And the second part is here. Hope you like it!.
The competition was about to start and Bonnie wasn't feeling confident at all.
"I can't believe you actually nominated me, I'm not a Miss material"
Bonnie said already worrying about, where is Caroline when you need her? The pretty short girl wondered.
"You'll be great, you are a beautiful young lady, you just need to stand there smile and say your name, I bet people will love you" he said completely sure of it
"At least you better clap for me" she
teased.
"Oh I don't know that ginger looks nice" he said just to annoy her.
Bonnie rolled her eyes and wondered if Damon would be still out there, he'd probably be already at home. She said to herself. She wanted him to be there, it was true at first she didn't want to see him but once she heard his voice when he called her she realized she couldn't deny her feelings anymore she wanted to spend time with him, but she couldn't find him.
"Okay, they are already calling the pageants" Kai said smiling "you'll be the best Bunny"
Bonnie just nodded. Trying to get confidence.
"Bon" she heard a known voice, but it wasn't his.
"Hey, good luck!"
"Thank you Stefan, I was pushed to do it" Bonnie said and Stefan already knew by who, at least that's what he thought.
"Damon, huh?"
"Uh, nope, me, Hello, I'm Kai Parker"
Stefan was surprised to say the least, who was this guy? And where Damon was at?.
Bonnie introduced Kai to Stefan and his beautiful friend.
Stefan did the same with Daniella.
"Gosh, I'm lucky you aren't in the contest you are really pretty" Bonnie said
"Shut up! You are gorgeous, Good luck, even when you don't need it" Ella said.
Bon then was called and was heard by everyone because of the stereo.
Quickly Bonnie and five more girls were in the stage. Two of those girls were blonds, one was the ginger Kai joked about and the other ones where brunettes , all of them were pretty, Bonnie tried to take a deep breath.
She looked at the bunch of people starting to come closer to the stage and to cheer for their friends, suddenly Bonnie heard a whistle.
"You look grate Bon" Tyler shouted
"I wanna marry you" Caroline shouts and Bonnie laughed, she loved her friends
Caroline and Tyler had decided to leave the horror house line and come to support Bonnie. After all Bonnie running for Miss Mystic Carnival wasn't something you could see everyday.
Stefan,Kai, Daniella, Tyler and Caroline were now in the first row ready to cheer for her.
Bonnie was glad to have such a good friends but one was missing.
"Good night Mystic Falls, welcome to the twentieth Miss Mystic Carnival Contest"
People cheered, shouted and clapped, Bonnie tried to calm herself down by imagining she was in a Cheerleader Championship.
Lady by lady started to say their names. The Miss Mystic Carnival Contest was easy and quick, you just needed to say your name some shit about yourself and try to look cute while you answer a random question, so people would cheer harder for you and that way you'd win.
When it was her turn Bonnie tried to sound calm.
"Hello beautiful can you tell us what's your name"
"Uh... Sure, My name is Bonnie Bennett" Bonnie was still nervous when she suddenly saw her Grams and Liz between the Crowd.
"You go girl!" Grams shouted and Bonnie felt her heart get warm by it, Bonnie tried to relax one more time.
"So, what do You like to do, Bonnie?" The host asked and Bonnie bit her lower lip.
"Well, I'm a Cheerleader and I love to cheer" she laughed at herself she sounded so dumb "and uh.. I love ..."
Suddenly Bonnie felt how everything stopped around her, he was there he was right in front of her, not at the first row but in the middle, he smirked at her and the fact that he was there it made her feel more comfortable.
"Yeah what do you love Bonnie?" The host asked and she smiled.
'him' she thought while she couldn't keep her eyes away from Damon, she was taking her time so Damon waved her hand in a 'keep talking way' and she blinked rapidly, trying to focus.
"I love reading, and hanging out with my friends, I like to be there for the ones who need me and above all, I love my Grams, she's the best" Bonnie pointed at where Sheila was standing and everyone said "awww"
"so Bonnie your question is, "how would the perfect date be for you?"
