The Call

Bonnie POV

Last time on Love in the Time of Vampires:

"We were going to go have dinner at the Mystic Grill, would you like to join us?" asked my father.

"Sure." I replied. That word seemed to be the only one I could manage at the moment.

"Great, why don't you two get a head start? We'll meet you there." I heard the voice of my father speaking so I nodded and grabbed my keys. Heading outside, I got into my car while Luka got into the passenger seat.

"So, I'm Luka, but I guess you already know that." He started a conversation as I started the car. I smiled at him and said.

"I'm Bonnie, but I guess you already know that." I replied. He laughed, the sound making me chuckle as well. I guess today isn't that bad.

Love in the Time of Vampires

We got to the Grill in a timely fashion, meaning I wasn't late by how slow I drove. I'm usually such a slow driver because of what happened with Elena's parents. Ever since then, I've been taking my time driving places just to make sure I'm paying attention to the road and won't accidentally hit anyone or thing-

"Bonnie?" I was suddenly cut off from my thoughts by Luka. I blinked at him from across the table. He was seated in front of me in a chair across the table while his father sat next to him. My father sat on my side of the table as well, but the two men were deeply engrossed in some talk of business that they didn't even notice how quiet we were.

"Sorry, I was… distracted. What were you saying?" I asked him with a small smile. He pursed his lips at me but just as he was about to say something, the food came. The waiter, some guy I've never seen before, put a mushroom beef burger down in front of me and a hot dog with corn chilly down in front of my dad. I shook my head at his order.

"Dad, seriously? Corn Chilly? You know that gives you heartburn!" I scolded him like I would a child. Since he and mom got a divorce, he hasn't really paid attention to what he ate. That meant that I had to watch what he and I ate. I tried to get him to eat healthy food, but he usually just orders in Chinese food when I'm not looking.

"But I like Corn Chilly!" he protested. Rolling my eyes at his child-ness, I glanced in front of me. Luka was smiling wildly at me.

"What?" I asked him as he started digging into his food, which just happened to be a chicken sandwich.

"Hey! Don't laugh at me. At least your dad actually likes eating healthy; my dad will not touch the stuff to save his life!" and it was true! His Dad ordered a green salad with chicken. Luka chuckled a little more as our fathers laughed. Keep laughing, I thought to myself. When you're all in the hospital from heart attacks, don't come calling on me!

An hour later…

Luka and I were walking up the street, past the Mystic Grill, the Post office and other stories with McDonald's milkshakes in our hands. We were talking about different things. Our fathers were still at the Mystic Grill having tea or something like that.

"So, what's your favorite color?" he asked. I turned to him and then started laughing.

"Seriously? That's what you're asking me? What is this the reenactment of Twilight? I bet you expect me to say 'Jade, because it's the color of your eyes.'" Luka stopped walking and laughed. It seemed after two whole minutes that he couldn't stop laughing.

"Wow, you're funny. Yeah….no. I just wanted to know." He tried to explain something, but he didn't seem to be able to find the right words.

"Ok, well. I'd say…" suddenly, I thought of the color blue. Very light and bright blue. The color Damon's eyes were. They were so azure and bright. I thought I could get lost in them forever.

"Blue," I suddenly blurted out without thinking. Shit, what the heck did I just say?

"Cool, mine's red." I nodded giving him a small, nervous smile.

"Red's cool, I guess." I just said that to act like I was listening, which I totally wasn't. I was too busy being flabbergasted by what my brain just made me say, not to mention think about.

Suddenly, my phone started vibrating in my pocket. I pulled it out to see that I had a message from Elena.

Get over here… fast! You're not moving yet, are you? Move, move, move! – Elena XoXo

"All right already. I'm coming." I muttered as I flipped my phone shut and stuck it back in my pocket.

"Hey, is everything okay?" Luka's voice came from beside me. I looked up surprised. I kind of forgot he was there.

"Yeah, I just need to get to a friend's house. Some sort of drama unfolding, probably something about her boyfriend." I nodded as I relayed.

"Well, I hope they're all right." He said. I nodded with a smile as I started making my way back to my car. He followed me back.

