Black Girl White Boy

Chapter 19- Ticking Clock

R-M

The next day Bonnie was in first period. Lonelier than ever. A week he'd been gone, and it was their turn to do their presentation. Bonnie stood up, wearing what she promised him weeks ago she'd wear. She wore the first skirt he'd ever seen her in, with the frilly shirt. The outfit, she wore the first time he kissed her.

He told her since their sonnet had Romeo and Juliet's first kiss, he wanted her to wear the outfits they wore when they first kissed.

She felt foolish in her outfit, without him there. She listened to everyone go up, and read their sonnets with their partners. She slowly got up and began walking to the front of the class. Her nerves, felt like that first day of class.

She stood there.

"We've come a long way from my introduction, right? The first day I was here. You asked me three things about myself. I told you all my name is Bonnie. I said I was black and I was proud." She smiled. More like giggled at herself. "So much has changed, in my life since that day. I mean, I'm still black and proud, and my names is still Bonnie." The class laughed, making things easy for her, and she laughed too. "I was a little close-minded, and thanks to some of you, being kind to me, I've really learned a lot about myself. As ya'll, know, my partner ain't here. My partner is my boyfriend. Damon. He's also my best friend. He's a good person." She started to cry. "After recent events, he's unfortunately not graduating. So, the week has been hard for me. Bear with me today. I'm going to recite my portions, can someone read Romeo's portions? To help me out And, don't worry, we don't have to do, the kiss part."

She looked around hoping someone would help her out, and read from the book. No one raised their hand. She looked like she was defeated. She heard whispers, and finally one boy stood up. "I'll read it, with you."

"Thank you." She straightened her posture and stood facing the window. The other boy stood facing her, and he smiled.

"Wow, you have really pretty eyes." He told her.

"Thank you." She smiled politely. "I'm ready whenever you are."

The boy began reciting, he spoke to her, sweetly. But still it wasn't like when Damon did it. Damon looked in her eyes, this boy read it from the book. The only way students could choose this sonnet, is if they were going to complete with a kiss. So, most kids didn't choose it. But they did. And this kid, while reading it sweetly, wasn't Damon by a long shot.

ROMEO (To JULIET)

If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

He was so bland, she thought, before she had to speak. Bonnie was supposed to speak, but, she was in a daze. She'd try and imagine the guy before her was Damon, but it wasn't him. And she forced herself into her own head remembering her and Damon's rehearsals. The class looked at her for a few seconds, and she was stuck.

"Miss. Bennett? Hello. Miss, Bennett?" Mrs. Shannon called out. Bonnie heard snapping of fingers, and the class, start to whisper incoherence. "Miss. Bennett?" She called out louder.

Bonnie snapped out of it. "Oh, sorry. I was stuck, can we start over?"

"Sure Miss. Bennett. Take your time. We'll begin when you're ready."

Bonnie cleared her throat, looked at the cute freckled boy before her, with the beautiful green eyes, and anxious grin. Was he grinning so he could kiss her? Or was he grinning, because she got caught day dreaming? She looked at him, cleared her throat, and nodded her head so he could start over.

Romeo (to JULIET)

If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

Bonnie smiled, and confidentially look the boy in the eyes, and spoke her sonnet effortlessly.

JULIET (to ROMEO)

Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.

She was intimidating, and her confidence was very attractive. Most of the guys at school noticed this about her, and it made her hard to approach. The boy was so surprised at how good she was. He almost couldn't recite the next set of lines. He got lost in her eyes, and believed her words.

"Wow!" He said. "You're good." Bonnie grinned, wishing still she'd hear Damon's voice reciting it back to her. Her eyes immediately watered.

"Thank you, me and my boyfriend practiced a lot."

"Well, it was very good. Do I get to kiss you at the end?" Bonnie's eyes opened wide, and the whole class started to laugh.

"Okay students, continue with the sonnets, please." The teacher grinned. Bonnie wiped the tears from her eyes, and tried to contain her emotion, with a small laugh.

