"Ooh are we slumming?" Damon asked smirking as he found Zoe in her room alternating
between dancing to music and sipping from a willing victim. His Abercrombie and Fitch shirt
and faded jeans said he was more than likely frat meat.
"Nooo we were brunching," She said licking away the last of the blood before turning to meet
the boys gaze.
"You just had a fantastic time with a girl you meet at a party last night and now it's time to go
home." She whispered watching as he saw himself out.
"After last night I needed a little bit of fun and a straight from the tap kind of snack," She said
pouting slightly.
"Poor Zoey," he whispered placating her with a hug.
"I feel whatever's coming, and its getting closer," She whispered sighing.
"Between the two of us, it doesn't stand a chance," he said with cockiness that she admired.
Only Damon could be so self assured.
"I hope your right D," she said sighing.
"I know what'll cheer you up," he said grinning brightly.
"What's that?" She asked pulling away as she checked her teeth for traces of blood in the
mirror before popping a piece of gum.
"Shopping."
"What for?"She asked recognizing the tone of his voice that said he knew something she didn't.
"For something dressy to wear to dinner at the mansion tonight."
"And the other shoe drops," She replied turning to study him. "I assume the usual suspects will
Be attending."
"You assume correctly. You should be proud, I'm even cooking."
"Oh you're pulling out all the stops, trying to impress Elena? Or has your taste changed?" She
asked arching an eyebrow as a look of uncertainty appeared in his eyes.
"Why do you ask?"
"I remember you having a taste for caramel colored witches not long ago," She said shrugging.
"Hmm, the little witch is quite tempting; but the plans the same," he said sounding like he was
trying to convince himself more than her.
"If you say so," She said in a sing song tone that was such a feminine version of his own he had
to laugh.
"I say so."
"If you want my opinion-"
"I don't," he said grinning as they silently agreed to disagree.
"So what are we making tonight?"
"We'll be starting off with salad with homemade Italian dressing, Chicken Piccata for our main
course and for dessert Tiramisu."
"We should get started then," She said grabbing his hand as she led him from the room.
"I'm glad we have super human speed," Zoe said laughing as she too in the kitchen countered
littered with Trader Joe bags.
"You think we're that out of practice."
"When's the last time you had a meal that wasn't a part of the liquid diet not counting take
out," She said smirking when his brows furrowed.
"Hmm, I guess you have a point."
"We'll do the Tiramisu first so it has time to set."
"It's always dessert before dinner with you," She teased.
"You know me and my indulgences," he said making her laugh.
Falling into a system they talked as he measured and she stirred, whipped and layered.
"I realize now how much I've missed this," Damon said smiling as he took in his coco powder
covered friend.
"We've had a case of wanderlust for the past few decades," She said easing the glass container
into the fridge as he nodded his agreement.
"It might be nice to settle down for a bit."
"Is that an invitation?"
"You know you're always welcomed wherever I am."
"Yes, but a girl likes to hear these things."
"Fine," he said mock sighing. "How about being my roomie for while?"
"Ask me again when whatever this is, is over," She said making him frown.
"Wow you were serious about cooking tonight, I'm surprised," Stefan said entering the room
with Elena trailing behind him.
"It's been too long since we had a proper dinner; I mean what kind of Italian's are we?" He
asked flashing an opened mouthed horrified expression.
"I'm looking forward to tasting it," Elena said smiling as she let her eyes do and up and down
that made Zoe fight back a growl.
Maybe it just ran in Elena's family that one Salvatore wasn't enough. The boys thought her
looking alike status was a fluke, but she thought otherwise. Somewhere along the family tree
the doppelganger was bound to be related.
"I know you'll love it," he said winking a she grinned back.
"I'm taking Elena home so she can get ready, but we'll see you guys later tonight," Stefan said
leading her out.
She was going through her closet when a tap sounded on the window.
"Damon I'll be over your house in less than an hour," She said exasperated as she turned to the
window and smiled at the black raven. Opening the window she stood back allowing it to fly in
and transform.
"Expecting someone else?" Zoe teased.
