When their lips touched, it was almost like everything around Bonnie didn't matter anymore. All her thoughts warning her about him seemed to have evaporated and all she could think about was him. All she could feel was him.

Her tongue lapped with his, their lips moving out of sync in a frenzy. His body radiated off this want for her and Bonnie knew that she was reciprocating the same energy.

His hand on her ass moved her on top of him and she straddled his waist. The bottom of her dress had risen up, bunching up at her midsection.

Bonnie could feel him underneath her; his hardened bulge was rubbing against her clit, making Bonnie moan against his lips. Kai smiled while his hands traveled up her dress and flipped them both so he could hover over her.

The kiss had broken momentarily as Kai adjusted himself between her legs but his lips were quickly reclaimed by Bonnie's, her hands sliding up in his hair. Their bodies were still moving against each other and Bonnie didn't want the feeling to stop, soft whimpers leaving her mouth.

When Kai detached his lips from hers, moving his head down, trailing soft kisses on her exposed tummy, that's when Bonnie could slowly feel all her senses come back to her. It's not until he's palming her heat when she pushes him off her in a hurry, all her rational thoughts judging her for what just took place.

Bonnie's quietly panting when she looks at Kai, who's almost off the bed, a confused look etched on his face. "What the hell was that?" She hears him ask.

Bonnie wants to reply to him, tell him exactly what that was, but she doesn't even know herself. She shouldn't be doing this; making out with a guy she just met. Bonnie doesn't do that. She's not that type of girl.

Quietly, Bonnie gets off the bed, hastily pulling down her dress all while avoiding Kai's eyes and the question that lingers in the air; unanswered.

"What are you doing?" She's bent down, grabbing at her shoes when he questions her again. Bonnie squeezes her eyes shut, inhales and turns around.

She watches as he stands up and walks towards her. He stops walking when he notices her small steps back every time he walks closer to her, a frown visible on his face.

"I'm just tired," Her voice is barely a whisper when she speaks and she almost thinks he didn't hear her as he continues to stare at her.

"Well, we can-" Kai doesn't finish his sentence, he lifts his hand to gesture towards the king sized bed, as he shoots her a small smile.

Bonnie shakes her head, "No, no. I just- I want to sleep by myself." She tries to give him an assuring smile but it comes out forced and she wants to kick herself for acting so weird around him.

"You don't have-"

"No, it's fine. Goodnight." Clutching her heels to her chest, she's out the room and down the stairs before Kai can finish his sentence. When Bonnie descends down the last step, she presses her back against the adjacent wall, her eyes shut, taking a deep breath.

Her heels clang to the floor as she lets go of them, her hand rising up to touch her lips as she's reminded of his against hers. His lips were soft and he tasted sweet; like the wine she watched him drink at dinner. The more she thought of what just took place, the more she regretted pushing him off her.

A part of her wanted to go up the stairs and back into the room where Kai still was and let him have his way with her but Bonnie stayed put, ignoring the heat pooling between her legs.

Not wanting to delve any longer in her thoughts, Bonnie pushes herself off the wall and figures she should probably look for another room to sleep in.

Bonnie tries searching around the cottage for any spare rooms but she finds herself walking in circles, the only closed doors being closets for storage.

She should've known there weren't going to be any other rooms except for the one upstairs made for the both of them.

Why didn't I just kick him out? Bonnie thinks to herself as she walks back into the living room, heading towards the couch.

She plops herself down on the loveseat and tries to get comfortable. It's hard, really. Her neck is already starting to ache, no matter how many pillows she puts under her head and Bonnie has to curl herself up to fit on the loveseat.

She should've just kicked him out.

"You did what?!" Caroline shrieked, turning around to face Bonnie with a hanger in her hand.

Caroline had come over to Bonnie's apartment to help her pack her things because today she was moving into the cottage she was supposed to share with Kai. Moving in hadn't crossed Bonnie's mind until Zuri had woken her up earlier this morning to remind her about it. As if on cue, Caroline had called her asking her how her date went and Bonnie, not wanting to answer her question afraid that Kai was upstairs and probably could hear everything, had asked her to help her pack.

Caroline, being Caroline, had agreed and now here they were; Bonnie was hunched over a cardboard box, stuffing in personal items she wanted to take with her back to the cottage while Caroline had taken upon herself to deal with the clothes in her closet.

