Thank you so much for the reviews/alerts and favourites for this story. I got really positive feedback, which made me really happy. Thanks a lot.
Chapter 3 - Double Date
Bonnie knocked on the door of the Salvatore boarding house. Damon answered the door then smirked when he saw Bonnie.
"Hello girlfriend" he greeted.
"Just shut up and get dressed Damon"
"Aww you're playing rough. I like it"
"Will you just get dressed?"
"Why?" Damon asked, getting his jacket.
"We have a 'date' that's why. Caroline invited me to go to dinner with her at the Mystic Grille"
"Us" Damon corrected.
"What are you talking about?" Bonnie answered frustrated. She didn't want to do this, but apparently, Caroline had seen her and Damon 'kiss' and she was very eager to go on a double date, Bonnie had tried to refuse, but Caroline gave her no option.
"You said Caroline invited me. It should be Caroline invited us. Since we're an item now"
"We're not an item Damon. We're a faulty item. And you will be replaced as soon as possible" Bonnie said.
"Ah Bonnie. You're hurting my feelings" Damon mocked.
"Look, let me set you the rules now. You behave on your best behaviour over there. No kissing, that's the main rule. And this thing is over the moment Tyler asks me on a date. Got that?"
"What if he doesn't?" Damon asked.
"3 three weeks is the maximum we're doing this. If in 3 weeks he doesn't ask me on a date, we stop. Which ever one comes first. It doesn't matter. A date or 3 weeks"
"Ah. 3 weeks. I can endure it, I think"
"So you don't believe I can get a date?" Bonnie asked, narrowing her eyes.
"Nope. I don't. To be honest even with me, you cant win Tyler"
"But I thought you said we can. Then why are you doing this?"
"Just humouring myself. A little fun. Plus I said that when I didn't know how deep your affection for Tyler was. I mean even if you get to go on a date with him, it wont last long"
Bonnie crossed her arms. "And why is that?"
"Because you're too clingy Bonnie"
Bonnie scoffed. "Says the guy who chased the same woman for over a 145 years. I wonder who's more clingy Damon"
"If you want me to behave nice, you better stop bringing Katherine up"
"Hit a sour spot did I?" Bonnie mocked. "Come on. We're gonna be late"
Bonnie and Damon entered the Mystic Grille. Bonnie looked around to see if Caroline was already there. Soon, she spotted her sitting at the corner with Matt. She waved when Caroline saw her, and started walking. She felt Damon's hand entwining hers.
Bonnie looked at their hands and then to Damon.
"What is this?" she asked, raising their entwined hands.
Damon released and exaggerated sigh. "Bonnie you're either very, very clueless or very, very virgin. Which both adds up to the same thing I suppose. Look let me spell it out to you. Two people together, normally hold hands. They do other stuff too, but I can tell you that later. We don't have time" he said smirking.
"I know that" she hissed. Bonnie knew what couples did, she wasn't clueless. But it still surprised her when Damon did something couple-y. She never thought he was capable of that stuff.
"Bonnie!" Caroline squealed as Bonnie and Damon approached the table. "Sit here"
Bonnie and Damon sat opposite Matt and Caroline. Bonnie greeted and hugged Matt, and Damon shook his hands.
"Well Bonnie. You're quite the dark horse aren't you? I never knew about you and Damon" Caroline half joked, half accused.
Before Bonnie had the chance to answer, Damon interrupted. "Oh she is" he replied, smirking. "You don't know how she is. Especially in the bedroom" he whispered.
"Damon!" Bonnie scolded, not believing her ears.
"Oh My God!" Caroline squealed again. "Bonnie Bennett. You-you. I cant believe you-" but Caroline couldn't continue.
"No Caroline. Its not like that!" Bonnie tried to explain, and she elbowed Damon under the table as hard as she can. But instead of the pain reaction she was expecting Damon just smirked more and looked at Bonnie innocently.
"What?" he mouthed.
"You are dead!" Bonnie mouthed back. She groaned when Damon blew a kiss.
"Caroline. Really he's just joking. You know how Damon is" Bonnie tried explaining again.
"Bonnie you don't need to explain anything to us. Its your life" Matt tried to comfort Bonnie.
"Yes Bonnie. You don't need to. I'm with you no matter what you decide. I just wish you would've told me" Caroline said.
Bonnie was going redder by the second. From anger and humiliation. She sighed in defeat.
"How's Stefan and Elena?" Matt asked to change the subject.
Bonnie was glad for the change of subject. That was good, Stefan and Elena was a safe subject.