"Sorry Miss. Shannon." She apologized and looked to the boy, and waited for him to recite the next line. He looked at her, and blushed. "Gee, you're pretty." Bonnie blushed back at him, but surely did not want to kiss this guy. He wasn't her boyfriend. The class was interrupted, when a quiet voice walked into the room.

"Am I too late?" His voice, was only his voice. Bonnie turned to the voice and lost her breath when she saw him. "Hey baby." He smiled. The entire class cheered, and clapped for them.

"Of course, not Mr. Salvatore. Come in." She looked to the other student, who was quickly disappointed that he wouldn't be finishing the sonnet with Bonnie. "Thank you, Nate. Take your seat please. Bonnie turned to him and thanked him for helping her. Damon walked over to where the other boy stood and, pushed his body closer to Bonnie's, and held her hands. He stared deeply into her eyes. She spoke lowly to him.

"What happened?"

"Elena went to the principal. She admitted everything."

"She did? Oh my God, I can't believe it." More tears came to her eyes, and he wiped them with the pad of his thumbs.

"Yes. So, having more than one complaint against Tyler has him expelled. I'm re-instated."

"No?" They were whisper talking. "Really? You're graduating?"

"I'm graduating baby."

"Oh my God." She jumped up and wrapped her arms around him. He squeezed her, pain with an emotional embrace. The class watched them and started to feel immediately for this troubled couple.

"Okay okay. Let's finish before the bell rings." Mrs. Shannon said. The two jumped into characters quick, and were immediately embracing the roles. Damon, again, looked deeply into her eyes, and they exchanged words in a romantic undertone. But these words felt different. They feel meaningful. They felt honest.

"With the accents, like we practiced baby." He said.

She rolled her eyes. "I thought, we just did that as a joke between us?"

"Nope. Full out, cutie pie. Make me proud." She shook her head, and smiled, knowing he was asking too much, but, she was too excited to see him to care.

"Fine."

The whole class grew silent, and were anxiously awaiting the words, of one of the most romantic scenes of the play, being spoken by this couple, they all watched grow, since day one. Damon's voice was deep, and patient, as he started.

ROMEO (to JULIET)

If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

He grabbed her hand. She blushed, and played a demur, woman of innocence, when she looked up at him and away.

JULIET (to ROMEO)

Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.

She turned from him, with one of her hands still in his.

ROMEO

Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?

Damon turned Bonnie towards him and pulled her back to his chest.

JULIET

Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.

ROMEO

O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;
They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.

JULIET

Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.

ROMEO

Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.

Slowly, he pulled his face down to hers, and kissed her gently and softly in the lips. In all its cheesiness, they still received a round of applause from the students. Bonnie and Damon pulled apart, keeping it PG, and smile at each other.

Mrs. Shannon calmed the class down and asked her questions as part of the grade. "Okay, okay. Enough class, let's please calm down. We have a few minutes to round up and leave. Ms. Bennett what would you say this sonnet meant for the importance of Romeo and Juliet's relationship?"

"I'd say that, they were speaking in metaphors. They were using religion to overshadow the obvious undertones of lust."

"Elaborate, why you believe Shakespeare did this. This is just your opinion. There's no right or wrong answer."

"Kiss, for example. The metaphor for that was prayer. Let lips do what hands do? And in turn, they were saying a kiss was a prayer. Romeo grabbed her hand, and Juliet told him, he was being improper. Yet, a hand is used in prayer, and lips are used for speaking prayer. Shakespeare was probably showing the strength of love in comparison to religion. I guess believing in it with the same courageous need."

"Beautiful observation. What did you find the most important message of this sonnet, Mr. Salvatore?"

"Love is undeniable. True, real love is undeniable." He looked at Bonnie. "You just know, when you know, and it can be given deeply from the start. Romeo and Juliet saw each other. They fell in love. At that point, they knew nothing or no one would come between them. There was a war happening around them, and they refused to let it keep them from still seeing who each other really was. Beyond the surface. Even knowing, they were forbidden, they just had to be together. Love is greater than hate. And though the play ends in tragedy, hate did not win. Because Romeo and Juliet died, in love, having experienced the greatest love they'd ever known. A love most people don't find in one life time. They died on that sacrifice. This sonnet, was the innocence of love before it turned into hate."

