Two weeks. Bo was leaving in two weeks. And Lauren was currently in the lab looking at slides for her genetics class. She didn't have to do it but she wanted to be on top of her work even if the semester had just started. Lauren sighed and wrote down her findings then moved to the next slide. She was also avoiding Bo. She couldn't be around her when all she wanted to do was to beg her to stay but everything had been finalised. Bo was headed to Italy for nine months. Lauren had gotten home yesterday to find the new luggage Bo had ordered for her trip in the entryway and she walked right back out the door. She knew Bo was giving her space but she also knew that Bo would only hold off for so long. Lauren was trying to find some way to keep it together until after Bo left. Then once she was gone Lauren could lock herself in their room and cry until exhaustion hit her. She felt a tear run down her cheek and she moved away from the microscope so she could wipe her eyes. She was getting used to crying these days. Whenever she had a moment alone with her thoughts she would start crying. Good thing she was alone in the lab. Her phone went off and Lauren took off her gloves then picked it up. She had a text from Bo. Lauren put her phone down then rubbed her temples. She had to stop doing this. Avoiding Bo because she was upset that she was leaving. They had decided together that it was okay for her leave. Bo had done nothing wrong. So why was she punishing Bo for something that she agreed to? Her phone went off again. She picked it up and looked at the two messages. Bo was wondering where she was. Lauren set her phone down again and buried her hands in her hair.

"You see the thing about hiding on campus is that you shouldn't stick with your normal hideouts. Especially if the person who is looking for you knows you as well as I do." Bo said behind her. Lauren heard her heels click on the tiled floor of the lab then when she reached the station Lauren was at she stated, the irritation obvious in her voice, "You're avoiding me. Again."

Lauren started to pack up her notes and told her, "I'm not avoiding you. I had work to do."

Bo chuckled, "The semester just started baby. You shouldn't be killing yourself already." Then she countered, "And you are avoiding me. You've been avoiding me since before the semester started."

She didn't look at Bo but Lauren sighed, "What do you want me to say Bo? You're right? Okay." She looked at Bo, "You're right Bo. Happy?"

Bo let out a frustrated breath and said, "No I'm not." She moved closer towards Lauren and Lauren backed away from her a little. "See this is what I'm talking about. You're acting like I'm already gone when we should be making the most of our time together. Instead you're avoiding me telling me you have work to do when we both know you could put it off for an hour or so, so we can be together. Or something." Lauren saw the vulnerable look in Bo's eyes as she told her, "I just want to hold you in my arms Lauren. And you're letting the fact that you're upset overshadow all the good we could be experiencing right now."

Lauren took a deep breath and admitted, "I cry Bo. I cry a lot. Anytime I think about you leaving I cry." Her vision became blurry from the unshed tears that filled her eyes, "I want to be around you but all I can do is cry and I can't cry while I'm around you because you'll put everything in perspective and I'll feel like an idiot."

Bo threw her hands up in exasperation, "You are an idiot Lauren. You're an idiot because you won't let me comfort you." She then pointed out, "And you're being selfish. Don't you care about how I'm feeling?"

Lauren had been looking down at the tray of slides on the station but then she snapped her head up when Bo had said that. She looked at Bo, "I care about-"

"No you don't Lauren. You've been so wrapped up in what you're feeling that you haven't even noticed that every time I look at you a piece of me breaks on the inside because instead of us finding comfort in each other you're pushing me away which is the last thing that we need to be doing." Bo shouted the tears shimmering in her eyes. "Stop pushing me away Lauren because I need you." Someone came in the lab and Bo ordered, "Leave. Now."

Lauren watched the two guys leave out of the lab then she looked at Bo, "I'm sorry Bo. I-"

"Yes I know. You're sorry. But you know what Lauren? Sorry isn't going to fix it this time because me leaving affects us both but all you care about is you." Bo shook her head and wiped away the tears that were running down her face. "I've got to go. I have a faculty meeting to get to then a departmental meeting." She took a deep breath then sighed, "I'll see you at home. Maybe."

