Here we go again..

I would like to say a few words about some reviews..

To Vet: I´ve watched the movies that reminded you of my story. Good movies. I just want to say that I don't want to copy anything, maybe there are some influences. But the other way around, have you read ´Just like heaven´… amazing fanfic… great copy from the movie mixed with own ideas.

To Athena64: Thanks for the longer reviews. They kind of push me.

But also thanks for all the other reviews. They all help me to keep writing.

Have a great week and enjoy the next chapter…

Lauren´s POV

.

Things were going great so far. In school everything was fine, I could get Kenzi to actually learn, not to make origami out of her books and I also started to prepare myself for Yale, the application and the things I needed to convince the people to take me. I knew it´s still very early, but you have to be prepared and show your best. The only thing I did not really solve is my relationship with Beth, our relationship. We were dating now for little over 2 weeks and it was amazing. Our second we spent in the park. I prepared something to eat and drink, insisting on doing everything by myself, I have spared no expense. But Beth also wanted to do something, so I let her bring the blanket. While we were eating and drinking we talked about usual stuff, the weather, school. You could think this would be boring… it wasn't. I listened to Beth, what she said and how she said it. She was talking with so much passion when she told me something about new laws and how they would change the country or even the world. I thought if I would look like that when I was speaking about medicine… . As I asked her about her family, I was just curious about her father because she has never told anything about him, Beth blocked the question. She and her mother just left him and moved on. But after seeing her sad expression I would say there was more. Maybe there was something in the past, something about her father she didn't want to tell right now and I understood it. Maybe she will tell me someday about it. I didn't want her to force to tell me anything about her past. I just wanted to be there for and the most important thing for me is to also to earn her trust.

So here I am sitting now ..with Beth by my side in my room. She asked me if I could show her my notes from the last year to compare them with hers. We decided to study for an hour or two too. Her mother said that she has to be at home at 10. I could not really understand that because it was a Friday evening. It maybe was awkward that we study on a Friday but I was just happy to spend time with Beth. She said it was just her mothers angst that her only daughter would get kidnapped by ´bad men´. Her mother was very concerned about her… but why? Mmmh…

After an hour sitting at the desk we decided to switch to the bed, laid the necessary notes to the bed end, leaned against the headboard and continued studying. However since we were sitting on the bed I couldn't think about anything else than her. Our legs were touching slightly and my brain went flying out of the window. Any physical contact with her made me shiver. I truly didn't know how she is doing this. From the corner of my eye I saw her rising and falling chest. She was breathing a little too heavy for just studying. Did she noticed our contact too? My eyes moved upwards following her breastbone, stopping at her neck. This neck … I would kiss every inch of this neck seeing Beth unravel under my touch… phew… . I had to tighten my legs to stop the desire coming up between them. I closed my and took a deep breath.

"I think we have studied enough for today." Beth said. I opened my eyes seeing that she threw her folder to the bed end to the others. Looking on my watch we still had 30 minutes before she had to be home.

"We still have half an hour. What are we gonna do? ..Or do you want to go home?" I knew I sounded a bit desperate but I cared little, not wanting her to leave. As if she could sense my distress, Beth leaned over, took my folder and tossed it to the ground. She looked me right into the eyes and whispered, her lips only inches apart. "I have an idea what we could do?" Her nose was brushing against mine, it was such an intimate, also sensual gesture. I closed my eyes again and let this feeling wash over my entire body. I couldn't resist any longer, leaned forward to capture her lips and we both instantly had to moan because of this sensation of feelings. My tongue was caressing her bottom lip and she parted her lips so our tongues could glide against each other. We moved a little lower, now I was laying on my back and she was on top of me. As our breasts touched I had to gasped. It was so overwhelming. Our bodies were fitting perfectly like they were made for each other. She put one leg between mine and grind it against my now throbbing core. The sensation let me moan again. Her hands were all over my body fondling each part of my heated torso. The need for air overcame and she pulled slightly apart. I could see in her darker half opened eyes the same desire I was feeling and it made the wet pool between my legs even wetter. Desired by such an attractive, intelligent and sexy woman is all I was wishing for. I put one hand on her cheek caressing her lip with my thumb and she leaned into my touch. She had to smile and I saw her dimple I liked so much.

