Letters to My Ex-Jerk

Chapter 14- Double Date

"Are you sure this date of yours is coming?" Damon asked me, at the movie theatre that night. We were sitting in a café outside the cinema where Stefan was scheduled to come. Andie was with us, looking impatiently at her cell phone every five seconds. The movie was due to start in 15 minutes, and Stefan was still a no-show.

"Yes, he wouldn't stand me up," I bit my lip, hoping my words were true. Every minute that went by made me worried that he might blow me off and then make me look real bad in front of Damon and Andie. Stefan wouldn't do that to me though, I knew it. Are you sure? A small voice in my mind asked me. I pushed it away, ignoring its asinine claims.

Damon gave his mediocre smirk and turned to chat to Andie about something about their university campus. I tried dialing Stefan on his cell phone, but the number was busy. What exactly was going on? I leaned down onto the table, closing my eyes, before sitting up again.

I grinned as I saw Stefan enter the café. I waved him over and Damon's eyes widened and his jaw dropped as he saw him approach the table. I got up and gave Stefan a big hug, and then walked him back to the table. Damon's eyes were bulging out of their sockets but Andie looked unfazed.

"Guys, this is Stefan. Stefan this is Damon and Andie," I made the introductions, aware of how both Stefan and Damon were staring at eachother.

"Hello brother," Damon's look of surprise vanished into one of his usual cockiness.

"I beg your pardon?" I asked, looking between the both of them.

"This is my younger brother Stefan," Damon said, "I can't believe you didn't recognize him; you met him before,"

"Only once," Stefan confirmed, as he slipped his arm around my waist.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I demanded, annoyed a little that I'd been in the dark. So that was why Stefan looked a little familiar. I'd never thought to ask him for his surname. Or had I and I'd completely forgotten about Damon's surname? I realized with a smirk that Damon was Stefan's jerk ass brother Matt and Caroline were talking about.

"I wanted to see if you'd remember," Stefan teased.

"I'm sorry to ruin this moment, but the movie's starting," Andie said, getting up and taking Damon's hand.

I shot a glare at her back, "Come on, then," I muttered as we walked over to the theatre.

"I totally loved that movie," Andie exclaimed, talking about Sucker Punch which we'd gone to see thanks to her recommendation.

"I didn't mind it, but that Vanessa was smoking hot," Damon said, wiggling his eyebrows. Andie was too high to care.

Stefan just wrapped his arm around my shoulder. He'd fallen asleep 5 minutes into the movie, claiming that he woke up early because he had a test. I think he just found the movie boring.

"I'm hungry, can we go eat?" Stefan asked, looking towards the food shops with longing.

Damon laughed at his brother, and we all ended up eating at Papa Johns because the pizza was pretty damn good. We got a Double Cheese and a Meat Feast because Andie didn't like eating meat because it 'made her butt fat'- her words, not mine.

"So when did you and Bonnie meet?" Andie asked, trying to make conversation with Stefan and me.

"We go to the same gym," Stefan informed her, hugging me close to him.

I heard Damon grit his teeth, and looked up at him and saw he had an uneasy expression on his face. It turned to a brief smile as he saw me looking, then the look on his face became challenging as he turned back to his brother.

"Do you know what Bonnie's favorite color is?" Damon asked him, taking a bite of pizza and waiting for his answer.

"Pink?" Stefan asked, because that was the color shirt I had on. I'd changed from the green cashmere sweater when I found out how warm a day it was.

"No, aquamarine," Damon replied, "What about her favorite animal?"

"Cat?" Stefan tried again, failing hopelessly.

"Nope, Chihuahua," Damon smiled smugly, "Favorite state?"

"Mmmmm, Los Angeles?" Stefan replied.

"No, Florida," Damon replied, "What about-,"

I held my hand up to cut him off, "Enough about me. Andie, tell us about yourself," I pleaded, feeling some sort of rivalry between the two brothers. Damon looked disappointed and kept his eyes on me as his girlfriend began to speak.

"Well, I was a cheerleader in High School. I went to Thomas Jefferson High, and I graduated a few years ago. I started college at UCLA but wanted a more challenging program so I enrolled here also because my sister, Mandy, goes to High School here. She's a nerd of some sort so she goes to this special school for overachievers," She explained, as she took a tiny bite of pizza before wiping her mouth on a tissue.

"Cool," I said, before my cell phone started to ring. It was Caroline so I picked up right away.

"Hey," I called into it.

