Days later Enzo made his way to the boarding house. He had not seen much of Bonnie at all since the day that she moved the last of her things out of his cabin. As she walked out with her remaining items, she gave him a polite good luck and that she hoped one day that he could find someone else that he could love and that would love him. She didn't hold any ill will towards him despite the fact that their break up had ended up in a nasty argument. Then Enzo grumbled to her a Thanks and she left.
Since that time he hadn't seen or spoken to Bonnie much. He guessed that she wanted to give him some space for him to get over the break up. But, as the days passed by Enzo found himself wanting to see her and speak to her more and more. He was so used to having her as his girlfriend and having her around the cabin, that the cabin felt empty inside without her around and he missed the feelings that she provided for him when she showed him attention and affection. Bonnie had helped eased all of the years of abandonment and rejection and it's affect on his self esteem and security. He finally felt like he found that woman to give him the love and approval that he so desperately needed, but now she had ended the relationship with him and he was back to that man who felt insecure and rejected.
Now he had to rest his hopes on finding a way to keep Bonnie in his life somehow. That he could talk to her and that they could be on good terms agains despite their break up. Maybe Bonnie would be his friend and maybe there could be a chance that they would get back together with time. Couples broke up to make up and get back together all of the time. So, perhaps if he played his cards right then Bonnie would reconsider and get back into a romantic relationship with him. That's what Enzo was holding onto.
He had tried calling Bonnie a couple of times that day on her cell phone but she wasn't answering him. That's why he was going to the boarding house. Even if she didn't tell him he knew that she would go there, after she didn't have a place to stay once she moved out of the cabin. Walking up to the door Enzo rang the doorbell. Expecting Bonnie or Damon to answer, but hoping that it was Bonnie so that he could get right to talking with her.
It wasn't either of those two. Instead it was Stefan. Stefan looked over him. "Enzo?"
"Yes, Stefan, is Bonnie here I would like to speak to her." Enzo started out.
"Sorry, but Bonnie isn't here." Stefan shook his head.
Enzo was disappointed. "That's too bad. When she comes back from wherever can you tell her that I would like to talk with her?"
Stefan leaned against the doorframe. "I don't quite understand. Bonnie's not here. As she is not in town, not in Mystic Falls anymore. I don't even think that she is in Virginia anymore."
"What? She left town?" Enzo questioned.
"She left town." Stefan confirmed.
"When?" Enzo frowned.
Stefan glanced at his watch. "About four days ago."
Enzo questioned. "For what?"
Stefan knew that Bonnie had dumped Enzo and so this news might not set well with him. Then again Stefan really didn't care about how the British vampire felt. "She left town with Damon."
"Why with him? Is there some sort of trouble?" Enzo asked.
"No." Stefan sighed at all of the questions that Enzo had. "There is no trouble. Everything is fine. They just decided to leave town…..for fun. It was sort of a spontaneous decision between them and together they just decided to leave."
Enzo paused to gather up this information and process it. "Have any idea where they are going to?"
Stefan shrug. "Nope, they're just traveling around. Damon told me that they were just going wherever the wind took them. I can't blame their reasoning, especially with everything that has happened recently, with Rayna, the stone and the huntress curse. They just needed a break from the hell that all of the Supernatural has brought to this town. So, I can understand their sudden decision."
"That seems fair. I know that Bonnie's been through a lot. Have any idea when they will be back then?" Enzo wanted to know.
"Uh…..I don't think that they ever plan on coming back here. At least not anytime soon." Stefan answered.
"What?" Enzo was taken aback.
Stefan watched as it started to dawn on Enzo. "Damon said that they decided not to come back to Mystic Falls. At least not for a very long time. They're looking for a fresh start away from this place."
Enzo blinked. "Bonnie's….moving?"
"Right." Stefan thought about how this must have been shocking news to Enzo on top of the fact that her and Bonnie had recently broken up. "But, Bonnie is safe and she is okay that's what you need to know. Maybe she will talk to you when she gets ready and explain it to you herself. But, that's all of the news that I have on her."
"Oh…..well Thanks for letting me know." Enzo said.
Stefan returned. "Yeah, I have to get back inside, Caroline needs me for something. Is there anything else that you need?"
Enzo answered. "That will be about all."
Stefan said. "Okay, then bye."
Enzo didn't say bye back instead just stood frozen to the spot.
So Stefan just closed the front door with an arched eyebrow.
Taking a step backwards Enzo turned around and went back to his car. He got into the driver's seat but didn't bother starting up the engine. Instead just staring ahead at the boarding house with a blink expression on his face. Any hopes that he had on getting back on good terms with Bonnie was not only dashed for the day but may have been dashed for a while. And she left town without in telling him that she was leaving town.
