Catch a kind of buzz that lasts all night."

Doin' What She Likes

"Have you talked to Bonnie?" Caroline asked. I jumped in surprise. I slammed my locker door shut to see my friend leaning against the lockers with her arms crossed and lips pursed.

"No. And I'm not planning to until she apologizes," I told her and Caroline sighed.

"Now is not the time for you two to be fighting. She's still seeing that creepy professor. They're on first name basis. Not to mention Elena is sired to Damon who is totally taking advantage of her."

"Caroline, can we talk about this later? Tomorrow or something. I have to go."

"Where are you in a rush to?"

"Kol and I are celebrating three months tonight. I have to go pick up the Chinese he ordered. And beat him home to change into something sexy. Okay?"

"Oooh. Have fun. Tomorrow I want all the details. Okay?" She said and I giggled.

"Yes. Love you, bye," I said, kissing her cheek and then practically running out of school. I sent a thank you text to Matt for staying clear of the house tonight, he was staying at Tyler's instead.

Where are you? The food is getting cold —Me

Ten minutes away —Kol 🧛🏻‍♂️👅

Good. I'm in the living room. What do you want to watch first? —Me

You pick. I'll see you soon 😘 —Kol 🧛🏻‍♂️👅

I smiled to myself, putting my phone on silent and do not disturb. Tonight was all about Kol and I. There shall be nothing to interrupt our fun. I finished pulling out the food, setting it out onto the table. I also got two large slices of pie from Kol's favorite bakery. Cherry for me, apple for him.

Then I pulled up Netflix, clicking on Friends so Kol and I can pick up where we left off a few weeks ago. In the middle of Season 3. Once that was all I changed in my bedroom. I stripped out of my school clothes until I was completely naked. Then I grabbed the Victoria secret bag from the closet. I put on the nude push up bra, adjusting it quickly. Then I pulled on a nude with black lace trimming thong. Which I never wore, so this would be the first pair I currently own. The other three I've ever bought were long gone in the trash or still with Damon somewhere.

I pulled on short black running shorts and a cardigan to cover myself for now. It was a thick gray cardigan with vertical indented stripes and it came with a small belt that I used to tie it close for now. While I was upstairs I placed candles around the bathroom, of course not lighting them. Yet.

I rushed for the hat hidden in one of my dresser drawers when I heard the front door open the shut. I pulled the tag off the hat before tossing the SnapBack backwards over my head. "Charlie?" Kol called.

"Coming!" I shouted, racing down the stairs to find him in the living room. He turned around to see me, grinning widely. "Are those for me?" I gasped, looking at the bouquet of red roses.
