I don't own anything
Chapter 10, Bonnie's POV, Me and Jeremy had been hanging out a lot lately. A Lot, it was nice, I had known and grown up with Jeremy. He was about two years younger than me but was intellectually very mature. I liked that about him, he also cared a lot for me. I cared for him too. We had decided to take things slow. But I knew I was ready for the next step. It was the right thing to do.
I thought as I stepped into the Mystic Grill. I was meeting Jeremy at 2. I glanced at my clock, 1:15 pm. Oh well.
"Excuse me!" A man said as he bumped passed me and I felt a sudden rush, the same rush I had felt when Lucy... Oh shit.
"Uh..." I said not sure what to say, I turned to face the guy and saw that he was a tall, bald and handsome man, and apparently he was a witch.
"Hi I'm Luka Martin. This is my father, Martin." He said pointing to a man on the table.
"Hi I'm Bonnie Bennet. Nice to meet you." I said,
"A Bennet, as in Salem?" The man asked and I hesitated, I mean I wasn't that open about my past but maybe these were the witches Elijah was talking about,
"Yes." I said and Luka's father smiled,
"Well it was nice meeting you guys." I said,
"Yes it was Miss Bennet." Mr. Smith said and I walked away,
"Bonnie." Luka said and I turned around to see him there,
"Yes?" I asked still a little dumbfounded, I mean he was very good looking.
"I'm sorry about my fathers... bluntness. He thinks that all us... people are family." He said,
"So your a witch too?" I asked,
"We'd prefer if you said warlocks. Witches sound a little... effeminate." He said and I smiled,
"So how do you handle it?" I asked motioning him to sit down.
"Well, my dad told me at a very young age and I practice a lot. A lot! What about you Miss Bennet?" He asked,
"Please, its Bonnie. Well my grams was a witch. She always told me that I was one. I just thought she was drunk. And in my defense she always was. My dad really banned talking about this and my mom and dad had divorced. Then certain things came up and I believed my grams." I said a little sad when thinking about grams, my only support.
"Hey I'm sorry." Luka said and I smiled,
"Its okay. But sometimes, without her, it gets very hard. Some spells give me..." I said deliberately trailing off as saying nosebleeds was embarrassing,
"Let me guess, nosebleeds and dizziness." He said,
"Yes. You get that too?" I said amazed,
"Of course Bonnie, I do practice but that comes with age." He said,
"Well its nice to know I'm not the only one." I said,
"Not by a long shot. You know if you want I mean if your comfortable we could practice. A witch and a warlock practicing together enhances their strength." He said,
"I'd like that." I said.
"So you're new here?" I asked,
"Yes my dad and I moved from New Orleans. He's a doctor and he's got his practice setup here so we moved. Its our first day here." He said,
"Big change huh? Hows the first day going?" I asked,
"It was going like a bore but I'm feeling really good now." He said and winked and I laughed. He was so cute. Luca smiled brightly making my heart flutter, No! Jeremy was your guy Bonnie get a grip.
"Yeah, I just creeped you out. I shouldn't have said that." Luka rambled,
"Um... Pardon?" I said,
"I asked you for our number, but then you just zoned out and I think now you think I'm a creepy guy but I'm not." He said and after a few seconds we both laughed,
"Here's my number." I said scribbling my number on a pen and paper I took out, We just sat there looking at each other when,
"Hey Bonnie!" I heard Jeremy's voice and I tore my gaze away from Luca. A feeling inside me knew that Jeremy wasn't angry, he was hurt. But what did I do?
Jeremy's POV, I was meeting Bonnie today at the grill. We had agreed to take things slow, and I was okay with it. I mean I like Bonnie, a lot. And I knew that I could fall for her very easily if that hadn't already happened.
I reached the bar at 1:45 and scanned around to see Bonnie sitting there with a man, a tall, dark and handsome guy and yes it made me angry... and then hurt. I stood there like an idiot seeing her laugh with him and then give her number to him? What the fuck? Bonnie couldn't... Could she? I saw the way they looked at each other,
"Hey Bonnie!" I heard a voice say before recognizing that it was my own, I saw her look away, no tear away from the guy and look at me startled. Yes that definitely hurt.
"Jeremy... Hi." She said quickly and I knew she sensed my jealousy,
"This is Luka Martin. He's new here, Luka this is my friend Jeremy." She said, friend? Well okay we weren't on that road yet but... whatever.
"Hello." I said a little teeny tiny bit coldly making sure Bonnie knew I was pissed,
"Hey Jeremy nice to meet you. Well it was nice talking to you Bonnie, nice meeting you Jeremy. I have to go." He said,
"Bye." Bonnie said,
"Have a nice day." I said and he walked away.
