Bonnie really just wanted to explore and see Milan but after that thirteen-hour flight, she is tired. Though she was in first class, she just wanted out of that plane. A driver met her at baggage claim and took her straight to the hotel which she had no complaints about. During the ride there, she just wanted to hop out and walk around in the streets, but once she hit that bed, she felt like she was in heaven. She sunk in those sheets and closed her eyes.

...

Bonnie sat up and checked the time and cursed seeing that she slept later than she wanted to and is now running behind. She thanks God for her clear and even skin, micro bladed eyebrows, and eyelash extensions. It won't take long for her to throw on some eyeshadow and swipe on a red lip. She decides to do that first because it'll take an even shorter time to slip on the dress.

Bonnie takes her time with the makeup simply because it will be her first red carpet and her first time meeting Stefan so she didn't want to make a horrible first impression. Once that was perfect, she went to retrieve her dress. For some reason, she was having a difficult time with the zipper and was very confused because when she tried it on at her place, it was so easy. She thought that maybe it was because of her excitement that stretched her arm to grab the thing but now she's hopping around like an idiot.

"Ah-hem," a voice cleared causing her to stop in her tracks.

She turned and grew flustered. "Stefan, I didn't hear you come in."

"Sorry, we'd thought you'd be… decent."

It's now that she notices that his assistant (possibly) is avoiding looking at her and it's then that she starts to feel a drift. She then notices that her left breast had fallen out of its cup. She quickly gets the girls situated.

"Well, that's more of me than I expected you to see so quickly." She decides to joke because laughter's the best policy, right?

Stefan just raised an eyebrow in the air and it's then that she notices how fucking hot he is. Maybe this was a mistake.

"You need help?"

"Please," she turns and moves her hair out of the way.

Stefan stares at her back before walking up to her. Bonnie jumps slightly feeling him stepping close behind her. Her heart starts beating so fast and her eyes bulge hearing a picture being taken. She felt as if she just got caught kissing him feeling so guilty.

Stefan turns her around and runs his hand down her arm. Bonnie breaths out through her nose and his lips curve making her realize that she's been eyeing his lips and quickly looks up to watch his eyes.

"I'm Stefan."

"Bonnie, nice to meet you."

"How tall are you?"

"Five three."

"So you're practically a little person?"

"Which is why I wear heels most of the time."

He smiles. "Come on,"

She was ready to grab his arm but he just walks away leaving her a little stumped. She grabs her shoes and follows behind him but at least his assistant (or whatever) holds the door open for her.

"Thanks,"

"No problem. I'm Mason,"

"Bonnie. Sorry about the whole wardrobe malfunction."

"Don't worry about it, I've seen much less."

They chuckle. "So you're what to Stefan?"

"His publicist, manager, friend." Damn. "I basically control everything pertaining to him."

They all get into the elevator and it's quiet from there all the way into the limo. Bonnie felt perfectly fine with silence but felt as if she should say something.

"So uh, what's this movie about?"

Stefan looks over at her with narrowed eyes. "Seriously?"

"I'm quite busy, and I don't own a TV."

He studies her. "Well, I think it'll be better going in with no clue so you have no idea what to expect."

"I feel like I'll be doing that a lot over this next year and a half."

"So you're what, an inspiring actress, model, singer?"

"Someone didn't look at my file."

"Mason does all the work, I trust him."

"What do you think I am?"

"Let me think about it and I'll get back to you,"

She chuckled and he smiles. Bonnie finds it very hard to understand why he needed to hire her in the first place. He seemed like a decent guy and hates to admit it, but she could feel herself eventually falling for him. That is if she somehow became single within the time of their contract.

"We're here,"

Stefan gets out first and helps her out and the flashes are consistent. She hears ladies screaming and men calling his name from all directions and suddenly feels very dizzy. Stefan takes her hand and she knows he's just doing this all for show but she pretends it's for comfort and follows behind him walking up to the start of the carpet.

"So here's how this works," Stefan turns and talks in her ear. "We pose together for a bit, I kiss you once on the lips then you walk to Mason and wait for me to finish interviews and photos."

