Hi hope you have enjoyed the previous chapters. I might not be able to update for a few days as I have an essay to finish. Thanks to everyone who has added it to their favourites.
Radical Times – Chapter 3
Bonnie stood there with the black rose in her hand, who had found her a black rose. She smiled again and got into her car. When she got to her house sitting on the porch swing was a dashing vampire dressed as always in black. Had Bonnie got the hint?
"Miss McCullough" Damon said as he stood and bowed deeply from the waist. Bonnie smiled at the old fashioned gesture.
"Mr Salvatore, what do I owe the pleasure" Bonnie smiled as she extended her hand. Damon bent down and kissed the back of her hand.
"I wondered if you would delight in joining me tonight for dinner and dancing on Friday night? "
Bonnie stood there mouth gaping Damon had just asked her out on a date. She was stunned Damon stood there waiting for an answer.
"I would love to" Bonnie said. Damon bowed again.
"Until Friday Miss McCullough, I will pick you up at 7.30pm if that's ok? "
"That would be great, I looking forward to it" Bonnie smiled at him.
Bonnie watched Damon walk away and smiled to herself. She had a date for Friday night and it was with the man of her dreams!
Damon tired not to swagger to his car he just couldn't help himself operation Bonnie was going full steam ahead, though she had agreed to go on a date all he now had to do was get her to fall hopelessly in love with him and move into the boarding house. He had to claim his little bird now. And so the whole world would know that they loved each other for eternity.
The week had carried on as it had started, with a rose being left on her car for her when she got out of school, she had guessed that it was Damon leaving them and kept them in a vase beside her bed. She added Friday's yellow rose to the vase when she got home. She had found it difficult all week not to mention to her friends that she had a date, she didn't want to share Damon with them at the moment and she was also worried a little about her friends reactions to why they were going on a date together.
Bonnie got in the shower and washed her hair, shaved and exfoliated. She then dried herself on the big fluffy white bath sheet, put on her scented body cream and perfume that matched ( also a treat from last week's reinvention trip) she walked into her bedroom and took out some deep purple silk lingerie, a strapless bra, matching thong and suspender belt. Her first adult date and she was going to feel like a sexy goddess. She dried her curls and they feel perfectly down her back. She slipped on her stockings and then slipped on the purple dress that she had brought on a whim last weekend. It was strapless and fell just below the knee, she slipped on the evening shoes and bag that matched. There she was ready just as the door bell rang. She checked her lipstick and headed down. Damon stood on her doorstep looking like a god. The black tailored Armani suit with a crisp white shirt just opened at the collar. His breath caught as he saw the vision before him. He had known now for a while that Bonnie was the love of his life and now to see her dressed up for him he could not believe his luck. He was going to have to growl at every man that looked her way tonight, and every man would the petit red head looked stunning. Now began the hard part Damon wanted Bonnie to fall in love with him and not through compulsion, he wanted it to be real feelings on both sides. Little did he know that Bonnie was in love with him already?
Damon bowed to Bonnie and offered his hand to her, she gladly accepted his hand, his cool strong fingers wrapping around her delicate hand. He kissed the back of her hand and gave her a bouquet of flowers.
"Bonnie you look stunning; I will be the envy of every man tonight"
"Thank you" said Bonnie, she locked the door and they walked hand in hand to the car. He opened the door for her and helped her into the luxurious leather seats of the black Ferrari. He then closed the door and slid into the driver's side. Damon had to concentrate very hard on the driving for the first time ever the intoxicating smell of her not just her perfume but the underlying scent that was purely Bonnie.
They headed into the main town and parked near Pierre's the most exclusive French restaurant in the area. Bonnie was shocked, not only was this the most romantic restaurant it was the most difficult to get a booking for.
Damon walked around to Bonnie's side of the car and helped her out of the car. A loud bag reverberated though out the air. Bonnie looked around and Damon whispered in her ear.
" I told you, you are stunning you have just caused your first road traffic accident and I don 't blame them" he closed the car door and put her wrap around her shoulders he took her hand placed it in the crook of his arm and walked her to the restaurant. They had been very quite on the drive over, now sitting face to face in the romantic restaurant, the conversation flowed freely. He told her all about his child hood in Italy, she told him about growing up in Fells Church and the four of them growing up together. They laughed and talked for hours. They came to the end of dinner and Damon paid the bill. He grabbed her hand as they walked out of the restaurant and he drew circles on her hand with his thumb.
"Are you ready to go dancing?" Damon asked, Bonnie smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder
"I think that I have had a wonderful evening but I am very tired, can we do it another time?"
Bonnie said and then worried that she was being too presumptuous. Damon smiled
"I don't want this evening to end, but the idea of spending another evening with you is great."
"Can I ask you a question? " Bonnie said.
"Go ahead" said Damon.
"Why didn't Italian restaurant? Don't get me wrong, I have had the best time. But I just wondered why as you are Italian we didn't go Italian."
"Because the best Italian food is made by me and I want to cook it for you" Bonnie smiled Damon wanted to this again with her.
Damon helped Bonnie in the car and closed the door, as he moved to the driver's side the ideas for the next date was forming in his mind.
The drive home was quite and Damon reached over and took Bonnie's hand in his. They drove home together hand in hand. They arrived at Bonnie's house, Damon let go of her hand only long enough that he could move a vampire speed to the other side of the car and help her out. Again they walked to the door hand in hand. Damon didn't want to let go. Bonnie opened the door and turned to face Damon.
"Thank you for a great evening, would you like to come in?" Damon moved forward and kissed her on the lips very gently.
"I would love to be I need to go and feed, I'm giving the Stefan diet a try for a while and the affects don't last as long as the previous diet."
Bonnie was about to ask why, but Damon silenced her again with a feather light kiss to the lips.
"I will explain another time Cara. I will call you tomorrow morning and arrange another date if that is alright with you?"
"I would love that Damon, Thank you"
With that Damon walked to his car and Bonnie closed the door and headed to her bedroom.
Can Damon wait for the second date? Can Bonnie wait for the second date? I am having trouble thinking about the 3rd date.
