Hello ! :)

Thanks to everyone who read this story, here's chapter 3, enjoy. :)


Lauren was staring at her reflection in the mirror. Within the previous thirty minutes, she had changed her outfit multiple times.

She tried skirt with blouse, then she tried dresses, but she felt so uncomfortable in them, especially because all these outfits would be the kind of things she would have worn for a date.

But she wasn't getting ready for a date, not at all, she was just going to meet her new neighbors, even if she already met one of them in a very unconventional and uncomfortable way, her heart was racing every time she was thinking about her meeting with Bo, she didn't know if that was because of this embarrassing situation or because it happened with Bo, it was probably Both. But whatever, focus on your clothes Lewis, she thought.

Now, she was wearing a simple jeans and a pink blouse with a pair of boots, the casual outfit, she felt comfortable in, for everyday situations.

She puts a light makeup to complete her outfit. Now she was ready, physically at least.

She took a deep breath and headed to Bo's apartment.

She was now in front of Bo's door, she hesitated for a few seconds before finally knoking to the door.

A beautiful brunette opened the door, but unfortunately for Lauren it wasn't Bo.

"Hello, who are you ?" Asked the brunette suspiciously.

"Eh...Hi...I'm Lauren." She answered a little taken aback by the tone in the brunette's voice.

"Oh ! Come in please...I was waiting for you !" replied the brunette, very much warmer than previously. "I'm sorry about my tone who wasn't very welcoming, but we're kind of use to have weird peoples who show up at a random time."

"Well, I'm a very weird person." Why can I act like a normal person for once ? Lauren thought to herself.

"I know. You're awkwardly cute from what Bo told me, I'm Kenzi by the way."

Awkwardly cute, Bo really thought that of her ? It was the first time someone considered her weirdness cute. Lauren felt so much more relaxed at this moment.

"Where is she ?" asked Lauren after she noticed that the woman of her dreams was nowhere to be found.

"In her bedroom." replied Kenzi. "You can go find her while I make the dinner. It's the second door to the right. "

"Okay. Thanks." Smiled Lauren.

Lauren headed to Bo's bedroom and after she opened the door she realised that she should have knocked first.

Bo was standing there, only with her jeans and her bra.

Lauren stared at her in shock, Bo wasn't only the most beautiful woman of the world, she was also the sexiest.

"Eh...I'm...Sorry...I should have knocked...But Kenzi told me you were here and I...I should go." Lauren had a hard time finding her words but for once she didn't blame herself. No one in the world could articulate clearly in front of this woman, especially with the lack of clothes she had at this moment.

"No, please Lauren, stay." Said Bo as she gets closer to Lauren. "It's only fair after what I saw earlier."

Bo winked at her and Lauren was sure she was melting inside, she was trying hard to keep a neutral expression, which was an extremely hard thing to do when Bo's perfect body was so close to her.

"I'm still ashamed about that." replied Lauren, trying hard to look away from the brunette body.

"Trust me, you have no reasons to be ashamed." Smiled Bo. "So, what should I wear ? The red shirt or the blue one ?"

"The blue one."

"Good choice." replied Bo while she puts her shirt on.

Bo and Lauren headed to the kitchen where they found Kenzi extremely focused on the preparation of the meal.

"So, what are you doing ?" asked Bo.

"Pizza."

"You make Pizza yourself ?" asked Lauren surprised, there weren't a lot of people that were making their own pizza.

"Yup, we still order from time to time. But I rather make them myself. "

"And that's one of the many reasons you're my best friend." Smiled Bo.

"Because I feed you well ?"

"Exactly !"

"You don't cook, Bo ?" Asked Lauren, visibly relaxed, she never thought she could feel so good in the company of two women she barely knew.

"I tried a few times, but Kenzi doesn't let me do it again." Said Bo with a pout.

She's so cute, thought Lauren.

"Bo, the last time you tried to make waffles you almost set the kitchen on fire."

"Whatever, I know that with more perseverance, I can do something good."

"I'm not sure about that." giggle Kenzi.

"Honestly, if Tamsin learned how to cook, everyone can do it." Said Lauren chuckling.

"You get a point Lewis." replied Kenzi.

"Do you know where she is tonight ?" Asked Bo to Lauren. "She told us, she had another plan, but that's happening more and more frequently theses last weeks."

"Well, the only thing I know is that she has a date with someone, but she is very secretive about these kind of thing, even with me."

