Damon's POV
I fluttered my eyes open and the first thing I saw was the sleeping beauty on my chest. I did my best not to move around too much and felt around the bedside table to find my phone. I retrieved my phone and unlocked it; the screen read three missed calls from Stefan so I decided to call him back. After just one ring Stefan picked up the phone.
"Damon! Where have you been? I've tried calling you three times!" exclaimed Stefan frantically.
"Keep your voice down, Bonnie's asleep. I came back to Bonnie's house and everything is cleared up now. What did you do with Andi?" I asked curiously as I took a piece of Bonnie's hair and started to twirl it around in my fingers.
"Buried her in the Old Woods. Compelled everyone into thinking that the Johnson's left town" replied Stefan simply. Bonnie started to fidget around in the bed and it indicated that she was beginning to wake up.
"Good idea. Thanks by the Stefan, you know, for helping me" I replied awkwardly. Usually I would never thank anybody for anything, but in this situation saying thanks to my little brother was well needed.
"That's what brothers are for, Damon" said Stefan sincerely. I quickly muttered a 'bye' to him and shut my phone. I looked down at the beautiful girl next to me who had her head up, eyes closed, lips pouted out and she seemed to searching for something. I immediately understood what she was looking for a pulled her up to kiss her lightly on the lips. She seemed very disappointed when I pulled back abruptly but I cupped her face in my hands and brought her face up to mine. I held her there for a moment, admiring her beauty. I can't believe I didn't see this before! The first day we met, I had looked straight past her and had my eyes fully focused on Elena. When in reality, Bonnie is the one for me, and Elena is the one for Stefan. I don't know why or how it took us both so long to realise but I I'm glad that we had found each other. After losing her Grams and me founding out that Katherine was never in the tomb, I guess we both needed someone in our lives. I gently pushed a loose brunette curl away from her face and kissed the tip of her nose before I gently let our noses rub together.
"Good Morning, my beautiful" I said lovingly as I gazed into her chocolate brown eyes. She adjusted her position in the bed so now she was sitting on my lap.
"Morning" she replied lazily as she snuggled deeper into my chest. I chuckled lightly as I pulled the duvet over the both of us. We lay next to each other in perfect silence while I traced up and down her back. I could feel the spark in between my fingers, something I have never felt before; not even with Katherine. Unfortunately, our perfect silence was interrupted when Bonnie's alarm went off at an annoying high pitched tone.
"Urghh" groaned Bonnie and me in unison. Bonnie ignored the alarm and snuggled deeper in the covers whilst pulling a pillow over her ears. I reluctantly, leaned over Bonnie's now submerged body and hit the alarm off. When the annoying sound came to an end, Bonnie uncovered herself and attached her lips to mine, causing us to embrace in a lip lock. I pulled back quickly and sat up so my upper half of my body was resting on the headboard. Bonnie sat up too, and gave me a pouty look and hugged her knees.
"You should probably get to school" I said pointing at the clock on her wall.
"I should, but..." said Bonnie but she didn't finish her sentence as we resumed our passionate kiss. I turned her over so now my body was on top of hers whilst her back was to the mattress. I caressed the sides of her body whilst she entwined her fingers in my hair. I was starting to pull back, but Bonnie was not having it as she held on to my neck with all the strength she had. Unlucky for her, I would always be stronger so I gently released her grip on my neck.
"You know it's usually me who breaks off the kiss early..." said Bonnie innocently as she batted her eyelashes up to me.
"I know, but I don't want you to be late for school" I said truthfully as I climbed out of her bed and pulled on my black jeans and buckled up my belt.
"Funny how just a few weeks you were begging me to skip" said Bonnie quietly as she walked over to me and placed her small hands on my bare chest. I couldn't resist the urge that was to wrap my arms around her small waist as she was only in her underwear, and kiss every inch of visible skin. We held each other for a good few minutes before Bonnie let go and walked over to her bathroom to wash up. I grabbed my shirt from the floor, pulled it on and buttoned it up.
"I'll take you to school if you want" I offered as I put my foot in my boot and tied up the laces. Bonnie emerged from the bathroom, went over to her wardrobe and slung the doors open.
"Yeah that'll be great thanks" replied Bonnie as she starting looking through her wardrobe; taking out various pieces of clothing to inspect them. I walked up to her and wrapped both of my arms around her from behind whilst my chin rested on her shoulder.