"Sounds tragic to me." A student said.

"How can loving someone's who's different from us, create war?" Damon asked.

"Sounds like, those two families had to deal with the loss, and learn to change." Bonnie said.

"Maybe... Love is what ends up opening people's eyes." Damon added.

"Would you say you know a good testament to that?" Mrs. Shannon asked. They looked at each other. Bonnie smiled at damson and he looked at the class.

"Yes. We are a good testament to that. We are, a true testament to that." Just then the bell rang, and the class was getting ready to leave. Bonnie and Damon walked out of the classroom, and she grabbed his hand and pulled him to the side. Wrapped her arms around him, and kissed him like he was her life source. Damon's arms wrapped around her, and she missed that feeling. She pulled up, and smiled, too excited to hear what happened.

"So, tell me what happened? Elena spoke up, and the school re-instated you?"

"It's not just that. I guess a couple of students said, she and Tyler had a big fight the end of the year party. In front of a lot of people. I think a couple of students reported that incident. He pulled her hair, and drug her out of the party."

"What?"

"Yeah, and they called her to the office, to ask if it was true. I'm not sure what happened, or what she told them. But, I know, he was suspended, after she spoke."

"He pulled her hair? I'm so glad you kicked his ass."

"Yeah. And now, she's safe, because he's gone."

"Good."

"Then the reporters that I spoke to, when you were suspended, came by my house, the day I got home. They were saying we had a good lawsuit against the school, for re-instating a student with a violent past. They did some research on Tyler, and he'd been in trouble over the summer. He got arrested in Jersey."

"Out of state?"

"Yeah. He was out there, and got in trouble for underage drinking, and not just that, he supposedly, raped a girl. She went to the cops, and his father, being who he is, paid her off. She dropped all charges."

"Damon, how do you know this?"

"The reporter, said when everything happened, the name sounded familiar. So, that's when extra measures to research were done. Also, my pops, used to do business with Lockwood. I remember, because I used to work with my pops back then. Which is why me and my brother never did really like Tyler and Mason. They knew our life, and always acted better than us. My pops, is Mayor Lockwood's old supplier."

"Wow Damon. And how did you make bail? Me and your mom were going to sell some of your dad's stuff."

"What? No. Half that shits stolen. I'm glad you two didn't do that, you could've been in a cell too. I can't have that, when you're tryna get into college."

"Then, how'd you make bail?"

"That's the other thing. My pops is back. And says he's trying to help me." She smiled at him, realizing that was good news.

"That's, good, Damon."

"Me and him don't get along and I don't trust him."

She swept her fingers across his cheek, "Damon, all that matters is he's trying to help."

"You don't know, him Bonnie. There's things about my pops, that you wouldn't like."

"Right now, all I care about is I can buy a dress for prom now. And, if I'm going to go to prom, I need you outta jail."

"Prom." He smiled at her sweetly. "Speaking of prom... I've got a surprise for you."

"Me? Stop. Damon, I don't need a surprise. I just need a date, some jams, and a dress."

He wrapped his arms around her, put his lips to his ears, and whispered... "Come prom night, I'm going to give you the entire world, Bonnie Bennett. And you're not allowed to tell me not to." She smiled, and kissed his cheek. She was nervous about what he wanted to do for her. But, she couldn't let Damon get in her head, right now. She was excited, and ready to prom dress shop with the money she'd been saving.

"Okay. I gotta tell Caroline, I'm going to prom again." Excited Bonnie, hugged him before he walked her to second period.

oOo

Caroline and Bonnie went to the Mystic Grille, after school. Finals were coming up, and school was so hectic, all they wanted to do was talk about prom. "So, I heard, Elena, is finishing out the semester privately, with a tutor. Then she's moving in with her grandma for good. She will have the baby, Kat said."

"I tried to be supportive. I'm just glad she's leaving. Tyler really messed her up."

