AN: Sorry for the late update. but here's a new chapter to make up for it.
It's been a couple of days since Bonnie had spent the night with Jeremy and she hasn't heard from him since that night. So Bonnie decided to surprise Jeremy by coming to the grill and bring him lunch from work.
Walking into the Grill Bonnie walked up to the bar as she noticed Matt behind the bar serving drinks.
" Hey, Bonnie. Your on your lunch break?" Matt asked as Bonnie walked up to him.
" Yeah, um is Jeremy around?" Bonnie asked as she looked around the grill for him.
" Actually Jeremy went home. He said he had some kind of emergency that needed to be handled right away. He left like an hour ago." Matt answered honestly as he wiped down the bar.
" What kind of emergency?" Bonnie asked as she looks at Matt suspiciously.
" He didn't tell me, but he did promise me that he will be back as soon as he can. Did you want wait for him?"
Bonnie sighs as she shook her head." No, it's okay. I should get back to work anyways. Just make sure Jeremy get this." Bonnie answered as she left Jeremy's lunch with Matt." I will see you around Matt." Bonnie said as she turned away from the bar and walked out of the grill. As she was just about to get back into her car she noticed Sheriff Forbes getting out of her police car.
" Hey Sheriff, What brings you to the grill?" Bonnie asked with a friendly smile as she walked towards her.
" Caroline called me and asked me to meet her here for lunch." Sheriff Forbes answered. " Are you here to see Jeremy?" She asked just as Caroline walked up toward them.
" I was, but Matt said he had some kind of emergency to take care of. So, I just dropped him off some lunch." Bonnie answered as she glanced over at Bonnie." Hey Care." Bonnie greeted with a small smile.
" Hey Bon." Caroline greeted with a friendly smile as she turned to face her mom." Hey mom, why don't you go inside and get us a table? I will catch up with you in a minute." Caroline said as she wanted to talk to Bonnie alone for a minute or two.
Sheriff Forbes nods her head as she looked at Bonnie for a moment." Well, I an sure it's nothing serious. I'll talk to you later Bonnie." She said as she walked inside leaving the girls alone for a bit.
Bonnie sighs as she rolled her eyes as she walked towards her car." Whatever you gotta say Caroline, I really don't wanna hear it." Bonnie said as she opened her car door and got behind the wheel.
Caroline crossed her arms over her chest as she huffs." Bonnie, we both know what his emergency was, and we also both know that there's obviously something going on between them. What I don't understand why are you being so stubborn about this. Jeremy is cheating on you and your too blind to see it."
" You got no idea what you're talking about, so you need to shut the hell up and mind your own business. I trust Jeremy and if he says he had an emergency to take care of then that's exactly what it is. Now, if you don't mind I gotta get back to the Cafe before Elena has way too many customers to deal with on her own." Bonnie said as she closed the car door and started the engine and got buckled in.
Caroline sighs as she steps away from Bonnie's car." I'm just looking out for you Bonnie."
Bonnie blew out some air as she looks at Caroline for a moment." Yeah, I know and honestly. Sometimes I wish you wouldn't have to so much." Bonnie said as she drove away heading back to the cafe.
Caroline huffed as she rolled her eyes. She knows for a fact Jeremy is cheating on Bonnie. She just needs to find a way to prove it. She then walked into the grill to catch up with her mom.
" Jeremy, you don't have to stay here with me. I'm sure I can take a cab home." Anna suggested as they were both sitting in the doctor's office for about an hour waiting for the doctor to get back.
Jeremy shook his head as he didn't want to leave her side." Anna, I told you before I am not going anywhere. Besides this is my baby too. I need to be here."
Anna didn't say anything as she just nods her in agreement. She knows that Jeremy should get back to work soon or at the very least get back to Bonnie, his girlfriend. Just hearing those words in her head is painful enough. But Bonnie is Jeremy's girlfriend and the very last thing she wants to do is make things more complicated for them, then she already has.
