Chapter Six:

"Didn't you get the hint, Mason? We don't want you here." Damon sneered. He was pissed off and clearly not considering the consequences of his actions. One bite from Mason and Damon would be toast. I'm not sure if I would even want to save him.

"Damon, still bitter, I see. Is it because I was seeing Katherine? Don't worry, I came to my senses there. I don't know about not being wanted, though. Tyler, you and Carol want me here. Right?" Mason asked Ty. He nodded, as he stared Damon down.

"Hell yeah, we do." Tyler replied.

"And you?" Mason asked Matt and Caroline. Caroline nodded, smiling brightly.

"Of course," Matt added, clearly unamused by Damon's antics.

"What about you, babe? Do you want me here?" Mason turned his attention to me. I looked up at him to see the gentle twinkle in his eye and the soft smile on his face.

"Always," I promised, before touching my lips to his. "Damon, this isn't your smartest move. One bite from either them would end you. You try to attack us and I'll end you. I'll feel zero guilt about setting you on fire. Stefan would probably miss you, though."

"Really, Judgy, you're dating them?" Damon asked with an exasperated eyeroll.

"There aren't a lot of options in Mystic Falls. Matt is like my brother. You're psychotic. Stefan isn't as bad as you are, but the principle still stands. Not to mention he and Matt are dating my best friends. And there's nothing wrong with the Lockwood's. Personally, I think they're the hottest guys in town, anyways." I said, shrugging. "Either sit down and be nice or go finish your drink somewhere else."

"I won't pick any fights, but I don't like it. You should probably tell Elena, though. I'm sure she'd rather hear it from you, than her idiot brother." Damon huffed, before sauntering away.

"I don't understand why he's making a big deal about this. I doubt Elena will be about it, though." I sighed.

"Probably because you never date anybody and she'll say something about how it's immoral to date two guys at the same time?" Caroline guessed.

"It was our idea. If she has an issue with it, that's on her. We're happy with our relationship situation." Tyler replied, looking unbothered.

"He's right, babe." Mason agreed with his nephew.

"I know. I'm sure it'll be fine." I lied. I'm sure it'll be anything but.

I texted Elena and asked her to come over to talk. I didn't tell her not to bring Stefan, but I wasn't about to invite a vampire, apart from Caroline, into my home.

"Hey Bon," Elena said, smiling as she came inside. I smiled back and hugged her.

"Hey, thanks for coming. You wanna come in and sit down?" I offered. She nodded and followed me to the living room.

"What's this all about? Is it because of Tyler and Mason? Jere messaged me saying that you were on a date with them both, earlier." Elena admitted, choosing her words carefully. I could tell that she was controlling her tone and trying to keep her face impassive.

"Yeah, actually. I know it's not conventional, but I never expected to be this happy with them. I was taken by surprise, when they suggested it. I don't know… We just kinda fit." I tried to explain.

"I don't understand it, Bon, but if you're happy, then I'm happy for you. I'll tell Damon to back off, too. Stefan thinks he's got a crush on you." Elena laughed. I snorted in disbelief.

"He's delusional." I rolled my eyes.

"Agreed. You wanna slumber it? We haven't had a girls' night in forever." She asked. I nodded with a grateful smile.

"That sounds great."

"Perfect. Let me call Caroline."
