Chapter 28

Gave you up 'bout 21 times
Felt those lips, tell me 21 lies, yeah
You'll be the death of me
Sage advice
Love-lovin' you could make Jesus cry

-By Noah Cyrus

Dear Elena,

I wish I could read Enzo's mind but more so I hoped in it he was saying something like "This was probably the worst idea I had ever heard come out of Bonnie's mouth. However I could not berate the cleverness that comes with it."

I sigh as he keeps quiet like he is trying to sink it all in. He slowly stands up without saying a word and walks to the kitchen. He takes two glasses out and places them down slowly on the counter. I watch as he take the bourbon out the cabinet and pour a glass. He takes the shot straight and pours another and in the other glass to.

"Can you say something please." I snap as I realize that studying him is making me go crazy.

"Let me get this right," He comes around with both glasses. Sits down and sips his glass while handing me mine, "You want to go in as a mental patient into the same psychiatric ward as my distant cousin who is by the way mad."

"She isn't crazy Enzo," My sigh is very hard, "The armory made her like that. Your family made her like that."

"Bonnie that fact aside," He looks at me, "What do aim on accomplishing here."

"We need information Enzo." I explain to him, "We have gotten as far as we can indoors. It's field time."

"We have been fielding," Enzo points out, "Or was I just a prop."

"You achieved as much as I did by going to Alex," I shake my head, "Alex isn't going to tell you why she needs me."

"You know Virginia is mad right?" Enzo points out you can hear the faint of irritation building, "Any information you get from her could be off the top of her mad head."

"I told you she's not crazy," I explain to him, "She's just seen a fair share of crazy and it probably overwhelmed her."

"Have you even considered the risk Bonnie," He says almost like I have slapped him, "What happens if Alex sniffs you in the building."

"That is why I said undercover," I look at him and frown, "And since when do you care about a risk?"

He slams his glass on the table and huffs up. He stands up in flurry of anger and looks at me as he shouts, "SINCE I BLOODY WELL FELL INLOVE WITH YOU BONNIE!"

I gasp slightly as he faces my pointless fire. Elena, there is a moment in every girls life where she just wants to hear those words. Of course this now brings me to the issue of Jeremy. Of course he said it but there was the damper of his ex dead girlfriend.

But now there was nothing standing between Enzo and I….Just this pathetic task of his pathetic family. That of course does not include him. Here stands a man, a real man ready to love me. Nothing to stand in our way because whatever problem that comes up, we could handle together.

I stand up and walk over to him. I take his hand and turn him around. I look into his eyes and for the first time in my life….I don't hear the words.

I feel them.

"We are never going to have somewhat a normal life," I say to him holding his hand tightly, "The whole house on a prairie. Growing old together…kids." I look down.

He lifts my face for me to look at him, "Do you want that."

I smile at him and trace his face, "I want you Enzo." I sigh, "You and I are different…but the one thing we have in common is that we both know what overlooked feels like…underappreciated. Unloved." I swallow the lump in my voice, "But we where overlooked, we see each other. Where underappreciated, we value each other….where unloved; we love each other." I hold his face, "I love you Enzo and all want is you. A future with you. Whatever that means for you and I."

He bends down to kiss me slowly. The kiss is feverish and almost urgent. He clutches my back and holds me close. My arms find their way around his neck desperate to hold more of him close.

When he breaks the kiss he leans his head against mine and we are breathing heavily, "I promise you Bonnie, I will rid the world of my wretched family and make sure the only family I have and need in the world is you."

"You are my family now." I say to him. It wasn't a lie.

"If we do this plan love," He says, "We must be careful. Both of us. You must continue to take those tablets."

I nod and then smile at him, "Then after you can take me on a proper date, because I don't count the new years eve one as a date."

He laughs, "You wound me."

I take his hand and squeeze it, "Because I love you."

He grabs my waist and before we know it we are in the bedroom urgently removing each others clothes. Just as he is about to remove my pants his phone buzzes. We both ignore it by kissing each other with more passion than we both need but want.

The phone continues to ring.

Enzo comes up for air and looks at the caller ID as I kiss his neck, "It's an unknown number."

"Then ignore it." I continue to kiss him.

"It could be the armory or MJ love." When he says that I stop. I sigh and sit off.

He strokes my face, "It won't take long." He smiles and answers, "Hello."

From the voice on the phone I can hear it is not Alex but someone more….dignified? It is a woman and she sounds very clear and pricise as she says,

"Hello Enzo. It's been way too long."

Enzo's eyes go wide and then angry.

"You." He says.

"Miss me. Bet you did."
