119. Autumn
Damon sat on a rocking chair on the veranda of the boarding house as he watched Elena, Caroline and Bonnie. They were having a playful fight and throwing the leaves that were scattered all around the garden at each other. Stefan and Tyler were leaning against a tree and watching them too. Everybody was happy and having fun, but he not.
Damon hated autumn. He couldn't stand it. The season was really annoying and he hated to watch how all life was drained out of nature during these weeks. He hated it, because anything bad that had ever happened to him had been in autumn.
His little sister had died in autumn, and exactly one year later his mother died. It had been autumn when Katherine appeared in his life and when he was turned. It had been autumn when he and Stefan parted ways for so long. It had been autumn when Katherine came back. It had been autumn when Klaus and Elijah stepped into their lives. And it had been autumn when both of the girls he loved him that it would always be Stefan. It had always been autumn.
He snapped out of his thoughts when suddenly Bonnie stood in front of him. She smirked at him. "There's something I've wanted to do for quite a long time now." She trailed off and stepped towards him, their noses almost touching. And then she closed the distance between them and kissed him. Her lips fit perfectly onto his and electricity seemed to shoot through his body. A shiver run down his spine and he pulled her closer until she was sitting on his lap. His hands curled up in her hair, pressing her head against his and he felt hers play with the hair at his neck. He deepened the kiss and when she opened her mouth, his tongue started to play with hers.
When they finally pulled apart, she was breathing heavily. Her hair was a mess, but to him, she had never looked more beautiful than now with the large smile on her face and the leaves in her hair. "I kind of like you." She admitted quietly and he smiled at her. "I like you too." And then he pulled her back to him and kissed her again.
And while their tongues were fighting a single thought appeared in his head.
Maybe autumn wasn't too bad.
Shout-Outs to the non-account-reviewers:
Vie (Chapter 9 & 10): Thanks a lot for the reviews. Yes, I also love his eyes. The color is really amazing. I understand that if your main ships aren't on the site you don't want to create an account. It's a shame never the less ;) But to be honest, I don't even know those two shows, they don't air in Germany. Well, keep reviewing, it means a lot.