Lauren watched as Bo walked out of the lab. She felt like shit. Bo was right. She had been so self-involved that she hadn't even bothered to take Bo's feelings into account. Bo would be leaving her but Bo wouldn't be surrounded by their environment. She wouldn't have all the personal effects that would remind her of her family or Lauren. It was then realising that Bo would be in a foreign country with none of the things or people that made her happy that Lauren realised how much of an idiot she was. Lauren began to pack up her slides and as she did so she became determined to fix the rift between her and Bo. She wanted to make sure that Bo knew that even though she would be missed everything would still be waiting for her when she came home and more importantly Lauren would still be here waiting for her. After Lauren packed up and cleaned up her mess in the lab she hurried home. She walked through the front door then went in the living room to find Piper and Alex cuddled up on the couch which was unusual considering they were arguing most days. Lauren walked in front of the TV and said, "I need the house for the night."

Alex groaned and remarked, "Move your skinny ass. It's not made of glass."

"What do you need the house for?" Piper asked after she smacked Alex.

Lauren plopped down in the arm chair next to the couch, "I fucked up. I mean I've fucked up royally."

Alex looked over at her and asked, "Oh you don't say?" She chuckled, "I'm not surprised.

Lauren gave Alex a pointed look, "What the hell does that mean?"

"It means…" Piper started as she looked at Alex then she turned to look at Lauren, "It means that we've noticed things between you and Bo have been tense."

Alex looked at Lauren over her glasses, "Plus you two haven't been grossing us out. This is the longest time I've seen you two not being clingy."

Piper nodded her head in agreement, "This is actually the first time that we've even seen you two argue."

Lauren took a deep breath then sighed, "I've been an idiot and I hurt Bo." She shook her head as she said, "I've been avoiding her because every time I think about her leaving I begin to cry. I hurt on some astronomical level that I have never felt before."

"It's only nine months Lauren." Piper pointed out.

Lauren gave her an incredulous look before she scoffed, "You don't understand and I'm not going to try to make you understand, but nine months is a lot for us." She sighed. There was no way for her to explain how she was feeling to anyone that wasn't her or Bo. "Can we have the house tonight?"

Piper gave her a sincere look and asked, "Are you going to make everything right between you and Bo?" Lauren gave her a questioning look, "You have a history of throwing in the towel during the hard parts of a relationship."

Lauren knew exactly what she was talking about but Bo wasn't like any other woman she had dated. Bo was something different and she couldn't be without her. She smiled and told Piper, "I'm going to do everything I can to make everything better between us."

Piper smiled at her and remarked, "I'm proud of you Lauren and you can have the house tonight. I'm certain we can disappear for the night."

Lauren smiled at them, "Thank you."

Bo walked into the house and the first thing she noticed was the silence. Ever since Piper and Alex moved in they were either arguing or horsing around and it made for a noisy living environment. She took off her heels and tossed them on the shoe pile by the door. Her day had been long and tedious and she had been unfocused. And she had been unfocused because of Lauren. Bo was concerned about where their relationship was headed and if they were going to survive being apart for nine months. When the calendar hit the two week mark Lauren began to pull away from her, and Bo had noticed it as soon as Lauren began to avoid her. Lauren would come up with ridiculous reasons to not be around her and they had stopped hanging out with each other because Lauren would find something else to do or tell Bo that she didn't have time for her. Then Lauren stopped having sex with her which wasn't a big deal, but for them to not have sex for three days only added to Bo's fear that Lauren was going to break up with her. And through all this Bo had remained patient with Lauren so she could take the proper time needed to process through her feelings. But in order to do that she had to place her own feelings aside and Bo was hurting. She was in excruciating pain that couldn't be fixed because the one person who could fix it wasn't giving her the time of day.

Bo walked into the living room and saw two glasses of wine sitting on the coffee table. She had originally planned not to come home tonight in response to the treatment that Lauren had been giving her lately and because of their discussion earlier. But Lauren had sent her a text that begged her to come home and she had also promised that they were going to fix everything. Bo sat down on the couch and picked up a glass of wine. After taking a long drink from it she sighed then looked around and wondered where Lauren was. It was a few minutes later when she heard Lauren muttering to herself as she walked down the stairs. The blonde walked into the living room and Bo heard her say, "I swear to fucking god if this night doesn't go well I'm going to..." Bo got a small smile on her face because she found Lauren's rambling adorable. Lauren eventually noticed her sitting on the couch and said, "Hey. I didn't hear you come in."

Bo propped her feet up on the coffee table then told her, "I'm not surprised."

Lauren got an irritated look on her face, "Apparently you're not the only one today."

