Bonnie and Damon meet in this chapter YAY!
When Bonnie and Stefan landed in Honolulu, a chauffeur-driver car, that her aunt Elisabeth had sent, was waiting for them.
Elisabeth Bennett Forbes was the incumbent Mayor of Honolulu and her duties were preventing her from properly welcoming her niece. Bonnie had told her over the phone that she didn't mind but Elisabeth had insisted to send someone to drive them to their hotel.
"So basically all your family from your father's side lives here. How come you never spend some time here?" Stefan asked Bonnie as they were both lying on the bed of their suite. Even if they were used to travel constantly all over the world, they were still tired by the ten hours flight.
"I used to spend all my summers here when I was a kid." Bonnie said furtively while scanning the ceiling, not really answering his question.
Looking at her, Stefan sensed that there was a story there, a sad one. Probably something to do with her father. He knew that it was a sensitive subject so he didn't insist. It's not like she couldn't talk to him whenever she needed to.
"Stef?" She called him after a few minutes of comfortable silence.
"Yeah?"
"Thank you for being here."
"Now where else would I be?" Stefan replied frowning as if she was nonsensical.
Of course he was by her side. He was always by her side.
In their superficial world, what they had was a rarity, almost an anomaly.
These two loved each other sincerely. Maybe there wasn't anything romantic or an ounce of attraction, but it wasn't a flash in the pan.
Stefan always used to joke saying that Bonnie was his soulmate but it was true, they didn't need to talk to understand each other and yet they could converse for hours.
Bonnie found comfort in the fact that if she never found her great love, at least there was a man in her life that she would never cease to love.
"You're right. I'm the one doing you a favor. If it wasn't for me, you'd probably be stuck with that nut job wife of yours trying to figure out who can take the toilet brush." Bonnie teased him.
"Wouldn't be a problem cos I'd gladly push it down her throat." Stefan replied sarcastically.
"Those anger issues again." Bonnie sighed. "It's like she's turning you into a total different person."
"I swear I'm trying to be a gentleman but she makes it so fucking hard you know." Stefan paused. "Last night she called me, I told her that she could have everything, the apartment, everything that is in it, the money, every single penny… I mean I don't even care anymore. But no! It's still not enough!" He threw his arms in the air frustratingly.
"She also wants the freaking cat!" Bonnie burst in laughter.
"God! My love life's pathetic." Stefan stated also laughing.
"Why? Did your boyfriend pulled a PR stunt behind your back?" Bonnie asked playfully.
"No but I'm pretty sure that being divorced at twenty two and the fact that my marriage that only lasted fifty four days because my wife cheated on me with my own father could get me elected president of the pathetic love lives club. Also Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries did better than us and that's really depressing."
"Alright you win." Bonnie gave up.
"Yay me!" Stefan exclaimed giving her a fake smile and a thumb-up.
Bonnie grabbed the remote control and turn the TV on. She channel-hopped until she found The Princess bride. She gave him a high-five, it was one of their favorite. They both could quote the entire movie. They watched it until they fell asleep eventually.
Bonnie was waiting for her aunt in front of the notary's office. She was getting impatient, it was 87° outside and she was starting to regret her Versace canary yellow leather dress. It might brought out her perfect light olive skin tone but it was sticky as hell.
She was already there for twenty minutes when her aunt finally arrived.
"Bonnie Dear. I'm sorry I'm late, I had a meeting." Her aunt greeted her, giving her a kiss on the cheek. "It's so good to see you." She added looking at her with more attention.
"Yeah. It's been a while." Bonnie said giving her trademark crooked smile.
"That smile…" Elisabeth trailed off. "It's insane how much you just look like him." She remarked smiling gently at her niece as she was remembering her big brother.
When her aunt had mentioned her father, Bonnie felt like a needle sting in her heart, a very tiny one. It went practically unnoticed but she knew that she'll feel it for the rest of the day.
"Yeah, I got that a lot." Bonnie replied managing to keep her smile. "I wanted to thank you for the driver. It was well appreciated Elisabeth." She quickly changed of subject.