"Okay," she appreciates the direction.

Mason tells someone their names and then that person shouts it so the people behind the cameras know who they're taking pictures of. Bonnie gets excited and starts to wonder if she'll be on Getty Images in the morning.

Posing on a red carpet was something that she's practiced since she was five years old and though she can't pose the way she wants (solo) she just smiled and moved her eyes up and down making contact with as many cameras as she could. Stefan let's go of her hand and moves his arm around her switching things up a bit. They walk a little further down the carpet and pose some more before he does as he says and kisses her once on the lips. Bonnie moves her hand to the side of his face and he pulls away. She smiles and walks over to Mason.

"How was it?" He asks bumping their shoulders some.

"What exactly?" She turns to him.

"The flashing lights, people calling your name."

Did people call my name? "Honestly I think I blacked out."

He laughed and she smiled widely and opened her eyes more.

"Why are you doing that with your face?"

"I made you laugh?" She hit him. "That's so cool."

He shakes his head. "Let me guess you're no fun at all?"

"No I am, it's just I don't have much time to talk to people to make them laugh. With working and auditioning and painting it's hard."

"You paint?"

She chuckled. "You can say that,"

"Meaning what?"

"Well, you see I—" She stops seeing Stefan walk up to them.

"Mase," he nods his head over.

Bonnie watches them engage in what looked like a serious discussion and she starts to wonder if she got him in trouble somehow. She sighed.

"You don't look familiar,"

Bonnie turns and sees someone that doesn't look familiar to her either. "Oh, I'm with Stefan."

"Ah, I see. How long have you two been hanging?"

"Not long, it's still pretty new."

"Yet he walked the carpet with you?"

Bonnie stops herself from giving the woman some type of look sensing some jealousy going on. "It was his idea," she shrugs.

She looks her over and now she starts to get a little defensive and feel like slapping a bitch.

"Elena," they look over and Stefan's walking up to them. "I see you've met Bonnie."

"Briefly. Did you want to pose together, I'm sure the fans will enjoy it."

"Sure,"

Again Bonnie finds herself defensive because he extends his arm out to this Elena chick and yet back at the hotel he just straight up left her behind. The brunette looked back at her like she somehow stole Stefan away and gave her a wicked smile. A girl fight was not what she signed up for (literally) and the last thing she wants to do is get emotionally involved with this because she has a boyfriend and that's the last thing she needs.

"Be nice," Stefan whispered in her ear moving his arm around her.

"What do you mean? I was just introducing myself." Elena defended.

"They used to hookup," Mason informed her. "During the time they were filming, they saw each other but it never went past the bedroom if you know what I mean." She nods watching them. "In love with him already?"

Bonnie chuckles. "No, I actually have a boyfriend back home."

"He agreed to let you do this?"

"Uh, well I told him that Stefan was on the DL if you know what I mean and he was perfectly fine with it after that."

"Wow."

"I'll tell him when it's all over and I'm back in his arms. He'll be pissed as fuck but I don't think he'd leave me."

"I'm sure no one can stay mad at you for too long."

"Tell that to my parents." They chuckled. "I'm sure my mom is still upset about something I did in high school."

He chuckled again then she felt someone hold her hand. Bonnie looks over, seeing it's Stefan and they all walk inside. It's a huge theater but they have time before the movie actually airs so Stefan suggested that the two of them get a drink from the bar.

"So you met Elena,"

"That I did. She seems… spicy."

He chuckled. "Which is your nice way of saying?"

"Bitchy. No offense."

He nodded. "So where do you live, Bonnie?"

"What do you mean?"

"Where's your TV-less apartment?"

"You don't know? You commented on that Instagram photo I had of me moving in my apartment."

"Oh that wasn't me, that was Mason. I'm not so much into social media, I mean I do post things on my own but for the most part, it's him."

"Oh." She shifts her eyes catching Mason looking at her smiling. "Uh well, I live in LA."

"So you're an actress, okay," he nodded making her smile. "Ever been in anything I can check out?"

