WILD 8

Two weeks had come and gone since Bo and Lauren had come to terms on what they were feeling. Things had been going well and they still continued there in school routine. They didn't want to change much up and cause a seen so soon. Bo and Lauren wanted to keep their relationship to their selves as long as possible. Lauren went over to Bo's most nights until she had to be at home. Since her overnight stay at Bo's, her mother set some new grounds rules with her father gone. They were reasonable, but Lauren still hated to leave Bo's arms every night.

"What are you thinking about?" Bo whispered in Lauren's ear from behind. They were snuggled together on the couch watching some re-run.

Lauren turned on her back so she could see Bo's face before she answered. "How I wish I didn't have to go home in ten minutes."

Bo smiled at Lauren before moving in and planting a small kiss on her lips. "Me too, but I'd rather see you tomorrow than for you to get grounded."

"You're so considerate." Lauren joked and reached up to tuck a strand of Bo's hair behind her ear.

Bo laughed and nuzzled her face into Lauren's neck. "If you stayed, I wouldn't be able to keep my hands to myself."

Lauren held her breath when she felt Bo's breath against her neck and her hands trailing up the bottom of her shirt. She waited patiently not expecting what was coming next. Bo started tickling Lauren on both sides of her waist. Lauren giggled uncontrollably and kicked around until she couldn't take it anymore. "Bo, please…"

"Please what?" Bo whispered into her neck and continued her onslaught. She loved the way Lauren said her name under distress.

"Please…please stop. I can't take it anymore." Lauren stated breathlessly as Bo loosened her grip on the blonde beneath her.

Bo pulled back and sat on her legs so she could get a good look. "Wow, you look hot all flustered."

A blush erupted from Lauren. She wasn't use to all the come-ons, but she didn't mind them from Bo. When she calmed down, she moved to sit up where she was now facing the brunette. Lauren reached out and pulled Bo to her, letting their lips collide together. Each one of them fought for dominance while Bo nipped and bit on Lauren's bottom lip. The action erupted a moan from the couple.

It didn't take long for their make-out session to lose control, but Bo needed to talk to Lauren before she had to leave. With a lot of will power, Bo pulled herself away from Lauren's swollen lips. She saw the confusion in Lauren's eyes immediately and didn't waste any time. "I'm sorry, but I need to ask you something before you go."

"Okay, ask away."

"I know it's last minute and I know we said we didn't want everyone to know yet, but I really want to take you to the Homecoming Dance." Bo asked as she searched Lauren's eyes for any indication that she might say no.

Lauren knew it took a lot for Bo to ask. She didn't want to disappoint her if that was something she wanted. Lauren had just never planned on going. "Bo, if this is something you really want to do then I'll go, but it's Friday night."

Bo let out a bright smile at Lauren's answer. "I know it's corny, but it's something I always wanted to do. I don't want to regret not going twenty years from now."

Lauren loved the fact the Bo was a hopeless romantic. It was something she failed at. She just never dreamed of rose petals and happy endings. Lauren definitely wasn't going to disappoint. "Okay then, we'll go, but your picking me up."

"at six?" Bo asked.

Lauren was confused. The dance started at 11 o' clock. "Why six?"

Bo grinned like a Cheshire cat. "I want to whole experience. Football game and all…"

Lauren smirked. "Really, Bo?"

Bo didn't answer, but instead placed another warm kiss against the blonde. Lauren kissed her back fully before pulling away. She really hated leaving. "I'll see tomorrow in class."

"Be careful." Bo whispered before stealing one more kiss from the blonde.

The next afternoon, Lauren had asked her mom to take her shopping for a dress. Donna Lewis was very excited to take her daughter out. They hadn't done that in a while. With everything going on with the divorce, she really hadn't had any time to talk with Lauren. Every time she did, it was something involving grades or stuff around the house. Mrs. Lewis watched her daughter intently as she looked through the dresses on the rack.

"Homecoming, huh? Have you ever been to a dance?"

Lauren shrugged her shoulders. "No, it's not really my cup of tea."

Donna was now curious of what or whom could get her daughter to go. "Are you going with Tamsin and Hale?"

Lauren stopped in her tracks. She finally realized she hadn't told her about Bo. "Uh, mom. I need to talk to you about something."

