Heeey guys! It was fun reading through your comments from the previous chapter. I am glad that you liked reading from Bo's POV, and because of that, I'll be writing some chapters in the future, with her POV ;D I get why all of u hate Dyson now, I knew it when I wrote the scene :p It's just a little difficulty for the development of their relationship, I just wanted to play a little bit of jelousy between them, but don't worry there will be a lot of Bo/Lauren scenes, even though they are not partners for the project ;)
Anyway I hope you'll like and enjoy this chapter! Thank you for all of the follows/favourites and your wonderful reviews! xx It gets me motivated to write!
"Dance with me"
I had been here in Fae High for a week, and so far, liked it. These past few days I have been busy working on our chemistry project, with my partner Evony who was a Leanan sĂdhe. She seemed nice and interested into getting our project done, which was a good thing since I'm big at getting projects done before due.
I looked down at my phone when it began to ring. It was Kenzi. She has been nagging me all week to go out with her, but I was too busy working on the project, but today was Friday, and I knew that she won't let me get away this time.
"Hello." I said as I answered the call.
"Heeeey! Wazzzzzzuuuup?"
"Just got out of the shower, you?"
"Just picking my outfit for tonight, since I'm going at the Dal, with you."
"Yes, I know, I remember." I smiled.
"Good! I'll be in your room around eight." I could hear the excitement in her voice, which made me smiled even more.
"Alright, see you then."
"See ya!" Then she hanged up.
I checked the time, and I had about four hours before Kenzi would come, so I had a lot of time to get ready. I decided to read the Social Studies book for a while, since we were having it on Monday, it would be nice to know what the teacher would be discussing about.
I walked over to my study table and took a seat. I cleaned up the table before I placed my book and notebook on top. I liked having a wide and clean working space. I put my reading glasses and earphones on before I put the songs on my phone on shuffle. Then I began to read.
Most of the songs were mellow, something I liked to listen to, especially while doing school work.
An hour later, I had already written down three pages of notes. I began to sing out loud as I wrote on the fourth page. I was alone in the room, so I didn't mind singing out loud, I would probably hear it when Bo comes into the room.
I raised my eyebrow and stopped reading from the book, when I heard an unfamiliar tune playing. It was probably one of Kenzi's songs. She downloaded some songs into my phone, after we discussed about being stranded in an island a year ago. She said she would need some music to get motivation to survive, and in case her phone would run out of battery, she had my phone for back-up. I had been telling her that I had to delete the songs that she downloaded on my phone, since I was running out of space, but she said I had to have it in case we would get stranded on an island, and I am yet to wait for that day to happen. Which probably never will.
Lay where you're laying
Don't make a sound
I know they're watching
They're watching
I listened to the first few lines and thought that the song was catchy, so I just let it play until it was finished.
"Yooou your sex is on fiiiiireee!" Before I knew it, I was singing along with the music. I stood up and began to dance, well mostly jumping up and down while I threw my fist in the air, but it was still something. When I turned around and opened my eyes, I saw Bo standing there with a smirk on her face. I immediately took the earphones out of my ears, and threw it on the table.
"Uhh-umm-uhhh..." I stammered as I tried to find the words to say. My cheeks were burning. I took off my glasses and placed it on the table.
I could bang my head on the table right now.
Her smile got wider as she took off her leather jacket and tossed it on her bed. "You don't need to stop on my account."
"I- I was not- I was...ummm..." She raised her eyebrow as she waited for me to answer. "How long have you been standing there?"
"Long enough." She moved closer to where I was standing. When she stopped right in front of me, I could smell her shampoo which was lavender. The smell made me calm and relaxed. "I like the song that you were singing, what's the name?" She asked in a voice that sounded both innocent and flirty, I couldn't quite point out which one.
"Sex On Fire by Kings Of Leon." I replied.
"Cool, so you like that kind of music then? I though you liked instrumental and mellow, it's what it says on your profile."
"It's Kenzi who downloaded the song in my phone, what is written on my profile is right."
"Hmmm, okay then..." She turned around and walked towards the bathroom. I could hear her mumble something about me liking the song.