The bad news was that she had planned to leave Mystic Falls for a long time and may not ever come back. That meant that if he was ever going to see Bonnie again that he would have to go to wherever she was going to and he had no idea of where that was. Worst of all she was with Damon. Of course she was with Damon. Enzo wondered what Damon could have said to convince Bonnie to leave town with him. Knowing Damon Salvatore Enzo could picture Damon eagerly jumping on the opportunity to take Bonnie away as soon as they broke up. His grip tightened on the steering wheel so much that his knuckles turned white.
What could Damon be doing with Bonnie now? Of course she would agree to go with him. Bonnie was so loyal to Damon and willing to follow him to the ends of the earth. Seems like Damon was back to being the number one man in Bonnie Bennett's life. Taking a breath Enzo forced himself to release his grip on the steering wheel. He had to let these thoughts and insecure feelings about Bonnie's relationship go. If he ever was going to get another chance with her he knew that thinking these things would only cause another slip of the tongue and that he would end up insulting Bonnie again because of that.
Afterall he was her boyfriend at one point at least and Damon was just her so called best friend. Enzo had to remind himself of that. He started up his car. Wherever Bonnie was going he had to find her and he hoped that he eventually did.
BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK
After a small time jump.
They had been on there road trip traveling for nearly three months now. Still with no permanent destination in mind and still going wherever the wind took them. Starting their way into West Virginia they slowly and gradually made their way west driving in Damon's camaro. Making their way through West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas and taking their time doing so as they were in no rush.
Along the way stopping and staying everywhere from the biggest cities to the smallest of towns. To the middle of nowhere rural areas. They visited the best of the tourist attractions along the way and did whatever they wanted to. The two of them would take turns driving his camaro so that neither would get too tired out with all of the driving. And it would both please and amuse Bonnie that he would let her drive it, because she knew how he was when it came to his car. He didn't mind her driving it though as a matter of fact he thought that she made quite the picture, especially when the top was down and she had her sunshades on and the wind blowing through her hair.
They would spend two or three days at this place and then four or five days at another place as they had made their way west. They spent the night at motels and hotels always booking rooms that had two beds. A couple of times they even spent nights out in the wilderness camping out in their at camping sites.
And the both of them were having the time of their lives. They were bonding with each other and getting closer each day. The hell of Mystic Falls already seemed a million miles behind them now. Bonnie was very much enjoying her time traveling out on the road with Damon by her side. She was happy and carefree and living free as a bird. Between what har grams and her father have left behind for her and what she has saved up on her summer jobs, between summer vacation from school she had close to over forty thousand in the bank. More than enough to be comfortable and support herself until she got a job at wherever she and Damon decided to move to.
She only practiced magic for fun or to keep up her strength and her skills and to learn new spells. But, she was so relieved to not have that stress of having to have her magic to save the day or to have to learn a new spell with someone's life on the line. That Bonnie was no more. She was having a wonderful, carefree life at the moment.
It made Damon so happy and overjoyed to see her this way. For too long he had been around to witness the stress and the heartbreak and the pain that she had to go through. Seeing her have a whole new lease on life it was so refreshing and if there was anyone who deserved a second chance at life it was Bonnie Bennett. He looked forward to waking up each morning wondering which adventure they would go on next.
As for he himself he felt like he has a new lease on life also. He couldn't quite describe the words, but he knew that he felt freer and more light come into his life. He was happy and he was having fun and seemed to be smiling more at this point than at any point that he had in his life before. And right now he and his witch were inseparable, so everything was going good.
Once they explained why they left Mystic Falls to Stefan and Caroline, both Stefan and Caroline understood and supported their decisions. Damon talked to Stefan everyday on the phone to keep him up to date on what was going on. Bonnie kept in contact with Caroline through the phone and through their social media pages and Bonnie would send Caroline pictures of her adventures and Caroline would comment on how cute Bonnie looked or that she was glad that her friend was having fun. And Stefan and Caroline said that they would visit the two of them whenever they moved to their permanent home.
After three months of traveling west they were now in a medium sized town in Oklahoma and they were going to Texas for their next state visit. It was on a Thursday late afternoon when they were driving through the Oklahoma town and when they decided that it was the next place that they would stop at and stay for a few days. But, when they tried to book themselves in the motels and hotels around they found that all of them were filled up with no rooms to offer. So far they went to the three hotels and the four motels in the town, but had no luck in finding a room.
So they got back into the car to see if there was any where else that they could stay in the town.
Bonnie was searching through her phone and looked it up on google. "There is one more motel here and it looks nice from the online pictures. It's about ten minutes away from here."
Damon spoke. "Alright, we will check that out and if that's filled too we will just have to see what's in the next town over."
"Okay." Bonnie nodded. "I wonder why all of the hotels and motels around here are booked though."
"Me too." Damon agreed.
She told him the directions to that motel from her phone and soon they pulled into the parking lot of the two story motel and Damon parked his car. Before they got their bags out of the car they wanted to make sure that there was a room available, so together they walked inside of the motel.
Inside the small, but neat lobby there were a few chairs in the waiting area, an ice machine, a snack vending machine and a vending machine for drinks. Then there was the motel clerk sitting behind the counter and reading some Archie comic's. When she saw Damon and Bonnie approaching she put the comic down and got to her feet.