"Well you see I've always wanted to be an actress but was terrified that I would get in front of the camera and forget my lines."

"Okay,"

"So what I decided to do was audition for the smallest parts ever to firstly build my courage and to also get me used to saying lines on set. I was going to work my way up to bigger and bigger parts so unless you want to watch an hour and a half long movie to see me check someone into a hotel then no."

He smiled. "That's a first but I get it. So you took this job so that you can start working on those bigger roles?"

"Yep." She narrowed her eyes slightly as he looked surprised by her answer. "I'm never going to lie to you, this is make-believe, I don't have to hide who I am to you just as you shouldn't with me."

"Did you even know who I was before you signed?"

"I've heard some things, mainly about your attractiveness but I knew you weren't someone like me."

"I'm curious, how do you not have a TV?"

She laughed a little. "Well if it makes you feel better I watch shows on my laptop it's cheaper."

"Did you recognize Elena?"

Bonnie shook her head.

"I like that, you know. You don't have some predetermined beliefs on us. You get to actually know the real us without having your hopes be let down."

"Oh come on, you're not that bad."

"You don't know me quite yet." He winked. "Come on, we should get our seats."

Bonnie nodded and grabbed his arm walking beside him. She wanted to ask if they should tell Mason where they were going but remembers back to what looked like a heated discussion and decided against it. No way should she ever think they would've been discussing her, but she can't shake the feeling.

Bonnie rolls her eyes as Elena "accidentally" trips on her dress and falls onto his lap. Stefan helps stand her up and asks if she's okay and she breathes heavily assuring him that she's fine just a little tipsy.

...

Bonnie watched their backs as they were walking away from her. This is exactly how she pictured this day would end. Not! How would it look if anyone were to spread rumors or pictures for that matter of Stefan taking Elena back to her hotel room while leaving her behind to fend for herself? So he was concerned that her manger and squad and personal driver wouldn't get her home safely but she who literally had no one she knew out here would do just fine?! She wanted to cry but she had to remember that what she has between Stefan isn't real and what Stefan has between Elena is. She looked around seeing if she could find Mason but didn't want to make it too obvious that she was just left behind so she goes knocking on limo's windows to see if it belonged to Stefan or not and it felt like forever until she finally reached the correct one. He drove her back to her hotel and headed straight for her floor. She took her dress off and walked into the bathroom to shower the night off of her.

She hated how sad and upset she was feeling now but just decided to let it out and cried. She just couldn't believe that he left her there. She was his date, not Elena. She's the one that he's supposed to be concerned for not Elena. As far as she knows they both had signed that contract so they both should be held accountable for their actions, not just her.

When her tears went away she got out and dried herself off deciding to FaceTime her boyfriend. She smiled seeing his half-awake face. "I'm sorry, babe, I forgot about the time zone difference."

"What's wrong, you sound sad?"

"I just miss you so much." She felt tears building on her eyes.

"Baby, don't cry," he sat up in bed. "I miss you too, I love you so much."

She wiped away her tears. "I love you too."

"Babe, you're breaking my heart."

"I'm sorry," she apologized wiping her tears away.

"No, no, don't apologize." He frowned deeply sighing. "When do you get back?"

"Tomorrow, I think, I don't remember."

"Okay, I'll come visit you, just let me know."

"I will."

"I love you. I promise I'll cuddle you all day, I swear."

"Okay,"

"Baby, what can I say to make you feel better? I don't want to hang up with you still upset."

"It's nothing," she sniffed in, "I'll be fine, I promise. I just needed to see you."

"Is Stefan treating you OK?"

"Eh. It's like he can be two different people so it's confusing but he seems like a great guy."

"I want to meet him."

"He's always busy I don't know if you'll be able to but we'll see."

"Well even if not maybe after this whole thing is over."

She nodded. "I don't want to talk about him anymore."

"Okay. Are you jet-lagged?"

"I'm pretty tired actually. I took a nap without setting my alarm so I woke up a lot later than what I wanted so I used all my nap energy to get ready. Then we went to the carpet and had a couple of drinks then watched the movie."