"Do you think I haven't seen how you looked at me seconds ago? Your eyes were practically undressing me. " It caused me to blush. She gave me a peck on my nose. "It´s so cute when you´re blushing. I like making you do that."

We kissed again. It was as passionate as the one moments ago but deeper, much deeper. My hands wandered down her back, stopping at her ass, squeezing it.

"God Lauren!" she moaned into my mouth. The kiss was getting feverishly, hands roaming all over. Beth kissed along my jawline to the neck finding all the right spots, stopping under my earlobe and whispered. "I don't know what you do to me but I don't want you to stop. I never wanted someone that much like I want you." That´s all I wanted to hear… but why couldn't I fully let go? I also wanted her, so much. However I couldn't, not knowing why. Her hands were traveling lower under my shirt causing me to hiss because of her warm hand that sent another electrical wave of desire through my body. That was the signal for me to end this or I couldn't stop anymore.

"Beth..!" It was more a moan than a request.

"Lauren..!" She didn't understand what I wanted so I put my hands on her forearms pushing her slightly away from me.

"Beth ..stop, please stop!" This time my voice was a little stronger but it still sounded like a begging.

She immediately stopped all her movements, pulled her hands away and sat up looking in my eyes with an confused but also concerned expression. We were both breathing heavy from our desire just looking into each others eyes. Maybe she was looking for the reason I stopped her. After moments of just looking into each others eyes Beth was the first who found her voice.

"Di.. did I misinterpreted something? I thought you… I´m sorry."

"I …I… " I didn't know what to say. I did not even know why I stopped.

She quickly stood up trying to leave. ´Oh god I have to explain it to her… but how?´ I took her by her wrist preventing her to leave. She simply stood there not saying anything nor looking at me.

"Beth please.. I can explain it…" ´Can I?´ Still no movement. I squeezed her wrist a little stronger. Finally she turned around. Suddenly I had a lump in my throat because of what I saw. She looked so sad, defeated.

"Please, sit down.." I begged wanting to explain it to her. She must have seen the despair in my eyes and sat down on the edge of the bed letting space between us, I released the breath I had been holding. I took both of her hands in mine stroking with my thumb over her skin. Not being able to look her in the eyes I just looked on our entwined hands.

"I want you, I really do…" I sobbed and tears were beginning to form.

"But.. ?" She spoke with a soft and calming voice. I said nothing and let the tears running down my cheeks.

"Hey… look at me Lauren." Beth took her hands out of mine and cupped my face, gently wiping the tears away. I still held my gaze away from her not wanting to see any disgust or pity. "Lauren, please look at me!" Her tone was a little urgent but always soft. Finally I looked her into the eyes and what I saw took again my breath away. There was no disgust or pity. Her eyes were full of warmth and compassion sending a calming pulse through my body and I instantly relaxed.

"Talk to me. I want to know what´s going on in your big brain." She kissed my forehead and I chuckled. This woman is remarkable. I took a deep breath and looked up. She was waiting for me to start and I did.

"I… My last relationship did not went very well. I thought she loved me. But at the end I´ve found out that she lied to me, cheated on me and that broke my heart. She did not explain why she did that. For her I was just a nice pastime and then she left not saying anything more. Since then I´m not able to fully trust another person besides my family… And here are you and that´s confusing me because you are so completely different than any person I have ever met. I cannot fall in love with anyone who will maybe break my heart again. I wouldn't survive it a second time." The tears were rolling down my cheeks again and I was not able to stop crying. Beth took me in her strong arms holding me tight. I wrapped my arms around her and buried my face in the spot between her shoulder and her neck, now sobbing even harder. She just held me, stroking with one hand over my hair, trying to calm me down. "Sshh… I´m here. I´m not going anywhere." She whispered into my ear. I haven't been that emotional since Nadia and I have broken up and it felt so good to be able to let it out. We sat there for what felt like eternity. After several minutes Beth pulled apart, but still holding me close and looked with her warm dark brown eyes into mine.