"Yes, how may I help you?" The clerk asked.
"We're looking for a room and ran out of luck in all of the other spots that we have been to." Damon stated. "Please tell us that you have a room here."
"Yeah, please tell us." Bonnie put in.
The clerk turned to her computer screen and tapped on a few keys. "We're fill too, but you got here just in time as we have one more room open."
"Excellent!" Bonnie exclaimed.
Damon went without hesitation. "Nice, we'll take it."
The clerk responded. "Great, I'll just register the two of you in right now."
They gave the clerk the information that she needed and she typed it in booking the room for them.
"Is there a reason why all of the hotels and motels around here are filled?" Bonnie asked.
"There is. It isn't always this way around here." The clerk answered. "But, around this time every year there is a popular music festival that is held on Friday's and Saturday's and people come from all around and everything gets booked."
Bonnie was curious. "Really, where is this music festival held?"
The clerk replied. "At our local park."
"Sounds like it could be interesting and fun." Bonnie said.
"Since we are here anyway we should go and check it out." Damon added.
"We should." Bonnie agreed.
"You'll love it if you do." The clerk said. "Well your room is all set for you." She handed them the key to the room.
Bonnie took the key. "Thanks."
Damon turned to her. "Why do you go to the room, I'll get our bags out of the car."
Bonnie asked. "You don't need any help with that?"
Damon gestured. "Nah you go ahead. I can make one than one trip to the car if I have to."
"Alright." Bonnie returned.
Damon went out towards the car and Bonnie went to the room which was on the second floor. Turning the lock she opened the door and stepped inside. Looking around she surveyed the room.
A couple of minutes later Damon stepped in with their luggage bags and set them aside. "How is it?"
"Not bad." Bonnie replied. "It's clean and better than some of the other motels that we stayed in."
The dark haired vampire's eyes scanned the room. It was indeed clean but he also noticed something else. "Look at that."
Bonnie furrowed her brows. "What?"
He pointed.
She followed where he was pointing to the neatly made up bed, with crisp and clean sheets. "It's a bed, what's so amazing about that?"
"It's the only bed that this room has." Damon explained it to her.
Then it suddenly dawned on her. For all of the other hotels and motels that they stayed in they had two beds for each of them to sleep in. But, this was the first one where there was only one bed. "Oh, that."
"Yeah, that. Looks like we're going to have to share a bed, judgy." Damon was amused.
"Guess that we will…...there's no other room left around this town." An expression came up over Bonnie's face.
"The two of us have never shared a bed before." Damon pointed out.
Bonnie rubbed at her chin. "Guess that there is a first time for everything."
Damon suggested. "Unless you're uncomfortable with that and I could sleep on the floor."
Bonnie returned. "Don't be silly. I wouldn't want you to sleep on the floor and with as close as we are I'm more than fine with sharing a bed with you."
"Is that so, you're fine with sharing a bed with me." Damon smirked.
"Yeah." Bonnie said with a playful roll of her eyes at his tone.
"Cool, then we'll be sleeping in the same bed for as long as we stay here." Damon commented.
"Should be interesting." Bonnie stated.
Damon repeated. "Should be interesting."
Bonnie went on. "As for now I'm starving, the only thing that I had to eat so far today was that honey bun from this early morning."
He himself has had a blood bag about an hour ago as they were on the road. So as far as his vampire self went he was well fed for now. He had keep a cooler, filled with ice and blood bags in the trunk of his camaro and had refreshed the supply every now and then by going to the hospitals or clinics as they have traveled around. But, no matter what he always made sure that she had plenty to eat as they were on the road.
"We'll go out and see where you want to eat." Damon told her.
"That works for me." Bonnie said.
BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK
After a late lunch at the local hot dog shop, they went a couple of blocks down and checked out a large arcade building that was filled with a great variety of arcade games. They decided that this place looked fun so decided to stick around for an hour or two before they headed back to their motel.
The spot seemed like a popular high out spot for high school and college kids in the area. Sort of like how the Mystic Grill was a hangout spot back in Mystic Falls. The building was packed with people roaming around playing the different arcade games. And the crowd seemed split between Sooner fans and Oklahoma State Cowboys fans.
The witch and her vampire enjoyed playing so arcade games together and Damon especially had fun playing all of the driving and racing games. Then after a while of playing he decided that he wanted to take a break, while Bonnie wanted to play more.
So, he sat back at a table as she found a Street Fighter type of game that she wanted to play. She had really gotten into the game after over ten minutes of playing it. And it turned out that she was really good at the game as well. Damon was impressed from where he sat as she watched her make it through the stage of fighter's the next level of fighter getting more difficult than the last. The expression on Bonnie's face was very concentrated as she focused on the complicated moves, smashing the buttons with her fingers as if she had been playing that game all of her life.
