Chapter 7: Moments

These couple weeks has been torture. How was I doing in my high school years to not kiss her or touch her? She drank some vampire blood, so the bruises are gone. Her friends finally convinced her to do so. She look like her old self. I still can see the sadness in her eyes. Kol deserves to die! If I see him one day, I'll kill him. No one knows where is he.

Finally, her magic that was in Ms Cuddles got transported into her soul, yesterday. To make sure I don't siphoned it, I took some of Jo's magic so we can do some activities and practice it. Maybe I'll take her magic permanently and I can see it differently without the Gemini Coven Drama. Every night we cook dinner together, watch some shows and movies. Time to time, I go to my internship at Whitmore Women Center. I wish sometimes she'd come with me. There's a lot of women that got abused. They can help each other. There's one particular women called Lily she has been with her husband Julian, and she just realized how much he was abusive to her and her foster kids. He never laid a hand on her, but he was so manipulative. There's things I'll never understand or her friends. But she said one day not now. I'll be patient.

Yesterday, I was over there all day. We didn't hang out, I've missed her so much. I enter to the house, found her reading the Bennett grimoire in the living room. She was so concentrated into it that she didn't hear me enter. God she's so beautiful! I'll clear my throat. She looked towards me and smiled. "Hey, you are here!" She got up, went to the kitchen. "While you were away, I had time to find and cook a vegetarian lasagna. Hope you are hungry, it's going to be ready soon."

She was in a good mood. She put out the lasagna meanwhile we waited to cool down, we chat a little bit preparing the table to eat. In couple weeks, she change my life completely. I was happy to go home. Before it was different. I didn't want to go home, I preferred to stay at school or work or at a friend's place.

"This is delicious! You've always been a good cook. I've missed it."

"Thank you. I love yours too." She was blushing. Got up trying to take the dishes. I was quicker. "Let me do them, Bon, and after that we will do some exercise if you want."

An hour later...

She was trying to light a candle, the flame couldn't stay lid. She was frustrated. "I thought it will be like a bike, but it seems, I have learn everything again."

"You put too much pressure into it. Remember what you were enjoying about magic. Think about the moments with Grams. Remember when it was just fun and discovery for us. It's part of you, you are a natural."

She close her eyes, probably thinking about what I said, the flame appeared and stay lit. Suddenly she lit up all the candles in the house. She opened her eyes, giggled. Happy! That's the glimpse of Bonnie Bennett, that I know and the one that has my heart. All the feelings that has been bubbling in me for years were in the surface. I couldn't keep it to myself anymore. It was overwhelming. "Bonnie..." She looked at me ardently that it give some hope and courage. "I..." My phone rang it was my alarm. Arggg! Time to go to my internship.

"Already! You have to go!" I didn't want to leave her alone. As if she knew what's on my mind. "Care and Elena are on their way. We will continue this later ok?

"Okay" It's just 2 hours, anyway. We could continue this.

"If you need anything, I mean it call me ok."

"I will"

Kai left, I didn't want him to, but it is what it is. I felt he was about to say something... Something I've been waiting for so long. Maybe I'm imagining things, I saw in his eyes, some yearning for affection. The doorbell rang, that's probably the girls. They have been working out a schedule with Kai to make sure I'm not alone for the last couple weeks. At first I was annoyed, but now I'm happy they did so. I'm feeling better, not a 100%. I think I'll never be like my old self. I'm still thinking about Kol sometimes. I still miss him and worry about him. But been here has been helpful.

"Bonnie, what have you up to?" Care was watching all the candles lit. She smiled. "Someone is on fire!"

"Yes my powers are back! Kai and I were practicing so I can get back to it!"

Elena and Care were looking at each other. "Only practicing?" Elena asked and Caroline giggled.

"Guys, nothing is going on! It's the same way than high school, we are just friends." I couldn't remove the hint of disappointment in my voice.

"It will come Bonnie, you have to be blind to not see you are more than friends each other. Maybe if you give him some signs, he'll do something. I'll bet he will. If Stefan and me are able to be together and we were friends for years. It can happen for you guys too!"

"I agree, give him some signs."

"I'll think about it." Maybe they are right.

We watch some shows and than after they left they had to pick up Stefan and Damon at the airport. They did a trip in Italy.

We were in her room. Talking and watching How I met your mother on Netflix. It was so funny. I could see she was relaxed. I thought it will be a good time to do some levitation exercises. I had some marbles. I started to levitate them.

"Do you remember this"

I gave her some to try too. It took her couple minutes and she was able to. Then she took one of her pillow, removed the feathers.

"And you?"

With her mind, make them float in the air. She was smiling, looking up. How can I forget this Bon? It's the moment I've realized I'm in love with you. But at that time, you were with Baby Gilbert. You looked like an angel that just fell from heaven. Like you are right now.

"Of course I do!"

She laughed earnestly. Her eyes lit up. I couldn't take it anymore, I couldn't hide it anymore. All those years, the feelings I've repressed came with vengeance.

"Bonnie..."

I wasn't able to say the words. I don't know if my facial expression was giving me away, but the feathers felt down. She looked at me with so much love, that my heart jumped with joy. A tear felt into her cheek, slowly I cast it away. I got closer, my lips was hovering hers. She closed her eyes. I kiss her tenderly. It felt like home. This where I belong. I kiss her eyes, cheeks, ears and neck. I wanted to remember this moment, imprinted all the little details in memory. That instant she bring me to life, we were shivering with anticipation.
