My heart is so full! Thank you to everyone who reviewed, followed and 'favorited' this fic. This is new territory, so I am happy to see the support. This will have a bit of a mystery to it. I hope you enjoy it. Also, Mystic Falls is not the small sleepy town it was on the CW, but actually a metropolitan city. You know the kind that the soaps have where people only interact with each other and visit the same places all the time. Lol. I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: You know it all by now.

Present Day

Bonnie stood on the other side of the interrogation room door with her arms folded. She studied him as he sat at the table with his fingers laced together with his head back and eyes closed. She bit her lip debating on whether she wanted to go in or not. If she went in, this would send a sign to him and the last thing she wanted him to believe is that she forgave him. She didn't forgive him. There was no way she would allow herself to. If she did, it would be the end of her. However, he called her. He was well aware of her feelings toward him and he had called her. There was a trust there, so her mind and her heart told her that she had to come. "You are so stupid Bonnie," she mumbled before nodding at the officer watching the door.

The door was unlocked and she stepped inside with her heart beating rapidly in her chest. He looked up at her and that's when she noticed that his perfectly tailored shirt was soaked in blood, not his own…it was too much to be his own, she noted. She did notice that he had a bruise on his cheek and his knuckles were bruised. His hair which was usually perfectly coiffed was mussed and his eyes looked tired and red. She stared at him, "Don't think because I showed up that it means anything," she stated. She refused to let her voice betray her by appearing concerned, "I just came to see what you wanted."

Damon looked up at her and for the first time she met him, he looked devastated. The gleam that he always had in his eyes was gone, "Olivia's dead," he choked out.

Bonnie's mouth dropped as she braced herself against the table.

"And they think I did it," he added as if he couldn't believe it himself.

"Olivia's dead?" Bonnie breathed out, sitting down slowly across from him, "why do they believe you did it?"

He looked up at her, "It's complicated, but I need you."

"Need me? To do what?"

"To be my lawyer."

"I'm a family law attorney, not a criminal defense one."

"But you were an ADA for awhile, you know how to put people away…so you should know how to keep them out of jail too. And to be honest, you are the only one I trust here."

Bonnie stared at him from across the table, "But I hate you," she said as if it was all she could allow to stumble out of her mouth.

He cracked a smile for the first time, "You may just hate me a little, but there's another part of you that made you come here tonight."

She didn't say a word, but her eye twitched and that told him, he was right.

Six Months Before

"Who the hell is he!" Tyler whispered into Bonnie's ear.

"Olivia's new attorney," Bonnie whispered back trying to stop herself from vomiting right there in the courtroom due to shock.

"Oh great."

Bonnie looked over at Damon who gave her a wink and she struggled not to give him the finger. "Your Honor, I was just retained by Mrs. Lockwood two days ago and I have to review her case file. I would like to ask for a continuance until I have time to ensure that all of the information provided by Mr. Lockwood and his attorney is complete and accurate," Damon stated.

"Excuse me Your Honor, we've been going through this for months now," Bonnie jumped up from her seat, "my client is ready to move on with his life and I am sure that Mrs. Lockwood is as well."

"She is, however…I would like to make sure that I am providing the best representation to my client and the only way I can do that is to review everything and make the necessary motions following my review," Damon replied.

Judge Johnson looked from Bonnie to Damon, "Mr. Salvatore, you have a week to bring yourself up to speed. Following that, I expect both of you to come to the table with some type of compromise."

"Thank you Your Honor," Damon smiled as Bonnie eyes turned into slits.

Following the hearing, Damon walked out to his car whistling as hurried footsteps followed behind him. He smiled—he knew exactly who it was. "You bastard…you asshole…you fucking liar!" she seethed as her small hand grabbed his arm and turned him around, "I can't believe you…you son of a bitch!"

"Hey…it's not nice to call people names," he teased her.

She hit him with her leather portfolio in the chest. She was fuming and Damon couldn't help but think she was incredibly sexy when she was furious, "How dare you!" she screeched hitting him a few more times until he grabbed her arm, "Is that the way a school teacher acts," he marveled.

