I own nothing all characters belong to the CW and L.J. Smith
Reminder I'm telling two stories at the same time, one half past events that led to Damon/Bonnie… top half where they are now…
Chapter 11- what do you have to offer
Bonnie and Dean look at each other nervously, "Are you sure, whoever attacked you didn't follow you?" Bonnie asked eyeing the door and Dean suspiciously, Dean took Bonnie by the hand taking her to a isolated area in his loft, " get in" Dean gently said pushing her inside, " I can help you" Bonnie stopped posturing herself firmly in her tracks grabbing him by his biceps, " No, you're still too weak from what happened, and I'm not gonna put you in danger" Dean placed his hand to her face, which made her back away ;because Dean has been making it clear that he had developed some kind of attraction and feelings for her, feelings she couldn't return,
The knocking at the door was becoming a forceful pounding "somebody's eager" Bonnie sarcastically said nervous, "just stay here, I won't let her you" Dean said shutting the door quickly rushing toward the front door, "DEAN, DEAN, HER WHO?" Bonnie shouted banging on the door, as Dean charged toward the door, it came shattering toward him, knocking him to the ground, "Bonnie, I came… Bonnie where are you?" Damon called urgently looking around the loft for the girl lost to him,
Dean stood a pissed expression screened on his features "the famous Damon" thunder struck the sky as Damon over looked Dean as one more obstacle in his way, Damon exhaled tiresome "since you already know my name, I'll assume you know why I' am here than" Damon smirked grimly at Dean, who was flashing a sinister look himself, "yes, and I'm not gonna let you take her" Dean said hostile taking a defense stance against the unusually calm Damon who looked like he was ready to pounce at any moment,
"One last chance, where is she?" Damon's voice was mincing like a whisper, as he lowered his eyes changing into full fledged vampire swiftly grabbing Dean by his arrogant little neck squeezing his fingertips on his throbbing juggler, Dean's hazel pearls were a bright sunburst red, hanging in the air choking to breathe as he held on to Damon's forearms, "WHERE IS SHE?" Damon's voice roared along with the thunder and lightning,
Dean started to convulse in Damon's grip shaking loosely, Damon lost his grip on Dean's throat backing away; Damon wasn't exactly sure what was happening before his eyes but when the stranger stood, Damon was looking at a mirror image of himself, "before I rip your heart out, cool trick…I must say I'm quite a looker" Damon said in typical Damon humor,
Bonnie heard the muffled noise but she couldn't make out what was happening, hearing things get quiet she started to bang on the door again, Damon and Dean tussled around the room... Damon throws Dean against the back wall by the window his body crushing the wooden coffee table, taking his attention away from Dean , Damon focused, " hey, Dean… open this door" Damon smiled momentarily distracted from hearing that lovely soft feisty voice,
Damon felt the sharp heart wrenching pain of the wood pierce his back," see I came" Damon's mind was flashing with images of the beautiful girl as he came spearing to the ground, Dean had charged toward Damon with so much force that he knocked both of them through the thin picture window, while the rain poured from the sky feverishly, as both Damon's laid there stiff and unmoving each bleeding from significant wounds sustained during their battle, one had landed squarely in front of the building and the other a few feet away in the shadows behind the buildings dumpsters,
A man in all black jumps out of the back of a white van joined by two other individuals, "get them both" the man says pulling out his small Samsung cell phone, "we found him, but there's a problem because I'm not sure which one he actually Is, I'm sending you a picture now" the voice on the other end "take them both and get out of there now" Katherine urgently says through the phone this situation of the two Damon's just guaranteed her power over the defiant Bonnie,
Bonnie had grown tired of not being in control, so she had blow the doors off its hinges seeing the loft in shambles and the broken window, she found that she was worried about Dean, for the first time since she's met him; rushing to the window she saw nothing blow her, backing away from the wrecked window Bonnie hurried from the loft…..
