Before You Were Mine

Twenty-Three

A/N: Hey all. So sorry it's taken forever for me to update this. I promise I haven't forgotten about it. Just had some trouble coming up with an idea. However, I think I've finally figured something out. Even though it's probably not what you all are expecting. Please, remember that this story will end with a Stelena, Bamon and Forwood endgame. ;)

Enjoy!

Before You Were Mine- Chapter Twenty Three

-Bonnie-

"Bonnie!" He shouts out the moment that he steps through the door. I can feel my heart rate pick up just when my eyes lay on him and he grins widely. "If only I could come home to the sight of you looking this sexy every night." Damon teases, licking his lips and allowing the door to slam shut behind him while I watch the bag in his hand drop to the ground and he grins widely, wrapping me into his embrace. "I don't have much time, the guys and I are going out to celebrate tonight. We did good today, saved a few lucky lives." He tells me, kissing my forehead and looking around the room with a perplexed look.

"What's all this?" He asks, finally noticing the flowers leading to the bathroom, the candles flickering in the windowsill. It was my way of making things romantic and now, my amazing and handsome fiancee. Has officially killed this girls mood. I can't say that I haven't been preparing the apartment for his arrival with candles while picking out a sexy outfit to wear just for him. Because, I have and now- it's ruined just by him telling me that he's got other plans.

"I wish you would have told me earlier." I comment with a disappointed tone, taking a seat back on the couch as Damon steps over my legs and shrugs his shoulders back while stripping off his jacket and tossing it into a corner. "I didn't know about it until I was already on my way here. Stefan suggested meeting up tonight. Last minute plans, I'm sorry."

I sigh out a breath, holding out my phone and staring at it blankly for a long time. "You could have told me." I snap at him, forcing Damon to stop in the hallway as he stares up at me. "Bon, I promise that I'll make it up to you. I promise, tonight when I get back. We'll pick up where we left off in the car at Caroline's Halloween party. You know, before Tyler knocked on the window and told us to get a room." He adds in with a joking manner as I roll my eyes. Being away from Damon like this is one of the biggest things that I hate about his job. However, I understand that he needs to do it, so I bite my tongue. "Fine, have fun with your brother tonight. I've got other plans anyways."

Damon cocks his head to the side, leaning his shoulder against the hallway wall. "Really? With who?" A pinging noise on my cell phone tears me away from my conversation with Damon as I notice it's Elena who has been texting me.

Elena: Thought we could have a girls night, talk about the cabin plans for when we go up there. The guys are all apparently going out tonight and I'm bored. We can order pizza and watch some trashy movies at Stefan's apartment. How's that sound?

Tossing a pillow back on to the couch from behind me, I look up at Damon before replying to Elena with a simple Be there in 20 minutes text message. The curiosity in his blue eyes makes me laugh a little as I turn the phone around and reply. "Elena, I have plans with Elena."

"I still can't believe you're living with him." I comment with a small smile, watching Elena lean forward and grab a slice of hot pizza from the box in between us, we've been together for a few hours, talking about things and just when the pizza arrived, we got into talking about Stefan. The red sauce drips down her chin as she tries to suck down the cheese while attempting to talk and laugh at the same time. "Yeah, neither can I. But, this living arraignment between us is just temporary, Bon. To be honest, I'm still trying to figure out what Stefan and I are doing with each other."
