Sway (Stefonnie)

Chapter 13

After their fun weekend at the beach, Stefan dropped Bonnie off at her house and headed home himself. Prom was coming up and he wanted to think of the perfect way to ask her. He didn't mind spending whatever amount necessary because he knew that she would say 'yes' so now all he had to think about was what to do. He wanted to be original but he was running out of time to think of something too unique.

Once he figured out a way, he asked Caroline and Elena to distract her for a few hours while he set up.

Bonnie was ready to see Stefan. Her friends took her place after place and she didn't even know what for. She's been so busy that she couldn't find the time to text or call him. Bonnie sighed in relief when they announced that they were taking her home and Caroline and Elena were trying to keep normal even though they were filled with excitement as they pulled into Bonnie's neighborhood. Bonnie gasped as she saw a trail of rose petals lead up her driveway into the house.

"What is going on?" Bonnie asked the girls up front.

"I don't know." Both of them said acting clueless.

Bonnie got out the car and waved her friends goodbye then started following the trail. She couldn't stop her wide smile from appearing on her face as she spotted more of the petal trail and in her living room had small lit candles here and there. She followed the trail to the kitchen which led her to the refrigerator. Opening it she spotted a single pink rose, smelt it and followed the red trail back into the living room leading her upstairs.

Sitting on top of a pile of rose petals was a long, black jewelry box resting beside another pink rose. Bonnie almost dropped the roses in her hand when she opened the box because inside was a sparkling diamond bracelet. She was itching to put it on, but she figured that she should follow the rest of the trail first.

Outside her door was another rose and gift. The jewelry box was square instead of rectangular and opening it was a matching necklace to her bracelet. She felt like crying whatever Stefan was doing was too sweet and she started to feel as if she forgot their anniversary or another special date between them. Opening the door to her room, she actually started to let some tears flow. On her bed written in rose petals was the word 'PROM?'. Stefan suddenly emerged from her connected bathroom with a bouquet pink roses.

"Will you do me the honor of being my prom date, Bonnie?"

Setting her gifts down on top of her dresser, she ran over to Stefan hugging him tightly before kissing him.

"Of course I will."

They both smiled and connected their lips again. Bonnie set the roses in Stefan's hand down and walked him to her bed.

Bonnie's head was resting on Stefan's chest while his hands traced shapes on her bare back for she was lying right on top of him.

"You're too sweet to me, Stefan." Bonnie said lifting her chin so she could see his eyes.

"You deserve it."

Bonnie smiled laying back down. She knew that she didn't deserve the way Stefan was treating her, she's not a good person and hasn't been for a while. She's done things that she's ashamed of and now that she's had some time to think about it with her time with Stefan she couldn't believe how she let herself slip. If Stefan knew the things that she had done before she met him, she was sure that he wouldn't have stuck around. He would've just screwed her and be on his way like the rest of them.

"Bonnie I know what you're thinking and I mean what I say. You deserve it." Stefan felt her tense up and stiffen which told him that she didn't feel like she deserved anything.

"We all have a past but sometimes it's best if we leave all the shit we've done in the past and focus on the now. Right here. You and me. That's all that matters."

Stefan's hands moved her face so he could look in her eyes.

"I love you, Bonnie. All of you and I need you to know that. You've been through so much and it's about damn time that you start being treated how you really deserve."

"I love you, Stefan. So much."

Stefan wiped the tears from her eyes and connected their lips.

A/N: Aww, Stefan is the best.