"I have nothing to wear!" exclaimed Bonnie frustrated as she threw the pair of shorts she had in her hand at the bottom of her wardrobe.
"I like what you're wearing right now" I whispered seductively in her ear whilst she just giggled and I started to plant small kisses along her shoulder.
"Urgh this will have to do" said Bonnie disappointedly as she picked out a yellow tank top, a pair of denim shorts and a grey cardigan. I reluctantly removed my arms from her waist and let her go to the bathroom too change.
Roughly, ten minutes later Bonnie returned from the bathroom wearing the outfit she had picked put paired with her white converses. I was perched on the end of her bed as I watched her walk up to her dresser and smoothly come out her messy curls. She picked up a black eyeliner pencil and tugged down on her eye to apply the makeup.
"You don't need any of that stuff you know" I admitted from my position on the bed. It was true; Bonnie didn't need any of that makeup, she was beautiful on the inside and out.
"Thanks, but I really do" she assured as she finished applying the last bit of eyeliner. She picked up her bag from the floor and started to messily stuff random books in her bag that she retrieved from her desk.
"Okay I'm ready, let's go" she said finally as she gave her room one last look. I stood up from the bed, took her hand into mine and headed down the stairs. We turned into the kitchen and Bonnie walked straight over to the fridge. I pulled out a chair from the breakfast table and watched as Bonnie poured herself a glass of orange juice and popped a piece of bread into the toaster.
"Want some?" asked Bonnie without thinking. I shook my head and smiled at her.
"Oh right yeah I forgot..you're a Vampire" said Bonnie playfully as one of my favourite smiles of hers came across her lips. Her face lit up when the toaster popped and her piece of toast came out. She quickly put it onto a plate, spread some butter on it and took one huge bite out of it.
"Someone's hungry" I commented as she took her second bite out of the toast. Bonnie simply nodded as she swallowed down her toast like it was the last thing she could do.
"I haven't eaten anything since I was at the Grill yesterday" replied Bonnie as she popped the last piece of toast into her mouth and washed up her plate.
"Speaking of the events that occurred yesterday, I killed Andi" I admitted quietly as I was scared of her reaction.
"I'm glad Damon, what she and Derek did wasn't right" replied Bonnie boldly which surprised me a little.
"Wait so you're not mad that I killed Derek's sis-'' I said but I was cut off by Bonnie who was holding her hand up.
"I don't want to talk about them anymore. They bring up some bad memories that I just really want to forget" Bonnie said sadly as she looked at the floor. I walked up to her and pulled her into a tight embrace.
"I don't like to think about the time when we were apart from each other either, Bon" I whispered into her ear quietly as she wrapped her arms around my waist. We held each other for a few moments, and then Bonnie detached herself from me but held onto my hand.
"I really need to get to school" she said with a laugh and pulled me out the door. We walked hand in hand to my Ferrari and I opened up the passenger door for Bonnie like I did every single time. Once a gentleman always a gentlemen. I revved the engine, reversed out of the Bennett Household and drove towards Robert E Lee High School.
*15 minutes later*
We arrived at the high school and Bonnie leant over to quickly kiss me on the lips. I tried to deepen the kiss as I didn't want to let Bonnie go, but unfortunately she pulled back and opened the car door.
"There will be plenty of time for that later" assured Bonnie as she stepped out of the car.
"Pick you up at 3.30?" I asked.
"Yup, love you!" replied Bonnie happily as she shut the door and sprinted up the concrete stairs to the doors to her high school.
I love you too, Bon I said telepathically as she was already out of hearing distance before I could reply. Although I couldn't see Bonnie I could sense her smile after my words.
Bonnie's POV – Lunch Time
I searched the busy cafeteria for my friends with a tray of food in my hands. My eyes lingered on the room when eventually I spotted my friends waving at me in the corner of the cafeteria. I made my way towards them making sure I didn't drop my tray of food.
"Hey guys!" I said enthusiastically as Elena, Caroline and Stefan gave me confused looks.
"What's with the strange looks?" I asked curiously as I ripped open a straw and pushed it into my soda.
"Nothing Bon, we were just wandering what happened last night with err..Dere-'' started Elena awkwardly. I could feel the uneasy tension building among us so I decided to clear everything up with everyone.
"Everything's fine now El. Derek has left town and his sister, well she's dead" I replied honesty as I looked into the eyes of my three friends.
"Whaa? Andi's dead? Did Damon...?" asked Caroline as she tried to keep her voice down. She had obviously not been filled in of the events of last night by Elena and Stefan as they seemed unfazed by my news.
