Bonnie was sitting quietly on a chair, wrapped in a towel sending a text to Caroline when suddenly those words became nothing but gibberish when Stefan unexpectedly slipped two fingers inside her and attacked her lips. She moaned accidentally sending the unreadable message before dropping her phone to bring her arms around his neck.

"You showered without me," was his explanation for the rational behavior.

Bonnie, however, didn't care for the reasoning, keeping herself in the moment enjoying the feel of his fingers and lips.

:::

Her eyes fluttered open coming to view with her sexy boyfriend gazing at her once sleeping state. He smiled then met their lips kissing her gently and pulling her body in closer to his.

"I love you."

"I love you too." She smiled then kissed him again.

"What's the plan for today?" He asked running his hand up her back.

"I don't know…maybe just hang around, go out somewhere."

"With me?"

"Are you free?"

He let out a breath. "I made plans with Damon, actually."

"Oh,"

"But I can reschedule if you want me to. I'll take you to the museum and we can take pictures next to the statues."

She smiled. "Thanks, but you don't have to. Go hang out with Damon."

"You sure?"

She nodded then got up a little hearing her phone then remembers that she dropped it on the floor about an hour ago.

Did you have a stroke or something as you were finishing?

PS sorry for the late reply had a busy morning.

Bonnie chuckled then explained that she got a little distracted before asking Caroline out for lunch.

"Who's that?"

"Caroline," Bonnie answers walking up to his bed. "I think we're gonna have lunch later."

He nods then stands to take her in his arms holding her in a strong hold from behind. Bonnie relaxes and rests her head on his muscles that occupy his left arm. His fangs shortly sink into her neck only taking a little before releasing.


Damon looked over as his brother gripped his shoulders before sitting beside him on a stool. He could tell that something had changed since he's last seen him and he guesses that Bonnie was the cause of that.

"Still with Bonnie, huh?"

"Very much. I hate to say it but I don't think that I'm ever going to get rid of her."

"She'll get rid of you eventually."

"In your dreams, maybe. She's in love with me, there's no turning back from that."

"So that means you're still in love with Elena then."

"Definitely not as much as before given my situation, but I care for her, yes." He looked his brother over. "What's up with you two anyway?"

"There's nothing "up". We're going our separate ways but maybe we'll meet again."

Stefan shrugged but then turned before growing a smile. Bonnie had snuck up behind him to hug him and grew a smile as he turned to her causing him to smile back. He met their lips kissing her several times before she pulled away, but he pulled her back in for a little more.

"Sorry to interrupt, we were just walking by and I-" her eyes softly close as his hands moved up her ribcage, "I wanted to see you."

"Yeah?"

She nodded then he kissed her again this time with a little more love into it causing the butterflies to flutter in her stomach. When they pulled away, they stayed close looking into each other's eyes exchanging their 'I love yous' silently before she kissed him once more then walked away. Stefan watched her join Caroline's side who was just outside on the phone before they started walking together.

"So when did you turn it on?" His brother asked breaking him out of his own world of Bonnie.

"What makes you think I have it on?"

"Come on, Stefan. The way that you look at her, it wouldn't be that way unless it was on."

He inwardly smiled. "I can't pinpoint exactly when but even without humanity I was falling for her. So I decided to let it in, focus on her only because she's the good in my life."

"So this whole act-"

"It's not an act, Damon. This is exactly who I am now. Sure I might feel a little more, but unless it's with Bonnie I tend to not care too much about anything."

:::

He rested his head on her chest, the area just below her chin and he exhaled at her warmth. His legs were between hers and she used the upper knuckles of her fingers to run up and down his spine repeatedly as he held her.

"You make it so easy."

"To what?"

"To love you."

She smiled then kissed his head before exhaling. "You're so sweet."

He held her tighter closing his eyes taking a nap. Bonnie lightly kissed his head then whispered her love before napping herself.

:::

Bonnie squeezed her legs tighter feeling herself lose her balance. "Damn, Bon." Stefan placed his hands tighter on her thighs. "You're gonna crush my head."

"Sorry,"

"I won't let you fall, I promise."

She smiled then let out a determined breath then started patching up the hole in the ceiling again. It was a temporary fix, she planned to call someone in later to get the job done although Stefan offers, she wanted to help someone with their paycheck.