Damon wasn't the only one impressed with how well she was playing. A small crowd had gathered around her watching and cheering her on as she made her way through the fighter's. Damon's lips curved into a half smile. That was Bonnie Bennett for you no matter where she went or what she did she always had the ability to draw people in and make them see the good spirit in her and that lead to them cheering her on.
"Hey, your girlfriend is pretty skilled at that game." Commented a male voice.
Looking from what Bonnie was doing to see who had spoken to him Damon saw a young male, whose dark brown hair was done up in spikes. The male wore a shirt with a motorcycle on it and blue jeans. His arms covered in tattoos of the American eagle and flag.
"She is skilled." Damon returned to be friendly. "But, she's not my girlfriend."
The spiky haired male said. "Oh, my bad I saw the two of you playing racing games earlier and I got that vibe that you were dating."
Damon thought to himself that wasn't the first time that someone had commented on how they thought that he and Bonnie were a romantic item. He could remember back in Kentucky when they ate at the dinner, how the elderly waitress had made a comment about how the two of them made for a lovely young couple. And the blush on Bonnie's face as she explained that he was just her friend.
Thinking back to that moment made Damon smile. "That's okay I consider it a compliment when someone thinks that I would be a lucky enough man to have her as my girlfriend."
"I hear you on that man!" The male offered his hand. "It's Trevor by the way."
Damon didn't always talk to strangers or greet them in return but at the moment he was very relaxed and content. He shook the man's hand. "Damon."
"Damon." Trevor nodded as he got the name. "Are you and your friend here for the Music Festival that starts tomorrow?"
"That's not what we originally entered into this town for, But we found out about it so we plan to attend." Damon stated.
Trevor exclaimed. "Awesome! I'm going to be playing in that festival."
Damon was actually curious. "You're a musician."
Trevor replied. "Yes, I play rock. You know it's not something that I do as a career or profession, even though me and my band do make some money playing at small venues. It's more of something that I do as a hobby and because I love it."
"I see." Damon muttered.
"That redhead cheering on your friend the loudest. She's my girlfriend and she plays in the band with me. Her name is Bailey and she's very excited for us to play at the festival." Trevor added.
Damon took a moment to look over and sure enough there was a redhead with pale skin, cheering on as Bonnie worked the arcade game. And from the looks of it Bonnie might have made a new friend.
Trevor questioned. "Are you into rock?
Damon let him know. "I am."
Trevor returned. "Then I hope that you and your friend enjoy the festival tomorrow. I'll be on the stage looking for you."
"I will make sure that we can watch your band play then." Damon directed.
"Okay, man." Trevor responded.
Damon returned his attention to where Bonnie was playing. She had reached the final stage, the championship match of the arcade game. Against the top skilled boss of the game. The battle was difficult with the boss striking a few blows to Bonnie's fighter. But, she keep her fingers mashing those buttons, with that expression of focus on her face.
And with skill and a little luck her character was able to land a lethal combination of moves. The boss only had a inch of life left and Bonnie just her character's signature move to finish him off. Soon the arcade game beeped and voiced out a congratulations on her successfully defeating the game. And Bailey gave her a pat on the back and a high five.
Then turning in Damon's direction she gave him a grin and a thumbs up and in return he gave her a wink and a thumbs up back.
BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK
Later that night they were in their motel room settling down from a long day. It was another fun day that Bonnie had, but it was after eleven o'clock at night and Bonnie was ready to get into the bed and get some sleep.
However before she got ready to do just that she wanted to ask Damon something. "You did notice that Trevor and Bailey are werewolves right?"
He was going through his duffel bag for something. "I sure did I noticed that a few minutes after I met Trevor. After a while you can tell a supernatural apart from a human."
The two of them had hangout with Trevor and Bailey after Bonnie had finished her arcade game. The four of them had friendly, casual conversation and they have gotten along with Trevor and Bailey quit well.
Going over to her on bag Bonnie got out her pajamas and said. "True, especially when you're a supernatural yourself. You think that they picked up on the fact that we are supernatural too?"
Damon shrugged. "Who knows, wouldn't surprise me if they did. Me being a vampire especially. If they did know they didn't say anything I guess out of the respect of being hidden and knowing that we wouldn't want ourselves exposed."
"Yeah, but they seem like nice and friendly people so I don't think that we have any reason to be on edge around them or anything like that." Bonnie commented.
"You're right, I think that they are safe and cool and we have nothing to worry about when it comes to them." Damon agreed.
Bonnie yawned.
Damon eyed her. "You look like you are ready to get some sleep."
Bonnie told him. "I am, as matter of fact I'm going to go and get ready to sleep right now."
"Good I can use some sleep too even as a vampire." Damon mumbled.
Going into the bathroom she shut the door and brushed her teeth, then proceeded to change into her pajamas.
While she was doing that Damon in the room kicked off his shoes and took off his socks. He liked sleeping barefooted.
Bonnie came out dressed in her PJ's and with her hair tied up into a bun. Pulling back the covers she climbed into the bed and laid her head on the pillow.
