Chapter 7 Girl Power!
Once Bonnie is safely back in her apartment she gets her phone out and calls her two best friends. A few minutes later they arrive. "We come bearing ice cream." Caroline says then she and Elena come in. "Bonnie what happened?" Elena asks. Caroline goes to the kitchen to get some bowls and spoons out. "I met Ashley." Bonnie says as she sits on her couch. Elena smiles. "So how is she? Cute? Full of energy? Happy?" Bonnie nods, "She's all of those things, but I think she's under the impression that I'm going to be her new mom."
Caroline sets the tray of ice cream on the coffee table they all grab a bowl. "Wait, what? The two year old said that, when?" Caroline asks. "Well, we were playing dress up then she wanted to play a game. 'Where's the King?' So I played along thinking nothing of it until Enzo came in and Ashley said he was the King, and he asked, 'So where is my Queen?' Ashley pointed to me. I was and still am in shock. He kissed my hand and pulled me into his embrace. He asked 'So what are we supposed to do now?' Ashley smiled saying live happily ever after." Elena's jaw dropped.
"So what did Enzo do?" Elena asked. "I don't know I didn't stay long enough to find out." Caroline puts her bowl down. "See, Bon this is why I think you should take things slower with this guy. I mean yeah he's everything you wanted and more, but Bonnie he's not running things, his daughter is." Bonnie sighs. "I don't think so, I think that when it comes to playing with her she just takes over." Caroline shakes her head taking her bowl back to the kitchen. Knock! Knock!
Elena gets up to answer the door. Bonnie knows it's him but does not acknowledge his presence, Elena does. "Enzo what are you doing here?" He sighs. "Bonnie left her bag at my house, I just thought she would want it back." Caroline storms into the living room. "What is he doing here? Does he not know what he put Bonnie through?!" Elena puts Bonnie's bag on the floor next to her. "Caroline seriously you need to stop attacking him." Caroline jaw drops.
"Elena his daughter is under the impression that Bonnie is going to be her new mother!" She looks at Enzo. "Did you plan this? Without giving Bonnie a say so?" Bonnie gets up and takes her bag. "Caroline just stop alright? Lorenzo since you feel the need to talk come upstairs." She says without looking at him. Once she's in her room she waits her back to the door. "Bonnie, love I'm sorry for how Ashley acted. This was never my intention." Bonnie nods, waiting for him to continue.
"I like you a lot, actually, but I don't want to rush into a relationship with you." He places his hands on her shoulders. "Bonnie I-" She turns around. "Look Enzo I really like you to, but I think you need to explain to Ashley that life does not work like that." She removes his hands from her shoulders. "And I shall, but I don't want this to be the end of what we have. I'm sure you felt it to that night we met." Bonnie nods, but says nothing.
Bonnie sighs and finally looks up at him. "Enzo, I think for now we should take a break." Lorenzo has pain and hurt written all over his face. "If that is what you want." He nods heading out of her room and back down the stairs. Bonnie does not leave her room but she hears Elena say. "Don't give up in her, she just needs some time." Lorenzo chuckles a little. "I don't plan on giving up on her." There is silence once he leaves. Bonnie sighs and goes to lie on her bed. "Bon, are you okay?" Elena asks when she come in.
Bonnie shrugs. "Caroline we need more ice cream stat!" She hears movement downstairs. "I'm on it." Bonnie smiles. I have the two greatest friends on the planet! Caroline come upstairs to her room with a tray and three bowls of ice cream. "Thanks you guys, but you don't have to stay." Elena and Caroline exchange glances before smiling, "Bonnie, honestly where else would we be?" Bonnie says nothing. "Let's watch a movie, we need to help her take her mind off him."
Bonnie sighs. "I'm right next you, don't have talk about me in the third person." Elena shakes her head and gets up and goes through her movies. "Despicable Me 1&2?" Bonnie nods Caroline shakes her head. "Fine let's watch them, but were going to need popcorn." Elena gets up. "I'll get it, start it without me." She gets her bowl and goes downstairs. "Bonnie." Caroline starts. "Not tonight Care, I just really want to end this Friday night on a happy note."
Bonnie puts her bowl on her nightstand She wraps her blanket around herself. Caroline sighs. "Alright, I won't say anything more about it, but tomorrow we are going to have a serious talk." She gets up and puts Despicable Me in and sits back on the bed. Bonnie can smell the popcorn before Elena is back in her room. She has a huge bowl in her hand she place it in the middle of the bed. "You guys are the best." Bonnie says with a smiles. "We know." Bonnie rolls her eyes.
They watch both movies Bonnie put the huge bowl on the floor then she looks at her two best friends who are sound asleep. "Yeah, I definitely am a lucky girl to have to such amazing friends." She hears them snicker. "Aw Bon." Bonnie hits them both with pillows they have an epic pillow fight. Then they go to sleep with smiles on their faces.
