Chapter 13

After picking out several pretty dresses Caroline, Elena, and Aj decided to go to Carolines house for some girl bonding.

"So Care, hows your love life?" Aj said winking playfully

"oh um you know" Caroline mumbled.

"Oh c'mon Care, Ive seen the way you and Matt have been looking at eachother lately and if you guys decide to date, its totally cool with me." Elena said rolling her eyes but smiling.

"You sure 'Lena? I really like him but I dont want to go against girl code."

"No worries Caroline its fine."

"Alright then... So Im hoping He'll as me out soon. What about you Aj? Ive seen you around with the new guy and Stefans brother, any sparks?"

"Oh I dont know. Theyre both ridiculously hot" Aj said blushing

"Runs in the family with the Salvatores" Elena said winking

"Yes Elena, you and Stefan will be a gorgeous couple" Caroline said laughing as they continued gossiping for awhile, enjoying themselves but missing Bonnie who was still training.

Damon sauntered in to the mystic grill walking up to the bar and promptly ordering his favorite bourbon from the bartender, Matt.

"Thanks quarterback." Damon said with a smirk as Matt set his drink down.

"Damon Salvatore." He heard a girl say from behind him. He turned around to see a blast from the past.

"Annabelle. You havent changed a bit" Damon said with a wink.

"Just Anna now. I have changed since 1864. Im meaner now that my nmom was taken away from me. That was your fault incase you dont remember. You and your brother got all wrapped up in Katherine land and when they locked Katherine in the tomb they threw my mother, Pearl, right in with her."

"And Im supposed to care why...?"

"We have a mutual interest in opening the tomb Damon. If you can get Emily Bennets Grimoire, I have a witch who can open the tomb. Ive been spying and have become friends with the Gilbert boy. He mentioned your brother and Katherines twin are dating, sorry Elena the doppelganger. She just doesnt have the appeal Katherine did. Anyways, get him to get the grimoire or get it yourself."

"Agreed, Elena doesnt have the same appeal and Ill see what I can do about getting the grimoire. But just know Anna, if youre playing me, I will kill you."

Anna clutched his hand in hers and started to crush it without barely even moving.

"Your forgetting Salvatore, I may look 15 but im 753 years old and infinitely stronger then you are."

"Point taken" Damon said grunting and rubbing his hand as it healed.

"So we have a deal then Damon?"

"We do."

After leaving Carolines, Aj had decided to go to the grill. She had invited Bonnie who was on her way now. She walked in the bar smiling as she saw many people she knew from school, after waving hello's she sat down at the bar where Matt was working and ordered a coke.

"Alright Mattykins?"

"Alright Ajakins?"

"Indeed I am very alright Matty though I must insist you join in me and Jeremys next game of hide and seek. The boy is a cheat. I need help keeping him honest."

Matt rolled his eyes.

"Aja last time I played with you guys you cheated and put an alarm on Jeremys phone to go off every 5 seconds alerting his hiding spot"

"Matthew!" Aj gasped. "That was not me"

"Sure Aj what ever you say" Matt said with a laugh as he walked away to serve his next customer.

"Fancy seeing you here" Aj heard to her left and found Damon sitting drinking, as always.

"Hey Damon, whats up?"

"Nothing just admiring my view" He said looking at her causing her to blush.

"What are you up to today Aj?"

"Waiting for Bonnie, shes meeting me here soon."

"Ah yes witchy."

Before they could say anything else Klaus walked up on Ajs right taking a seat.

"Hello Aj love, Damon" He said nodding.

"Hello Nik" Aj said giving him a hug as Damon nodded in acknowledgement.

"what brings you here today Nik?" Aj asked pleasantly

"Oh come to grab a drink at the local pub and talk to a beautiful girl"

"Oh stop being so charming" Aj said blushing red

"I cant Love, Its impossible" He said winking at Aj. Damon scoffed.

"So anyways, theres Bonnie. Ill see you guys Later Aj said walking away. As she turned back she saw Damon talking to Nik. They didnt seem too friendly.

"Hey Bonnie." Aj said sliding into the booth Bonnie had just sat down at.

"Hey Aj! I missed you guys. Grams has been teaching me alot of stuff and Im really making progress."

"Thats great Bon Im happy for you!" Aj said smiling. Bonnie was an enigma of light and Aj loved seeing her so happy.

"Saw you with Damon and the new guy, whats up there?"

"Im not sure, Ive only just met them but I rather like them. Nik is charming and nice but Damon is dark and mysterious. Both are alluring."

"I feel ya" Bonnie said winking. Aj loved Bonnie she was so easy to be around and wasnt pushy like Caroline. As they continued to talk she noticed Damon stand up and leave abruptly as Nik smirked.. She'd have to see what that was about Later.