"Lower your voice," Bonnie said as she turned around to face Caroline with a sharp gaze.

"What? It's not like anyone can hear us from a mile away." Caroline argued as she folded a piece of clothing into Bonnie's suitcase.

"Oh yeah? Because of how loud you were it seems like the whole world could hear you."

"Ooo, someone's in a grouchy mood."

Bonnie sighed and sat down on the floor as she rubbed at her cramped neck. "Sorry, I slept on the couch last night so imagine how good of a sleep I had."

A snort escapes from Caroline and Bonnie shoots her a glare. "Sorry," She says, not sounding anything like.

"So, let me get this straight. You kick your date off the bed in a middle of a steamy makeout and then sleep on the couch for the night?"

"Yup, pretty much," Bonnie says, getting up to sit at the foot of her bed.

Caroline faces her with an amused expression on her face. "Wow, seems to me like you've had a very eventful night."

Bonnie groans and hides her face in her hands. "It was the worst, Care. At first, everything was going so fine and then we kissed, and I fucking freaked and pushed him off and practically ran out of the room. And it's just- awkward. I can't face him after last night."

"Yes you can, you just don't want to."

"Exactly! Because it's awkward." There's a short pause before Bonnie hears feet shuffling towards her and feels the bed dip. She removes her hands from her face and faces Caroline, who now sits next to her.

"It's not always gonna be awkward, Bonnie. Trust me, when I first started being in a relationship with Matt- It sucked at first. But then we gave it a try and eventually started to like each other... Like the system says; live in the moment."

'Live in the moment' Was the program's slogan, it was plastered all over in these walls, no matter where you went you would either always hear or see it.

Bonnie didn't say anything for a while until she nodded, looking down at her lap. "You're right."

"Is it just me or have you been saying I'm right a lot lately?" Caroline asked, trying to brighten up the mood.

"You've just been right a lot lately," Bonnie admitted.

"Orr, how about, always?"

"Yeaah, I wouldn't go that far." Caroline nudged Bonnie with a little 'hey!' and they both gently laughed.

A loud pinging noise interrupted the comfortable silence that wafted over them and Bonnie watched as Caroline quickly got up and walked towards her bag that sat on Bonnie's dresser. Caroline took out the device that was making noise out of her bag and cursed under her breath.

"I got to go...Can you finish this by yourself?" Her friend asked as she stopped the pinging noise and stuffed the device back in her bag.

Bonnie nodded, a frown visible on her face. "Yeah, we're almost done anyways. Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, yeah everything's fine... I just forgot about something. Catch you later?" Caroline asked, putting her bag over her shoulder as she turned towards Bonnie.

"Sure, always."

Caroline smiled and started to walk towards the door to her apartment. "Great! Bye Bonnie."

"Bye"

Once Caroline was out the door, Bonnie sighed and fell back on the bed. She had a little time to waste before she had to go back to the cottage. Bonnie groaned at the thought of seeing Kai again, grabbing a pillow to cover her face with.

She could still feel the tingling feeling she had felt after kissing Kai. He wasn't a bad kisser, he was really good at it but everything was happening too fast for Bonnie.

She needed time to think things through like she always did. She wasn't the type to dive head first into things but the way things have been going it seems like that's all she's forced to do.

Removing the pillow off her face, Bonnie turned her head to look at the large digital clock on the wall, that came with her apartment and figured she had at least an hour to kill. Sighing, while putting the pillow behind her head, Bonnie drifted off to sleep.

Kai's walking out of a store when he sees her. She looks the same, he realized as he starts walking towards her. She's walking in the park by herself with her eyes glued to her pod in her hand as she smiles at the screen. It's as if she can sense his presence when he nears, she looks up and their eyes meet.

Kai watches as realization dawns on her that it is him. He goes to smile but her eyes quickly turn to slits and she picks up her pace, walking away from him. He didn't expect her to run into his arms and say how happy she was to see him but he also didn't expect her to look at him like he wasn't anything to her.

"Wait! Wait-" Kai tries to call for her attention, but she continues to speed walk away from him.

"Jo!"

"What do you want, Kai?" Finally, she says something. Kai smiles.

"Is it so hard to believe that I just want to talk to you, sissy?" Kai said as he jogs up next to his sister, Jo.

Jo stops walking and turns around to face Kai, who almost bumps into her.

"What possibly is there for us to talk about?!" She snaps.

