I find it funny that there are certain individuals who will complain if they don't like a story. I will not apologise to close-minded individuals who have nothing better to do. These individuals have no clue what my story is about. No Lauren is not straight or in love with Dyson, as she is trying to pretend she is normal. It might appear to seem that way but that is the shock value I am looking for. If these individual bothered to wait for the next chapter then they would see that Bo and Lauren is not that much different from their TV character and even if they were, this is my story from my point of view. Don't like...don't read. I have read so many wonderful stories in this forum that stray from the TV character and I have no problem as I love reading doccubus, regardless how they are presented. It's rather amusing to those who have complained, because they know nothing about me. To insult me as if I don't understand the TV show is trivial. This is a forum to express yourself as a writer and I don't claim to be a good writer, just something who wants to share my stories whether they are good or not. To the haters, if you are going to post a negative review...I have no problem with it but be classy and don't use swear words because it makes you look childish. And to those who may enjoy this story, thank you for reading and I hope that this story will make you laugh, feel angst, and above all, make you think. This chapter is more revealing as to how Lauren is and what her struggles are.

Chapter 2

Everyone left at 7:30pm. Lauren walked back towards her building alone, wondering why everyone seemed so well mannered an athletic looking; they almost looked like a different breed. As Lauren rounded a corner she was almost knocked over by a taller woman who reminded her of a roaring buffalo. "Christ, can't you watch where you're going." Lauren said trying to catch her breath and feeling like she just got the wind knocked out of her.

"Don't get your knickers in a twist baby." Bo looked amusingly down at this woman. Lauren glared at Bo angrily. Damn woman she thought. Obviously she had no apologetic look in her eyes.

"Excuse me, what did you say?" Lauren looked into the deep brown eyes that were looking back at her. It stuck a cord inside her for a moment as she realised the woman standing in front of her was absolutely gorgeous.

"You heard me or are you deaf? I don't make a habit of repeating myself to strangers." Bo stared back at this woman who spoke in a soft English accent. She had long blonde hair and wore a tight black top and gap denim that showed all her curvatures. She couldn't help by eye her up and down. What a babe she thought to herself grinning.

"Didn't your parents teach you any manners? You ain't the bloody Queen Mary." Lauren exclaimed angrily.

Bo just continued grinning at the stranger. This woman is beautiful and damn if I do say quite sexy when she is angry she thought to herself. English, yeah but she's probably straight and not into women. It's just too bad she though; she met a lot a beautiful women but the blond haired beauty in front of her was not just stunning, but had a certain quality she found appealing.

When Bo looked at the stranger she noticed the cold steel blades that was transmitting from her eyes. As always Bo was coy in her approach. "What, not used to being upstaged?" Bo stared into her eyes transfixed by the beauty of the brown eyes looking back at her. The colour of her eyes seemed to sparkle. Damn why is she having this effect on me? I guess the skies are not the only thing threatening rain she thought. But before Lauren could respond Bo leaned a little closer to her and said is a low sexy tone "You may be beautiful honey but don't flatter yourself. Looks can only take you so far."

Lauren's mouth just dropped. She was stunned that someone could be so utterly rude. She was lost for words as she tried to recompose herself as she knew she was being made a fool.

"What, cat's got your tongue?" Bo toyed with her. Before Lauren could react she caught herself raising her hand to slap her face. "Oh no, you don't!" As Bo caught the stranger's wrist and squeezed hard.

"Let go you're hurting me you brut." Lauren protested.

"I don't think so. You just tried to slap me so don't deny it. I wasn't born yesterday. That was your intention wasn't it." Bo said looking into her eyes and she knew that she was probably hurting her wrist so she released her grip slightly but still held on to it.

"I…." Lauren didn't know what to say. She was right. She had intended on slapping the stranger but it was just out of reaction. She now found herself feeling rather embarrassed at the situation. She didn't know what to do but looking into this woman's eyes made her feel a little uneasy. It was unnerving.

"Look if I let you go will you promise to get a grip on things." Bo looked waiting for her to respond.

"Yes." Lauren said in a low whispering voice looking down at the floor. She felt vulnerable and she didn't know why except that she had butterflies in her stomach.

Bo let go and the two women stood there for a few seconds feeling awkward. Lauren looked up and she saw the fiery in the woman eyes and for a second she felt lost and wondered why she couldn't move and the realisation of what she said earlier brought her back to planet earth. Bo saw the change in her eyes from confusion to anger and backed away.

As always Bo couldn't help but let her tongue get the better of her. "Well don't let me stop you from moving." Bo regretted her words the minute it left her mouth. She berated herself for acting like a complete twit and wondered why she just didn't keep her mouth shut?