Bonnie bit her lower lip she had never had a date.
All her friends looked at each other they knew Bonnie was against dating, she always had left it clear so it was a major surprise when they heard her answer.
"Uh... I think there is no perfect date" people frowned and Bonnie tried to explain herself "I mean it's up to each one of us, in my opinion it would be with the person you love, that one person who makes you feel happy and warms your heart. Where? It can be anywhere on a beach, at a restaurant or maybe... Just having their way out of town to look at the stars" when she said that she looked directly at Damon and his smirk faded and turned into a surprised face. " The perfect date is the one you share with the person you love"
people started to clap and cheer for her to win, her answer had been so sweet and fresh that everybody fell for her cuteness.
Bonnie quickly Blushed, thank god it was hard for people to noticed when She was blushing.
"Okay Bonnie looks like you are our winner"
"What?! Really?" She said
"What a sweetheart, Bonnie Bennett, you are our Miss Mystic Carnival of this year, I bet your boyfriend is a lucky guy"
"Uhh... I don't have one, I'm single"
"Such a smart girl, right here" the host said and people cheered for the new Miss Mystic Carnival, was such a surreal moment for Bonnie.
Bonnie was crowned with a beautiful crown of flowers and the host handed her a beautiful bouquet of roses, Bonnie waved her hand at the crowd who still clapped for her she was having the time of her life up there.
Once she left the scenario she walked where her friends where waiting for her, all of them congratulated her the minute they saw her.
"You made it!" Caroline said hugging her best friend.
Then Tyler hugged her and Stefan "you were the best by far" Tyler teased.
"Oh, shut up, I was so nervous"
"I knew you'd win" Kai said and lifted her a little in his embrace.
"You owe me big time Mr. parker" Bonnie teased.
"You have a crown thanks to me, you owe me" he winked at her and Bonnie was just too happy to argue
Stefan noticed something about Bonnie's answer, she seemed to see love in a different way lately.
"Guys what about going to the horror house now?" Caroline proposed and everyone agreed, Stefan just decided to enjoy his night later he would try to talk with Bonnie about it.
"Guys, can you get going, I want to talk with Grams"
The gang nodded and they headed to the horror House.
Bonnie walked to meet Grams but the way to her felt surreal people congratulated her and clapped every now and then, she was the Miss Mystic Carnival after all, when her Grams finally saw her she felt really proud of her.
"Young lady, you were too cute out there, I love you" she said and hugged her Granddaughter, Liz Congratulated her too.
Bonnie thanked both of them and Grams told her they would celebrate at home she wanted her now to go with her friends and have fun, Bonnie smiled and nodded.
As she was walking to the Horror house, she was looking for Damon but it seemed like he had vanished, Did she just imagine him? She sighed, he seemed to be nowhere.
"Hey Miss Mystic Carnival"
She heard someone call her from behind and she turned around
"How does it feel to be the Miss Mystic Carnival huh?"
"Nice, I guess, hey Jeremy"
Jeremy hadn't talked to her since she rejected him, the fact he was talking to her it was weird but when he got close enough to smell him she discovered he had been drinking beer.
"Well, you are really pretty so you deserve it, but you are mean, ya know"
"Jer, you are drunk, go back to Jenna"
"I might be drunk but is true, you are mean, I loved you, I wanted you and you rejected me"
Bonnie rolled her eyes, was this for real?.
"Jer.."
"No, you are a bitch!"
Bonnie wasn't here for it, so she decided to turn around and keep walking away from him. Obviously Jeremy wasn't letting that happen so he grabbed her by the arm but when he tried to turn her around Damon stopped him.
"Go away and I wont break your wrist" Damon broke Jeremy's grip.
Jeremy might be drunk but he wasn't stupid he took a step back, but still had some last thing to say.
"I see, you like your man old" Jeremy said to Bonnie who was holding her arm in the spot he had grabbed her.