Kai scoffs, trying to ignore the pang in his chest when she stares at him with anger-filled eyes.

"Oh, I don't know, Jo. How about 'How have you been, Kai? I haven't spoken to you in a year since we've got here. Or I know, I know! How about why you, Liv and Luke have been avoiding me," Kai pauses as he tries to calm down, not wanting to bring attention to them as people passed by them in the park. "You blame me don't you." He whispered.

Jo's once-angry eyes softened as she stared back at her twin's. "I don't blame you."

"Then why else have you been ignoring me, Jo?"

She doesn't reply for a few minutes as she stares at him, conflicted on what to do or say next. Jo sighs, turning around to look at the cafe across the park then back at him.

"If you want to talk, then let's talk but not here."

He watches as she taps against the screen of the menu, ordering what she wanted from the small cafe they decided to go to. Kai glances down at his menu before him, looking at the choices. He chooses a cup of black coffee before closing off the menu, Jo doing the same.

It's silent for a while except for the quiet chatter in the background as people sit in the café around them talking amongst themselves. Kai doesn't know what to say to her, not wanting to start a fight between them. It's been a year since they've last seen each other and he wasn't lying when he said he just wanted to talk.

He stares at her as she sits across from him, her eyes like before; glued to her pod, her fingers typing away at it as she smiles.

She probably has someone, Kai thinks to himself. It's jealousy he feels when he watches her smile at something or someone she most likely just met while all he got was glares or frowns for wanting to talk to her.

He tries to remember the last time she's ever smiled because of something he said or just because he was there. But he can't seem to remember and he makes a mental note to check when he gets back to the cottage.

"Thought you said you wanted to talk?" Jo's voice snaps him out of his thoughts and their eyes meet. Jo has one eyebrow raised waiting for him to speak, her smile from before gone.

"I do but watching you giggle like a schoolgirl was a lot more entertaining." An unexpected smile plays across her face and she playfully kicks him under the table. Kai laughs as he tries to dodge her kick but is too late as her foot collides with his leg.

"Ow" Kai yelps, returning the smile.

He missed this and the way Jo smiles at him, her smile slowly fading away as she realizes what just happened, he can tell she misses this too.

"It's been a while," Kai says.

"I know" She replies, her smile replaced with a small frown.

"Why?" He asks and Jo sighs as the topic is brought up again. Kai needs to know, needs to know why she's been ignoring him ever since what happened. It's not like he caused it like he's the one that did it. He's was there with her the night that happened, he experienced the same heartbreak she's experiencing now, that they were all experiencing. So why did she react that way towards him today when she first saw him? Like he was the one who did it. He needs to know.

"I just- I needed space, Kai," Jo answers honestly.

"For a year?" He questions again.

"Yes, for a year. Okay? I needed time to myself to process what had happened. We all did. And so, when we had to come here… I used this to my advantage. And I'm sorry if it feels like I blame you for what happened.. I don't. I blame him and you know that." Jo's voice lowers as she nears the end of her sentence not wanting her confession to be heard by anyone else except them.

Kai nods as he makes an attempt to understand why she hasn't spoken to him for a while. "Liv and Luke blame me though."

Jo shakes her head, wanting to reach out and touch her brother but thinks better of it knowing at a time like this she wouldn't know how he would react. "No, they don-"

"They do." He cuts her off, and she swallows as she waits for him to explain.

"I saw Luke the other day, I wanted to talk to him you know, wanted to see how he was holding up, like the big brother I am," Kai smirks at Jo. She doesn't return it. "And he punches me. Right in the fucking eye, and that shit hurt. Didn't know little Lukey had that much power in him to do that." He laughs.

She struggles with what to say next and Kai notices the way her mouth tries to form words to reply to what he just said so he changes the subject.

"Who's the guy?" Jo hums in question and he jerks her head towards her device on the table. The once black screen lights up after she receives a notification. Jo looks down at the device and smiles at the screen once again before quickly shutting it off and facing her twin who watches her with raised eyebrows.

"They found my soulmate.." Her cheeks turn a light pink as she thinks about the guy they've paired her up with for forever and she smiles shyly at her brother.

"When?"

"A couple weeks ago…" She confesses.

Kai can feel himself getting angry as he scoffs at her answer. "So if I never saw you today you wouldn't have tried to reach out and at least say goodbye, huh?"

Jo sighs and shakes her head, this time trying to reach out to her brother but he leans back away from her touch, waiting for her answer.

