Walking down the quiet street hand in hand with Niklaus, Bonnie was enthralled by him. She couldn't quite get over how illuminated his eyes were, and the way he always had a hint of a smile behind his casual emotion, there were too many things that caught her attention that caused her to melt like a block of ice against a summer's day.
Looking down even though she was almost his height, but not quite he smiled "Where would you like to go next? Not that I don't enjoy this aimless walk I do like to have a destination."
Thinking for a moment, everywhere they would go someone who she knew would see them "There's a park not too far from here…" looking up at him she instantly became lost in his blueish grey eyes. What was wrong with her, she never felt this way when she was with Jeremy.
"A park?" he said uninterested, but quickly changed as a smile appeared "Sounds wonderful. Lead the way."
The duo walked together until finally leading to the lush forested park accompanied by a small playground, baseball diamond and benches that scattered across the field. This was one place Bonnie could go to just have peace and quiet from the drama that revolved around the Salvatore brothers, a place that she could just be herself, and not be guarded at all times. Immediately relaxing Bonnie looked up at the blue sky and smiled, finally after several months of wallowing in her own self-pity she was on a date, with an extremely attractive guy who seemed to like her just the way she was, without the witchy goodness.
"It is beautiful, isn't it?" noticing her smile as she looked up at the sky, it was if she were having a moment to herself.
Opening her eyes, she glanced over and smiled "It really is…" To her surprise he stood looking at her, as if drinking her looks.
Intertwining his fingers with hers Niklaus positioned himself so that he stood in front of her "May I kiss you Bonnie?" he asked before bending down slightly.
Everything seemed to be moving faster than she could anticipate. What should have been a simple lunch date turned into a feud with Stefan, which turned into a walk to the park and now he was asking for a kiss. Swallowing hard Bonnie nodded her head without saying anything. Raising the free hand he placed it on her cheek, pulling her ever so slightly as his lips grazed against hers.
Feeling the phone in his pocket begin to buzz Niklaus sighed "Sorry" running his thumb over her cheek he gave an apologetic smile "This will only take a second." raising his index finger, he pulled out the ringing phone and pressed it against his ear.
"What is it, I'm on a date." he said sharply, before spinning around and walking a distance so Bonnie would not be able to hear the one sided call.
"I know, and I'm working on it." He spoke through clenched teeth "Do you really underestimate me?"
"It won't…Okay. I will see you soon. Goodbye." He ended the call and turned back to see Bonnie's beautiful confused face.
Walking back to her "I'm sorry about that, and I'm sorry that I have to put a pause in our date. I promised I would help a friend." He began to say before intertwining his fingers with hers again "You understand, yeah?" he asked kissing her cheek.
Looking down briefly before looking back up at him she nodded "Of course, you need to help a friend, who am I to stop you from that?" Once his lips found her cheek she smiled instantly "That just means date number two has to be better than this." She grinned.
"You have my word…" he said looking at her intently before kissing her full lips. Breaking the kiss he straightened his back and smiled "I'm sure you will hear from me soon. It was a lot of fun today."
Taking a step back she smiled "It was a lot of fun, thank you for that. I hope you have fun helping your friend." She smiled as they both began to walk in separate directions.
Date number one was a little rocky but she did manage to touch those softs lips for a second time. Grinning from ear to ear she called Caroline to let her know the date was a mediocre success and that she would be at home if Caroline needed anything.

Taking the final step to her room she opened the door to reveal Stefan sitting on her bed, she hadn't had this happen in months why all of a sudden now?
"Bonnie, oh thank god…" he said standing up, walking over to her and began to look her over for noticeable wounds.
"Stefan! What the hell are you doing in my room?" she asked taking a step back at his weird behavior.
"He didn't hurt you, right?" he asked giving one last look at her.
Raising her eyebrow she shook her head "No…and why would he? sitting down on the chair by her desk she watched his expressions.
Sitting back on her bed he sighed before looking into her eyes "How did you both meet and, on top of that why were on a date with him?"
"I don't see how that is any of your business." crossing her arms under her chest as she glared at him.
Matching her glare he stood up "Bonnie, stop acting like a child and just tell me how you met him." He demanded.
She had never seen him act this way, this was more something Damon would do instead of Stefan who looked down at her with fists clenched. "You seriously just didn't say that!" she said standing up, and walking towards the door "Get out, Stefan." Pointing to the stairs she was done with his behavior "As I said it's none of your business now go."
Without argument he walked past her, giving an apologetic look "I'm just looking out for you Bonnie." He said walking into the hallway and down the stairs.
"I don't need your help!" she screamed before slamming the door shut.