"Alright, I'm done."

"Steady," Stefan bent his knees a little then grabbed her bringing her to his front as he held her bridal style.

They shared a smile and kissed a few times before he placed her on her feet. "I'm taking you out tonight. We'll go to dinner then to a club to get some drinks."

"Can't wait."

He smiled then kissed her again. "I'll buy you something,"

"No, I don't-"

"Let me buy you something. Come on, you're my girl, I need to treat you sometimes."

She smiled. "Okay."


Stefan pulled her close to his side and whispered something in her ear which didn't seem all that important since Bonnie barely reacted.

Caroline felt like a stalker watching the two, but she couldn't help herself! She doesn't know what it is about the two that makes her want to creep, but it seems as if every time she sees them out she had to stop and stare for a least a few minutes.

She chuckled a little seeing Stefan search through the racks of dresses not because he looked like he didn't know what he was doing but because he looked like he knew exactly what he was doing. She's seen the things he picked out for Elena while they were together and she couldn't have picked better outfits herself and actually seeing him search for something for Bonnie made her chuckle a little.

Her phone dinged widening her eyes seeing that Tyler had texted her to meet up so she stopped spying on the two and headed to the park.


"Hey, babe?" Stefan called out gaining her attention.

"Hm?"

"Try this on for me," he handed her a simple black dress with thin straps and a slit down the side.

Bonnie took the dress and added it to the small collection hanging over her arm.

After a little more looking around, she tried on the outfits and was honestly surprised that she liked Stefan's simple dress better than the not so simple dresses she picked out. It needed some accessorizing, but she knows of the perfect set of gold necklaces and rings that are in her jewelry box.

"Why didn't you show me?" Stefan asked when she stepped out dressed in the clothes she came in.

"Because I want it to be a surprise." Was her answer.

He growled slightly and followed after her to the register. He pulled out his wallet as the dress was being bagged and handed the woman his card. Bonnie smiled when he kissed the top of her head as he took his card back.

"Thank you, baby." Bonnie moved her arms around him once they were out of the store.

"You're welcome." He leaned in and kissed her once. "I can't wait to see you in the dress tonight."

"You'll love me in it,"

"I know I will."

She smiled and kissed him again before they headed to get something to eat.

:::

Bonnie sat in her room alone then sighed missing Stefan. A part of her hated that she misses him but she does and badly. She plopped down on her bed and tried to stop herself from reaching for her phone but lost the battle.

"Hey," Stefan answered on the second ring.

"I miss you." She frowned.

"I miss you too. I was just about to call."

She smiled, "Really?"

"Yeah, why do you think I answered so quickly? I was ready to call my Bonnie."

Her heart melted at his words. "I love you."

"I love you more." He thought about kissing her.

She frowned. "Come over."

"I will. Later."

"Babe," she whined.

"Some space will do us good,"

"But I don't want space."

"I promise you that there will be no space between us tonight."

"Good."

He chuckled. "Alright, I need to go. I'll see you at eight. I love you."

"Okay, I love you too."

Bonnie slowly hung up the phone


She decided on a messy braided crown for her hairstyle and open toes black heels on her feet. A thin golden chain falling between her breasts.

Stefan tied his tie looking In the mirror preparing for his date with his lady. He ran his hand down his blazer after wrapping a gold watch around his wrist. He never really dressed up for anything, but he wants to look his best for Bonnie because she always looks her best for him.

After a gargle of mouthwash and lip balm, Bonnie applied her favorite matte red lipstick. She packed her purse with minimal, essential things then heard her doorbell sound.

Stefan started at her feet snaking his eyes up her exposed leg, between the valley of her breasts highlighted by that golden chain. The pop of her full lips, up to her Cleopatra eyes. "You look beautiful."

Her eyes stared at the reflection of the lights in his brown shoes up the dark blue of his pants and blazer with a white button-down peeping through. "You look very handsome."

He stepped up then handed her a rose that she didn't know he was holding. She smiled and sniffed it before setting it on the side table near the door stepping outside. After watching her lock the door, Stefan took her hand leading her to his car and opened the door for her and closed it once she was fully inside.


