Chapter 5
After showering and changing, Bonnie happily descended the stairs followed closely by Caroline. Damon choked on a gasp at the sight of her. The rise of her indigo jeans was sinfully low and clung tightly to her body while the white backless shirt she wore fell just above her navel allowing a glimpse of her bare hipbone. The fact that the shirt was backless made it painfully obvious that she was braless. And the thin cotton material left very little to the imagination. He suddenly got the strongest urge to run his thumb across her nipple. And run his fingers thru her hair. It was still slightly damp from her shower, and her natural curls hung just above her shoulders. She was breathtaking.
"Smooth." Enzo joked. "You might want to wipe the drool from your lips before your girlfriend notices.
"Shut up Enzo." Damon said defensively, but still quickly swiped his arm over his mouth just in case drool was actually there.
Like no one else was in the room, Bonnie drifted toward Damon smiling brightly. She linked her arm around his, and pulled him to the sofa.
"Sit with me Damiano. We have much to discuss."
Elena rolled her eyes, irritated by Bonnie's close proximity to Damon. "Like what?" She asked.
Bonnie briefly looked in Elena's direction, one perfectly waxed brow lifting before turning her attention back to Damon. "How about we start with you telling me who all these people are to me?"
Caroline cleared her throat. "Thar's a lovely place to start, but perhaps we could do it in the dining room over dinner?"
Everyone agreed, and quickly gathered around the massive table in the Salvatore dining room. Damon took the seat at the head of the table. Bonnie sat to his immediate right, while Elena slid in the seat directly across from her. The room was momentarily silent while everyone served up their plates. Damon was the first to speak.
"Where should I start the re-introductions?" Damon said smiling devilishly at everyone sitting around the table. "This beautiful woman here is the love of my life." Damon said kissing Elena's hand. "The two of you are like sister." Damon continued.
Caroline studied Bonnie's face to judge her reaction, she gave none. Elena did though. She leaned in to Damon to kiss him passionately, moaning several times before pulling away. She dramatically wiped her mouth with her fingertips while maintaining eye contact with Bonnie, making it clear that she was throwing down the metaphorical gauntlet. She was shamelessly claiming her man. Damon knew it. Bonnie knew it. Hell, everyone at the table knew. Only Bonnie didn't care. Elena's little public display of affection was almost comical to her. She couldn't help the smirk that graced her face. Damon was hers, and nothing Elena did was going to change that.
"Seriously Elena?" Jeremy asked. Her obvious insecurity issues were getting on his nerves.
"Half pint over there is Elena's little brother Jeremy. You and he had a thing for a while before you came to your senses and realized that he was beneath you." Damon joked.
"Says the vampire who was dumped by Kathrine, so he went after the girl with her face." Jeremy retorted.
"Ouch." Enzo chimed in chuckling.
Unfazed at all Damon continued. "The handsome pale fellow is Enzo. You and he were sometimes civil."
Enzo winked at her, and Bonnie seductively winked back causing Enzo to groan under his breath. This didn't go unnoticed by Damon.
Suddenly irritated he carried on."The wolf over there is Tyler. And next to him is Alaric."
Tyler and Alaric both nodded causing Bonnie to smile brightly.
"The human is Matt. He is like a brother to you."
Matt saluted her, and Bonnie chuckled.
"The considerably less good looking version of me, but still slightly handsome broody guy at the end of the table is my brother Stefan. You and he are close."
Bonnie flared her nostrils.
"Not that close." Damon said knowing what she was thinking. "More like brother sister close. You would never date Stefan. Stefan is not your type. Besides, his taste in women sucks which is why he's dating Blondie… who you already caught up with."
Caroline laughed bitterly. "You do realize that the so called love of your life was madly in love with him first." Several people laughed at his obvious oversight.
Bonnie's only reaction to this revelation was a slight furrowed brow. Elena quickly stroked Damon's arm soothingly, and pecked him on the lips.
"I chose you." She reassured him.
Damon gave her a halfcocked smile before turning to Bonnie. "That about sums it up."
"And you Damiano, What am I to you?"
"Yeah Fabio… enlighten us. What is she to you?" Enzo chimed in not being able to resist putting Damon on the spot.
Damon, unnerved, looked Bonnie directly in her eyes and his smile brightened.
"My rock."
He chuckled lightly. "We may have had a rough start…"
"That's an understatement." Jeremy huffed tired of seeing Damon drool over Bonnie. "She hated you and let's not pretend your feelings for her were warm and fuzzy."
Bonnie furrowed her brows in confusion. She couldn't imagine ever hating Damon or he her. Damon rolled his eyes before taking Bonnie's hand in his.
"I could never hate you Cara. I was just keeping you on your toes."
Bonnie squeezed his hand while smiling brightly at him.
"Nor I you." She said softly.
They stared into each other's eyes for several seconds before Elena cleared her throat. Bonnie looked up toward where the offending noise was coming from. Something about Elena irritated her. She was no true friend of hers. Any fool could see that. Bonnie just couldn't understand why no one else seemed to notice.
"Is there a problem Elsa?" Bonnie asked.
Caroline giggled, and Stefan nearly choked on his food trying to stifle a laugh.
Elena rolled her eyes. "I don't have a problem Bonnie, do you have a problem?"
"Okay… now that we're all done eating, let's move this party to the living room." Caroline quickly suggested trying to alleviate some of the tension in the room.
As the gang made their way into the living room, Damon's phone sounded in his front pocket. Looking at the screen he noticed the call was coming from a private number. Hunching a shoulder he answered.
"This better be good."
"Damon… cocky as always." The familiar voice of Klaus sounded thru the phone.
Damon quickly put him on loud speaker. Klaus continued to taunt him.
"How's the fair Elena? Enjoying your reunion I hope. You're welcome by the way."
