"Why are you doing this?" Serena's question brought Damon's attention away
from her neck and to her face. "Excuse' What?" Shaking her head Serena
gestured towards Bonnie and Alex. "Why are you trying to make her
jealous?" Damon's laughter was rich and husky as he narrowed his eyes,
taking in the image of Bonnie resting her head on Alex's shoulder. "I am
not trying to make her jealous. What ever gave you that idea?" Shrugging
off his arm she turned to face him. "It's just that I saw the way you were
looking at her while you two were dancing.
Giving her a dazzling smile he dropped the piece of hair he had been toying with. "You are mistaken, Bonnie and I are just..friends. " To his own ears the statement didn't quite ring true. Shrugging Serena gave him a small smile as she took his hand. "Fine, whatever you say." Giving her hand a little squeeze his gaze traveled once to her throat. "Why don't we find somewhere we can be alone. You know, get to know each other better." Serena gave him a curious look but allowed him to lead her away from the dance floor to a shaded area away from prying eyes. Attempting to use his powers on her he pulled her closer but was surprised when she pulled away. "What do you think you're doing? If you wanted to feed off me all you had to do was ask. Damon was stunned for once into silence. Shaking his head he raised a quizzical brow. "What?"
Rolling her eyes Serena lent up against a nearby tree and looked at him. "I'm majoring in Parapsychology at my college and I happen to be a practitioner of Wicca. I came to this town for two reasons, the festival and the rumors I've heard about this place." Smirking Damon crossed his arms and glanced around to make sure there wasn't anyone around to over hear their conversation. "So how did you know? When did you know?" Looking down Serena kicked at a nearby pinecone, sending it flying toward Damon who in turn stopped it with his own foot. "I felt you try to use your powers on me when you came up to the crafts booth." Pulling out a piece of vervain from her satchel she sniffed it then placed it back in her bag. "Brought it just in case." Damon had to admit he was oddly impressed and dropping his arms to his side he stepped closer to her, bracing one hand beside her head. "And still you decided to walk with me to the dance floor and allowed me to take you away from the crowd. Why?"
Giving him an impish grin she looked up into his dark eyes. "Well I couldn't pass up a chance to get to know an actual vampire, being a student of the Paranormal and all. Plus you happen to be one of the sexiest men out here." Damon couldn't deny the truth, he was the best looking man at the festival but what Serena had just told him still shocked him. Reaching out Serena tugged on the front of his doublet. "So are you hungry or not? Don't worry I won't fall all over you afterwards. Besides you're not my type and you have a thing for Bonnie."
Damon's eyebrows shot up and he couldn't cover up his expression of mild irritation. Shaking his head he replied, "I don't have a thing for Bonnie." Further conversation was forgotten as Serena tilted her face up and pushed her auburn hair to the side, exposing her creamy white neck. She smelled of lavender and rosemary as he lowered his lips to her throat. Images of Bonnie began to pass through his mind and pushing Serena away he turned his back on her. "What's wrong?" Her voice seemed to come from far away and Damon had to fight really hard not to laugh at her concern. Turning back toward her he saw her shrink back at the dark expression on his face. "I keep thinking about Bonnie. I shouldn't have left her alone with Alex. She's my responsibility today." A satisfied smile appeared on Serena's face as she fixed her hair. "See I told you that you have a thing for Bonnie. You won't even take a freely given meal." Growling in frustration Damon ran a hand through his hair. "I do not have a thing for her I just don't feel comfortable leaving her alone with a guy she barely knows."
He was beginning to doubt himself and that didn't please him at all. Usually a girl just asking to be bit would have been the greatest thing to him but it just didn't feel right. 'I am not going to start feeding off of animals like my sissy of a brother.' He swore to himself as he looked towards the festival. "We better get back. I want to keep an eye on those two, make sure she doesn't get into any trouble. Heaven knows she's good at that." Shrugging Serena linked her arm through his and smiled up at him. "What ever you say." Damon was silent as he led her back to the festival and towards the bonfire. Bonnie and Alex were right where they left them and how they left them, with Bonnie's head on Alex's shoulder. 'This has got to stop.' Damon thought darkly as they came to a stop in front of bench. "I see they're about to light the bonfire." He mused out loud as he took the seat on Bonnie's other side, releasing Serena's arm in the process. He saw Bonnie's gaze travel to Serena's neck and was surprised to see a hint of relief in her beautifully fair features.
Stretching he placed his arm behind Bonnie on the bench, ignoring the glare he got from Alex. "So how much longer do you want to stay?" Looking up Bonnie gave him a half smile. "I don't know maybe another hour, I heard they're having this fighters contest, who ever wins is the head cheese of the after party and he gets to pick a girl to belly dance for him. I thought it might be fun to watch. They're actually letting girls try for the spot to. I'd love to see a guy all decked out in belly dancing cloths, with all those scarves and bells." The image of belly dancers to Damon were pleasing but the image of a guy belly dancer was a bit unsettling and he kind of felt sorry for any guy that might get picked tonight.
End of Chapter Nine.. (I know I know, it took me a while to get this one up. Haven't been feeling all that well lately, been sleeping a lot. ~sigh~. well I hope this one was just as enjoyable as the last. As always comments are welcomed even negative ones.)
