I felt something light against my arm as I opened my eyes and took in my surroundings. I was in a baby blue room with hard wood floors and sleek furniture. I was also in bed with Jesse. His head was on my stomach and he was breathing slowly while his fingers caressed my right arm lightly. I got chills from being in such an intimate position with somebody. I hadn't had sex in months, let alone lie next to a guy in bed, and here I was, next to a 123 year old vampire who looked adorable while he slept.
"You know I can quite literally feel you staring at me."
I got goosebumps from hearing his voice. I swear a guy's sleepy, raspy voice is the most attractive thing in the world.
"I can't help it," I replied. "You're pretty."
"I'm pretty?" Jesse answered while turning his head to meet my eyes. He gave me a shy smile. "I've never heard that one before."
"Because you are," I croaked. I sounded like a chain smoker. Gross. "I mean, you're not the average looking guy. Like at all. You're highly attractive."
"Oh, it's what 11 in the morning and you're already showering me with compliments? You must be the one."
I scoffed. "So," I started. "This is your place?"
"Yeah." Jesse got up from my stomach and moved to the pillow next to me and propped his elbow up while resting his head on his hand. I tried my very hardest to not stare too much at his protruding biceps.
"Okay..." I began, trying to re-jog my memory. I had way too much to drink last night but once again, I didn't feel hungover. When did I become so much of a heavy weight when it came to drinking? Before I died I got drunk on two measly shots. I remembered how Care used to always tease me about being a light weight. That reminds me...
"Do you know where my friend is?"
"Yeah, she's in the room with some guy."
I let out a breath of relief. As long as Care was safe, I was good.
"And you know," he continued. "I wasn't so keen about another guy that I didn't know staying in my house, so I think that counts as something."
I chuckled. "So what? You think you'll earn some brownie points for that?"
"Hell yeah. And the fact that I'm a great listener."
I raised an eyebrow. "Great listener?"
"Yeah. We had a little heart to heart last night."
"Oh really? About what?"
"Well for starters, this Damon guy really fucked you over."
My blood ran cold. "W-w-what?" I stammered. "You listened to me talk about a guy last night and didn't kick me out?"
"Yeah," he said will gracing his face with a confused expression. "I mean don't get me wrong, it was kind of weird but I don't scare easy."
I smirked at that. "You're really a good guy, aren't you?"
"What can I say? Mama raised me right. Except for when she turned me into a vampire."
I chuckled. "Well if you don't mind showing me where the bathroom is, I would like to freshen up."
"Sure. It's down the hall and the first door on the left."
I nodded as I got out of bed with my full outfit on from the night before, except for my leather jacket. I turned around and looked at Jesse accordingly. His face began to blotch as he caught my drift.
"I-I didn't think it would be right to you know…undress you. Because we just met and all and I was afraid that you'd feel uncomfortable."
I gave him a genuine smile. This guy was literally the sweetest thing. "Thank you." I said. "That's really respectable of you." He returned the smile as I felt butterflies in my stomach. Holy shit. I haven't felt that way towards a guy since…well it doesn't matter anymore. The only thing that mattered was as of right now how lucky I was to find a guy like Jesse. He was a girl's dream.
Jesse, Caroline, and I finally found a decent place to eat at since Care and I had no idea where any restaurants were since we weren't in Mystic Falls.
"I swear this town-or whatever, is so weird." Caroline declared as she slid into the seating booth at this red neck restaurant called 'Fluke'. "I mean," Care continued. "Everything is so out of place. So disorganized."
"Care I know that you're a neat freak and all and a perfectionist, but how can a town be unorganized?" I questioned. I had a quizzical look on my face as I tried to not burst out in laughter due to Caroline's discomfort.
"It just is." She squeaked. "This restaurant is so un-color-coordinated. I mean pink booths with yellow tables? In what world does pink and yellow go together?"
"In this world," Jesse chimed as he picked up a menu. "Whaddaya having?"
I shrugged. "I have no idea. I also have no idea why you're eating. You're a vampire," I half whispered. "There's no point."
He shrugged. "It's a sense of normalcy. And besides I didn't have jack shit to eat at home either and I didn't want you to starve." I dipped my head in consideration and picked up a menu as well. I skimmed through the different meals and just decided on a burger and fries.
"You're not eating Care?" I asked as I set down the menu.
"Eh. I'll take a milkshake."
Soon enough the waiter came over and took our orders while not so secretly gawking at Jesse. I wanted to poke her eyes out 'cause damn! She had no shame. I rolled my eyes and cleared my throat. "Can you hurry up with our orders please?" I said with faux sincerity. "I'm starving."
The lanky waiter didn't even look my way to respond to me, she just nodded absentmindedly and gave Jesse one more wink before taking off. I hitched my eyebrows up at him. "I see you have a little fan over there."
"I can't help it," he said. "I'm too pretty."
My annoyance merely flew away by his response and a small smile graced my lips. "Are you ever gonna let me live that one down?"
He flashed a smile at me. "Probably not."
I tucked my hair behind my ear and turned to Caroline who was giving us a playful smile. Her eyes were flashy and even though she didn't say anything, I knew what she was thinking.
"So Care," I started trying to change the subject. "What happened between you and that mystery man last night?"
"Bonnie," she said with faux bashfulness. "You know a lady never kisses and tells."
"Yeah but we do! So tell me what happened! Did you…you know, have fun?" I tried to sound as subtle as possible due to Jesse's presence.
Caroline licked her bottom lip as she tapped her fingers on the table. "It was good." She gave me a knowing look. It was really good.
"Okay I need specifics. Rate 1-10."
Care giggled. "Off the damn charts."
I know this is an awkward ass way to end a chapter, but you know I wanted to try to get all the fluff out the way because in the next chapters shit is gonna get real. I wanted to show you guys happy!bonnie and drunk!bonnie because I kno she needs to have a little fun. In the next chapters, things are going to change, so I'm hoping you're here to join the ride w me. Lastly this is mainly a Bonnie/Damon centric fic and I'm saying that now cus I know I haven't been showing as much bamon interaction lately but this is just a clarification. Thanks for reading and don't forget to review.