"Lauren, I want to be together with you. I know that you are afraid that I will leave you. But I will do everything to stay with you. I know that we only know us briefly, however I already know that you mean so much to me and I want to know where that leads us. I want to be there for you, fight for you. I want to fight for us Lauren. I want us."

"Really?" I looked up too her with teary eyes.

"And if you want to then we will try it. We will not rush into anything. You set the pace. I just want to be together with you Lauren. I want nothing more… . So will you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?" She smiled at me and I didn't know what to say and simply kissed her. This kiss was different than all kisses between us before. It was so much more in every way. Just seconds later we parted and I saw a huge grin on her face.

"I take that as a yes." We both laughed. "Okay, so now you go to the bathroom. I don't want to see you with puffy eyes. I cant stand it. I´ll wait here." I nodded, gave her a quick peck on the lips, got out of her embrace and went to the bathroom, letting Beth alone.

Bo´s POV

.

´Wow… I don´t what just happened but I´m the happiest person in the world. Lauren Lewis is my girlfriend… MY girlfriend. I have a relationship with this amazing woman. I can´t believe it. But I can´t leave her right now. But how do I explain it to my mom. I just call her.´ I put my phone out of my pocket and dialed her number. Only two 5 seconds later she picked up.

"Bo, is everything okay. Are you still with Lauren?" I rolled my eyes. Always the overprotective mom.

"Yes mom, I´m at Lauren´s house. I actually wanted to ask if I could stay here overnight."

"Bo, you now I want to have you around me, especially at night."

"Mom. I´m only 20 meters away from you. Please mom.. let me stay. I´m safe here." I could hear her sigh at the other end and knew I won.

"Okay, but please be careful. Are we clear?" ´Yay´

"Thank you mom. I love you. I´ll be careful. Thanks again. See you tomorrow." I hung up. Okay step one is done. Step two was now asking Lauren´s mom. Lauren was still in the bathroom, so I went out of her room, downstairs finding her mother in the living room reading a book and drinking a glass wine.

"Mrs. Lewis?" she startled.

"God Beth. Don't scare me like that. I thought that you were already at home."

"I´m sorry I scared you. Mrs. Lewis I uhm.. " I stammered.

"Beth is everything alright. Is Lauren okay?" She looked at me with concern in her eyes.

" Actually no. I wanted to ask if I could maybe stay the night here. Lauren needs me right now."

Mrs. Lewis put her book aside and stood up. "What´s wrong with her? Should I get up and talk to her?" She was on her way upstairs as I stopped her. "Mrs. Lewis this is not a good idea. Please let me stay the night. I can help Lauren. Please!" She stopped on the stairs looking at me, trying to figure out what was going on. Seeing that I was concerned about her daughter too she sighed. "Of course you can stay." She went down back to the couch and turned to me. "I don't know what is going on but please take care of her. I know that she really likes you and I just want the best for my daughter." I smiled at her, remembering that my mother said the same to me. "I take care of her. Thank you Mrs. Lewis." I said.

"Beth, you can call me Elizabeth." I nodded and went back to Lauren´s room. When I came in she was still in the bathroom. So I sat down a waited for her.

.

Lauren´s POV

.

I washed my face, changed my underwear because of the earlier actions and brushed my teethes. One finale look and I was ready for bed and that made me sad. It meant that Beth had to go home. I went to my bedroom seeing her sitting on my bed. She saw me and smiled.

"Are you ready for bed?" I nodded sat me on her lap, wrapped my arms around her not wanting her to go. She held me close to her.

"I don't want you to go." I mumbled in her neck.

"I don't go if you don't want to." She said while her hands were stroking my back. I looked up, a little confused.

"But your mom. You have to be at home."

"I asked my mom and she said yes. Then I went down to ask your mom. She agreed too. So now you just have to say yes and I stay the night." Now I had to smile too, so hard that my cheeks hurt.

"You are amazing." I said and kissed her. I couldn't stop smiling. "You too. Come one it was a long day. You need some sleep." I stood up and she went to the bathroom. While she was there I put all the notes from the bed and prepared everything. This was the first time since one and a half years that someone will sleep with me in the same bed besides Kenzi. After Nadia Kenzi slept by my side for some weeks. She supported me the whole time. She was the one who helped me out of the hole of self-doubt. I owe a lot to her.