I sat back on my chair and checked the time. I had spent almost two hours doing school work, I decided it was enough for today. I took my laptop and phone with me as I sat on my bed. I was going through some fun articles on the web when my phone rang, and at the same time Bo walked out of the bathroom.
"Hello!" I said as I answered the phone.
"Hi honey! How are you doing? It's been a while since I last talked to you."
"Mom, you and dad send me a text everyday." I said in a low voice, not wanting Bo to hear it.
"But it's different hearing your voice...why are you whispering? Is there someone around who you don't want to be embarrassed to? A crush?" I could hear my dad asking what my mom meant about the crush, and then she gave a small laugh.
"Mom...Really?"
"Who is this crush, pumpkin?" My dad said. I assumed he took the phone away from mom, who was now complaining that she was not finished talking to me.
"No one, dad. Mom was just joking around." I glanced at Bo, who was now sitting on her bed with her laptop on her lap.
"Well, next time let me be the first one to know. It's not fair that it's always your mom who gets to know first."
"Will do, dad." I gave a small laugh. He was always so childish.
"How are you doing, pumpkin?" He asked.
"Good, I'm having a great time here."
"That is good to hear...Your mother wants the phone back, so take care, Lauren! Talk to you later!"
"Okay, take care too dad." I glanced back at Bo as I waited to hear my mom's voice again. She was now wearing some earplugs, it looked like she was looking at some video.
"Honey, I'm just wondering if there is something you want me to send to you?"
"Mmmmm, I can't think of anything at the moment, I'll send you a text when I come up with something?"
"Okay, just send me a message, hon."
"Will do. How are you guys doing? How's work?"
"We are doing fine, work is fine too, same old same."
I smiled. "Busy as always then."
"Yeah...So! It's your birthday in two weeks, have any plans?"
"No, not really. I'll probably spend the day with Kenzi."
"Okay, well we will be sending your gift a few days before your birthday to be sure it arrives there on time."
"Okay, thanks!"
We talked for a little while before I had to say goodbye, since I needed to start getting ready to go out. I closed my laptop and placed it and my phone on top of my study table. I walked over to my closet and began to look for an outfit to wear.
I have nothing nice to wear...
"Fashion problems?" I nearly jumped when I suddenly heard Bo's voice.
"Yeah... not really sure what to wear." It has been easier to talk to Bo this past couple of days. I thought it was nice, we weren't close enough to talk about personal stuff, but we were close enough to help each other out, and make small conversations.
"Going out?" She asked as she took the earplugs out of her ears.
"Yeah, Kenzi wants me to go to the Dal with her." I replied with a smile.
"Is it only you and Kenzi going? Is Hale going to be with you?" She asked.
"It's just me and Kenzi, Hale is busy with something." I replied.
"Then I'll come with" She jumped out of the bed, and walked towards her closet.
"Ummm, okay, that would be fun." I smiled. It seemed like she only wanted to come with us when she knew that Hale wasn't coming. I wasn't sure if she really wanted to join us, or if she only wanted to watch over us.
"It can be dangerous out there at night." She added.
So she is going with us to watch over us. Well...that seems nice, but it would be a lot nicer if she wanted to go out because she wanted to hang out with us. But I appreciate how she cares for our safety. But now I feel like she didn't have any other choice than to come with us.
"I don't want to bother you, Bo...if you are planning on doing something else, I can just tell Kenzi that we could go out anoth-"
"Lauren, it's okay." She smiled. "I don't have any plans. Besides, it's Friday, it would be nice to go out."
When I walked out of the bathroom, Bo was already dressed and ready to go. She was wearing her usual black leather jacket, and under it was a black top.
"Kenzi won't be here before eight, so we still have some time to relax." I said as I walked over to my bed and took a seat.
"Oh, okay." Bo said, then she sat back on her bed.
I looked around the room and checked my phone a couple of times as silence filled the room.
I should say something to break the silence...
"Have you been to the Dal before?" Bo broke the silence.
"No." I glanced up at her as I replied, then looked directly back down at the floor.
