Over the following month and a half Damon and Bonnie's relationship kept going strong. They often had passionate, hot sex in many different positions. But it wasn't just sex between them. They cared for each other and were developing stronger feelings for each other with each passing day. Damon made her happy and vise versa. He took her out on dates in and around Mystic Falls, they went to dinners and movies and on other dates, They were a couple in every since of the word. They still kept it from Elena that they were together and dating and Bonnie felt bad about that but she didn't want her friend hurt at all.

It was an over cast day as they went out on an outing together. Bonnie drove them as they went around Mystic Falls shopping and running errands. They had been out for almost three hours when Bonnie pulled into a parking lot of a store at Damon's request. He told her that there was something that he needed to get inside.

Bonnie stood outside leaning against her car and waiting for Damon to return. She looked up at the sky it looked like it could rain at any moment. Bonnie heard a familiar voice call out to her she turned to see Jeremy running towards her. Elena said that he was coming back but she didn't say exactly when. Bonnie watched as Jeremy approached he was obviously happy to see her. Although she no longer had romantic feelings for him, she still cared for him deeply and had a soft spot in her heart for him, so she was happy to see him.

"Jeremy!" Bonnie began.

Jeremy wrapped his arms around her giving her a hug before Bonnie could even respond.

Bonnie let out a surprise chuckle. "Whoa there."

"Happy to see you Bonnie." Jeremy told her.

Bonnie hugged him back. "Happy to see you to Jer."

Jeremy released her and stepped back eyes scanning over her. "You look great as always."

"Welcome back." Bonnie told him with a smile.

Jeremy smiled back. "I couldn't stay away from Mystic Falls forever."

"How was Denver?" Bonnie asked him.

"It was nice different from Mystic Falls." Jeremy said "The time away really helped me."

"Good." Bonnie said and meant it.

Jeremy regretted hurting Bonnie when he cheated on her and still cared about her even though he figured that he and Bonnie would no longer have any chances of reuniting romantically. "How are you doing?"

"It's been tough at times." Bonnie admitted. "But I'm doing better now."

"Are you happy?" Jeremy asked.

Bonnie thought about her relationship with Damon and smiled. "I'm very happy right now."

"I'm glad to hear that." Jeremy told her taking her hand.

Bonnie watched as Damon stepped up to them. He didn't look pleased that Jeremy was touching her by holding her hand. Bonnie gave him a warning look.

Damon stepped next to Jeremy . "What are you doing here Gilbert?"

"Talking to Bonnie." Jeremy said with a raised brow.

"So you're back in town?" Damon asked

"Yeah." Jeremy said

Damon grabbed Jeremy's hand breaking it apart from Bonnie's. "Nice to have you back." He said giving Jeremy's hand a firm grip, a little too firm before he let the hand go.

Jeremy shook his hand as pain ran through it. "Uh Thanks?"

"What are you and the witch talking about?" Damon asked with that wide eyed jealous look that he got.

"Nothing." Jeremy said bewildered by Damon's behavior. "Why are you here."

Damon smirked. "Just hanging out with Bonnie."

Jeremy looked back and forth between the two. "Since when do you two hang out?"

Bonnie cleared her throat. "What Damon meant is that we are working on finding a way to defeat Klaus." She said covering their tracks. "It's just business."

Damon played along with Bonnie. "Yeah we aren't hanging out as friends Gilbert, just business."

"Of course." Jeremy said

"You should run along now and let us get back to our business." Damon told him.

Bonnie rolled her eyes at Damon. "Yeah we have to go, but I'll talk to you later if you want."

Jeremy nodded his head. "Okay see you later Bonnie?" He sent Damon one last bewildered look before walking away.

Bonnie waited until Jeremy was out of sight turning to Damon and giving him a look.

"What?" Damon asked playing innocent.

"There's no need for you to be jealous of Jeremy." Bonnie told him.

Damon brought a hand to his chest. "Me jealous of Gilbert? Never."

Bonnie arched a brow. "I know you Damon."

"So maybe I was jealous a little." Damon said "I don't like him putting his paws on you."

"He just held my hand." Bonnie told him.

"I bet that he wishes that he could do more than just hold your hand." Damon stared at the spot that Jeremy had stood in.

Bonnie shrugged a shoulder. "Who cares if he does?"

Damon's brow furrowed. "You did used to go out with him."

