Chapter 1
Bonnie POV
Bonnie Bennett, best friends with Caroline Forbes and Elena Gilbert. I've always been the loyal friend, the A+ student, and the "nun" according to my best friends. Summer has just started and my friends had managed to grab me away from in front of the television and had managed to convince me that I needed a makeover badly. I didn't find a fault with my wardrobe, but Caroline described it as a fashion disaster. We entered the mall and they had no mercy on me as we entered shop after shop for the perfect summer outfits. I had no idea what the big fuss was all about. It's not like a had a boyfriend to dress up for and I've always just been the "geek friend" of "fashionista" Caroline Forbes and the "oh so pretty" Elena Gilbert.
"Seriously Bon, you have to get out more this summer. And if you thought I was taking you out with your baggy clothes, you are terribly mistaken" Caroline said.
Gee thanks.."Real subtle Care" I said.
"I'm sorry, but it's time you heard the ugly truth. Better to hear it from me or Lena" Caroline said.
"Look Bon, we just want to help you. Your young, beautifull, smart and funny. It's time that people start realising that" Elena chimned in.
"Yeah, what she said" Caroline smiled excitedly
"Fine, but nothing too short or tight" I said stubborn
"Yeah yeah, just get your cute butt in these clothes" Caroline rolled her eyes dramatically
It took us a couple of hours to put together the perfect summer wardrobe for me. We stopped by the Mystic Grille after shopping. We found a booth and ordered some lunch.
"So how's things going with Stefan?" I inquired
"Things are going great. I fall more and more inlove with him everyday" Elena gushed receiving "awws" from me and Caroline
"We should get you a guy too Bonnie. I mean look at Elena and Stefan and me and Matt. It'd be so great if you could have that too. And we could finally tripple date!" Caroline gushed excitedly
"Yeah Bon. Actually Stefan mentioned that his brother is single. And he's a real catch too. Come on, what do you say?" Elena asked hopeful
"I don't know Lena. I don't just want physical attraction. I want to share something stronger with someone."
"And Damon could be that someone!" Caroline gushed
"Damon? That's his name? I don't even like it. Plus you know I don't do blind dates" I replied sipping on my coffee
"Come on Bon, just give it a try. We'll even be there when Stefan introduce you guys. And if you don't like him, we'll find you somebody else" Elena whined
"Just do this one thing for yourself Bon" Caroline joined in with a glint in her eyes
"Fine" I gave in "But just because he is Stefan's brother doesn't mean I'll suck up his bullshit"
"That's if he is an asshole" Caroline corrected checking her cellphone
"Yeah, he is probably more romantic than Stefan is"
"I don't think you get more romantic than Stefan. He's like your own Romeo" the girls giggled
After lunch I made my way home. I'm glad we did this girls shopping day. Or makeover. Between Care and Elena's boyfriends and school we barely got to spend time together lately. That could probably all change tomorrow when I meet this Damon guy. What if he was my Romeo? I wondered climbing into bed. Well guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow. I snuggled into my comfy bed and drifted off to sleep.
My palms are sweating. Wait, why am I even nervous? It's just a blind date Bonnie. Get yourself together! Chances are I probably won't even like the guy. I don't even know why I agreed to this. Maybe because I've always wanted a summer romance and this could be my chance. Or maybe it's because I don't want to be the single friend anymore. Well it doesn't really matter since I can't even decide what to wear to the stupid get together. Obviously I want to impress the guy, but I don't want to seem too desperate. White cut off shorts, with a cute blue and white striped tank top and sandals it is then. I decide to just pull my hair up in a messy bun on top of my head and put on some eyeliner and pink lip gloss.
As I stand there and look at myself in the full length mirror, I'm pretty pleased with the end result. This is my first blind date and I don't want to get my hopes up. The people in my life had always found a way to disappoint me and that left me with the few secure people I have now. But I don't want to get all Debbie Downer and think about the negative. This summer is here for a fresh start and trying new things, being adventurous and getting to experience the more exciting things life has to offer.
"Seriously Elena, the guy is late! I thought being a bit open-minded might pay off, but it's just pissing me off. No he is pissing me off and I haven't even met him yet!" I stated agitated.
I don't know why I let this whole thing get to me. I mean, I should be used to this stuff by now. People blowing me off? Yeah, so normal. I hate that I even thought for a second that for once things are going to go in my favour and I might get a shot at this whole being lucky thing.
"Look Bon, I know this is not an ideal start for Damon and he is so not making a good impression right now, but just give it a few more minutes. Please" Elena begged
"Fine, but if we're gonna wait we might as well get a drink while we're doing that"
"Starting the party without me? Now that's not good" a smooth silky voice drifted into the kitchen
Oh no he didn't!
"Oh this must be Damon who has finally graced us with his precence" I stated clearly annoyed, turning around.
I was met face to face with probably one of the most handsome guys I've ever met in my life. No, the most handsome guy I've ever met. We gave each other a look over from head to toe. He was wearing a tight black v-neck shirt hugging his muscles. Some dark wash jeans fitting him perfectly and his hair was just a mess. A mess which made him look even more sexy. And then our eyes met. And I just got lost in oceans of blue. His eyes obviously hiding a hint of amusement, but they also had this way of drawing me in and I just found it incredibly hard to look away.
"See something you like?" he asked, a smirk playing on his face.
"Just trying to figure out why the hell you're so worth waiting for" I said, clearly annoyed by his arrogant demeanour.
"Ooh feisty. I like it. Well I could show you better than I could tell you" he winked.
"I'd rather not" I rolled my eyes "Elena, if you'd excuse me. I'm sure I've got something better to do with my time" I brushed past both of them leaving the kitchen heading towards the front door.
"Bonnie wait!" Elena rushed towards me "Where are you going? I haven't even formally introduced you guys yet"
"Well I don't really see the need to since he is clearly not the kind of guy I'd want to have a blind date with and I'm sure we won't be seeing much of each other" I stated folding my arms across my chest.
"Ha! I could have your opinion changed about me in 5 minutes" he stated walking towards me and backing me up against the wall
'What are you doing?" I asked trying to get away form him getting nervous all of a sudden
He leaned down coming to eye level and whispered against my lips "Make that 2 minutes"
