Chapter 5 the Question
Bonnie's smile fades when they park at their next destination, which is in front of her house. She turns to Enzo confused. He smiles.
"This date isn't over yet, love."
He cuts off the engine getting out of his seatbelt. Bonnie does the same not sure what's going on. Enzo grabs the blanket and the basket. Then takes her hand in his they walk towards his house. Bonnie is in shock she's never been here. He lets go of her hand and opens the door. He opens it and she steps inside. The inside is way bigger than the outside. Venetian plaster walls and antique beams give this the sense of history that figures so prominently in elegant Southern style. Gracefully turned-wood furnishings including a fainting lounge join posh but soothing fabrics to increase the elegance. Full panels hang from ceiling to floor. But the palette of dreamy cream and taupe with accents of blue and chocolate ensures that all is easy on the eye, an imperative for true elegance.
"It's beautiful." Enzo shrugs.
"It's my mother's idea." Bonnie nods still in awe of how amazing his house is.
"If you think this is great wait to you see the pool." Enzo takes her hand leading her to his backyard which was just as big as his living room. Bonnie's eyes widen at the site. Jeez he better off than I had originally thought. Once they are in the back Bonnie looks in awe at the sight. "Okay, we seriously need to have a party back here." Enzo shakes his head with a chuckle. Removing his shirt, he jumps in his huge pool. Bonnie removes her top and shorts then jumps in as well. When she resurfaces Enzo pulls her close, looking into her eyes.
"What are you thinking, love?" Bonnie blinks shaking her head. "Sorry I just, had a lot on my mind." Enzo tilts her chin up to look into her eyes he smiles.
"No, I understand Bonnie, really, I do. Are you better now?" Bonnie nods and gives him a kiss on the cheek. Then she pulls away from him and swims away. She squeals when he pulls her under and then splashes him like crazy when they surface. Enzo chuckles the pushes her up against the side of the pool. Bonnie takes his face in her hands and kisses him. He wraps his arms around her waist pulling her closer. Bonnie sighs against his mouth wrapping her legs around his waist and rocking against him. Enzo gives a slight chuckle and moved to her neck leaving butterfly kisses in his wake. Bonnie closes her as her hands massage his scalp he pulls away after a while. They play Marco Polo and Bonnie knows for a fact that Enzo is cheating because he's always in a close proximity of her when she says 'Marco'. Not that she minds she enjoys having his arms wrapped around her.
It starts to get late and they get out and hour before the sunsets and dry off. Bonnie leans her head on his shoulder and his hand goes around her waist. They head inside once the sunsets. Enzo walks Bonnie to her door placing his hands back on her waist. Bonnie smiles as she looks at him.
"I had a really great time with you." Enzo smiles.
"As did I, and I would love to take you out again, if you'd let me."
Bonnie nods. She gives him a kiss on the cheek. "I'd like that."
He nods then pulls her close to give a goodnight kiss before releasing her and taking a step back.
"I'll see you Monday." Enzo nods, "I'll be here to pick you up."
Bonnie nods. "Goodnight, Enzo."
He smiles, "Goodnight, Bonnie."
He then turns and walks back to his house. Bonnie pulls her keys out and unlocks her door. She says hi to her mom and Jamie before going upstairs to take a shower. Once she's clean and in her tank and shorts she goes to bed.
On Monday Bonnie wakes up to her alarm sighs then gets up. It's the week of the Homecoming game and the dance. After her shower Bonnie gets dresses in her superhero costume. She grabs her bag and then heads downstairs. When she enters the kitchen, she sees her mom sitting down sipping her coffee as she reads the paper.
"Good morning, mom."
Abby smiles. "Good morning, Vixen." Bonnie blushes. (A/N: if you don't know who I mean watch the Justice League or Season 2 of DC's Legends of Tomorrow.)
Abby laughs. "Oh, Bonnie you look nice, and it's a nice change from all the Storm cosplay you normally do." At that Bonnie playfully rolls her eyes grabbing some cereal and milk. Her brother Jamie comes down soon after setting his stuff down and grabbing a bowl. He mumbles a good morning as he gets his cereal.
"What's wrong Jamie?" Bonnie asks.
"The kids in my class are picking on me, because my dad isn't around." Abby puts down her mug.
"Oh, sweetie of course, he's around." Jamie shakes his head.