"You ain't even a man, asshole" Damon said but Jeremy was already gone, he quickly turned to check on Bonnie
"You okay?"
"Yeah, he's such a douchebag, I swear"
Damon, checked on her arm the one Jeremy had grabbed to turn her around and stop her from leaving.
Bonnie quickly blushed, she was glad Damon was there and had been there for her but now she was nervous about what she had said in front of everyone, would he had noticed she considered their little night as a perfect date?.
"Why are you alone?"
"The gang decided to go to the horror house and I was going"
He simply nooded "Congrats Miss Mystic Carnival" he said and she smiled.
"I can't believe people actually voted for me" she said biting her lower lip.
He smiled, and this silent wasn't awkward, not for them.
Damon, was proud of Bonnie, she was looking so beautiful with her crown of flowers and her Bouquet of roses, she was the definition of beauty.
"I guess I should let you go"
Bonnie sighed apparently he didn't noticed the big indirect she had said in front of everyone, the why was she feeling disappointed when she should be relieved?
"You should come, come on, don't leave"
"Nah, seriously, it's okay, go with ya friends"
A bip sounded and she read a text from Caroline.
'Bon we are next in the line, where are you?'
Bonnie had two options, go with her friends who were waiting for her or stay and have some quality time with Damon.
'sorry, Grams wants me to go home, see ya Tomorrow?' Bonnie sent the same text to Care and Kai, she had decided to stay with Damon.
Then Bonnie looked up at Damon.
"You sure you don't wanna stay? What about going to the mirror house?"
"Bonnie, I should go home"
"Then Can I tag along?"
Damon didn't know what to say, he had many things in mind, her little indirect hadn't been unnoticed, when she said it he realized she was starting to have feelings for him, he knew this would be even harder now, this time wouldn't be just him fighting his feelings but now he knew he had a chance with her, he wanted to tell her the truth. To tell her to come with him and to stay forever, But how? He couldn't and he probably shouldn't.
Bonnie understood after his long pause and she nodded.
"I see, look it's okay, go home, Damon"
Damon was so distracted with his own thoughts he didn't realize what had just happened he quickly ran to her
"Bonnie"
She rolled her eyes "what?"
"You can't go home alone, let me go with you"
"No, you have to go home right? Then go! I can do just fine by myself"
Bonnie was hard-headed and this time wouldn't be different, she kept walking her way home.
When Kai, read Bonnie's text he felt disappointed, he'd love to have a chance to spend more time with her but he understood if Her Grams needed her or wanted her home it was understandable.
The horror house had been really fun. Thing is you always get inside in groups of five so even if Bonnie had been able to get there they wouldn't have been able to get in as a group since they were six and one would be needed to wait out side, but as Bonnie never appeared the group was complete and entered the horror house.
Caroline had been screaming at every corner, she literally was holding her pink pony so tight that Tyler felt the need to calm her down, he held her hand all the way out and Caroline even when she was still nervous she felt butterflies in her stomach and nothing is better to fight scare than the feeling of the guy you like holding your hand.
Daniella walked with Stefan and Kai, Ella seemed like those girls who are hard to scare and it was fascinating for Stefan, he was actually finding how interesting this chic was, it was a shame she wouldn't stay in Mystic Falls after this Carnival, the good part was that the Carnival lasted three days so he still had time to spend with her.
Bonnie kept walking but she wasn't alone Damon was following her from a good distance, even when he was doing this to be sure Bonnie would get home safe and it was a nice gesture, Bonnie felt angered, she felt rejected in a way and now she was wondering what the hell Damon wanted from her. Sometimes men could be the hard ones to understand.
"Why are you still following me?" Bonnie asked but she didn't turn around
"Because I want to be sure you get home well"
His sweet intention just made it worse, why was he like this? Bonnie thought, it was hard to hate him if he was this sweet.
"You know, I don't need you to be my bodyguard" she said still walking straight.
"Oh yeah, you would have controlled Jeremy very well"
Then is when she turned around.