"You sick son-of-a-bit-" Damon began before Klaus cut him off.
"Mother was a bitch, never really could bond with her. But you know who I did bond with… Got to know her quite well actually… But of course you already know that seeing as how you stood outside the door while I fucked her senseless before snapping her pretty little neck."
Damon was seething. You could practically see the stem rising from his skull.
"Shut up Klaus. You don't get to-"
Klaus cut him off again. "I always had a soft spot for witches you know, especially Bennett witches…It was really hard letting her go after I claimed her. Hot piece of ass that one… the best I ever had actually… but of course you know that too don't you Damon? Did you tell Elena about 1994?" click
Damon threw his phone across the room instantly shattering it.
"What is he talking-" Elena began to ask, but Damon quickly put his hand up stopping her mid-sentence.
"No Damon, I think she deserves to know." Jeremy says. "I think we'd all like to know."
"It's known of your damn business." Damon yelled. It's no body's business." He added quietly while holding Bonnie's confused gaze.
"Damon." Stefan chimed in.
"I'm done talking about this." He said with finality.
"Well I'm not!" Elena was seething. She moved until she was standing practically nose to nose with Damon.
"Klaus was implying that you know Bonnie a little more personally than either of you ever let on."
"Not now Elena." Damon said thru gritted teeth.
"Is it true? Did you fuck her?"
Caroline gasped at Elena's crassness. Jeremy was getting angrier by the second. In his mind he and Bonnie were still together while she was stuck with Damon in the prison world. If she betrayed him like that, and with Damon, he would lose his mind. Just the thought of the two of them together in a biblical since while she was still with him made him want to stake Damon. He waited eagerly for answers. Matt had a look of disgust on his face. He always thought of Bonnie like a little sister, and the thought of her being with both Damon and Klaus did something to his stomach. He guessed good girls really did always go after the bad boy. Caroline was actually not surprised. She was well aware of the sexual tension between Damon and Bonnie all those years. It was only a matter of time. Still she was shocked that Bonnie managed to keep it a secret. She never even hinted at being intimate with Damon. Enzo and Alaric were happily watching Damon squirm. Stefan wasn't too shocked either. He knew his brother well enough to know that he always had a thing for Bonnie, but he was a little surprised that Damon would betray Elena that way. He never thought he'd see the day that Damon cheated on Elena. He worked so hard to get her. Why would he throw it all away for a roll around the hay with her best friend? Unless… unless his feelings for Bonnie were much deeper than he ever let on. Stefan suddenly realized, but why would Bonnie? Bonnie would never… She's in love with him too. Stefan thought.
"Elena." Damon whispered gripping the bridge of his nose.
"Answer me Damon." Elena was yelling angrily, and she was real close to his face. "Tell me you didn't screw my best fucking friend." Tears were rolling down her cheeks, but she was still screaming. Everyone else was on the edge of their seats waiting for an answer. "I deserve the truth Damon. Tell me the truth. Did you fuck her?"
"NO!" Damon screamed inches from his girlfriend's face. "I made love to her."
Damon's hands instinctively flew over his mouth. He hadn't meant to say that, but what he and Bonnie shared was far from fucking. They shared a glorious night together, and it being reduced to fucking was getting on his nerves. Still, he didn't mean to blurt it out like that. He and Bonnie agreed it was a moment of weakness that it would never happen again. They also agreed to take it to their graves.
He held Elena's gaze with wide eyes as he thought about how Klaus knew. Did Bonnie tell him during their night together? He quickly abandoned that idea realizing that Bonnie would have never… A slight sting to his face brought him out of his musings. Elena had slapped him.
"You selfish son-of-bitch, how could you?"
Damon held her by her wrist. "It was one night. I swear it only happened once."
"Is that supposed to make it all better?" Jeremy cut in. "You took advantage of her. Bonnie would never-"
"Never what? Damon cut him off. He let go of Elena's hands, and moved until he was standing toe-to-toe with Jeremy. "You don't know shit about Bonnie. Don't get mad because you weren't man enough for her."
With that Elena stormed out of the house just as Jeremy was throwing a punch at Damon. Damon was faster though. He caught Jeremy's hand mid-blow. He squeezed nearly shattering Jeremy's fist causing Stefan to break them apart.
"Calm down Damon. Instead of fighting with Jeremy, you should be going after your girlfriend."
"Don't bother." Jeremy huffed. "I'll go after her."
He stormed off after Elena, slamming the door on his way out.
Caroline threw her hands up in the air. "Leave it up to Elena to go running off into the night while a deranged hybrid is after her." She looked at Stefan. "We should go after her too."
Stefan agreed leaving Matt, Enzo, and Alaric feeling awkward about being left alone with Damon and Bonnie so one by one the three excused themselves. As the last one made his way out the door, Damon collapsed on the sofa next to Bonnie.
"That went well." He joked.
Bonnie smiled at his obvious attempt to hide his frustration. She took his hand in hers.
"Mi scuso."
Damon pursed his lips. "You have nothing to apologize for. You did nothing wrong." He gave her hand a gentle squeeze. "Elena will be fine. She'll get over it."
"She will forgive you?" Bonnie asked as Damon made his way over to the bar.
He poured himself a drink, took a swig, and lightly chuckled. "She always does."
Bonnie smirked seductively causing his nether region to react. She stood to walk toward him, and he could've sworn she had an extra swing in her hips. She was temptation on legs. He shamelessly ogled her during her small trek across the room. She stopped just before him, teetering on invading his personal space. She licked her lips slowly, voice dripping seduction.
"Did you enjoy it?"
Once he realized what she was talking about, he nervously gulped down the knot in his throat. "More than anything."
Bonnie smiled. Lightly stroking his upper arm, she stood on her toes to whisper in his ear. "Show me."