"You're a liar. You're disgusting and you make me sick. I wish I had some super powers right now to set you on fire!" she screamed.

"Bonnie, you really need to calm down," he stated, "and maybe we can talk like adults."

She ripped her arm from his hand and breathed deeply, "You said that you were a pilot."

"And you told me you were a teacher," he countered.

"You knew that we were opposing counsel, didn't you?"

"Guilty," Damon smiled.

"You are disgusting," she scoffed starting to walk away from him.

"Hey…hey…stop…" Damon walked behind her grabbing her arm, "hey, I will admit that I looked you up when Olivia hired me. I saw your profile on your firm's website and then, I innocently went on that dating website because I was new in town and came across your profile. I thought it would be interesting to get to know you before we met up in court. Then I met you and things kind of changed, the plan changed."

Bonnie looked at him, he was still holding onto her arm and his touch did send sparks up and down her body, but he had lied to her and played her…and she was sick of being played, "Stay away from me. The only time I want to talk or hear from you is in court or through filings and when I win, I hope that you are so disgraced that you will leave town as fast as you entered it…have a good day, Counselor," Bonnie snapped as she removed his hand from her arm and stomped over to her car. Damon watched as she started it up and screeched out of the parking lot. He chuckled, she was quite the firecracker and he loved it.

"I swear, I attract them…liars, assholes, jackasses…I attract them all!" Bonnie downed her glass of Pinor Noir and refilled it.

"Bonnie, I need you to calm down," Caroline Forbes, Bonnie's best friend stated taking the glass from Bonnie and looking around the bar at the patrons who were starting to stare.

"I can't calm down Caroline, I slept with the bastard who is representing my client's soon to be ex wife…he saw me naked…he saw me in all kinds of positions…he saw everything," Bonnie widened her eyes.

"Wait…what are we talking about here?" Dr. Elena Gilbert, Bonnie's other best friend, asked walking up to the two other women.

"Bonnie had her internet date," Caroline frowned.

"Oh really…was it that bad?" Elena searched Bonnie's face.

Bonnie poured some more Pinor Noir in her glass and took a swig, "The date was great. I slept with him."

"Oooh was that the bad part?" Elena wrinkled her nose.

"No, it was great. He was great. Best I ever had," Bonnie snapped as she sipped her wine.

Elena looked over at Caroline and then back at Bonnie, "I'm missing something here," she stated confused.

"He kind of lied," Caroline whispered.

"No, he didn't kind of lie Caroline, he did lie. He told me that he was an airplane pilot…an AIRPLANE PILOT Elena!" she waved her arms, spilling some of her wine and everyone at the bar looked over at that point.

"Ok…alright…umm…how about we get a table outside and talk about this," Elena smiling awkwardly taking Bonnie's hand as Caroline grabbed the bottle of wine.

The girls headed out to the patio of the restaurant, where Bonnie plopped down in a chair.

"Ok, so explain this to me please," Elena stated slowly.

"He told me he was a pilot. He was charming, handsome and funny…he was everything I needed to distract me from Detective Jerk. We had a good date, I think he seduced me with his eyes…not sure…he kissed me and my clothes just fell off," Bonnie began.

"Sounds perfect to me," Elena smirked.

"Yeah, well…today, I was in court for a hearing regarding that big divorce case that I was assigned and he walks in as opposing counsel…he's not a pilot, he's a damn lawyer and a cocky, annoying and lying one at that!"

"Ok…well that's not exactly a good thing, I guess," Elena's smile faded.

"Elena, he lied about what he did," Bonnie sighed.

Caroline frowned and then spoke up quietly, "Umm…Bonnie, I set up your profile and you said you were a teacher."

"I am a teacher!" she protested.

"You taught one class at the community college 2 years ago, not the same Bon," Caroline frowned sympathetically.

"Whatever, he knew the truth and never told me…he also kept up his lie. The fact that we had sex and now, we are on the opposite sides of this divorce is a problem. The ethical issues alone…" she sighed exasperated.

"But Bonnie, you like him don't you?" Elena asked.