"Thank you, Damon Salvatore, thank you, oh god! You are my hero" she said in a sarcastic tone and with her hands in the air "I'm such a damsel in distress"
He just walked towards her and when she didn't move he smirked, she was such a brave little thing and he loved that. She was right, she wasn't a damsel in distress, she was a fighter, a strong woman.
"We are back to hating each other? You've been avoiding me and now you don't even want me to keep you safe?" He asked as he held her face so she would look at him, his hold was tender and Bonnie had her feelings all around the place. "Tell me, what is it? Do you hate me?"
It was so hard to look into his eyes and not to fall for him, Bonnie wanted to be mad, wanted to be angry, even hate him but she couldn't, she wasn't able, they were way pass through it, they loved each other and cared way too much, maybe more than each one let the other know.
"No, I don't hate you and I haven't being avoiding you, well maybe but I don't hate you, okay?"
He smiled big, that kind of smile just Bonnie could bring out of him
"Good, because I wouldn't be able to live if my Doll hates me"
Bonnie frowned looking up at him, confused by the nickname he had just called her.
"You called me your Doll, lately I was just Bonnie"
He couldn't help but laugh, so now Bonnie had admitted she liked it when he called her a Doll.
"Oh so you like when I call you my doll, huh? Bonnie, you've been always my Doll, and forever will" he said caressing her cheek with his thumb.
Bonnie blushed and looked down, he was making her feel like a teenager with her very first love. But that was exactly what she was, a teenager experimenting her first love.
"Now, what if I take you home?" he asked her.
She sighed and nodded.
"That's my doll" he said and put his arm around her shoulder, Bonnie looked up at him. "Does it bother you?"
She shook her head and he smiled. All the way home they talked about how sweet she was on the scenario and how much she deserved to be Miss Mystic Carnival.
He didn't move his arm from around her shoulders till they made it to her house.
Once they were at her porch Bonnie looked at him "you said you were leaving but I saw you while I was on stage... What made you stay?"
He chuckled "believed or not, your beloved Grams"
Bonnie frowned " my Grams?"
He nodded "she told me some stuff today and I owe her, she made me stay and I'm glad I did, if Jeremy had ..."
Bonnie hugged him "it's okay, thank you" she said looking up at him "I mean it, thanks to you I'm fine"
And one more time Bonnie and Damon were at her porch but this time Grams wasn't there to interrupt and they weren't discussing, they were looking into each other eyes as they keep hugging.
"What about we go to the Carnival tomorrow?"
"Really?" She said smiling and feeling butterflies in her stomach
"A bird told me you loved the Carnival"
"Grams, right?"
He nodded and kissed her forehead.
"So whatcha say Doll? Would you be my date?" He asked and Bonnie lips parted
"Your Date?" She asked confused
"I mean, just the both of us, no Kai, nor gang at least till I won that stuffed animal for you"
She giggled happily and nodded "okay"
"Okay"
She suddenly shut her eyes
"What are we? The fault in our Stars?"
He laughed hard "who knows?"
Bonnie blushed and rested her head on his chest.
Damon didn't want this moment to end, he wanted to hug her forever, Damon couldn't deny it anymore, he needed to be a man and face it, he had fallen in love with Bonnie, his best friend, his doll and he was terrified because if he gets brave enough to ask her out, he doesn't want to messed up this relationship, Bonnie is so much more than just a girl, she is special.
"Don't you want to come in?"
She suddenly asked and Damon bit his lower lip, of course he wanted, but he wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do.
"You're sure? What if Grams appears?"
She sighed he was right
"You're right" she said looking down
"Okay maybe just a couple of minutes" he said and both of them smiled.
Bonnie opened the front door and get inside, Damon followed her.
Damon had been once before but Grams was there and even Jeremy, this time they were all alone.
"Wanna go to my room? I mean ..."
He smirked
"Woah, Doll, calm down"
"Shut up!" She said grinning and he Decided to follow her up stairs.
