Reunion

Part 2

Bonnie groaned as she laid in her bed. Her head pounded and everything from last night was a blur. She never really drank that often because she was what everyone called a "light weight". 'Well Ron's not naked in my bed. So that's good...Right?' rolling over she looked at her phone to check the time. 'Seven...It's too early'. Reluctantly she forced herself out of bed to get ready for the day.

She sat in her shower as the hot water pounded away at her body. The warmth of the water felt nice as it slid down her naked body. As she was finishing up and stepping out of her shower she heard her cell ring. From the bathroom she could tell who it was by the set ringtone. Still naked she walked into her room and answered her phone as she sat on the bed. "Hey T"

"Tell me everything!" Tara excitedly spoke into her phone causing Bonnie to pull her own phone from her head from the loudness.

"Tara calm down" Bonnie said as she tried to stop the ringing in her ear. "Ron and I had a good time and just caught up last night"

"You and Ron? What about Kim?" a very confused Tara asked. As she sat on her front porch with a cup of coffee.

Bonnie shook her head when she remembered what Ron said about not a lot of people knowing. How could she expect people to know when the two lived out of state. 'Reminder: Ask Ron where he lives'. "Yeah it was just me and Ron. Turns out him and Kim broke up back in college"

"WHAT!" Tara yelled in her phone in shock over the news. The little act got her a few weird glances from a group of morning joggers who were passing her house.

'Should have expected that' Bonnie thought to herself. "Yeah. Ron said they are still very close and that she's engaged to some guy named Adam"

Tara couldn't believe what she was hearing. After all the years Ron and Kim spent together when the two finally became a couple she, like everyone else, thought they were going to be together forever. She shook her head as she tried to grasp this new found information "Did he say why they broke up?"

"No. Just that they did and are still best friends. He did say she will be at the class reunion so you could ask her if you want".

"Class reunion huh? So he's going? Maybe he'll be your date" Tara half-teasingly said.

"Tara!" Bonnie snapped "I think it's a little early for something like that. We just had dinner and a few drinks then I drove…" Bonnie trailed off when she realized she was drinking last night and 'drove' home. Still naked she stood up and grabbed a bathrobe before leaving her room. She walked around apartment looking for her car keys with no luck at finding them. She couldn't remember how she got home. "Tara I'll call you back"

"What's wrong?" her blonde friend asked.

"I can't find my keys and I can't remember how I got home. I need to make a phone call. I'll call you later" she said just before abruptly ending the phone call. Going to her recent calls she clicked on what was most likely Ron's number.

Meanwhile Ron was lying down in his bed, relaxing and still trying to wake up. As he laid in silence the buzzing of his phone on the night stand caught his attention. Sitting up he answered it without checking the screen. "Hello?" he groggily asked.

"Ron? It's me Bonnie". 'Bonnie? Why is she calling me?' "Oh hey Bonnie. What's up?"

"Nothing really. I'm just calling because I can't find my car keys or really remember how I got home"

Ron slightly smiled but shortly frowned after that remark 'I knew she wouldn't remember'. "Oh yeah I dropped you off last night. You were pretty drunk and I didn't want you to get in an accident"

Bonnie smiled in relief when she found out she wasn't driving drunk last night. "How sweet of you" she could feel a slight familiar feeling in her stomach from last night.

"Yeah so I guess you need a ride to get your car?" Ron asked as he stood up stretching.

"No I can just get a taxi or Tara to drop me off. I was just worried that I drove home last night" She wasn't sure why she tried to deny a ride. She did need one to get her car after all and seeing him wouldn't be bad in the slightest.

"It's not a problem, I can pick you up and we can get some breakfast or lunch and then I can drop you off. Plus, you'll kind of need me to open the restaurant to get your keys from the valet box"

"Oh right. Okay well pick me up in an hour, do you remember how to get to my place?"

"Yeah unlike you I remember everything" Ron jokingly said.

'I hope I didn't embarrass myself' Bonnie thought to herself. "Well I'll be waiting then"

"Alright I'll see you in an hour BonBon" Ron said before ended the call.

'Did he just call me BonBon?' She thought as she caught his last remark. It had been years since anyone besides her own mother had called her BonBon. She actually liked that he called her that and could feel that familiar flutter return when she thought about it. Turning back to her bedroom she walked back to it to get ready for the day.

Bonnie was sitting at her couch when a bell came from the intercom by her door. Walking over she clicked on the speaker "Hello?". Shortly after a familiar voice came back "It's uh me Ron". She couldn't help but smile when she heard his voice "Okay I'll be right down" she said before leaving.