"Really, it was nothing. And please call me Liz. You used to."
"Okay Liz." Bonnie simply replied.
"You and your friend should come tomorrow for diner."
"I don't know." Bonnie hesitated.
"I won't take no for an answer. Matt and Caroline would kill me. They want to see their famous cousin. Come on Bonnie, please!" Liz begged while they were coming in the office.
"I wouldn't want to be responsible of your death. We'll be there."
"Miss Bennett, Madam Mayor." The solicitor came to them and shook their hands as he guided them towards his office.
They were done barely an hour later. Bonnie said goodbye to her aunt and immediately called Stefan. She wouldn't admit it but she was kinda excited by the whole thing.
"Get your ass ready in ten minutes! I have something to show you." Bonnie hung up without letting Stefan say a single word.
Bonnie and Stefan got out of the little motor boat and the sea fisherman left. There was a sign with written Hale Ohia on it with a notice which indicated that it was full.
"Now could you tell me where the hell we are?" Stefan got impatient. They had left Honolulu about two hours ago and Bonnie didn't want to spill the beans.
"That's my inheritance." Bonnie replied with a huge grin.
"You mean this is yours?" Stefan asked turning around looking at the incredible view.
"The beach, the forest, the hotel… It's all mine." Bonnie answered as they were walking on the pontoon.
"That's unreal."
They headed for the hotel reception contemplating what was around them. It felt timeless and out of space. Something that they weren't accustomed to, as models they were used to the effervescence of the capitals.
Bonnie thought that these kind of places didn't exist anymore. She had seen a report on Discovery a couple of weeks ago and they were basically saying that humanity had fucked up really bad and was destroying all the coral reefs ecosystems.
But here they were, and all they could see was this pristine blue lagoon encompassed by this impressive coral reef and that breathtaking sugar white beach.
They arrived in the main entrance and Bonnie pressed on the reception bell. Nobody was in sight.
It was boiling hot inside, something was wrong with the air conditioning.
"Is anybody there?" Bonnie shouted pressing on the bell again.
"Seems unoccupied." Stefan reported. "Did I miss the part when we were relocated in the pit of hell?" He said grabbing a sheet of paper that was on the counter to use it as a fan.
"I wish I could take a good shower."
"Go! It's your place after all."
They went up the stairs and still, nobody in sight. There was not much to look at, except for the mess. It was also a little dusty.
"So are we staying here tonight?" Stefan asked.
"Why not? You said it yourself it's my place." Bonnie said coming in a room. She was set on taking a shower.
"I'm gonna see if I can find the kitchen." Stefan spoke and left her by herself.
Bonnie took off her clothes and went straight into the shower. She took the head shower and turn on the cold water. She stayed like this for five good minutes then took some shower gel, it wasn't her relaxing Lancôme foam bath but it would do the trick.
She was about to wash the soap off when she heard a scream.
"What the hell!" She quickly got out and put a towel around her petite frame when she came face to face with a complete stranger.
"Hey guys I've found another one!" Damon shouted grabbing Bonnie by her arm.
"I swear to god if you don't let go of me I'll cut off your fucking arm." Bonnie yelled, her face getting red.
"Hum feisty! I like that in a woman." Damon smirked as he sat her on the bed.
"Who the hell are you?!" Bonnie asked standing out but he pushed her immediately on the bed again.
"I'm the one who ask the questions here."
"Like hell you are!" She stood out again and he pushed her again.
"Didn't you and your boyfriend see the full notice on the pontoon?"
"He's not my boyfriend and there's no one there." Bonnie remarked. "I want a room." She commanded folding her arms.
"And I just told you that we were full."
"I want to see the manager."
"He's standing just in front of you."
"You gotta be kidding me." Bonnie laugh without humor.
"Alright Princess." Damon emphasized on the nickname. It sounded like an insult. "Pack your stuff you're l…"
"I'm your knew boss you dumbass." Bonnie finally cut him off, satisfied that she had wiped off the stupid smirk on his face.
Please review. I kinda need it. Well I really need it. My life depend on it^^. No seriously tell me your thoughts.