"It's a nice place, you'll like it there." She added.
"So I've heard." I replied with a smile.
"So, uhh, how's your chemistry project going?" She asked.
"It's going well, still have some work to do but I think we will be finished before the day that it is due. What about yours?"
"Haven't started yet." She shook her head. I've noticed that Bo barely liked any of the subjects that she had, which made me wonder why she had taken them in the first place. I wanted to ask her, but maybe it was too personal, so I just tried to prolong our conversation without asking the question.
"Well I guess you have enough time, depends on what you guys are making. If you need some help, just tell me and I'll see what I can do."
"Me and Dyson haven't really discussed what we are making." She shrugged, it didn't look like she wanted to continue this conversation. I checked the time on my phone, and we still had a couple of minutes left. I ran my fingers through my hair as I thought of something to talk about with Bo.
"Are you guys allowed to go out of Fae High? Like, when do you see your family and friends outside of school?" I asked.
"We are allowed, but we barely do...We usually go home during vacations, or if there is something important we need to do back home." She replied.
"I've noticed that there's barely anyone who goes home, but I guess I understand why they liked living on their own..."
"Most parents are living in the human world, they are quite busy trying out their abilities, feeding on people, mating, exploring the other world etc... So there is no point for most of us to live so far away from school, only to live alone."
"I see..." I gave a small nod before I looked back down at the floor.
"Lauren..." After a minute of silence, Bo spoke again.
"Hm?" I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear before I looked up at her. She looked a bit nervous, hesitant of what she was about to say.
"I was wond-" She paused and ran her fingers through her hair. "I just want to let you know that Evony would do anything to get good grades, so just...um...watch out or something."
"Oh, um..okay..." I could tell that she wanted to say something else, but ended up changing the subject.
The door opened widely, and Kenzi walked in with a big smile on her face. "You chicas ready to partayyyyy!"
I smiled and shook my head. "Calm down, the night has not started yet." I said as I walked towards her.
"Where is your energy hotpants!" Kenzi said.
"Hotpants?" Bo asked as she stood beside Kenzi.
"Oh, it's a nickna-"
"Shall we go!?" I quickly said before Kenzi explained the nickname to Bo.
"Yes! That's the spirit!" Kenzi placed both of her hands on each side of my face, slightly pressing them together, which made me look like a fish. "We are going to have so much fun!" She said before she walked out of the door.
I shook my head and looked at Bo, who was smiling at Kenzi. "Just wait until she consumes some alcohol." I said.
The Dal was a bit crowded. I recognized some of the students, most of them were fae. The place seemed to have a great energy, lots of people were dancing and the others were talking and drinking. Bo seemed popular in this place, there were a lot of people who gave her a nod or a 'hey', some of them even asked who I and Kenzi was.
We walked over to the bar, and the bartender greeted us with a smile.
"How can I help you?" He said.
"I'll take two shots of tequila." Kenzi replied.
"Are you old enough for that?" The bartender raised his eyebrow. "I know that in the human world there are rules for this."
"Well..." Kenzi began. "We are almost eighteen." She said in the sweetest voice, she almost sounded like a little kid.
The bartender laughed a little and shook his head. "I can serve you something that has less alcohol in it."
"Cool!" Kenzi said with a big smile on her face.
The bartender nodded and smiled. "How about you, Bo the regular?"
"Yepp! Thanks, Trick." Bo replied with a smile. The bartender began to prepare our drinks, and a few moments later he handed it to us.
"Here ya go!" Kenzi said as she handed me one of the tequilas and a slice of lime.
"You could have ordered something that isn't so strong, especially when we are not old enough to drink..." I said looking down at the drink.
"Just one shot, Lauren you'll be eighteen in two weeks, you have to try breaking the rules once in your life" She said. Kenzi had started to drink while she was at a young age, it was when she was living on the streets. She never had alcohol problems though, she knew how to control herself. She usually drinks when she goes out, and I usually remind her not to drink too much. "So do you want it?" She asked again. "I won't force you to drink it, I have no problem taking two shots." She smiled.