"Sounds exciting."

"Yeah. Oh, can you check to see if I'm on Getty Images?"

He chuckled but told her to hold on as he got out of bed to grab his laptop. "Alright, searching for you now and… wow. You look beautiful."

"I do?"

"Yeah. Gorgeous. Though I do hate to admit it you and Stefan look pretty good together."

She laughed a little and he flipped the camera so she could see the photos. She smiles. "You made me feel so much better, baby."

He turned the camera back to him. "I'm glad. I'll see you soon, I'm gonna jack off to these photos of you."

"You're so stupid!" She chuckled.

"I love you."

"I love you more." She kissed the camera then ended the call.

...

Stefan kisses her deeply, digging his hand into her hair as her lips traveled south. He closed his eyes then narrows them realizing that he's thinking about Bonnie. He left her all alone just so he could fuck Elena and now he realizes what a mistake he's made.

"Wait, wait wait wait," he pushed her softly back. "I- I can't," he got up to retrieve his things.

"Are you serious right now? You're going to leave me for that trash?"

"Don't talk about her like that."

"You don't give a fuck about her, Stefan. It's obvious that you're just using her to make me jealous." She moved her arms around him. "Stay, she's had her fun, it's my turn." She kisses him.

"I'm sorry, Elena," he moved away and headed out of her room. He pulled out his phone calling Mason. "Hey, did you take Bonnie back to her hotel by any chance?"

He sat up from the bed. "No, I thought you were going to. Is she OK?"

"I'm sure she's fine."

"What are you talking about, why did you leave her behind?"

"I was- I left with Elena."

"Wow man, that's low."

"I fucked up alright, I'm heading there now."

"Whatever man." He ended the call.

Stefan sighed rubbing his hands over his face then got out once the door opened and tapped his finger against his leg as the elevator took him to floor after floor until he reached the penthouse. He hurried off and called out her name and started to grow worried hearing nothing in return until he saw her dress on the floor. He picked it up and walked back to the bedroom seeing her comfortably under the sheets. He let out a breath of relief then texted Mason that she was in bed.

He went and pours himself a drink from the bar and stepped outside taking a sip. He grabbed his phone as it vibrated twice in his pocket seeing he was sent a picture from Elena. He opened the message and saw her posing in lingerie and high heels in front of a mirror. He sighed then walked back inside tossing his phone on the coffee table before lying on the couch.

...

Bonnie watched him snore away on the couch and smiled happily a little that he came back to check on her after last night. If anything she learned how to appreciate what happened because it further proved that in no way can she become emotionally involved with anything Stefan Salvatore related and that she has a loving boyfriend back home who just makes her feel better and loves her unlike any other.

Bonnie spots his phone and cannot stop herself from grabbing it. She wasn't going to break into it, but just see the notifications he got overnight. She saw that most of his text received were from Elena trying to convince him to come back. Bonnie saw that as completely pathetic and rolled her eyes and then saw one from Mason.

I'm glad she's OK. Don't leave her again like that, dude seriously. Or at least let me know so I can make sure she gets back alright.

She smiled then let out a breath scrolling back up to the very top before locking it and setting it back onto the table.

She decided to make breakfast and wasn't sure if Stefan was on some particular diet or whatever but didn't exactly care.

...

Stefan groaned waking up then smelt bacon and eggs and pancakes. He sat up massaging his neck then stood seeing her in the kitchen dressed in a silk olive green slip. He tilted his head as she reached up to grab something from the cabinet having the lower curves of her ass exposed and it stayed that way as she got back to cooking. "Damn," he let out a breath before walking over to her and hoped that she would turn around so she could spoil his plan of hugging her from behind but she doesn't so he does. Bonnie jumps feeling him close to her and she bites inside her mouth as he kissed her shoulder then the side of her neck.

"I'm sorry for ditching you last night."

She swallowed. "It's cool."

"Admittedly I was thinking with my dick and not my brain." He smiled as she chuckled.

"So what was up between you two anyway?"