Donna's eyes now sparkled in hope her daughter was finally dating someone. "Are you dating?"

"You can say that, I guess. It's Bo. We have been hanging out and well we like each other more than fiends." Lauren felt relief when she finally released the information.

Donna swallowed hard. She really wasn't expecting this, but she should have been. They had been spending a lot of time together. "Well, sweetie. Are you sure this is what you want? You and Bo have been friends for a long time."

Lauren smiled at the thought of Bo. "I know, mom. This is a new development., but she makes me happy. Really happy."

"Obviously happy enough to get you to go to Homecoming." Donna chuckled.

"So, you're okay with this? Me and Bo?" Lauren asked hoping to get the answer she wanted.

Donna smiled. "Baby, I want whatever you want, but no more spend the night parties."

Lauren giggled. "It wasn't like that. I just fell asleep."

"My point still stands. No sleep overs." Mrs. Lewis concluded and picked up a light blue dress from the rack. "How about this one?"

Lauren eyes lit up when she saw the dress. "I think it's perfect. Let me go try it on."

The night of the dance finally arrived, Kenzi and Bo started picking out dresses from Bo's closet. Bo didn't realize she had so many dresses. When Kenzi would take her 'bargain hunting,' Kenzi would make her buy dresses just because they were a dollar. Bo watched her best friend pick out at least five dresses from the closet before she turned to face her.

"Alright sweet cheeks, you have to pick from these dresses." Kenzi simply stated putting the dresses out onto the bed.

Bo obeyed and went over to the bed. Her eyes gravitated to a black dress on the end. She picked it up and held it against her body. Bo thought it accented her figure nicely, but she wanted a second opinion. "Kenz, what do you think?"

Kenzi walked in front of the brunette and held out the end of the dress. "I think you're going to be smoking hot."

Bo giggled at her friend's comment and laid the dress back down. "I was thinking simple. I want to wear my hair straight down. That's different from what I do every day."

"I've never seen you put so much thought into something."

"Well, Kenzi, I have never tried to impress someone before." Bo mentioned adding the finishing touches to her make up.

Kenzi smiled. "Hot pants has really done a number one you."

Bo cocked an eyebrow. "Hot pants?"

"Duh, have you seen how good she looks in jeans?" Kenzi stated nonchalantly like it was no big deal.

Bo chuckled. "Are you sure I can trust you alone with my girl?"

Now it was Kenzi's turn to laugh. "Bobo, I can appreciate a work of art when I see it, but trust me, I like the other package. The male package only."

"Have you ever been up close with a male package?"

Kenzi fell onto the bed and acted like she was stabbing herself. "That was cruel, Bobo. Just because I'm a virgin doesn't mean I don't know what I like."

"I'm just messing with you. I have to give it back to you sometimes." Bo told her friend and started to put on the black dress. "Can you help me, Kenzi?"

Without speaking, Kenzi leaned up and grabbed the zipper of Bo's dress. She pulled the zipper up and made sure it was in place. "There you go…"

Before looking at herself, Bo turned around to let her best friend take a glance. Kenzi eyed Bo up and down before flashing a radiant smile. "Bo, wow, you look really beautiful. Lauren will love it."

Satisfied, Bo turned back around and walked over to the mirror. She took her time by making sure her hair was in place and the dress didn't have any wrinkles. Bo agreed with Kenzi that she did look beautiful. Now, she just couldn't wait to see Lauren in a dress. Bo thought she looked good in anything, but it's different when your all dressed up for that special someone. When she finally turned back around, Kenzi was waiting on her with a pair of black wedges.

"You can't go without the perfect pair of shoes. I always knew I was good for something." Kenzi stated holding the shoes out to Bo.

Bo grabbed them and quickly put them on. Believe it or not, they fit perfectly. She stood and walked over to her friend and placed a kiss on her cheek. She truly loved the young girl more than she could explain. "Kenzi, thank you for everything. You know I love you right? I know things have started to change since Lauren has been in the picture, but you're my heart and that will never change."

Kenzi leaned it and pulled Bo into a hug. "Bo, I know that I can always count on you. Now, go have fun and have a nice night."

