Chapter 6 - Its Different

Bonnie gave a final look at the mirror. She decided she was happy with her look and with a last touch of lip gloss, she left the room and descended the stairs waiting for the arrival of Damon.

It was the school dance today and she was excited. She wanted to look her best and she wore a black/red dress with a hint of cleavage. She had styled her hair in loose waves and clipped it to the side, her hair flowing on her shoulder and back. She hoped that it gave her an exotic look. Tonight could be the night that she'd caught Tyler's attention. She just wished Damon wouldn't be late, and knowing him he could be late on purpose.

Just that moment the door bell rang and Bonnie sighed in relief and went to open it. When she opened the door, the sight in front of her stole her breath away. Damon was wearing a white shirt, and a black trousers, simple maybe but he looked so good. The sunlight emphasizing the beauty of his blue eyes. They stood there staring at each other for a moment, both not saying a word.

"Whoah you look…. Ok" Damon finally said, entering the house.

"Whoah you look ok?" Bonnie asked, slightly disappointed, though why she had no idea. "I don't look good? You start with whoah then finish with ok?" she asked.

Damon sighed dramatically, "You're not gonna get anything more from me Bonnie. I said you look ok, take it as a compliment"

"Oh thanks! You cant believe how privileged I feel" Bonnie hit back sarcastically.

"You're welcome"

"What's up with you anyway?" Bonnie asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Well you're down dressed. it's a school dance Damon, not a bar"

"Exactly Bonnie, it's a school dance, for kids" he pointed out.

"But you're going as my date and you should look good"

"I look good in anything" Damon said smirking.

"Oh Please. Not today Damon. Anyway we're getting late, I suppose you're just going to have to go like this" she said and leaded him out. She was not going to admit that he did in fact looked good in anything.

"See! You could've learn from Stefan. He's wearing a suit" Bonnie said as they entered the dance hall, and saw Stefan and Elena at the corner dancing already.

"Oh Please. Stefan overdoes everything, even dressing. He has to be the centre of attention"

"Sounds like someone I know" Bonnie remarked with a sly smile.

"You think I have to be the centre of attention? That I want that?" Damon asked disbelievingly.

Bonnie cocked her head. "Hmm let me think…Yeah, you do. I mean you're the only guy here who is not wearing a suit, and has the top buttons of his shirt unbuttoned"

Damon chuckled then smirked. "I see. You're distracted by the view, that's why you want me to cover up. Afraid you're gonna lust after me?"

"No. I'm not distracted by the view. I was just pointing it out" Bonnie defended herself.

"I believe you" Damon dismissed, smirk firmly in place.

"Wow Bonnie. You look stunning" They heard Tyler say as he came next to them.

"Tyler! Thank you. You look good too" Bonnie said. This was good, Tyler had liked her.

"Thank you" he said taking her hand and kissing it. A giggle escaped from her at the gesture and Damon rolled his eyes. "Damon. How are you?" Tyler asked.

"Good. How's the lovely Bimoe? Is she here?" he asked.

"I believe she's good. We broke up" Tyler announced.

"Oh, good. I mean I'm sorry" Bonnie said, trying to hide her happiness.

"No worries. Life goes on. Anyway, see you two later. Bonnie again, you look stunning" he said and left.

"See that is how a compliment is made Damon. Not 'you look ok'"

"He's trying to get into your pants, it's the only reason he's doing it" Damon said taking a gulp of his drink.

Bonnie face brightened at that. "Really? I mean its not what I want yet, but it's a step right?"

"You cant be serious! Look, even if he does manage to get you into bed, it'll only be for rebound from the bimbo, don't read too much into it. It wont be real"

"Why do have to do that Damon! Why do you have to burst my bubble?" Bonnie pouted.

"Because you need some reality into that brain of yours"

"I am in reality. This is reality. What can be more real than a 17 year old girl wanting to be with a 17 year old boy?" she asked.

Damon considered what she said. "True. What could be more real than this" he said with a scowl, and started to leave.

"Where are you going?" Bonnie called after him, but Damon ignored her question and walked on, leaving Bonnie confused. What was wrong with him?

Bonnie shrugged and walked next to Stefan and Elena.

"Where's Damon?" Stefan asked as Bonnie came.

"I don't know. He just left, he didn't say anything"

"What happened? Did you lot argue again?" Elena asked.

"We always argue Elena, but no we didn't argue. Maybe he's hungry" Bonnie reasoned.

"No, he fed before he came" Stefan told her.

"Whatever. Why are we even looking for a reason for Damon's actions. Its Damon at the end of the day" Bonnie said, not wanting to dwell too much on anything he'd do.