Bonnie turned to look at Elena as if she had three heads, "Not any more, why would I want another liar?"

"Because he gave you some of the best sex you ever had?" Caroline suggested, "and I would say that you two are kind of even, you kind of lied too."

"We are definitely not even and I just exaggerated—he flat out lied…nope…not even," Bonnie snapped chugging her wine as her best friends exchanged looks behind her back.

"So how's Mystic Falls?" Stefan Salvatore asked his older brother.

Damon entered the code for his new condo, carrying his cache and stepped inside taking a look around, "Well it's not Manhattan, but it will do for now."

"Didn't think you would ever leave the city."

"Yeah well, Luke called and told me I owed him…so here I am handling his cousin Olivia's case."

"Luke is still calling in those favors huh?"

"So I'm here and this has already turned into an interesting experience," Damon smirked plopping down on his couch.

"Why? Is it Olivia's case?"

"Well yeah, messy divorce…husband's an asshole and he hired some high powered firm here to represent him. Female attorney…"

"Ahh," Stefan answered knowingly, "and let me guess, she's attractive."

"Attractive, almost as smart as me and a damn good attorney…good personality, great body…" Damon went on and on.

"Damon, don't sleep with her," Stefan warned.

Damon gasped in offense, "Little Brother, I'm appalled…why would you think I would do something like that. I am a professional and…"

"And you already slept with her," Stefan sighed.

"Look, it happened by accident," he defended himself, "I didn't intend for it to happen, but she was there and I was there and…things just happened."

"Something about that doesn't seem like its allowed in your profession."

"Look, it won't happen again. It was a one-time thing."

"Uh, huh…so I will be there on Saturday to bring some of your things, I'm tired of you using my house as some kind of storage place while you worked out where you wanted to hang your shingle."

"Yeah, yeah…I just walked into my new condo and it's missing all of my things, so I appreciate you helping me out."

"Yeah, yeah…what are brothers for?" Stefan stated before ending the call.

BDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBD

Bonnie stumbled into her apartment after finishing off another bottle with Elena and Caroline. Despite the alcohol, she was still furious. She wasn't sure who she was angrier at, Damon or the fact that she fell for his fake charm the night before. She should have known that he was too good to be true. A pilot with those color eyes? Nope. He had to be a fraud and turns out he was. He was opposing counsel and the fact that he had seen her naked could definitely distract her. It was pretty obvious that he had done research on her and accepted that date to learn more about her.

"You are such a fool Bonnie," she plopped down on her couch and leaned back, "of course, you would go from Kol to someone like Damon. You always fall for the cocky, handsome and good in bed guys."

She closed her eyes, "Bonnie, tomorrow will be a better day," she willed herself to believe, "you will focus on the matter in front of you and forget that Damon Salvatore saw your birthmark…oh god…" she whined as threw herself on the couch.

BDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBD

"So Bon, heard there's a new attorney helping Olivia Lockwood…guy from New York?" Marcel St. Gerard, one of the firm's corporate attorneys, stuck his head in Bonnie's office the next afternoon, "heard he's pretty good."

Bonnie glanced up from her computer as her eyes flew across her monitor, "I don't know what he is and I don't care, I'm going to win this one."

"You better, Tyler Lockwood is a big deal to this firm and if we fuck up his divorce, he will take his business elsewhere."

"Thanks Marcel."

"But I have faith in you Bennett," Marcel winked at her.

"Oh do you?" she turned to face him, "because I am well aware that we are actually both in line for partner and god knows that Tyler Lockwood and Lockwood Industries will be the key to your ascension."

"Ok…fine, you gotta win this one for the both of us…so what do you have?" Marcel entered the office, "I know that good ole Tyler boy basically cheated on his wife and she caught him. They have no pre-nup, so she's entitled to support of some kind."

"Support, not 50% of the company."

"Well good luck with that sell. He's rich, she's not. She quit her job to be his wife and she was used to living this fancy lifestyle with him. He cheated. I think, you will be lucky to allow him to keep 25% of his company once that New York attorney is done."