"Yello, look Bonnie, I know you're on your date and all, but I forgot my key and I'm kind of locked out. Lexie and David are out and I'm just sitting on the stairs in the cold. Could you come open for me? I have a test to study for," Caroline's voice was pleading, and I could hear her sort of shiver as she talked.

"Caroline, why would you forget your key?" I reprimanded.

"I'm sorry, mommy. I was being irresponsible," She teased, jokily then her tone turned serious, "Please,"

I nodded, "I'll be there in five," I murmured. I then looked at my friends.

"I have to leave. Caroline needs me," I got up, placing enough money on the table for my half of one of the pizzas.

"I'll come take you home," Stefan suggested, jumping up.

"I could take you home… if you wanted," Damon offered, standing up too.

"No, it's fine. You take Andie home. Stefan can accompany me," I muttered, noticing his face go hard. Could he possibly be jealous? I smirked at that thought. Then Stefan slipped his arm around me and left some money before we headed out of the store, telling Damon we'd call him later. As for Andie, she could go to hell…

"Thanks for coming, guys," Caroline exclaimed as we started up the steps towards the apartment. She was in fact sitting on the stairs looking very much like a tired and lost puppy. Her blue eyes lit up as she saw us coming, and I smiled at her.

"Well, I wanted to leave you locked out, but Bonnie insisted we come," Stefan teased as we passed by her. She hopped up and I opened the door and let all three of us in.

"You are a bad friend," She prodded Stefan in the chest, before turning to me, "I love you!" She exclaimed, hugging me close before letting go.

"I'll leave you guys then," She waggled her eyebrows and ran off into her room before anyone could say a thing.

"Do you want to stay?" I asked Stefan, my hand on the door.

Stefan nodded, his green eyes happy. "Can I?" He asked, and I let him by, closing the door behind him.

"No, I just asked you to give you false dreams," I joked, causing him to pick me up and tickle me. I was still laughing when he dumped me on the couch.

He sat down beside me and we switched on the TV, turning to whatever movie we could find. I put my head on Stefan's lap, and snuggled up to him, feeling that I really cared about him. But I couldn't stop thinking of Damon the whole movie through. He was special to me and he always would be. Even thoughts of him being jealous made me intensely happy because I still had feelings for him. I still loved him. The letters I wrote to him proved that.

As the credits rolled onto the screen, I jumped up to go to the bathroom. I did my business, then hurried to the kitchen to grab us some drinks. I found a carton of fresh orange juice and filled two glasses before getting a packet of biscuits and walking through to Stefan.

I handed him a glass and he smiled at me, "You sure took long enough," He teased, taking a big sip of the juice.

Suddenly, my cell phone rang. I grabbed it, checking the caller ID to find it was Damon. I picked up, and placed the biscuits and stuff on the table so that Stefan could have from it.

"Hey Damon, miss me already?" I joked, placing the phone to the side of my head and leaning against Stefan.

"Of course, Bon Bon. You know the day after tomorrow we start Spring Break right?" He asked.

"Yes, what about it?"

"Well, Andie got 4 tickets in the mail from her Mom to go to California for a few days in the break and she wants us to come with her. You, me and Stefan. She doesn't have any friends," Damon informed me, sounding a little sad at the discovery.

"Umm, I don't know," I muttered, though what I wanted more than anything was to go visit my dad. I hardly saw him and this would mean the world to me and to him of course.

"Well, ask Stefan and tell me,"

"Fine," I paused, "One second," I pushed the phone away and turned to Stefan. "Stef, how would you feel about going to Cali for spring break for a few days?"

Stefan shrugged, "Sounds good, I'll get to see you in a bikini," He winked at me and I rolled my eyes at him.

"Stefan says okay," I told Damon.

"Is Stefan there with you?" Damon's voice came across harsh and annoyed.

"Yes, is there a problem with that?" I demanded, annoyance bursting up in me.

Damon sighed, "No, I guess I'll see you later then; the flight will be tomorrow night" He muttered, before hanging up.

"Good bye," I hung up and turned to Stefan who had gotten up.

"Where are you going?"

"If I'm travelling, I have to go study," He said, pulling me up so I was standing in front of him.

"Okay, I guess," I smiled, and led him to the door.

"When's the flight?"

"Tomorrow night," I repeated Damon's words and Stefan nodded as he opened the door. I waved to him, as he started out of the door, before turning back and suddenly coming close to me.

"I have to do this," He muttered, before pressing his lips to mine in a short, sweet kiss. Then he ran down the stairs. I touched my lips, feeling that the kiss was sweet and nice but nothing like the fireworks I felt when I kissed Damon. Did this mean something? Was my body trying to tell me something?