Lauren was livid. She felt angrier with the woman who for some reason was eliciting all sorts of emotions that she longed ago fought to never feel again. "Sodding hell, you are the rudest person that I have ever met." Lauren then proceeded to walk hastily away wanting to put much distance between her and this brutish woman that was making her angry.

"Well the feeling's mutual miss-I'm-all-that. Why would I want to waste my time talking to a bookworm like you?" Bo felt a pang of disappointment. She really didn't mean to be rude but her beauty compelled her to act like a damn fool. Shit, why do I put my foot in my mouth? And whoa that sexy soft English accent can win me over anytime. All Bo could do was to roll her eyes in despair as she realised she must have left a bad impression on the blonde beauty.

Lauren looked back and stopped walking and with a steely voice proceeded to say, "I feel sorry for that person that puts up with your rude and disgusting behaviour. You should be ashamed of your actions. I can't believe they let the insane out as I'm inclined to give sympathy to bacteria than an insolent dumb-ass like you." And with that Lauren continued walking away feeling her anger boil.

Bo knew she had behaved badly. She couldn't help putting up her defences. As she watched her walk away she noticed the way she carried herself. She liked the way her gap denim clung to her body. If she wasn't such a moron then perhaps she could have gotten to know her better but now she figured she would probably never get that chance again. She just shrugged her shoulders and walked away as she headed towards her building.


Later in the evening Bo met up with her brother Dyson. He was in his third year and he was happy to have Bo there. When he left for University they didn't see each other much, usually only during holidays and family functions. When she first arrived he wanted to show her the campus and knew that if his team Varsity Blues was going to win again he needed to have Bo on his team. He was really proud of Bo and didn't take any bull from any of his friends about Bo's sexual conquest. He knew Bo swung both ways but he noticed all the meaningful relationship she had were with women.

"Bo over here," Dyson motioned to his sister. Bo gave him a big hug and a punch on his arm for good measure. "Come here you daft cow, now tell me what plans you have this Friday. Usually every Friday there would be some sort of party happening. It usually involved heavy drinking and loud music.

"Nothing at the moment," Bo replied. "I was planning to write some music."

"Then come to the Dal. A bunch of us is going to be there. It's going to be Hale's birthday.

"Yah, sounds like a night of heavy drinking and apes pretending to be human groping each other. What more can a girl want?" Bo said with a grin.

"Oi it won't be like silly." Dyson looked at his sister knowing that he himself had been to those kinds of party in his first and second year at the University.

"I know, just being my usual wise crack. I'd love to come. Do I need to bring something?" Bo wondered.

"No just yourself, and besides there is someone I want you to really meet." Bo raised her brow in curiosity. "Oh don't give me that look. Remember a while back I told you I was dating someone. Well I think it's kinda getting serious and I really want you to meet her." Dyson said looking for Bo's approval. As with all the girls he previously dated, Dyson would always get her point of view if he thought he might want to bring her home. Usually she was spot on the girls that she thought wasn't good enough for him.

"Oh I see, ready to settle down are we? You're usually the love them and leave them type." Bo winked at her brother knowing that her teasing him would make him feel cheap.

"You twat, you know I'm not like that anymore. Sure I had my wild side but I could say the same thing about you too. You weren't exactly the lasting type either, if I remember all your conquest." Dyson shot back. "I can't believe you broke my best friend's heart. He still hasn't gotten over you."

"Yeah well, tell him to take a number," Bo replied remembering what an idiot she was for ever getting involved with such a clingy person. He was worse than a women, crying for her to give him a second chance.

"You cold hearted tramp," he said laughing.

"Ay, that hurts. Yeah you're right. We were both crazy aren't we?" Bo said, remembering when they were in high school together.

"Let's get something to eat I'm starving and I'll tell you more about her." Dyson said grabbing Bo's arm as they both laughed making silly faces while joking around.


"What the hell, it's you….again," Lauren said wondering why the woman that pounded her heart with such anger and confusion was standing in front of her once more.

"What, not expecting me? Hope I didn't ruin your day." Bo said feeling excited that this beautiful English woman was now in front of her again. She didn't know if she would run into her again. "Are you not happy to see me." Bo said leaning closer and making the stranger feel nervous and uncomfortable.

"Well…" Lauren said feeling nervous at the sight of the stranger who rattled her nerves.

"Well what?" Bo said a little dumbfounded.

"You didn't answer my question." Lauren shouted.

"I didn't realise that you asked me a question. I should be asking why someone like you would be at this arena" Bo shot back not giving Lauren an inch. She couldn't help but toy with the blonde beauty.

Lauren was livid. "Not that it's any of your business but I'm here to see my boyfriend." Lauren said wondering why she felt that she had to defend herself. She was feeling awkward and she started getting butterflies in her stomach again. Why do I feel this way she thought?

