Brooklyn stayed in the house as she was instructed and she walked around the house before settling into a chair in the parlor with a glass of bourbon in her hand. She wondered what Damon was up to and thought about how he was still seeing Caroline and how bad she wanted him to end things with Caroline and be with her. She was in too deep, she was falling in love with him. She needed a pallet cleanser and fast. She went through her contacts, who was she willing to lose her virginity to? No one in her contacts even tempted her once, nothing compared to the way Damon tempted her. Maybe she could make Damon want to finally drop the dead weight that is Caroline Forbes by seducing him. She felt like she was ready to lose her virginity, but she still wasn't sure. She waited this long, why couldn't she wait any longer. She was feeling impatient today, so she decided to do something about it. She went to her room, she changed into some dance clothes and started to create a new routine to put in her repertoire
She let the music play to Feeling Myself by Nicki Minaj and Beyonce and used a large floor length mirror to create her dance moves. She groaned afterwards, frustration coming over her because she had nothing more to distract herself with. She had spent three hours making the routine and perfecting it. She loved to share it with a few fellow high school that she danced with, but was unsure if they'd think it was too sexy. But it was worth risk, she liked taking risks.
Brooklyn grabbed a clean towel and closed the bathroom door, locking it behind her. She turned on so much on the radio that she placed in there the first time she showered and started the water. While letting it warm up, she undressed herself and got into the warm water. She ran her fingers through her long hair and did what she needed to do.
When she was done she decided she might as well go to the career fair they were having at school, even though she didn't go to school that day.
"Wow, look who is here." Mr. Saltzman said coming over to the girl the moment she walked into the door.
"Oh yeah." she coughed sarcastically, "I was totally sick this morning."
"I can tell. Need to talk?"
"If I told you that my not-a-father kicked me out of my house would you care?"
"Surprisingly? Yes. Come on kid." Brooklyn wasn't going to go, in fact she was going to walk away until she saw Bonnie was heading her way. So she grabbed Mr. Saltzman and dragged him into his room and pushed him inside.
"Sorry. Avoiding my sister."
"No issues. So what happened?"
"I'm a dancer. I was at the studio I dance for until after midnight, which was after curfew. I got an attitude told Rudy because he wasn't my father he couldn't tell me what to do. He kicked me out. I'm staying at a friends house. End of story."
"Then why weren't you at school."
"It was a long freaking night to be honest."
"I'll let it slide, because your grades in all your classes are outstanding."
"I'm planning on graduating early, to get out of this damn town."
"Doesn't sound like a bad idea. Go explore, I don't think there is a dance school out there. But who knows what you'll find."
"A pallet cleanser, hopefully." she mumbled under her breath going out of the room. She peaked and saw Jeremy, "Jer!"
"Brooklyn Bennett, as I live and breath. I've missed you!"
"You too." the two friends hugged and began to walk around. They stopped when they saw Tyler standing at an art table.
"What do you want?" Tyler asked to Jeremy, "hey, Brooklyn." the brunette gave him a small wave.
"Hey. Uh. Just surprised to see you here." the two walk closer to the table, "art usually implies culture, and culture implies well, not you."
"And you just turned into an asshole, Gilbert." Brooklyn said, "let's see if there is a dance school in this place." she couldn't find a damn thing at this career fair that interested her. So decided that she might as well do something with her life. When she found Tyler outside she smiled and sat next to him, "hey, Tyler." she admitted only to herself of course that underneath the moonlight how gorgeous Tyler Lockwood was, he had muscles, nice hair, a brain beneath all the testosterone.
"No dance?"
"No dance. Guess I'll skip school and become a stripper."
"No, you're far too classy for that."
"You don't know me very well then. I can twerk with the best of them."
"Your butt is too small."
"So you've been checking out my butt?"
"Guilty?"
"Cute."
"So any chance of another date? Or are you still only interested in making that guy Damon jealous?"
"I'm getting annoyed at his inability to break up with Caroline." Brooklyn told him honestly.
"Aren't girls not supposed to date other friends boyfriends?"
"I'd be breaking girl code, correct. But he's fucking with her emotions and she's too dumb to see it. Caroline deserves someone better."
"And what if he is doing the same thing to you?"
"I'm a bitch. I probably would deserve it." Brooklyn shrugged.
"Why do you think so low of yourself?"
"You'd be surprised by the things I've done."
"Well, add something good to the list. Go on one date with me. Where there isn't a possibility that we'll run into Damon and you can't make him jealous."
"Tyl-" Tyler cut her off by kissing her and biting down on her bottom lip. She admitted Tyler was an amazing kisser and would be one hell of a pallet cleanser, but she didn't want to use Tyler like that. So she broke the kiss, "I can't use you. Anyone but you and Jeremy I'd be okay with. I like you two too much. It'd ruin our dynamic."
"Maybe you're right. But God damn can you kiss."
"Well you aren't terrible either. I should probably get back to the Salvatore's anyways."
"You aren't going home."
"Nah, man. Look story for another day. I'll talk to you soon." Brooklyn began to walk when she saw Alaric looking sneaky, "hey vampire hunter. Where are you headed?"
"Wh- what are you talking about?"
"Oh you don't have to hide. I won't tell you secret. As long as I can come with you."
"It could be dangerous."
"I'm a witch." Brooklyn said seriously.
"Seriously?"
"Yes."
"Fine. Come on, kid." Brooklyn smiled and got into Alaric's car, "so, Mr. Saltzman, what got you into vampire hunting?"
"Long story."
"We've got time."
"A vampire killed my wife."
"I'm very sorry to hear that. Vampires are quite terrible creatures."
"Is that why you're living with two?"
"You see. The Salvatore's have wormed their way into my heart." Brooklyn said. She felt her phone vibrate and saw a text from Damon asking why she wasn't home, "oh, I've got to go."
"What? I'm driving."
"You see. I'm a witch, remember?" Brooklyn smiled before apparating out of the car and into the bedroom of Damon Salvatore, "were you shot?!" Brooklyn questioned going over to the male.
"Yes, I was! Where were you?!"
"Career fair! Jeez!" Brooklyn dug out the bullet with her nail and looked up at Damon, "who did this?"
"Logan Fell. He's a vampire."
"Creepy news guy?"
"Yeah, that's him."
"Gross. Well I hope you kill him."
"I plan on it."
"Good." Damon pushed Brooklyn into the closest wall.
"Who were you with at this career fair?"
"Well, I saw Jeremy and the new teacher Mr. Saltzman..."
"Who else?"
"Tyler? Jeez what is this, twenty questions?"
"Did you kiss Tyler?"
"Maybe? Why would it matter?"
"Because you're mine."
"That's where you're wrong. Because you can't have both Caroline and myself. I've told you this."
"I just need to annoy Stefan and Elena a little bit longer."
"Well, honestly. I think you just like having me on this string. You like thinking I'm your fucking puppet. Well, I'm not. I'm a human. With real human emotions. Unlike you vampires, I can't turn off my humanity and lose my emotions so please. When you're ready to get serious with me let me know. Until then, I'm off limits."