After spending an hour in the doctors office walking towards Jeremy's car, Anna stopped for a moment as she turned around and faced him." Thank you for coming with me. Even though you really didn't have too." Anna could have gone to the doctors office on her own. But Jeremy is right this his baby too and he needed to come.
" There's no thanking me. I wanted to come." Jeremy responded with a small smile. True he could've had just stayed at work. But when Anna called him to let him know about her doctor's appointment. He knew he had to come. He still hasn't told anyone not even Bonnie about Anna's pregnancy or the fact he's the father. He wants to tell them but right now it's just best to keep it between him and Anna for now.
" Are you going back to the Grill?" Anna asked as opened up the passenger door and slides in as she still waits for Jeremy to answer her.
Jeremy sighs as he nods his head." Yeah, I told Matt that I would be back in an hour and I'm already twenty minutes late." Jeremy answered as he got into the driver's seat and closed the door just as he started the engine and got his seatbelt buckled in." I'll drop you off at home before I head back to work."
Jeremy then pulled into traffic and heads back home.
Bonnie had just got back to the Cafe when she noticed Elena was sitting at one of the tables with Stefan and another man who Bonnie is assuming is Stefan's older brother Damon. Bonnie took a deep breath and plants a smile across her face as she walked over to them.
" Hey guys." Bonnie greeted them as she walked up to their table.
" Oh hey Bonnie how was lunch with Jeremy?" Elena asked.
Bonnie just shrugs her shoulders." I don't know considering he wasn't at the grill when I got there." Bonnie answered as she picked at the edge of the table.
" Bonnie you remember my older brother Damon?" Stefan asked as he slapped his hand against Damon's shoulder as Damon looked over at Bonnie and gave her his best smirk.
" It's good to see you again Bonnie."
Bonnie nods her head a little." Yeah, you too.Um, I should get back to work." Bonnie said as she quickly turned around and walking away from the table as she headed towards the back of the cafe and walked into the office and quickly closed the door. She placed her hand against her chest and tried to calm her breathing and stop her heart from beating too fast.
" Did I say something wrong?" Damon asked with concern.
Elena shook her head. " I'm gonna go check on her. I will be right back." Elena answered as she got up from the table and went to talk to Bonnie. Elena opened the office door as she found Bonnie sitting at the desk with her head down.
" Bonnie what's wrong?" Elena asked with concern as she closed the door behind her.
Bonnie sighs as she lifted her head up." I think you're right about Jeremy. I think he's actually cheating on me." Bonnie answered as she leans back against the chair." I went to the grill to surprise him for lunch. I even brought him lunch. But when I asked Matt if Jeremy was still around. Matt said he had some kind of emergency." She scoffed with a small irritated laugh.
" I feel so stupid. "
" Bonnie your not stupid. But Caroline and I did warn you. Look I love my brother. I just hate the way he mistreats women especially my best friend and he ends up get away with it. What you gonna do now that you know the truth?"
Bonnie snorts as she shook her head." I don't know. But I do know one thing, I need to talk to him." Bonnie has some questions and she knows for a fact Jeremy has the answers she needs. She just not sure if she's going to like what the answers are gonna be.
" I want you to come over for dinner tonight. I don't want you to be alone tonight." Elena suggested. " It's just gonna be me, Stefan and Damon."
" And the in laws right?"
" Well yeah, they'll be there to. So what you say? You coming or what?" Elena asked with a smile as she was hoping that Bonnie would actually consider coming over for dinner.
" You're not trying to fix me up with Damon are you? because you know how much I hate it when you try to fix me up with another man considering I'm still dating your brother." Well once she talks to Jeremy she might not be dating him for very long.
" Don't worry, I gave up trying to fix you up with anyone else. Besides who you end up dating is your business. I'm just looking out for you. I mean I'm allowed to right?"
Bonnie snorts as she nods her head." Of course, you are." She blew out some air as she nods her head once more." Okay, I will come over for dinner tonight." Bonnie said as she finally agreed to join them for dinner. She might as well since it's better than spending her Friday night at home alone tonight.