"Okay look I know that you saw us, but Jer its not like that." She said,
"Its never like that Bon, you wanted to take it slow. Fine no problem, but that doesn't mean that you let someone flirt with you." I said,
"I wasn't flirting with him, He's a witch... a warlock, And I think he might be Elijah's witch." She said,
"Even so Bon, can you blame me for being at least a little jealous. I mean that guy is good looking, plus he's a witch and he can talk about mumbo jumbo and I don't know but I really like you Bonnie and I'm not gonna let some... warlock take you away from me." I said honestly to Bonnie,
"I like you too. And the reason I asked to meet you was because I wanted to tell you that I cant really take things slow, I wanna date you. Kiss you. I don't know... flirt with you at night." She said and I smiled, we stood there a second before I reached forward to kiss her, she didn't react badly or step away so I inched closer finally making contact with her lips. I felt her tense up but she relaxed into it and kissed me back.
Stefan's POV, Okay I have to admit, I was a little jealous of Damon's cooking skills. He had taken that from out mother, she was a great cook. But she scarcely cooked, My father Giuseppe, wouldn't stand it if a woman would cook and not the maid but we would savor the moments she cooked.
I reached Caroline's house in a few minutes, before ringing the bell I heard my phone ring,
"Hello?" I said,
"Hey Stefan. Its Katherine." Katherine said,
"Heyy." I said,
"Meet me tonight at the cottage behind your house. We'll have fun. Oh and bring food." She said,
"Blood or food?" I asked,
"I have blood, I've got bambi blood, bug blood, the real deal. You bring the food. Oh and chocolate and whipped cream is a must." She said and I smiled,
"Sure thing." I said and closed the phone. I knocked on the door twice before Caroline answered,
"Hey." I asked and she smiled,
"Hey Stef." She said,
"Can I come in?" I said and she nodded, we made our way to the living room and sat down.
"Tyler I'll call you back." She said and dropped the phone in her bag.
Caroline offered me a bag of chips and I politely declined,
"Its such a good thing vampires don't get fat." She said munching on some Pringles and I laughed,
"Care, on a serious note I'd like you to tell me everything that happened with Tyler." I said,
"Well, we talked, I didn't tell Tyler 'bout you guys. Before the full moon approached we found out about Mason's journal and vlog of his transitions. Tyler was very scared so I stayed with him and he's recovering. But I think there'll be a problem. He says that he thinks Mason is in a bad state and he's getting curious. Plus I like him and I want to explain things to him. Everything Stefan, including Elijah. 'Cause if the deal thing fails than Tyler's in it big time, I'm talking loads of trouble." She said and I listened knowing what she was saying was true,
"How about this, you tell Tyler that he should come to the boarding house tomorrow night, we'll call Alaric, Jer, Bonnie and Damon and Elena as well as myself and explain things to him." I said,
"Okay... So Stefan how are things between you and Elena?" She asked after a slight hesitation,
"We're friends." I stated,
"And you and Katherine?" She said,
"Are together. What about you and Tyler? And what about Matt?" I asked trying to steer the subject away from me,
"Well see, Matt and I are like over. I can't harm him and I know I will at some point. With Tyler its different, I don't have to pretend that I'm someone I'm not. I like that." She said and I smiled,
"Well then Caroline I wish you the best. I have to go... shop." I said and she laughed.
"Bye bye." She said as I went away.
Tyler's POV,"Hey Stef." I heard Caroline say,
"Tyler, I'll call you back." She said,
"Okay, bye." I said but I noticed she hadn't clicked her phone shut, my curiosity got the best of me and I listened in on the conversation.
"Its such a good thing vampires don't get fat." She said munching on some Pringles and Stefan laughed,
"Care, on a serious note I'd like you to tell me everything that happened with Tyler." I heard Stefan say,
"Well, we talked, I didn't tell Tyler 'bout you guys. Before the full moon approached we found out about Mason's journal and vlog of his transitions. Tyler was very scared so I stayed with him and he's recovering. But I think there'll be a problem. He says that he thinks Mason is in a bad state and he's getting curious. Plus I like him and I want to explain things to him. Everything Stefan, including Elijah. 'Cause if the deal thing fails than Tyler's in it big time, I'm talking loads of trouble." Caroline said, What did she mean? I was tempted to ask her but I decided to wait patiently. She wanted to tell me.
"How about this, you tell Tyler that he should come to the boarding house tomorrow night, we'll call Alaric, Jer, Bonnie and Damon and Elena as well as myself and explain things to him." Stefan said and I relaxed. I'd know tomorrow.
"Okay... So Stefan how are things between you and Elena?" Caroline asked. Katherine who?
"We're friends." Stefan said. Liar, what he meant was that he'd probably cheated on Elena and Elena being the 'nice' person she is had forgiven the wuss.
"And you and Katherine?" Care said,
"Are together. What about you and Tyler? And what about Matt?"He asked and I felt my heart rate quicken.
"Well see, Matt and I are like over. I can't harm him and I know I will at some point. With Tyler its different, I don't have to pretend that I'm someone I'm not. I like that." She said and I smiled. I felt the same about her. So I clicked the phone shut. -
