The Salvatore Home
It was a cold windy day with rain falling non stop. Bonnie walked to the bathroom down the hall with clean fresh towels. She opened the door and saw Justin standing in front of the mirror. A towel wrapped around his lower body. "Good morning Mrs Salvatore." Justin said with a smile. "I'm done. Do you want to use the bathroom?"
Bonnie swallowed hard. Her eyes flashing briefly over Justin's muscular physique. His skin glowing from the steam in the bathroom.
"I'm sorry I'm not use to anyone using this bathroom. The kids have their own bathrooms in their rooms. So, clean towels." Bonnie said and handed Justin the towels.
"Thank you." Justin said and took the towels from Bonnie. Their fingers briefly touching. They both felt the electric shock. Bonnie pulled her hands away quickly.
"Breakfast is ready. Come down when your done." She said quickly and walked away.
...
Her phone vibrated Bonnie saw the caller is Damon.
Damon: Hey babe
Bonnie: Hi
Damon: You okay your sounding like you just finished a marathon. The kids throwing their early morning tantrums? Damon said and chuckled.
Bonnie: You have no idea. How are things going there?
Damon: I might come home sooner. As for the case the police still have no leads.
Bonnie: I asked Liv if she will be willing to help with the case. I don't think she minds I just want to ask you first.
Damon felt like his heart was going to jumped out of his chest.
Damon: You told her? Jesus Bonnie! she's got nothing to do with this stop dragging people into this and let the police handle it!
Bonnie: I just thought with Liv's team they can track down ...
Damon closed his eyes and rubbed his temple.
Damon: Bonnie, you and Olivia back the fuck off and let the police handle this. I don't need Olivia's help. Can't you keep your fucking mouth shut for once was it really necessary to tell her? I'm already under a lot of work stress I don't need your fucking cousin playing detective.
He ended the call.
Bonnie bit her lip. She just wanted to help him.
"The weather reminds me of London. I feel like going out and doing a rain dance. Think I'll get locked up?" Justin said behind Bonnie. He could see who ever she was on the phone with upset her.
Bonnie smiled and said. "Pancakes and honey. There's bacon and oven bread. Juice. Can you excuse me?" She said in a lost voice. When Bonnie walked passed him he gently took her in his arms.
"What are you doing?" Bonnie whispered near tears.
"I can see your upset Mrs Salvatore and sometimes its best to let it out. You don't have to run away when there is a shoulder to cry on or a hug to comfort." Justin gazed deeply into Bonnie's eyes. Such beautiful eyes shouldn't look this sad.
Bonnie slowly rested her head on Justin's chest. His arms wrapped around her warmly. She closed here eyes and breathed in and out slowly. Feeling herself calming down. The hurt of Damon's words moving to the background. The sound of the rain and Justin's arms soothing her.
After a while Bonnie stepped back and smiled at him.
"All better Mrs Salvatore?"
"Thank you Justin." Bonnie said and kissed him softly on the cheek.

New York
Damon was standing at his office window looking at the clear blue sky. Sierra brought this on herself. She knew the deal from the start. Did he love her? Yes. Would he ever have left his family and Bonnie for her? NO.
His office door opened and Enzo came in with a young woman in her early twenties.
"Your new assistant is here Damon."
Damon turned around and looked at the fresh face beautiful girl. Damon wondered where Enzo found this Emma Stone lookalike. "Can you excuse me and Enzo. I need to talk to him."
The girl nodded.
"Where did you get her?" Damon asked Enzo.
"Well she's the best. A Harvard graduate. Top on the list Damon. She can do everything."
"And what exactly do you mean by that?" Damon asked coldly.
"Well I'm not talking about how far a mans dick can go down her throat or if she can take it up the ass." Enzo said with a smirk.
"Do not fucking test me Enzo. Put her on a one month trial if she doesn't cut it she's gone. I'm leaving for Mystique Lake tonight. Now please leave my fucking office." Damon said and turned back to the window.

Mystique Lake High School
"I hate it when the weather is like this." Estelle said.
"Perfect weather to curl up with a boy and listen to love songs until you fall asleep." Stacy said and put her lip gloss on.
Estelle rolled her eyes.
Kenzie's phone beeped.
Antwone: you look bored join me in the library
Kenzie replied: spying on me? Yeah sure
Antwone: lol my fav hobby
"I'm going to the library. See you girls in class." Kenzie said and left their table.
...
Kenzie found Antwone on the third floor. Sitting alone. She took a seat opposite him on the comfy couch and put her feet on his lap.
"Get to work. You made me walk all these steps now my feet are hurting." Kenzie said and smiled sweetly.
Antwone throw his head back and laughed. "Still the same, still the same Ice."
The two talked. Warm in their bubble where time didn't exist.

The Salvatore Home
Dylan was glad the day was over. What bad weather he can't even take his bike to go to Connor. He came home finding his mom and Justin in the kitchen.
"Hey mom." He said and hugged his mom. "Hi." He mumbled to Justin.
"Hey Dylan." Justin greeted him with a smile.
"It smells nice in here. What are you cooking mom?"
"I'm not cooking. Justin is making soup. A family secret recipe."
Dylan looked at his mom and whispered. "Check the kitchen for rat poison or white small pills. Cyanide but don't make it look too obvious and don't taste the soup first let him taste it." Dylan said and quickly rushed out.
Bonnie and Justin burst out laughing.
"You want to have a taste Mrs Salvatore?" Justin said with a smirk.
"I've been waiting for hours for you to ask me that."
Justin carefully scoop up a spoon full of soup and blow it. He taste it first. "Yup just how I remember it." Bonnie opened her mouth and Justin carefully feed her the soup. Swallowing hard when her soft lips wrapped around the spoon head. He slowly slide it out of her mouth. Bonnie closed her eyes and savoured the soup on her tongue. A small moan escaped her mouth. Justin looked on in fascination. He snapped out of it and placed a safe distance between them.
"This is really good Justin." She said and smiled.
Justin nodded. He didn't trust his voice.