Standing there Damon placed at hand on his hip. "That bed looks cozy."
She smiled over at him. "It is."
He smiled back at her.
Patting the bed Bonnie directed. "Why are you over there for? Come on over here!"
Pulling his shirt over his head he approached the bed just in his pair of black jeans. "Fine if that's what you want Bon-Bon!"
Moving over to the side she made room for him.
Climbing in Damon laid down next to her.
She looked over at him. "See, I'm comfortable."
Damon smirked. "I can see that. How long have you had hidden desires of sharing a bed with me?"
Bonnie playfully scoffed. "Please."
"It's alright for you to admit if, I'm a irresistable guy after all." Damon teased.
"Go to bed, Damon." Bonnie laughed.
That earned a chuckle out of Damon.
Cuddling up against him she laid her head on his bare chest and he wrapped an arm around her drawing her close.
"Night." Bonnie whispered.
"Night, little witch." Damon returned in a quiet tone.
They closed their eyes and fell into sleep together.
BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK
She woke up the next morning finding her legs tangled with his. His body was still pressed very closely with hers and she could feel the slight coolness of the skin from his bare chest. She had been sleeping facing him and his face was turned in her direction. His face was so close to hers that she could feel his breath flutter across her nose and lips as he breathed in and out. If she moved her face any closer to his her lips would end up touching his.
A realization that had something like desire stir up inside of her. Bonnie thought that perhaps she should have created some space between them now that she was awake. However she did not move from the position that she was in. She could admit to herself that being snuggled up next to the vampire all night had aided in a peaceful sleep, filled with one good dream after the other. So, instead of moving or getting out of the bed she just laid there and eyed his handsome features.
Suddenly, Damon opened his eyes without warning and looked right into hers. Bonnie was caught off guard by this and was taken aback by how blue his eyes were so up close. They were like an ocean of depthless blue.
He noticed the feeling of her warm body pressed against his and how close they were and especially how close their faces were. Close enough where one lean forward would have them sharing a kiss. This caused his eyes to fall to her lips, as he subconsciously licked his and then he lifted his eyes back to hers giving her his intense staredown.
And the sexual tension in the room was so thick out of the blue, that one could cut it with a knife. Bonnie decided that maybe she should speak. "Morn….." She paused as her voice was hoarse, so she cleared her throat and tried again. "Morning."
"Morning." Damon greeted his tone low and filled with sleep and he kept staring at her.
She stared back at him and for a minute they stayed that way as if both were challenging the other be the first to move. Bonnie was the first to break, she diverted her eyes and edged herself away from his body.
Damon was disappointed, but he knew that the moment as tension filled as it was, was now over with. "How are you feeling?"
Rolling out of the bed, Bonnie stretched out her muscles. "Good. Even though I could use some coffee and a shower."
Damon suggested. "There is a Krispy Kreme down the street. I could go and get use some coffee and donuts for breakfast."
Bonnie nodded. "I like that idea and then I can take a shower and get dressed while you are getting that."
"And I can take my shower once I get back," Damon said. "Then we can get ready for that festival later on."
"I'm up for that." Bonnie stated.
He got out of bed and pulled on his shirt and slipped his feet into his shoes without bothering with the socks. Walking over to her he placed a tender kiss on her forehead as he had often done over the months. "I'll be back as soon as I can with hot coffee and fresh donuts."
"Okay." Bonnie returned.
Grabbing the motel keys and his car keys from the nightstand he exited the room. Closing and locking the door behind him.
Alone in the room for the moment Bonnie picked out what she was going to wear for that day. Got a clean pair of underwear and a bra and went into the bathroom, striping out of her pj's. Grabbing the soap and the washcloth that she had placed in the room the night before, she stepped into the shower and turned it on. Washing herself clean and trying to think of anything else other than the moment that had happened between her and the blue eyed vampire when they woke up that morning.
BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK
They had their fresh donuts and got coffee together in the motel room. Damon had ordered her coffee exactly the way that she liked it and had a blood bag along with his coffee and donuts. After that Damon showered and got dressed in the bathroom. Then they stayed in the motel room and watched tv together until it was time for the festival to start.
The music festival was starting in early afternoon. So, again Damon find his way there by Bonnie telling him the directions on her phone. Even though the event was just starting the parking lot of local park was already full. Once they got inside they started to walk around, looking at what the event had to offer.
There was many forms of entertainment besides the music. Everything from games, to little booths set up selling items, to a petting zoo, and there was even a pie eating contest that was setup to happen later that day. Anyone who wanted to enter had a couple of hours to do so.
There was all sorts of food trucks providing a wide variety of foods. So many where any food lover would feel like they were in heaven. For lunch they stopped at a taco food truck and ate some delicious fish tacos. Then about an hour later they shared a funnel cake together, with a side of chocolate chip ice cream. Bonnie had always eaten healthy to keep up her petite shape. But, there were days that she allowed herself to indulge in sugary and fat filled foods and this was going to be one of those days. She always made up for it by exercising and had found creative ways to exercise and to stay fit as they had traveled over the months.