The uninvited Dinner guest
Bonnie sat there uncomfortable and nervous in between her father and Damon, she knew that Damon very often had diarrhea of the mouth sharing details that didn't need to shared and she was very on edge because her father clearly was not to keen on Damon or his charms; Philip watched distrusting of this older male who was interested in his seventeen your old daughter, "something wrong with the food, Damien" Philip asked smugly purposely getting his name wrong,
"It's Damon, Dad" Bonnie corrects her father looking at Damon "No, it's just that I'm on a liquid diet" Damon smirks at Bonnie who kicks him in the sheen, "what do you, mean by that" Philip asks curiously seeking any and all information, "it's just that I prefer something of a 98.6 variety" Damon wiggled his brows, as Bonnie shook her head rubbing her hand against her temple, Damon wasn't going to make this easy for them he'd make this as difficult as possible,
Before Philip could wrap his mind around what Damon, is actually saying, the door bell sounds clearing Philip from the table, "are you crazy, or are you purposely trying to let my dad in your little secret" Bonnie said frustrated through clenched teeth, "yes I'm completely crazy, plus am just returning the favor…. Because it's so not on purpose that he keeps calling me Damien" Damon says sarcastic cutting into his stake stuffing a piece in his mouth "oh, you do eat" Bonnie says mockingly,
seeing Damon features tense up, as her father returned followed by Tyler, "I was sorry to hear about your father" Philip says offering his condolences to Tyler who merely nodded at Philip still unable and unwilling to talk about the passing of his father, "Jonathan, was a good friend" Philips pats the uncomfortable Tyler on the back, eyeing the twisted expression on Damon's face, " I just came by to drop off these forms, for my mom" Tyler says gruffly scarcely eyeing a cozy Bonnie and Damon,
"why, don't you join us," Philip offers joyfully, "Dad, I'm pretty sure Tyler's busy…isn't that right Tyler" Bonnie looks at Tyler stern nodding lightly for him to leave, Tyler smiles boastful "Bonnie, of course I'm not doing anything, I always have time for you" Tyler cozily took the spot next to her, Bonnie through her hands over face, "this couldn't possibly go wrong" Bonnie mumbled under her breath,
Tyler and Philip were discussing sports and completely leaving Damon out of there cheerful little male bonding, but that didn't bother Damon not one bit; but the more Tyler talked the faster Damon stuffed food into his mouth holding it in the corners of his jaws extremely annoyed by Tyler's presence at dinner, and his oh so fascinating tales of his and Bonnie's childhood memories as if he were the only one to shared a past with her,
"Tyler, how is the football going?" Philip asked intriguingly smiling at Tyler, Bonnie rolled her eyes because her father was being blatantly rude to Damon ignoring him but that he didn't seem to care, Damon only ever twitched when Tyler, would touch Bonnie while reminiscing over the past, "yeah, Timmy how goes the team" Damon said spiting food into Tyler's face, Tyler stood wiping his forehead agitated "Dude, maybe you should shallow your food" Philip stood along with Tyler, Damon eyed them both, " whoops" Damon retorted with a big smirk on his cheek showering both of them with food,
"Excuse us, we'll be right back" Bonnie Grabbed Damon by the hand pulling him the table leading him to the den like a child being reprimanded by a parent, Damon saw that she was freaking out because things weren't going exactly as planned, "what is the matter with you, you spite food in my father's face" Bonnie said her words in an unbelieving tone, "I don't like Timmy, I feel this urge to rip his head off… and your sperm donor is just… well annoying" Damon says so-matter-fact,
Bonnie throws her hands up walking back to the kitchen, everyone was back seated awkwardly everyone expect for Damon who whistled bored at Philip who was going over tales of how Tyler and Bonnie go back to the sandbox, "you two were so cute together, I had kind of hoped you two would be together by now" Philip happily smiling warmly at his daughter, "well don't worry sir, I'm working on it" Tyler said smiling at Bonnie, whose attention quickly shifted to Damon whose expression revealed that if looks could kill Tyler would be dead,
"Dad, this whole me and Tyler thing is like trying to beat a dead horse" Bonnie said sternly looking at her father, "and why's that sweetie, Tyler has prospects a bright future ahead of him…" Philip looked at Damon who was seething, "and what exactly do you Mr. Salvatore have, to offer my daughter besides a good time?" Philip's tone was insulting and rude,