"We used to fuck during our time filming the movie then we wrapped then it was over. We said no strings, I wasn't really up for anything serious and you can tell that she's quite serious and I didn't want that."

"I thought people learned by now that just because you say "no strings" doesn't mean that people won't catch feelings. Sex is much more than sex, it's bonding and connecting and unifying and if you do it with the same person constantly it's almost impossible to not feel a little something. In your case especially since you both are love interests in a movie. Just adding fuel to the fire."

"I didn't catch feelings."

"That's because you're a guy. My friend once told me that in a relationship if a guy cheats it's just for sex and if a woman cheats it's because of something way deeper. Sex means more to us than it does to you guys. Not necessarily to everyone but it's the majority."

"Jealous?"

She chuckled. "Not really I just wish that I had a little more strength in that department of catching feelings, but I think I have at least since my first experience with this anyway." She reaches to grab a paper towel then realized that he was still holding onto her. "Do you eat anything, Stefan?"

He chuckled. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Will you eat this or should I stop and just make some for myself?"

"No, I'll eat it. I'll work it off later." He moved away and tugged on the end of her slip pulling it down to cover her.

Bonnie was beating herself up inside. How is it that just yesterday they met for the first time and he's already seen her left breast and ass? Unacceptable!

She looked over her shoulder and saw him setting the table. She smiled and finished up with the breakfast then joined him after putting the dishes on the table. She stood to retrieve her phone then sat back down.

"Let me see your phone,"

"Why?"

"I'm going to text myself so I have your number."

She unlocked it with her thumb then slid it across and watched him typing before his phone vibrated twice. Bonnie was ready to get her phone back but he just sat back and continued to look through it.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Give me a sec." Was his response.

She sighed but started to cut up her pancakes into fourths after adding syrup.

"Babe,"

She looked up then heard him chuckle figuring that he was recording her so she smiled then started eating as he started typing again then heard his phone vibrate again.

"Here," he slid it down the table and she stopped it before eating again realizing that this was her first time eating since yesterday. No wonder why she was so hormonal. "Why is your account private, girl, I can't share the story."

"Fine." She clicked on the app to change it.

"You don't want people to know who you are?"

"I mean I just wasn't sure. I went back and forth but I guess you're right if you want to repost something or whatever I have to keep it public."

"It's fine if you don't want to,"

"No, it's ok. It'll save me time from accepting person after person."

He smiled then started eating scrolling through her profile. "Damn girl, you didn't tell me you modeled,"

"It kind of comes with the territory."

She looked over, seeing that he commented three fire emojis on a photo then liked it. She looked to see which one it was and smiled seeing that it was one of just her face and pearled neck in black and white. She then decided to watch the story he posted and saw that it showed their food then he zoomed in to her before she looked and smiled. He tagged himself and their location and that was that. She noticed that she gained more likes on the photo Stefan commented on and gained ten followers already. She smiled and set her phone down.

"So what's on the agenda for today?"

"Uh nothing, I figured we walk around a little before our flight back."

"So you'll be flying back with me?"

"Is that OK?" He teased a smile.

"It's fine, I just mean we came separately last time."

"I had to get here a few days earlier for some TV and YouTube interviews so,"

She nodded. "How did those go?"

"Pretty good, as well as it could've gone I guess."

"Is Mason joining us?"

"Why?"

She heard a wave of slight anger to his voice. "No reason I was just wondering. He disappeared last night."

"He probably brought someone back to the hotel."

"Looks like everyone got laid last night except me, huh?"

"I didn't sleep with Elena. We made out but I left, I started to feel guilty for leaving you behind." He watched her small smile.

"And how did she feel about that?"

"Let's just say I received several photos last night of what I was missing." He narrowed her eyes as she chuckled. "What?"

"Nothing,"

"No come on, I thought we had this honesty thing going on between us."

"Okay fine, it's just a little… pathetic in my option for her to do that. I mean sure our romance is fake but she doesn't know that and for her to send you photos of herself barely dressed if anything is just sad."

"So let's say you were in her position—"

"First of all," she interrupted causing him to raise an eyebrow, "in no way would I be in that position."