All throughout the day the festival lived up to it's name on the music part. Different bands and artists played or sung their music on one of the three big stages that was set up around the park. There had been a booklet given out that told people there which band and artists were playing on which stage and when. Music from all different genres were played, so that no matter what type of music that someone was into they got find something to their liking at the festival.
Most of the bands and artists were small time and there were some that was popular and well known among the local crowds and a few that were popular nationwide. Damon and Bonnie were enjoying it so much that they stayed all the way until night time began to fall. It was now eight p.m. and the festival would close down at ten that night, before it would open back up on the next day.
"Ready to go back to the motel yet?" Damon asked her as the walked through the crowd after having a late dinner of pizza and soda.
"Nope, not just yet." Bonnie answered. "Besides Trevor and Bailey's band haven't played yet."
"You're right. We did tell them that we would try to watch them perform." Damon muttered.
"We did." Bonnie confirmed.
Pulling out the booklet from his back pocket Damon looked at it. "They are about to start performing in a few minutes on stage one."
Bonnie glanced at the booklet as he held it. "Then we should head on over."
They made their way over to stage one where there was already a big sized crowd gathered in front of the stage waiting for the performance to start.
"Wow, seems like a lot of people wanted to see their band play." Bonnie observed.
"Sure looks that way." Damon's eyes scanned the crowd.
Because of the amount of people in front of her and because there were a few men in front who were taller than she was, Bonnie couldn't quite get a clear view of the stage. She stood on her tippy toes to try and get a better angle.
Damon saw this and was kind of amused. "Here let me help you out with that."
"How? Are you going to compel your way through the front so that I can get a better view." Bonnie joked under her breath so that only he could hear.
Damon gestured. "Actually I was going to offer to let you sit on my shoulders if you wanted a better view."
Bonnie said. "Oh, are you sure that you can keep me up here for all of this time?"
"I'm a vampire and you're a light weight. I can handle it if you want to do it." Damon pointed out.
"I can sit on your shoulders since you offered." She decided after she knew that she wouldn't be able to see much of the band playing with the taller people in front of her.
"Come on." Damon kneeled down low enough where he could get her on his shoulders.
Carefully she swung one leg over his shoulder and made sure that she was stable before putting her other leg over his other shoulder.
He then made sure that he had a tight and secure grip on her before asking. "Ready?"
She answered. "Yeah."
After he knew that she wasn't going to fall he rose back into his full height, with her perched on his shoulders and her feet dangling at the sides of his chest. And just like he suspected she was very light on his shoulders. For a man like him she barely weighed anything at all.
"Whoa." Bonnie had to get adjusted to the new height from her position, it suddenly felt like she was over six feet tall.
"How is the view up there?" Damon wanted to know.
Bonnie looked ahead. "It's awesome, I can see the stage clearly from here."
Damon explained. "Awesome!"
A short time later, Trevor and Bailey's band arrived onstage to the crowd cheering. Once they quickly introduced themselves they started to play.
Soon Damon and Bonnie discovered that Trevor's band was quite talented at playing the style of rock music that they did. At one point during the first song Trevor and Bailey had spotted them in the crowd and acknowledged them and in return Damon and Bonnie waved back.
People around were head banging, pumping their and dancing to the rock music. Most of the songs performed by the band were originals, so they Bonnie and Damon really did know the words. Still they moved along with the music and went along with the lyrics as best as they could.
By the time that Trevor's band had come to performing the fourth of the five songs that they were suppose to perform that night, Damon had taken Bonnie down off of his shoulders and placed her on his feet. That was so that they could dance to the live rock music together. And that's what they did dancing and laughing and giggling while they did so. Having the time of their lives.
Damon spun her around in a circle before dipping her down and lifting her back up. The space that they were in was tight however, due to the amount of people around them in the crowd. This caused someone behind Bonnie to bump accidently into her making her lose her balance.
Falling forward Bonnie threw her arms around his neck to catch herself. "Oops." She laughed.
He laughed back, "Don't worry, I've got you Bon-Bon."
The person who bumped into her apologized to her, saying that they didn't mean to. Before they moved away,
But, neither of the two seemed to have heard that person apologize or notice. That was because their eyes had locked and now they were staring into each other's eyes, having some major eye sex. Suddenly they had stopped dancing and the smiles had dropped from their faces. The mood had changed from laughter and fun, to a more serious one of desire and want. Even over the roar of the people around them, thanks to his vampire hearing could hear the pace of her heartbeat pick up.
Bonnie looked up into his eyes, not moving her body an inch. The urge to kiss him came on strong and she found herself licking her bottom lip. Even though there were hundreds of people all around them at that time, for that moment Bonnie felt like as if it were just her and Damon in the world. And she just stared at him wondering what she should do.
