Over the next day Bonnie thought long and hard after Damon had given her the option to stay or go. She thought about the advice that Elena had given her. Went over in her mind and heart about what she felt for Damon and how he had confessed his love for her. She thought about whether or not she still wanted to be in a relationship with Alaric anymore. After spending much of the day thinking about these things and looking inside of her heart she knew what she was going to do.

Night time had fallen as she made her way to Damon's bedroom. His bedroom door was closed so to be polite she knocked.

"Come in." Damon said from the other side of the door.

Bonnie opened the door stepping into his massive bedroom. There were no lights on the only thing that lighted the room was the fire place which Damon was standing in front of. He turned to see that it was her that had entered into his room the light from the fire place casting shadows over his face making him look dangerous and mysterious. For a while they just stood there in silence admiring each other from across the room.

Bonnie shut the door behind her. "Damon."

"Bonnie." Damon greeted her.

"I know it's kind of late so if you're about to go to sleep." Bonnie said

Damon shook his head. "It's never too late for you to talk to me, that's why you came here for a talk?"

Bonnie walked over to him. "You could say that."

Damon watched her as she approached him. "This is about the option that I gave you to stay or go."

"Yeah it is." Bonnie said

Saying nothing Damon waited for her to go on.

"It was very self less of you to allow me to go if I want to go." Bonnie told him. "Putting your feelings aside and giving me a choice I really appreciate that."

Damon smiled at her. "All I want is your happiness, whether it be with me, him or someone else."

"I know." Bonnie said now standing in front of the fire place next to him. "It made it easier to come up with my decision."

"So you really have reached a decision that you're sure of?" Damon asked.

Bonnie sighed. "Yes I'm damn sure that I made the right decision."

"One that you won't regret either way?" Damon wanted to know.

"I won't regret it, that I'm sure of." Bonnie told him.

Damon felt his heart began to pound in his chest. "Alright let me hear it."

"I was afraid that I would be unfaithful to Alaric if I gave into my feelings for you. I didn't want to cheat on him because I felt that as the duty of a wife that I should remain faithful." Bonnie paused. "…..But then I thought about it long and hard and realized that I already had cheated on him."

The only other sound in the room at that moment besides her voice was the crackling of the fire place.

"Not just physically with the kiss and making out in the gym with you." Bonnie went on. "But emotionally as well because I'm having these strong romantic and sexual feelings for you."

Damon couldn't help but smirk at her admission because it pleased him to hear her say that.

"I don't want to live the rest of my life pretending that I don't have feelings for you Damon because that's something that I can't do." Bonnie whispered

Damon waited with baited breath.

Bonnie licked her lips. "That's why I have decided to stay."

"Could you repeat that?" Damon asked excitement creeping into him.

Bonnie let out a small laugh. "I want to stay here with you Damon."

Damon's icy blue eyes lit up with happiness. "You really mean that."

"I really mean it." Bonnie said "I want to stay here with you I want to be with you."

"Music to my ears." Damon told her with a smile.

Bonnie smiled at him. "Not only did you capture me , you captured my heart Salvatore."

Damon cupped her face in his hands. "I had no idea that when I took you that I would end up falling in love with you but I'm glad I did."

"You're not going to believe what I'm about to say." Bonnie went on. "But a part of me is glad that you kidnapped me because if you hadn't I never would have gotten to know you and never would have fallen for you."

His heart filled with more love and joy with every word that she spoke. "Sounds crazy." Damon said

"I know but it's the good kind of crazy if there is such a thing." Bonnie grinned.

"Do you have any idea what you do to me woman." Damon exclaimed.

"I have an idea because it's most likely the same thing that you do to me." Bonnie sighed.

Damon caressed her cheek with his thumb getting lost in her green eyes.

Bonnie pressed her body closer to his. "I have something to tell you."

"What would that be?" Damon asked.

Bonnie made sure that he was looking into his eyes. "I love you Damon."

Damon paused so overwhelmed by her confession that he was rendered speechless.

"Did you hear me?" Bonnie cocked her head to the side. "I said that I love you."

"I heard you." Damon told her. "I just needed a minute to gather myself."

Bonnie smiled.

Damon looked into her eyes. "I love you too Bonnie."