Damon sat there for a moment and thought what it was exactly did he have to offer, what did he contribute to society besides murdering people, drinking and torturing his brother, "A fucking good time" Damon said with repentance adding a smirk, Philip furrowed his brow clenching his jaw leaving the table, "Dad" Bonnie called after her father nervously, "Dude, your such a dick" Tyler looked at Damon with patience, " call me Dude, one more time I'm gonna reach across this table and snap your neck" Damon says firmly eyeing Tyler with irritation,
Bonnie hears her father cock his raffle charging toward the kitchen, Bonnie chants something under her breath and within seconds the kitchen door swung closed on her father keeping him from entering, "well, that concludes this awesome dinner", Bonnie rolls her mossy green gems sarcastically helping a seated Tyler up and out the back door, "could you, just wait for me on the porch… while I go try to prevent my father from having a stroke" Bonnie asked Damon who was sitting there all nonchalant like her father hadn't gone to get his gun and was coming back in to shot him,
Damon leaned against the door although he didn't need too; he listened in on Bonnie and Philip who were having a pretty intense argument about him, "He's disrespectful… I don't like him he's beneath you… Don't you see you can do better than some asinine idiot" Philip screamed at the top of his lungs, "you don't even know him dad, and I happen to like that asinine idiot" Bonnie said with zeal, " I'm warning you little girl, you are not to see him anymore… and that is final" Philip yelled sternly heading back upstairs,
Damon stood on Bonnie's back porch, hearing her approach Damon doesn't turn around, "This was a mistake, I should of never let myself get close to you" Damon sounded disgusted as he said the words, "so why did you?" Bonnie asked stunned by his admission, "because, I was bored I needed a challenge and you were it" Damon said these words with such ease that they almost rang true planting a smirk to his cheek, Bonnie slaps Damon across the face going back into the house; Damon rubbed his cheek as if her hit actually hurt, he felt sick as he turned to walk away choking on his last words to that fiery angel whose heart he was aching for,
Bonnie had snuck out of the house to meet Caroline, at the mystic grill to talk, she needed to cool off, she and Caroline were sitting in Bonnie's car drinking a bottle of tequila she took from home, "he said he was bored and needed a challenge" Bonnie took a big swig from the bottle, "I knew Damon was a psychopath, but I never figured him for stupid" Caroline caressing Bonnie's forearm supportively, "he is stupid" Bonnie slurred her words, seeing Stefan walking up to the mystic grill doors; Bonnie stumbled out of the car" Stefan, hey Stefan come here" Bonnie held onto the door waving Stefan over,
Stefan walked over to Bonnie and he could tell that she was obviously drunk and a smile priced those tight lips as he reached for Bonnie who wrapped her arms around his thick neck, "your brother is a jerk, big stupid jerk" Bonnie laid her head on Stefan's chest holding him, Stefan held onto her firmly thinking that she was extra precious when she was drunk, "I know… (Stefan looked over to Caroline) so what did my big jerk brother do?" Stefan caressed Bonnie's back smiling, "I don't really have all the details but she's pretty upset about it" Caroline shrugged,
Bonnie lifted her head from Stefan's Chest, "you smell good" Stefan smiled again, Bonnie was always capable of making the people around her smile, "you meeting Elena here?" Caroline asked Stefan who was swaying side to side with Bonnie, "yeah, she should be here any minute" Stefan curled his lips in a worried fashion looking at the bottle of tequila in the cup holder of the car, "I'm not drunk I promise, just put her in the back seat I'll get her home safely" Caroline smiled at Stefan warmly; Stefan helped Bonnie into the back seat, Bonnie looked him square In the eyes, "your brothers an ass" she says laying back down, " thanks Stefan, bye Stefan" Caroline said pulling away,
Stefan had gone into the mystic grill to await Elena's arrival,
Damon was in front of the fireplace with a glass of bourbon in hand he was painfully drunk and he looked sick to his stomach; Stefan barged through the den doors, "what is Damon, what happen… why, did you call me here?"Stefan asked urgent, Damon didn't turn to look at Stefan, "have a seat" Damon tapped the spot next to him, "what do wont Damon, is there a new threat I need to know about?" Stefan's voice became low and stern almost like an authority figure, "nope, I just needed to talk a friend or brother but you'll do" Damon looked Stefan up and down in a displeasing manner,
