A/N: Okay, so I wasn't really sure how this chapter was going to go, BUT this is how it ended up. Love it? Hate it? Let me know?

Chapter Two:

"Why did I even let you talk me into this?" I sighed. Caroline and Stefan had insisted on taking me out for a night on the town. I didn't feel up for it. If anything, I just wanted to unpack my things and try to make my Grams' old house seem like my home again. It hasn't even been a week, since the divorce has been finalized. Damon was true to his word. We was beyond fair with the papers. He gave me half of everything, regardless if I wanted it or not. I didn't care about the money. I cared about being able to move on with my life. I didn't have any changes to make. It only took a day for the divorced to become finalized. It felt unreal. My hand felt naked, without my wedding ring.

Caroline insisted that I come. I let her get me all gussied up. She and Stefan promised that I looked great. I barely recognized myself. I can't remember the last time that I put this much effort into my appearance. It made me feel uncomfortable. I didn't want to do anything that would draw extra attention to myself. Some women lived for the attention, I just wasn't one of them.

"Don't look now, but there are two guys definitely checking you out, Bon." Caroline all but squealed. I raised my hand to my face and moved my hair out of eye and stole a glance over to where she was talking about. She wasn't wrong. My stomach jumped and my mouth went dry. Attractive would be a massive understatement.

"That's Kol Mikaelson. You've met his brother, Klaus. He dated Care for a while, before we got together." Stefan offered. I nodded and tried to process the information. "He's a good guy, from what I've heard from Elijah and Klaus." He added. I turned to face him.

"Are you guys trying to shove me off on the next available guy you see?" I asked, making sure to keep my tone light and teasing.

"We just want to see you happy, Bon. Damon treated you like dirt. I just want to see my best friend smile and be treated like she deserves." Caroline admitted. I smiled at her – how could I not? Their hearts are in the right place. It's so hard to remember that Stefan is related to Damon. He's his brother's polar opposite.

"So this isn't a set-up?" I asked them both, skeptically. Caroline beamed at me, but shook her head.

"Pure dumb luck – I don't even know who the other guy by Klaus' brother is, but he's definitely a looker. By the looks of things, I'd say that he thinks you're one, too, because they're both heading over here now." Caroline told me. I closed my mouth. I had no idea what to say to that. Two guys? Not just one, but two? I'm so rusty at this, that I don't even remember how to flirt. Goddess, it's been ages.

"You probably don't remember me, because we've only met in passing, but I believe you're mates with my brother. You're Stefan Salvatore, right?" Kol was the first to break the ice. I was just relieved that he wasn't talking to me. Maybe Stefan and Caroline were imagining things. It's too soon. I'm not ready to get back out there, yet. I would just make a fool of myself. I've already done that enough in my lifetime. I'm not looking to add to it.

"I remember you." Stefan replied, with an easy grin. Caroline was watching the exchange like it's her favorite soap opera. "You're Kol, right?" Stefan asked. Kol nodded and his eyes landed on me.

"I've heard enough from my brother's previous obsession to know that you must be Caroline." Kol continued, gesturing to my blushing blonde friend.

"Guilty as charged," she giggled.

"But much to my dismay, I have no idea who this ravishing creature is," Kol admitted, as he took my hand into his. He brought my hand to his mouth and placed a soft kiss on my knuckles. My stomach started doing backflips. I had no idea how to respond to that.

"This is my newly single best friend, Bonnie Bennett." Caroline introduced me, saving me from my sudden loss of words. I was suddenly grateful that I never took Damon's last name.

"Newly single, huh?" The mystery man standing next to Kol asked. I just nodded. He smirked as he looked me over. I felt uncomfortable with all of the attention they were giving me. "I don't buy it. Someone as beautiful as you… being single should be a crime. Their loss is our gain." His smirk broadened. Yes – he's definitely gorgeous and doesn't he know it.

"Pardon my rude friend, darling. This is Kai. He was too busy drooling over you to introduce himself, not that I can blame him." Kol gave me an easy smile. I felt blood rush to my face. If they keep this up, I'm going to look like a tomato, by the time tonight is over. I'm definitely not used to this.

"I-It's nice to meet you both." I finally choked out.