When she walked out of the main door to the building she saw Ron at the bottom of the stairs and the familiar feeling returned to her stomach. She couldn't figure out why she was feeling this way. It was just Ron, a guy from school, they weren't friends or particularly close back then but still she felt something deep down when she saw him. "No suit today?" she asked as she descended the stairs.

Ron was wearing lightly blue jeans with an old faded shirt that still said "Mad Dogs" on it. The shirt hugged his upper body and Bonnie liked what she could see. Through his shirt she could see his pectorals and liked the way the short sleeves hugged his arms. To her he looked like one of those guys from a superhero movie when their characters were in casual wear. Ron lightly laughed "Uh no I usually don't wear suits as casual wear. I save them for events and business"

He watched as she descended the stairs and liked what he was seeing just as much as Bonnie liked what she saw. She wore a simple white sundress that stopped just above her knees. Though it was simple it looked great on her body and it clashed well with her tan skin. Bonnie could feel his eye's on her and liked it. She found it strange though, usually when a man would stare at her like Ron was she would get angry and verbally attack them. Maybe it was because Ron didn't show signs of lust in his eyes. If he did want her he hid it well from her. "So you ready?" she asked snapping him out of his gaze. "Yeah I'm parked down the street".

As they walked down the street in the morning sun Bonnie enjoyed the silence in the rising temperature. She almost felt completely at peace as they walked along side of each other with that fluttering feeling growing. As they neared his car she noticed it was a different car from the yesterday. "What happened to the newer car?" she asked as he opened the door for her 'Still a gentleman' she thought to herself as she got in.

Ron got into the car from the other side "The Aston Martin? I left it in the garage. Sometimes I like to take out the older cars" he said as he started up the old Corvette.

'Garage? Does he live here now? Other older cars?' In her head Bonnie started asking herself questions she wanted answers to. She wanted to know more but did not want to pry. Doing her best she looked at Ron as they drove down the road. "How old is this one" putting an emphasis on the word 'one' to try and get him to name the others. "This one here? She's a 1960 so pretty old, but don't worry I take care of her so she won't break down on us" he said smiling when he looked back at her. "So anywhere in particular you want to go for breakfast?". "Casey's Diner?" she asked not sure if he would know the place and to her surprise he did.

As the two sat at their table in the diner Bonnie looked at Ron as he went over the menu trying to decide what to eat. For Bonnie the choice was easy because she was a regular here and knew the menu like the back of her hand. Without thinking she asked a question that has been lingering at the back of her mind since this morning.

"Hey Ron can I ask you something?" the brunette asked as the blond continued looking over the menu. "Sure" he said without looking up. "Well you and the article said you were here for your newest article. I was just wondering how long you were going to be in town?". Ron put his menu down and looked up as if he was thinking. After a few moments he spoke "I guess I don't know. I moved back and well I might just stay for good. It's nice to be back in a familiar place with people I know" he said the last part as he looked into the teal eyes across from him. The stare from his chocolate brown eyes made her blush causing her to look away. "Why do you ask?". Looking back into the same eyes of his Bonnie wasn't a hundred percent sure why she asked, was it mostly out of curiosity or was it something more? "I was just curious" she paused "And it was nice seeing you again. I thought it'd be nice to see you some more…".

Ron smiled at the beauty sitting across from him "It would be nice. I'd like that" he said just as the waitress walked up to their table. The two made their orders and the waitress left them to their conversation. "I have another question" Bonnie started "Did I…I didn't do anything embarrassing last night did I? I remember eating the food, which was amazing by the way, but after the first bottle of wine everything turned into a blur."

Ron stared at Bonnie not sure if he should tell her about her offer last night or the kiss. He wasn't sure if this was a test or if she honestly couldn't remember. Looking at her facial features he could see she was confused about the night. He decided to hold some information. "Well you wanted to drive home but I said I'd have my driver for the night drop you off and uh…" he paused as he blushed and started rubbing the back of his neck. "You um". In Bonnies mind she was freaking out 'Oh god I made a move on him didn't I? Sure it's been awhile since I've been with someone and he looks…amazing…it's still embarrassing'. "Kissed me" Ron said.

The words instantly brought relief to Bonnie 'Just a kiss? That's not so bad' she thought to herself. Thinking to herself a devilish look took over her face as her old barracuda smile from school came out. "Did you enjoy it Ronnie?" she asked in the same seductive voice from last night and a look of seduction on her face.