After ten minutes Beth came back. I gasped. She looked amazing in her black bra and panties. Her body was well toned and I could see all her perfect curves. Slowly making her way to me, I couldn't avert my eyes, she stopped in front of me, her face only inches away and smiled at me. "Breath, Lauren." She whispered and went to the bed. I took a deep breath, switched the lights off and followed her. As we lay in bed I instantly snuggled up to her resting my head on her shoulder and my hand lay on her waist. One of her hands was on my back and the other one she put on my arm which was around her waist. It was really comfortable. All the stress from the day was fading away with her by my side and the tiredness came over me.

"Thank you." I mumbled half asleep.

"For what?"

"For being there for me."

"Always. Now sleep. I´ll be there when you wake up." I snuggled closer to her and fell asleep.

.

The next morning

.

Bo´s POV

.

The sun that shone through the window woke me up. First I didn't know where I was but as I felt a warm body pressed against mine I remembered. So it wasn't a dream. It really happened. Lauren and I are together.

Lauren lay on her back and it was the most amazing view I have ever had. The warm sun was shining on her face highlighting all her advantages. Her hair was spread all over the pillow. I could wake up like that every day just lying beside her and watching her. I stroked a strand out of her face and traced her jawline with my finger. As she began to stir I paused but still touched her. She moved into my arms and I wrapped mine around her. Even in her sleep she found me. Her face was now directly in front of my, she held me close and I kissed her lightly on the lips. She stirred again and slowly opened her eyes. When she saw me she grinned.

"Morning you. How did you sleep?" I brushed my nose against hers.

"Mmmh, I love it when you do that.. and I slept wonderful, thanks to you."

"Just doing my job." I did the appreciated gesture again and she smiled. "What are we doing today? It´s Saturday and I haven't planned anything. I thought we could spend time together."

"That sounds great. It´s Saturday, that means I swim in the morning. And we should probably stand up because of Kenzi. She has the ability to always come at the right time." Lauren said but we didn't move not wanting to let go of each other right away.

"I like the swim-part. Well I could see you in your swimsuit again. Can we just stay like this a little longer? I like it having you in my arms." I asked and she snuggled closer to me. "I don't mind at all." We stayed like this ten more minutes holding each other, not saying anything because it wasn´t necessary. We finally got up, at once missing the contact of skin to skin. Lauren prepared herself, put her swimsuit on while I was waiting by the pool. I hung my legs into the water an enjoyed the coolness. Shortly afterwards Lauren came, laid her towel on the chair and joined me at the edge of the pool. As I saw her I couldn't help it and my gaze wandered up and down her body. She leaned to me and captured my lips. My right hand cupped her cheek. The kiss was sensual and tender. Her tongue was caressing mine and it caused me to moan into her mouth. I never tasted such soft lips and it was really intoxicating. Every kiss with felt like the first kiss ever. She is the most talented kisser I´ve ever had. We kissed till the need for air overcame and we pulled apart.

"What was that?" I tried to catch my breath.

"Can´t I kiss my girlfriend when I want to?" A huge grin spread on my face. "Of course you can, whenever you want, babe." I said not able to stop smiling. "Now swim, and then we can eat breakfast." With a peck on her cheek she hopped into the water and swam her laps. She was swimming like a pro. She swam for fifteen minutes, all the time with the same speed. I admired her condition.

If I hadn't enjoyed it so much looking at Lauren while she was swimming I would have heard Kenzi coming from the rear.

"ASS BOMB…!" Kenzi screamed, ran past me and jumped into the swimming pool. And what an ass bomb that was. The water splashed everywhere and I was now soaking wet.

Kenzi emerged from the water and saw what damage she caused. "Damn.. I think that was my best so far..!"

"KENZI… Beth.. I´m so sorry." Lauren shouted, got out of the water and gave me her towel so I could dry myself. She glared angry at her. Kenzi and I just laughed. I put one hand on her forearm to calm her down and she did.

