Chapter 14
A few days later
Bonnie : Where are we going ?
Caroline : You'll see.
Bonnie : Mmmm...
Caroline : I'm not going to kill you or anything.
Bonnie : It's just we barely interacted before.
Caroline : And that's a shame. I mean you're seeing my bestfriend and you're having his child so I want to get to know you.
Bonnie : That's nice but it doesn't answer my question.
Caroline : All due in time. Come here.
They went in the back of a building and Caroline opened the door. They walked in and entered a small room filled with clothes.
Bonnie : Is it a backstage ?
Caroline : she smiled Yes.
The young woman remembered that Kai had a small show tonight but that didn't explain why she was here. Caroline grabbed a dress. It was dark blue, sparkly but not too much and it seemed knees-lenght.
Caroline : Put this on.
Bonnie : Why ?
Caroline : I'm not dancing tonight. You are. With Kai.
Bonnie : her eyes got wide In front of everyone ?!
Caroline : Yes.
Bonnie : But...but...
Caroline : He's waiting.
She had to think about it. She was scared but at the same time she wanted to shine in the spotlight. She nodded and smiled.
Caroline : I'll turn around while you change clothes she did so
Bonnie stripped down and put the dress on. There was a mirror and she looked at her reflection. The dress was flattering.
Caroline : Are you done yet ?
Bonnie : Yes.
Caroline : she turned around You look lovely. Kai picked it and he sure knows your body she winked
Bonnie's cheeks warmed up again.
Caroline : You should wear them she gave her a pair of earrings
It was long and sparkly. She put them on and Caroline handed her a red lipstick.
Bonnie applied some and pressed her lips together.
Caroline : You look so gorgeous. Now go she pointed at a door
Bonnie : O-ok.
Caroline : Break a leg.
She smiled weakly and pushed the door open.
Kai : And here she comes.
Bonnie : If I faint or throw up, it's all your fault.
Kai : he chuckled and grabbed her hand C'mon.
They went in a center of the stage. A lot of people were sitting in the room. They looked surprised that it wasn't the blonde Caroline with him.
Kai : he grabbed the mic Good evening, everyone. Tonight will be special because I'm going to dance with a new partner. The one and only Bonnie Bennett. She's my world and I hope you'll enjoy he smiled at her
The music started. It was 'Time of my life'. She smiled because she loved that song. He dipped her slowly and after that they started to dance in a perfect sync. Bonnie was glowing. She was sharing a beautiful moment with the man she loved. They barely noticed some people left too shocked and kinda angry. It was their moment and no one would ruin it. Caroline was looking at them from backstage.
Suzie : she came running Sorry, I'm late.
Caroline : Shhhh.
Suzie rolled her eyes and looked at Bonnie and Kai. They make a beautiful couple, she finally realized.
