Ok I am really not happy with this chapter. I have had a lot on my mind and it is just not flowing like I want it to. Just to let you know this will not be DBS it will be DB only. I just needed Stefan to shock Damon into realising that he liked Bonnie. Stefan just has a temporary crush on Bonnie that I am hoping will go away!

Please let me know what you think.

TOP FIVE – Chapter 4

Elena gasped as the whole jug of iced water went over her head, Damon thrust the jug at Stefan and smiled innocently, Meredith and Bonnie were trying to hold back the laughter at the slight before them and Stefan just looked at Elena stunned.

"What the hell is going on here" shouted Elena as she stood up and stormed out of the kitchen with Stefan following behind her still holding on to the water jug calling "Elena my lovely little love" the laughter erupted from the three in the kitchen and followed Elena and Stefan up the stairs.

Meredith turned to Bonnie and Damon, and fixed them with a stern gaze "so what is going on?"

Bonnie looked completely blank and Damon did his best innocent look.

"I thought it was just an accident" said Bonnie completely unaware of the underlying current in the room. Meredith believed Bonnie as she just wasn't capable of lying. Damon on the other hand!

Damon sat there looking at Meredith. She freaked him out sometimes with her direct glare.

"Mere what do you mean?" asked Damon with his puppy dog eyes.

"You know exactly what I mean Damon and I will get to the bottom of it" Meredith said and Damon had no doubt that she would get answers.

UPSTAIRS

Stefan finally put the water jug down on top of the dresses as he entered the room that he shared with Elena. Elena had grabbed a towel from the en- suite bathroom and was trying to dry off her long blond hair. She stormed into the bed room and stared at Stefan.

"Stefan what the hell was going on at dinner? You and Damon were fighting to get Bonnie's attention"

Stefan blushed but there was no way that he was going to let Elena know about the conversation that he and Damon had the previous night. Stefan knew that it was just a harmless fantasy and that he was in love with Elena. Stefan realised that he had be quite for too long and that Elena was looking at him with a quizzical expression on her face. Stefan put his face in his hands and rubbed his face and looked at Elena

"My lovely little love, I was just trying to protect Bonnie, I think that Damon is planning something"

Elena smiled at Stefan and wrapped her arms around him "Stefan it's just like you to think of others" she whispered in his ear as she kissed him.

BACK IN THE KITCHEN

Meredith and Bonnie had started to clean up and Damon had vanished as soon as there was work to be done as normal.

"Bonnie, what do you think was going on at Dinner?" Meredith asked.

"Mere I have no idea what you are talking about" Bonnie looked at Meredith with absolute innocents

"I was afraid of that" Meredith stated

"Why don't you explain?" Bonnie asked

"I will. I think that I need to make some coffee and we can talk"

They finished cleaning the kitchen, they could hear some noises coming from upstairs and figured that Elena had forgiven Stefan and they were making up. Damon had completely vanished. Meredith figured that he had gone to get a more mobile snack. They took the coffee pot into the sitting room at the boarding house and sunk into one of the welcoming over stuffed mismatched sofas that were in the room. Somebody had lit the fire and Meredith had guessed that it must have been Damon.

Bonnie curled up on the sofa, she could sense that Damon was nearby she didn't realise how close so she didn't say anything to Meredith.

"So explain to me what I missed at dinner" Bonnie asked

"Stefan and Damon were both trying to get you attention"

Bonnie's eyes widened "what do you mean?"

Damon sat in one of the window seats and observed Bonnie from the shadows of the sitting room, her pale skin warmed by the firelight, the glow turning her hair from red curls into a fiery halo, the refection of the firelight danced in her eyes as she looked at Meredith. Damon realised that he had never seen anyone that was as beautiful as Bonnie was inside and out.

Meredith looked at Bonnie; she knew her best friend was naive about boys but sometimes!

"Bonnie they both rushed to get the seat next to you at dinner, Stefan had a strange look when you hugged him earlier on and Damon has been watching you closely and let's not talk about the farce that went on at dinner!"

Bonnie really hadn't thought about it. She thought that they were just being nice. In the end Meredith realised that she wasn't going to get anywhere so she put an arm around Bonnie's shoulders. "I will figure it out" she stated and Damon had no question in his mind that she would and that maybe she could unwittingly help him.

So... what do you think?