"Yo Be-bear.. whatcha doing here so early?" I looked at Lauren, wanting to know if I could tell Kenzi about us. She nodded and we both smiled.

"Lauren and I are together. I slept last night at your house." I said proudly.

"Uuuhh… congratulations you two.. and you slept here tonight… huh…sure." Kenzi gave us a smug smile.

"Nothing happened." Lauren said innocently.

"Sure.. nothing happened.." she winked at us. Lauren rolled her eyes but laughed. "Babe, you should go and change you clothes or you´ll catch a cold." She said and I went to my house. "Oh and invite your mom.. she can eat with us." She shouted just before I was inside. "Okay!"

I went through the kitchen of my house and wanted to go upstairs when I saw my mother, looking at me in disbelief. "Uhm.. can you explain me why you´re soaking wet?" she asked.

"Kenzi.." I simply said. "This girl is not from this world!" My mom said,chuckled and was about to go to the kitchen. "Wait! Lauren invited us for breakfast. So you don't have to do anything this morning."

"Okay… how are things with Lauren? Is everything alright?"

"Lauren and I are together now." My mom smiled at me.

"Honey, this is great. I hope you will be happy." She wanted to hug me but remembered that I was wet. "Alright then change your clothes and we´ll go eat breakfast. Then I can finally get to know your girlfriend. I´m waiting downstairs."

I changed my clothes and went with my mom back to Lauren´s house. They were already sitting on the porch, Kenzi, Lauren and their mother Elizabeth. I always wondered why all Lewis family members looked the same unless Kenzi. Lauren and her mother had the same wavy blonde hair, the strong jawline and these elegance. But Kenzi stood out with her black hair, the very slim body and her appearance. Maybe I ask Lauren later about it. Now wanted to be with her and get to know her mother.

We reached them and sat down, I next to Lauren. She had a towel wrapped around her body and her hair was now more curly but she looked amazing.

"Good morning Aife, Beth!" Lauren´s mom greeted us.

"Good morning Elizabeth. Lauren, thank you for the invite." My mom said and we began to eat.

Our mothers were talking with each other about the activities in the cities, new recipes and stuff like that. Simply the stuff mothers are talking about. I was happy to see my mom relaxed. Normally she´s always a little tense. But seeing her talking with Lauren´s mom I knew that she missed a normal life too. She wanted a normal life with friends, family festivals and all these things. However our past forced us to live the life we are having. She wished me a normal life and I wished the same for her. Maybe someday we will have this life.

An hour and a yummy breakfast later we got up and brought the dishes into the kitchen. Lauren and I went back to the garden where Kenzi was lying on a lounger and dozed. I thought about a little revenge for my wet clothes. Looking Lauren in the eyes she immediately knew what I wanted to do and we went quietly to the lounger. Lauren waited at the head and I stood right in front of Kenzi, blocking the sun. She felt the missing warmth and opened her eyes.

"Hey.. momma needs her sun!" She signaled me to go out of the sun, I didn't.

"You know what Kenzi?" I asked and leaned a little closer.

"What…?" I gave her a wicked smile and put my hands on her ankles. Her eyes widened and she knew what was coming. "Don't you dare!" Lauren and I laughed. "Oh I dare!" Before she could react Lauren had her hands under Kenzis arms and we carried her to the water. She tried to break free but together we were too strong. We stopped at the side of the pool.

"Any last words?" Lauren asked playfully.

"I´ll be back..!" Kenzi screamed. We all laughed. Lauren and I swung our victim and then we let go. "Aaahhh…" and she landed in the water.

I wrapped an arm around Lauren´s waist and she leaned into me. "Thank you.. for last night and this great morning." She said and I kissed her on the hair. "I´m there when you need me." I squeezed her and we watched Kenzi trying to pretend that she drowns, waving her arms around and sinking to the ground.

It was one of these moments I would never want to forget because they made me happy. I finally found a place where I wanted to stay. I found the person I could and want to spend the rest of my life with. For the first time after a decade of fear and hiding I found peace. The peace I never thought I would have. But I held her in my arms, my missing piece and I will never let her go.

.

Finally… huh

Okay let me know what you think… everything is appreciated!

To be continued…