"No, he's not! He doesn't care about me anymore, just his stupid job!" Bonnie's eyes widen she then looks at the time and gets up grabbing her backs she leans in close to her mom.
"I'll talk to him later. Bye Jamie." He waves not really listening.
Her mom nods and Bonnie leaves locking the door behind her. Enzo meets her half-way up her drive and gives her a hug then takes her bag. Bonnie straps in with a sigh. Enzo gets in and does the same they head off to school.
"Nice costume, love." Bonnie rolls her eyes.
"Thanks." Enzo turns into the school lot finding his parking spot. They walk inside and see Caroline dresses as Artemis with the bow and quiver. She turns around.
"Wow Bonnie, you look stunning. And it's nice to see you as someone other than Storm for a change." Bonnie shakes her head but smiles.
"And you look amazing, and it's also a nice change from you being Supergirl. But try not to shoot anyone if they try and take to you man." Caroline rolls her eyes. The bell sounds and it's off to class. Enzo and Bonnie walk to their English class and take their seats. Class soon starts and fifteen minutes later Rebekah and Valerie walk in. Mrs. Sommers takes their note and continues on with her lesson. When the class ends they pack up and head off to their next class. Enzo gives Bonnie a kiss on the cheek before going to his Physics class and she heads in her Trig.
Taking her seat next to Elena who's dressed up as Wonder woman she pulls out her notebook and homework.
"So, has Enzo asked you to homecoming yet?" Elena asks Bonnie shakes her head.
"No, but's it's only Monday he has time, and even if he doesn't ask I'm not worried." Elena looks at her skeptical.
"Why not, Bon?"
"Because why, should I be? It's just a dance." Elena shakes her head. Class starts and they turn in their work before starting the lecture. Once the class is over and they have their homework assignments they leave going their separate ways till lunch. Enzo waits for her outside and he takes her books and then wraps his arm around her waist as they walk to history.
Taking their seats, they pull out their notes and study for a bit before Mr. Saltzman comes in and they put their notes away ready to take the first test they have in the class. Bonnie's not worried about it since she does love history, but her brother was still on her mind. When everyone was finished with the test Mr. Saltzman gave them their homework and the assignment that they had recently turned in. No, surprise that Bonnie got her A+ and soon class was over and it was lunchtime. As she and Enzo walked towards the cafeteria he pulled her to the side gently.
"I want to have lunch with only you today, I have to talk to you." Bonnie nods they go inside grab some lunch and Enzo leads her to a table further away from everyone, but close enough to where she could spot her friends. They sit and eat in silence for a while and then Enzo looks over at her his expression serious.
"Enzo-" He holds up one hand to stop her then pulls out a guitar that Bonnie didn't even see there. He sings her and whiles she was mesmerized by his voice she did not notice their friends gather around, of the sign that Tyler and Stefan were holding.
"Bonnie Bennett will you go to homecoming dance with me?" Bonnie blushes she then sees the small banquet flowers in his hands purple lilies. Bonnie nods giving him a yes, as he gives her the flowers and a kiss. Their friends cheer and Bonnie hides her head in Enzo's shoulder he chuckles.
"It's alright, love." Then bell soon sounds and they go to their other classes, Bonnie feels as though she is walking on air for the rest of the day. When the last bell of the day chimes Bonnie and Enzo head to his car and they head home. Enzo pulls up to the side of her house and they get out. He wraps his arm around her waist turning her around to face him. He leans down and kisses her Bonnie sighs into the kiss threading her fingers in his hair. She pulls away with a smile and he gives her one in return.
"See, you tomorrow." He says then lets her go. Bonnie nods the smile not leaving her face as she walks up to her porch and unlocks the door. Once it's locked behind her she goes to her room only to find that her door is open, and when she enters she sees her little brother crying on her bed. She rushes over tossing her bag to the floor.
"Jamie, what happened?"
Hey guys it has been a while hasn't it? I'm going to be honest and say that between school and work I have not had the time to write much of anything, and on top of that I had some serious writers block for several of my stories. So, all I can say is that I will try my best to update as much as I can when I have the time. I also want to say thanks to those who are still reading it means so much to me. So let me know what you thought of this chapter and Bonnie and Enzo's relationship so far, and what do you think about Jamie's situation? I want to also say that their will be a time jump soon, not going to tell you when just yet. Until next time...