"Yes Care. Damon killed her. BUT he had every right too" I said bravely defending my boyfriend. If I could I would have killed her myself. Caroline's expression softened as she digested this news.
"Oh, so are you and Damon, like, together again?" asked Caroline nervously as she tried to find the right words to say.
"Yes, we've put everything behind us now, and we're more than happy together" I said happily as a wide grin was creeping onto my face. Just thinking about Damon made my heart flutter, and I just wanted this day to be over so I could get back to him.
"That's great Bonnie! I'm so happy for you!" squealed Caroline as she wrapped her arms around me. I gratefully returned the hug and ushered to Elena for her to join us. I looked over at Stefan who just smiled happily at us.
"Thanks guys, I'm happy too" I replied as the smile on my face met my eyes. All four of us shared smiles between each other and that's when we knew that everything was back to normal...At least for now.
"If you're happy Bonnie, then we're happy" said Stefan happily as he smiled at me.
Damon's POV
3.27 pm. Three minutes until Bonnie is scheduled to get out of school. Three minutes until I see her again. I tapped my finger on the steering wheel impatiently as I watched the clock tick by. 3.29 pm. Teenagers started to bundle out of the school door in groups. I jumped out of the car door and sped over to the passenger door where I leant my back onto and crossed my arms. I watched as Caroline strutted her way out of the doors, we acknowledged each other for a second before she gave me a death glare. I rolled my eyes and focused my attention on looking out for my little witch, who should be coming out very soon.
Minutes passed, and I was still waiting for my little witch to arrive. 3.31 pm. Where is she? As if on cue, Bonnie walked out the school doors, books clutched to her chest and hair being swept back by the wind. When she recognised my presence, my favourite smile of hers spread across her face and I couldn't help but mirror her expression. She sped walked over to me, and I had my arms open ready to engulf her into a hug. Our bodies met and I quickly wrapped my arms around her waist, one of my arms travelling under her jacket and landing on her blouse. I needed to be a little closer to her.
"Hey" I said happily.
"Hey" I heard Bonnie say quietly as her head was buried into my chest. I let out a low chuckle, detached myself from her and opened up the passenger door. She elegantly stepped inside and buckled her seatbelt. I used my heightened speed, and zoomed over to the driver's seat and jumped in all before Bonnie could put her bag on the floor.
"So how was school?" I asked trying to start up a conversation whilst I put the key in the ignition.
"Boring" replied Bonnie instantly. I chuckled and made it out of the school parking lot and onto the main road.
"Got any homework to do?" I asked curiously as I took my eyes off the road for a few seconds to look at her.
"Nope" replied Bonnie with a smile.
"Good so you're free tonight" I said. It was more of a statement than a question.
"I guess so, why?" asked Bonnie as she raised her eyebrow up at me.
"I'm taking you out tonight" I replied as I shot her my 200 kilowatt smile.
"Oooh, what are we doing?" asked Bonnie as her eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Can't say" I replied with a smirk.
"Why not?" asked Bonnie clearly annoyed.
"Because it's a surprise"
"But you know I hate surprises Damon!" protested Bonnie as she fully turned around in her seat to face me.
"I know. That's exactly why I'm doing" I replied stubbornly as Bonnie crossed her arms over her chest.
"Will you at least tell me where you're taking me?" asked Bonnie worriedly as she tried to get the truth out of me.
"I will..when we get there" I replied with one of my most famous smirks, which only made her breathe out with frustration.
"As much as I love you, you can be really annoying" said Bonnie truthfully. At her words, I couldn't help but laugh. Even though we were in love with each other, we would always banter between each just like we did before.
"I know I can be, but you love me too much that you see past that" I replied as leaned in to lightly kiss her on the lips and I could feel her catch her breath in surprise. She kissed me back, but I eventually had to pull back to watch the road.
*15 minutes later*
Bonnie's POV
I tapped my foot impatiently as we drove through different streets and roads which I was familiar with, but if I didn't know any better Damon was probably driving around aimlessly to extend the journey to my annoyance.
"Are we there yet?" I whined as I shot Damon a pouty look which he only returned with his signature smirk.
"Yes in fact we are. But you're going to have to wear this" he said pulling out a scarf from the back seat.
"A scarf? Really? You want me to wear a scarf?" I asked in disbelief as I looked at the turquoise scarf in my hands.