"Wow, your faith in me is overwhelming," she deadpanned as her assistant appeared next to Marcel.

"Bonnie, sorry to interrupt this lovely conversation," Jenna glanced at Marcel with a wink, "but I have some news, a courier just came with a copy of a motion that Damon Salvatore just filed with the court."

"A motion for what?" Bonnie jumped up from her seat and rushed over to Jenna grabbing the envelope in her hand and reading, "that bastard!"

"What?" Marcel asked looking down.

"He is requesting that a forensic accountant review Tyler's assets as well as Lockwood Industries assets. They want to make sure that Tyler is representing his net worth accurately."

Marcel whistled walking slowly out of the office, "And on that note, I'm going to leave you."

"Thanks," Bonnie rolled her eyes as she walked over to her desk, "Jenna, can you get Tyler's assistant on the phone, I need to meet with him today."

Jenna nodded, "And I will also RSVP for the mayor's birthday dinner next month, ok," closing Bonnie's office door.

Bonnie fumed. If she didn't hate Damon so intently, she would applaud him—this was a shrewd move and Olivia's previous attorney, should have requested this a long time ago. However, since she had deemed Damon an asshole—she wouldn't give him an inch. She picked up her phone and slipped on her headset, dialing the number on the case file. It rang for a few moments and then a chirpy female answered, "Good Afternoon, Law Offices of Damon Salvatore, how can I help you?"

"Hello, this is Bonnie Bennett, I would like to speak with Damon Salvatore," she stated in a controlled voice.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Salvatore is in a meeting at the moment."

"Oh well…tell him to call me back, I am sure he wants to talk to me…he knows the number," she clicked the phone off.

Bonnie leaned back in her chair and swung around to view the skyline of Mystic Falls. The truth was that she had been assaulted of images of her and Damon in bed the previous night and this morning. She couldn't ignore the way she felt a tingle between her legs whenever she thought about him or what they did. As much as she would like to blame what happened on alcohol or horniness, it would be a lie. She was attracted to him. He was handsome, he appeared to have a good personality, he made her feel beautiful and he impressed her. Maybe it was all an act from him, but she couldn't deny that whatever happened that night was genuine on her part (well besides the lie about being a high school teacher). She just found telling men or anyone new that she was a lawyer brought false impressions and she didn't like dealing with them, so sometimes she told a little white lie. The difference between her and Damon was that he knew she was lying and continued with the charade, at least that was the story she was sticking to.

Bonnie turned back around to her computer and saw she received a new email…from Damon Salvatore. She sighed before clicking, it read simply: We can talk at 8, dinner tonight at Olive Coast. She rolled her eyes before typing 'Ok' and hitting send. There was no reasonable explanation why she just agreed to have dinner with him.

BDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBD

Damon sat at a table for two at the Olive Coast later that night. He was actually surprised that Bonnie agreed to meet him; however, after the motion he filed, he was sure she was furious at him. He wasn't sure why he was going down this road with Bonnie Bennett. He knew that it would be best to keep it professional and just interact with her through filings and through court, but he was attracted to her. He was intrigued. When he decided to leave busy New York City for Mystic Falls all because a friend from college asked him to help his cousin with her divorce from her asshole husband, he wasn't sure it would only be a temporary move and he planned to make the best of it while he was here.

Years had passed since he been in a relationship and it wasn't like he was trying to get a new one, but he was interested in Bonnie. She could in some aspects be his equal…his match. However, after this divorce case, she probably wouldn't want anything to do with him.

"Miss…here's your table," the hostess smiled tightly as Damon looked up and saw Bonnie standing there.

The hostess flirted with him shamelessly when he first arrived, but apparently seeing that he was meeting a woman for dinner, kind of changed her mood. Damon smirked. It was interesting. He then took in Bonnie's look. She was dressed in a two-piece grey suit, with a white shirt and her hair was up in a bun. She looked as professional as one could get and he wanted nothing more than to release her hair, send it falling over her shoulders and take her to bed. Remove that frown from her face and give her the same pleasure he had given her the other night. He licked his lips without even realizing and he noticed Bonnie immediately react, her eyes widened and she shifted in her seat.

