Disclaimer: I dont own the Vampire Diaries, if I did there would be much Damon, & Bonnie hottness!

Though not overly Bamony, this does I think lay the foundations. I don't know whether to leave it where it is, make it a 2 shot or make it part of a serise od one shots.. all reviews appriciated. I dont consider myself a writer, I'm more of a reader so all pointers are more than welcome. I've put their thoughts in Italics, I hope it hasnt made it too confusing. Still trying to find my style :)

On another note, I had to repost this after correcting lots of spelling mistakes, there are probably lots more so sorry again but hopefully this is a bit easier to read without the mistake of spelling Elena as Elaina.. oops...

Bamon... Bamon... Bamon... Bamon... Bamon... Bamon... Bamon... Bamon... Bamon... Bamon...

Bonnie was sitting in a bar in a town just outside of Mystic Falls, the bar her dad usually drinks in when at home. Its just far enough to get a cab home without being surrounded by people that know your business.
She'd been steadily heading towards tipsy for a while now trying to drown out the thoughts that were threatening to driver her crazy. The Originals were after Elena, they needed to get the moonstone from Katherine, her best friend Caroline had become a vampire and was seemingly OK with it, there were vampires and werewolves and grades.. oh god! she was an A* student currently struggling to pass.. She just wasn't cut out to be a hero. She couldn't protect the town she loved or the people she loved and her powers were threatening to consume her, she couldn't remember ever being so tired in her life!
Smiling up at the cute barman, as a signal for another drink, maybe I'll be brave and talk to him soon. That worked so well for you the last time, the thought jolted her. She hadn't really given guys much of a thought since vampires had come to town, well the Salvatore's really. Bonnie knew they weren't exclusively to blame but she had to place the blame somewhere.. Well there was Carter, which was now another nightmare keeping her awake and she was beginning to suspect Jeremy but that was just.. Its just weird her inner voice piped up.
Swirling the ice around in her glass the hazel eye witch felt the hairs on the back of her neck rise, she felt the energy of the room change and she knew he had entered.
'Oh for f**K sake' she muttered barely audible I really haven't the energy for him today.
"Come on Bonnie, no need to be like that" Damon smirked at her. The smile nowhere near reaching his eyes. Of course he had heard her with his supped Vampire hearing! Dressed in his trademark black shirt, skinny jeans and of course leather jacket he took a seat he signalled to the barman in a familiar way and the barman just turned and got him a drink without asking for his order. What is little Bonnie Bennett doing here I wonder? No one stood up to him the way she did, he couldn't begin to explain why he actually enjoyed it.
He hadn't been there for Bonnie the way he had the other direct descendants of Emily, hadn't needed to be, Shelia, before the drinking was almost as strong as Emily herself.. or would have been if she hadn't left it so late in life to embrace her powers, leaving Bonnie in more than capible hands he had neglected her and put all his energies in planning to save Katherine.
Bonnie made to leave taking out her mobile from her bag to call for a cab. Damon couldn't help but admire the way her jeans clung to her curves or the way the green of her floaty top made the green of her eyes stand out. Of course he'd noticed before that she was hot but sometimes..
"Bonnie stay where you are," Sounding exasperated, Damon swirled ice in his glass "I didn't come her to annoy you, fight with you or even talk to you. We can sit here happily ignoring each other for all I care. I happen to like this place; I didn't know you were here I just wanted a drink away from St Stefan's annoying forehead!"
Sitting back down, Bonnie tucked a stray hair that had fallen from her messy bun behind her ear, "I think I can manage to ignore you"
He smirked at her. "Never met a girl who could yet"
She cursed her self as she felt the corners of her mouth tug upwards towards a smile. Dammit, I hate when he looks at me with that stupid face, its impossible not to think he's hot, because, well.. he's hot! After 150 years plus he knows it as well! You'd have to be blind to not notice his eyes, and his lips look like they were made to be nibbled on.. whoa Bonnie drank a little too much I think.. haha.. "Whatever Damon." Was all she said honestly supprised that she'd managed to keep a straight face.
They sat in an oddly comfortable silence for a while both lost in their own thoughts...
"I'm sorry Bonnie" the words were out of Damon's mouth before he'd realized he'd even thought them what the f**k? Well I can't take it back now. Long time coming really, I should have protected Shelia, and in the end it was all for nothing.
The startled look on her face left him feel about an inch tall, it wasn't a feeling that sat well. "Wh.. What for?" She wanted to kick herself for the stammer, weakness in front of Damon was never good, being drunk was bad enough.
It seemed as though time stood still what could only have been seconds seemed to take hours until blue eyes finally met tear filled hazel eyes. "For everything." He answered honestly "I can't take any of it back but I am sorry for it. Your too young to carry so much hate around though little witch, don't let it consume you, don't let it turn you into me."
"I don't hate you Damon," She couldn't tear her gaze away from his intense stare. He'd sounded so sad and sincere. "I may have only just realised as the words came out of my mouth... but I dont hate you" a small smile graced her face and Damon couldnt remeber if he'd ever felt so relieved. "I accept your apology and I'm sorry too." Bonnie actually chuckled at the look of surprise on his face. " I mean I was overly harsh to you because all the problems in my life started when you entered it. Your not responsible though, not alone anyway, for what happened to Grams or Caroline, or Elena even, but, but I've managed to blame you and your obsession with Katherine and Elena for everything.. And I'm sorry"
"Apology accepted." Nodding into his drink the blue eyed Vampire started to smirk. " I knew you wouldn't be able to ignore me."
She smacked his arm with the back of her hand, but she was laughing, the tension all but decimated. "I should actually get going its late, I need to pretend the world hast gone crazy at school tomorrow so…" I don't really wanna leave though but what will I do if he asks me to stay? Its not as though we're friends!
"Bonnie stay where you are" he echoed from when he first arrived. "the night is still young, I can compel your teachers you dont even have to go to school" why do I care if she goes or not? I want to see her smile. Wait. Why do I want that? She's Bonnie Bennet! It'll make me look with Elena. Yeah right Elena hasn't popped into my head the entire night!
"I really hope your joking about the teachers.. but thank you. Maybe some other time?" Her eyelashes fluttered at him as she smiled up at him through them. OMG what am I doing? Flirting with Damon Salvatore? Lost my mind. Shaking her head at herself, Bonnie stood to leave, "Enjoy the rest of your night Damon" She hadn't said it but he'd heard it in his head loud and clear, as she swaggered off towards the exit. Damon once more admired the sight of her.
"Bonnie" he called towards her as she was exiting with her cell pressed to her ear for a cab. "some other time for sure!" he smiled at her as she smiled at him, both full wattage and blinding. wow, how have I not noticed how beautiful she is when she smiles before? Probably becasue shes never smiled at you! "Sweet dreams Bonnie B" She heard in her head as the boor closed behind her.

A/N Well.. a bit pre Bamon but I think I have a 2nd part to this.. not too sure on it yet, This has been swiminng round my head and keeping my awake at night, hopefully I did their characters justice. :) not been beta'd so I'm sorry for any mistakes.
