A/N: Hello loves. Thanks for the follows, reviews and favs. Means so much and for those of you who are asking, yes this is a Bamon fic and pretty soon we will only be seeing Bamon interactions. I'm having commitment issues when it comes to rating, so for now it stays T until my perverted mind decides it'd be better suited as M. lol. Enjoy.

Damon entered the restaurant with Leia in front of him. She had talked his ear off during their car ride but it was nothing important or substantial. Damon was beginning to think that he was already bored with her. Maybe it's because I had sex with her too early? Damon led her to a booth in the restaurant and when the waitress came over and flirted with Damon, he flirted back, giving her their orders.
"I don't like when you do that," Leia said simply, while stirring her coffee, "I find it rather disrespectful."
Damon stared at the classic beauty, she had pulled her hair up into a ponytail which made her face brighter and her grey eyes pop, "We aren't dating so I'm entitled to do as I pleased."
"Yeah, let's talk about that," she said raising her mug to her lips and taking a sip, "I am now your girlfriend."
"What the fuck?" Damon inquired.
"I didn't stutter."
"Ok, that's obviously my cue to leave," he said as he slid out of the booth, she stopped him by tugging at his arm.
"Don't be stupid, Damon, you clearly aren't as over that girl as you claim to be, which was why, you kissed me back."
"No I kissed you back because I liked you."
"What has changed since then?"
"Nothing, it just turns out, you aren't my type."
"I see," she took another sip of her coffee, "well, in that case you may leave just be warned that you WILL regret it."
Damon stared at the young lady across from him, she is crazy. He reached into his wallet and placed a twenty on the table, "This should cover the breakfast, bye."
Leia smiled, "See you soon Damon."
Bonnie headed to her car; breakfast had been awkward because she had to constantly reject Liam's advances. She decided that if Liam changed and worked on his issues she might give him a chance but she was in no mood to play mother especially since she had to be counselor to Damon. Damon, she gritted her teeth, why the hell did he tell everyone about her knowing where he was, when he told her to keep it a secret? Because Damon is a bastard, that's why.
She opened her car door and slid into the driver's seat, as she was about to close the door she saw a being flash in front of her.
"Damon, what the hell do you want?" she spat.
"Wrong, vampire darling," Klaus said, "should I be concerned that you thought I was the Salvatore?"
Bonnie looked up and sure enough the hybrid was standing in front of her, "Niklaus."
"Bennett," he smiled.
"To what do I owe this displeasure?"
"You wound me love, after all am I not your biggest fan?"
Bonnie let out a deep breath, "I am not in the mood Klaus."
"Just checking up on my favorite witch," he said smiling, "are you still trying to cure Elena?"
"Ah, it makes sense now, you want to make sure that I find a way to get you new hybrids!" she exclaimed, "you know Klaus, your constant need for company and people to adore you is quite unsettling."
"I like to be adored, and I need something to play with!"
"There is nothing in Mystic Falls for you to play with, why don't you just leave? Kol, Elijah and Rebekah have."
"I like Mystic Falls, there is certain scenery here that I can't get over."
Bonnie rolled her eyes, why he was obsessed with Caroline, she would never know, "Klaus, darling, Caroline doesn't want you."
"Who was speaking about Caroline," he said with a wink, he sped to the other side of her car door, "Let's go to the woods."
Bonnie closed her car door and began her journey to the woods. Upon their arrival, Klaus led her to the old abandon witches' house. He told her that he needed her help doing a spell and he promised to stay out of her hair until she was needed again. Even though the truce meant that Bonnie was essentially a slave to Klaus' witchy needs, it ensured that her friends were safe.
"What will this spell do?"
"Locate a few things, I've lost."
"Somehow I think, you don't really need me and just want to be in my company."
"I like your company very much yes, but alas this is to help me find my siblings."
"Aww, are you going to apologize?"
"Yes, I miss them terribly."
"You poor unfortunate soul," she laughed as she continued the spell.
Klaus watch as Bonnie did the spell that would allow him to be reunited with his siblings. The old witches' house was where they were together for the last time. That day will always be known as the day he lost almost everything, his siblings walked out on him, Caroline openly showed her distaste and his hybrids had died. He had bartered with the witch though, he had held two stakes to the heart of Elena and Caroline, she promised to always help him as long as her friends were free to come and go as they pleased. Naturally he had accepted, after all the witch was a direct descendant of Ayanna and held great power in her hands.
Bonnie stood and watched Klaus lost in his thoughts, she cleared her throat and began, "Done."
"Thank you, love," he smiled, "See you in a few months."
Bonnie watched as Klaus sped away, deep into the woods. She sighed deeply and walked towards her car. Is the day over yet?
Damon entered the house visibly upset. He headed for the bottle of gin and poured himself a drink. What the fuck though? He walked over to the sofa and sank into the sofa. He began drumming his fingers, he was on edge. First that conversation with Elena, then that conversation with psycho bitch girl, Leia.
He got up and walked to the book stand scanning the shelves for a book to read. What was Elena's deal? He already knew that it was Stefan and that it would always be Stefan. Was she trying to justify her actions to him? He scanned by Wuthering Heights and contemplated taking it up. I just don't get it, unless, he paused for a second. Maybe what she was trying to say is that I'm the one she wants but Stefan just happens to be the choice because he's done so much for her. Damon leaned his forehead against the book stand. Fuck, Damon! Don't go there.