Bo let out a chuckle. She wasn't going to argue with Lauren. She didn't come home for that and if that's all Lauren wanted to do then she would lock herself in her office with the music turned up. "Baby I'm not certain what that means, but if you want to argue I'm going to let you know that you are barking up the wrong tree." Lauren sighed and Bo closed her eyes as she tried not to give into her automatic response of making sure that Lauren was okay. But she did. "Come here Lauren." She felt Lauren sit next to her and Bo looked at her. "I cry too Lauren. But I cry for another reason though." Bo paused when she saw the guilty look come across Lauren's face, "I cry because my girlfriend is too self-absorbed to realise that I'm hurting too. I cry because I'm leaving the very person who has given my life meaning and it's ripping me up inside." Bo sighed and let her head fall back against the couch. "I cry because I love you so damn much that it hurts and I'm contemplating on backing out of this contract and blowing off the teaching job." Bo took a drink from her wine glass, "So you're not the only one who cries Lauren."

Bo brought her head forward and she stared at the blank TV in front of the couch. She had said what she wanted to say. Now it was up to Lauren to make things right between them because Bo had tried to and Lauren only pushed her away. She felt Lauren take her hand and say, "I know sorry doesn't fix the damage I've already caused Bo, but I am." Bo looked down at their joined hands and her heart filled with love for the woman sitting next to her. "I didn't know how to deal with my feelings of you leaving soon and you were right. I'm already missing you like you're gone but you're not." She gave Bo's hand a gentle squeeze, "You're right here with me and I'm screwing up whatever time we have left together and I want to correct that." Lauren took a gentle hold of her chin and moved Bo's head so that she was looking at her, "We need to make memories Bo because that's all you'll have to take with you. And we need to make lots of memories together so that way you have good things to think about when you're missing home. I also have some other things planned so that way you'll have something to take with you to Italy. "

Bo had tears in her eyes as she smiled, "I would love to make memories with you."

Lauren leaned in and kissed her then whispered, "And Bo…"

"Yeah?" Bo whispered back

"No more crying." Lauren pressed her lips to Bo's and as they began to kiss Bo felt as though she was coming back home to the one place that she could be vulnerable and nothing bad would happen to her. Lauren kissed her one more time before she pulled away. She got up then held out her hand for Bo to take, "Come on. I made dinner and after dinner I've got a little surprise for you."

Bo took her hand and got up with a smile on her face then she pulled Lauren close to her so she could capture Lauren's lips for a passionate kiss. She wanted more of Lauren and yearned to feel every inch of her now that they had cleared up everything between them. Even though they had just made up she was still surprised by how much she wanted Lauren. Bo thought they would have gotten pass this phase in their relationship but here they were at five months of dating and she still craved for the woman in her arms. Lauren melted into the kiss and Bo moved her hands from Lauren's waist to her ass. She felt Lauren smile into the kiss before she moved Bo's hands then pulled back smirking, "That's later." She kissed her one more time then grinned, "Now let's go eat."

Bo noticed the alluring mischievous look on Lauren's face and remarked, "Oh you are sexy when you're plotting." She then had a thought that popped into her head, "Are you indulging me tonight?"

Lauren gave her a mock look of irritation and told her, "Bo Dennis if we do not have dinner I will not be giving you any of your surprises." And as she headed out the living room she asked, "Also have I indulged you since you've given me the lingerie?"

Bo couldn't hold back the pout, "No." She didn't have a lingerie fetish but she did find Lauren damn attractive in sexy underwear. It all started when she and Lauren began to have sex. That day in the classroom when Bo pulled off her pants and found her wearing a sexy blue thong she thought she was going to have a heart attack. Bo smirked to herself when she thought about the panties. She would be taking those to Italy with her as a memento of how sexy her girlfriend really was.

They headed into the kitchen and Lauren told Bo, "Go sit at the table. " Bo followed Lauren over to the stove and wrapped her arms around her waist then nuzzled her neck which caused her to let out small giggle, "Bo stop and go sit down."

Bo kissed the soft skin of her neck then smiled as she enjoyed the feeling of having her lips on Lauren's skin. She had missed it the last few days and now that they were back in a good place she wanted to explore every inch of Lauren's body. She placed a series of kisses up Lauren's neck then murmured, "How can you expect me to keep my hands off of you?" The nimble fingers of her right hand began to unbutton the last few buttons on Lauren's shirt. As she undid the shirt she sucked on the blonde's earlobe then whispered against her ear, "I've missed you so much these last few days. There were parts of me that I never knew existed that longed for you." She parted the fabric of Lauren's shirt and as her fingers glided across the smooth skin of her stomach Bo could feel the muscles underneath it quiver at her touch. She kissed the spot beneath Lauren's ear then continued to whisper "I need you so much baby. Please..."