"I guess I can take one." I replied. I didn't want her to get too drunk, and I needed something to loosen me up a bit.
Even though I have never taken a shot of tequila before, I had seen people taking shots enough times, to know how it was done. I licked the skin between my thumb and index finger before I shook a little bit of salt on my skin, which should stick to the moisture. With a small glass of tequila in one hand and a lime wedge in the other, I licked the salt on my hand and shot the tequila. I closed my eyes as I tried to get the tequila down in one gulp, it was a shot after all. I quickly sucked on the lime wedge after shooting the tequila. The acidity of the lime won't taste as sharp after the alcohol. I involuntary slammed the glass on the table, as the tequila burned it's way down my throat. I have read in a book that the salt was believed to lessen the 'burn' of the tequila, and the sour fruit balances and enhances the flavor.
I shrugged before I opened my eyes. Kenzi was looking at me with a smile on her face, and Bo seemed amused.
"Feels good?" Kenzi asked.
"It burned a bit." I said as I rubbed my throat.
Both Bo and Kenzi gave a small laugh. "Want another one?" Kenzi asked teasingly.
"Not really..." I mumbled, then they both laughed.
One shot of tequila was enough for the whole night, especially when I wasn't planning on getting drunk. Though the alcohol made me feel relaxed.
I was sitting right across Bo, on a small table that was on the left side of the dance floor. Kenzi was dancing with Hale, he has changed his plans so he could join us tonight. It seemed like he had a crush on Kenzi.
I smiled as I watched both of them doing the robot dance, it looked like Kenzi was teaching Hale some moves, though he was not picking it up so well.
"Wha r ey oing?" I could hear Bo's voice, but I didn't quite hear the words that came out of her mouth.
"What!?" I said in a voice that was loud enough for her to hear, the music was a bit loud in the place.
"I said, what are they doing!?" She said in a much louder voice, before she drank her fourth shot.
"Oh! It's called the robot dance, Kenzi's favorite moves." I replied.
Bo nodded. "You have weird dance moves back in your world" She laughed.
"Only some." I laughed along with her, then I turned my attention back to Hale and Kenzi, who were now pumping their fists in the air.
"Do you want to dance?" I jumped as I heard Bo's voice on my left ear. I turned my face to my left and saw that Bo was only inches away from me.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you, I didn't want to shout again." She said before she stood up straight.
"It's okay." I replied.
"So, do you want to dance?" She asked again.
"No thanks, I don't really...dance." I replied.
"Come on, everybody knows how to dance. I'll teach you how, though it won't be the robot thingi." She laughed.
I smiled. "Okay, just one song." I said and stood up from my seat.
"Just one." She smiled. "You might want to take your jacket off, it could get warm afterward." It was when I noticed that she wasn't wearing her jacket anymore. She was wearing a black sleeveless top, that hugged her body. I nodded then I took off my jacket, and hanged it on the chair. "Ready?" She asked, and I nodded. She took my hand and pulled me into the dance floor.
The previous song finished playing at the exact moment we reached the dance floor.
"Alright guys! Next song is S&M by Rihannaaaaaaa" The DJ announced to the crowd. Then the song started to play.
Na na na na na
Come on
Na na na na na
Come on
The song was pretty catchy. But I didn't know hot to dance to it. I looked at Bo as she began to move slowly with the beat. Starting from her upper body and then down. She smiled at me when she saw me looking at her.
"Just feel the rhythm of the music." She said as she moved closer to me.
Na na na
Come on, come on, come on
Na na na na na
I nodded, then I awkwardly began to move my body, well...my head, I swayed it from left to right.
This is not going so well...
"There you go, just sway through the rhythm." Bo said encouragingly. Though I'm pretty sure she might think that I looked like an idiot.
"I don't think this is working so well.." I said as I began to snap my fingers.
Feels so good being bad (Oh oh oh oh oh)
There's no way I'm turning back (Oh oh oh oh oh)
Now the pain is my pleasure 'cause nothing
could measure (Oh oh oh oh oh)
"You are doing well, now try to sway your hips from left to right, try doing it while you move your head." She said.
