STILL DON'T OWN ANYTHING...
RANDOM WORD: PAYING
When she and Damon had been dating for about six months Bonnie decided she no longer wanted to be a kept woman.
"Bonnie, you're being ridiculous. I've got the money. Let me buy dinner."
"No," she insists. "I have my own money, Damon. I don't need you to pay for me all the time."
"I know that. I want to." He kisses her and he thinks the discussion is closed until one day she manages to pre-pay for their dinner and movie.
"Bonnie…" He warns. She kisses him and she thinks he's forgotten, but she should have known better. For awhile it seems that every time she offers to pay he acquiesces to her request easily and she's beginning to think things are balanced. Then she starts noticing all the free things she gets.
When she goes with Elena to get a dress for Caroline's birthday party the lady at the store won't take her card. She stops to admire some flowers and the florist practically forces them into her arms. She's eating at the Grille and instead of a check she gets a dessert sent over, compliments of the chef. It's the final straw and when she charges into the old Salvatore boarding house and finds Damon and Stefan sitting around drinking scotch like two men in a black and white movie she loses it a little bit.
"How dare you!"
"Me or him?" Stefan clarifies and when she sends him across the room with a flick of her wrist he doesn't joke anymore.
"Damon Salvatore you let me think I was paying for things and this whole time you've been going around town paying for everything so I can't spend any money."
He places the scotch on the table as she comes into the room to face him. "Well, I used to spend my money on our dates, but since you don't let me do that anymore I spend it in town and I might have mentioned that if a certain girl, who matched your description, came into their establishments, it would be fine if your bills were put on my tabs."
"You had no right." She stamps her foot and he launches off the sofa.
"I have every right! You belong to me. I belong to you and you won't let me take care of you. You give me all of yourself without me even having to ask and when I try to give you a little something back…a dinner, a movie, a dress or two, you refuse."
She's in his arms before she's aware of what happened and she eventually stops carrying a wallet because it never gets used.
