Chapter 10
"No!" "Brake!" "Gas!" "Gah! You're driving five miles an hour! People walk faster than this!" "This isn't a school zone! Drive faster!"
"DAMON! I CAN'T FOCUS WITH YOU YELLING IN MY EAR!" Bonnie finally snapped. She looked at him with frazzled eyes. He looked surprised.
Bonnie pulled over before Damon could say something like, "You're not even looking! The blind can't drive!" The car rang in silence.
When the car was safely in park, Bonnie rubbed the bridge of her nose, saying, "This is the reason I didn't learn to drive. My sister tried teaching me and did the same thing."
Damon was quiet for a few minutes before rubbing his face with a half laugh. Sorry. I didn't realize I was doing it. I've never let anyone else drive my car. It's nerve-wrecking."
Bonnie raised both eyebrows. "Ha! You're talking about nerve-wrecking?"
Damon laughed. "Touché." Both occupants sat quietly again, wondering when this nightmarish day was going to end. Then Damon spoke up. "Okay. Here's the plan. When I start yelling, you can hit me."
Bonnie was tempted by the thought of hitting Damon, but one thing stopped her. "No."
"Why not?"
"Because you're in my body. I'll be bruising my own body."
"Ah…" Damon hadn't thought of that. "Okay…then…you can hit my body."
"How's that gonna help. Hitting you is to get your attention. Plus, I'm in your body right now! I don't want to hit myself."
"Right." The car lapsed into silence. "Well." Damon opened his mouth. "We'll just settle for you yelling my name."
"Okay." Bonnie started the car. "Let's get this over with."
By the time they reached the McCullough house, Bonnie said Damon's name at least twenty times. Exhausted, Bonnie parked and turned off the car. "Finally!" She breathed.
Damon smiled. "Come on, it wasn't that bad." Bonnie shot him a look. "Okay, maybe it was."
Bonnie rested her head on the steering wheel. "So. Just lock yourself in the room. Grams usually doesn't mess with me when my door's locked."
"Without dinner?" Damon asked.
Bonnie lifter her head and shot him a bland look. "I'm being serious right now Damon."
"Okay okay…but I'm kind of hungry." Damon said, this time, he sounded genuinely surprised. Bonnie guessed it was because as a vamp, you didn't get hungry like that.
Bonnie sighed and rolled her eyes. "Fine. Eat. Then lock yourself up."
Damon chuckled. "Sounds like you're talking to dog."
Bonnie was too tired to rant, so she let out a sarcastic "Ha."
Damon chuckled as he got out. Bonnie was still telling him many things not to do before he closed the door. She rolled down the window and Damon put both thumbs up. "Don't worry. I'll be on my best behavior. I promise."
Bonnie paused in what she was going to say, and then her shoulders sagged. "Fine. I'll believe you."
With that, Damon walked into the McCullough house. Only when he was on the other side of the closed front door, and he heard the car start and back out did he realize Bonnie was driving away with his precious car. That alone worried him.
Cazzo.
"Bonnie, is that you?" Grams' voice floated to him from some other part of the house.
"Yes it's me Grams." He answered, hoping to be able to mimic Bonnie's attitude and way of talking. Damon was hoping that they would find the solution to their problem soon because it was exhausting keeping up a façade like this. Acting in front of Grams and Stefan was tiring enough without even acting in front of others.
"Oh good, I was just finishing up dinner. Come sit down at the dining table." Damon followed her voice to a very homey kitchen. The cabinets and counters were all polished oak wood. An island sat in the middle of the kitchen. Grams was at the electric stove, stirring something in a pot. She smiled when he entered. "Go on, sit down." She nodded towards the table Damon hadn't seen before off to the side of the kitchen underneath a small metal chandelier.
The food was served, and Damon took no time in digging in. He'd forgotten this feeling, of eating like this, nourishing himself this way. The food tasted so good to him. Unconsciously, Damon moaned. Grams chuckled. "Well, I'm glad you're enjoying your meal."
Cheeks full, he cleared his throat before swallowing. "It's good. I haven't eaten all day."
Grams looked at Damon with wide eyes. "All day? Did you forget to eat or something?"
Damon scratched the back of Bonnie's head. "Uhhh. Something like that?" He answered sheepishly.
Grams chuckled. Damon took another bite of his food, but regretted it after Grams asked her next question.
"So, what do you think of Damon?"
Damon nearly coughed on his food, most of it spewing all over the place. He recovered and looked at Grams, trying to figure out how much this old lady knew. After a moment, he said "Didn't I tell you already?"
Grams looked a little surprised before settling back down, looking gentle as ever as she captured his left hand. "All you said was that you two weren't friends. You never told me what you thought of the young man."
Damon looked at Grams, trying to think about how Bonnie would respond to this. "Well..." He searched. How exactly did Bonnie see him in her eyes? "He's a Jackass" popped out. She'd called him that the last time he saw her two years ago.
Grams eyes got big, her face showed an expression of shock. "A...Jackass?"
Damon looked around. "Uh...yeah...?" He tried not to say it as though it was a question, but failed miserably.
"Why do you think...he's that?" Grams asked, still looking disbelieving.
"Um." Damon didn't know what to say, so he stood, taking his plate with him. "I'm finished. I'm going to my room."
If Bonnie had been beside him, she'd say, "This is precisely why I told you to go straight to my room!"
Damon...Damon Damon Damon...when will you learn that Bonnie's always right?
Lol.
So...happy early valentine's day my lovelies. :D
