Elena : You know, you don't have to take me outside like I'm your old grandma.
They were at the Grill.
Bonnie : We were just making sure you were ok.
Kai : We care about you.
Both girls looked at him.
Kai : What ?
Bonnie : I'm still amazed when you do that. I'll get used to it.
Kai : still confused To what ?
Elena : Saying you care.
Kai : Oh.
Bonnie : I think it's really sweet she leaned in and kissed him
He kissed her back. Elena grabbed two fries and threw them at the couple.
Bonnie : she pulled away Hey !
Kai smiled and ate the fries.
Bonnie : What was that for ?
Elena : I don't want to hang out with you two if you're going to make out. That makes me feel lonely.
Bonnie : Awww...
Kai : As long as you don't go back with Damon.
Bonnie : You got a problem with that ?
Kai : Yeah, the guy's an asshole.
Elena : Anyway, I don't want to end up alone as a cat lady or eaten by dogs.
Bonnie : Elena, look at yourself, you're gorgeous. I doubt that will ever happen.
Kai : I second that thought.
Silence.
Kai : Ahh things do get awkward when I know how both of you look like without clothes.
The girls exchanged a glance before grabbing fries and throwing them at him.
Kai : laughing Stop ! You're wasting perfectly good food.
They laughed.
Kai : he looked at his watch It's getting late. Bon, I walk you ?
Bonnie : Yes she grabbed her purse Bye, Lena.
Elena : Mmmm just walking ? she winked
Kai : he got up, kissed her head and whispered in her ear Maybe not.
The young couple left. It took Bonnie some time but she was used to the way
Kai and Elena acted around each other. Half like siblings and half flirty. Of
course Kai had to tell her a few times that there was nothing sexual left
between them. She chose to believe him because it was easier than to
overthink things.
Elena finished her fries and went home. Caroline had compelled her into a nice
appartment. No way she was staying at the Salvatores and her old house was
still gone. Bonnie suggested she should live with her but she declined. She was
glad she did since her friend started to date Kai. She didn't feel anything
romantic towards him but she was just a woman. Finding him in boxers in the
middle of the night would be awkward and too tempting. She didn't notice she
was followed. She was dropping her keys in the bowl when she heard her door
being forced. She quickly hid and was ready to attack.
?: I know where you are.
Elena : Damon ? What the hell are you doing here ?!
Damon : he looked around Visiting your new place.
Elena : Cut the crap.
Damon : a bit surprised Oh, ok then. Can you explain what you're doing with Kai ? I saw you at the Grill.
Elena : astonished You're gone for two months and the first thing you do is being nosey ?
Damon : So you're not denying. What are you up to ? Stealing Bonnie's little boyfriend for example...
She slapped him across the face.
Damon : he glared Careful here, Elena, you're forgetting unlike you I am still a vampire.
Elena : with venom I don't steal. I slept with him before Bonnie.
Damon : What ?!
Elena : You didn't think I'd stay forever alone, right ? I can have booty calls.
Anger and hurt painted on his face.
Elena : she sighed Damon, please leave.
Damon : How could you fuck him ? He kidnapped and tortured you ! And Bonnie's really out of her mind.
Elena : You weren't always kind to me. And should I remind you that you killed her own mother ?
Damon : But...
Elena : she raised a hand to stop him Double standard much ?
Damon : he frowned You changed.
Elena : Actually, I haven't been more myself than right now. I'm not running back you. Like I said, you should go.
Damon : Whatever he left not bothering with the broken door
Elena smiled feeling free. Now she needed help with that door.