Damon looked up and saw the title of a book, 'It's Called A Break-up Not A Breakdown: Get over the big one and change your life-for good!' He smiled, just what I needed. He took his cell from his pocket and texted Bonnie.
Damon: Hi Bonnie :)
Damon waited a few minutes for a response. He checked his clock and realized that twenty minutes had gone by and she still hadn't replied.
Damon: Elena spoke to me today.
Damon smiled; he knew that Bonnie would feel almost obligated to answer his text now.
Bonnie: Fuck you, Damon.
Damon: Where? ;)
Bonnie: -_-
Damon laughed and headed to the sofa, drink in hand. He took a sip and placed the glass on his coffee table.
Damon: I'm sorry for calling you out.
Bonnie: Why did you do that MORON?! I fucking kept your secret and you threw me under the bus!
Damon: no need to be such a drama queen, Bon.
Bonnie didn't reply. Damon was becoming frustrated; she always makes things more difficult than they have to be.
Damon: I genuinely am sorry Bonnie, I thought it'd be cool and to show the others that we were becoming friends.
Bonnie: whatever.
It wasn't an 'I accept your apology' but coming from Bonnie it was the next best thing.
Bonnie: What did Elena say?
Damon paused, should he tell her everything that Elena said? Or just his theory of what he had suspected she meant. Damon decided to tell her a summary.
Damon: she spoke about why Stefan was her choice and I think she was trying to say that she choose Stefan because she felt he deserved her.
Bonnie: Damon …
Bonnie: Don't go there please.
Damon: You don't understand Bonnie, she got jealous that I brought a girl back to the house and everything and the look in her eyes.
Bonnie: Even if she chose him because she felt it was the 'right thing' to do, you were not her choice.
Damon: I know, but I could be.
Bonnie: Damon, YOU. ARE. NOT. HER. CHOICE.
Damon clenched his jaw when he read Bonnie's last text. He knew she was right and that he was just probably grasping at straws. It hurt to hear the truth sometimes, but he needed this and that was why he had texted Bonnie in the first placed.
Damon: Thanks, I needed that.
Bonnie: I told you Damon, I'm going to be there to whip you into shape, trust me.
Damon: I know and I do trust you but what if I waited long enough? I could be her choice.
Bonnie: Yeah, you could be, but that would be AFTER Stefan.
Damon gripped the phone tightly in his hand. His vampire veins and teeth started to show. He looked down when he felt his phone vibrate,
Bonnie: Wouldn't you rather be someone's first and only choice?
Damon stared at the message. He had always been second to Stefan and would always be in the case of Elena. Bonnie's last text resounded in his heart; yes he would rather to be someone's first and only choice. Damon smiled; once again the witch had helped him.
Bonnie slammed her door shut and walked into her kitchen to get a drink. She had spent the last ten minutes parked in front of her house texting Damon. Why on earth would Elena do that? She was going to have to have a talk with Elena as well she decided. Bonnie entered her kitchen and was startled when she saw Caroline sitting on the counter with a box of chocolate in her hand.
"Bon Bon, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to get upset, I was just stressed," Caroline said handing her best friend the box of chocolate, "forgive me?"
"Nope," Bonnie replied with a smile and both girls started laughing.
Caroline hugged Bonnie and Bonnie returned her hug. The girls could never stay mad at each other and it was the thing that Bonnie valued the most in their friendship. There was a time when you could easily say that Bonnie and Elena were closer friends than Bonnie and Caroline but things had changed since then. Elena had become preoccupied with the brothers and even though Caroline usually had her own problems she still made time for Bonnie.
"So you were parked for ten minutes before you came in why?" Caroline asked her.
She contemplated lying but she knew Caroline would be able to detect the lie so she went with the truth instead, "I was texting Damon."
"Oh," Caroline said with a smirk.
"Don't give me that look!"
"What look?" Caroline said feigning ignorance.
"THAT look," Bonnie said laughing, "There is nothing going on between Damon and me."
"I didn't say anything Bon," Caroline said smiling, "Maybe it's your conscience!"
"He needs a friend Caro."
"Ok, well I guess if you do end up liking him, it'll be nice to not hear, I don't know who I like or what I want," Bonnie hit Caroline playfully on the arm.
"Care!" Bonnie said laughing and feigning offense on behalf of her friend.
"Come on, how annoying was it to hear her complain about which brother to choose?"
"I don't know how I feel," Bonnie said mocking Elena.
Caroline sat on the stool near the island, "Damon consumes me, but Stefan is my eternal love."
Bonnie smiled. It was nice joking around with Caroline; she had missed this during these past few months. Bonnie opened her refrigerator and offered Caroline some chips and dip.
"No thanks, I'm full," Caroline said with a wink.
"So have you figured out a solution to our transportation problem?" Bonnie asked placing the dip back in the fridge.
"No but I will, we still have a week left right?"
"Yes, we still have a week left," Bonnie said smiling.
Keep your hand in my hand, and your heart on your sleeve.