Lauren reached back and buried her hand in Bo's hair before she turned her head to meet Bo's lips. Bo held Lauren tightly against her as their passion engulfed them like a fast moving fire. She broke the kiss then turned Lauren around in her arms before capturing her lips again to continue the searing kiss. She guided Lauren back until the counter next to the stove prevented them from moving further. Lauren pulled away from Bo and moaned, "Bo...sweetie..."

Bo started to kiss and nip at Lauren's neck and she was so lost in her desire to feel Lauren that she didn't hear her. Lauren took hold of her head and Bo looked into the eyes that held nothing but desire and love for her. Her heart began to beat faster. Lauren's effect on her had on her always amazed her. She licked her lips then smirked, "What's up?"

Lauren placed a gentle kiss on her lips then murmured against them, "I need to turn the stove off. Unless you want to burn the house down."

Bo grinned and began to undo the clasp on Lauren's pants, "Well if you're interested in burning down the house then I think the two of us can take care of that." Lauren gave her a playful stern look and Bo grinned at her before she gave her one more kiss then moved away, "You're so irresistible. Okay do what you need to do."

Lauren reached over to turn off the two burners that were on and once they were off Bo took her face in her hands then seized Lauren's lips for a kiss that she knew would take the blonde's breath away. For a fraction of a second Lauren didn't respond to the kiss but then she wrapped her arms around Bo and began to kiss back meeting Bo's enthusiasm with her own. Bo glided her hands down to the back of Lauren's neck. Not having been this close to Lauren in the last few days made her needy and as soon as she touched Lauren her mind had one train of thought which was to get the blonde undressed. Bo moved away from Lauren and smirked at her when she saw the look a pure lust and need in her eyes. This was the look that drove her to the brink of insanity whenever they were together and fuelled her into a frenzied state.

Bo pulled Lauren's shirt off and dropped it to the kitchen floor. She bit her bottom lip when she saw that Lauren was wearing the black satin bra that she liked to wear when she wanted to give Bo a heart attack. Which meant she was also wearing a matching set of panties that Bo couldn't wait to see Lauren's ass in. Bo kissed the side of her of neck and whispered, "You were planning on seducing me tonight."

Lauren let out a small chuckle, "You don't need seducing." Bo kissed her way down the centre of Lauren's chest and when she reached the curve of her right breast she nipped at the skin before giving it a gentle suck. Lauren let out a soft moan as she ran her fingers through Bo's hair then held her head in place as she remarked, "See you don't need seducing."

Bo moved back a little then grinned at her and commented, "You're right I don't. All it takes is one look from you and I'm all yours." She undid Lauren's bra then as soon as the last hook was undone she pulled it down revealing Lauren's soft yet tantalising breasts and Bo didn't hesitate to bend down to take the hardening nipple into her mouth. Lauren gave her hair a slight tug as she groaned. Bo gave Lauren's breasts careful attention being sure to worship every part of them. She tugged on Lauren's nipple with her teeth causing the blonde to moan which was music to Bo's ears so she did it again so she could hear Lauren moan again. She couldn't hold back anymore. Bo had to taste her. Bo kissed her way down from Lauren's breast and as she kissed down her taut abdomen she nipped at the skin. Bo got to Lauren's hip bone and she proceeded to give the skin over it a gentle bite. It was one of the sexiest parts on Lauren and Bo couldn't help but to give it some attention. She unzipped the zipper that was on Lauren's pants before tugging them down to reveal the black cotton panties that Lauren's ass looked magnificent in. Bo looked up at Lauren who looked down at her and Bo could tell the woman was silently begging for her to continue. Lauren needed this as much as she did and she wouldn't deny them any longer what they both desired. She pulled the panties down slowly but once she was looking at Lauren's aroused flesh she couldn't hold back the need to have her tongue buried deep inside of her. Bo was momentarily transfixed by the sight before her but she was brought out of it when Lauren whispered, "Bo please."

