A/N: I had no idea this song was in Vampire Diaries! I think I started writing this before it was on the show. I love a few of Andrew Belle's songs and this happened to be one of them! What a coinky-dink :)
I know I haven't updated in forever, but this is the last chapter. I greatly appreciate everyone who read and commented(:
'On a ladder from there to here, I'll climb.'
"Damon, hold the ladder!" Bonnie shouted nervously as she climbed up to the roof.
He smirks watching her bottom makes its lovely way up to the top. "I'm holding it. Don't you trust me?"
"Honestly? No." She quickly settles herself on the roof.
"How long is this going to take?"
"I don't know. Believe I wish it could've been someone else here with me!" She exclaimed staring down at the ground making sure he was still there.
"I'm doing this out of the goodness of my undying heart here, Bonnie."
She laughed. "You're doing this out of goodness of your brother's undying heart."
"Tomato, potato."
"I don't believe that's how the saying goes, nimrod."
"REALLY?" Damon said in mock astonishment.
"Lighten up on the sarcasm."
Damon huffed out an annoyed breath. He was still contemplating staying there. He wasn't quiet sure why he was at the Bennett home, watching over Bonnie cleaning out the gutters. He easily could have refused helping her. He didn't owe Stefan anything.
I'm not even getting any ass for this!
His thought process was interrupted by an onslaught of crunchy leaves.
"Watch it, Witch!" He barked angrily while running his hand over his hair, ridding it of any leaves or creature that could be residing in them.
"Oh, dear God! I'm so sorry, Damon!" She spat at the vampire. "If you think you can do a better job, then you take care of it."
"Very well. I will. I have places to go, girls to see."
She chuckled internally. I'm sure you do. Teenagers don't bleed out by themselves.
Within seconds, the perimeter of Bonnie's house was lined with the autumn leaves.
She rolled her eyes, and climbed down the ladder, ignoring the grin on Damon's face.
"You're stupid vamp abilities would have been more appreciated if I didn't waste 20 minutes of time trying to get up that ladder. I'm afraid of heights."
"You should've just asked." He stated matter-of-factly.
"I don't expect you to do things for me. You're not that kind."
Bonnie walked to her front door, sensing him behind her.
"I believe I just proved you wrong."
She shook her head. "Goodbye."
"Wait! No thank you or anything?"
"I know you couldn't possibly resist staring at my ass. You're a pig. Climbing up and down on that ladder, from there to here, was your thank you." She shut the door in his face.
He could only smile at the beautiful, and feisty witch.
...
'All this clatter between my ears, I find.'
Bonnie lied naked on her boyfriend's bed, her back slick with sweat. Her hands slipped into Damon's hair as his head was at her core, showing off his skill of the oral arts.
"I think I'm going to college in New York." She gasped out.
It took Damon a second to register her words. He was confused, one by the sudden urge to divulge such important information at a time like this, two by how invested they both were in their current states and positions.
"What?" He asked as he looked up to her face.
"I think I want to go to NYU."
"Way to kill the mood." He got up from his spot on the bed, and walked bare naked to the bathroom.
He came out in a few short second, in a pair of pajama pants. His hair was damp, and his demeanor was one of calmness, but she could see the anger in his eyes.
"Listen, it wouldn't be that difficult,"
"I can't go to New York, Bonnie. You know that." He spoke at the foot of the bed. All evidence of his hot and bothered state were gone.
"I know. But I want to get out of Mystic Falls. I want to explore, experience new things." Bonnie suddenly felt too bare. She ignored it, and sat up on her elbows.
"There are plenty of colleges in Virginia. Pick one."
"I don't want to stay in Virginia, Damon." Her tone began to take an attitudinal tone.
"What is in New York that you can't find here?"
She sighed, then chuckled. "I don't know. Hm, a night life!" Bonnie shouted. "Besides, I doubt there are that many werewolves and vampires in the city."
He laughed at that. He laughed hard. "You certainly need more of an education, that's for sure. What makes you think that there aren't any supernatural beings in the city? The big buildings?" He nearly screamed at her in obvious sarcasm.
"Why are you yelling at me?" She asked him in the sweetest voice.
Guilt immediately washed over Damon. He knew he was being a selfish asshole, but he didn't want to share his witch with the big bad city. There are clubs, parties, and other men there. Men he can't keep his eyes on.
"I'm sorry, Bon. But you'll find someone else." It was too late to take back his words. He sounded far too vulnerable for his liking.