Her arms were around his neck with his hands on her hips as they moved to the music. He told her that he wasn't in the mood to dance but wasn't surprised when he found himself on the dance floor with Bonnie in his arms.

"Let's find a place to sit." He talked in her ear then took her hand.

Bonnie followed after him but was then jolted back when another hand grabbed her free one causing her head to turn coming faced with another man. Before he could speak a word, however, Stefan was in his face.

"Back. Up. Don't you ever touch her again."

Bonnie watched a little worriedly as the two engaged in a staring match. She let out a breath of relief when the man finally backed away but Stefan didn't take his eyes off him until he was far out of reaching distance.

Stefan moved his arm around her waist this time walking beside her instead of leading her. Bonnie sat on his lap once he was seated and his arms went around her before he kissed her.

"I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault." She moved her hand down the side of his face.

"I can tell you're upset,"

"I'll be fine, I promise. I'm not mad at you."

"Let me take you home,"

"You'll stay with me?"

"Of course." He kissed her once then walked out of the club with her by his side.

:::

They laid on their sides, their heads were close, feet tangled with Stefan's arm reached around her with his eyes softly shut. Bonnie kept her eyes open watching his face. She smiled a little thinking about how she's still dressed in her dress and how the suit still covered his body minus the blazer and the shoes on their feet. It's like how it is in the movies.

"Sorry I ruined the night."

"You didn't ruin it. I would much rather be right here with you."

She smiled as his eyes opened only to close again as he kissed her. Bonnie moved in closer kissing him rougher making his arms wrap around her tightly. Her hands moved to his buttons as he hovered above her until she got tired and just ripped the shirt open pushing it down his arms. He growled nibbling on her neck moving down to her chest as his hands ran up her dress.

Bonnie let out a moan when his head landed between her legs and pulled him closer as his tongue worked magic.


The pace was slow and steady she decided as she moved her hips against him for the third time that night. Stefan watched her face and squeezed her body closer wanting her to go faster but knew that this speed was perfect for this time of night. The sun was ready to rise and knowing Bonnie she more than likely would want to go to school. She didn't want to wear herself out too much so he understood but hated and loved it all at once.

:::

Stefan woke up shutting one eye as the sun blazed through her window. She was still under his arm so he kissed the back of her neck and laid back down only to sit up and check the clock shocked to see that he was a little past noon. Not wanting to wake her because of one, she was obviously tired and two, he wanted her to stay home, he rested back beside her closing his eyes.


Bonnie blinked her eyes open sitting up a little feeling Stefan's hand slip down her body a little. She turned to the clock then smacked her hand against her head at the time. There was no point in going to school now.

Reaching for her phone, Bonnie saw that she had unread messages and she bets that most are from Caroline and she's right. They all were filled with her complaining about how she's not at school while she is with very important news. Bonnie replies and tells her that they'll meet up later along with an apology just as Stefan is waking up (again).

"Good morning,"

"Good afternoon," Bonnie corrected then kissed him once.

He smiled kissing her again moving his hand across her stomach. "Let me take you out for lunch."

"Okay, I'm starving."

They got up deciding to shower together then get dressed together before going out for lunch. The restaurants were practically empty since there's school and someone working doesn't really have the time to sit down.

"Can I get the lasagna and a Caesar salad please."

He wrote it down, "Alright… and for you, sir?"

"You know what, I'll have the same. And a side of fries."

He nodded then collected their menus.

"You know you'll want some later." He winked making her chuckle. "I know you probably don't want to talk about it but last night at the club-"

"It's just that I had a bad experience with a guy like that once. It brought the memory back and it threw me off my game for a little."

"Were you hurt?"

"No, I was fine in the end."

"Do you know who he was?"

She chuckled a little knowing exactly what he was thinking which wasn't chuckle worthy but she found it oddly sweet. "No, but if I did I would've taken care of things myself. Especially now."

"You didn't know back then?"

She shook her head. "I knew something was up, but I had no idea that it was something as major as this."

They turned their heads as their waiter stepped beside the table placing their food down. They thanked him as he walked away.

"I'm gonna have dinner with Caroline today. She needs to tell me something and since I slept in and wasn't in school, she wants to tell me then."

"I guess that's OK."

Bonnie chuckled shaking her head. "Do you want me to sleepover at your place afterward?"