"They're good" Bonnie answered. "How's Tyler?" she asked and turned in time to see Damon rolling his eyes.
"He's good. Probably would drop by any minute" Matt answered her.
"Oh Damon, did you know that Bonnie had a thing for Tyler in the past?" Caroline asked excitedly.
"Caroline!" Bonnie warned.
"What? Didn't he know? Well she's totally over him now" Caroline corrected to Damon, not wanting to cause any trouble between the couple.
"Don't worry Caroline I knew. I know all about it. I must say I even felt jealous at one point. Silly I know" he said mocking himself. "But what can I do, I'm smitten with her" he said, lifting Bonnie's hand and kissing it lightly.
Bonnie tensed, but managed not to show any emotion on the outside.
"I'm just happy that she's over that silly childhood infatuation now" Damon continued.
Bonnie wanted to hit Damon again, but her attention was diverted when she saw Tyler enter the restaurant.
"Speak of the devil and he shall come" Caroline said, whilst Matt motioned him to join them.
Bonnie fixed her clothing and straightened her posture, taking a deep breath.
"Stop hyperventilating. Its insulting" she heard Damon whisper in her ear.
"I'm not hyperventilating!" she whispered back.
"Really? I wonder what they call it then?"
"I'm already angry with you Damon. Just shut up before I shut you up!" Bonnie hissed.
"How? Are you going to shut me up by kissing me? I don't mind" he said, smirking.
Bonnie could've answered him, but she decided to stay silent as Tyler came next to them. They all greeted Tyler one by one, and Tyler took a seat at the spare chair.
"So Bonnie, how are you doing?" Tyler asked, after asking Caroline and Matt.
"I'm good Tyler" she answered, and she looked at Damon questioningly when he put his arms on her shoulder and pulled her closer to him. But Damon just smiled lovingly.
"So I see your dating this guy?" he asked, pointing at Damon.
Bonnie didn't know whether to deny or accept it.
"This guy has a name. Damon Salvatore" Damon inserted, offering his hand to Tyler. Tyler took it and they shook hand.
"Nice to meet you Damon Salvatore" Tyler mocked.
But Damon just smirked. "Nice to meet you too…mutt"
Bonnie gasped. "Damon!"
But Damon just turned a furious glance at her. "What?"
"Would you step out with me for a second?" she asked, smiling at him sweetly.
Damon's smirk reappeared. "Cant wait till we get home?" he said wiggling his eyebrows and getting up from his seat.
"What the hell are you doing?" Bonnie shrieked, when they were outside.
"I'm doing what you asked me to do" Damon said.
"I didn't ask you to ruin my life Damon!" Bonnie said, furiously.
"You asked me to be your boyfriend" he said.
Bonnie huffed. "Is this how you are as a boyfriend? God! No wonder why you're single for over a century. No wonder no woman wants to be with you more than a night!"
"If you're trying to hurt me little witch. Let me tell you, its not working" Damon told Bonnie calmly, which only infuriated her more.
"You know what Damon, just go. I'm bailing out. I don't want this thing. I don't want it with you"
"What about Tyler?"
"I don't care. I don't want you near me"
"Bonnie I gave you my word. And I keep my word, no matter what. We're doing this thing. Whether you like it or not. 3 weeks or a date. I'm sure you can endure me for that time"
"That's the thing Damon. I'm not sure whether I can stand you for that time without setting on you fire"
"Ahh. Its all threats with you Bonnie, never any action"
"Fine, you asked for it" Bonnie said and concentrated on her powers but stopped immediately when Caroline came.
"Are you two ok out here?" she asked.
"Yep, just having a little heated make out session" Damon answered. He placed his arms on Bonnie's shoulder and walked back into the restaurant.
They sat back on to their seats, just as the food arrived.
Everyone went to eating their foods. Bonnie concentrated just as Damon reached over the table to get the salt. She concentrated hard on the little candle, just as his arm was over it. Bonnie smiled.
"Oh my God Damon! Your arm its burning!" Caroline shrieked.
Damon swore under his breath and panicked. Soon everyone was panicking and hitting Damon's arm, trying to put out the fire. Tyler accidentally reached out to his alcohol drink instead of the water and it only flamed the fire more.
Finally Bonnie took her water and poured it over Damon's arm, at the same time putting the fire out in her mind. She figured this much was enough for him.
"Are you ok honey?" she asked, smiling sweetly.
"Yes darling. It was only a little fire" Damon answered, glaring at Bonnie. He knew she started the fire, to give him a lesson.
But he would get his revenge, sooner or later.
A/N: I hope you enjoyed it.