In a flash their lips crashed together in a scorching hot kiss. Tongues battled as their emotions took over. It didn't take long for the kiss to get hot and heavy. Bonnie could feel herself getting more horny the longer that the kiss went on. Damon felt her warm body pressed against his and was getting hot and bothered. He pulled away from the kiss so that they both could breath and began kissing her along her jaw line and neck, Bonnie tilted her head back to give him better access. He worked his hand under her shirt and felt that she wasn't wearing a bra. He caressed a bare breast in his hand flicking a thumb over her nipple. Bonnie closed her eyes moaning against his touch.

Just as he thought they were about to go there. As much as he wanted to go there with her he pulled back.

"Wait." Damon said breathing heavily.

Bonnie opened her eyes. "Why did you stop?"

Damon removed his hand from under her shirt. "Perhaps we should slow down a bit."

"For what?" Bonnie asked with a playful arch of her brow. "Don't you want me?"

"Oh yeah I really, really want you." Damon said with emphasis. "Very, very badly."

Bonnie grinned. "But?"

"But I don't want to rush into this too fast." Damon told her. "As much as I want to make love to you, I would rather take my time with you."

"I can understand that." Bonnie told him.

"Good." Damon said "Because I have made a habit of just jumping into bed with women and I don't want to do that with you because you're different and special."

Bonnie put her hand on his chest. "If you put it that way I would wait a life time for you Salvatore."

Damon wiggled his eyebrows. "Trust me you won't have to wait a life time."

Bonnie laughed. "So would you mind if I sleep with you tonight?"

Damon arched a brow.

Bonnie rolled her eyes. "Sleep, Sleep gutter mind."

"Oh." Damon said "Sure you can sleep with me in my bed, I'll be more than happy to share it with you."

"Great, I'll be right back." Bonnie kissed him on the cheek and left the room.

Slightly over five minutes later she was dressed in her pajama's and in that time Damon had changed into his pajama bottoms but he was shirtless.

"Ready for bed?" Damon asked

Bonnie's eyes scanned over his form in approval. "You bet I am."

They got into Damon's bed king sized bed and pulled in the covers over them. They laid on their sides facing each other and Bonnie wanted to giggle like a school girl even though they were just simply laying. They laid there for a moment just looking and smiling at each other.

"I'm happy and glad that I'm here." Bonnie told him.

"I'm happy and glad that you're here too," Damon said

Bonnie snuggled up against him and Damon wrapped an arm around her body and they fell asleep together.

The next morning Bonnie woke up with sunlight pouring into the bedroom. She sat up rubbed her eyes and looked around. Damon was not in the bed with her. Just as she thought about calling out to him the bathroom door opened and out he stepped with his hair damp and a towel wrapped around his waist. The towel hung low revealing that incredible V that lead down to a certain treasure. He had six pack abs and firm pecks and a body that would make many women weak in the knees.

Damon smirked. "It's not nice to stare."

"There's no shame in staring at a person with a body like yours." Bonnie grinned.

Damon's smirk grew wider.

Bonnie's eyes scanned over his body again before landing on his face, "Seriously Salvatore if you kept walking around like that it's going to be hard for me to resist jumping your bones."

Damon chuckled. "I'll get dressed." He gathered up his clothes and underwear and went into the bathroom to change. He came out fully dressed.

"What some breakfast?" Damon asked her.

"Yes I'll take some." Bonnie answered "But before that we should address the Alaric issue."

Damon pursed his lips. "Yeah him."

Bonnie sighed. "The issue that I'm still married to him."

"There is that." Damon said

"I can't be married to him and be with you at the same time you know." Bonnie commented

Damon walked over and sat next to her on the bed. "What would you like to do."

Bonnie looked at Damon. "I still care about Ric I do, but I'm not in love with him anymore and I don't love him like love you."

"So your solution?" Damon wanted to know.

"I think that I should divorce Ric." Bonnie said "The sooner the better."

"Are you sure about this?" Damon asked her

Bonnie nodded her head. "It's something that I want to do."

Damon reached over and ran his fingers through her hair. "I'll get my lawyers to start working on papers for you ASAP."

Bonnie smiled at him. "Thanks Damon."

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Because Damon had a group of high quality and talented lawyers and because of who he was and the connections he had divorce papers for Bonnie had been drawn up within four days after she let Damon know that she wanted to divorce Alaric.

Now came the issue of serving Alaric the papers. At first Bonnie thought about having someone else serve Alaric the papers but out of respect for Alaric she decided to that would do it face to face with her husband and that would be that. They had to come up with an idea to get Alaric to come where she would be able to do this. He wouldn't if he knew that Bonnie was going to serve him with divorce papers. So they had to deceive Alaric into meeting them some where.

