"As far as I need to take it: besides just because we're pretending to date, it doesn't mean that we can't fool around too."

"I can't tell if you're serious or just playing with me."

"Well, I'm already pregnant but I do still have needs though."

"I'll think about it but I'm not sure if it's worth ruining our friendship over."

That's how the fake romantic relationship between Bonnie and Tyler started but will it turn into something else?