Lying on her bed Bonnie couldn't get the fight between her and Stefan out of her head, why was he so adamant on knowing how she met Niklaus in the first place, maybe she should have heard him out. Looking down at her phone, grabbing it she began to flip through numbers. Typical Bonnie fashion she wanted to fix the issue at hand, so she found the name Stefan through her contacts, hitting send, and listened as it rang.
"Why hello Bonnie…" a voice said that didn't belong to Stefan.
Sighing, she rolled her eyes "Damon is Stefan around?"
A low chuckle came through the phone as he said "Awe, and here I thought you wanted to talk to me. Shame, I'm much more fun than my brother."
"Damon, is he there or not?"
"No, I'm afraid he's out at the moment…but you know, I can help you." He said in his low husky tone.
Swallowing, would he know about Niklaus if there was something that she needed to know about the man she was falling for it was best to ask now then find out later.
"Bonnie?" Damon said unsure if she hung up.
"I'm here…Hey, do you know a guy by the name of Niklaus?" she asked biting her bottom lip as she listened to him suck in a breath of air.
"Where to begin." Pause "Why do you want to know about Klaus?" he said dark; his once playful emotion now vanished into the darkness Bonnie was accustomed too.
"I'm just curious…I may have…" she stopped as she heard the small beep of an oncoming phone call. Pulling the phone away from her ear it read Niklaus "I have to go." She said pressing the phone back to her ear.
"Bonnie!" Damon said before she switched lines.
"Hey!" Bonnie said as a smile appeared.
"Well Hello Beautiful. How are you this fine evening?"
She melted as he called her beautiful "I'm alright, what about you? Get whatever it was finished for your friend?" she asked, twirling a strand of hair between her fingers.
There was a sigh and then a laugh "Yeah, we finished what we needed to do. However, I'm sure finishing our date would have been much more exciting."
She wanted to ask what exactly he was doing, but instead of seeming like the crazed could be girlfriend she smiled "At least it's done, right?" Another beep came through, pulling the phone from her ear the name Damon blinked.
"I suppose" he laughed briefly before asking "I'd love to take you out again that's if you'll let me."
Bonnie's heart thumped against her chest, was this really happening? "Ah, sure I'd like that." She said trying to hold back her squeal of excitement.
"Say, next Friday? This time we will go on a real date, instead of a lunch date." He ended with a small laugh.
"It's a date" she agreed before hearing the small knock on her window. Sighing, she stood up, walked towards the window, and opened the curtain to reveal Damon perched on her windowsill "I have to go. I will call you later." She said glaring at him.
"Alright beautiful, I will talk to you later" he said as if nothing was happening on her side. After saying their goodbye's Bonnie opened her window "What the hell, Damon! First it was Stefan and now you!" She said throwing her phone onto the bed, and then crossing her arms under her chest.
"Why didn't you pick up your phone?" he asked stepping into her room.
"I was obviously talking to someone duh…" she said rolling her eyes "What are you doing here, Damon?" staying in her place defiantly even as Damon loomed over her, there was no way she would break for him.
"Why were you asking about Niklaus? He demanded.
"I was just curious who this guy was, that's all." She said meeting his equally menacing glare.
Grasping onto her arms Damon shook her softly "Bonnie, just tell me." Looking into her eyes he attempted to glamor her into saying why, "I went on a date with him, okay." She said sounding defeated.
"You went on a date?!" Damon boomed "Bonnie, stay away from that guy." He said shaking her once more.
"What? I had a great time; for once I could be myself without all the damn drama." pulling her arm away from his grasp.
Running a hand through his raven hair Damon began to shake his head "Bonnie, Klaus isn't someone you want to go on a date with."
"Why? What's so wrong with him?"
Blowing out a breath Damon looked at her "He's one of us, but well more powerful than either Stefan or I…"
"You're joking…" Bonnie said rolling her eyes at him, she would have known the instant he touched her.
"Now why would I joke about something like that?" he asked shaking his head slowly.
Laughing Bonnie hit Damon's shoulder "Oh come on, if he's a vampire how did I not know instantly?"
"He's an original Bonnie; there are things they can do that we can't explain. Just stay away from him or you might be found dead in the forest." holding onto her again, in hopes she would understand exactly what he was saying to her.
"Damon, come on. He could have attacked me the moment at the party but he didn't"
"The party, Shit he was at the party!" As if realizing something he took a step back, pulled out his phone. "Stefan, we need to talk meet me as soon as you can." Turning the phone off and focused back on Bonnie.
"Do not; I repeat do not talk to him or see him. Break whatever plans you have with him." Damon demanded, while walking back over the window.
"Whatever Damon…" Rolling her eyes again as he stepped out of the window.
Turning around he looked at her "Promise me..." his voice seemed to carry off in a whisper.
"I promise you, Damon. No go." closing her window, and walking back to her bed she sat on top before lying down to stare at the ceiling. "He wasn't that bad, was he?" she asked herself, but quickly shook her head at the preposterous thought.

Klaus sat across from Kol as he finished his call with Bonnie "See, that's how easy it is…" he proudly said, as he placed his phone back into his pocket.
"How you have her fooled is beyond me…" Kol idly admired as he swirled the glass before taking a sip of the sweet nectar.
"It's not a matter of fooling her it's more I give her what she wants, and that is a stable relationship." Grinning, he crossed one leg on top of the other as he flicked through various channels.
"She'll find out soon enough, I mean she does have those hardy boy Salvatore brothers." Kol commented.
"She won't believe them, it's that simple." He grinned.
"And how are you so sure about this?" Kol asked leaning in as if what he was about to say was a secret.
"Simple, Kol. That witch we met back in Louisana, well she just happened to give me this." He said pulling out a small vile "This little gem well, this helps with making people believe what they want, and as you can see it's me she wants." placing the vial back into his pocket for safe keeping.
"What happens if the brothers find a way to reverse it or convince her just who you really are?" Kol asked as if this thought hadn't come through Klaus's mind.
"By the time they figure it out, we'll have a witch on our side. They wouldn't stand a chance then." He said picking up his own glass of thick liquid.
Kol smirked as he brought his glass to the middle of the table "Then let's pray this little plan of yours works." tinging his glass with Klaus's.
Thank you everyone who reviewed, favourited and are following my story! I really hope you enjoyed the third chapter. I wanted to make it like a typical romance, but I feel with Klaus it just can't be simple cut and dry. There needs to be crazy drama! Let me know what you think!