"Look, I'm really sorry about all of this. How about I make it up to you… say tomorrow?" I asked him. I didn't want to lose him as a friend. Especially, since he just came to town.

"Sure." He agreed. "How about you call me when all the drama dies down?" he smiled; I noticed the very cute dimples on the sides of his cheeks. I grinned and nodded.

"See ya," I called as I drove out onto the street. I drove for about 10 minutes until I saw the big estate which was the Salvatore boarding house. This was about the 3rd or 4th time I've been here today alone. I was feeling rather irked by the whole ordeal. I sighed and got out of the car. Slamming the door shut, I walked up to the big front door.

"All right, I'm here. What's so important that I had to be here in 2 seconds flat?" I called out as I closed the front door.

"Well, well, well, look who's here." A voice came drifting in from behind me. I turned around quickly and glared at the dark haired man leaning on the wall opposite from where I was standing.

"Where's Elena?" I asked him, annoyed. I didn't want to waste my time on the annoying chit chat.

"In her house I would presume. Last time I checked, she didn't live here… yet." He smiled, and I ashamedly admit, my knees wobbled at how intense and cute the smile was.

"What?" I said quite lamely.

"Elena, you know; my brother's girlfriend. She's not here." He told me. I just started at him and then at his lips. They were so perfect. I wondered how they would feel if they were on my lips. I gave myself a mental slap and then kick. What the hell was wrong with me? Fantasizing about him kissing me? He's a vampire for crying out loud. He probably only wants to kill me and suck my blood.

"Well, thanks. I must have gotten the wrong house." I mentally and physically shook my head as I walked away. I was so fazed that I didn't seem to realize the fact that Elena's phone was laying on the table a little ways from where Damon stood.

"Wait." I heard him say. I turned around rather sluggish as my brain took in what I saw. Damon running very fast was suddenly standing right in front of me. Any rational thought was thrown out of my mind.

"Don't go." I heard him say as he took my hand. He took it up to his face and sniffed it. His face erupted in to a series of fangs and huge veins as he brought my wrist closer to his mouth. I was too absorbed into what he was doing to move. Suddenly, I was rather roughly ripped away from Damon by Zack. The minute I was ripped away from him, all rational thought came rushing back to my brain. Then, it hit me; he was using mind control over me. I longed then to smack him right across the face.

Zack was glaring at Damon as he stood between us, but Damon didn't seem to notice. He was standing there smirking at me as if what he just did was something to be happy about. My face was consorted in a furry of anger and I lunged to smack him, but Zack held me back.

"Don't; he's not worth it." He tried to calm me down, but to no avail. I wanted to hit him! I lunged again, but Zack was still holding me back. Damon was standing where he was with the same smirk on his face.

"Well, that proves it." He said as he turned around and walked to the table. He picked up Elena's phone and handed it to me. I ripped it from his hand with a steady glare.

"That proves what?" I spat at him.

"That you like me. You would never have allowed me to get that close to you if you didn't at least like me bit." He explained, lounging back on one of the couches. The statement made me see red.

"I like you? I do NOT like you. The only reason you were able to get that close to me was because you were compelling me!" I was shaking with anger by then, but I did my best not to go over to him and smack him with my shoe. I turned abruptly around and left the house, slamming the door behind him. I couldn't believe what just happened! I mean, I summon his ass all the way to Mystic Falls just so he could try to drink my blood? I was right the first time; summoning Damon Salvatore to Mystic Falls was a bad idea.

Getting in to my car, I drove off in the direction of home. I didn't want to see or talk to anyone right now. I just needed to be alone.

Hey Guys,

I'm really sorry about the lack of updates, but I was swamped with work and tests. Also, in case you weren't aware, Egypt was in a state of lock down because of the major protests. Internet was cut off for a while so even though I had already written the chapter, I was unable to post it. I am also very sorry in advance in case I'm not able to update for some time. I will try my best to update as long as there is internet, but if they block it again, I'm really sorry. Egypt since Friday the 28th of January has been going crazy. Schools were shut down in the middle of finals and mobile and internet services were cut. So again, I'm sorry if they cut the internet again and I am unable to update. Other than that, please leave a review.