Damon stared right back at her, he wanted to kiss her and he could see that she wanted to kiss him. He just stood there with her as one was waiting for the other to make the move. Then his eyes fell to her lips that were slightly parted and he decided that he just couldn't hold back anymore.
"The hell with it." Damon said before he grabbed her face and pressed her lips to his.
They may have been in the middle of a group of people at the moment but Bonnie didn't care, she kissed him back with full force.
Her lips were soft and warm against his and he discovered her kiss to be gentle, tender and filled with a little passion at the same time. His dreams have come true and he finally had gotten to kiss Bonnie Bennett. He paused the kiss just to get a look at her.
Deciding that she very much liked the first kiss she ever had with Damon Salvatore, she grabbed her by the collar of his leather jacket and pulled him in and kissed him again and he certainly didn't object to that. And they just and kissed in the middle of the partying and dancing crowd.
BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK
Immediately after that they went right back to their motel room. After their first kiss they no longer have any interest in staying at the festival any longer. Damon drove them back to the motel room as quickly at the speed limit would allow him to. And they both had a couple of things in bed, kissing and perhaps doing things that lead to way more than kissing between them.
Once Bonnie had opened the door to their motel room with her key and opened it, Damon gently pushed her inside and shut the down behind him. Locking it he turned her around and smashed his lips to hers. This time the kiss was more heated and passionate. As their tongue battled with each other. He kept on kissing her and just couldn't stop. He was already hooked onto how she kissed. Bonnie nipped on his lips with her teeth which earned a low growl from Damon.
Then Bonnie had to pull away to get a break. "Wait."
Opening his eyes Damon went. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Bonnie breathlessly replied. "I just need to catch my breath for a minute."
"Sorry, I find your lips irresistible." Damon's curved his lips upwards.
Bonnie smirked. "No, don't apologize you are a very experienced and out of this world kisser Salvatore."
Damon grinned. "Before we go on, I need to tell you something."
"Go ahead." Bonnie gave him a nod.
Taking his both of her hands in both of his hands he started. "You know that I told you that I love you right."
A sparkle came to Bonnie's emerald green eyes. "Of course you have reminded me more than once since we became close again."
Damon decided just to go with it and tell her how he felt. "It's not just that I love you, it's more than that. I'm in love with you.
As his words, Bonnie felt a tug on her heart strings and her heart fill up.
He looked in her eyes with love and sincerity. "And these last few months that I have spent traveling with you and seeing you filled with so much life confirmed how I have been feeling for a while. I've been looking for the right time but now I can honestly say one hundred percent that me, Damon Salvatore is in love with you Bonnie Bennett."
Feeling overwhelmed Bonnie let out a deep breath. "Wow."
"Wow….." Damon paused in a light hearted tone. "I'm not quite sure what to make of that reaction."
Bonnie chuckled. "It's a good reaction trust me."
Damon pumped. "Yes."
"Me too!" Bonnie added.
His eyes scanned her face waiting for her to go on.
She explained to him. "I've been waiting for the right time to tell you too and looking for that right moment. Somehow I never worked up the nerve to do it. But, since you've let me know that you are in love with me now I've gained some courage."
"It my turn to say that I've truly and deeply in love with you, Damon Salvatore. And I've been feeling that way for a long time. But, these months I have spent with you have been some of the best of my life. And there isn't any other person that I would rather be on this earth right now other than you. I can call you my epic type of love." Bonnie finished.
"I don't ever think that I've heard a more beautiful group of words come from someone in my entire life as a vampire on this planet." Damon whispered.
Bonnie smiled at him.
Then Damon said to her. "I can also add in this moment that you witch are the love of my life."
"As you are mine." Bonnie whispered.
"That's why I decided that I had to kiss you tonight and said the hell with it because I couldn't contain what I feel for you anymore." Damon added.
Bonnie ran her finger over his chest. "I would definitely say that the kiss was worth the wait. So, how about we not waste anymore time and you kiss me again."
Damon returned. "That I can do."
They kissed again and the kiss lingered on for a minute before they pulled apart yet again to look each other in the eyes. At that time they didn't speak a word to each other, as their were no words needed. They both knew what they wanted and where they wanted to go from here. And wordlessly agreed that they wanted to go to that next level and take it to the next step with each other. From this moment forward they would be together romantically and as lovers in every possible way.
Maintaining intense eye contact with each other that was filled with equal amounts of lust and want, they slipped out of their shoes and socks. Then proceeded to get rid of their clothes. Getting rid of each piece one by one. Until he was completely naked and she was completely nude except for her panties.
In a tangle of passion and euphoria they fall to the bed together. And he started to use his lips and tongue on her flesh, as she ran her hands over every naked part of his body that she could find. And for minutes there was nothing but the sounds of their heavy breathing and verbal responses of pleasure floating throughout the room.
During that time Damon had shifted into a sitting position with his arms warmed around her waist. Facing him, Bonnie had a straddled his lap, with her legs wrapped around his waist. With her panties still on, she was grinding herself against his nude crotch. Panting and getting wetter and wetter as she dry humped him.