"See Bobo, I told you Tam-Tam was seeing someone ! "

"Do you know if she see a woman or a man, Lauren ?" asked Bo

"It's a woman, But I don't know more."

"Well, we will have to investigate further !" Said Bo.

The three women chatted for a while, Lauren was surprised by the easiness she has to talk with Bo and Kenzi, she was happy to think that her friendly circle could extend by the presence of the two brunettes.

"Pizza is ready !" exclaimed Kenzi when the oven ring.

Bo, Kenzi and Lauren moved to the living-room who was much more comfortable than the kitchen.

"This Pizza is really delicious Kenzi." Said Bo.

"Thank you Bobo. So, Lauren do you have any pets ?"

"Well, actually no, I would love to but I just came here and I don't want to invade Tamsin's house further" explained Lauren. "But I plan to get a dog once I have my own apartment."

"I love dogs, I think they're my favorite animals." Said Bo.

"Me too." Smiled Lauren.

"Dogs are amazing, but I love cats more." Said Kenzi."I even plan to get one tomorrow."

"Really ?" asked Lauren with enthusiasm.

"Yes, I'm going to adopt him at the Toronto animal shelter. I already called them and now Streaky is waiting for me."

"Who's Streaky ?" asked Bo.

"The cat, the one I shown you earlier." answered Kenzi.

"That's so cool ! I can't wait to see him !" Said Lauren excitedly.

They keep chatting, Kenzi asked a lot of questions to Lauren about her job and Bo loved the passion she had every time she talked about animals.

Kenzi being Kenzi, she drank too much alcohol and she was now deeply asleep while she was still sitting on the couch, her head rested on Lauren's shoulder. Bo was actually jealous of her best friend, that was a feeling that didn't make sense to her, so she refused to analyze it further.

Bo phone rang again and once again, she ignored the call. Which it was something that didn't go unnoticed by Lauren's amazing observation skills.

"It's the ninth times you ignore a call. I wouldn't want to be the poor person who tries to join you." She said jokingly.

"Sorry...I...I just don't want to have another boring and useless conversation."

"I get that feeling." Smiled Lauren.

"What ?" Asked Bo, not understanding what Lauren was meaning.

"I don't like having boring and useless conversation and I don't like meaningless relationship either." explained Lauren.

"I like you Lauren, I know we have known each other for a short time, but I really like you." Smiled Bo.

"I like you too, Bo" Said Lauren shyly. I think I even like you a bit too much.She tried to distract herself from her thought "And I'm here if you want to talk about what bother you right now."

"Well, it's about my...I don't even know how to call him." Sigh Bo.

"Your boyfriend ?" Asked Lauren with a twinge.

"Not really...Dyson, we're friends and sometimes we...well you know."

Lauren nods in approval. "Let me guess, he wants more than a friendship with benefits."

"How everyone can know that before I even say it ?" asked Bo exasperated.

"I'm sorry Bo…" Said Lauren, not knowing exactly for what she apologized for, but she could sense the struggle of her friend's right now and she really wanted to help her.

"It's just...I like him, but I don't want to have this kind of relationship with him. I told him from the start, he knew what he was getting himself into. Do you think I'm a bad person ?"

"No, not all. You're far from being a bad person." Smiled Lauren."I think this kind of relationship often end badly, there is always one of the two people that fall in love, so this is not your fault."

"Thank you Lauren, for everything." Said Bo, putting her hand over Lauren's.

Lauren could feel her heart racing due to the contact of Bo's hand on hers. "You're welcome, that's what friends are for." She said squeezing Bo's hand gently.

"You're right." Smiled Bo.

"Well. It's getting late. I better go." Said Lauren." I start my new job tomorrow."

Lauren was ready to get up from the couch until she realised that Kenzi was still deeply asleep on her shoulder.

"Don't worry about her." Said Bo chuckling. "There aren't a lot of things that can wake her up, especially when she's drunk."

Lauren smiled at Bo and slowly gets up while she laid Kenzi gently on the couch.

The two women were at the door, they stared silently at each other, until Bo finally decides to open the door.

"Well, I see you soon, I guess." Smiled Lauren, she didn't want to leave Bo, but she really needed to get some sleep before tomorrow.

"Of course, I won't let go of you so soon." Said Bo with a smile that makes Lauren heart melt.

Lauren didn't know what's gotten into her but before she knew it, she rushed to take Bo in her arms.