"True" Elena commented.

Stefan and Elena went back to dancing, and Bonnie went to the corner next to bar, watching.

"You're alone?" Tyler said appearing out of nowhere.

"Yeah. Damon…stepped out for a bit"

"Oh good…Well, we should make the most of his disappearance. Wanna dance?" he asked, holding out his hand.

"Yes, I would love to" she said taking his hand and walking to the centre.

She was dancing with Tyler! Bonnie wanted to squeal inside, but thanks to Damon, her mood was ruined. She wasn't able to feel the delight she was supposed to. He was a nice dancer, she was able to acknowledge that much.

"Could I have my girlfriend back?" they heard Damon say, and Bonnie realised a few things at the same time. He was still in that crappy mood and he was wearing a suit! And if possible, he looked more gorgeous than before.

"Possessive are we?" Tyler joked.

"Very" Damon replied and took Tyler's place.

"I leave you alone for a moment and you're already in the arms of another man" Damon said when Tyler went.

"Its Tyler-" Bonnie started but Damon cut in.

"Yeah, I know its Tyler and as you constantly remind me, we're doing this for his benefit"

"You're in such a crappy mood today. You know you can go if you want. I don't mind"

"Are you going to leave with me if I leave?" he asked.

"No. Why would I?"

"Then I guess, I'm staying. We're a 'couple' remember, and couples leave or stay together"

"So…You're wearing a suit. How comes?" Bonnie asked.

Damon was glad for the change of the subject, he smirked. "Well, I didn't want to distract you anymore, so I compelled someone to take of their jacket and tie"

"You didn't?" Bonnie asked, her eyes widening.

As if on cue, a young guy appeared from the hallway wearing his white shirt. He looked confused and dazed. Probably wondering where his tie and jacket was. Despite herself Bonnie laughed.

"Your evil. Poor kid" she was glad Damon was going back to normal now. She didn't know how to deal with the other Damon.

Damon sighed dramatically. "Bonnie we've been practising for the last week. Lets do this properly, the way I taught you. Remember no trains" he said and pulled Bonnie closer to him.

Damon had said no trains, but even an ant couldn't past between then now, Bonnie thought, as their bodies were literally glued together. Just like he had many times before, Damon parted Bonnie's legs and placed his body, and placed his hand on her waist, and his other hand entwined their fingers tightly, and resumed their swaying.

Damon brought their entwined hands, and lifted Bonnie's chin. "Eye contact" he said and stared into her browns eyes.

As she looked into his deep blue eyes, Bonnie found that she was able to lose herself in them. To drown in them, if she let herself. They were so deep, so beautiful.

It was almost as if, they were by themselves, as if no one else was in the hall. Just Bonnie and Damon. They had danced so many times together in the same style, but dressed and in public like this was different. It felt different.

She couldn't take it anymore, she broke eye contact. "Ouch. You're stepping on my foot" she said to break the mood, because the air around them was thickening.

Damon smirked. "I'm not stepping on your foot. Don't lie. Come on, its almost over. Don't break the mood" he said and rolled her around, bringing her back to him.

Bonnie she thought she'd be successful, but it was the same. As soon as she lifted her eyes to him, the atmosphere was back. The air was thick, her body felt hot. Every inch of his body was pressed against hers. Her heart was accelerating for some reason.

He was gorgeous to look at. They eyes, the bone structure of his face, his hair, and those lips. Absentmindedly Bonnie's tongue darted out to lick her lips. A second later she felt Damon's lips on hers, slowly brushing them against hers and her eyes fluttered shut. He seemed hesitant at first and then he started kissing her, gaining more confidence.

Bonnie has been kissed by Damon many times. During the last 2 weeks he kissed her a lot. Sometimes a peck, sometimes a soft brush and sometimes, he really kissed her. So she was used to it, and sometimes - though she hated to admit - she enjoyed his kisses - but this kiss today, seemed different. It was different. It had more urgency, more softness, more hardness…It almost seemed real. As if they were kissing for real. It was a bone melting kiss, one that made her warm all over. One that made her respond back.

She opened her eyes slowly as they parted. She looked at him, he had no expression. She chuckled nervously and said, "Your timing was perfect. Tyler was looking"

Damon's face hardened, he shook his head slowly, and with a bitter chuckle, he released Bonnie and left. Not looking back once.

This time Bonnie knew he really went, wouldn't be coming back. But she didn't understand what she was doing today that was constantly making him mad.

Bonnie didn't want to admit it, but she was shaken by that kiss, and she was just reminding herself that all this was for Tyler's benefit. Nothing more..

A/N: I hope you enjoyed.