Stefan looked unsure of what to make of what was happening, "you texted me emergency, so that you could talk" Stefan's mouth hung open looking at the older Salvatore, "why else would text you… to come home, so that could bore me to death" Damon's tone was serious and sarcastic all at the same time, Stefan brushes off Damon's words he could tell his brother was obviously upset about something and this was his way of dealing with it,
"Tell me what is it that put you in such a pleasing mood?" Stefan asked pouring himself a drink, Damon swallows his bourbon, "I sort of ended things with the little witch" Damon turned his graze away from his brother whose look showed that he wasn't surprised, "and since your good at this whole… I'm sensitive crap, I figured I get some—"Stefan looked at Damon, who was unwilling to spill his trailed off words, "advice, the word is advice" Stefan creased his brow at the immature Damon, "yeah that…. So what do got for me" Damon prompted sitting up,
"I actually need to know, what exactly happened before I can help you" although Stefan had gotten somewhat of idea from his talk with Bonnie, Damon smirked considering his options but of the two of them Damon knew that Stefan was the more open with his feelings very much like a girl; Stefan could be very submissive un-vampire like in Damon's book because they had a choice to live through their emotions or shut them off which Damon had opted for but his feeling were resurfacings,
"The details aren't important" Damon leaned back into the chair, "well your my brother and I know you so… here is my advice, try not being such a dick next time" Stefan swallowed his drink standing in front of a smirking Damon, "Stefan cracks another funny, that's two now in the past century, we should alert Guinness worlds records" Damon says sarcastic also standing, "Don't text me emergency unless we have an actual emergency" Stefan says gesturing to walk away, "why, interrupt a hot date with Elena" Damon said grinning,
" actually yeah" Stefan nods crossing his arms, " she'll get over, I hate to break it to Stef, but she's only with you because she can't have all of this" Damon smacked his teeth together with a devilish smirk on his cheek leaving the room; he always had to have that last word when he and Stefan shared banter,
It had been a week since Damon had graced the front steps of the beautiful little witches porch, he hadn't expected to miss her like he did it was a constant agony being away from the smart savvy girl; who was giving meaning to his life again, for the first in a long time he longed for something other than some selfish woman who never had the proper time for him because she was too busy trying to keep her wicked clutches in his brother;
but Bonnie was strictly his no brother to brother rivalry over Bonnie, because if he had to share her with anyone he might just kill them, Damon didn't want for many things because he could have anything expect the one thing he always felt alluded him one time too many, Damon couldn't say that he loved her but he also couldn't say that he wouldn't love her either because if there was one thing Damon knew is that (love is never easy) especially for a homicidal vampire with emotional trust issues, but he was trying to make an effort this time around,
Bonnie stepped onto the porch still very pissed at him, and before she could speak Damon placed his chilled finger to her lips, his body firmly in front of her his five 'feet Nine inches towering over her, "what brings you here, run out people to be bored with "Bonnie's voice was Sarcastic; Staring straight ahead very stoic,
"I only said that because I don't feel like I deserve you… Elena, Caroline and Stefan don't trust me with you for obvious reasons, and I made it impossible for your father to ever like me" Damon hung his head low still towering over her, Bonnie looked straight ahead at his Adams apple, "why do you care what they think, the only thing that matters is what I think… and yeah this whole you and me is pretty damn strange and weird but it's happening" Bonnie inhaled his bourbon scent closing her mossy green eyes, " reach in my pocket" Damon says shyly; Bonnie reaches into his leather jacket pocket, "nope, not that pocket" Damon smirks with his head still raised above hers taping his thigh,
Bonnie had pulled out a small note smiling, "everything you need to know" Damon said quickly leaving from her line of view, Damon hadn't written anything since he was a human, a young naïve lovesick boy, but what he wanted to say he felt that these simple words wouldn't come out right and he wanted Bonnie, to know where he stood when it came to the two of them,
Bonnie sat on her bed scared and excited to open the note because she never knew what to expect from Damon, so she exhaled heavily opening the note which had two simple words written, "I care" Bonnie laid on the bed, and watching her was that pitch black crow sitting on the window seal ….
