Bonnie smiled still half asleep. Damon was planting little soft kisses all over her skin and it felt like heaven.

Noticing she was awake, Damon proceeded to greet her and getting her out of bed.

"I've been awake for ages!" He whined at her resistance in removing herself from the mattress.

"I need to sleep Damon! Remember?"

"But I want to spend more time with you!"

Lazily, she rolled out of bed.

"Happy?" Bonnie asked, her arms on her hips.

"You know I am" He simply answered and grabbed her hand as they exited the bedroom.

As soon as they were done with breakfast, they started bickering about what they were going to do next. Bonnie argued that he should come up with something since he was the one who woke her up and Damon defended that he wanted to do anything she'd like, something fun for her.

Bonnie sighed and thought for a bit. This was odd for her, usually she did whatever her friends wanted to do . . .

"Hum . . . You know what I haven't done in ages?"

Damon simply shook his head.

"Riding a bicycle!"

"What? Is that it?" Damon gave her a weird look.

"What, you never rode a bike when you were a kid? Feeling the wind in your hair as if you were flying?" She smile in fond remembrance.

"It wasn't common practice in my childhood years Bonnie, the use of bicycles became widespread later"

Bonnie sometimes forgot the enormous amount of years between them.

"I see, so you don't know how"

"I know how to ride a bike Bonnie! What's immortality for than experimenting everything?"

"But I guess . . . " he added ". . . your experience as a child must be better"

Bonnie smiled warmly at him and he reciprocated the gesture.

"It will still be fun now!" Bonnie told him "But we don't have bikes . . . "

Damon found himself in a bike shop together with a very enthusiastic Bonnie. It was endearing watching her get all excited about which bike she should choose. He had already settled for one of the first models he'd seen but Bonnie was still pondering whether to get one with a basket on the front or not.

They left the shop and headed for the woods. Bonnie got the one with the basket because it was great to put her bag and other things on.

They rode aimlessly for a while and Bonnie seemed more relaxed and more beautiful in Damon's eyes. She was genuinely happy and that was what Damon wanted for her, so he indulged her in every race and game she wanted to play until she was satisfied.

Bonnie was feeling tired and they sat by a tree, enjoying its shadow.

"So, what do you think vampire of the olden days?"

Damon chuckled "You almost made me feel young again"

"Almost?" She pouted.

"Yup. Almost." He sighed, ignoring her puppy eyes and stood up, walking away from the tree.

Instinctively, Bonnie followed him for answers. Was he upset with her?

Running, she caught him and held his arm.

"Damon? I'm sorry if I said something wrong . . . "

"You didn't say anything wrong."

"But?"

"I love you" He simply said, like it would answer all her questions.

Bonnie felt a sort of electricity run through her body, he loved her, she knew he did but hearing him admit it out loud was something else.

"Is there something wrong with that?" She asked timidly, trying to understand the origins of his distress.

"No. Actually, loving you makes everything right, everything I ever wanted seems to happen when I'm with you."

Bonnie was speechless, fortunately Damon resumed speaking before she had to come up with an answer.

"What I meant before was: you don't make me feel young just because we rode bikes together you make me feel young all the time. Not only young but with a purpose also. Like my days of searching are over"

He noticed the tears in Bonnie's eyes and simply held her tight in his arms. She didn't need to say anything, he understood her feelings quite well.

As the sun was setting, Bonnie, on her tip toes, searched for his lips. He leaned in closer and kissed her gently.

"I love you too Damon"

The vampire smiled widely and took her hands in his. They remained in this closeness for a while, enjoying each other's presence. The world could wait and they had waited long enough to be together.