She felt Bo wrap her arms around her body, she smiled at this feeling and breathed deeply her friend's scent while Bo tighten up her grip on Lauren. They stayed like this for a few seconds before letting go of each other.

"Well...Bye." Said Lauren awkwardly, still in shock over what just happened.

"Bye, See you soon." Smiled Bo.

Lauren headed to her apartment while Bo watched her.

Bo was still standing in the corridors, still thinking about Lauren and the hug they just shared and how much it felt so right.

A loud snore from Kenzi brought her back to reality.

She gets back into her apartment and closed the door behind her, still thinking about her new friend.

She didn't have the strength to carry Kenzi in her bed, it wouldn't be the first time, she would sleep on the couch anyway.

She gently puts a pillow under Kenzi's head and a soft blanket over her.

She watched her sleep for a while. Kenzi seemed to feel much better since yesterday and Bo felt so relieved to had got back her friend.

She smiled and kissed her forehead." Goodnight Kenz."

She gets a loud snore for answers and chuckled.

Bo finally decided to go to bed and hoped to get a good night of sleep.

Lauren didn't sleep a lot last night, even though she had a wonderful time with Kenzi and Bo, She couldn't stop thinking about the awkward goodbye Bo and her had shared last night.

She had hugged her ! "Why did I do that ? Why did she hug me back and why it felt so right ?" So many questions that Lauren had asked herself instead of sleeping. She was grateful that she didn't need a lot of sleep to function properly.

She started her new job today and she couldn't wait to go back to do the thing she knew she was good at, taking care of animals.

After she parked her car in the parking lot, she headed with determination to the building of the Toronto central animal clinic.

She rehearsed quickly in her head the sentence she was supposed to say before entering the secretary's office, suddenly she felt a little nervous.

"Hi, I'm Lauren Lewis, the new veterinarian." She said, faking to have confidence in her social skills.

The secretary didn't answer her and barely looked at her, she checked something on her computer and told her where the office of the Doctor Danvers was.

"Okay thanks." Smiled Lauren.

"Go there quickly, Doctor Danvers doesn't like tardiness."

Lauren was taken aback by the way this woman talked to her, and panicked about what she just said, she really hoped her new boss would be nice.

She was walking through the corridors when she finally found the door she was looking for.

"Doctor Eliza Danvers." She read.

Lauren made an effort at containing her anxiety before knocking on the door.

"Come in." She heard. This voice sounded nice and Lauren felt relieved.

"Hi, I'm..."

"Lauren Lewis, I know. I'm so happy to finally meet you." Smiled Eliza while she handed her hand to Lauren.

"Me too, Doctor Danvers." Said Lauren while she shakes Eliza's hand.

"Don't worry about formality Lauren, you can call me Eliza."

Eliza Danvers was a beautiful blonde woman probably in her mid-fifties, she had blue eyes that reflect kindness, it was enough for Lauren to know that working here would be great.

"So, are you ready to start working ?" Asked Eliza with a smile.

"More than ready !" Answered Lauren enthusiast.

Bo and Kenzi headed to the Toronto animal shelter.

Kenzi couldn't contain her excitement about seeing Streaky for the first time and bringing him at home. Bo was happy to see her friend so excited about something.

As they go to meet Streaky, Kenzi had the biggest smile Bo has ever seen on her friend.

"My little sweetie furry baby, you're even more cute than in the picture." Said Kenzi while she held Streaky, gently petting his little head.

"You're right Kenz', he's really cute." Smiled Bo. "But I wonder, why did you absolutely want a black cat ?"

"Well, you know superstitious peoples say that black cats bring bad luck, right."

Bo nodded.

"Because of this stupidity, animal shelters are full of black cats that no one want to adopt." Said Kenzi, looking softly at Streaky."So, I when I feel I needed a furry friend, I wanted to give a chance to a cat who would propably been stuck here his entire life if I didn't take him."

"Kenzi Malikov, the savior of black cats." Smiled Bo before yawning.

"You're tired ? " Asked Kenzi." It's barely noon."

"Well...I didn't sleep well last night."

"Let me guess, you were thinking about Dyson ?"

"No, I was thinking about..." Lauren, she thought."Yeah...You're right, I was wondering what to do about Dyson." She finally said.

"And did you know what you're going to do ?"

"Nope. I think I'm just going to keep ignoring his calls."

