As of 8/2017...This story is SLOWLY being edited for typos, spacing etc.
A/N: ENJOY, HOPE THIS DOESN'T SUCK, NEVER WRITTEN BEFORE.
The clock read 6am…Ugh I haven't been able to sleep lately. I decided to get up for my morning run and start my day early. I pull on my blue faded Yale sweats, plug in my earphones and start my playlist as I lock my door and start my run to the nearest Starbucks which is about 10 blocks away. The things I do for a cup of coffee, especially in the winter.
Halfway to my destination my phone rings. I answer it and hear groaning. "Kenzi?" I asked, she's usually not up least till noon.
"Lolooo…booze bad very very bad." I chuckled, "I'd tell you not to drink so much but you never listen."
I can practically see her rolling her eyes at me. "Lolo, come make me some of your amaaaazing pancakes pleaseee" I want to be annoyed but, she is my best friend. "Alright, I'll be over soon." I sighed, I hope she has coffee.
I caught a taxi to her place aka the clubhouse as she calls it. A rundown no walls barely standing apartment but, it has its charm. I used my key to get in and nearly get mauled into a hug by Kenzi, she must be really hungry.
She's still wearing her all black attire from last night. I tell her I'm going to shower real quick and for her to make sure we have ingredients for breakfast, she swears she does considering its leftover ingredients from the last time I cooked which wasn't long ago. Kenzi doesn't cook, last time she tried she almost burnt the place down trying to make toast.
I feel refreshed after my quick after. I grabbed my robe that I keep here along with some other stuff since I spend a lot of time here. The upstairs bedroom has kinda became mine since she lives alone.
I go downstairs hoping to get some coffee and whip up breakfast. Kenzi takes a seat in front of me watching me work "Sooo what's up…seeing anyone yet?"
I roll my eyes, she worries I'll die alone since I haven't dated since Nadia and Crystal. What a mess they were. "No Kenz…I'm not interested in dating, you know that."
She looks right at me. "Look, I know those crazy bitches didn't work out but it's been three years, it's time to try again" I'm about to answer back when there's a knock at the door.
Kenzi jumps up, "Shit, I forgot my new roommate is coming today." She runs to the door. "Hey Bo, come on in" I hear…hmm…male roommate? I wonder how Kenzi found a male roommate that she actually wants to live with…I guess miracles can happen.
They came into the kitchen as I set up plates for the pancakes and eggs with coffee. I finish setting breakfast up for everyone including the surprise roommate. Luckily, I make a lot knowing Kenzi.
I turn, about to introduce myself when time stops. My eyes land on the most beautiful brunette I've ever seen in my life. Deep dark brown eyes looking back at me with a smile that could light up the whole city. She's wearing a tight royal blue top and tight black leather pants.
When our hands met, we both feel a jolt run through us. "Hi, I'm Bo" she says. Before I even know what I'm doing, I blurt out, "My god, you're beautiful…"
I'm immediately shocked at my own confession, immediately trying to apologize. But, she stops me mid-apology "it's ok, I was thinking the same about you but, I was thinking gorgeous. I'm sorry, I'm usually not this… bold. There's just something about you."
We both blush and noticed that our hands haven't parted. Kenzi clears her throat, reminding us we aren't alone. The three of us officially meet and the way Bo said my name sent a shiver down my spine.
We enjoy breakfast, we get to know Bo and she gets to know us. Apparently she's a Private Investigator that Kenzi ran into while Bo was on a case. They quickly hit it off as friends so Kenzi offered her a place to stay since Bo apparently moved out of her ex's place weeks ago.
She's been living in her car ever since. She's single, I feel my heart skip a beat. "Lo..Lo ..Laurennn."
I see Kenzi's hand waving in front of my face while Bo looks at me concerned. "I'm sorry, what?" I ask while I was coming out of my daydream filled with Bo and her smile...her dimples, dark brown eyes, perfect breast-
"LOLO!" I jumped, I zoned out again that quickly? "Lauren, are you alright?" Bo asked with eyes that seem to look into my very soul.
"I'm fine, what were you guys saying?" I squeezed Bo's hand gently without thinking, making her blush. "We were saying thank you for this breakfast it was killerrrr and if ya would clear out your stuff out of Bo's new room."
I start to get up from my seat "Of course, I'm sorry, I'll get my stuff outta the way." Kenzi looks at me with a smile. Great...she knows I like Bo, just great...
"Ya can put your stuff in my room." I nodded, "Thanks" Kenzi waves it off "I can't lose my personal doctor/chief!" I laughed at Kenzi.
"You're a doctor? That's amazing." Bo looks at me with a half-smile and a mixture of admiration and lust…? "It's nothing, really" I say with a smile.
My phone goes off with an alert. "It's the ER, I gotta go." I say, already on my way to change into some scrubs and head out the door.
Kenzi offers to move my clothes and my other stuff to her room. I thank her while I'm already out the door just when I remembered that I didn't drive here "Shit!" I muttered to myself.
"Do you need a ride?" I turn around hearing Bo's silky voice. "Yes, thank you" I follow her to a beautiful yellow Camaro. I tell her which hospital to go to and we're on our way.
"So, how long have you been a PI? I asked, she shrugged in response. "About a year now, kinda just stumbled onto it since my ex is a detective, bringing cases to my attention just by talking about them, one thing lead to another and I'm a freelance PI. Kenzi pretty much appointed herself my manager when she found out what I did as well as my new sidekick. Now, I see why she doesn't mind risks, best friend being a doctor, she thinks she's invincible."
She laughs, she has a beautiful laugh…Beautiful everything really.
"So your turn Doctor…how long?" The way she said Doctor made me feel aroused. I haven't really felt aroused in years.
"A few years now, I love helping people." She looks over at me with that bright smile. "Guess we have more than just Kenzi in common huh?" I smiled at her with a simple reply. "Guess so"
I wonder what else we have in common. We talk about movies, food, shared random stories. By the time we arrive at the hospital we both seem to sigh in disappointment.
I reach the handle to open the door and start my day. When suddenly, I feel a warm hand on mine stopping me from getting out of the car completely. I look back at Bo.
She gives me that deep soulful stare. "Lauren…wo...would you like to go out…with me sometime?" I'm stunned, "…Are you asking me out on a date?"
She hesitates for a moment before answering. "Yes, it's too much, isn't it? I'm sorry I jus–" I impulsively cut her off with kiss her without thinking.
When we broke the kiss that she so eagerly returned after the initial shock, our lips are almost still touching as I whisper, "I'd love to go on a date with you."
With that said, I exit the car leaving a grinning Bo while I head further and further away from her. My fingers are touching my lips feeling the tingle left by that kiss.
I head towards reception as I spoke to the receptionist. "What's the emergency?"
"I am" I turn to the voice I haven't heard in months. "Dyson, what a surprise." I say as we hug briefly.
"I'm sorry to have to call you in according to your receptionist, But, I could really use your help." He hands me a case file.
I glance at it as I spoke. "No problem, I'll get on it as soon as possible. How have you been? I haven't heard from you since you got serious with someone I have yet to meet."
He looks like a sad puppy dog. "Yeah, I'm sorry I got caught up. I thought she was the one, ya know? We even worked and lived together but she ended it and moved out."
Why does this sound too coincidental? "I'm sorry, was she in law enforcement too?" I asked to which he just slightly smiled.
"Not really, she is PI." Oh crap, what are the odds? I calmly asked my next question as casually as possible.
"Oh, what's her name? I've probably worked with her before." He looks me in the eyes before answering, "Her name is Bo"
Oh crap, just my luck.