"Yeah." Caroline sipped her shake, and pinched her eyes closed at the frozen burn that came over her head, in a sudden rush. "Holy smokes."

"Care, I told you about sucking too hard." Bonnie laughed.

"Screw you, Bon."

"So, who are you going to prom with?"

"Well, no one's asked. I was going to see who Stefan is going with, since we're just friends. But I didn't wanna make it awkward. Because you know, we accidentally..."

"Had sex." Bonnie said with a straight face, making Caroline freeze up. After a minute Bonnie started laughing.

"Well, it was an accident. Stefan's like a best friend type. And he really likes your cousin."

"I know, Damon's says they talk every Friday night. I don't see the problem in two friends going. Besides, it's just prom."

"Yeah, and I found a groovy dress. It's baby blue. Matches my eyes." Bonnie grinned at her friend pathetically. Caroline was self-sabotaging prom before it happened. "And, guess who asked Kat?"

"Who?"

"That creepy kid from chemistry. Kia Parker."

"I don't know, he's kind of cute." Bonnie grinned.

"He watched you all year, called you Bonsters, and ate pork grinds, secretly out of his backpack. He's such a creep."

"What did Kat say to him?"

"She doesn't know yet. Her parents are spazzes wanted her to go with Mason, because of who his father is. It's like... don't you see what the other son, did to your other daughter?" Bonnie shook her head and opened her books up.

"Their parents don't care. It's all about a title that privilege that comes with being the affiliated with the Mayor."

"Exactly. I'm glad we never hand at her place. Anyway... So, Damon and Stefan's dad... that's a lot."

"Yeah. Well, I just want to go to prom. And for Damon to be out of trouble. I'm supposed to have dinner with the family and I guess, he wants to meet properly."

"Fuck girl. Scary. I've heard about their dad. The whole town has heard about their dad."

"Yeah, well… I'm not worried about him. I'm more worried about Damon. He hates his daddy."

"I get it. I have an absentee dad. But, I think it'll be groovy Bon. You get to meet, Giuseppe Salvatore. Drug and thief extraordinaire. Not many people can say that their mom and dad were Black Panthers, and their boyfriend's dad is a notorious crime boss from New York, who has always hidden his family in Mystic Falls. The Salvatores have lots of money."

"He has lots of money. Lily and the boys don't like using it."

"Yeah, I dig it."

"I'm just ready to start my life and go somewhere, and start fresh. The bad memories in both NOLA, and Mystic Falls, none I wanna live through every day. Maybe I'll come back when I'm older, and passed it, but now. I see why my momma left, now. I just don't want my kids to go through what I did."

"Man, imagine you and Damon having kids. How far out is that?"

"Seems impossible, in the world we live in Caroline."

Nothing is impossible Bonnie. Has the last decade not taught us anything? Twenty years ago, we couldn't have been friends."

"You're right. And I don't know, how I would've gotten through half this bullshit without you. Everything from, this school, my first spring break, fighting my case against Tyler, being with Damon, My mama leaving, or having these growing pains, without you. I've been through so much since being here."

"What about me, going to NOLA, meeting that cousin of yours, Jesse, your whole NOLA family, even Bex, "she rolled her eyes, "teaching me how to dance, and say hip words, having a girlfriend to do girly things with, talk about my dislike for white boys in mystic falls, teaching me about your culture, have a joint with just because, take panty shopping… I can't believe it's almost over."

"I will always love this place for giving me you and Damon, and even Kat and my other friends. And giving me a permeant home with my amazing grams. But My mama, leaving, and everything with Tyler… I just need a break from here."

"I don't blame you. I'll miss you though. University of Virginia, means I'm stuck in his place."

"I'll miss you too, Care. But, we can visit each other. You know I'll be here with grams on holidays."

Caroline, smiled, and tried to keep from getting emotional. "I've never had a best friend like you."

"Ditto. You'll still be my best friend, and we'll write all the time. Promise."