"Very mature." Said Kenzi chuckling."You know you can't avoid him forever."

"I know...But, I'm just not ready to face this situation yet."

"Okay, enough talking about D-man." Said Kenzi."It's Streaky's day."

"You're right." Smiled Bo."It's time we bring him home."

Bo and Kenzi headed to their car happily, their new friend secured in Kenzi's arms.

Lauren had spent an amazing day at work, after spending one month without working, she was happy to do the thing she loved the most. She really missed the contact with animals lately, which was something that make her want even more to get a pet.

She also couldn't wait to meet Bo and Kenzi cat's. Kenzi had asked her yesterday if she could go check on Streaky, after she was done with work. Of course, she accepted happily.

Before going there, she needed to go at her apartment, she didn't hear about Tamsin since yesterday and she really wanted to know how her best friend was doing, especially if she talked to her "not-girlfriend" about her feelings.

As she opened the door, she realised once again that she should have knocked first, even if she lived there, so technically she didn't have to knock before come in.

When it's going to stop happening ? thought Lauren while she watched Tamsin in a compromising position with another woman.

The two women were making-out on the couch, still completely unaware of Lauren's presence.

Tamsin was sitting on the couch while the woman Lauren didn't know was straddling her, her dress was raised above her knees while one of Tamsin hand was under it, her other hand was entangled in the other woman's hair.

Lauren loudly cleared her throat in a hope of making the two women aware that they weren't alone anymore.

They both jumped off the couch and quickly get up. Tamsin seemed embarrassed while the other woman seemed amused.

Since no ones were decided to talk, Lauren took the time to look at Tamsin "kind-of-girlfriend", she was tall and thin and everything about her appearance screamed "I'm rich."

Finally Tamsin decides to break the silence "Well...Lauren...This is Evony."

"It's...nice to meet you Evony." Said Lauren."I'm Lauren, Tamsin's best friend."

"I already figured that out, sweetie." Smirked Evony. "I'm happy to meet you too."

"Sorry... about the interruption." Said Lauren awkwardly.

"Don't worry about that." giggle Evony."Well, I think it's time I go home."

Tamsin escorted Evony to the door. "Well, I see you later." She said with a huge smile.

Whoa she really looks in love, thought Lauren while she looked at her best friend.

"Of course, honey." Said Evony before pulling Tamsin in a hot kiss.

This woman maybe has a hard time talking about feelings as Tamsin had told her, but she surely has no problem with showing public displays of affection.

After Tamsin closed the door, Lauren couldn't help to say "I thought we weren't allowed to have sex on the couch."

"No, I said that you weren't allowed to have sex on the couch, I didn't say anything about me." replied Tamsin."Beside, I had sex on that couch plenty of times before you moved here."

"Amazing !" Said Lauren ironically. "So, I guess, your night went well."

Lauren was about to sit on the couch until she thought about what must have happened on it a few minutes ago. She opted for a chair who was close to the kitchen counter. Tamsin joins her and sit in front of her.

"We had a good time." Smiled Tamsin.

"I can imagine." Said Lauren chuckling. "So, have you talked to her ?"

"About what ?"

"Your feelings !" Said Lauren."After I saw you with her, I can clearly tell that you're in love with her, I have never seen you like this."

"I was going to do it, yesterday and today...But every time she distracts me with... stuff"explained Tamsin. "This is so scary, I'm so afraid she rejects me and I just...I...I can't lose her, Lauren."

Lauren could see that tears started to appear in Tamsin eyes at the thought of being rejected by the woman she loved. She gets up from the chair and takes Tamsin in a comforting hug.

"Love is a scary thing Tamsin, but it's also a beautiful thing." Said Lauren, softly. " And I know, it's easier to tell it than actually doing it, but I think you should tell her how you feel. She probably shares you feelings and she's even more scared than you to face them."

"You think so ?" Said Tamsin, sniffing.

"With the way she kissed you before going, she's definitely not insensitive to your charm."

"Maybe you're right." Said Tamsin chuckling."I will talk to her when I'll find the right time."

"Good !" Smiled Lauren. "Now, I have to check on Streaky."

"Who's Streaky ? " frown Tamsin.

"Kenzi's cat."

"Since when, Kenzi has a cat ?" asked Tamsin surprised.

"Today." answered Lauren.

"Can I come with you ?" asked Tamsin.

"Of course." Smiled Lauren.