Damon smiled when he saw her room for the first time, her room was smaller than his, but then again she was smaller that him, probably didn't need much space, her room was filled with books, she really liked to read, he tried to read some tittles, while she was putting her Bouquet in vase, more of the books where about science fiction and just one about love, Romeo and Juliet a classic.
"Romeo and Juliet?" He asked
"Oh yeah, Stefan's Christmas gift, he was my secret Santa" she said walking to him.
"Was my brother trying to flirt with you?" He asked a little uncomfortable, it would be really awkward if they had fallen for the same girl.
"Oh, no! He just wanted to introduce me to the romance, that's it" she said laughing.
He smiled.
"My brother is unique, I mean it was a good plan, but for a girl who didn't want to fall in love the right way to show her romance it was by making her experiencing it" he said walking toward her "have you experienced it yet?"
"Uh. ... I..."
"With Kai? Maybe?" He teased her.
"No, damn it Damon he's just a friend"
Damon smiled that was exactly what he wanted to hear, it was music for his ears.
"What about you? Will I ever be able to read one of your original love stories books?" She asked and he looked at her really surprised.
"Would you really read one of my stories?" He asked her getting closer to her personal space.
"Sure, Damon I'd probably be your fan number one" she said and he melt, he felt so good, if she could knew how much those words meant to someone who's biggest dream was to become a writer.
"Soon, I promise you'll be the first who gets to read my first book" he said smirking and Bonnie felt the need to take a step back.
"You ... You promise?" She was starting to feel nervous.
He nodded walking closer to her "I promise"
Bonnie was now between Damon and the wall, he was looking down at her and Bonnie couldn't believe how they had ended up in this position, Bonnie felt like this was way too much for her but when she noticed he was looking at her lips Bonnie's heart started to go faster and faster. Suddenly Damon and Bonnie heard the front door getting open apparently they weren't alone anymore. Grams had arrived.
"Oh my god" Bonnie freak out "you need to go" she said pushing him off of her.
He saw how Bonnie went to close the door and lock it, she seemed really nervous about this situation and he could understand, Bonnie have never had a man in her room before.
"What do I do?" Damon asked
Bonnie couldn't believe she was actually in this position, where she was hiding a man in her bathroom from Grams.
Grams quickly went to Bon's room and knocked at her door "Darling why is your door locked"
"Oh, I'm changing" Bonnie started to take her shirt off and was about to take her pants off when she noticed a way too comfortable Damon, who was looking with a shameless smirk on his face from the bathroom's frame door
"Get inside! And close the door!" She whispered as she pushed him inside and closed the door, Damon couldn't deny it any more, he loved her and he loved what he saw.
Bonnie quickly put a long T-SHIRT and took her pants off then she opened the door.
"Grams?"
"Baby Girl I just wanted to know how the Miss Mystic Carnival was?"
Bonnie smiled but quickly tensed when Sheila got inside her room.
"Oh, I'm fine just a little tired, I still can't believe, I won"
"Well you deserved it my darling, Did you see, Damon? He earlier asked about you, Did he stay for your crowning?"
"Did he?" Bonnie had no idea he had asked for her, but since he had talked with Grams, it made sense. "And yeah he stayed" she said feeling a little awkward since he were mere feet from there.
"I think he has feelings for you Bonnie, is the way he talks about you...plus he mentioned a new Friend? Kai? I think he seemed jealous" Grams said with a serious tone in her voice.
"What? No, come on, Grams he is just my friend not sure I want to discuss this right now, I'm kinda tired, maybe tomorrow and we can celebrate I'm Miss Mystic Carnival whatcha say?" Bonnie interrupted
Grams noticed how Bonnie changed the subject but she understood, probably her granddaughter was tired due to her long day. she nodded and kissed her granddaughters forehead.
"Sure, nice dreams" and with that Grams left, Bonnie closed the door and locked it, she waited till Damon walked out of the bathroom.
