Chapter 10: What's Mine, Isn't Yours (3x08)
Lauren's Apartment
Bo was in the doghouse, actually she was in worse than that. She was in the deepest shit possible. Because she's let Lauren down big time, which was something that she didn't intend on doing. But what was she supposed to do?
Her Dawning was control her life at the moment, if she didn't complete every challenge then she wouldn't be prepared for the temple. And then she'd be as good as dead. She was in no mood to die right now.
She'd missed Lauren's Award Ceremony already, and she felt horrible for that. Because she really did want to be there. To see her Girlfriend accept her award and laugh at all of the losers. Also, she wanted everyone to see how proud she was of her. Because she was.
But she had to complete that challenge, which it turned out was the most important one because at the end of it she got her invitation for Dawning. And now that she had it, she was going to try and fix what was left of this night.
Bo rushed home, throwing the first dress on that she could find. Which was black, no surprise there. She changed her hair, letting it fall over her shoulders. Once that was done, she grabbed an arrangement of flowers on her way over to Lauren's place.
She got to the door, expecting to find Lauren passed out on the couch after how drunk she sounded earlier. But as she went to knock on the door, it opened and Lauren was standing there with a man.
A man that she'd never seen before.
"Hi" Bo was lost for words, was she actually seeing her Girlfriend getting ready to leave with another man? A man that was strangely handsome, but Bo wasn't getting a good vibe from her.
Lauren didn't know what to say, she honestly thought that if Bo hadn't shown up an hour ago then she wasn't going to show up at all. "Bo, so nice of you to come by…" She said. "… Finally" she had to get that in.
"Lauren, I'm sorry I'm late. Look, I brought you these…" Bo smiled, handing her the flowers. "… Daisies, you're favourite. Can you at least hear me out, maybe your friend wouldn't mind waiting" she looked at the man, giving him a scowl.
"Fine…" Lauren turned to her friend. "… Isaac? Could you give us a minute? It won't take long I promise" she smiled at him.
Isaac nodded, "Of course, please take your time" he turned around and walked into the living room. Taking a seat on the couch.
It was at that moment when Bo realise that she wasn't being invited into the apartment, because Lauren stepped into the hall and closed the door behind her. "So what? I don't even get to come in?" She asked.
"Bo, why're you here now? I mean, what's the point? It's late, the ceremony ended hours ago. I was just going out for a drink with a fellow scientist, you don't need to be here" Lauren wasn't in the mood, and Bo had really hurt her tonight.
Bo sighed, seeing the disappointment in her eyes. "Lauren, I'm so sorry. But I got roped into making a deal with a Spriggin, then I had to save a Squank, and then I was challenged to a duel! But I would've traded all of that, to be with you if I could've. You've gotta believe me!"
Lauren turned her head away with a laugh. "I do…" She looked back to her. "… That's my curse. I always believe you, and I'm not saying that you did this on purpose"
"But?" Bo spoke.
"But it always seems to happen when I need you for something, or when we're supposed to spend time together" Lauren couldn't help the way that she was feeling. And she was still a little drunk from earlier.
"What're you saying?" Bo didn't like where this was going.
Lauren took a breath, rubbing her eyes. "I'm not saying anything, I just think you should go home and we can come back to this in the morning. Thank you for the flowers, they're beautiful" she kissed her cheek, then reentered the apartment.
Bo was just left standing there, not knowing what she should do. She didn't want to go home, knowing that Lauren was upset with her. But she also knew that if she barged back into the apartment, that she'd end up making things worse.
So she was going to leave for now, but she the last place that she was going; was back Home.
Downtown Bar (Later)
Lauren was enjoying her time with Isaac, he was funny and he seemed to really be interested in her research. Which was a nice thing to hear. The only problem was, that she could tell that he liked her.
He really had the wrong girl.
Whenever he would try and flirt, she would cut him off by changing the subject but he kept coming back for more. Like a grovelling dog, she was about to tell him that she wanted to call it a night. When he told her that he needed to use the bathroom.
He left, leaving her sitting by herself. Lauren was checking her phone, she thought that maybe she would've had a message from Bo. But she had none, maybe she didn't care that much.
"Excuse me, Miss?" A waiter approached Lauren's table, getting her attention. "This is from the lady at the bar" he placed the glass of Chardonnay in front of her.
