Chapter 7 My Light
Enzo's POV
I can't believe this. One minute Caroline calls me and says that I need to come over right away, and the next Bonnie's telling me that's she's pregnant. I not going to lie and say that I wasn't shocked that I am going to be a father, because in truth in that moment I thought she was joking. I mean yes we've been together for two months and from the mind-blowing sex we have why wouldn't she be? I really wanted to question her. Ask her if it's really mine and not one-night stand.
Bonnie is the lightest thing that came into my life, since Maggie. I feel different, good different. She makes me feel like my life has purpose again. I would do anything just to make her happy. Because she deserves it. After all the things she's given up just so those around her can be happy. (A/n: My Bonnie is for the most part the same as in TVD. Anyway continuing.) She is a remarkable woman that should be treated like royalty.
If this child is indeed mine I will do my best to be the best father I can be. Not having a father figure growing up is rough on a young lad. My parent's died in a terrible car accident. They were killed by a gas truck that was swerving out of control then it exploded taking my mother and father with it knocking both vehicles off a bridge. I was five years old, not all the money that I had just inherited could put a smile on my face.
I personally love children they have so much light and love in their life that for the most part they show no fear. I had wanted to have a family with Maggie, but her career was far more important to her. I should have left her sooner, but you can't let go of your first love. Maggie's death took a toll on me I was dark isolated myself from everyone and everything.I eventually got over it and continued on with my life.
Then I met Bonnie a confident, outgoing dancer. I thought that glorious Tuesday she was just trying to get my attention with her attire, but only to find that she wasn't really paying attention to any of us. She was lucky that I tackled her to the ground before Tyler could knock her out with the football. I was even more stunning up close her enchanting green eyes could make any guy swoon over her. I knew I had to get to know her better. I was glad that I bumped into her at that party.
Though I had not known she dated Salvatore's older brother until I saw her tense when he had called her name, but then again Stefan hardly ever talks about his brother around us. I wanted to protect a woman that I had just met, Damon gave me a reason to defend her. Given how her ex was treating her. Then we shared our heartaches. Betrayal for the both of us.
That first month was just filled with passion for the both of us. Towards the end she grew distant and at first I thought it was me. Bonnie was hiding something from me, but I wasn't going to push her. I'd rather she tell me what was wrong when she was ready and I'm glad she did. I've fallen in love with her in a short amount of time, but I could listen to her talk about studying or her favorite thing to do all day long and never get tired of her voice.
Enzo had just gotten back to Bonnie's house with a banquet of yellow carnations, when Caroline opens the door wide to let him in. "Hey Enzo, Bonnie will be down in a few." Enzo nods. He sits in one of the chairs in the kitchen. He hears her footfalls coming down the stairs. "Hi Enzo." Bonnie says. He stands and hands her the flowers. They both forget that Caroline is still in the room until she giggles. "Tyler is so right you are a sap Enzo." He shakes his head. Bonnie puts the flowers in a vase.
"Alright Caroline that's enough." Bonnie says and takes his hand. "Shall we be off then?" Enzo asks before escorting her out of the house. "So where are you taking me today?" She asks him when he gets in his car. "It's a surprise, love." He takes her hand and kisses it. Enzo drives through the city and to the lake. Once they arrive Enzo opens her door and gets a blanket and a basket out of his trunk. "Enzo." Bonnie says adoringly. He chuckles. "Come on, love let's have a picnic."
He leads her the grass area before laying the blanket and basket down. "So what time does your game start?" She asks as she sits across from him. "It starts at seven, we have time it's barely two." Enzo says he takes out the food and places it in front of them. "Enzo you made this?" Bonnie asks. "Only half of it Jeremy made the rest, that rookie has some amazing culinary skills." Bonnie kisses his cheek. "What was that for, not that I'm complaining." He says with a smirk. "For the effort." He laughs.
They eat their food in comfortable silence. Bloody hell I hope she doesn't hate me for asking thing. He takes Bonnie's hands in his suddenly. "What's wrong?" She asks confused. "Bonnie I just need to know if this child is really mine." Bonnie pulls her hands out of his. "You think I cheated on you?" He shakes his head. "No, Bonnie I just-" She cuts him off. "You men are all the same, thinking that every girl you get into a relationship with is going to cheat on you. Well listen here Lorenzo this kid is yours! I haven't been with anyone else for awhile now." He is shocked by her outburst.
"Just take me home." She stands and walks over to his car. Damn it! This was not how I wanted this to go! He signs and gathers everything and puts it in his car. The drive back is tense and Bonnie refuses to talk to him. Once they get back she doesn't even wait for him to open her door. He grabs her arm gently. "Bonnie wait, I'm sorry." She yanks her arm out of his hold unlocking the door and going inside without a word.
"Enzo what happened? I have seen you this down in a while" Stefan says as he sits next to him on the couch. "It's Bonnie." Enzo says. "Is she alright?" Enzo shrugs, "I haven't the slightest idea. I mean we had a glorious date by the lake, and then I messed everything up." Stefan looks blankly at him. "What exactly did you say or do?" Enzo signs, "Well I asked her if the child she is having is mine, then everything went loony from there. And I want to fix it, I don't want to lose her." Stefan claps him on the shoulder before standing up. "Well sense you're a big time romantic, you'll figure it out. As for Bonnie just give her some time. Now hurry up we have a game to win." Then he leaves.
Enzo signs and pulls his phone out of his pocket. There is only one person who can help me get through to Bonnie.