"Of course I would but that's up to you."

She narrowed her eyes. "Are you okay?"

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"Your attitude changed."

"I didn't notice."

She scoffed and rolled her eyes getting up. "I need to use the bathroom."

"Wait." He stood and walked over to her wrapping her in his arms. "I just really need you." He spoke against her neck signaling what he meant.

Bonnie pulled on his arm taking them to the back. He backed her against the wall and covered her lips with his kissing her a few times before kissing down her face, the front of her neck moving to the side before piercing his fangs into the skin.

He released just as she was about to speak his name. She saw his head rest on the wall. "I'm sorry."

"It's OK."

"Look at me,"

She turned her head toward him. "You're still-"

"I'm sorry,"

"Stef-" she sighed as he was no longer in front of her. She quickly pulled out her phone and called her grunting when he didn't answer. "Stefan please call me back, don't do anything stupid, please. Please,"

She cursed hanging up the phone, threw money on their table then ran out of the restaurant heading home to do a locator spell.


He was in a cold sweat sitting under the moon. His knees were pulled in against his chest by his arms and slightly twitching hands. He was freezing in his tank top but if he put another layer on, he'll burn. Stefan's head jolted to the left feeling his body be wrapped in another's and relaxed a little when he saw that it was Bonnie. She moved in front of him hugging him close keeping her eyes closed to their surroundings.

"Get away from me."

"Stefan-"

"You need to leave. I could hurt you."

"You won't-"

"But I can."

"But you won't." She took his head in her hands staring into his eyes. "I love you."

"I don't know what's wrong with me,"

"We'll figure it out. You just lost a little control, we can fix this,"

"I killed them, Bonnie, all of them! I couldn't stop, I tried but I- they're all dead."

Bonnie looked around seeing the scatter of bodies on the field. She was shocked when she first found out that he was on the run to New York and once he finally settled that shock grew tenfold seeing a circle of bodies with him inside it.

"Everything is going to be okay, I promise. I promise." She wiped his mouth then kissed him once before embracing him again.

She felt his arms tighten around her before feeling the discomfort of his fangs in her neck. She tried pushing him off but he just didn't stop.

She gasped for air sitting slightly up on her bed with Stefan's worried eyes looking at her.

"Are you okay?"

She took several breaths realizing that it was all just a dream. "I'm fine," she managed.

"Come here," he moved in a little hugging her then kissed the side of her neck. "What happened?"

"I don't want to talk about it." She wouldn't know how he would react if she told him the truth.

He sighed. "Okay. I'm here for you, just know that." She nodded and he held her closer smoothing his hand down her back.

"I just want to lay down,"

He nodded then laid down with her kissing the top of her head when she rested it on his chest. "I love you."

"I love you too."

He moved her body up against him so he could kiss her then rested her back against him.

:::

He was happy to see that she was doing better since a few hours ago. He knows that she doesn't want to talk about it but he would like to know what she dreamt so that maybe he could help her with whatever it was.

He forced a smile when her eyes lifted on him and didn't have to force it anymore when she smiled back.

"You should be studying."

"With you in front of me, that's never gonna happen. Besides, it's history I already know everything there is to know." She rolled her eyes at his comment making him chuckle. "You're just jealous."

"Shut up."

He laughed moving closer to her on the bed laying beside her. Bonnie groaned when he turned her but found herself no longer complaining because she was staring into those eyes of his. He must really love her because they're as green as his eyes get but has a softness to them. Forget about dream Stefan, this is who he really is…on the outside.

"I want a do-over."

"On what?"

"On our date. This time no clubs, just us."

"I get bored easily so I hope you're up for a challenge."

"I am very entertaining."

"We'll see," she said skeptically causing him to glare a little at her.

She chuckled then lifted her neck meeting their lips before pulling away. She watched his eyes slowly open then run along her face before he leaned down meeting their lips again moving his hand up her right thigh moving them more on the bed.

He gave her time to breathe as he moved away from her lips kissing down her cheek and along her neck. She tried to stop the tensing feeling but realized that she fails when he spoke.

"If you don't want me to, I won't any-"

"No, I want you to. Forever. However long that may be."

He smiled moving his hand along her face making her open her eyes. "I love you."

