The Fight (Stefonnie)

Chapter 2

It was burning hot outside and all she wanted to do was go home and chomp down on ice cubes, but instead she was standing outside waiting for her next customer. The humidity really made the guys roll in for whatever the reason but she wouldn't complain, more money for her.

She stepped up when a car stopped right in front of her and hyped herself up in her head and leaned down looking inside the car. Her mouth went dry eyeing— "Officer Salvatore... I thought that was you." She said covering then added a smile.

"What are you doing out here?"

"Oh, you know, just going for a walk. It's so hot that I had to stop for a break." She wasn't sure if he bought it or not because his shades were covering his eyes.

"Come on, get in."

"Are you going to arrest me?"

"Why, you were just going for a walk, remember?" She wanted to slap herself but instead opened the door getting inside. "And besides, it's Sunday and I'm always off on Sunday's."

She nodded then buckled up when he reminded her to do so before he pulled off. She kept her eyes forward not wanting to look over at him as he drove. She has no idea why she actually got into his car and starts to wonder where he's taking her. When he passed the station she allows herself to breathe then decided to focus on the music.

She narrows her eyes never hearing this song before but once she heard the name 'Jesus', she knows exactly why she's never heard this song before.

She looked over at him through the corner of her eyes noticing that he was a little dressed up so he probably just got back from church service. She returned her eyes back up front as he pulled into iHop and parked.

"I hope you're hungry or just in need of some AC." She watched him reach in the back seat grabbing his suit jacket that he decided to not wear and handed it to her. "Just in case you get a little cold."

She then became aware of her attire then grabbed the jacket. "Thanks."

He nodded then opened his door and just as she was reaching over to open hers, Stefan beat her to the punch. She tried to wipe the shocked look off of her face as she got out but wasn't sure if she succeeded or not.

Her body warmed even more when he placed his hand on her lower back for a split second then reached to open the door to the restaurant. She thanked him as she walked inside and shortly after that, they were seated in a booth sitting across from one another.

"So, do you bring all the girls here?"

He chuckled. "Nah, when I do come here, I'm usually here with one of my buddies, so consider yourself special."

She smiled but then remembered to not let her guard down too much and looked down at her menu. She felt his eyes on her but forced hers to stay looking down.

"You know, you look very familiar, I just...can't put my finger on it."

She looked up at him watching him study her. "I'm usually good with faces. I don't think we've met before other than a few nights ago."

He still looks at her then his eyes move up to the waiter's to who he smiles at and placed his order. She couldn't help but feel a little jealous since when she was basically in this waitresses position, he barely gave her his eyes, but as the brunette turned to her, she was forced out of that thought and onto ordering. A minute later, their drinks were in front of them and Bonnie took a sip of her Coke loving how strong it was and not watered down.

"So, Bonnie, where are you from?"

She sighed. "Here, I guess."

"You guess?"
