Chapter 8 Decisions

Bonnie does not leave her apartment for the rest of the weekend. She does not turn on her phone, okay that's was a lie, she had it on because she knew her two best friends would call her to make sure that she's eating and bathing herself. It's Sunday afternoon Bonnie is currently sitting on her couch with a bag of potato chips flipping through the channels trying to find something to watch. She sighs and turns it off taking her chip bag upstairs with her to her room.

She picks a random movies and puts it on then she hears her doorbell ring. She sighs again getting up and goes to answer it. "Are you Miss Bonnie Bennett?" She nods. The man smiles and hands her the gift. "Do I have to sign anything?" He shakes his head. "Have a splendid rest of your day!" Bonnie raises a brow then nods and closes her door. Odd they don't usually deliver on Sunday's. She shakes her head sand takes the box upstairs.

Bonnie shakes it its light so she opens it a pair of silver open toed heels and a purple and blue strapless sundress stares back at her. Does he really think he can just buy my affections? She shakes her head and places the box near her door. She gets back on her bed and finishes watching the movie. Once that's over she decides to take a shower she moans once the warm water hits her skin. Then she grabs a pair of black shorts and a gray t-shirt then she goes downstairs and makes something to eat.

Elena and Caroline come by not long after, "I told you she would be fine Care, she just need some space." Bonnie gives a small smile. Caroline shakes her head. "It doesn't matter we have to be here just in case." Elena sighs. "Again standing right here." Bonnie says as she puts the finishing touches on her turkey and roast beef sandwich. "So has anything happened since we last saw you?" Caroline asks as she sits on the couch.

"Other than Lorenzo sending me some nice dress and shoes, no not much." Bonnie says sarcastically. "What?" Caroline says she gets off the couch and races upstairs she comes down with the box a few seconds later. "Bonnie give me his number." Elena steps in front of her. "Caroline no, you overreacting." Caroline stares at her wide eyed. "Elena the guy is clearly trying to buy her affections!" Elena shakes her head. "Or he could be trying to say that he's sorry, but thinks that's how."

"What do you think Bonnie?" Caroline asks. "I think I want to finish this sandwich then get a drink." Bonnie says without even looking at them. "Bonnie." Caroline says. "Fine, I don't know what to feel right now I just know that I can't blame Ashley, I mean she is just a toddler." Elena nods, "I don't think her Dad's to blame either, I mean he came over-" She got cut off by Caroline. "To make things worse." Bonnie shook her head ash she stood up, "No Care, you were about to start something."

She goes to the kitchen and pours herself a glass of champagne then joins them on the couch. "Elena is right, I can't blame him. I overreacted we were pretending and I just took it the wrong way." Caroline rolls her eyes. "Well then, Bonnie you have some making up to do. And were going to help." Elena says Caroline looks at her brow up. "We are?" Elena nods then she turns to Bonnie. "After our workout in the morning were going to his law firm. And Bon, you may want to bring that dress."

Bonnie nods. "Alright then I'll see you both tomorrow at the gym, now get out." Elena and Caroline laugh. "Bye Bonnie." She shakes her head and heads upstairs she looks at her clock then changes into some pajamas she goes to sleep.

The Next Morning...

Bonnie wake up and grabs her bag once she looks herself over in her mirror. She has her hair in a messy bun she has on a blue tank top with grey short and blues tennis shoes. She nods at herself then she grabs her keys. She meets Caroline and Elena at the gym at their usual time. "Good morning Bon." She smiles and says. "Hey guys." They go to the treadmills. "You brought the outfit right?" Elena asks. Bonnie nods. "Yeah it's in my car after we finish up I'll use their showers and then we can go."

"Do you know what your going to say to him?" Caroline asks. "Other then, I'm a idiot for taking it so seriously. No I got nothing." Bonnie says. Elena laughs, "Well, it shouldn't sound rehearsed that's for sure." Caroline nods. "Yeah then it would sound like you don't actually mean it." Bonnie nods they finish their workout then Bonnie grabs the outfit that Lorenzo got her and heads to the gyms showers once she finishes that she take her brush out of her bag her hair is just in natural waves.

"Bonnie he's going to die when he sees you." Caroline says clapping her hands excited likely. "So which firm does he work at?" Elena asked when they got to their cars. "Lipcon, Margulies, Alsina & Winkleman, P.A. It's one of the best places in Miami to get your case done right." Elena and Caroline smirk at her. "What? I do my research." Bonnie shrugs then she gets in her car. They drive to the Law Firm and go inside.

"Hello ladies and welcome to our law firm, do you have an appointment?" The blonde woman at the front desk said. Bonnie shakes her head, "No, but I was given a card by Lorenzo St. John he said I could stop by anytime." The lady nods, "So you think we just let anybody in here?" Elena glares at her. "For a law firm with five stars you've got a lot of attitude." The blonde rolls her eyes. "Please did your mother-." She cut off by a firm voice. "Lexi that is not how we treat people."

Bonnie looks past her and sees Enzo in a grey suit that fits him perfectly. "Well that's our cue to go, bye Bonnie." Caroline grabs Elena's arm and they leave. "What can I do for you Miss Bennett?" Lorenzo asks once they are in his office. "I came to apologize, I overreacted last weekend." Enzo shakes his head then sits on the front of his desk. "No, Bonnie you did nothing wrong, if anything I should be the one apologizing." Bonnie raises a brow.

"I was rushing our relationship, love. I wanted you to meet my daughter, before you knew about me." He stands and takes her hands in his. "Can you forgive me?" She smiles looking into his brown eyes. "Yes, but only if we go forward from here. Because I like you a lot." Lorenzo smirks then wraps his arms around her waist. "Deal." He kisses her softly before it turns into something more, how's that for moving forward?