"Glad that you decided to meet me," Damon spoke up.

Bonnie shrugged as the waiter walked over taking their drink orders and their meals, "Bonnie, I think we should clear the air here…"

"You really want to clear the air here?" she leaned forward as her eyes began to blaze.

"Look, I know that I wasn't completely honest with you. I don't work for an airline, but I do know how to fly planes" he began, "and I know that I should have told you that I knew you weren't a teacher, but you could have shared that information as well. I was new in town and I did go on the app and I came across your profile, it was supposed to be harmless. We would go to dinner, chat, I would find out some things about you and that would be it. I shouldn't have misled you, but can you also admit that you shouldn't have lied to me?"

"You knew that I was an attorney and you knew whose attorney I was, you put my job in jeopardy," Bonnie leaned forward whispering, "you have no idea what this divorce case means to my career. You sat there and listened to me speak about how my last relationship blew up …so your apology right now? Means shit to me."

Damon sat back. He honestly hadn't thought about all of what she said until that moment, but then again he had no intention on taking all the blame for this, "Bonnie, you know…I get that. I was an ass for not telling you I knew what you did for a living and lying about my job, but you lied to me about what you did as well and as much as you want to hate me for all of this…I didn't do anything to make you fall into bed with me. To make your lips crash against mine, to make you rip my shirt off, fall into bed with me and have your kitty kat grip my di…"

"Stop it," Bonnie said through clenched teeth.

Damon chuckled, "Getting a little too hot for you?"

"Drop dead."

"Now, that's not nice Bonnie," Damon teased wagging his finger at her.

"Look, I only came here to discuss that motion you filed with the court."

"Oh ok…want to get to business, fine. What's the problem?"

"My client already submitted his financial information, there is no reason for a forensic accountant."

Damon chuckled as the waiter sat down Bonnie's water and the bottle of wine Damon ordered, "Another glass for the lady to sample the wine?" the waiter inquired.

"Yes, why not…don't want to drink alone," Damon grinned.

Bonnie rolled her eyes, "I am not drinking with you."

"Come on, just one glass. Let's relax and talk about everything like two professional attorneys," he stated as the waiter poured Bonnie a glass of the red wine.

"So anyway, like I was saying, my client released all of his financial records at the beginning of this proceeding."

"Yes and I reviewed them; however, I'm not completely convinced that was all of his assets."

"You think I would condone hiding something from the court," Bonnie raised an eyebrow.

"No," Damon sipped his wine, "but I think your client would hide assets not only from the court, but also from you. A forensic accountant will make sure that everything is on the up and up."

"You won't find anything."

"Then you have nothing to worry about," his eyelashes fluttered innocently.

"Why are you representing Olivia?" Bonnie sat back in her chair, "I'm confused, I did my research on you today—you came from New York City to Mystic Falls to practice law? I know Mystic Falls is not the smallest city in the world, but it doesn't compare to Manhattan."

"Olivia is a cousin to my friend, Luke from college, he asked me to do him a favor because Tyler Lockwood is an asshole trying to keep Olivia from what she deserves. Luke knows that Olivia was getting shafted by her lawyer and that Tyler hired a high powered firm and had one of the best on his side, so he wanted his cousin to have the best and well…" Damon lifted his hands up, "but what does interest me, is why you…someone who before this case was touted as a champion of getting jilted wives their due are now you are defending the husband? What's going on there?"

"I do what I'm supposed to as a lawyer," Bonnie stated, "we will get the forensic accountant and we will prove that we told the truth, the first time."

"Your dedication is admirable," Damon studied her and whispered, "and attractive," he leaned forward, "I don't think you understand in the least bit how much I want to have you writhing and panting on one of the flat surfaces in this place. I can still taste you on my lips…I can hear your voice in my ear telling me to go deeper…I can smell you…I want you, Bonnie."

The more Damon talked, he could feel the tightness in his pants and he needed a release. He wasn't sure if his words had any affect on Bonnie until she shifted in her seat as if she was uncomfortable, "You're just trying to get in my mind and throw me off my game," Bonnie struggled to get out taking a long sip of water.