Bo looked up at Lauren and gave her slight nod. She extended her tongue out then stroked the sensitive outer lips with the tip of her tongue causing Lauren to shudder at the contact. Bo let out a low moan as the taste of Lauren's skin and wetness covered her tongue. She had numerous lovers before but none of them could hold a candle to Lauren. Lauren made Bo feel things that she never knew she wanted. And sometimes it scared her at other times it exhilarated her, but the one thing Bo knew in her very core was that she wanted Lauren. Bo tasted every part of Lauren making sure nothing went untouched and while Bo's mouth and tongue explored the most intimate part of her, Lauren dug her fingers into her scalp which only caused Bo to be more enthusiastic in her actions. Bo flicked her tongue several times over Lauren's hard clit before she glided two of her fingers into the woman. Feeling Lauren wrapped around her fingers added to Bo's arousal and she knew she was as close to coming as Lauren was. Bo gave Lauren's clit a final suck before she stood up while her fingers remained deep inside of her. Bo kissed Lauren then whispered against her ear, "I need you so much…" She took Lauren's earlobe between her teeth then gave it a gentle tug before begging, "Touch me Lauren. I need you to touch me."

Bo looked Lauren in her eyes and Lauren didn't hesitate to give her what she wanted. Bo had never begged with a lover before but whenever she was with Lauren she found herself begging because she longed to feel her hands on her. Lauren fumbled with the fabric of Bo's skirt as she pulled it up. Bo wasn't wearing underwear as usual so as soon as Lauren touched her Bo dropped her head to Lauren's shoulder and let out a soft moan. Lauren's quick fingers slid into her and Bo couldn't contain the cry that escaped her. It felt so good to have Lauren inside of her that Bo revelled in the feeling for a moment before she began to slowly fuck the blonde. Lauren moaned then she started to move the fingers that she had inside of Bo. Bo could barely concentrate on what she was doing to Lauren but she kept going even as her impending orgasm grew. "Bo…" Lauren breathed against her ear, "Look at me."

Bo bit her bottom lip then looked into Lauren's eyes. She saw the love in her eyes and Bo's heart clenched at the unguarded emotion in them. It was in that moment that she realised that she had so much love for the woman that it overwhelmed her. It wasn't long before the both of them started to come and Bo was the first one to come. As they were coming down from their orgasms Bo felt so close to Lauren in that moment and for once she wanted to bask in silence with her. Their moments of basking were numbered and this one was an important one. Make-up sex after an argument basking. Lauren kissed the side of her neck and Bo smirked as she said, "Now can we have dinner?"

Bo chuckled then kissed the side of her head before telling her, "We were basking."

Lauren let out a soft laugh, "We bask in bed. When we have sex against one of the counters in the kitchen there isn't room for basking."

"Ah that's because we have two other people that live with us." Bo said as she moved away from Lauren.

Lauren pulled up her pants and said, "No it's not because of that. Piper and Alex won't be home tonight or if they do come home it won't be until much later."

Bo fixed her skirt then pulled out one of the barstools by the island, "Did you pay Piper and Alex to give us the house for the evening?"

Lauren laughed then gave Bo a sexy smirk, "I didn't pay them." Then she said, "They realised that we were having issues so they're giving us the night by ourselves."

Bo watched Lauren move around the kitchen. She could count on one hand how many times Lauren had cooked since they moved in together, but between her schoolwork and class Lauren rarely cooked so Bo was in charge of making sure that she was well fed. But every now then Lauren would have some free time and she would cook Bo a fantastic meal. Lauren was a natural chef. She didn't use recipes to make meals. All she would do is get a bunch of ingredients together then make an amazing meal. First time Lauren had cooked for her Bo had made all sorts of jokes about Lauren's food killing her off but then once she had tasted it she blown away by the meal. Bo smiled as she thought about how much she would miss seeing Lauren move around the kitchen. She took a deep breath as wave off melancholy came over her. Bo wasn't going to let her thoughts distract her from their night or the rest of their time together. Bo smiled and said, "We were having issues but I think we've overcome them."

Lauren turned around and looked at her then she did a little head tilt that made her look so beautiful that it made Bo stomach flutter. "Have we gotten over our issues Bo?"