"No silly! You got to wear it as a blindfold. It's all I could find on short notice" explained Damon as he took the scarf from my hands and started twisting it.
"Why do I need to wear a blindfold?" I asked as he placed the scarf over my eyes and gently tied a knot at the back of my head.
"Because I don't want you to see anything until we get there" he answered as he took my hand and helped me get out of the car. I warily stuck my free arm out and felt around in front of me to make sure I wasn't going to walk into anything.
"Don't make me trip over something Damon!" I warned as I took two wary steps forward with Damon guiding me.
"I won't! Don't you trust me?" he asked in a cocky tone which made me roll my eyes behind the blindfold.
"Yeah I guess I do" I confided as I let him drag me through wherever we are. I could feel grass under my feet, and the ground I was walking on was quite soft, like mud. Where could we be?
"Okay watch this log. Bring you right leg over and you shouldn't trip" warned Damon as I did as he instructed and lifted my right leg up and over. But somehow I still managed to get caught on the supposed log and trip. Luckily, before I could fall on my butt, Damon caught me in his arms and hoisted me back up. Tripping over a log? Mud? Hmm, this reminds me of something...
"Still tripping over the same log I see" stated Damon with a chuckle as we proceeded on our journey. From then on, I didn't trip over anything but I gripped onto Damon's hand tighter whenever I felt anything odd under my feet. What seemed like hours, we arrived at our supposed destination and Damon came to a halt.
"Okay we're here" said Damon cheerfully as he came up behind me and removed my blindfold. It took a few seconds for my eyes to adjust, but from what I could see was that we were in the Old Woods (where Damon had taken me for our first date) and a red checked picnic blanket filled with food and drinks was laid on the green grass. I stood there in shock and just stared at the beautiful scenery that unfolded in front of me.
"Did you..do all of this?" I asked in disbelief as I slowly motioned towards the blanket where Damon had already sat on and spread his body out onto.
"Yup. Why are you surprised?" asked Damon raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, it's..it's beautiful!" I exclaimed as I threw my arms around his neck and he pulled me towards him as he lay down on the blanket with me on top of him. After, I pulled back and placed a chaste kiss on his lips before manoeuvred my body so I was sitting on his lap and Damon's arms lightly travelled around my waist until they his hands locked together.
"You hungry?" asked Damon as he picked up the packet of red grapes that he had set out on the blanket. I quickly snatched them from his grasp and started to stuff my face with grapes. Damon chuckled as I offered him up a grape which he gladly accepted and I popped it into his mouth.
"Beautiful day, isn't it?" I asked Damon as I rested my head on his chest and opened up a packet of potato chips and started to chow down on them.
"Not as beautiful as you" he whispered in my ear before kissing me along my cheekbone.
"Want some?" I asked turning my head as I offered him up a potato chip.
"No thanks" he replied with a smile.
"You're loss" I said as I stuffed the potato chip in my mouth. Damon leant forward and picked up a bottle which looked like it held the contains of O Negative. He brought the bottle to his mouth and took a long sip. I watched him drink and I couldn't help but giggle at his actions.
"What's so funny?" asked Damon as he drained the contains of the bottle.
"Nothing it's just sometimes I forget that you're a fang boy" I said with a smile.
"Fang boy? Is that the best you got?" asked Damon with a wide grin.
"Hey! You call me little witch, it's only fair I give you a nickname..." I protested as I pouted my bottom lip.
"Not necessarily...but I guess I could get used to fang boy" he said as he pulled me back on top of him and we resumed our make out session.
After a few minutes of intense lip lock, we eventually parted as I needed to breathe and adjust my shirt which somehow got pushed up. I sat up on the blanket and looked around the woods when my eyes lingered on the lake that was flowing through the woods. I got up from the blanket and walked over to the lake and sat down on one of the rocks. Damon followed me and sat on the rock opposite me, just like he had done a few weeks ago.
A light bulb went off in my head and I instantly had an idea. Without even telling Damon what I was up to, I kicked off my converses and dumped my cardigan on the grass.
"What are you...?" started Damon but before he could finish I had leaped off the current rock I was standing on and dove into the water.
Damon's POV
I watched as she took off her shoes then her cardigan and took a leap for the lake. I stood up in surprise and called out for her.
"Bonnie!"
I waiting for a maximum of three seconds for Bonnie to emerge from the surface, but there was nothing. I could see her body in the water, but she wasn't moving or trying to swim back up. Part of me was wondering if she had drowned, but I quickly dismissed that thought as I remembered Bonnie telling me how she went scuba diving with her Dad when she was younger, so she could obviously swim.
