Not Today. Or Any Time Soon.

Damon and Bonnie. Bonnie and Damon. They were never meant to become friends.. They were just too different. Yet they were always drawn to each other, always intrigued by one another. And somehow they became good friends, maybe even something more.

Bonnie was getting ready to go to the Grille to meet up with Caroline. Caroline wanted to discuss some "important issues" with her. And by important issues she meant discussing even more ways of stalking Matt.

In the middle of deciding her outfit, when she heard the bell ring. Bonnie skipped downstairs and opened the door, to see Damon standing before her. She smiled at him.

Bonnie and Damon had developed a friendship during the time they spent working together, in their battle against Katherine and then Klaus. Damon came to respect Bonnie and Bonnie came to accept Damon after seeing his softer side and realising that Damon still had his humanity, unlike many other vampires. And although they seemed to be so different, they had this strange connection. They understood each other when no one else would. That's what made their friendship so special.

"What are you doing here, Dam Dam?"

After many bonding sessions, Damon and Bonnie became great friends. She had even given him his very own nickname. But as much as Bonnie appreciated his friendship, she secretly hoped for something more.

She had been trying to deny her feelings for Damon for a while. If someone had told her that she would fall in love with Damon Salvatore a few months ago, she would have literally rolled on the floor with laughter. But that is exactly what had happened. Somewhere along the way, she had fallen in love with him. All she could was hope he felt the same way. But Bonnie knew she was kidding herself. Damon only had eyes for Elena.

"First, do NOT call me 'Dam Dam', it's taking away from my extraordinary amount of sex appeal. Second, we need to talk Little Witch."

"First of all, what sex appeal, Dam Dam?" joked Bonnie, though she knew precisely what he was referring. If Damon was one thing, it was sex-ay. And also completely in love with Elena, she reminded herself before continuing. "And second, I can't talk. Caro is going to kill me if I arrive late."

"Bonnie, this is serious"

This worried Bonnie. Frowning she asked "What? Is something wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong, per se. Just something I think you should know." A pause.

"Well?"

"Today, at the boarding house, an argument erupted between me, my brother and Elena. There were a lot of things said. In the end, we told Elena to choose which Salvatore brother she wanted . So this triangle could be solved, once and for all."

She didn't like what this was leading to "And?"

His pale blue eyes stared into hers for a moment. They showed a mixture of emotions. Guilt and regret were the dominating ones. Along with sadness. So I'm guessing Elena chose Stefan, after all. She knew it was selfish of her but Bonnie couldn't help but feel relieved.

Looking away, Damon said "She chose me"

"Oh" she responded lamely. That was all she could manage.

She wasn't surprised. Not really. She knew it would always be Elena for Damon. Bonnie was just a distraction until he got her. But despite this, she felt betrayed. All the time they spent, didn't it mean anything to him? All the laughs they had shared or all the times they just sat at the Grille listening to what the other had to say, didn't it affect him at all? She wondered if he thought of her at all, of everything they had, even for a split second.

"Bonnie?"

Choking back tears, she replied weakly while trying her best to smile, "That's great! Hope you guys are happy together." She knew her fake cheerfulness didn't fool him, but at the moment she didn't care. She just wanted him to leave, so she could let her tears run freely. "Now, if you don't mind, I have to get ready."

Just as she was about to shut the door on him, she heard Damon's voice. "I just wanted to tell you before you heard from someone else. You deserved as much" he said softly, before turning around and disappearing from sight using his vampire speed.

Bonnie just stared at the area that Damon was occupying just a moment ago and let the tears she was holding back run down.

Damon and Bonnie. Bonnie and Damon. They were never meant to become friends. They were just too different. Yet they somehow did become good friends and maybe someday they may become something more. But not today. Or anytime soon.