"I don't think I could ever throw you off your game, you graduated at the top of your law school class, became an ADA right out of law school and then worked your way up as one of the most requested family law attorneys in your firm…it takes more than a few words to throw you off your game, but don't you think you need a release?" Damon asked.

"Not with you."

"You sure?"

"Definitely," Bonnie answered.

"Hmm…we'll see," Damon smirked sitting back and sipping his wine.

BDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBD

"Elena, he is trying to kill me," Bonnie struggled to get out as she ran on the treadmill in her apartment the next morning, "we went to a business dinner last night and he tried to seduce me with his words…I swear, I almost gave him everything last night…I'm pathetic!"

Elena laughed, "Bonnie, he's cute and he was good in bed, I'm not surprised that you're still interested and yeah, I know he lied but he didn't do what Kol did."

"I know that, but he's an opposing attorney. I could get into trouble and Tyler Lockwood lost his shit yesterday about Damon's newest legal move and I feel for the first time that I may lose this one Elena," Bonnie sighed, "and if I lose this one, I can kiss partner goodbye."

"But this is just one case, you've had plenty others and you've done good work."

"But Tyler brings a lot of business to the firm and he doesn't hesitate to say if he loses this, he will take all of his balls and go home," Bonnie slowed her run down to a walk, "and if that happens, you know who will be blamed for it."

Elena made a sympathetic sound, "Ok, how about this…it's Saturday night, why don't we go out. I will call Caroline, she can get Matt to watch the twins and we can go out dancing. No cares, no legal talk, no surgery talk and no kid talk—just three girlfriends having fun."

"Ok…but no talk about men," Bonnie stated.

"Nope…no talking about men, especially those named Damon or Kol or Tyler."

BDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDB

"Well thank you Brother for bringing my stuff," Damon brought in the last box from Stefan's truck.

"Look, it was taking up space in my garage. I was happy to bring it so I can have my garage back."

Damon removed one of his pictures, of a naked woman, from a box and admired it, "I missed her."

"That is the tackiest thing ever," Stefan snorted.

"Yeah, that's why I like it," Damon grinned, "so are you staying here for the weekend?"

"Yup, no rush to get back. I have some time off from work."

"Really? They gave you a break from designing those skyscrapers?"

"Well you know," Stefan shrugged, "so I guess, you can show me around town and hopefully, we won't get murdered by someone you've pissed off."

"There's only one person in this town who hates me and I doubt we will run into her, she doesn't seem like the type who would go to the same places we would."

"Oh the lawyer that you conned on your internet date."

"I didn't con her Stefan, I just left some information out and so did she. We had dinner last night and I can tell that she's still interested, but her duty to the scales and all," Damon rolled his eyes.

"And you lied to her."

"And I apologized last night, she's just difficult."

"Right…she's difficult for not falling at your feet after an apology."

"Well one way or the other, me and Bonnie Bennett are not done on a personal level. I can feel it."

"I don't get it. You're typically 'a sex them and leave them type of guy' so what is up with you and this Bonnie person?"

"Well for one…she's gorgeous and for two…she's smart and if she wasn't going up against me in this divorce, she would probably win. I actually like her and I can see she's a challenge. So while I may find someone tonight to pass the time with, I'm still keeping my eyes on Bonnie Bennett."

Stefan shook his head.

BDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBDBD

Bonnie rushed around her apartment wearing tight black pixie pants that she had to forgo lunch today to even fit into and a pink crop top. She had curled her hair to give her huge curls and she had just finished her make up. She caught a glimpse in the mirror as she found her other heel and posed, "Bonnie, you have been out of the game for far too long," she turned admiring her backside in the mirror.

She touched up her lipstick and picked up her purse off the counter, heading towards the door and opening it to find Kol. When she met his eyes, her heart did skip a beat. He looked and smelled amazing. He was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans and a grey t-shirt and his gun was holstered, it was one of the sexiest looks he had. She would not fall victim to it, too many tears and too many bottles of wine had been wasted on him.