Lauren follows his eyes, seeing that Bo was standing by the bar. Holding up her own glass, smiling at her. Okay, that was a good one. Lauren certainly didn't expect this. She got up, taking the drink with her and walked over to the bar. "I should've known that you wouldn't listen to me" she chuckled.
Bo smiled. "What can I say? I didn't like the fact that my Girlfriend was going on a date with another guy. Who by the way, has the same haircut as Justin Bieber! Seriously, what do you see in him?" She couldn't help but laugh.
"It's not even like that, he came to give me my award and then he asked me to grab a drink. I mean, he's a bit flirty but other than that he's harmless" Lauren sipped the drink, she liked Chardonnay.
"Flirty? He was flirty with you? Oh hell no! Where is he?!" Bo stood from her stool, looking to where Lauren's table was. She couldn't see him there, but she was going to punch him in the face for making a move on her girl.
Lauren held her hands. "Stop it! Bo, why're you here?"
Bo calmed down, taking a breath. "I'm here for you Lauren…" She stepped closer to her. "… I'm sorry for missing your award, I wanted to be there so badly. I love your brain, I love the things that you cook up with it, and most importantly…" She kissed her. "… I love you"
And it was things like this, that made Lauren forget everything that made her angry in the first place. "I so wanna be mad at you right now…" She sighed, keeping her eyes closed. "… But it's hard" she chuckled.
"I really am sorry Lauren" Bo whispered, resting her forehead on her Girlfriend's. Nothing could really make up for the fact that she'd missed something this important. But Bo was going to make sure that she tried her hardest everyday.
Lauren smiled, "It's okay…" She pulled back to look into her eyes. "… Actually, it's not. But, I can get over it. I just really needed you tonight, I haven't had this kind of opportunity in so long. Not since before I found out about the Fae, I just wanted to have fun and spend time with you" she said.
"I get it babe, and again I'm so sorry. I wanted to be there, cheering you on as all the other farts watched you except the award that they lost. I am so proud of you, of everything that you do. You know, it's not too late to celebrate" Bo revealed her smirk.
"Uh, actually it is. I've hit my alcohol limit for the month, I don't really want to drink anything else tonight. To be honest, I just wanna sleep" Lauren yawned, she was exhausted.
Bo wrapped her arms around Lauren's waist. "That can be arranged too. Tell you what, how about we grab some greasy takeout, and then I take you home and you can tell me all about the speech that you planned to give" she kissed her again, smiling into it.
This was a hard offer for Lauren to turn down, because it sounded pretty amazing. "Alright, if you're sure you really wanna hear it?" She didn't think that it was a good speech, she was never good at those kind of things.
"Yes, I really wanna hear it. So, shall we go?" Bo asked.
Lauren nodded. "Okay, I should let Isaac know first" she looked back to her table, where she saw Isaac wondering where she'd walked off to.
Bo shook her head. "No, you go wait in the car…" She took her car keys out of her purse, then handed them to her. "… I'll let Bieber down easy" she smiled.
"Bo" Lauren laughed.
"What? Can't I give him a nickname?" Bo frowned. She was just trying to have some fun, and she couldn't help the joke either. His hair was a literal Bieber style. For gods sake, he was a grown ass man. "Fine, I'll be professional" she kissed her again, waiting for her to leave.
Once Lauren was gone, she walked over to the table. Isaac frowned at her, "Hi, you're Lauren's friend, right?"
Bo smiled, he knew exactly who she was. "I'm her Girlfriend, actually. Lauren's gonna be coming home with me, so she just wanted to let you know that she's had a great time but she's gonna have to call it a night"
"Oh, okay. Well, tell her I'll call her sometime. It'd be nice to do this again" he smiled.
That wasn't going to work for Bo, she moved closer to him and grabbed his hand. Using her powers to control him. "Actually, you won't be calling her again. She appreciated your company tonight, but you came off as bit of a creep" she said.
"I'm a creep" he repeated.
"I'm so glad that you see it too…" She chuckled. "… So, since we're on the same page now. What is it that you're not gonna do?" She asked him.
Isaac looked at her, already lost in her beauty. "I'm not going to call her again, because I came off as a bit of a creep" he repeated her words.
Bo nodded. "Exactly, oh by the way. You might wanna lose the Bieber Haircut, not even he has it anymore. Just a thought, thanks for keeping my girl company. But I think I can take it from here" she tapped his shoulder, then let go of his hand and walked out of the restraint.
No one, moved in on her girl.
No one.