"I will and I'll see you after? I'm sure I'll need to have a heart to heart." Bo mentioned and grabbed her belongings and started toward the stairs.

Kenzi couldn't wait to her about Bo's night. "Of course, I'll have pizza."

Bo let out a huge breath that she didn't know she was holding. It took a few minutes to get out of her car and make the long walk to the front door. Her nerves almost made her sick on the car ride over. She had no idea why she was so nervous. It's not like this was their first date or anything. Once she reached the front door, Bo knocked two times hoping it would be Lauren who answered the door.

Unfortunately, it wasn't Lauren. Donna Lewis opened the door with a big smile on her face. "Bo Dennis, you are absolutely beautiful. Please come in."

"Thank you, Mrs. Lewis." Bo stated and gave a small smile as she stepped into the house. She watched them woman closely. Lauren had so many of her features. The only thing she got from her dad is her strong cheek bones and the color of her eyes.

"Bo, honey, I want you to know that you are welcome here anytime." Donna mentioned as they waited for Lauren.

Bo smiled. "Thank again, I hope Lauren wants me around."

Donna Lewis smirked. "Sweetheart, I don't think you have anything to worry about."

Bo smiled brightened at the statement and for the fact that Lauren was now making her entrance. She was absolutely stunning. Bo could have sworn her jaw dropped to the floor. The light blue dress matched well her slightly toned skin color and those shoes, well, they accented her graciously long legs just right. It was hard not to get lost. Bo wanted to look everywhere at once. "Lauren, that dress. Wow, you're beautiful."

The two Lewis women smiled at one another, knowing the dress would be a success. Lauren took the opportunity to walk up and put a chaste kiss on the corner of Bo's mouth. She liked the fact that it made Bo blush ten shades of pink. "Thank you and you look pretty amazing yourself."

Watching the two young women made Donna's heart swell, she thought back to a time when she had that. The puppy love was the best. "Will you to let me get a picture? This doesn't happen very often."

Lauren groaned. "Really?"

Bo laughed at the two. "Come on, Lauren. Don't you want pictures one day?"

Lauren huffed. "Yeah, when we look back and we realize how terrible we were dressed."

"No one can say you looked terrible in that dress…" Bo muttered forgetting the other woman was in the room.

"Bo!" Lauren chastised as they got in position for the picture.

Donna just laughed at the couple. There banter was cute and was really uncommon. She didn't see that a lot with most couples so young. "Okay you two, pose cute. I don't want any boring pictures to look through on my death bed."

Lauren and Bo didn't want to disappoint Mrs. Lewis. They posed a few different ways, some silly and some more romantic. In the end, the two were glad they fancied Lauren's mother. It literally made her day and the pictures were going to be awesome. Once they were done, Bo grabbed Lauren's hand. "We should go or we will be late."

"Just one moment." Lauren whispered and walked over to her mother. "Thank you for everything. Thank you for being so open minded."

Donna reached her hand out and cupped Lauren's cheek. "You are the most amazing young women I have ever met. Smart, beautiful and funny. Whatever makes you happy then I will support one hundred percent. I love you, Lauren."

Lauren hugged her mother tightly. "I love you, too."

The tigers won the game and Bo and Lauren enjoyed it more than they thought. Bo made Lauren eat her first funnel cake. The powdered sugar ended up being a mess, but neither one minded helping the other take care of the so called mess. They talked most of the night about things that had happened to them the past seven years. Both of them happy that they found each other again. It didn't take them long to make their way over to the high school gym.

"You ready to go in?" Lauren asked still holding onto Bo's hand.

Bo took her thumb and let it move slowly over Lauren's hand before she spoke. "Yeah, I'm just trying to spend as much time with you as possible."

Lauren enjoyed the fact that Bo wasn't scared to speak her mind. She always said what she was feeling. It was especially awesome when they felt the same way. "I have an idea."

Bo looked up to catch Lauren's attention. "I'm listening…"

"How about we go in for an hour, get a couple of dances in and then we can have some alone time." Lauren mentioned her idea to the brunette.

"I like the way you think, Ms. Lewis. Let's go in and have some fun."

