The Fight (Stefonnie)

Chapter 5

Stefan reached out as he woke up not really sure what for since no one has slept beside him in four years but he figures it was because Bonnie was on his mind last night. He worried about how she was really feeling and how well she's sleeping but stopped when he realized that he shouldn't worry on anything because he believed that God has everything under control, so he stopped his worrying and prayed instead. His once heavy heart lost weight and reached over to cut his alarm off before it woke up Bonnie. She slept over last night and since they were dating, he felt a little weird to have her sleep in the guest room, but she got ready and slept in there with no questions asked; he didn't say anything and she made herself right at home in there.

He completed his morning routine which consisted of a shower, face washing and teeth brushing followed by flossing then messing with his hair. Stefan reached in his closet pulling out his uniform and as Bonnie knocked, Stefan was finishing tying his shoe.

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to annoy you, but do you want me to make breakfast?"

"Yeah, thanks."

"Great." She smiled and turned walking down the hall.

He smiled walking in the kitchen hearing her mumble while opening cabinet after cabinet until she found what she needed.

"Need any help?" He asked startling her.

"Oh! Stefan," she saw the amused look on his face and gave him a look, "I'm fine but have a seat, I'll pour you some coffee."

He did as he was told and shorty a mug was placed in front of him and he watched her face as she poured the dark liquid in. She sat sugar and creme beside him and went back to work. He didn't touch his coffee at all as she was cooking, he just watched her and couldn't stop himself from picturing his future self walk up behind her to wrap his arms around her and kiss her neck before she turns in his arms and they share a kiss on the lips. His hands would run up her growing stomach because she'll be carrying their child and he'd place a kiss there too.

"Bon appetite."

Bonnie smiled down at her work then looked at him noticing that he was already looking at her. Her eyes changed view to his coffee which was still full and she realized that he hadn't even taken a sip. Was he watching her the whole time? She had to smile.

"Thanks," he never removed his eyes from hers.

Bonnie kissed him then turned away to fix a plate herself. She turned back once she was finished and quickly got started on a conversation.

"Did you always want to be a cop?"

"No, I wanted to be a lawyer."

"Really?"

"No, I'm just kidding."

"Oh-"

"Why did you sound so shocked when I told you that?"

Bonnie shrugged and took a bite because she knew that he wouldn't eat unless she was herself. "I mean," she started cutting up her hash browns, "a cop and a lawyer are two completely different things."

"I guess... I should've said a fireman or something."

"Yeah, you have the face for it."

"I have the face for it?"

"Yeah I mean a lot of those guys share a similar characteristic with the fire."

She smiled as he thought about what she said.

"Are you calling me hot?"

She only chuckled and continued with eating. She noticed that his eyes were on her. She felt so shy under his gaze, she doesn't know why, plenty of men had looked at her before with eyes filled with lust and desire but she then realized that those emotions weren't present in his eyes.
