A request from madeunmexico for the sequel to Kai asking Bonnie on a date.
Bonnie snatched her popcorn back from Kai.
"Hey!"
When he tried to take it back she slapped his hand away.
"You have your own snacks," she hissed.
The only reason she didn't set him on fire was because they were in public. And she had agreed to one date to get him off her case. She had noticed Kai's obsession with her. She would have had to blind to miss it and she figured the best way to get him to leave her alone was to give him what he wanted. Except she had planned to be the world's worst date.
But since she couldn't be too obvious about it or he would catch on, she had let him pick the movie. And even let him take her out to dinner beforehand. During which time, she had sulked and complained. She had even talked at length about ex-boyfriends, even made up a couple.
Unfortunately, Kai had taken it all with good grace. He'd laughed it off saying she hadn't seen anything yet.
"Yeah, but I offered to share my pork rinds," Kai said waving the box at her.
"Well I think those are disgusting and I don't want to share my popcorn with you."
Kai rolled his eyes. "Are you going to be in a bad mood for the whole date?"
"I'm not in a bad mood. This is just what I'm like as a date."
"Liar," Kai snorted.
"just shut up. Your stupid horror movie is going to start any minute."
The movie trailers had started so hopefully the movie would start.
Kai winked at her and slung his arm around her shoulder. She punched his chest and he withdrew his arm.
"Wait until we get to the scary parts then you'll be begging me to snuggle you."
"That will never happen."
Kai rolled his eyes and went back to munching on his pork rinds. And he was not one for chewing quietly, Bonnie discovered. She clenched her jaw and took several deep breaths to keep from punching him.
The movie started just before she lost control and hit him in the face. That was a lucky break for Kai. And even Bonnie had to admit, Kai had a lot of them. Otherwise, he would have been dead years ago.
It was pretty good for a horror movie. But it wasn't scary or maybe that was just her and Kai. The rest of the audience spent a lot of time jumping and screaming. There were some fourteen year old girls in the back row, who hadn't stopped screaming since the first jump scare.
"Do you think people would mind if I told them to shut up?" Kai whispered.
He glanced behind him and she saw he meant those same girls.
"I know I wouldn't," she muttered.
Kai snickered and slung his arm around her shoulder. This time she let him, but gave him an annoyed look, one he ignored.
"So correct me, if I'm wrong, Bonster, but you don't seem even the tinsiest bit scared of this movie?"
"I'm not so your plan to scare me into your arms has failed miserably."
Kai chuckled. He ran his nose along the shell of her ear. She repressed a shiver, but she closed her eyes. Something that didn't escape Kai's sharp eyes. He pressed his nose closer.
"How come you aren't scared? Not that I'm complaining, but in my experience, horror movies usually do the trick."
"You've seen enough of my life that by now you should know, I don't scare easy."
"I'll say."
"And stop touching me."
"Why?"
"Why?" she hissed again. "Because I'm scared you'll siphon me first chance you get."
With that, Kai held his hands up and made a show of retreating to his space.
"For the record, I wouldn't."
"You've done it before."
"I've changed."
"I don't believe you."
"Guess I'll just have to convince you I have."
But it was said without his usual arrogance and certainty. Since the merge she had seen glimpses of this new Kai and she had no idea whether or not she bought it. But even Damon seemed to think he had feelings now. Not that she considered Damon an expert on feelings.
After the movie, Bonnie wasn't about to get into Kai's car.
"Why did you drive yourself on a date?" Kai said looking at her in complete exasperation. "First you won't let me pick you up and now I can't even drive you home?"
"Because you have tried to kill me!"
"You tried to kill me first!"
Bonnie growled. He had a point there, but in her defense, he had been 100 % evil back then. Now he was maybe more like 80 % evil.
"And besides, I need my car so no, you can't drive me home."
"Oh, Bonnie, sometimes I wonder if you actually are a witch," he clucked his tongue with disapproval. "I can just magic your car home to you."
"So not happening. Thanks for the date, see you around."
With that, Bonnie unlocked her car. She got in and sped past a laughing Kai.
Unfortunately for her, when she got home to the Salvatore boarding house, Kai was waiting for her in the driveway. She walked past him when she got out of the car. Kai being Kai followed her. He dogged every step.
"Where are you going, Bonster?"
"Home. What are you doing here?"
"What kind of date would I be if I didn't walk you to your door?"
"The kind I can escape from?"
"Come on, Bon. Why did you even agree to this date if you weren't at least a little willing to give me a second chance?"
Bonnie sighed and turned to look at him. She couldn't tell Kai that she was attracted to him. So she decided to tell him the second reason.
"Because I knew you wouldn't give up and I just wanted you to go away."
Kai stared at her. His jaw was working tensely and if it had been anyone other than him, she would say she had hurt his feelings. He ran his hand through his hair.
"So this chemistry thing – it's one sided? You don't feel a spark?"
Bonnie thought back to when they had first met. She had used her magic to find the ascendant and touched his chest. Then he had put his hand over hers. His touch had been warm and with her magic coursing through her, the sensation had been intensified. It had taken every ounce of her will power to do what she did next. Then she thought of all those other moments when he flirted. How sometimes, she did feel a spark. Just as she had done when he asked her out at The Grill.
But that was not something she could tell him. And she couldn't lie because he would probably see right through that. So she did the only thing she could and walked away from him.
Kai caught up to her and stood in front of her.
"Why won't you answer me?"
Bonnie stared at him, starting to feel desperate. If he didn't back off soon, she was going to do something stupid like blurt the truth out because when it came to Kai – well she always had a short fuse.
"Because! Because you are making me crazy! Like you always do!" she exclaimed and waved her hands at him.
Kai flashed a wicked smile that could only mean trouble. Next thing she knew, he had his hand around her wrist. Her first instinct was to panic and she froze. If he siphoned her – but instead, he pulled her close. Her chest was flush against his and he kissed her. It was scorching and she gasped.
He tried to deepen the kiss and she slapped him.
"Ow! What the hell?" Kai grumbled rubbing his cheek.
"Don't you ever do that again!"
Kai gave her a heated look and something inside of her snapped. She grabbed his shoulders, and kissed him. It was rough and punishing. She felt his surprise and when he kissed her back. It was electrifying and every inch of her was on fire. She pulled back gasping for breath.
"So I'll pick you up tomorrow night at say seven?" Kai asked with a self-satisfied smirk that made her want to slap him again or maybe kiss him.
"Fine, and don't be late," she warned.
With that, she went inside. Grinning from ear to ear like the fool she obviously was. This could only end badly, but boy was she going to enjoy the ride.