Lauren shook her head at Bo and got out of the car. It didn't take Bo long to reach Lauren. Their hands met and they walked together up to the gym. Once they were finally inside, the couple was met by Hale and Tamsin. Bo couldn't help but roll her eyes as Tamsin arrived while Lauren smiled brightly and hugged them both.

"Wow, you two look awesome." Hale stated to Bo and Lauren.

"Thank you, Hale." Bo mentioned.

"Do you mind if I still my favorite lady for a dance?" Hale asked as he reached for Lauren's other hand.

Bo smiled at his carefree attitude. "No go ahead, but please bring her back."

Hale flashed both the women a smile. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of her."

Bo watched them walk out onto the dance floor before she realized she was left alone with Tamsin. She turned her attention to the blonde trying to be polite. "Tamsin."

"Bo." Tamsin simply stated back. She wasn't in the mood to play this game tonight.

Bo sighed and took the bait. "Look, I don't know what your problem is with me…"

"If you hurt Lauren, I will break your face." Tamsin barked before leaving Bo standing alone.

Wow, at least she has friends who care. Bo thought as Tamsin walked away from her. She still couldn't understand why Tamsin had it out for her. Bo had never done anything to hurt anyone, not intentionally anyway. Bo waited quietly another minute until she spotted Lauren and Hale coming toward her. She flashed them a smile and reached out for Lauren.

"I can't keep up with this guy." Lauren breathed out and leaned into Bo.

Bo enjoyed watching Lauren having fun. She really hadn't experienced 'older Lauren' enjoying herself outside their private time. It made her feel glad that she insisted on coming to the dance. Another song started playing through the speakers and she grabbed Lauren's hand. "Let's see if you can keep up with me."

As Bo started to drag Lauren onto the dance floor, Lauren looked back at Hale. "Help me…"

Hale flashed Lauren a knowing smile. "Have fun suga mama."

Once Bo reached the spot she wanted, she pulled Lauren into her body. Bo held tightly to Lauren's hips as they moved around the dance floor. With it being a school function, they kept it clean but got in a few inappropriate touches when they saw fit. When the current song was over, the lights dimmed and a slower song vibrated out of the speakers.

Breathing hard from their dancing, Lauren slowed and pulled Bo into her body. She wrapped her arms around Bo's waist as Bo let her head fall into Lauren's shoulder. They swayed like that back and forth for a moment before Lauren spoke. "Thank you for asking me to come."

Bo smiled against Lauren's shoulder. "I am so glad you wanted to come with me. I have really enjoyed it."

They enjoyed the rest of the dance in silence. Swaying slowly, just enjoying being close to one another. Bo breathed in Lauren's scent, Lauren smelt fresh like lilac and vanilla. She really couldn't pinpoint the exact smell but she liked it. The way she felt now as in safe and complete, Bo couldn't remember ever feeling that way. It felt so personal and intimate.

Lauren held Bo possessively. A need to protect Bo immediately washed over her. Lauren realized in that moment that Bo didn't have anyone to rely on. With her mother always gone and her father dead, Lauren didn't know of anyone else in her family that had anything to do with her. Lauren squeezed Bo tightly, enjoying the feel of Bo in her arms.

Bo felt Lauren embrace her body. She couldn't help but pull back so she could see Lauren's face. Her hair fell like it normally didn't against her shoulders, but there was a little more volume and a few curls that graced the ends of her blonde hair. Bo brought her hand up and let her fingers sift through Lauren's hair. She gently placed a few golden locks behind Lauren's ear so she could get a better look at her features. Bo's finger slowly made its way down her jawbone and finally rested on the crease of her neck.

Lauren was captivated by Bo. The look in her eyes as she traced over her face made Lauren turn to mush. When Bo's hand finally stopped on her neck, she reached up to capture it in her own. Lauren brought the hand to her lips and placed a soft kiss upon it. Their eyes met instantly. The compassion was almost unbearable. Lauren didn't want to wait another second before kissing the brunette.

The feeling was mutual as Bo and Lauren met in a sensual kiss. The kiss could be felt throughout their entire body. Bo moved to cup Lauren's face and planted a few soft kisses against Lauren's lips before she pulled away. "Will you please be my girlfriend?"

Lauren couldn't help let out a soft laugh. "I thought you would never ask."