Bo recognised the tone and look on Lauren's face. It wasn't one that meant that she was about to argue with Bo but it did mean that she was going to be persistent about the topic. And it was one that that they had covered numerous times already and there was no need for them to discuss it further. Bo got up then walked over to Lauren. She gave her a quick kiss then took hold of her face and looked Lauren in her eyes, "No we haven't. But there's nothing we can do about it. I've signed the paperwork. My housing has been secured and they're close to paying me. Italy is concrete baby." She took a moment to look Lauren in her eyes before continuing, "And neither of us wants me to leave. I for damn sure don't want to leave. You're going to Boston and starting med school and I'm going to miss your first day. I'm going to miss seeing the excitement in your eyes when you tell me about the tour of Mass Gen. I'm going to miss the excitement of you talking about your classes. I'm going to miss a lot. And I know we'll video call each other but it isn't going to be the same as in person." Bo took a deep breath then sighed, "So let's eat dinner. Let's drink wine then make love on the living room floor because we can do that right now because Piper and Alex aren't home." Bo finished with a smiled on her face. Lauren returned the smiled with a small one of her own before she gave Bo a kiss. Bo smiled and told her, "I'm going to go change."

Lauren nodded then as Bo was walking away she grabbed her arm and Bo looked at her. There was a moment of silence as they look at her each other then Lauren said in a quiet voice, "I love you Bo."

Bo got closer to her then placed a soft kiss on her lips before saying, "I love you too sweetheart."

Bo held her for a minute or two then Lauren moved away from her and smiled, "Go change so I can get dinner on the table."

Bo chuckled then walked out of the kitchen. She felt better knowing that she and Lauren were back on good terms. She had missed her girlfriend so much these last few days but now that they were going to be happy and make the most of the time that they had together she wasn't going to dwell on the bad. Instead she was going to show Lauren how much she loved her and she hoped that would include having sex in front of the fireplace in the living room.

Lauren looked at Bo over the rim of her wineglass as she took a sip. Bo was currently sitting back in her chair with a content look on her face. She had really enjoyed dinner and Lauren was glad that she did. Lauren had to admit that she did enjoy cooking for Bo. When she and Piper had first gotten an apartment together the only time she would cook was when she needed relieve her stress and she would still do it from time to time. But now when she cooked for Bo it was to show her how much she loved her.

Bo picked up her wineglass and took a drink from it before saying, "As you know today was my last day working for the university." She took a deep breath and Lauren knew she was upset by the fact that she was leaving. Lauren took her hand and Bo continued, "I handed off my research projects that were funded by them and it really sucked." Lauren bit the corner of her lip because she felt a little guilty. It was her fault that Bo was handing over her research and it was her fault that when Bo came home from Italy she wouldn't be coming back here. She would be going to Boston. And the work wasn't what upset Bo because she had several other ongoing projects that weren't funded by the university but she had a little family here and Lauren knew that Bo would miss the people that she had worked closely with a lot. Bo smiled at her, "And even though it sucked I'm not regretting my decision to follow you wherever you go." And just like that Bo had eased her guilt, "I'm only saying this because the research team is throwing me a farewell party. It's going to be at that one restaurant that everyone likes."

Lauren got up and got both of their plates asking, "And when is that going to happen?"

"Tomorrow night. Are you busy because if you are we can-"

Lauren put their plates in the sink and scoffed, "Don't be ridiculous Bo we can't cancel and I'm not busy." She looked at Bo over her shoulder, "Especially now that I'm not actively avoiding you anymore."

Bo chuckled and remarked, "I'm thankful for that and still little upset by it, but I get why you did it." Bo got up and walked over to her. "Tomorrow at seven thirty. Wear your burlap sack because I refuse to have you upstaging everyone else. Although I'm certain you'll still look irresistible in that."

Lauren rolled her eyes and chuckled, "You'll have to pick it up from the cleaners for me."

"Or we could buy you a new one." Bo suggested as she placed a kiss on Lauren's cheek. Bo brushed a wayward strand of hair behind her ear then asked, "What else is on tonight's schedule?"

Lauren began to rinse off their dinner dishes and put them in the dishwasher. She had several things planned for the evening but a majority of it involved them being in bed. Lauren chuckled and said, "First we are going to clean the kitchen then I have something planned that requires us to behave ourselves in public."

Bo chuckled then gave her a teasing pout, "But I don't want to behave. We have had three days of behaving. I want to misbehave." Bo moved behind her then brushed Lauren's hair to the side before she placed a soft kiss on her neck, which sent a chill through Lauren, then murmured, "I want to misbehave over..." Bo kissed further up Lauren's neck as she placed her hands on her hips, "...and over..." Lauren then felt a gentle bite to the crook of her neck then Bo whispered against her ear, "Again."

