61. Fairy Tale
I leant back on the couch and watched as Damon and Caroline were discussing the wedding with a red haired woman, who apparently was a wedding planer. Caroline was jumping up and down, a huge smile spread across her face, while the redhead kept nodding and writing things on the clipboard, she had in her hand. Damon wasn't jumping, but he seemed eager as he kept interrupting Caroline and added things to the already long list. Right now he was proposing white and red roses to decorate the altar and to place in the bride's hair and Caroline squealed happily.
"It's going to be a real fairy tale." She gushed and jumped again. "I am sure your wedding is going to be really wonderful, Mr. Salvatore." The red head added. "Of course it is, I am marrying a wonderful woman and so the wedding will be wonderful too." He stated and the wedding planer smiled at Caroline. "You are lucky to have such a dream of finance." Caroline looked at her shocked before she burst out laughing. "Me? Damon? Marrying?" The blonde vampire was gasping for air and I couldn't help but feel a smile creep up on my face.
Of course it must have seemed as if Caroline was marrying, considering that she was almost hyperventilating while they planned the wedding. "But then who is the soon-to-be Mrs. Salvatore?" "Me." I answered the confused woman and walked towards her. "Would you excuse Damon and me for a second please?" I didn't even wait for her answer, but pulled the vampire after me out of the room.
"What are you doing?" I asked as soon as I closed the kitchen door behind me. "I am planning our wedding?" Damon answered confused. "Damon you ordered a horse carriage and told Caroline to buy a dress with a veil and at least a 30 feet train, don't you think you may be exaggerating a tiny bit?" I was getting angry by the second, I mean come on. What is his problem? Why can't it be a simple wedding like anyone else? All that ruffles, glitter and flower power stuff annoyed the hell out of me and he planned my wedding with Caroline? Tell me one woman that wouldn't be annoyed.
"But…" Damon started. "What?" I snapped. "Bonnie, please. Let me explain." I looked at him, the ice blue eyes full of care and love and nodded. We may fight sometimes, but I am almost always unable to say no to him. "Yes?" My tone was annoyed and Damon flinched slightly. "I just wanted to make it perfect for you." "And you think it is perfect if you and Caroline plan my wedding?" I interrupted him. "Bonnie listen, I want to give you anything, really anything you ask for. And I know I can't." He looked dead serious and tears were glistering in his eyes. "I want to give you a normal and happy life, I want to give you children and I want to grow old with you. I want you to give you your perfect fairy tale. But I can't." I stepped closer to him, my anger disappearing as I watched the normally strong vampire. I caressed his cheek. "You wanted to turn the wedding into a fairy tale, because we can't live one together?" I asked touched. "Yes." He nodded. "Damon, I am having my fairy tale right now. I know it is common for girls, that we want to marry in a horse carriage and get at least five children, but I was never like this. What we have now is perfect to me; you don't need to be sorry because we can't have children or anything like that." I stated and smiled at him. "My fairy tale is perfect right now." I whispered, before kissing him.
My life wasn't your average fairy, but it was perfect the way it was, because my fairy tale was unique.