"Would you care to join us for a drink, love?" Kol asked me, still cradling my hand in his. I opened my mouth to politely refuse, but Stefan and Caroline beat me to the punch.

"She would love to." They agreed for me. I fumed internally. How am I supposed to have a drink with them, if I can barely talk to them?

"We'll come check on you in a bit, 'kay?" Caroline told me softly, as she pulled me in for an impromptu hug.

"I hate you." I hissed, too low for anyone else to here.

"Just trust us on this. This will be good for you. You need this. What harm can come from having a drink with two gorgeous guys who are practically drooling over you? Stefan and I will be here the entire time. Just try to enjoy yourself, okay?" Caroline's request left little room for argument. I knew that she was right, but that didn't mean that I wanted to admit it.

"Okay." I agreed, pulling away. Kai and Kol both offered me their arms. I looped and arm through one of each and let them walk me to the bar. Kol helped me to my seat and they both sat on either side of me.

"What can I get you?" The bartender asked me. I bit my lip, before deciding.

"A Moscow mule, please," I ordered. She nodded and walked away to make my drink of choice.

"Newly single, huh? Who's the moron who let you go?" Kai mused. I felt more blood rush to my face. Well, I guess it's a relatively harmless question to start with.

"Stefan's older brother, Damon. We just got divorced." I replied, softly. The bartender set three drinks down in front of us. My guys must have ordered theirs before asking me to join them. I picked mine up and drank half of it. This would be so much easier if I could just calm my nerves.

"You were married to Damon Salvatore?" Kol asked, clearly confused. I just nodded. "I thought my brother had mentioned something about him finally settling down, but every time I've seen him out, he's been with a different woman."

"And that's why we're divorced." I replied, before finishing my drink. Caroline didn't say how long I had to stay, just that I had to join them for a drink. I've done that, now I can go.

"What an ass." Kai shook his head.

"I'm so sorry." Kol's sympathy seemed genuine, but I didn't want it.

"Did your friend drag you out to cheer you up?" Kai asked me, changing the subject. I nodded. "It doesn't seem to be working so far." He mused. I laughed, it was unexpected, but welcomed. I don't think he knows just how right he is.

"I can't even remember the last time that I went out. I just feel unbearably awkward." I admitted. It was their turn to laugh. It seemed to break whatever tension that had been between us. I finally felt like I could relax. The bartender gestured to my empty cup and I nodded.

"Well, we can't have that, now can we?" Kol asked me. I shook my head. "Would you like to get out of here?" He asked me. I opened my mouth, but didn't say anything. "If it's the place, then I'd hate to keep you feeling uncomfortable." He reasoned. I didn't have time to think it over. I nodded

"We can go to my place. Caroline has to come back to get her car, anyways." I agreed, letting them know that Caroline would show up eventually, so obviously I wasn't interested in any funny business. At least, that's the point that I'm trying to make.

"Let's let the lady finish her drink and let her friends know the change in plan." Kai suggested with a wink. I fought the blush that crept into my cheeks. "I love making you blush, Bonnie. It's adorable." He added, with a wide grin. I couldn't resist giving him a small smile back at him. Almost on cue, Caroline and Stefan came walking up. Care gave me an approving smile. I tried to act like I didn't notice.

"Speak of the devil, you have perfect timing." Kol told the two. "We were talking about taking this back to Bonnie's place. I'd hate for her to be uncomfortable all evening, because of the venue. It would be a shame not to get to know her properly. You deserve all of our attention tonight, darling." Kol schmoozed. He might be a ladies' man, but he's definitely a sweet talker. I'm definitely not complaining.

"It works out, because you'll have to come back to my place sometime tonight, anyway, to get your car. So, you'll be able to check up on everything." I added, decided that being blunt was my best option. Caroline giggled out right at that.

"You know me too well. Of course, I'll be checking on my best friend." She agreed. I smirked. Stefan nodded in agreement.

"It might not be legal anymore, but I'll always think of you like my sister, Bonnie. It's my duty as your brother to make sure that you're okay." He teased.

"We don't want to scare them off." Caroline chided Stefan and gave his arm a playful pinch.

"We don't scare easily." Kai reassured them.