"You know how much he loves to annoy," She said making her laugh.
"I come bearing gifts," She said motioning to the car parked out front.
"Really?" Bonnie asked excitedly. It'd been a long time since someone had been so thoughtful.
"D and I were shopping for something to wear and we saw a dress and shoes that we knew
would look great on you."
"Wait Damon helped?"
"Oh yeah, he's an awesome shopping partner believe it or not," She said laughing at the girls
doubtful expression.
"I'll be right back with it," she said gone and back with a bag and a shoe box.
"You really didn't have to," she whispered.
"I know, but I wanted to, you're the only family I have left." "Now go try it on." She demanded
smiling as she shooed her into the bathroom.
Unzipping the bag she'd hung on the door Bonnie gasped. The dress was absolutely gorgeous!
Made of chiffon it was a deep green that made her eyes appear jade green. Strapless it had a
corset top that cinched in at the waist in a criss-crossing pattern before flowing to the ground in
a wispy cloud of material. Easing it on she was surprised by the thigh high split that made it just
the right amount of sheik and striking. The shoes were a light gold and wound up her ankle
delicately. They made her feel feminine and sexy; and they had Damon written all over them.
Taking in her reflection in the mirror she shook her head. She looked like she was going to a
movie premiere.
Exiting the bathroom she grinned when Zoe clapped her hands together.
"You look gorgeous!" She whispered admiring her handy work.
D wouldn't know what hit him. She knew he thought he wanted Elena, but she knew Bonnie
was a better match by far. He needed someone who could put him in his place, and she did that
well.
"This is too much."
"Honestly Bonnnie this is chump change. It means more to me to actually have a girlfriend to
have fun with... it's been years since I had that; and even longer since I could share my true
life," she said making Bonnie nod in understanding. The only person who knew about the witch
stuff was Elena.
"What are you wearing?" She asked making Zoe smile again.
"I'll be right back," She said disappearing once more.
"I'll try it on," She said heading into the bathroom to change as Bonnie studied herself in the
mirror and tried to figure out a hairstyle.
"Damn Zoe," Bonnie said whistling as she walked out in a fire engine red one shoulder thigh
length layered dress and four inch black heels.
"I don't mean to pry, but are you actually trying to take Stefan from Elena?" Bonnie asked not
wanting to see her friend hurt even if she had been exhibiting questionable behavior.
"Bon if I was trying, you wouldn't have to ask," She said with a smirk so much like Damon's it
was eerie.
"So this is all about making sure we're not just leaving him with an impostor."
"Yes," She said nodding. " Honestly I will always have love for Stefan, what we had was epic and
to be blunt I'll be here way after Elena is gone," she said shrugging nonchalantly.
"So you'd be with him again."
"In a heart-beat, our parting wasn't mutual."
"Wait... what?"
"He was starting a new lifestyle that didn't fit mine. I was willing to compromise, but he
couldn't. You saw how he was after just one sip, and that was after years of none. It's similar to
being an addict and hanging around someone who uses..." She said sighing sadly.
"I- I'm sorry Zoelle I didn't know."
"Of course you didn't, how could you? It's not something he talks about and mostly we just sort
of carry on as if nothing ever happened."
"So you hadn't seen each other since the break up?" Bonnie asked curiously.
"Not for an extended amount of time, usually on our birthdays, we'd find each other," She said
leaving out the detail about how they acted as if they'd never broken up.
"I respect the fact that he's found happiness Bonnie, I would never wreck that; but if she hurts
him..." She said trailing off as her eyes grew dark and Bonnie shivered.
"You're scary sometimes," She whispered.
"I know," She said laughing wickedly. "You'll learn that sometimes it feels damn good letting
your dark side come out and play."
"Why don't we get ready together?" Bonnie suggested making the girl nod in agreement.
Thirty minutes they were dressed to kill and headed out to Zoe's car. Bonnie had opted to leave
her hair down in loose curls while Zoe went for an upswept chignon paired with sexy locks
falling just below her chin.