"Right used to as in past tense." Bonnie said "I'm with you now."

"No lingering romantic feelings for Gilbert?" Damon asked because he had to know.

"I still care about him." Bonnie said "But no I no longer have feelings like that for Jeremy."

Damon smirked. "Damn I'm so good."

"What are you talking about?" Bonnie asked

Damon wiggled his eyebrow. "My sexual skills makes you want to forget all about Gilbert and move on to me a real man."

Bonnie laughed. "You are too much Damon."

"I know." Damon said with a grin.

Bonnie opened the door to her car. "I'll drive you back to the boarding house."

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Damon took her out on a date a couple of nights later. It was a nice romantic dinner during the sun set with just the two of them. They talked and stared into each others eyes and danced a little.

They returned from their date to the boarding house. Entering into Damon's bedroom.

Bonnie kicked off her shoes. "You really know how to plan a wonderful date for a girl."

Damon removed his jacket. "So you liked it huh?"

"I loved it! Dinner under a sun set, with wonderful food and music." Bonnie said twirling around his room.

Damon smiled. "I have something for you."

Bonnie looked over at him. "What do you have for me?"

"A gift." Damon told her going over to the drawer he pulled out a jewelry box.

"What is that?" Bonnie eyed the box.

Damon handed her the box. "See for yourself."

Bonnie took the box and opened it. She gasped and pulled out a emerald diamond necklace. It was elegant and beautiful. "Oh my."

Damon chuckled at her response. "Like it?"

Bonnie studied the diamond that matches the look of her eyes. "I love it, Damon this is wonderful."

Damon took the necklace from her. "It shows the depths of my feelings for you." He gestured for her to turn around.

Bonnie did so and felt him snap the necklace around her neck. She turned back to face him emotion in her eyes. "It means so much coming from you."

"The months I have spend being with you have been the happiest that I have had in over my one hundred years on this earth." Damon said cupping her face in his hand. "You bring out the humanity that I buried deep inside of me long ago."

Bonnie leaned into his touch. "Being with you has made me very happy as while."

"Who would have thought you and are together like this Bennett." Damon said

Bonnie grinned. "It's crazy isn't it, but I know that I'm meant to be with you."

Damon's eyes scanned her face. "I'm in love with a witch."

"I'm in love with a vampire." Bonnie whispered.

That night they ended up making tender and slow love. Her eyes locking with his as he slowly moved inside of her with their fingers entwined similar to how they were doing the 60's dance. Damon watched as the pure ecstasy came across her beautiful face, she whispered his name as she came around him and he joined her in release.

After a couple rounds of love making she fell asleep. Damon ran his fingers up her bare back watching her sleep he had never seen a woman that could match her beauty and he knew that Bonnie was his world now and that he couldn't handle it if he ever lost her. Damon closed his eyes and joined his witch in sleep.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

It seemed like Mystic Falls had a dance or a ball every other week and this time was no different. A big ball was being held at the Gala Hall and anyone in town that wanted to come was invited. Most of the well known gang was suppose to be there. Damon was escorting Bonnie, Caroline and Jack were going together and even though Stefan was not currently with Elena he was escorting her,

Damon was at Bonnie's dressed in a tuxedo and looking good. He heard a click of heels and saw Bonnie come down the stairs. Damon whistled watching her come towards him in her elegant , flowing gown. The dress was a perfect contrast to her caramel skin tone, her hair in curls and flowing around her shoulders.

"You look stunning witch." Damon said

Bonnie eyed him up and down. "And you're drop dead gorgeous."

Damon grinned taking her hand and bringing it to her lips. He saw that she was wearing the necklace that he had given her. "Let's get going."

Bonnie grabbed her purse and took Damon's hand and headed out with him.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

The ball was filled with men in tuxedos and suits and women in a variety of dresses and gowns. Damon and Bonnie had their arms looped together as he escorted her into the grand ball room. They talked and mingled with their friends and drunk the wine that had been provided by the ball. After a while Damon and Bonnie joined the couples who were dancing on the dance floor to the slow classic ball music. Damon held Bonnie close and they slowly twirled to the music together.

Jack danced with Caroline and Elena was dancing with Stefan. Although Elena still had feelings for Stefan and had a warm feeling of being in his arms her eyes kept drifting back to where Damon was dancing with Bonnie. They danced together as he held her close and they were looking into each others eyes as they did so. Elena couldn't stand the intense passion and emotion in Damon's eyes as he looked into Bonnie's eyes. Damon was looking at her like she was the only woman in the room. Elena had to turned her head away from the couple.

