Chapter 3
I
looked as if I was trying to remember.
"Oh well. Thank you
Bonnie, goodbye." She fluttered gracefully out the door
I
leaned back on my seat and sighed.
I decided to tell Damon, he'll
know what to do.
I closed my eyes and concentrated on finding his
presence. When I detected it I tried to call him but I didnt know
what to say.
"Damon?" I asked.
He was startled.
"Uhhh
Bonnie?"
"Yeah its me."
"How can
you...?"
"Times running out, come to the library-but do
it conspicuously, its impor..."
I only had a certain amount
of time that I could 'mentally speak' to someone. My time was shorter
than Elenas, Stefans or Damons. Merideth couldnt do it at all.
I
opened my eyes and the library was scattered with a few people.
After
a few minuets he walked casually through the door.
He jumped over
the counter in one fluid moment and sat on a wheely chair beside me.
I swung around to face him.
"I-I had a visitor." I
stuttered weakly.
He raised his eyebrows.
"She said her
name was...Ophelia," Damon went ridgit in his seat "of the
moonlight, that mane ring a bell?" I asked him with one eyebrow
arched.
"Umm yeah a bit, did she say why she was here?"
I
swallowed hard, was there anyway I could put this
tenderly?
"To...Kill...You" I whispered and looked at
him nervously.
To my surprise he laughed. My jaw dropped.
"She
wants to kill me?" He tried to compose himself.
I nodded, how
could this be funny? Someone wanted him dead and he was
laughing?
"Well thats going to be a bit hard isnt it?"
It was a rhtorical question.
So I just stared at him wide eyed.
What was wrong with him?
"Are you going to fill me in or just
keep laughing?" I asked.
"Sorry, but come on she wont
even know how to kill. She was so innocent so neive." He
composed himself.
I glared at him. This wasnt a joke.
"Well,
I'll see you tonight." He jumped p and flew out the
door.
"Damon, wait." But he was gone."
I
groaned, he could really annoy me sometimes.
"All men are
like that." A woman at the counter said ammused.
I realized
I'd spoken outloud.
"Sorry about that, umm okay. Do you want
to issue these books?" I asked.
I busied myself the rest of
the day keeping my mind off both Ophelia and Damon.
Lukily I had
enough afternoon jobs to keep my mind busy.
I closed the library
at 5, then sat at the computer desk. When I checked the time next it
was 6:45. shit! I was ment to meet Damon at 7. Oh crap!
I locked
up the library and sprinted to the house.
"Merideth!" I
yelled when I got in the door.
"Bonnie, whats wrong? What
happened?!" She ran to the hall.
I checked my watch 6:47.
"I
have a date with Damon in like 10 minuets." I said a little
breathless.
She pulled me into my room and helped my choose a cute
little strapless dress.
There was no time for a shower I'll just
have to use perfume I decided.
I was pulling a handbag out of the
closet when the doorbell rang.
Crap! I thought as I put my shoes
on and pushed my bag over my shoulder.
"Not to be rude Damon,
but I dont think Im going to invite you in." I heard Merideths
clear voice at the door.
"Aww," He teased "Wheres
Alaric?" He asked.
"Hes grabbing a few things from the
airport, he'll be back soon." she answered.
I walked down the
hallway, Merideth turned on her heel and gave me a secret thumbs up
as she passed me.
"Ready for our date?" He lifted he
elbow out, I put my hand through the gap.
"Sure, your looking
good." I said meeting his casual tone.
He was looking good,
he had his usual look of black on black, except today he had a
navy-almost black-shirt on under a black jacket.
his hair hung
messily around his face but it suited him amazingly. He looked
flawless.
He led me to his ferrari.
"Thanks, not to bad
yourself." He smiled.
"So where are we going?" I
asked.
I knew he wouldnt want to go to a normal resturant like the
rest of the human world because food did nothing for him his hunger
and thirst could only be satated by blood.
"I thought we
should do what they do on your average cliche movie on a first date.
Get some take out then head up to a dark place with a nice view, sit
on the bonnet and stare at the stars, or city lights."
I knew
somehow that we'd be staring at the stars and we'd be going somewhere
new to me.
We arrived at Mc Donalds drive through, a bit weird if
your driving a sports car.
I ordered my food which Damon payed for
even after I asked him not to.
He handed the man at the counter a
$50 bill. and told him to keep the change.
He drove to a summit of
a mountain which only took a few minuets because of the speed he was
going.
Once he parked the car he got a blanket out of the car and
spread it out over the front windscreen.
I munched on fries as we
talked for what seemed like hours. He asked me random questions like
what I want to do when I get out of fells church, where I want to
travel.
I replied without thinking, it was so easy. We must ahve
been talking for over 3 hours because I yawned involantarily.
"Do
you want to head back?" he asked
"Naw Im okay." I
didnt want to ruin this, I was having to much fun.
The next thing
I knew, I was getting put onto my bed in my room.
Oh no! I fell
asleep. When I opened my eyes to see who put me there Merideth,
Alaric or Damon?
It was Damon-of course-he seen my eyes flutter
open.
"Hey I have to work on my people skills dont I? I put
you right to sleep." He was ammused."I'll work on it next
time. Goodnight." He whispered and slid gracefully out of my
room.
I fell asleep again.
"Bonnie, Bonnie wake up you
idiot!" Merideth was shaking me.
"Hmm?"
"You
slept through your alarm, you'll be late for work." She
said.
"Im sick, I havent had a sick day yet this year. Can
you call in sick for me? Sarahs working anyway." I
asked.
Merideth giggled then clucked her tounge.
"You owe
me and tonight you have to tell me everything!" She demanded."Oh
and one more thing, dont be angry but I let Damon in, I hope thats
okay." She bit her lower lip.
I didnt catch half of what she
said so I nodded, groaned and rolled over.
When I woke up again I
had processed what Merideth said.
She let Damon in.
