"Ok, before we go to the Augustine House, we need to stop at the store."- Bonnie said.

"What?" - Kol looked at the witch a bit gone out.

"I said we got to stop at the store."

"I understand English. But what the Hell for?"

"I need - do I have to spell it out to you? I need to go to a store asap. There - stop. "

Kol slammed on the breaks, pulling up in front of a convenient store, like race car driver, with great precission.

As Bonnie got out of the car, he followed her.

" I will only be a minute, you don't have to come."

"I'm hungry."

Bonnie now stopped in front of the Original, her dark chocolate eyes blazing at him-

"You will not drink from anyone in the store."

"I will only have a pint. I will not kill them. Remember, I can't drink over the limit anymore since your mother spelled me." - Kol reminded the witch.

Shrugging with her shoulders, Bonnie huffed a bit and said -

"Yeah - it slipped my mind. Ok. But just this once."

"I'll be discreet."

"All right." Bonnie said as she spun around.

Some ten minutes later, the witch and the Original walked out of store with him carrying two bags full of shopping.

Bonnie carried another, one. As they got in the car, she opened the small jar of Nutella, and unwrapped some Oreos. Taking the cookie out, she dipped it in the smooth chocolate goodness, and licked of a bit of it not to drip down her top, before sliding the cookie in her mouth. She took another one, and repeated the action.

"Please don't keep doing this." Kol said with a gulp, trying to keep his eyes on the road, though they kept escaping.

"Do what?"

"Licking the chocolate off the way you do. Can you not just eat the biscuit the way it is?!"

"Oh!" Bonnie now  exclaimed, realizing what she had done-"Ok. Uhm-wasn't intentional. Sorry -"

Kol gulped and inhaled deeply. "Right. Just don't do it again."

"Can I just have one more?" Bonnie said in a teasing way.

"Stop this. I have not been with a woman for over a century, and I will not be responsible for my actions."

"Meaning what exactly?"

Kol now slamned on the breaks again and stopped in the middle of the road. With his hands on the wheel still, he looked in front of him and then at Bonnie, all his emotions rushing inside of him like a storm.  "You are driving me crazy. Ever since the first Ball. And I really don't know what you see in that Lorenzo St. John guy. Saint he is not."

"I don't see anything."- Bonnie said-"Wait a minute. You though me and Enzo?"

"I didn't. I - " Kol suddenly stuttered, which was so not like him.  He swallowed hard and then exhaled.

"I kind of like another not-a-saint-vampire."  Bonnie widened her eyes poignantly at the Original.

"Me?"

"Yes, you dummy."  the witch then said leaning over to Kol, who for the first time in his life was completely gobsmacked, and pressed her nutella lips on his.

In the Gilbert House

Elijah pressed his lips against the rapid beating of Elena's pulse, kissing a path over soft, sweet skin of her neck, inhaling the pungent scent of her honeysuckle perfume.

The heat of his lips raised goose bumps on her skin, feeling enveloped in the hazy daze of the Original vampire.

The hard press of his body on hers as he gently twirled her around on the wall made her belly flutter. Her body trembled and her heart raced, her breathing becoming more and more uneven as his hands now streamed down her arm, landing on her hips, pulling her closer to him.

He needed to stop. But how could he. He wanted to kiss her and hold her, make love to her, for such a long time.

Elijah now dragged his lips from her neck, leaning his forehead on hers.

"I want you - but not like this" - he breathed.
