Chapter Five
Bonnie was abruptly awakened by the sound of pots and pans being moved in the kitchen. "Damn it" said Bonnie to herself, "It's Saturday can't I have a little peace and quiet." Bonnie was exhausted due to her trying to ignore the Salvatore brothers the rest of the week. Straight after dance practice, she would either run home to avoid Stefan and Damon or stay after to school with a teacher knowing they would never approach her while she was being "tutored." Her plan was working well until on yesterday when she decided to eat lunch outside. Big mistake, there waiting for her were both brothers fighting over who was going to have lunch with her. Stefan had a picnic basket in hand while Damon had flowers hoping to take her to the grill.
As she made her way down the stairs two at a time, she kept on wondering what she should do. "Both brothers are amazing, how can I choose?"she said mentally. When she finally made it to the kitchen, boy was she surprised. Stefan and Damon Salvatore were both covered in flour and looked as if they were trying to make pancakes but it ended in a fight.
"Can I help you two?" asked Bonnie standing in front of them, arms crossed. Both boys turned around not sure on how to respond. But, Damon being Damon out on a smirk and said "Cute pj's Bennet." causing Bonnie to blush. Stefan went towards Bonnie and gave her a kiss on the check. "Good Morning love, I was trying to cook you breakfast in bed but someone decided to ruin it." nodding his head towards Damon. "Oh please, as if Bonnie wants some lame homemade breakfast. I simply came over to see if she wanted to go to the beach on this lovely day." He said walking around Stefan towards Bonnie. "What do you say sweetheart?" Damon asked and gave a wink.
Bonnie simply shook her head. "You boys simply won't leave me alone will you?" she asked both of them. Simultaneously both replied "No." Sighing Bonnie took a hard look at them. "Fine" she told Damon, "we can go to the beach but it should be a group thing." Damon returned her stare, "What do you mean?" he challenged. "I mean that Stefan should come too and Caro. and Aunt Jenna and Alaric." Before Damon could protest she rushed both boys out saying "Thank you Stefan for the pancakes, I'm sure there amazing. See you guys in an hour!" She quickly closed and locked the door. Grabbing her plate of food, i-phone and retreating upstairs she rang Caroline at home and Jenna who said she was heading over to Alaric's early this morning.
Caroline came over just as Bonnie finished packing her beach bag. "Tell me again why I'm going?" she said as she threw herself on Bonnie's bed. "You're coming because you're my best friend and you have to keep me from drooling at Damon & Stefan's bare chests." This caused Caroline to giggle and Bonnie to chuck a pillow at her face. Rising from the bed, Caroline went to Bonnie's drawers and said "Well if I must go, then were going to make it worthwhile." Bonnie didn't understand what she meant until she saw Caroline pick out a red bikini. "I can't wear that!" yelled Bonnie. "You can and you will." replied Caroline. Ignoring Bonnie's protests, she packed the red bikini. After twenty minutes of convincing Bonnie that it would be worth it, they arrived at the boarding house a bit early.
Before Bonnie could knock on the door, Caroline had already let herself in. "Caro you just can't do that" Bonnie said, "this is their house." "And their in love with MY best friend so I have dibs by default." replied Caroline. Simply shaking her head, Bonnie went upstairs to see if the boys were ready. "Hey Stefan, Damon." said Bonnie from the hallway "Me and Caro. will be downstairs waiting for you so come get us when your down." As she was about to retreat downstairs, when she heard two voices yell, "Wait, I'm ready." Giggling Bonnie turned around ready to crack a joke but turned stark quiet. There in front of her were both brothers in nothing but swim trunks, bare chested. Swaying a little bit, Bonnie held onto the staircase. "Are you alright?" both boys asked walking closer to her but she immediately regained composure. "I'm fine. Nothing wrong at all." she replied and quickly ran downstairs.