Bonnie did this by calling him and saying that Damon was going to turn her over and release her in a certain location and that he had to meet her there to pick her up and get her back and Alaric agreed thinking that he was going to get his wife back. Bonnie felt a little bad for lying to him but this had to be done if she wanted to move on in her life with Damon.

Currently Bonnie was sitting in the car in the back seat with Damon. Henry the main guard was driving them and Klaus sat in the drivers seat for extra force and to have Damon's back. Their main goal was to have Bonnie serve Alaric the divorce papers and to get out of there alive. The number one propriety for all of the men in the car was to make sure that Bonnie stayed safe and unharmed. They were getting closer and closer to the location as each minute past by.

"You know I could have just had one of my lawyers serve him the papers." Damon let her know.

Bonnie nodded her head. "I know but I feel like I have to do it this way."

"I respect your decision." Damon told her.

Bonnie took his hand and held it in hers.

"Are you nervous?" Damon asked

"Just about how Ric will react I know that he's going to be angry." Bonnie commented. "I just don't know what he's going to do about it."

Damon ran a thumb over her knuckles. "We'll get you out of there as soon as there is a sign that anything is going wrong."

Klaus spoke from the front passengers seat. "Don't worry sweet heart everything is going to be alright." He said looking back.

Bonnie looked in Klaus's direction. "Thanks Klaus."

They arrived at their location a spot with several large ware houses. Henry drove them up to warehouse eleven and pulled in. The warehouse was one of those were you could drive a car into. There was a car already there, one that had belonged to Alaric. He had arrived before them eager because he was expecting to get his wife back. Alaric stood in front of his car with Tyler, and one of his bodyguards. He watched as the slick car that contained his wife pull up.

Henry stopped and parked the car turning off the engine. After a minute the car doors opened, First stepped out Henry, then Klaus, then Bonnie followed by Damon. Alaric's eyes scanned over them all eyeing Damon with hate before they landed on Bonnie. Alaric wondered what Damon was doing there but he'd figure it would be sweeter Damon having to watch as Bonnie went back to him her husband.

Bonnie took a couple of steps forward with some paper in her hand.

Alaric stepped forward to meet her a smile on his face. "Bonnie Thank God that you're okay."

"Of course I'm okay Ric I told you that before." Bonnie said without returning his smile.

Alaric's arms wrapped around her as he attempted an hug. "I knew that I would get you back, I knew that you would come back to me eventually."

Bonnie's body tensed against his hug. "No Ric."

Alaric frowned dropping his arms from around her. "What do you mean No?"

Bonnie took a half of a step back looking at her husband. "I didn't come here to reunite with you."

"What are you talking about Bonnie? You told me that you were coming here to go back with me." Alaric expression was confused.

"I know what I told you." Bonnie said

Alaric kept his eyes on her. "What is this about then?"

Bonnie licked her lips. "I came here to let you know that I've leaving you."

Alaric blinked his eyes. "Excuse me I don't think that I heard you right."

"You did hear me right I'm leaving you Ric." Bonnie confessed tone serious.

"That's not true." Alaric denied/

Bonnie showed him the divorce papers. "It is true."

Alaric snatched the paper from her studying it. "You're divorcing me?" He lifted his eyes back to her.

"I'm sorry Alaric but it's something that I had to do." Bonnie told him.

"I don't understand." Alaric said with a shake of his head.

"I know that this is a shock to you." Bonnie said

Alaric's eyes went back to the paper. "No this is not right." He pointed at Damon. "He put you up to this didn't he, made some kind of threat to make you do this."

Damon watched Alaric expression unreadable.

"There were no threats from Damon." Bonnie corrected. "This was my idea, I wanted to do this."

"After all that I have done for you and given you." Alaric was now getting very upset. "You're going to divorce me just like that?"

Bonnie sighed. "I'm no longer happy in my marriage with you Ric and I care about you still but I'm not in love with you anymore."

Alaric looked like he was really hurt by those words. "Tell me what happened to bring you to this."

Bonnie shrugged a shoulder. "A lot of things happened, including Damon."

"Damon?" Alaric questioned.

"While I was with Damon things happened, we got closer." Bonnie explained. "And now I have feelings for him."

"Feelings?" Alaric was really getting upset now. "So what are you telling is that you cheated on me?"

Bonnie licked her lips. "Yes."

Alaric looked back and forth between Bonnie and Damon. "So did you fuck him or what?"