"What do you think?" Elena asked twirling in front of the full length mirror in Stefan's room.
"You are stunning," he whispered.
She was wearing a strapless black number that belted to the side at the waist and flowed out
into a layered train.
"Thanks baby," she whispered kissing him.
"You look good enough to eat," She said hungrily eyeing the fine figure he cut in his tailor made
Christian Dior suit. It was a charcoal gray that made his broad shoulders look even broader.
"Thank you, Shall we?" He asked offering his arm to escort her to the library where they were
all meeting for cocktails.
His brother had found some volunteers to serve the dinner him and Zoe had prepared. He
would never tell Elena, but this was something they used to do on a regular basis. It was a way
to keep their old traditions alive and be a family.
"What would you like to drink?" he asked as the bartender for the night asked for their order.
"A strawberry daiquiri," She said making him smile.
"A Strawberry daiquiri for the lady and a scotch on the rocks for me," he said.
"Looks like the girls are going for the fashionably late arrival," Damon said appearing few
minutes later with a drink in hand.
He was striking in a custom made black Armani suit and a blue skinny tie that brought out the
color in his eyes.
"It would seem so," Stefan replied.
"Elena you are breathtaking," he said coming over to kiss her hand.
"Thank you! You're pretty dapper yourself," She responded giving a mock curtsy that made his
stomach clinch. That was a little too Katherine like for him.
"Don't worry boys the party has arrived," Zoe said sweeping into the room as she and Bonnie
made their jaws drop.
"You look fantastic!" Bonnie and Elena squealed rushing over to hug each as they
complimented each other.
"You look fabulous, but you knew that," D said making Zoe smile as she tossed him a wink.
"You are gorgeous as well my dear," She said as they exchanged cheek kisses.
"Stef you look scrumptious, I like the Dior," She said winking as he blushed lightly.
"You look great Zoe," he said casting look at his girlfriend to make sure she was still engrossed
in Bonnie.
"Double Jack and Coke," Zoe told the bartender.
"You look good Zoe," Elena said coming over a moment later with Bonnie.
"And you look stunning, I love the train," She said giving her a polite smile.
"Now that we're all here, should we begin our meal?" Damon asked gesturing everyone
towards the dining room when they all agreed.
"I think we're the luckiest men in Mystic Falls tonight," Damon said always the flatterer.
"Charmed D," Zoe said batting her lashes at him as they all laughed.
Damon said at the head of the table with Bonnie to his left, Zoe to his right and Elena at the
opposite end to the right of Stefan. It was a table with just enough room for six if you didn't
mind being elbow to elbow so it provided an intimate atmosphere.
"This dressing is really good," Bonnie said savoring the rich flavor as she closed her eyes.
"D made it," Zoe said watching his reaction from under her lashes. He always beamed when he
was praised but the way he studied her lips was new.
"I had no idea you were so talented in the kitchen Damon," Elena said smiling sweetly.
"I have many hidden talents," he said practically leering as she rolled her eyes and Stefan
scowled.
"Don't we all?" Zoe added making Stefan smile in thanks at her attempt at intervention.
"What have you seen since you got into town?" Bonnie asked Zoe to keep the conversation
flowing.
"The Grille, The woods, the mall and the mall," She as the girls all laughed and the boys rolled
their eyes.
"At the risk of sounding like a dork, the library here is awesome because it has so much from
our towns history, you might want to stop by there," Bonnie said knowing she'd enjoy seeing
their families' history.
"That's not a bad idea, I think I will check that out," She said flashing a grateful smile.
Making light conversation the dinner flowed and they were well into their Chicken Piccatta
when the tension really began to rise.
"You girl don't know this, but dinners like these used to be the norm for us," Damon said
making his brother narrow his eyes at him.
"Really?" Bonnie and Elena asked genuinely interested in hearing more about their past.
"Oh yes, first with dear old dad growing up and then with our adopted family member here," he
said clearly proud of himself rubbing salt into Elena's wounds by mentioning Zoe's involvement
in their past.
"It wasn't always Italian though." Zoe said shaking her head as she smiled. "We we're eating our
way through the country."