"Yeah. Promise."

oOo

Damon had gotten off work, at eight every school night. He worked five hours, then went home did homework, ate dinner, and slept a few hours before waking up and leaving again, headed to the docs with his dad and brother, loading and unloading boats early in the morning before school. Not Giuseppe of course. He sat in his car and waited, making sure they went every day, following them in his car. But his sons worked every morning for four hours before sun up, and then went straight to school after work. A job connection, Giuseppe got through someone he knew. Damon and Stefan wanted money for prom, and both boys wanted out of Mystic Falls. Giuseppe, knew it was too late to make up for before, but he was attempting to do right by his boys one last time before they leave.

Damon had been working his ass off like for a couple weeks after he got out of jail. It was almost time for prom, and he was ready to leave Mystic Falls.

It wasn't enough he had to work two jobs and never see Bonnie, but now, he had to spend extra time with Giuseppe. "How long you gonna be here?" He asked while helping to set the table.

"Son, please don't start with him."

"Him? Lily, I'm not him, I'm their fuckin' father. And furthermore, your husband."

"Separated."

"Look, I ain't got time for this. Bonnie is sitting out there with Stefan. I'm lucky I didn't have to work the garage today. But I gotta wake up early and go to the damn docs. So, I'm just curious, how long are we gonna put on the facade? I'm outta here in three weeks?"

"Boy! I'm trying here. You wanted more money, legit. I got you a real job. You needed bail, I paid it."

"So, why do you have to meet her again?" Damon angry whispered.

"Listen, you love this girl?"

"Damn right, I do."

"Then, I should meet her." He furrowed his brows, softly.

Damon slammed his hand onto the countertop, and walked away. Setting the table made more sense, than talking. Bonnie walked into the dining room, looked at her boyfriend and offered her help. She didn't ask, she just started to help. He could hardly look up and face her. He was almost sure his dad would do or say something tonight to embarrass him.

"Three more weeks." She said with a smile. He looked up at her remembering.

"Three more weeks, can't come fast enough."

"I'm thinking a one-bedroom apartment. Small, at first. We don't need much." She smirked innocently.

"All I need is you." He smirked, walking towards her and wrapping his arms around her. He looked in her eyes for a while, and she blushed. "Three weeks, and I get to focus on, us. And no one else." She stood on her tippy toes, and kissed him. He took it and ran, and gave it right back to her, tenfold. The love birds were caught in a moment, when a cleared throat entered the room. They pulled away from each other quickly.

"Hello, sweetheart." Bonnie didn't know what to say, back to Giuseppe. Damon rolled his eyes, and stood her behind him gently.

Bonnie reached her hand to shake, and say, "Hello." But Damon stood in front of her, blocking any contact. "Nice to meet you again, Mr. Salvatore."

Giuseppe, gave Damon a stare down, then looked at the young brown skinned woman. "Likewise. Why don't we have a seat?"

"Well, dinner is ready. Damon call your brother, and you two help me serve." Lily smiled, looking towards Bonnie. "Hey sweetie. Have a seat, okay. We're ready to eat."

Damon pulled out her chair, and helped her sit, and headed for his brother. The two boys helped her bring out food while Bonnie and Giuseppe, sat awkwardly, in silence.

"So, college, huh? What college, you accepted to?"

I applied to New York and LA... no acceptance letters yet."

"Wow. You must've really wanted a different life, going to the city."

"I wanted to diversify my surroundings."

Giuseppe, smirked. "Definitely diverse. And your interests in college?"

"Cultural studies and writing. I'm not sure which yet. I'd rather see what college is about first, before picking my area of study. I'm already overwhelmed with the idea, of not having any family around." Damon and Stefan came out with hot plates, and food. They sat them on the middle of the table, along with serving spoons.

"It costs a lot to live in the city. As I've told my son before, our family has money. Whatever you need, I can give you two. I can set you up with a place, and-"

"No. Pops, I told you we don't want your money. I'll take care of Bonnie." He said.

"Boy, it's nothing to give you some starter money. Two young and inexperienced kids like you-"

"Pops. No." Damon said, angrily, causing Bonnie to jump, and remain silent. She didn't want to trigger, Damon by asking too many question or being too friendly with his father. After all she didn't know him personally. Just enough to know, Damon has never said anything good about him.