Before she can, the waiter comes with their drinks handing Kai his black coffee and Jo her espresso. Kai stares at his cup, not wanting it anymore.

"I would've. I wouldn't be able to leave without saying goodbye, Kai."

When he doesn't say anything to acknowledge that, she pulls out her device again and taps a few things into it.

Kai pulls out his own as his rings, knowing it's from her. He stares at her and she nods, wanting him to open it.

'Invitation from Jo!' Reads the letters on his device as they dance around the screen. He looks back up to his sister and she tries to give him an assuring smile.

"I want you there. For my going away party. I would like for you to be there, Kai. And- if you have anyone special too, bring her."

The mention of Bonnie makes Kai's heart flutter a little and it surprises him on how she can affect him already. He chuckles at the reminder of last night on how she tasted and felt against him but also how fast she kicked him and ran out of the room.

He's been wanting to talk to her about last night, apologize, which was new to him, and maybe start all over. He had to be with her for at least a year; a bad makeout session and him sleeping alone in their, supposed to be, shared bed was not a great way to start off their relationship. So maybe inviting her to his sister's going away party might be a good thing.

"Okay."

Bonnie's putting away the last of her clothes in the closet when she hears a loud thud and she jumps at the sudden noise.

Bonnie stands still, waiting until she can figure out what the noise was. Bonnie hadn't thought about animals coming into the cottage until now realizing how they were in the middle of nowhere in the woods and now the thought has come to her.

She quickly searches until she can find a weapon just in case a critter really did come into the cottage and the first thing she could find was a lone hanger in the closet. She slowly walks out of the closet passing the bedroom and walks down the steps, trying not to make noise to scare the animal away.

The closer Bonnie gets to the noise, which is still audible in the kitchen but lower than before, the more scared she gets and the thrill of coming face to face to the creator of the noise scares her even more. What if it's bigger than a damn raccoon? What the fuck am I supposed to do with a damn hanger?

Bonnie rounds the corner into the kitchen and immediately she sighs in relief because the suspect wasn't an animal, it was Kai.

After relieving her fear of an unknown animal in her cottage, Bonnie could feel her body tense up at the sighting of Kai. He turns around as if he can sense her and he gives her his smirk he always seemed to wear on his face.

"Hey" He greets her and she leans against the doorway of the kitchen, tilting her head as she watches him work in the kitchen. He's cooking something and Bonnie would be lying if she said it didn't smell good.

"Did I scare ya'?" He asks and turns back to his cooking and Bonnie nods at his back before realizing he can't see her.

"Something like that" Bonnie mutters, walking towards the island in the kitchen and setting the weak excuse of a weapon down on it as she sits on a stool. Kai chuckles at her answer turning around to look at her and Bonnie almost think he stops smiling for a minute but once she blinks he's smiling again.

"What are you cooking?" She questions, turning her head to see what he had put in the oven but was too slow as Kai turns around and sits the end of the island.

"You'll see."

Bonnie nods as she starts to feel uncomfortable under his stare and tries to avert her attention elsewhere in the kitchen.

"Do you want to watch a movie while eating dinner with me?" His sudden question has her snapping her head towards him in surprise and she doesn't know what expression she has on her face but she's sure it's something to laugh about as he laughs at her reaction.

Bonnie wants to say yes but also wants to decline him and just go to bed. But then she thinks of what Caroline had reminded her about today; Live in the moment.

"Sure" Was her reply and Kai's smile was genuine not one of the usual sardonic smirks he wears.

"Okay, cool." He starts to get up and walks over to the oven. "How about you choose a movie and I'll come out with the food, huh?"

"Yeah, ok." Bonnie gets off the stool and leaves the kitchen, walking into the living room. She grabs the remote for the T.V off the coffee counter and sits down on the couch.

She silently curses herself as she searches mindlessly through the movie section, she doesn't know what to pick afraid that he might not like her taste and the fact she doesn't know what he would like.

Bonnie turns around on the couch to ask Kai what genre he likes but nothing comes out as she stares at him, taking out what looked like lasagna out of the oven. She watches how concentrated he looks as he cuts a piece of lasagna and transfers it onto a plate. He's really beautiful, Bonnie thinks to herself. She wants to stop looking at him like a fucking weirdo but can't seem to tear her eyes away from him. When Kai licks his lips she finds herself licking her own, missing the way they felt on hers and beats herself over the fact that she's that one that stopped what was going to transpire between them.