"That was disastrous from time to time," Stefan mumbled grimacing at the memory.
"Yeah usually when you cooked Stef," She teased making him laugh as Elena pointedly avoided
looking at her.
"Hey! I got better!" He said defending himself.
"I'd love to eat something you cooked," Elena said smiling up at him.
"I'm out of practice, but I'll attempt something small," he said making her giggle as he gave her
a gentle smile.
"Really?" Bonnie mouthed making Damon cough to cover his laugh as he shot her a wink. The
whole situation was pretty comical.
The more time he spent chasing after his brothers girlfriend the more he thought he might not
want her after all. She was extremely sweet, young and naïve. It would be a refreshing change
from his usual brief encounters, but it would never stick; and he was finding that might be what
he was looking for. He was too new to devastation to want to be spouting I love you's to
anyone, but I like spending time with you's and a regular bed partner he was up for. Having Zoe
around reminded him how nice it was to have a woman you actually liked around. Studying the
little witch as the two girls went back and forth he found himself intrigued.
She was funny, sincere, sexy as hell without trying and powerful. The fact that he sensed a bad
girl just waiting to get out made her even more of a temptation. Her blood called to him like a
siren even now ;and he felt his gums itch at the thought of corrupting miss purity. Speaking of
purity; it'd been centuries since he'd popped a cherry.
"What was Stefan like then?"Elena asked drawing him back into the conversation.
"Fun," he said dryly making her frown.
"Seriously." She protested.
"I was serious, he was a hell of a lot more laid back," he said knowing it was the girl beside him
who'd seen to that.
"Still the most responsible of all of us though," Zoe added shaking her head as she smiled.
"I think responsibility is hard wired into his DNA," Damon muttered finishing off his main
course.
"Then what happened to you?" Bonnie teased surprising the couple at the opposite end of the
table.
"Being the thoughtful brother that I am, I saved it all for him," he replied cheekily.
"Sure you did," Zoe said smirking.
"Hey what is this gang up on Damon day? I cooked for you ingrates."
"I helped so I'm exempt," she shot back making him smile.
"It's time for my favorite part of any meal, dessert," Damon announced as the servers took
away their plates.
"Some of us don't have to count calories here," Elena teased as Bonnie nodded her head in
agreement.
"Perk of the genes," Damon said smoothly.
He was charming and gorgeous tonight, and that made him more dangerous. She could handle
his sarcastic, narcissistic behavior because it made it easy to ignore the fact that some part of
her was attracted to him. Passing discreet looks as they laughed about the mini war going on
around them had been fun. God was she truly getting so hard up for male attention that she
was reading into things? She needed to go on a date. Clearly Damon had been sabotaging Elena
and Stefan all night.
"Maybe he just wants his brother with his best friend," A little voice said.
Unsettled by the path her thoughts were taking she turned her full attention to the Tiramisu
being placed in front of her.
"This looks delicious," she gushed smiling her thanks at the two cooks.
"You somehow managed to Pick Bon's favorite dessert," Elena supplied explaining her friends
completely blissed out look.
"I'll feed her this every day as long as she makes those sounds," he thought feeling his desire
rise as she moaned lightly.
"I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever need a favor," he said winking.
The conversation died down as they all tucked into their desserts and coffee sobering up.
"Dinner was fantastic," Elena said pushing aside her plate as Damon grinned.
"I know." Damon replied.
"Thanks for inviting me, I'm impressed, "Bonnie added.
"Now that is something I don't hear every day," he said smiling as he felt his brother's gaze on
him.
He'd be hounding him tomorrow asking a million questions about what had happened
between the two of them.
"Since we had such a good time tonight, why don't we make it three for three?" he asked.
"What do you have in mind?" Elena asked curiously.
"Day after tomorrow there's a festival coming to town," he suggested.
"Oh those are always fun!" Bonnie exclaimed.
"Yeah, Caroline will want to go for sure, and she does not take no for an answer," Elena replied.
"Then it's a date!" Damon said cheerfully.
