Bonnie began the long slow trudge up the ten flights of stairs to her apartment with what felt like the fiftieth box. She was excited about moving out of home for the first time to a new city and beginning her study, but all this shifting of her belongings was beginning to drag her down.

"Ugh why did I have to move to a top floor apartment in a unit block with no lift!" sighed bonnie to herself.

By the third flight of stairs bonnie had slowed to a snails' pace and she was beginning to worry she would never make it to the top. As she huffed out a big breath, blowing her fringe up and readjusting the large box, she could hear someone whistling coming up the stairs and they were quickly closing in on her.

"Let me just put this box down and I'll move out of your way so you can get past" shaking her head bonnie slowly knelt down putting her box to the side. Great she thought it's going to take every last ounce of strength to lift that box back up.

"Hey, sorry I wasn't catching up to you so I could get past, I was running up here to see if I could be of any assistance" huffed the stranger up to bonnie.

Bonnie turned to see her helpful neighbour and was pleasantly surprised by what she saw. He was definitely good looking, but by the smirk he was giving her she was sure he knew it. He had messy brown hair, gorgeous thick brown eyebrows and piercing hazel eyes.

"Hi I'm Kol….." smiled Kol to his new neighbour. Looking her quickly up and down he was glad he'd caught up to her.

Wow that's a smile that would make any girl melt. "Hi …. Bonnie and yes I would love some assistance. Thanks so much. But I should warn you I am on the top floor" Bonnie grinned back.

"Not to worry, so am I" Kol leant down to pick up Bonnie's box with ease taking the opportunity to check out her ass as he did. He definitely liked what he saw.

"So you must be Rebekah's new roommate?" Kol proceeded up the stairs ahead of Bonnie. She was taking her time to admire the view of her new neighbour in his dirty denim jeans.

"Ahhh… yeah I am… how'd you guess?" Bonnie questioned.

"Well remember two seconds ago when I said I was on the top floor too? Well…..seeing as there's only two apartments on the top floor and I live in one of them, simple case of deduction…unless your moving in with me" Kol joked raising a questioning eyebrow at her.

"Oh yeah Duh stupid me….."lightly slapping herself on her forehead. "I've just been moving all day and I'm beat physically and obviously by that last question mentally as well". It had been a long day and Bonnie was looking forward to crashing out in her new room.

"Nah don't be so hard on yourself… the other more obvious thing was that you were moving in without any help. Only Rebekah would see carrying boxes up ten flights of stairs beneath her" Kol smirked at Bonnie "Some folks have people they pay to do their dirty work while commoners like us have to do it ourselves" joked Kol nudging Bonnie lightly in the ribs.

"Yeah I guess" replied Bonnie not really listening to Kol. She was so tired from moving all day she was almost sleep walking up the last flight of stairs. Staring off into space she was just happy Kol had run into her and was now carrying the last of her boxes to her door it was a small silver lining to her crappy day.

"Well...here we are!" announced Kol handing Bonnie back her box.

"Thanks again, can I invite you in for a cup of tea, juice,water or some other beverage? To say thanks…. I mean I think Rebekah". Kol her off before she could finish.

"Ahhhh… no I'll leave you to it, besides you look beat and I don't want to hold you up from the nap your obviously dying to take as soon as you put that box down" Laughed Kol retreating across the hall "Anyway, I'm sure we'll see each other again soon" smirking to himself, he was going to do everything he could to make sure of that.

Bonnie managed to get her keys out and turn them in the lock. Rebekah looked up not having moved from her spot on the couch as Bonnie pushed open the door, "Oh hey that was quick. I'm only halfway through this nail." Genuine surprise on her face as she continued painting her nails a sparkly pink

"Well it would've been my slowest I'm sure had it not been for your hunky neighbour" Bonnie walked over to her room to drop her last box on the floor. Rebecca whipped her head around to her. "What did you say?! Hunky neighbour?! Surely you're not referring to KOL? Now tell me you do not find that repulsive pig even remotely attractive?"

Oooh hit a nerve there thought Bonnie, maybe there was more to Kol saying no to coming inside than he let on. "Well he was a perfect gentleman to me, even carried my box all the way up the stairs, why what's wrong with him?" Rebekah's sudden outburst about Kol had definitely peaked her interest.

"Oh it's a long story" dismissed Rebekah with a wave of her hand "But the short of it is that he's a serial womanizer and quite a few of my friends have been on the receiving end of his antics". Bonnie could feel the venom in her voice.

"Well that's justified the repulsive pig comment, have you ever…?"Bonnie asked raising her eyebrows towards Rebecca. "Ugh Yuck. No definitely not" Rebecca cut her off before she could finish," besides I don't go for that I just rolled out of bed, scruffy, bad boy look. Unfortunately my friends don't have the same impeccable taste in men that I do" Rebecca sighed to her outstretched hand waving her nail polish dry. "Please don't tell me your even thinking of going there" Rebecca almost pleaded to Bonnie.

"Well no…. not now you've told me that." Bonnie walked over to the seat opposite Rebekah and plonked down sighing" Although I was slightly taken by his smirks and smiles" Bonnie smiled over at Rebecca's look of outrage. "Oh really! ?" she asked narrowing her eyes at Bonnie.

Bonnie couldn't contain it anymore and burst out in fits of laughter "Nah. I was just trying to rile you up" she was laughing so hard she was clutching at her sides watching Rebekah face turn from outrage to relief back to outrage at being played. "Ugh, if my nails were dry I'd throw this cushion at your head" Rebekah was exasperated at the thought that her new flatmate, whom she'd grown quite fond of in the first few hours of meeting her, might have fallen under Kol's spell like her friends. Thankfully it seemed that Bonnie had her head on straight to see through Kol's so called charming ways.

"Oh well at least I got him to carry my box upstairs for me" Bonnie winked to Rebecca getting up to start the long slow process of unpacking. "Hey are you in or out tonight?"

"Out, I've got a date with this guy I've just started seeing" Rebekah smiled to herself picturing the romantic night ahead with Stefan. "ooh details, details please" Bonnie was happy to delay her unpacking for the next half an hour while Rebekah gushed about her new man she'd met getting coffee on Wednesday morning.

"Well I'm off, don't stay up Bonnie" winking as she walked to the door. "Wow you look great" Bonnie was impressed at Rebehah's transformation from sweatpants and hoodie into 1920's style glam chic. "Stefan's taking me out to a twenties club so I thought I'd try and look the part". "Oh and help yourself to any leftovers in the fridge I know you haven't had a chance to get to the shops yet, so as they say 'what's mine is yours'" Bonnie smiled as Rebekah disappeared out the door, her new life in New York was turning out alright. She had managed to find an awesome place to live (minus the broken lift) her flatmate was great and her new neighbour well….. even if he was a ladies man he was at least easy on the eye.