She's surprised he hasn't brought it up and again ask her 'what happened', ask her why she did it. Bonnie ducks quickly, out of Kai's view when she sees him look up.

"Fuck" She whispers.

She can hear footsteps come her way and she sits up again as if nothing happened and goes back to flipping through different movie choices on the screen. Kai sets down the two plates of lasagna and Bonnie's mouth waters at the way they look so appetizingly good. She wants to start digging in already but waits for Kai as he goes back into the kitchen and comes back out with two glasses of wine.

"Oh," She says when he sets them down next to the plates filled with lasagna. The last time Bonnie drank wine she found herself making out in bed with Kai then shamelessly kicking him off and going to sleep downstairs on this very couch.

"What? You don't drink wine?" Kai asked, a knowing smirk on his face. Again.

"No- I do… You know I do." Bonnie replies.

"Yeah, I do. I'm just fucking with you." He smiles at her and plops down on the couch next to her, his thighs close to touching hers. "So you found a movie yet?"

Bonnie shakes her head and passes Kai the remote. "No, I didn't know what you would like so... You choose."

"What if you don't like what I choose?" Kai takes the remote and flips through the movies just like she did.

"I'll watch anything."

"You sure?" He looks at her with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Yeah." Bonnie eagerly replies, just wanting to already dig in the lasagna as the smell of the freshly cooked food evades her smell.

Halfway into the movie, Bonnie regretted saying she'd watch anything as Kai happily watched the gory movie that played on the screen all while digging into his food. She doesn't know how he can watch all the blood being splattered and guts being shown as he still eats his food with no distaste.

At first, Bonnie was really excited to taste the food that she had been so patiently waiting for. When she put the first forkful in her mouth she tried to suppress a moan as the food literally melted in her mouth. It tasted heavenly and was so well done she probably complimented Kai at least a few times on his cooking.

But after the first kill in the movie, Bonnie's appetite started to waver and now she couldn't even hold down the already swallowed food she had eaten as she continued to watch the movie.

When the movie came to an end and the end credits started to roll on the screen, she sighed loudly which made Kai turn her way and it was probably the way her face was scrunched up which made him laugh.

"You said you'd watch anything." He reminded her as he collected the dishes and put them in the dishwasher. Bonnie got up and followed him into the kitchen.

"Yeah, but what I had in mind was something a little less disgusting than an r-rated zombie apocalypse movie." She shuddered as she remembered seeing one of the zombies tearing out one of the character's guts and eating it. She was sure that scene was at least 5 minutes long.

"Should've been more specific than 'anything'" He teased as he leaned against the counter, the sound of the dishwasher audible in the now quiet cottage.

Bonnie snorted. "You think."

A yawn escaped Bonnie and she covered her mouth shyly as Kai stared at her with a slight smile on his face. "Well, I guess that means it's bedtime for me. Goodnight."

Bonnie turns to leave the kitchen but before she can leave, Kai calls out to her.

"Where are you sleeping tonight?" He asks her and Bonnie silently curses to herself as she realizes that she doesn't even know herself.

"Um.." She starts. Bonnie would hate having to sleep on the couch again knowing that today she had woken up with a cramp and grouchy than ever. She was really looking forward to trying out the big bed that was in the master bedroom, and only bedroom, of the cottage.

"Why don't you sleep in the room tonight and I'll just sleep where you slept last night.." He suggests and Bonnie nods and wants to thank the lords for not having to make her choose to sleep on the couch again.

"Okay, thanks. Goodnight."

"Night."

Bonnie starts to walk towards the steps that lead to the bedroom but every step she takes, she's filled with guilt. She feels bad that she made Kai sleep on the couch tonight, knowing that they were supposed to share the bed not split it. It's not what the system would want, She thinks.

Taking a small deep breath, Bonnie turns around on her heels and walks back towards the kitchen where Kai sits down on the stool staring at his pod in his hand.

"If you want we can sleep together." Kai turns around at the sound of her voice and she scrambles to correct to herself realizing what she just said. "On the same bed-I mean. Like not sleeping together but actually sleeping on the same bed. Together."

Kai smiles and nods. "I get it. And yeah, sure."

Bonnie nods back and finally leaves the kitchen walking towards the room and this time she doesn't know what the fuck she just agreed to.
