Lauren, facing away from the window, woke up with a hangover. She turned, hoping to admire again her succubus but found nothing but a wrinkled side of the bed. The blonde wrapped herself in a robe and went down stairs.
"Bo?" She called out. The free flowing house made it easy to see if there was anybody in the first floor. She checked the bathroom but nothing.
"Where did she go?" The blonde went to the kitchen to get a glass of water and found a note on the fridge saying "Be right back. Went to the groceries.."
"Since when does she do groceries?" Bo had a lot of traits but domestic responsibility was not one of them. Lauren knew it had been always Kenzi's job to do that. Although she did initiate the tumbling and tossing on the bed last night, the doctor still felt upset about Bo's prank. And Bo, disappearing for grocery shopping wasn't helping her feel better at all.
"Hey, sweetie. Good morning." Bo entered the house carrying grocery bags with a smile on her face.
The blonde put her glass on the table and crossed her arms. "Why didn't you tell me you were going out?"
Bo put the grocery bags on the table and started to put out the items she bought. "I left a note on the fridge. Didn't you see it?"
"I did." Lauren replied with annoyance on her tone. "Why did you go out alone? What if you collapse or something?" The blonde took some of the canned goods on the table and put them on the shelves.
"Come on.." Bo cuddled Lauren from behind. "Are you still upset about yesterday?"
"Yes I am." The doctor had always been so direct about how she feels. "Do you know how scared I was?"
"Let me make it up to you then." The brunette held the blonde's waist, turning her around to face her.
"I saw a nice looking restaurant down town. How about a romantic dinner?"
Lauren nodded and wrapped her arms around Bo's neck smiling at the sight of the necklace.
"Great…" Bo was happy to finally see Lauren calm down.
"You're wearing it.." The doctor pointed out.
They shared a gentle kiss which gradually became more fervent. The succubus' hands wander around the doctor's body, carefully cupping the familiar soft curves under the thin robe.
"Am I for breakfast again?"
"You claimed a succubus yesterday. What do you expect?" Bo traced kisses on her neck.
"The kitchen table looks nice…" Complimenting the table was clearly not out of their topic.
"Oh yeah…" The brunette carried the blonde and placed her on top of the table.
.

Bo had insisted for them to wear casual clothes than cocktail dresses making Lauren curious about what kind of restaurant they would go to. Bo didn't reveal much about the restaurant but she did promise Lauren a good time.
The women sat on the chairs directed by the waitress
"Music and Lyrics Diners hmm..Cozy place.." Lauren's face showed disappointment. She was hoping for a candle lit dinner, flowers, and a nice bottle of wine. It was just your casual diner which offered salads, pastas, all-sandwiches, fried-everything, bakedsomes and Spice Girl music stereos.
The waitress gave each of them a menu and recommended the bestsellers.
"Where's the ladies' room?" Bo asked after giving the menu back and with a strange look of flirting on her face.
Upon noticing Bo's look at the waitress, Lauren said to herself "Unbelievable.. She's actually flirting with other girls in front of me." She pursed her lips in annoyance.
The waitress gave a simple gesture telling where the ladies' room was.
"You're lucky to have a beauty." The waitress commented.
. "She's a succubus.." Lauren replied with a smile.
Lauren, alone and waiting for Bo and the food to be served, observed her surroundings. There were quite a lot of couples which she found unusual for the type of restaurant they were in. From one corner of the diner, she heard a piano. The waitress who took their orders were playing a nice sentimental music. Few seats away from her, a bald man knelt and started singing in front of his date.
I remember so well..
The day that you came into my life
You asked for my name
You had the most beautiful smile
He put out his hand asking the girl to stand and shared a tender gaze. Everybody was watching and smiling at the scene.
The man pulled out a white rose from his jacket. The couple walked, passing a smiling Lauren, and handed the flower to a tall blonde man who was sitting two seats behind her.
My life started to change
I'd wake up each day feeling alright
With you right by my side
Makes me feel things will work out just fine
He handed the flower to his date and continued singing where the bald man had left off.
Some of the diners took out their phones and recorded the scene of the two singing boyfriends dancing with their girls. "At least there is entertainment here.." Lauren mumbled to herself. Two couples continued their sweet dance all over the restaurant. The second couple stopped by two women who were recording everything using their phones. The blonde man took out a small box from his jacket and handed it to his girlfriend. Instead of opening, she handed the box to one of the two women. Both women continued the song together.
How did you know
I needed someone like you in my life
That there's an empty space in my heart
You came at the right time in my life
"Feels like I'm in broadway…" Lauren, for the sake of fun, took out her phone as well and began recording the scene.
"Hey, what's going on?" Coming from the ladies' room, Bo strolled back to her seat.
"The place turned out to be some kind of musical stage.." Lauren said with her phone still on recording.
"By the way, do you know this song? I've never heard it before." The blonde watched the couples dancing and moving from table to table.
"Sorry, I'm not really a singer Lauren." Bo replied.
"I'm not asking you to sing it.. I'm just asking if…" Lauren looked at the two women couple handing the box to the sheepishly smiling Bo. The doctor put her phone down slowly, her jaw in awe as Bo began to sing the lyrics.
I'll never forget
How you brought the sun to shine in my life
And took all the worries and fears that I had
Singing, the succubus put the box in front of the doctor. Lauren gazed at the box in front of her, biting her lower lip. After a deep breath and look at the singing succubus, she opened the box. No ring but a note inside.
I guess what I'm really trying to say
It's not everyday that someone like you comes my way
No words can express how much I love you.
Almost crying but laughing softly in between breaths, Lauren read it aloud "Can we please make this official?".
.
.
Outside the restaurant, the two women enjoy strolling towards the car. Lauren, with a big smile on her face, held the box and looked at it. She hadn't notice Bo calling her.
"Lauren..." Bo made her voice a little bit louder.
"Huh? Yeah?"
"Look, I know that this is our first time doing this but this is the part where you should give me a yes or a YES." The succubus still wanted to hear her answer.
Lauren laughed and grabbed Bo by the waist "YES... YES...". Kiss after kiss...
Bo giggled and hugged her fiance tightly. It was a happiness she had not felt before. Imagine, a succubus getting married-being monogamous. Dying was completely out of her mind. Perhaps knowing about death made her appreciate everything she had with Lauren.
Not so far from the couple was a man pointing a gun right behind Lauren.
"Lauren!" In a timely breath, the succubus moved; turned Lauren away shielding her. Her back took the bullet.

I know I told you guys that the update will be sometime next week but I just had to write this. I heard the song in the jeepney (Philippine public transpo) on my way home and it's interesting to note that somehow the singer sounds like Ana Silk's voice. Although I haven't heard her sing, her image came to my mind.. and yeah.. I HAD TO WRITE IT DOWN.
Is this chap too MUSHY for your taste? Let me know...
The story will progress gradually. Again, chillax. I hope that you enjoyed the mushiness of this chap.
If you're curious about the song here's the link of the original version "How Did You Know" by Chiqui Pineda (No she has nothing to do with Arnel Pineda of Journey but she is a Filipino) watch?v=49f4qfcLLVI

Doccubus forever~!