Giuseppe kept his cool. He was trying to change. "Okay." The next twenty minutes or so we're quiet. Stefan, ate his food, and got himself ready to be excused.

"May I leave the table?"

"Son, you finished fast, and we have company." Lily looked towards Bonnie. But he wanted to get to the phone to call Melissa.

"Ma, I'll take the dishes tomorrow. Please?"

Damon shook his head, at Stefan getting out of his nightly chore, since he didn't have two jobs like Damon. "Stefan, it's your job. You, wanting me to take on your chore, when I finally got a night off?"

"I can help baby." Bonnie grinned at him.

"Bonnie, doesn't your grams have you on a strict curfew?"

"She does. But, I'm staying at Caroline's tonight. Grams is in NOLA, for some family stuff."

"All weekend?" Damon asked.

"Yeah. But I'll be back home tomorrow."

He covered his face and whispered..."Alone?"

She grinned and nodded her head. "So, I don't mind helping with dishes. Caroline's mom knows I'll be in a little late."

"Okay. Well, I guess Stefan can go." Stefan quickly got up, and headed up the stairs, and it left the four of them alone. Giuseppe didn't shy away from much but he watched his son flirt incredulously and force the world to be incoherent noise around him when he was with Bonnie. He had no shame in asking, "You too having sex?"

"Giuseppe Salvatore!"

Bonnie nearly choked on her drink, and Damon's eyes darted at his father. "Fuck pops, really?"

"Damon watch your mouth." Lily said.

"Me? He's talking about sex at the fuckin' dinner table."

"Watch your fuckin' mouth with your Mother. I asked, because you should understand the repercussions involved. I just think you should-"

"We ain't having sex pops. Not that it's your business."

"Listen, I'm asking questions, to get to know my son, and his girlfriend..."

"Stop. If you want me to believe this, then slow down. It's too much right now." He looked at his mother. "I'm done eating, come on Bon Bon, let's clear the table."

Bonnie was so uncomfortable, Damon had to rescue her by getting her away from the scene. "Giuseppe, seriously? You're really gonna have to ease us all into this. It's new, even for me." Lily said. "Come on, let's, let the kids clean. I'm sure you scared her half to death with that question. She'll never wanna come around again, if not for her working here." Lily shook her head, prompting him to follow her out of the dining, room.

Washing the dishes was a quiet chore tonight. Damon was clearly angry, and Bonnie, just helped him. At some point he finished, and turned towards her cornering her. "Caroline's huh?"

"Yeah. We got prom things to discuss." She smiled.

"Oh, is that so? Like what?"

"Like dress colors. Hairstyles..." his mouth moved to her neck, and started kissing her sweet spot, making her laugh. "Damon's stop, you always leaving love bites. You don't know how to touch my neck without turning me to a leopard."

"I just, think you taste so sweet." He lips found a space right behind her ear, at the nape, and started taking control.

"Damon." She whispered quietly.

"Don't go to Caroline's tonight."

"Why?"

"Stay with me. I wanna make out all night uninterrupted."

"I can't Damon. We both know, well just... have sex. So, we can't."

"I'll be good, I promise." He whispered softly, before sucking the skin of her neck again.

"And I promised Caroline."

"You stay the night with Caroline every Friday. Come on, she'll understand. I'll take you when I head to the docs, around two am. I'm working alone tomorrow, Stefan is meeting with some people tomorrow."

"Damey poo?"

"Bon Bon?"

"Your family-"

"Won't even know. The got damn house is too big. And my room is by itself." His blue eyes were pleading like crazy. Bonnie bit her lip.

"Let me call her, and tell her to leave the window unlocked for me." He gave her a small grin, and kissed her forehead.

oOo

Later that night Bonnie and Damon were in his room quietly kissing on his bed. His hand was under her shirt, and he was massaging her breast, with ease, and patience. The lights were out, but the curtain behind his bed was open. They continued kissing, softly. Her hand played in his hair. She felt him gently tug at her nipples, and that always made her weak. He forced his mouth away from hers, and moved down to her breasts.