Elena wasn't the only one jealous. Klaus approached Jack and Caroline dancing.

"May I have this dance?" Klaus asked

Caroline lifted her head from Jack's chest. "No thank you." She told Klaus.

"Surely one dance wouldn't hurt." Klaus told her.

"Not interested." Caroline said just wanting to get back to her dance that she was enjoying with Jack.

Klaus frowned. "Funny it wasn't long ago that you didn't seem to mind my company, now you want nothing to do with me?"

Caroline shook her head. "Whatever we had is no more, I have moved on Klaus."

"Really you've moved on?" Klaus asked hurt mixing into his English accent.

"You heard her." Jack said "She's not interested."

Klaus shifted his eyes to Jack. "How dare you speak to me in that way boy do you know who I am?"

"I know who you are Klaus." Jack said "Now get lost."

Klaus grabbed Jack by his tie. "I could snapped you like a twig."

Jack had supernatural strength and therefore was stronger than the average man and much to Klaus surprise he shoved the original off of him. "Oh I'm so scared." He said with sarcasm.

The music stopped and people stopped dancing everyone turning their attention to the confrontation that Klaus had started.

Klaus hissed and took a threatening stop towards Jack.

Caroline raised her hand. "Klaus stop you can't hurt Jack without hurting me."

Klaus was hurt and heartbroken my Caroline's reaction and her rejection. "Just when I thought that you were different Caroline you're just like the rest."

Bonnie could see that Klaus was upsetting her friend and didn't like it. "Stop it Klaus you're causing a scene."

"Well if it isn't the judgmental Bonnie Bennett." Klaus said turning to face Bonnie.

"That's enough Klaus." Caroline said

Klaus was angry and hurt by Caroline and decided to take it out on Bonnie. "You always act like you're better than everyone else but you really aren't are you?"

Bonnie glared at Klaus. "What makes you think that I care what you think about me?"

Klaus stepped closer to Bonnie a cool smirk gracing his lips. "You do self fish shit like the rest of us don't you Bonnie like doing things behind your best friends back." He gestured over to where Elena stood with Stefan.

Bonnie grew uncomfortable.

"Watch it Klaus." Damon warned

"It's interesting that you're here with Bonnie Damon want to tell everyone why?" Klaus pushed.

"What are you doing?" Bonnie asked Klaus under his breath.

Klaus's smirk grew wider. "Exposing the truth my dear why don't you let Elena know what you been up to for these last months with Damon."

Damon took a protective stance next to Bonnie. "Shut the fuck up Klaus."

"What are you going to do about it if I don't?" Klaus egged on. "Are you ashamed of what you have been doing with Bonnie?"

"I'm not ashamed of anything." Damon answered honestly.

Klaus looked around as all eyes on the ball room were on them. He turned his attention back to the couple. "Then you have no shame in admitting to Elena that you've been fucking her best friend?"

Bonnie swallowed speechless that Klaus was exposing her to a whole room fill up people. Emotions started to raise in her.

Klaus grabbed Bonnie's arm. "Aw don't you have anything to say Bonnie?"

"Let go of me." Bonnie said yanking her arm away and giving Klaus a death glare.

Klaus leaned forward and whispered in Damon's ear for only Damon to hear. "Maybe when you're done with the Bennett witch you could give me a turn with her."

Damon saw red. He grabbed Klaus by his throat. "Touch her and I'll rip out your fucking throat."

Klaus chuckled. "Look at him go Elena is there question that he's screwing around with your 'loyal' friend? Heck I think he's even in love with her."

Damon growled.

Stefan came to pull Damon from Klaus.

Bonnie put her face in her hands.

Rebecca pulled Klaus back by his arm. "Let's go home brother."

Klaus gave Damon a wicked grin before letting Rebecca take him out of the room.

Damon watched Klaus go through angry icy eyes.

Elena walked up to an upset looking Bonnie. Even though she knew that they had been together for a while she saw this as her excuse and opening to confront the couple about the issue.

"Bonnie?" Elena questioned.

Bonnie looked at her with unshed tears in her green eyes. "Listen to me…."

Elena cut her off. "Tell me the truth are you sleeping around with Damon?"
