Chapter 2

Bo just stayed there for a few minutes, till she heard the blonde coughed. The valkyrie turned her head around with her eyes closed on the couch, as if she was haunted by a nightmare. She let out a few agonizing moans. Then she opened her eyes.

" Oh no, no tears... I fucking hate tears." Tamsin cleared her throat couple times before she frowned to Bo.

" What?...Oh." Bo wiped her face with her sleeves. As soon as the blonde woke up, Bo suddenly realized that she was holding her hands and had her lips on them. She immediately let them go and stood up to get some tissue.

" And you don't even have a scratch on you. Aren't you the chosen one." Tamsin smirked, like always.

" How did you...when did you...what the hell has happened?" Bo found it was really hard to ask one question without asking another.

" Me and Dyson went off the cliff. I woke up in some shitty hospital. I left. Then the next thing I knew was everyone's favorite succubus crying in front of me." Tamsin sat up and leaned back on the couch. She watched Bo walking around in the kitchen trying to get something for her to drink.

" Why the hell did you leave the hospital? You could really use some tlc right now."

" No need. The nurses are too ugly anyway." Tamsin said.

" Well, I'm glad that your smart mouth didn't die with your truck." Bo rolled her eyes when she was making a hot chocolate for Tamsin, " I thought I told you to meet at the Dal."

" I did. That place was a shit hole. And you said to go somewhere safe, so, here I am." Tamsin lied down again. As tough as she acted, she still felt the pain all over her body. She felt exhausted and frustrated.

" Here, drink this." Bo handed her a mug of hot chocolate.

Tamsin took the mug, but she didn't drink. Instead she stared at Bo's face. She reached her right hand out and laid her thumb on Bo's face. " You missed one, succubus." She wiped a drop of tear away. Then she smiled and licked the tear off her finger tip.

" Salty." She said. Then she started to drink the hot chocolate slowly.

Bo was a little bit startled. She didn't know what to say to Tamsin. She was not used to moments like this with her. When the blonde was not saying anything sarcastic or kicking anyone's ass, when the blonde was actually showing some true feelings, Bo had no idea how to handle it.

" Can I have some special ingredient in my hot chocolate?" Tamsin said.

" Huh?"

" Say... vodka?"

" Absolutely not!" Bo said, " Just drink your hot chocolate and go to bed!"

" Wow, we haven't had a single drink yet, and you are already asking me to go to bed with you?"

" Very funny." Bo rolled her eyes again. She felt that something was off. Tamsin was always sarcastic, but she never actually made any dirty jokes with her. Then she noticed something. She approached Tamsin's face and looked at her for a minute, then she said:" Tamsin, are you high? Your pupils are dilated."

" I may have had a little too much extra pump of goodies from the hospital." Tamsin smirked, " You know, it was really a long walk from the hospital to your place. How do you think I manage to get here?"

" You could have at least called me..." Bo said. Then she realized that she had lost her phone somewhere. Tamsin knew that too, but she didn't say anything. She just smiled and kept drinking her hot chocolate.

" Well, I guess we could play the million question game tomorrow." Bo stood up and said, " Come on, let's go to bed."

" You just don't give up, do you?" Tamsin said. But she followed the brunette upstairs without saying anything else.

" My pajamas and robes are all over there." Bo pointed at her closet," Take whatever you need."

" I prefer to sleep naked." Tamsin kicked her shoes away. Then she took off her jacket and pulled off her jeans. She unbuttoned her shirt and slowly took it off.

" Just as I thought everything is awkward enough." Bo said. It was not because Tamsin was half naked in front of her, it was because Tamsin stared at her the whole time when she was taking off her clothes, as if she was totally unaware that she was half naked.

" Well, I saw you naked the other day. I figure I should return the favor." Tamsin said. She reached her hands to her back and unhooked her bra. Bo turned her eyes away when the valkyrie exposed her breasts, not because she didn't want to see, but because she didn't want Tamsin seeing her staring at them.

" How's emmm...how's your injuries?" Bo knew she had to say something.

" Painful, but I'll survive." Tamsin lied down beside her. She tucked herself under the blankets.

Bo turned around to face her. She had one hand under her head and the other in front of her chest. She looked at the blonde, who was looking at her too. She couldn't help noticing the bandages and gauze pads on her. She could also see the bruises and contusions all over her body. Then her eyes fell on her black thong. Apparently it was the only thing she had on her at this moment.

Bo cleared her throat and moved her eyes away.

" If this is your succubus move, I'd say thank Gods you are pretty." Tamsin chuckled. She sounded like she was drunk and only half conscious.

Bo knew it was probably because of the pain killer or whatever she took before she left the hospital. She wanted to say something to her, or to ask her something. But before she even opened her mouth, Tamsin moved herself close to her.

Tamsin gazed into her eyes, with a hint of smile on her face. Then she moved her eyes down as she laid both her index finger and middle finger on Bo's chest.

Bo raised her eyebrows and looked at Tamsin. " Tamsin, what are you doing?" She asked.

Tamsin didn't answer. She didn't say anything. She leaned over and laid a kiss on Bo's chest, at where her finger tips were.

Bo felt her heart just skipped a beat. She felt the blonde's breath on her chest, warm, tickling. It blushed her. She suddenly recalled something.

You heart is both strong and gentle.

Tamsin said that to her when had her fingers tapping on her chest in the bathtub the other day. Now she had kissed the same spot.

An extremely painful yet warm sensation filled Bo's heart like an explosion. It wiped her mind out for a few seconds. She couldn't move, or talk, or even think. The look in Tamsin's eyes the other day when they were both in the bathtub kept flashing through her mind. The sadness, the vulnerability, the pain, and one thousand of other emotions Bo couldn't distinguish.

Bo just lied there thinking about it, with the soft, warm lips of the valkyrie on her chest. She felt like the moment in bathtub and the moment right now had just overlapped.

Then she realized that the valkyrie had already fell asleep, with her face pressing against her chest and her hair locks spreading all over the pillow. The valkyrie had her hands on Bo's waist. But instead of wrapping around her, she had her hands clenched to fists on her pajamas, as if she was trying to hold on to something when drowning.

Bo sighed. She hesitated for a while, then she put her arm on the blonde's waist.

Bo couldn't tell if she was happy, worried or scared right now. She just felt the warmth from the blonde. It comforted her.

At least I still have you. Bo thought. At least I still have you.