"Let's just say I worked my magic on you," she rolled her eyes, "and we got to kissin' and touchin',"

"I would pull away, no doubt."

"How do you know?"

"Because I know me. I would be you in that situation, I would leave or at least distance myself from him- er you."

"You know when this is all settled and done, I hope we can be friends."

"Why wait until it's over let's just be friends now."

"Because now I have to kiss you and possibly make out with you and hold your hand. I think it's best not to label what we have going on now."

"Fair enough."

He stood. "I should head out, I need a shower and a change of clothes."

"Why are you staying at a different hotel?"

"I wasn't sure on how you'd feel about sharing this floor,"

"It's a whole floor, Stefan, it's bigger than my apartment, we could've shared."

Stefan smiled then mentally shook his head. "I'll keep that in mind next time. I'll text you when I'm on the way."

She nodded and he walked over to her and kissed the side of her mouth.

...

Stefan closed his eyes running his fingers through his soaked hair. He's now regretting hiring Bonnie because she's… perfect. She's interesting and not a pushover and barely knew who he was before. It's a rare occurrence when that happens and a part of him feels as if he should be offended but in reality, it's the best scenario that could've happened. He wonders if Bonnie is feeling the same way about him that he's starting to feel about her. She can be very hard to read but he'll take the time they have together alone to see if he could break past her first layer.

He got out hearing his phone ring and answered it seeing it was Mason. "Hey, man."

"Hey, you hanging out with Bonnie today? I saw your story."

"Yeah, I think we'll just walk around a little bit. Talk."

"Do you want me to tag along?"

"I- well if you want." He figured it'd be best that he wasn't alone with Bonnie all day just in case.

"Sure, I'll meet you in your room later."

"Ok," he ended the call then started to get ready.

...

Bonnie smiled seeing two faces getting into the limo. "Please tell me we're eating or having a picnic or something."

"We just had breakfast."

"Yeah but you know, a girl's gotta eat."

He chuckled then moved his arm around her.

"Do you think we're attracting more attention to ourselves by riding in a limo? We should get like a town car or something."

"You're not even my real girlfriend and you want to change the way I do things."

"Well, I'm just doing my job as a woman and as someone who cares. I mean unless you want the constant stalking."

"It's good for the ego."

"I just thought of the best idea! We should put you in a disguise and just let you have a very normal day around LA."

"I don't like LA."

"I'll make you like it by showing you around. Come on, I mean it doesn't have to be soon but whenever you're free."

He watched her smiling face. "I'll think about it."

The car came to a stop and they got out at a park. Bonnie smiled getting out and Stefan took her hand as they walked behind two guards. She looked around and smiled at the beautiful day surrounding them. Mason laid out a blanket for them and they sat down joining a few others who were also at the park.

"I forgot to ask you what you thought about my movie?"

"I honestly liked it. A little too much of your face but other than that, I'd rate it four out of five."

He shook his head. "You know what I think we will watch an hour and a half movie just to see you check someone into a hotel."

They smiled and he leaned in to kiss her several times catching her off guard. Maybe cameras were around that he was more aware of than she was. She took the shades off his eyes and placed them over hers smiling.

"So Mason do you act?"

"No, nothing like that,"

"Do you have any hobbies?"

"Well, I love to write. I'm actually in the middle of writing my own short film."

"Can I please have a part even if it's just girl number three?"

"Don't worry I'll hook you up with a lead role, I have an in with the writer."

They chuckled and she felt Stefan's arm go around her again. "Hey, Mase, take a photo of us," Stefan handed him his phone.

Bonnie leaned her head against his for the first photo then used his shades as a headband for the second and he kissed her for the third. He took his phone back then looked up hearing a phone ring and Mason decided to take it walking away from the two of them.

"I wasn't sure if I should tell you but Elena messaged me a little after you left. You must have one hell of a— heart."

He chuckled then shifted laying her down so he was on top of her. "Don't let her bother you, block her if you want to. I'll talk to her later."

"I kind of feel bad because she really likes you."