Bonnie sat up and crawled over to him, hugging him close.
"I could never find someone else. Who could ever compete with someone like you?" She whispered in his ear.
"I just want to be with you." He whispered back.
"We'll still see each other."
Damon just held her to him, because he felt that she would forget about him despite what she said now. He didn't know what to. Luckily her lips stopped him from saying anything.
She slowly leaned back onto the bed, taking him along with her. He lay his face on her bare breasts and looked into her eyes.
"I love you. If you really want me to stay, I will." Bonnie said truthfully.
"I wouldn't want you to resent me. We'll figure it out. Just not tonight."
She nodded in agreement.
She held his ears and smiled. "What's all this clatter between your ears?"
He kissed her pulse, followed by her lips. "My face." He chuckled.
...
'Does it matter if I can't clear my mind?'
Damon was going absolutely and positively mad while Bonnie was gone. He was secretly hoping and praying that NYU was not what she was expecting and that she hated everything about it, just as he did. No matter what he did, he couldn't stop thinking about her.
Stefan began to take notice of how much of a couch potato he was becoming in her leave of absence. None of his feeble attempts to get his older brother out of the house worked.
Damon fully understood why Stefan wanted the house alone with Elena. But he wasn't leaving. They thought he was going to just be quiet as they were banging in the next room. But he wasn't having it.
One Saturday night, they had both stumbled in around 2 am. He could sense the discarding of clothing, and simple kisses all the way up the stairs. But just as the couple got to bed, he interrupted.
"If I'm not getting any for the next 4 days, neither are you two."
There was nothing they could do, except comply with his orders.
Everything reminded him of her. The dishtowel she hated, to the crack in the wall where he passionately made love to her after one of their arguments. Simple and unimportant things. Grass, she was allergic, cotton balls and nail polish, and his phone. His phone, where he anxiously awaited her calls and texts.
He figured it didn't matter that he couldn't clear his mind. Especially if he was thinking about his witch.
...
'There's a right and a wrong time.'
He couldn't contain his smile when she walked through the door. He stood there smiling like a kid on Christmas. But when she jumped into his arms, he was astounded by the wave of emotion he felt. He felt like he could never, ever let her go again. Like she was the only thing that made him remotely sane.
"This has been, by far, the most painfully 7 days of my life. I missed you." He held her there and took in her scent.
"I missed you more." She cooed.
"Probably."
She chuckled and he set her down and kissed her. He couldn't remember the last time a kiss had meant so much to him. This was the kiss to end all kisses, it was love, respect, and adoration put into one small gesture of lip to lip contact.
"My bed has missed you, too." He smiled suggestively.
"Not nearly as I missed it."
"We should all be reacquainted." With that he picked her up and she wrapped her legs aaround his waist, as he led to their bedroom, where he physically showed her how much he missed her.
They lay in bed after, just gazing into each other's eyes.
"How was your trip, Bon?" He asked, actually caring about her experience.
"It was great. We have to vacation there sometime! The building are beautiful, and the restaurants are fantastic! There are so many different people! They all have their own vibe and style. It was lovely. The college itself was perfect. Everything you would want in a school, amazing programs and academics. It's in a great area, very urban and hip. It's all so perfect."
As happy as he was to hear she loved the city, and that she had a great time, he still had that little selfish monster living in him. He wanted her to be happy, but he wanted her to be happy there with him.
"So when do you go?" He whispered, turning on his back looking up at the ceiling.
"Go? Who said I was going? I'm not going there." She said in a confused tone.
"But you love it there. I can here it in your voice." He turned to look into those emerald pools of green.
"I do love it there. But it's not the same without you. I missed you, so much. I couldn't make it months without seeing your beautiful face. I'll be just as, no more happy here." She smiled but his brows were furrowed.
"Don't stay here because of me."
"New York is great and all, but only for a little bit. I can't handle all that action everyday. Besides, Mystic Falls has all the action I need."
He smiles a bit because his day is getting brighter by the second.
"I love you. But I'm not staying to make you happy. I'm staying to make myself happy."
He kisses her lips and pulls her on top of him. "I love you, too. But where are you going go to college, now?"
"There's a right and wrong time for everything, Damon. It's not the right time for New York, but there are plenty of colleges to go around here, babe." With that she silenced him with a kiss, and they continued to be blissful and happy in Mystic Falls.