Ron's body tightened up and his face turned red as her words took hold of him. Before he could answer Bonnie started laughing "Oh Ron you should see the look on your face". Slowly Ron started to laugh along with Bonnie when he realized she was messing with him. As their laughter cooled down the waitress brought them their meals. As the two ate Bonnie looked up at Ron "So I got nothing going on today… Do you want to possibly do something?" she asked just as Ron was putting food into his mouth. He didn't reply with words as he just smiled at her, giving her all the information she wanted with his smile.

After breakfast Ron took Bonnie to pick up her car where he then fallowed her home to drop it off just so the two could then leave. Now it was evening and Bonnie was just stepping out of Ron's car. As the two walked up to the apartment buildings front door a familiar feeling from last night took over Bonnies body. She had a wonderful day with Ron. The two spent their day around Upperton where they saw a movie, went to the local park and goofed off as the caught up. They talked about the past and the present. It was nice for Bonnie to be one what she was not considering a date without a guy lingering at her body all day. He was treating her like he did back in high school and it was nice.

"I had a great time today" she said as she stood at the door. "So did I" the blond said. Like Bonnie he was having the same familiar feeling from last night, one he had not felt in years. With a hand Bonnie brushed her hair back behind her ear then looked up at Ron blushing. She closed the distance between them and stood on her toes and kissed him on the cheek. "Call me" she said, but this time remembering it, just before she walked through the door of the building.

Ron was left standing on the buildings front stairs alone with a smile on his face. "Sure thing Bonbon" he said softly to himself before returning to his car.

Inside the apartment Bonnie plopped down on her couch, she sighed with a smile on her face as she stared at the ceiling. As she went over the events of the day in her head she looked down at the coffee table where her phone sat. It finally dawned on her that she forgot her phone. Picking it up she saw that she had a missed call from Tara and multiple text messages from the bubbly blonde. Ignoring the text messages, she clicked Tara's name, calling her back.

After only one ring the call was answered "Bonnie! Where have you been?" the blonde girl excitedly asked. When Bonnie never called back she immediately assumed she was with Ron and she was right.

"Hey T. Sorry I forgot my phone at the house"

"Forgot or purposely left it to get alone time?" she playfully taunted.

'Maybe a little bit of both' Bonnie quickly thought to herself "Shut up" she lightly laughed.

"So how was it? What did you two do? Did you do anything…exciting?" she put an emphasis on the last word.

"And what exactly do you mean by 'exciting'?"

"Oh come on Bonnie you know what I mean. Did you two 'DO' anything?"

"If I recall you had a huge crush on Ron at some point in high school. So why would you want to know?" Bonnie quickly shot back.

Gasping Tara replied "You did didn't you?! Tell me!"

Bonnie shook her head at her friend's response "No T we didn't do anything 'exciting'. We went to breakfast, caught a movie, went to the park then spent the rest of the day just going around as we caught up some more. Oh and dinner again."

"Again huh? So is there going to be another date?"

Bonnie thought on those words. Was it a date? She did sort of consider it a date considering all the things they did. But was it a 'date'? Did he consider it one or were they just spending time together? "I don't know. I told him to call me after kissing him"

"YOU KISSED HIM?!" Tara gleefully cheered over the speaker of the phone.

"Easy now T it was just a peck on the cheek"

"You still kissed him" Tara replied joyfully "I hope he calls you" she said as she continued on with a different topic.

'Yeah me too…' Bonnie thought as she half ignored Tara. She didn't mean to ignore her friend but she was lost in her own mind as she thought about Ron.

Ron was just getting home as he pulled into his drive way, parking his car in the large garage. Walking into his house he sat in the quiet living room. He never liked the silence when he was alone. Pulling out his phone he scrolled through his contacts until he found the one person he was looking for. He clicked on it and waited for her to pick up but was only met with a voice mail box.

"Hey KP it's me. I guess you and Adam are out or something. I wanted to talk to you about something and tell you some things but I guess that can wait. Call me back when you get a chance" he ended the call and dropped the phone on the couch. Looking around he saw the remote to his TV and flipped through the channels trying to drown out the silence. He knew Kim wouldn't like what he had to say. 'People change so she'd understand right?'

A/N

Well there's part two for you all. Again sorry to those who were reading this the first time when I deleted it, I hope those people found their way back to the story.

So what's next for the two? How will Kim react to the news? Yada yada yada.