Through the thin barrier of her panties, he could feel the hotness of her heat and her juices that came along with it. The scent of her arousal filled the air and entered into his nose making him hungry for her. Her breast were right in front of his face perfectly round, as her nipples jutted out at him.
Leaning forward he took one into his mouth and sucked on it deeply. Working his tongue around the areola.
A soft moan escaped her lips as she cradled the back of his neck with her hand, encouraging him to go further as she kept humping him.
It reached the point where he was so hard and horny for her that he couldn't take it anymore. Flipping her on her back he moved into a position with him hovering over her body. And ran his fingers down the side of her ribcage, lower and lower until he reached her hips where he hooked a finger into her panties.
She shuddered in response.
Sliding her panties down her legs he removed them until they were off and tossed them carefully over his shoulder. Then grabbed his hardened cock running the tip over the moist lips of her pussy.
Her eyelashes fluttered as even a louder moan escaped her lips.
Snapping his hips forward he entered his length into her in one hard thrust and groaned in desire as her heat, wet heat instantly took a tight hold of him.
Bonnie's mouth gapped open in pleasure as her walls got adjusted to his impressive size.
Starting with a steady pace Damon started to move in and out of her watching her closely as she writhed underneath him. She threw one leg over his waist and began moving with him. Panting and moaning loudly now. The two of them move together in perfect rhythm as they had been made to be together. The sounds of his flesh connecting with hers echoing throughout the room. When he sped up his pace she kept up with him never missing a beat.
Soon they both felt like they were on the verge of cumming and getting closer and closer to that peak with each of his thrusts. Her fingers dug into his back and all she could think about how good that he felt inside of her, so good that words couldn't even explain how much pleasure she was feeling at that moment.
And in return Bonnie Bennett was the only thing that he could think of. How he could feel the magic and the heat coming off of her skin and through her pores swallowing him up. How he could see what he was doing to her and that she was obviously enjoying it. How the walls of her pussy clutched around his hardened length. It overwhelmed him so much that the beast of the vampire came out of him and he could feel veins appearing under his eyes and the fangs extend from his gums.
She saw this and it seemed to turn her on even more and make even more juices flow from her and surround him. She tilted her head slightly to the side to encourage him, exposing the vein of her neck.
Taking the invitation he surged forward sinking his teeth softly into the vein. Automatically the powerful taste of her blood filled his mouth and slid down his throat. And he grunted in appreciation as her electricity entered into his system.
Between the feeling of him being inside of her thrusting and him biting her and drinking her blood, she was taken over the edge and couldn't hold it in. Throwing her head back she cried out in ecstasy as she had an explosive orgasm around him, her breath caught in her throat.
Which signaled him and triggered him off. He said her name in a hoarse moan as he released his seed inside of her. Then in a big gasp of breath he rolled off of her and collapsed down next to her on his back.
For a while they side nothing as they laid on their backs, catching their breaths and gathering themselves as their bodies were covered in a thin coat of sweat.
"Wow...that was amazing." Bonnie spoke.
"Incredible." Damon fully agreed. "I don't know what in the hell took us so long to get here."
"Who knows." Bonnie sighed. "But, we are here now."
Damon turned his head to look at her. "We are!"
Bonnie went on. "I guess other people always saw how we felt about each other before we did."
Damon directed. "That's true. Like that elderly woman at the diner in Kentucky who assumed that we were dating."
Moving over to the side to face him Bonnie added. "Or Virginia."
"Huh?" Damon wondered.
"Back when I was in the mental institution, I had told Virginia about you and she assumed that you were my boyfriend." Bonnie explained.
"She did?" Damon smirked.
"Yes." Bonnie admitted. "Even when I tried to deny it back then I knew that deep down that I was in love with you. That's why I kept your letter for three years because I needed something of you to hold onto while you were away."
Damon confessed. "I have something to confess too. Back when I saw you and Enzo flirting at the cabin. That really bothered me and I wanted to snap his neck and rip his heart out of his chest. Mostly because I was jealous and I wanted to be him, but I didn't though because of you."
Bonnie thought back to that time. "That was a mix between me being in a vulnerable state in my life, a lapse in my judgment and me being stubborn because I knew that you were there and I had to prove to you and myself that I had been fine while you were desiccating. But, that is in my past now."
"What matters now is our present and future together." Damon commented.
"And that no matter what we will always find our way back to each other." Bonnie eyed him.
"Exactly." Damon smiled. "I'm happy, you make me happy."
Bonnie gave him a heartwarming grin. "As you have made me happy."
Pulling her in he gave her a long kiss on the lips. After the kiss he saw that he has stirred up that lust and desire in her and could see that they were both ready for another round. With a quick movement he took a hold on her hips with his hands and flipped her over him.
"You on top this time." He demanded with a growl.
A demanded that she has no problems doing as she lowered herself on top of him.
On Sunday mid morning they were on the road again and headed towards Texas. This time as not just friends but as lovers and a a couple.