I tried to do what she said, but the embarrassment and the lack of ability to dance didn't make it any easier for me. Bo might have noticed my struggle since she moved closer to me, and placed both of her hands on each side of my hips. This made me gasp a little.
"May I?" She asked.
Love is great, love is fine (Oh oh oh oh oh)
Out the box, outta line (Oh oh oh oh )
The affliction of the feeling leaves me wanting
more (Oh oh oh oh )
I hesitated for a moment, but then I gave her permission at the end. She gave a small smile before she moved even closer to me. We were inches apart now. She placed more pressure on my hips as she began to direct it, swaying it from left to right.
"Just go with the music." She said, as she focused on teaching me. Maybe I would have learned this move right now if I wasn't too busy looking at her, and over thinking the feeling of her hands on my hips. "You're a fast learner." Bo said as she moved her hands away from my hips.
I looked down on my own body and saw that I was swaying my hips on my own. I looked up at her and smiled. "I've got a great teacher."
She grinned at my comment. "Now, the chorus is coming. All you have to do is get lost in the music!"
'Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whip excite me.
I tried to dance through the rhythm of the music, but Bo was making it hard for me to focus on my dancing. She was lost in the music, she had her eyes closed as she swayed her hips, running her fingers through her hair, pulling it up. And I was sure that she was the most beautiful and sexy person in the room.
My view changed when a boy suddenly stood in front of me and danced.
"Hi" He said with a smile.
"Umm, hi." I replied.
"I haven't seen you around here before, you new?"
"I am, I'm a part of the F&H project."
"Ahhh, a human." He said with a smile. "You here with someone?"
"Well... I-"
"She's here with me." Bo cut off our conversation.
"Oh, well it's nice meeting you." The guy gave me a wink before he walked away, and I saw Bo glaring at him.
"You okay?" Bo asked.
"Yeah" I replied. I've noticed that when someone wanted to get close to me, or get to know me, Bo usually drags them away from me... It made me wonder why, though at this moment, I could see a hint of jealousy.
S-S-S & M-M-M
S-S-S & M-M-M
"How's the dancing going?" She asked with a smile. I could see that she was trying to gain her balance, she began to get a bit tipsy.
"Okay, I guess." I said, and I was sure that I was blushing a bit, good thing that the room was a bit dark.
"Want to dance together?" She asked, biting her lip.
I wasn't sure what she meant, I thought we were already dancing together. "Ummm, okay" I replied.
She smiled, then she moved closer to me again. She took my hands and placed it around her waist, then she placed her hands around my neck. Slowly, she began to sway her hips, and I began to sway mine.
Oh, I love the feeling you bring to me, oh, you
turn me on
It's exactly what I've been yearning for, give it to
me strong
And meet me in my boudoir, make my body say
ah ah ah
I like it-like it
She moved her hands away from my neck and turned around, and I immediately removed my own hands in response. She took a step back towards me, so that her back touched my body. Then she began to grind up and down my body.
Dance through the rhythm...dance through the rhythm... Why is it so warm in here!?
Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me
She turned around and placed her hands back on my neck. Her face was a bit red, so it wasn't just me who thought it was warm in here. Or maybe it was because of all the dancing that she was doing.
"You want to try doing that?" She asked with a smile on her face.
"I think I'm good." I replied, then she gave a small laugh and nodded.
I wouldn't mind you doing it though.
"Well you are a great dancer." She said.
"You're just saying that."
"I mean it. You learn fast." She smiled. "And by the way...I get it now" She smirked.
"Get what?" I asked, confused.
"Why you are called hotpants." She grinned.
"You're drunk." I said, and we both laughed.
S-S-S & M-M-M
S-S-S- & M-M-M
S-S-S & M-M-M
S-S-S & M-M-M
Then the song was done.
Bo got me to dance to one more song, and managed to teach me more moves before we headed back to our seats.
Two and a half hours later, we were back in our rooms. I was exhausted, and so was Bo. When we reached to our room, we just changed and went to sleep.
