Release Me

Chapter Eleven

Damon and Bonnie sat on the lakeside for hours, letting all their cares and worries slowly take off with the lingering sun.

She lay her head deeper into his chest, watching the clouds slowly drift into nothingness while she fiddled with his fingers that protectively hugged around her waist.

"Lets hit the road?" Damon quietly intervened
"And go back home? Yes I think that's a great idea Damon" she sarcastically snapped
"Hell no bon bon, I had something better in mind."
She could hear the smirk in his voice.

"Okay I'm not following" she stated

"From the sounds of things your life has been pretty miserable for the past... well you know the jig of it all so, that being said let's go! Just me and you."

Bonnie was now facing him looking uneasy about the whole ordeal.

"Let's go on a road trip and sightsee? Do tourist things like normal people would." He finished with hope in his voice.

"Damon we can't-" she said breaking it to him in a soft voice.

He gave her a defeated look clearly hurt by her rejection before she shot him a quick grin and proceeded.
"We don't have our stuff yet" she smirked earning one back.

"We don't need that stuff" he replied standing up "we'll just buy things on our way. Let's be real, I'm loaded and well I know you're not too far behind me, not that I'd let you pay anyway, so what do you say?" He asked hopeful, reaching out a hand to help her up.

"Can we get burgers?" She sweetly retorted taking his hand as he pulled her up.

"Sure thing Mio Caro"

After dinner they made a pit stop at the store to pick up some essentials.

Waiting for Damon to bring the cart she scanned her eyes looking for what she wanted. By the time he made his way to her she had her arms full with all kinds of junk.

"What happened to health freak Bonnie?" He asked genuinely amused.

"Living healthy is boring. I don't have time for that anymore." She shrugged throwing her stuff in the cart.

"We're going to get fat" he teased grazing his rock hard abs.

"Oh please" she rolled her eyes again.

They drove for another hour looking for a motel that didn't look infested with bed bugs and roaches.

Bonnie stared out the window with her knees tucked under her chin and gave herself the smallest smile for being okay for the most part of the day.

Damon reached his hand out and lightly grazed Bonnies thigh letting her know they had found their destination.

He ran around and opened her door lending a hand of assistance as she stumbled getting out.

Damon then proceeded to reception to get a room for the pair.

Realising how tired she was, he unlocked the door and led her straight to the bed, taking her jacket and hanging it up. Bonnie sloppily attempted to take her shoes and clothes off but stopped once she realised how much effort she had to put into it.

"I got ya" Damon heaved helping her out of her shoes, shirt and then pants. It took everything in him to not jump her bones right then and there so he decided remove himself and gather their things from the car.

He sat in the car for a little trying to rid his mind of the thoughts he was having about Bonnie. He didn't want any surprise visits if you know what I mean.

To his surprise, when he walked back in she was sitting up under the covers in only her bra and underwear wide awake. He couldn't help his eyes from moving their way from her pretty little eyes down to her toned stomach causing butterflies in his.

"Staring's rude Damon" she teased.
"I'm just surprised you're still awake that's all. When did you get your belly button pierced? I thought you said they were trashy?" He stared matter of factly.
"On me it's cute. When did you become some interested in my body huh?" She smirked raising an eyebrow.
"Don't tempt me witchy" he said in a sing-song tune.
She giggled "Could you please pass me some snacks? Surprise me" She yawned out.

He stripped down before getting in to bed next to her and creating a barrier of snacks between them.

••••

Damon awoke to the sound of Bonnies sweet voice humming from the shower.

His thoughts were interrupted by the annoying buzz of her phone sounding a call from none other than Caroline.

*12 missed calls*
*24 new text messages*

Damon groaned as he rolled out of the concrete hard bed with a kink in his neck and walked to the bathroom.

"Hey Bon Caroline's calling for the eighty forth time today. You wanna take it?" He asked through the curtain.

"Hell no. Could you please pass me my towel?" She replied with a hand out, quickly snatching it back when she realised her completely exposed arms.

Damon reached in to the shower and pulled her arms back out. As much as she tried to fight him off his hold on her wrists was too strong.

He stared at the markings on her skin feeling sick to his stomach, he ran his fingers across her still slightly broken skin.

"Bonnie" he piped out, voice breaking.
"We aren't doing this right now" she said breaking from his hold.

••••

The next few days on the road went by quietly. Bonnie refused to look his way afraid he'd make them talk about the elephant in the room.

"No more hiding Bonnie" she thought.

She leaned back and into her seat and took a deep breath before opening her suddenly patched mouth to speak.

"Can we pull over at the next stop? If we're really going to do this, might as well get it all out." Bonnie sighed in disappointed at the weak nod Damon gave her in response.