Bonnie was heavily into it. When she felt his mouth touch her breast, she had the hardest time controlling her hormones. One hand on her back, and the other gripping her hip, Damon, sucked on her, like he she was a strawberry.

"Hmmm. Ooohh." Her hand grabbed his, and moved it inside of her pants. She unbuckled the top button, and he found himself, at her entrance with his fingers. He teased her for a little bit, making her breathe heavy. He didn't enter her for a few minutes. He was focused on her breasts still, and marking them proudly, with his suction and greed. He watched her for a minute, and finally pushed through. "Damn." She said as her eyes closed, and her head pushed back into the pillow. Her back arched, narrowing her passage, and his fingers, felt her squeeze him. He pushed deeper. She raised her head at him again, biting her lip. Something about her vibe was different. He watched as she started pushing her pants past her hips.

He couldn't believe it. She lay in his bed, taking her pants off, and biting her lip, in a way that forced him to question what she was doing. He felt her knees wiggling around until, she got her pants off of her hips, and down her legs, off her body. He heard when they hit the floor. She looked at him suggestively.

He was nervous.

She slowly put her hand into the front of his pants, and she didn't have to try, he was already hard. She held him in her hand, and started to stroke him. Her grab was strained because of his jeans, so he unbuckled them to give her easier access. He pulled his shirt over his head, and took hers off, pressing his body into hers. She continued to stroke him while he moved to her neck. It felt like he was about to explode, he was close already, after playing with her nipples, and kissing her, then touching her heat. Bonnie was tired of making it hard on the two of them. She was ready to make it, easy.

She pushed his pants down. "Bon-"

"Shh."

"But-"

"Shh." She put her fingers to his lips, and shushed him, before pushing his pants down his body. Damon's will power wasn't that strong tonight. Normally, he held off well, because he wanted her first time to be special. But his moment, he felt her naked underneath him and she was taking his clothes off too. The moment he felt them almost naked, he started taking off her panties. Bonnie, helped him, trying to push it over the hump of her backside. He was pulling his underwear off too, and the two of them felt immeasurable amounts of nerves and sensation. He gently opened her legs, and when his manhood touched her, he felt her breath harder. He paused for a second, and made sure she was ready for this. Still wearing his socks, and her still in just her bra, with the straps removed. She nodded her head, yes. Damon, closed his eyes, and moved his hand down, to grab himself, and push into her. He rubbed the head against her a couple of times, forcing her to move against him too.

Bonnie tugged his neck down towards her and kissed him, rubbing herself against him. "I want this. I want you. Make me feel good." She whispered. Less than a minute of Damon's body touching her, and her whispering, he came.

He couldn't help it. The excitement of the moment, and her words in his ear, after she'd been stroking him, combined with the heat of her body, and he couldn't contain himself. "No. No, fuck. Don't do this, don't do this... think bad thoughts. Stefan in pink panties. Stefan naked." He was saying all these things out loud, instead of in his head. "Fuuuck." But it happened. Right in his hand. He tried to be more courteous than the last time.

Bonnie lay there confused. She was sure she was doing things right. But he seemed frustrated. "Damon... what's wrong?"

"I'm sorry." He jumped up, and grabbed his pants and ran to the bathroom. She was confused. She got off the bed, and searched for her panties in the dark. Then her pants. She got dressed, and sat there feeling self-conscious, about something she'd done. She sat there for maybe fifteen minutes. When he finally walked back into the bedroom, he was fully dressed.

"Uhh, everything okay?"

"Yeah, uhh. Sorry."

"What happened?"

"Guy problems. Just... nothing you did. It was all me." She could tell he was embarrassed, and ashamed. She stood up and walked to him, with her bell bottoms, and her frilly button up, pale pink shirt.

"Oh, I see. Well, it's okay, Damon. Maybe it just wasn't meant to happen tonight. It's just, one of those things, that happens sometimes."

"Not to me. And not with you. I mean, it's you... and I didn't even expect we'd go this far tonight." She stopped him.