"Oh really, is this boyfriend of yours trying out for the team?" Bo said with a raised eyebrow. Damn she has a boyfriend, as she suspected.

Lauren looked at her with curiosity and wondered why this woman cared. "Not that it's any of your business, but he already plays for the team."

"Oh…...I see." Bo mused to herself. I wonder, which sod is her boyfriend? Lord, tell me it's not Ryan fucking Lambert.

"So…" Lauren again asked the stranger, wondering why she had to be so difficult. Why didn't she just walk away?

"Yeah….I didn't realise that I needed to report to you. Are you going to hang-cuff me now?" Again Bo couldn't control her tongue. In truth she was disappointed that she had a boyfriend. "Now if you don't mind I'm expected somewhere." And with that Bo disappeared quickly leaving a red faced Lauren standing like a fool once more.

Lauren again was left speechless and dumbfounded. She is so bloody arrogant and rude, and who made her the centre of the universe she questioned. She was left frustrated but a burning question remained: why did this woman make her feel like a school girl? Damn, she infuriated me with such ease as she shook her head. Why do I always seem to find myself in these situations? She only hoped that she wouldn't run into her again but deep inside she knew there was a chance they would. And in truth, she found herself wishing things turned out differently but she never had luck with love. Then she thought about her parents and sighed. Why did she have to be different?


Lauren watched in the stands as Dyson and his teammates did practice drills. She noticed that there seemed to be a lot of friction between the goalie and a forward with whom she knew as Ryan, who she didn't think fondly of. Dyson had introduced them a little while back. When she first met him she didn't like his character. He seemed too arrogant for her liking. And she didn't appreciate the way that he looked at her and his off-hand comments when he thought that Dyson wasn't listening. For some strange reason she thought she knew that goalie. She couldn't tell how he looked underneath his mask but felt like she met him somewhere. There was a way that he carried himself and how confident but not arrogant in his ability. He certainly was good in his position. Lauren had never seen anyone make so many brilliant saves. Lauren herself wasn't a fan of hockey but she knew that Dyson would be pleased if she watched him. But she realised that she couldn't be a cheerleader as he hoped. It really wasn't something she saw herself doing. She was better reading books and at hypothesis or debating a formula. She didn't want to pretend to be some dumb blonde cheering by her man. It was enough that she felt like a phoney going through the motions.

She watched the game progress and noticed this very attractive woman eyeing the goalie, jumping up and down every time the goalie made a save. She thought to herself, she must be his girlfriend. Lauren tried to watch Dyson interact with the other players but found herself being intrigued by the goalie. There was something about that goalie that appealed to her. She wondered why she had those thoughts and just brushed them aside.

After practice Lauren waited for Dyson to appear.

"Hey babe," Lauren enveloped Dyson in her arms. "Wonderful practice babe, you are a natural at this game. I bet you can turn pro one day." Dyson lean over and kissed Lauren on the lips.

"Listen Lauren, there's someone I would like you to meet." Dyson said still holding her in his arms. "Bo over here," he motioned with his hand.

Lauren could see a figure in the distance wearing a white cap and with their back against her. As the person turned around Lauren's expression turned to horror.

Bo turned when she heard her brother calling her name and when she did she noticed Dyson with that English babe and they were holding hands. Oh shit she cursed herself. Of all women why her? Well, then again this might get interesting she thought. As she made her way towards them she had this huge grin on her face. She knew that Lauren wasn't going to be happy finding out that the woman she bumped into twice who she thought was the rudest person she met actually was her boyfriend's sister.

"Lauren I want you to meet my sister Bo." Dyson said excitedly.

"Sister," was all Lauren could manage to say.

"It's nice to meet you Lauren. I've heard nothing but good things about you." Bo said making Dyson blush. She extended her hand out and as both women hands touched for a moment a bolt of electricity passed through them.

"Hello," Lauren said in a low voice wondering what just happened and wishing she was invisible. How the hell was she was going to get along with Bo?

Dyson looked at both women noticing the tension between them and decided to break the silence. "Lauren, Bo plays goalie and if I have anything to do with it by the weekend she will be on the team. She's the best goalie we have not that I'm being bias"

Lauren looked horrified. Goalie! Then the realisation of her earlier thoughts came to surface and just then she began to blush all shades of red. This did not go un-noticed by Bo.

"What's wrong Lauren you look a little flushed." Dyson said with concern.

"I….er….just feeling a little tired." Lauren looked at Dyson with pleading eyes.

"So this is the famous Lauren that I have heard about." Bo said trying to break the thick tension.

Lauren tried to recompose herself because she didn't want Bo to think she got the better of her said, "Well your brother didn't mention that much about you." Bo looked over at Dyson with disparagement.

"What…I just wanted you two to meet before I started telling Lauren how wonderful of a sister you are."