Lauren was biting her bottom lip hard. She wanted to give into Bo's advances and engage in an encore performance of their earlier kitchen activities, but they were on a schedule. Lauren had trouble finding her words as Bo's agile fingers started to work on the buttons of her shirt. The cotton material brushed lightly against her skin and made her tense up in anticipation. Lauren took a deep breath then cleared her throat, "Bo...sweetie...we can't."

Bo's let out a low chuckle, "And why can't we? We did earlier."

Lauren closed her eyes then inhaled through her nose as Bo's fingertips came in contact with her warm skin. She clenched her jaw as she tried not to give into the fact that she needed Bo's hands on her again or the fact that she had missed Bo for the last three days and all she wanted to do was make love to her all night long. Bo's hand reached waist of her pants and Lauren grabbed her wrist as she told her, "We are on a schedule and I don't trust myself to stop you if you go any further than you are."

Bo laughed then kissed her temple before saying, "Okay then. Let's clean."

They cleaned the kitchen then once they were done Lauren looked at Bo and smiled, "I need you to change into something that is not sweatpants and a tank top." Lauren tilted her head then said, "Nothing to fancy but you should dress nice."

Bo got a suspicious look on her face and asked, "And where are we going Lauren?"

Lauren grinned at her and said, "Out." Bo was still giving her an uneasy look and Lauren rolled her eyes then smiled, "Don't ruin this for me Bo. I don't get to surprise you often plus I'm apologising for the last few days."

Bo shook her head then she gave Lauren a quick kiss before saying, "Okay I will let you have your fun and make amends for the last few days."

Lauren gave Bo a gracious smile, "Thank you. Now can you please go get ready?"

Bo gave her one more kiss then jogged out of the kitchen. Lauren leaned back against the island as she watched her retreating form. She was going to miss Bo so much. She brought Lauren so much happiness. And no matter how much she tried to mentally prepare herself for their impending separation it didn't lessen the ache that was growing inside of her. But, as she had told Bo earlier, there was going to be no more crying and they were only going to make memories. Their first ones would be a concert followed by an evening stroll by the lake. Lauren took a deep breath then walked over to the stairs yelling up them, "Bring a sweater. It's supposed to get chilly later."

"Why do I need a sweater Lauren if we're going to be inside?" Bo asked her and Lauren smiled because she could tell Bo was joking with her.

"Bo…."

She heard Bo laugh and that was it she couldn't stand be away from her anymore. Avoiding Bo for the last few days had been horrible for her and she never wanted to do it again. Now that things were better between them she wanted to be around Bo all the time. Lauren headed up the stairs then walked down the hall to their room. She didn't enter the room instead she leaned on the doorframe and watched as Bo put on a pair of black jeans. The jeans were tight and Lauren openly admired the way the denim fabric hugged Bo's ass. Lauren was biting her lip and she was in a captivating fantasy that starred Bo's ass when Bo said, "Baby you keep staring at my ass like that and you're going to burn a hole in these jeans."

Lauren began to blush profusely. It was one thing to admire her girlfriend's ass but it was another thing to blatantly ogle it. Lauren let out a soft chuckle, "Sorry I um…"

Lauren trailed off as Bo strode over to her. She noticed the enticing way Bo moved her hips and Lauren knew exactly what she was doing. When she was close enough Bo took hold of her hips and pulled Lauren in close. Then she placed a soft kiss on her lips before she told her in a quiet voice, "Stare all you want. I like it when you look at me like that. It turns me on and makes me want your hands all over me."

Lauren swallowed hard as she tried to hold onto her control. She whispered, "I know what you're doing Bo."

Bo let out a low sexy chuckle that made Lauren's pulse quicken, "Of course you do. But…" She moved away from Lauren then headed for their closet, "I was told I have to behave."

Lauren was close to wanting to blow off their plans so they could make love all night. She began to rationalise that it was the best way for them to get over their disagreement as well as being a great way for them make memories together. Lauren shook her head so she could shake the sex driven thoughts from her mind. They were going to make their plans come hell or high water. Bo eventually finished getting dressed and once she was they headed out for the evening. Both showing great restraint as they got into Bo's car.