"I love you more." Her eyes closed feeling the gentleness of his lips on hers before his fangs slipped in her skin.

He pulled away after a couple of seconds licking over her wounds then peppered kisses down her body raising the shirt over her skin.

:::

"Can you two just maybe, I don't know chill?"

The comment went unnoticed by the two who were stuck in a staring match with small smiles on their faces. Caroline rolled her eyes as Stefan leaned in to whisper something in her friend's ear making her smile even more. Their foreheads met in a soft bump then their eyes closed as they kissed. This is exactly what she gets for being late.

"I love you." He spoke lowly against her lips.

"I love you more." She said in the same range then they kissed again.

"Hellooooo?"

They broke away coming faced with their blonde friend. "Hm?"

She scoffed. "Firstly I only requested Bonnie, second I'm gonna need this whole love thing to pause because I have some love news of my own."

Bonnie perked up. "What happened?"

Caroline's eyes shifted over to Stefan then back at her friend. Bonnie got the hint.

"Okay, baby, I'll see you later." She turned to him.

He sighed. "Call me if you need me. For anything.

"I will, I promise." She moved her hand to the side of his face.

He covered her hand with his before kissing her gently only to get a little rough. He pulled away then got up leaving her wanting more.

"I hate you both."

Bonnie chuckled. "You know I actually- never mind this is about you."

"No, you just made it about you, spill."

"I'll make it short; I just had this dream about him going on a rampage killing people then when I found him I comforted him but he ended up killing me. I wake up screaming with Stefan beside me looking concerned and I was a little scared, not gonna lie, but then as the day went on I realized that he isn't like that anymore, you know. It'll always be inside of him but the sweet, loving, caring, dreamy, romantic Stefan takes over almost completely."

"That's your story?" Bonnie rolled her eyes. "Anyway, I got a text from Tyler a few days ago and he asked to meet up so I agreed, I played the hard to get type, you know the one." Bonnie chuckled. "And he actually apologized to me and genuinely apologized and I couldn't hold up the act anymore because I miss him and I love him and we decided to get back together."

"That's great, Care,"

"And I was gonna ask to double date, but seeing you two like that, I'm not so sure anymore."

"No, he was just trying to make me feel better about the dream, I didn't tell him what it was about but it obviously was a nightmare so he was being extra sweet today."

"MmmmHm." Caroline lifted her brow skeptically.


Bonnie lifted her head from the crook of his neck playing with his hair. "Do you ever miss the boardinghouse?"

"Sometimes. It's a lot of memories there, you know,"

"Yeah."

"Why do you ask, you miss it?"

She smiled, "I don't know, I was just curious."

He waited a while. "Move in with me."

"What?" She raised her hard a little to look in his eyes.

"Move in. Here, with me. Forever, however long that may be."

She smiled. "Okay."

"Yeah?"

She nodded then smiled as he leaned in and they shared a kiss. "I thought that would be a little harder." He admitted then kissed her again.

"I'm over putting restrictions over myself. For the most part anyway. I'm happy with you, truly happy and I want to do this so I can be happy even more."

He moved his hand down her face. "You know we'll fight more often, right?"

"We'll get over it eventually."

He chuckled. "I love you so much."

"I love you more."

He shook his head humming disapproval, "Impossible."

He lightly smiled then met their lips moving his leg around her. He pulled her hips close as she rocked against him repeatedly.

"Baby," he pleaded.

She smiled but stood up above him giving him a unique striptease. She smiled as she kicked her underwear off and he sat up coming faced with her womanly feature. She bent her knees until she was seated on his lap completely nude.

"Mmm," he grabbed her forcing her against him as their lips met causing heat to radiate off them.

He moved her to her back kissing down her body then up it again meeting their mouths greedily.

"Take it off." Bonnie managed between kisses.

"What off, baby?"

She grunted. "Don't play this game with me."

He chuckled then lifted the shirt over his skin as Bonnie hands raced up his back. He stopped her hand from unbuttoning his jeans. "Easy, baby. I know you want me, but let me take my time,"

"You're right. We are gonna fight more often."

He chuckled then leaned in but paused when knocks filled the house.

"Come back later!" He shouted out of the room. "I'm about ta," he looked her body over, "fuck my girlfriend."

And he did.
