Chapter 8 Out of time

Bonnie sits on the bench next to them saying. "And you most devoted servant forever and ever." Enzo shakes his head sitting next to her. "Servants I've got, what I need is someone I can really talk with." Bonnie nods through she has Caroline and Stefan she feels like she can't fully be herself around them. "You know what I wish? I wi-" Bonnie cuts him off. "You know the problem with most dreamers? They dream about what they want instead of doing something about it." Enzo nods. "Your right." He gets down on one knee in front of her. "May I ask you a question?"

Bonnie catches her breath looking down at him, "Of course." Enzo smiles. "Do you think believe it's possible to meet someone and know in an instant that she's the one?" Bonnie smiles, "It's very possible." Enzo's smile widens. "I feel so strange. Like I'm not myself, but when I'm with you I really am myself. Not the self that I'm expected to be the self that-" He stops himself with a chuckle. "I'm not making any sense am I?" Bonnie shakes her head. "Your making perfect sense and that's what's so scary." Enzo looks up at her puzzled. "Scary? Your confusing and wonderful all at the same time."

Enzo:
Do I love you because you're beautiful?
Or are you beautiful
because I love you?
Am I making believe I see in you
A girl to lovely to
be really true?
Do I want you because you're wonderful?
Or are you wonderful

Because I want you?
Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream,
Or are you really as beautiful as you seem?

Bonnie:
(Maybe you're imagining me. And maybe I'm imagining you, too.)
Am I making believe I see in you
A man to perfect to
be really true?
Do I want you because you're wonderful,
or are you wonderful
because I want you?

Both:
Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream,
or are you really as wonderful as you seem?

At this point they are both standing Enzo has grasped Bonnie's hands in his. He brings both hands to his lips to kiss them than he kissed her temple. "I've always dreamed it would happen like this and now it really has! I don't ever want this night to end." Bonnie shakes her head looking up into his hazel brown eyes. "Neither do I." He kisses her on the cheek hugging her close to him.

Both:
Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream,
or are you really as wonderful as you seem?

They look into each others eyes and Enzo leans down capturing her lips in a slow passionate first kiss. Bonnie feels all warm and fuzzy inside as he kisses her. Enzo is in cloud nine as he teases her lips with his tongue she finally gives him some more access and he moans. They really are caught up in the moment because it seems that Bonnie has forgotten all about the time!

Bing! Bing! Bing!

Bonnie pulls away with a gasp. "I can't stay." Enzo still in a daze says, "What do you mean?" Bonnie dashes back towards the palace. "I have to go." Bonnie says shaking her head sadly. "Stop! Come back I don't even know your name!" He runs into Damon as he rounds the corner trying to catch up with her. "Your Highness what is it?" Bonnie dashes up the steps and out the way she had entered when she first arrived. "Enzo don't let her get away." His father tells him he does not hear what his mother says as he gets to the top of the steps. He is stopped by Katherine. "Your Highness you simply must-" Katherine falls to the floor in her quick haste to catch the Prince's attention. Enzo moves passed her running at full speed to get to the girl.

While that was happening inside Bonnie had just gotten down the steps to see that her gown had turned back into the one that Caroline had made for her she looks behind her before dashing to the gates to see that a carriage has pulled up. "Bonnie, hurry!" She looks to see Caroline. Bonnie hops in the back hiding in the seats as Caroline takes the reins and horses make a fast dash down the hill out of sight of the castle. Bonnie lets out a sigh of relief looking at Caroline with a smile. "Thank you, Caroline." Caroline looks back giving her a smiles, "Your welcome."

Meanwhile Enzo is at the front entrance of his castle not seeing the young woman he had fallen in love with. He turns to go back in to the Castle before looking back.

Enzo:

Do I want you because you're wonderful?

Bonnie:

Or are you wonderful
because I want you?

Both:
Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream,
or are you really as wonderful as you seem?

Enzo looks down to see a shoe made out of glass. He picks it up looking they way she had gone thinking. I will find you, love. He goes back inside seeing Damon who he walks passed and goes straight to his room. His parents know that he wouldn't come back to the ball after that, so they end the ball several minutes after they realize he's was not coming back down.

Caroline pulls the horses to a stop in front of Bonnie's house. Bonnie get's out heading inside with her best friend right behind her. Bonnie changes out of her torn gown and into a purple maid's dress. She brushes her hair and then heads downstairs to talk to Caroline. "So how was it?" Bonnie was not even halfway through the door when she asked that. Bonnie smiles brightly. "It was everything that I had ever dreamed it would be. I danced with the Prince for most of my time there." Caroline claps her hands excitedly. "Did you kiss him?" Bonnie blushes nodding which made Caroline squeal.

Bonnie shakes her head going to the kitchen to boil some hot water and warm milk she knew her step family would be back soon. Caroline stays a little longer and before she leaves she gave Bonnie a big hug. "I'm glad that you got to live your dream, I hope and pray there is a better life for you than this." Bonnie smiles, "You and Stefan helped make this dream a reality, your truly the best." Caroline smiles releasing her then leaving. Bonnie sighs happily humming to herself as she gets cups and a tray for when her step family arrives.