"It didn't go that far. But I did kiss him more than once." Bonnie admitted. "But you should know that I fell in love with Damon and I do love him."

Damon couldn't help but smile at her confession.

"You love him?" Alaric sneered.

"Yes." Bonnie said "And I want to be with him."

Alaric shifted an angry glare towards Damon. "What did you do to her Salvatore?"

Damon eyed Alaric coolly. "I didn't do anything to her this was her choice."

"He's right." Bonnie said "Please just sign the papers and we all can move on with our lives."

"I can't believe this." Alaric snapped. "You're leaving me for him?"

"Let's agree on something for once Alaric." Damon said "Give Bonnie what she asks for and this war between us can end."

Alaric glared at Damon. "You're just saying that because she's chosen to be with you."

Damon shook his head. "You're wrong about that. I was willing to let her go back to you if that was what she wanted. That's the difference between you and me I can put her feelings before mine can you do the same?"

"This is bullshit." Alaric spat returning his attention to Bonnie. "You allowed him to turn you against me."

"No." Bonnie said firmly. "You allowed this to happen at least in a way."

"Are you serious?" Alaric said

Bonnie looked at her husband. "I could have been back with you a long time ago if you would have given Damon what he had asked for to get me back. But you refused to do that why? Because you didn't want to lose or give anything up to him. It made me wonder how much you truly love me."

Damon shifted on his feet. "Let's call a truce for Bonnie's sake."

Alaric sneered. "A truce?"

"We both care about Bonnie. If we keep up with this feud she might get hurt, so I'm willing to call a truce for her safety," Damon suggested.

Alaric's face reddened. "It will be a cold day in hell before I settle for a truce with you."

"Look at you." Bonnie told him with disappointed. "Look at what you've become."

"Well I guess it's true in what they say." Alaric directed at her with bitterness in his voice. "You can't turn a whore into a house wife."

Bonnie's reaction was swift she reached out slapping Alaric hard across his face. The slap echoed around the warehouse and Alaric's head snapped to the side.

"Now I really know that I'm making the right choice." Bonnie told him.

Alaric rubbed his cheek where her hand print now was. "I'm not saying any damn divorce paper." He told her.

"Do what you want. But I'll be married to name in you only." Bonnie retorted "It won't stop me from being with Damon, it's over between us."

With that Bonnie started to walk back towards Damon and this was something that Alaric couldn't stand to see. He pulled out a gun aiming it at Damon.

"I'll put a bullet between your eyes Salvatore before I let you walk away with my wife." Alaric said

Bonnie turned. "No Ric you can't hurt him without hurting me."

"Should have thought about that before you cheated." Alaric said

Suddenly Henry had Bonnie lifted up moving her behind him. Then with a blink of an eye everyone had their guns drawn and there was a stand off. Damon, Klaus, and Henry on one side forming a protective shield in front of Bonnie. Alaric, Tyler, and the guard on the other side all men with their guns drawn.

"You don't want to do this." Damon warned.

Klaus and Tyler had their guns pointed at each other. "Let the woman go Alaric and leave her be."

"This is none of your business." Alaric spat at Klaus.

"This is my business." Klaus corrected. "Seeing as you are now threatening my friends with guns."

Alaric watched as Bonnie was standing behind Damon. "If you attempt to leave with her blood is going to be all over this place."

"Figured that you might see it that way which is why I came up with a back up plan." Klaus commented.

"What plan?" Alaric asked

Klaus gave a signal and suddenly about twenty other men entered the warehouse quickly surrounding the group and all aiming their guns at Alaric, Tyler, and Alaric's guard.

"Meet my back up plan." Klaus said "You're really out numbered now drop your guns."

Tyler and the guard hesitated but put their guns on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Alaric asked looking on either side of him.

"They're being smart I suggest that you do the same." Klaus said

Alaric slowly put his gun down until it rested on the ground.

"We're leaving now." Damon spoke taking Bonnie's he lead her back towards the car.

"My men will keep their guns on you until we are a safe distance away." Klaus let Alaric know. "So no sudden movements."

"This is wrong." Alaric nearly whined.

Klaus shook his head. "Just give Bonnie what she requested it's for the best of you all. Come on Henry let's get out of here."

Henry put his gun away and so did Klaus They walked back to the car in which Damon and Bonnie had already gotten back into. They got into the car and it started backing out of the warehouse.

All Alaric could do was watch as the twenty men had their guns on him and the two others.

"This isn't over." Alaric yelled out as the car drove off. "It's never going to be over between us Bonnie."