"Going out?" he asked as his eyes drifted over Bonnie's body.

"Yes, I am," she stood in the doorway.

"I wanted to talk."

"I don't."

"Bonnie, come on…after 4 years…"

"That's right Kol, after 4 years…I have nothing else to say to you."

"Can I come in, for a few minutes? I promise that I won't delay you from wherever you're going."

Bonnie knew that she should just say 'no', but she moved out of the way and he entered, "So you going out with Elena and Caroline?" he asked looking around the apartment.

"Yes."

"Where?"

Bonnie chuckled and shook her head, "Nope, not telling you that. Shouldn't you be at work?"

"I'm working the 11 to 11 shift tonight."

"Good for you."

"Bonnie, look…I know things are still raw and that I hurt you, but I want to work on us. I want to know if I can get a second chance."

"Second chance? I was planning our wedding and I found out that you were sleeping with Anna…"

"Slept with and it was one time, it happened and I've regretted it every moment. I confessed to you what happened Bonnie, knowing that it could be the end of us. That should prove something."

"It proves that I wasn't enough for you and I'm fine with that because I can find someone that I am enough for."

"And who would that be, the guy that you spent the night with?"

Bonnie sighed, "Do you really want to talk about this right now? Do you really want to talk about this at all?"

Kol sighed loudly, "Bonnie, I'm just trying to get us back to what we were. I love you, I want this to work…even if we have to start all over again. Do you remember how I pursued you from the moment that you prepped me for that assault case? Do you remember when despite what you told me about dating cops, you would take me up on my offer for Thai food? When I proposed to you?" he reached over and took her hand in his, the hand that was vacant his engagement ring, he breathed caressing her cheek with his other hand, "you remember all of that Baby, don't you?"

Bonnie gazed up at Kol, "I do remember all of that…" she smiled, "I remember the first time you kissed me and I remember how your lips caressed mine, it was like magic…"

"It was", he gazed down into her emerald eyes.

"But you know what I also remember? My heart breaking when I heard a few of your fellow detectives in the courthouse talking about how you banged your partner in one of the interrogation rooms and how you were both almost suspended. So while I may remember everything you meant to me and what we supposedly meant to each other, I hate the fact that you didn't disappear with the clothes that I burned. So please stop. We're never getting back together on any level. I'm done. I've moved on and no, I haven't moved on with the guy from the other night—but I can assure you that there will be another guy and it won't be you, "she removed her hand from his, "now I have to go meet Elena and Caroline."

"Bonnie, you may think that I'm going to just give up. I know that I was wrong and I will make it up to you, I promise you."

"Kol, I think you should focus on finding what's next for you and don't worry about it being with me…now I'm late and I really need to go."

Kol stepped towards the door and followed Bonnie out of it, "Bonnie, there's no way I will let this be the end of us," he promised her as he turned on his heels and walked down the hallway.

Present Day

Bonnie stood in front of the interrogation room door resting her head on it, with her eyes closed. She needed a break from talking to Damon. His story didn't make sense. Her mind was spinning. She wasn't sure what she expected when she walked into the police station, but it wasn't this.

"You left our bed to come here?"

Bonnie's eyes snapped open as she turned to face Kol, "Let's not do this," she started to walk away.

"Bonnie, you left our bed to come to him," he called out to her.

She stopped in her tracks and marched back to stand in front of him, "It's my bed and last night was a mistake."

She noticed Kol look into the interrogation room, "She was stabbed multiple times…he has her blood all over him and you rush here to be his support?"

Bonnie narrowed her eyes, "What are you doing here?"

"I was called in to assist on this investigation...now if you don't mind, I have to talk to your friend in there…" Kol stated reaching for the doorknob.

Bonnie placed her had on top of his and stared directly into his eyes unflinchingly, "Not without his attorney, you won't."

So we know what Damon's accused of doing and why he called Bonnie. We'll see what happens there.

Then we have the previous 6 months. What else happened between Bonnie and Damon to have her despise him so much and what sent her back to Kol?

Please show your love/like. Thank you again for your support and encouragement.
