Chapter Nineteen
If it hadn't been for the tears and the sincere look in her eyes Damon would have thought she was just saying that to keep from getting stranded at the beach. 'Someone other than my brother and his 'girlfriend' believing in me?' It was almost to good to be true. Looking in her eyes he felt all the anger and tension from the day leave him. "Thank you." He said softly stepping closer and taking her hands in his. Bonnie shook her head a look of mild surprise from the physical contact on her face. "For what?" She asked him as he ran both of his thumbs over her knuckles. "For believing in me. For not looking at me with disgust when you found out about Serena's mother, and for not telling anyone about the whole getting take out from the blood bank thing."
Grinning Bonnie gave his hands a little squeeze. "Hey I didn't say I was going to keep the blood bank thing a secret." Damon's eyebrows shot up and his brow furrowed. "But," she went on, "If it's that important to you, my lips are sealed." For the first time since earlier that day Damon's signature wicked look returned to his face. "Sealed, really?" Releasing one of her hands he tilted her chin up and bent down, stopping a breath away from her lips. Closing her eyes Bonnie took in a shaky breath and replied in a breathy voice. "It's a figure of speech." She smelled of wood smoke and country apples. Being so close to her Damon could hear the beat of her heart as it quickened. "Figure of speech? Then that means they're not sealed. Which means I can." His voice so soft and accented trailed off as Bonnie lifted her face closer to his. "Yes?" She asked him, her eyes still closed.
"Stepping away from her he released her other hand. "Not trust you with my secret." He stated as he tore his gaze away from her dreamy closed eyes expression. Bonnie's eyes snapped open and if Damon had been watching he would have seen the determination in the dark brown orbs. Stepping up to him she grabbed the front of his doublet forcefully causing him to look down at her. "Then I guess you'll just have to seal them for me now won't you?" Bonnie didn't give him time to reply. Standing on her tiptoes she brushed her lips against his. Damon's lips tingled as Bonnie's came in contact with them. He had kissed her before but this time was different because it was her who was kissing him.
Instinctively Damon's arms wrapped around her and pulled her closer as he deepened the kiss. All thoughts of the past day, and of Stefan and Elena vanished from his mind like a puff of smoke. He made a slight noise of protest as Bonnie pulled away, licking her kiss-swollen lips. "Wow." She said softly as he opened his eyes. "Yeah." He replied cupping her cheek with his hand. "That had to have been." She trailed off as he raised a quizzical brow and asked, "What?" Chewing nervously on her bottom lip for a moment she continued on. "The worst kiss I have ever gotten. I know your ancient Italian player ass can do better than that." Damon's eyebrows knitted together before he realized she was just taunting him. Allowing his features to relax he smiled. "Oh really?" Bonnie nodded and opened her moth to say something but he never gave her the chance.
Jerking her forward he lent his face down and capture her lips in a passionate embrace. He felt the surprise leave her body as she clung to him like a drowning woman. Opening his eyes he was the first one to pull away. Turning his back to her he walked down the wooden stairway leading to the beach, leaving Bonnie to stare at his back wide eyed and confused. He knew she would follow him and as he stopped and waited for her he took the time to look at the night sky. It had been so long since he'd actually looked at the stars and allowed himself to consider them beautiful.