"Damon. It's okay. I promise." She kissed his cheek.

"Well, I'd better take you to Caroline's. I have to get to work anyhow." Bonnie agreed, and they quietly snuck out of his house.

oOo

The next morning Bonnie and Caroline were eating breakfast, and Caroline and Bonnie were talking via teenage sign language over the table. Caroline put her fork in her mouth and did a sucking gesture, making Bonnie laugh. Bonnie shook her head no.

Then she grabbed a banana, and wrapped her hand around it, moving it up and down. Her mother looked at her, and she stopped quickly. "Caroline, behave."

"Yes ma'am." She looked to Bonnie, and Bonnie nodded her head yes. Then Bonnie peeled the banana, and peeled Caroline's banana, and touched them together. Caroline's mother was watching the small kitchen television, on the news channel.

Caroline looked at the two naked bananas, and her jaw dropped. And she asked Bonnie quietly, "All the way?'

Bonnie looked to Mrs. Forbes to makes sure she didn't hear, and then she looked at Caroline, and shook her head no. She made an explosion sign with her hands, and Caroline was confused. Caroline her two hands under the table, and signaled Bonnie to drop her fork. Bonnie bent down, looked under the table cloth, to find Caroline's two hands being suggestive. One snapped like a circle with two fingers, and the other one finger going in and out. Bonnie started laughing hard, and came back up for air, laughing quietly. Then shook her head, no. "Almost."

When her mom got off to take her plate to the kitchen, Caroline blurted out in a loud whisper. "So, you did or you didn't?"

"We didn't. He was too excited. I think. And then he was really embarrassed."

"Holy crap. So, no sex at all?"

"I mean we did other stuff, but, we actually get to the sex part. So, we didn't complete the mission."

"It's completely normal, when I guy thinks you're hot, and you make him nervous. You and Damon have never had sex. So, he's anticipating you're body the way a dehydrated person anticipates water. The first taste is going to be dangerous, and happen quickly, and he can't help it. He's a guy."

"Yeah. I ain't never felt so stupid."

"No, trust me, he's imagining how to do better next time."

"I have no idea if there will be a next time, after how he acted."

"Bon, fair warning, next time you see him, his ego will be bruised. But it's totally normal. You just have to avoid the topic. Talk about anything else, that gets his mind off of it."

"I guess. I've never seen him like that. He didn't even look at me or talk after that."

"He was embarrassed, sound like. I have a plan."

"What?"

"Prom night. The thing is, guys need to expect it. You caught him off guard, taking your clothes off. Let's get you ready for prom night, that way, he's prepared, and no more, incomplete missions." Bonnie stated to laugh.

"You better not tell anyone. I swear. Not Kat, or anyone."

"Cross my heart. Besides, Stefan tried to stick it in my ass, when we hooked up, and I smacked him, that night. So, you want embarrassing, try having sex with a girl, after she slaps you." Liz Forbes walked back in the dining room and both girls tumbled off their seats with laughter. She shook her head.

"I'm gone for the day. You girls behave."

"Yes, ma'am." They both said. She walked out of the door.

"Do the dishes Caroline, and clean your room."

"Yes ma'am." She looked at Bonnie.

"Prom night?"

"Yeah. You will both be ready, and he won't be caught off guard. And it'll be romantic. Wish I saved my virginity 'til prom night."

"Feels like a lotta of pressure. What if I'm not good, or he's not happy with it? I'm the first black girl, what if he, thinks it's different. I mean- Care, this is big."

"A girl, is a girl, Bonnie. You're not different to him because your black. You're different to him, because he's never loved a girl before. He's going to continuously tried to impress you. And, yeah. You finally having sex is big deal. So, I'm selfishly stoked, you didn't lose it last night. So, let's start planning now. Come to my bedroom, I have a joint up there. I get creative when I'm stoned."

"Stop Jivin' girl. Your mama said we have to clean the kitchen." Bonnie grabbed her arm reminding her.

"We will... eventually." The two girls went upstairs, got high, and planned Bonnie's divorce from her virginity.