"So... Her Grams knows I have feelings for her" Damon said to himself before opening the door. once he looked at her he noticed she was still wearing her crown of flowers with a long T-shirt that inly covered till her tights, he smirked once again "what you wearing under that?" He wiggled his brows.
What an awkward moment Bonnie thought.
"Damon maybe you should go, I mean she's here and she could hear us"
He rolled his eyes "and what's your plan? I jump from your window? Or maybe walk to the front door? Accept it Bonnie, you are stuck with me tonight"
Damon started to walk to the bed and Bonnie went to turn the lights off, defeated, he was right, they were about to share her bed.
Damon was looking at her bed when he noticed a Teddy bear.
"Who's this?"
"Ms. Cuddles" she said and he chuckled, what a name.
"Cuddles, maybe we can cuddle with cuddles?" He joked and she was really having a hard time, she didn't know if she was tired of his jokes or wishing those weren't jokes. Being attracted to someone was exhausting, Bonnie thought. "So Doll, which side?"
She just shrugged and he decided to go for the right, he started to took his leather jacket off and his shirt was next.
Bonnie couldn't believe this was happening, they had slept together before, but the fact he was in her room it made it feel so, real. Did he feel the same way those times she stayed the night in his house?.
"Well I guess I'll sleep with my jeans on" he said a little uncomfortable, he didn't want to push Bonnie.
"Uh.. no it's okay, if you rather you can take your pants off" Bonnie said as she took her Crown of flowers off of her.
"Doll, Do You really want me just in my boxer while I'm sleeping by your side and maybe even cuddling?" He said to annoy her, but he really wanted to cuddle.
"Damon we aren't cuddling, okay?" she said a little frustrated, her mind was betraying her and yeah, she'd love to do all what he said.
"I'll sleep with my pants on" he said determined.
Bonnie was already in her bed when he climbed in, once the both of them were under her shits he noticed the difference between his size king bed, in this one they were closer and he didn't mind a little bit.
They tried to get comfortable on the bed once they did they turned to the side so they could look at each other.
"Maybe I can win a friend for Ms. Cuddles tomorrow at the Carnival, after all I wanted to gift you one" he said and she nodded.
"It'll be nice, cuddles deserves a friend"
She joked and he smiled.
"So, tomorrow, you and me at the Carnival, no Kai, nor gang? You okay with it?"
"Sounds good" she tried to play it simple but deep down she was melting with every world he was saying, actually every minute it felt surreal.
"Good" he said and closed his eyes apparently he was ready to fall asleep.
"Damon, are you going to sleep already?" She whined.
"Why? Wanna play?" He wiggled his brows and she rolled her eyes.
"Good night Damon, sweet dreams" she pretended to be annoyed and turned her back to him.
He smirked when she gave her her back, he had now a great opportunity to annoy her even more. he got closer till he could whisper into her ear "Goodnight my Doll, you have a sexy back"
Bonnie opened her eyes wide open and turned to look at him, as she imagined him he was smirking ready for her reply , but now he was way closer.
"Good night Damon!" She said and turned around one more time.
He smiled once she couldn't see him, then gave her her space and left her sleep, Damon was more than happy to be trapped in her room with her, it was such a fun night and with this in his mind he soon fell asleep this day had been a long one, but it ended how it was supposed to, with them together.
Damon's feelings for Bonnie were clear now, he loved her and he would face it, he wouldn't hesitate not anymore, he was scare to lose her but something deep down was telling him she had the same feelings for him. So he was getting ready to tell her. she deserved to know. She will know.
So Bon Won Miss Carnival, some of you already saw it coming lol. Stefan is realizing something different in Bon's attitude about Love. Damon stayed and helped Bon with Jeremy, yup Jeremy was back. Bon and Damon weren't sure if they should talk about their feelings yet it's getting obvious that both of them feel something for each other. And they spent the night together at Bonnie's for the first time. Tyler and Caroline are close to becoming something more. And yes, Kai is interested in Bon but Damon is closer to Bon's heart would Damon be brave enough to tell Bonnie about his feelings for her?.
