Radical times – chapter 7
Bonnie was glad that she only had four more days at school. No more home work. She had handed her last history assignment this morning. Now with the evening breeze coming through the open window she lay in Damon's arms talking about her day. Damon listened and kissed the top of her head. Bonnie turned to around and leaned her arms on Damon's chest. In the warm evening air Damon had dispensed with his T shirt and lay there just wearing his jean. Bonnie had changed from her top jeans and heals into little shorts and a vest top. Damon was so turned on by the sight of Bonnie that he was struggling to keep himself in check. A change of subject would be good.
"Bonnie, what are we going to do about your parents, they will be home by the end of the week and will notice if you're not there every night. I don't think they are going to be happy."
"We can go together and pick them up from the airport and they will just have to accept it."
"Bonnie, I don't want to cause a rift between you"
"I'm going to be leaving home in 8 weeks anyway they just have to get used to it" Bonnie said defiantly. This was not something that she was going to back down from. The accepted Damon or lose her simple.
"What did you do today?" Bonnie asked trying to change the subject.
"Well. I got you a present though you won't need it after four days. It's sitting on your side of the bed" Damon hadn't even realised that he had called it Bonnie's side. She smiled to herself. She looked over and saw a new alarm clock on the bedside table. It looked like a baseball and was designed to be thrown to stop the alarm.
"I see you took Elena's advice, good choice" she thanked him with a long lingering kiss and her hands floated up his chest. Damon growled.
"And I have some other surprises for you" Bonnie's eyes lit up. Before she could ask there was a gentle tap at the door. Bonnie hastily pulled herself of Damon. Damon in the mean time changed his position on the bed to hide is growing desire for Bonnie.
"Come in" called Damon, in came Mrs Flowers. They had almost forgotten that this was her home.
"Bonnie dear, hope you are settling in ok. I thought you would like some tea after all you have had quite a weekend." The old lady smiled and placed the tea on a small table. Bonnie jumped up and said thank you to Mrs Flowers. She then grabbed the hair clip of the side but Mrs Flowers stopped her. "I want you to keep that" said Mrs Flowers. "I love having two girls living in my house again. You are staying aren't you?" Mrs Flowers asked.
"If that's ok with you Mrs Flowers and of course if Damon wants' me too"
"Of course Damon wants' you to. He has been in love with you from the first moment he saw you, it just took him a little time to realise it"
Damon sat there speech less. Mrs Flowers had asked Bonnie to move into the boarding house.
"Don't worry about your parents Bonnie, they will be fine and I think you will be staying just a little longer than the 8 weeks"
Bonnie opened her mouth and shut it again, how had Mrs Flowers known that she was worried about her parents and that she thought that she would only be here 8 weeks. Bonnie opened her mouth again and closed it. She decided the best course of action was to just throw herself at Mrs Flowers in a massive hug.
"Thank you so much for the clip Mrs Flowers but are you sure?"
"Yes I'm sure"
Damon just sat there and watched the two witches embrace.
"I'll leave you to it, would you like supper tonight."
"Thank you Mrs Flowers that would be great" said Damon
Mrs Flowers left the room and Bonnie and Damon sat back on the bed. Bonnie had the mug of tea in her hand and looked at Damon.
"So more surprises?" asked Bonnie.
"Go check the wardrobe"
Bonnie put her mug down and bounded over to the wardrobe. Damon followed closely behind her. To go with her sexy new image was half of Damon's wardrobe filled with new clothes. Enough outfits to last a month! Then Damon pulled open the top draw of the dresser and it was full of pretty lace things. Damon had wiped out Victoria secrets!
"Oh Damon. I love it. All of it. Thank you so much, you shouldn't have spent so much money on me!" with that Bonnie found herself in Damon's arms again and kissing him again.
"What else would I spend my money on Cara. I have lots of it acquired over many centuries, you deserve the best" he kissed her again.
"I have another surprise my little bird" and Damon brought out a book. He handed Bonnie the book.
"A guide book for Venice?"
"Yes cara we fly a week after graduation. My graduation present to you" Bonnie couldn't believe it; She was going to Venice, one of the most romantic city's in the world. With the sexiest man in the world, she got to have him all to herself.
"We will be there for a month. So the other thing we have to do is finding somewhere to live before you start university. I need the sale to go through and then we will need to furnish and remodel it before you start. You have free reign you can do what you like"
The that cloud appeared over Bonnie's face again
"What is it Princess. Don't you want me to come with you?" Damon was worried. Had Bonnie changed her mind? Did she want the university experience all by herself?
"Of course I want you to come with me. I don't think I can survive a day without you let alone a night" Bonnie wrapped her arms firmly around his face and looked up into his dark eyes.
"I was thinking of taking a year out before I start. That way we don't have to rush"
"Bonnie are you sure that's what you want to do? It will mean putting yourself a year behind"
"Damon, what's a year? And beside's it will give my dad a year longer to save"
"You don't have to worry about that, I was going to pay"
"Damon. I can't let you pay for everything"
"Yes you can. I love you and I want to"
"We will discuss this later" said Bonnie.
Damon heard Mrs Flowers calling; they went and put some clothes on before heading down to supper. Again that had supper in the kitchen with Elena, Stefan and of course Mrs Flowers. Anybody looking through the window would see a grandmother with her grandchildren and their partners, a happy family.
Bonnie had to go back to her's for a little while to leave another note for Mary so it looked like she still lived there. Whilst she was writing the note, Damon was wondering around the house looking at the photo's that we around the place. Bonnie and Mary eating ice cream when they were young. Bonnie in her cheerleads outfit with pom poms. God he hopes she kept that uniform. Another photo of Bonnie with her parents and Mary at a family wedding.
"All done. I let Mary know that I will pick mum and dad up at the airport. I'm going to see her after school tomorrow, to let her know about you. Will you come with me?"
"Of course but how are we going to all fit in the Ferrari from the airport? We can take Dad's SUV."
"Ok"
They went back to the boarding house and the evening followed the same pattern as before. About 10pm Bonnie got tired and they went to bed. Damon can't remember going this early to bed so many nights in a row ever. He was glad that he had eaten during the day and as they spooned together they talked about their trip to Venice.
"Was Casanova around when you were in Venice? "Asked Bonnie. A bit worried that the answer would be yes and that was Damon in another life.
For the first time Damon could read the thoughts going through Bonnie's mind and he laughed.
"Yes Casanova was a real person and we were around at the same time but we are not the same person"
Bonnie looked and Damon and said "that's ok then" she then realised that she hadn't actually spoken out loud.
Again Damon answered. "The closer we get, the more we fall in love, the stronger the connection between us. It will get easier for us to speak to each other through thought when we have made love. I don't know how much Elena has explained to you, but when Vampires make love they exchanged blood. If it's just sex then they don't need to but when it's someone we love we exchange"
Bonnie paled a bit"ooh"
"It will also warn other vampires away from you. As you will be considered mine"
"Have you exchanged with many women?" Bonnie gulped when she asked. Part of her wanting to know the answer and part of her not.
"Never before" Damon answered before kissing her firmly. Bonnie could feel her temperature rise as Damon kissed her.
"And maybe we will bump into Casanova in Venice"
"He's a Vampire?" asked Bonnie a bit astonished
"All the world famous lovers are"
Damon pulled her closer and Bonnie fell into a deep sleep.