"Really…..I'm sure Lauren wouldn't mind me telling her a few sordid details about your younger years. How you used to wet your bed." Bo said toying with Dyson. Just then a voice in the distant shouted Bo's name.

"That's not true," he looked at Lauren. "Who's that Bo?" Dyson said with curiosity.

"Oh just some girl I met a few days ago. She seems nice enough." Bo said sounding uninterested.

"Well by the way she's looking at you I'd say she's looking for more than just friendship." Dyson laughed. Lauren looked at Dyson and then to Bo and blushed a shade of red for the second time. She didn't know how to react.

"Oh sorry, I guess Dyson didn't tell you that I like girls too?" Bo said empathising each words as she looked over at Dyson shaking her head.

"Well it's not like it came up in discussion." Dyson defended himself.

"Is there a problem with this revelation?" Bo looked straight into Lauren's eyes trying to get an idea of what she was thinking. "It's not like I haven't been with guys, but there's something softer about women."

"Why should there be." Lauren said sarcastically. "Your bed partner has nothing to do with me. Who you fall in love with is none of my business. And if you like to keep your options open why should I care." Lauren said with a harsh tone feeling a little annoyed with Bo making presumptions.

"Bed partner, that's a good one," Bo laughed. "I'm sorry if I seem rough but I've met all types and I just like you to know where I'm coming from." Bo shot back.

"Ladies come on, just a little misunderstanding." Dyson pleaded knowing that whatever was happening was not turning out as he planned.

"Bo," Evony approached. "Are you ready to go?" She said feeling protective of Bo. She didn't like the way Bo was looking at Lauren. It made her feel jealous.

"Yeah, just give me a minute okay." Bo turned her attention towards Lauren. Her face was softer. "Sorry Lauren, it's really nice to finally meet you and I'm sorry for my actions towards you. I would very much like to get to know you better."

Lauren noticed Evony watching her and felt that she was a little possessive. "I'd like that too." Lauren extended her hand out to Bo. Bo reached over and took Lauren's hand and for the second time, a bolt of electricity passed through them shocking their system. They both looked at each other still holding hands and wondering what to do next. Their bodies just froze like time in space. Neither woman wanted to let go. And even if they wanted to let go they couldn't.

"Well I'm glad that both women in my life will make an effort to get along." Dyson said, breaking the trance that held both women captive.

Lauren released her hand that was still holding Bo's and she felt a little overwhelmed with emotions. There again was the feeling of something she could not grasp or begin to understand. The feeling she had earlier when she ran into Bo. But why she tried to reason with her thoughts? She never felt that uncomfortable around a person unless they were making her feel cheap but that wasn't the sort of feeling she was getting. It was more of a warm feeling. No stop dead in your tracks Lauren told herself. You're not even supposed to like her. Remember she's rude. Lauren thought that although their first encounter was rather hash there was something soft about Bo that she liked. She thought about it and decided that she would try to be friends with Bo. She could always use friends. The only friends she managed to make so far was with a few women she spent time with on occasions but mostly she spent her days with her best friend from her high school back in England named Vex who happened to be gay and English. It was ironic that they both decided to study aboard and at the same University.

"Don't forget Bo, tomorrow is Hale's birthday bash at the Dal. If you want to bring your new friend then it's okay." Dyson said before giving Bo a pat on the back.

"Right, I'll call you later then. Lauren, it was a pleasure meeting you." Bo gave Lauren a warm smile before she made her way towards Evony. Lauren looked on watching them both walk away. That woman doesn't seem right for Bo she rationalized to herself.

"So, what do you think of Bo?" Dyson inquired.

"Well….I…she seemed nice although, a little rough around the edges." Lauren said noticing the similarities between Dyson and Bo. She found Bo to be more charming even though she did have a short fuse.

"Yeah she is a bit. Bit of a temper and a hot mouth and you wouldn't want to get on her bad side but she's really a softy inside once she lets her guard down."

"I can see the similarities between you too." Lauren replied feeling guilty for thinking about Bo, a rude, but beautiful women who she knew she found attractive. There again, was that feeling she had back in high school. She remembered she had a fascination towards one of her female teachers and even thought she might have been going through an identity crisis until one day her mother read her diary and everything changed. They sent her to see a psychiatrist and eventually declared her normal. But deep inside she knew she wasn't normal. So she pretended to be happy for her parents and when she had an opportunity to leave England to study aboard in Toronto she didn't hesitate. Then she met Dyson, no sparks but he was gentle and kind and she needed a boyfriend to show her parents how normal she really was. It was a sad affair but meeting Bo she felt her walls crumbling. This could get dangerous.

"Yes that's us, the McCorrigans. Were a force to be reckon with." Dyson laughed grabbing Lauren into a hug.