"You'll be freezing when you get out Bon!" I called out teasing her. I bent down and looked deeper into the streaming lake. I could still see Bonnie's body but she wasn't moving. Panicked thoughts ran through my mind and my first instincts were to take off my jacket and shoes to jump in and save Bonnie.
I ripped off certain items of clothing and jumped into the water. The water was quite cold but the temperature didn't affect me. It didn't take me long to find Bonnie's petite waist and I pulled her up to the surface so she could get some oxygen. As soon as her head appeared out of the water she took four deep breaths but suddenly broke out into a chorus of hysterics.
"Bonnie? Bonnie are you okay? It's okay I've got you, just deep breaths okay?" I reassured her as I wrapped my arms around her waist and held her up. She kept giggling and started squirming in my arms.
"I...I..can't..believe...you...you...fell..for..it! Hahahaha" bellowed Bonnie as she tipped her head back and roared with laughter. I shot her a look of confusion and then everything clicked. I moved my arms down her side and started tickling her sides as part of my revenge.
"Hey! Hey! Damon..stop...stop..tickling...me!" exclaimed Bonnie as she tried to push my hands away but failed miserably.
"Say sorry first!" I demanded playfully as I kept up the tickling act.
"Okay! Okay I'm sorry!" apologised Bonnie in between her infectious giggles. I accepted her apology and stopped tickling her but pulled her body closer to mine, our wet clothes sticking to each other.
"That's better" I said proudly and we both leant in for a kiss. I pushed my tongue against Bonnie's lip and she gladly let me enter, which I took full control of deepened the kiss. If I hadn't had a steady hold on the ground, Bonnie and I would have went under.
Bonnie's POV - *15 minutes later*
Damon pulled over at the Salvatore Boarding house and I waited for Damon to open the passenger door for me like he always did. When he did I stepped out and I could feel the water drip down my legs and soak up my socks.
"I really need to change" I commented as we both headed up to the front door and Damon pushed it open.
"You left some of your clothes here last time you were round" informed Damon as he took my hand and lead me upstairs to his bedroom. By the looks of it, Stefan wasn't in; he was probably with Elena or something.
Once we got to Damon's room, Damon walked over to his closet and pulled out a pink tank top and grey sweats which were obviously mine and handed them to me.
"Thank you" I said cheerfully, as I took the clothes from his hands and walked to his bathroom to change. I pulled off my wet clothes, grabbed a towel, quickly dried off and replaced my wet clothes with my dry clothes. I quickly ran a hand through my hair and went out to Damon's bedroom, but he was nowhere to be found.
"Damon?" I asked curiously as I scanned the room. Nope he wasn't here, he is probably downstairs. I walked out of the room and headed down the stairs. The doors to the back garden were open so I assumed that Damon had gone out there. I walked through the large double doors and found Damon looking up at the dark night sky with dry clothes on him. When he noticed my presence he turned around, smiled and opened his arms up for me to join him. I quickly jumped into his arms and cuddled into his warm chest.
"You know when I was a kid, I used to sit outside at night and count how many stars were in the sky" whispered Damon in my ear as he took my hand in his and drew a heart shape in the air. I felt a blush creep upon my cheek and I quickly cuddled deeper into Damon's chest whilst he tightened his grip on my waist.
"But my Father would always call me inside before I could finish" he completed as he kissed the tip of my nose.
"You have all eternity to finish counting how many stars there are in the sky, Damon" I assured as I lifted my head up from his chest.
"All eternity with..You" he whispered back and nuzzled his head in my shoulder and started kissing the side of my neck.
"When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew" muffled Damon against my shoulder. I pulled back in shock and looked him in the eyes.
"Did Damon Salvatore just quote Shakespeare?" I asked disbelievingly. He bent his head down of embarrassment but I put my hand under his chin and lifted it up so he could look at me.
"Your love makes me do crazy things, Bennett!" admitted Damon as he rubbed his nose against mine.
"Well it looks like you're going to get crazier Salvatore, because I'm not going anywhere!" I promised as I pulled him down for a long and passionate kiss. Damon pulled back slightly and looked lovingly in my eyes.
"I will love you forever Bonnie Bennett" he said shyly as he cupped my face in his hands and held me there.
"Forever" I concluded and our lips joined in a passionate kiss.