"She doesn't. She's just like this because I have you. We shot that film close to two years ago and I hear nothing from her between then and now. Don't feel bad." He kisses her cheeks several times making her smile and giggle.

"So what are your hobbies, Stefan?"

"I'll tell you mines if you tell me yours."

She rolled her eyes making him chuckle. "Well, I enjoy painting,"

"Could you paint me?"

"No, I'm more of an abstract type of painter."

"So basically you have no idea what you're doing,"

"Exactly."

He laughed. "I still expect something on my walls by the end of this journey."

"I'll make it fifty feet wide."

"Perfect."

She smiles and he stops himself from kissing her again. He really wanted her to be the one to kiss him next time so he'll try to hold out for her.

"What are you thinking about?" She smiled.

"Nothing,"

"Tell me yours,"

"I can sing pretty well."

"Please sing for me,"

"Our one year anniversary I'll sing for you, babe."

She chuckled. "Can't wait."

He rested his head beside hers then exhaled.

"Wait, where's Mason?"

"I think he left. He'll be fine, he's probably in the limo."

She nodded. "Are we really napping out here, babe?"

"Shh,"

She rolled her eyes but smiled as his arm moved around her. Bonnie kept her eyes open as his stayed closed and watched his face hating how at peace she felt beside him. Maybe she should really start to think of him as a friend instead of his contracted lover then the feelings she starts to have to him will always be translated to their friendship and nothing deeper.

She shook her head hearing him start to snore then kissed his lips before closing her eyes. Stefan opened his eyes and smiled before pulling her in closer to his body.

...

"So what's up with you and Bonnie?"

Stefan looked over at him with narrowed eyes. "What are you talking about?"

"Do you actually like her?"

"I don't know yet. It's still so new, I have to see if I like her past her gorgeous face and perfect body. I kind of just want to fuck her."

Mason chuckled finishing his packing. "You think she'll let you?"

"Eventually. I'm sure she'll be worth the wait."

"And then what?"

"Nothing, I don't know. We finish out this contract and whatever happens, happens."

They looked over and Stefan went to answer the door and smiled welcoming Bonnie inside. "I am not ready for this plane ride back." She laid on his bed.

"Take a nap."

"I would but I'm very well-rested thanks to you."

"Let's watch one of your movies,"

Bonnie sat up. "Really?"

"Yeah, my treat."

"I'm gonna be so embarrassed but OK."

"It'll be fine,"

"I'm gonna steal your hotel soaps," she walked into the bathroom.

Stefan went to follow after her but stopped hearing a knocking. He looked over at Mason narrowing his eyes then went to answer regretting it now seeing Elena.

"What are you doing here?"

"I can't say goodbye? I'm filming in Paris for the next month, I won't be able to see you."

"Look, we need to talk, I can't see you like that anymore, I'm with Bonnie now and we got a nice thing going, I don't want to fuck it up."

"You seriously like that chick?"

"I do."

She watched his eyes. "Fine. Can I at least get a hug then?"

Stefan exhaled but hugged her close until she moved away. He kissed her forehead. "I'll see you around,"

She nodded the left. Stefan let out a breath then walked back over to the room seeing Mason and Bonnie giving each other's phone back letting him know that they exchanged numbers.

"I can't wait to read it, seriously, it sounds amazing."

"Don't think too highly of it just yet."

"Too late." They smiled. "No but you're great at pitching things, are you planning to sell it or do you have your own production company?"

"Well I don't actually have my own yet, but I do plan to direct and edit it."

"That's so dope. Oh, I can be your DP or assistant DP if you have someone. I have an eye you know."

"Do you now?"

"Of course. They don't call me Bonnie Bennett for nothing."

Mason smiled looking into her eyes. "Hey, I was thinking we go—"

"Sorry about that," Stefan spoke up walking in and. Mason took a step back. "Are we ready to roll?"

"Yep." Mason zipped his suitcase.

Bonnie placed her hand on his shoulder then picked up her bag walking towards the door. Stefan got his bags from Mason then brushed past him catching up to Bonnie. Mason exhaled shortly following after them.