The ride back to Grams' wasn't as awkward as I was afraid it would be. I sat in front with Kol and Kai in the backseat. It was strange how at ease I felt with them, even though we had just met tonight. If nothing else comes from tonight, at least I enjoyed myself. I'd chalk that up to a win.

"My lady," Kai breathed, as he opened the car for me and helped me to my feet.

"Thank you." I gave him a shy smile.

"The pleasure is all mine." He grinned, before laying a tender kiss on my cheek. I bit my lip and blushed. What exactly have I gotten myself into?

I unlocked the door and invited both of them in. We all took off our coats and hung them up on the coatrack next to the door.

"Would you like a drink?" I asked them. They both nodded, paying more attention to me, than the question.

"I'd love one. What have you got?" Kol asked me. I gestured for him to follow me into the kitchen and showed them the liquor cabinet that I had inherited from Grams', the booze I had taken from the boarding house, and the alcohol that was gifted to me as housewarming gifts. "I think you could start your own business, darling." He teased. He chose an old bottle of bourbon that had been Grams'. I got glasses and Kai followed suit. I mixed myself a drink and we relocated back to the living room.

"I'm glad you had that drink with us tonight." Kai broke the silence. I sipped on my drink and nodded. I took a gulp, trying to brave up the courage that had been floating around my mind, since they asked me to join them.

"So…" I started lamely, "this is probably going to sound stupid, but why did you ask me? I mean, there are two of you and… I'm just one person." I asked lamely. They both laughed openly at that.

"I love your innocence." Kai mused. I looked at him questioningly. I didn't really know how to take that.

"We have been friends since we were just kids. We have a habit of sharing everything, more often than not. I would be lying if I said that we had never shared a woman before, because we have. We have had our fair share of threesomes." Kol admitted. Was that what they wanted from me? "Don't get me wrong, they were great. It's one of my favorite ways to be intimate with a woman, but that's not why we asked you to have a drink with us. When you came into the club, neither of us could take our eyes off of you. There's something about you and we both know that if we could, we had to have you. I think I speak for both of us when I say, that Kai and I have always been looking for someone who could handle being in a relationship with the both of us, or at least be willing to try. That is why we asked you, love." Kai finished explaining. I blinked and wondered if I had heard him right. They both want to be in a relationship with me. What?

"Me?" I echoed, before finishing my drink.

"What do you have to lose? The last idiot you were with didn't appreciate what he had and I guarantee that he sure as hell didn't give you the attention you deserved. That will never happen with us. Let us take care of you." Kai spoke up this time.

"Take care of me?" I asked, right before lips were on mine. Kol was the one to make the first move. Kai set my glass aside and let his friend taste my lips. Everything that I was thinking, all my doubts or worries came to a skidding stop. I couldn't think about anything other than the lips on mine. Kai started kissing my neck and I was getting lost the sensation. It's been so long that I've been touched, especially like this. Goddess, I missed this. "Okay," I agreed, breaking the kiss.

"You'll do it?" Kol asked me, in disbelief. I nodded.

"Don't make me regret it – please." I pleaded.

"Never babe, never," Kai promised. Just like that their lips were back on me and I was trying not to drown in a pool of affection and sensation.

"Hey Bonnie, sorry to interrupt. I just forgot my keys and I – oh." Caroline interrupted us. We broke apart, just barely. I looked over at her, trying to catch my breath.

"Um," I tried and failed to say anything to her. She just looked shocked.

"It seems like you'll be seeing a lot more of us, darling." Kol smirked.

"Wait, what?" Caroline asked, confused.

"We, um, they want to… Well, they asked if I was willing to try dating both of them and I said yes?"

"WHAT?!" Caroline screeched.

"Hey, is everything okay?" Stefan asked.

"Couldn't be better." Kai smirked.

"She – they're – she – they're all dating now." Caroline stammered.

"Oh." Stefan breathed. "Good for you, Bonnie. I'm glad you're getting back out there." Stefan gave me a genuine smile and I felt immediately at ease. "You're sure you want this, right? You weren't pressured into it?" He double checked.

"I wasn't." I told him.

"Good – we'll get out of your hair. Have fun." Stefan winked at us. Caroline looked like she wanted to protest, but Stefan had her out the door before she could. He even remembered to grab her keys.

"I give you my word, darling, you won't regret this."
