Chapter 11

LAUREN

I instantly felt the stiffness in my body the moment my eyes opened. It was dark in the room and it took a moment for my eyes to adjust. It was early in the morning, I searched for the clock and saw that it was 315 am. What time did I fall asleep? I don't even remember how I got to bed, or I guess I should say how we got to bed, I felt Bo under me holding me tight. I smiled as I snuggled even closer to her. Memories from last night flooded into my mind taking the smile away from my face. Jenny was here, in my room. Bo had seen her. I tightened my grip on Bo's shirt not wanting her to move from my arms. She stirred slightly and when I looked up her eyes were on me. She looked down at my hand gripping her shirt and moved her own hand and replaced her shirt with it. Her fingers in-between mine returned the smile to my face. She looked at me with a kindness I had never seen from anyone before. In this moment I knew that Bo was a protector and a caretaker.

"What time is it?" Her voice was groggy when she asked me

"Almost 3:20… Bo, I-" She placed a kiss on my lips stopping me from continuing. The kiss told me I didn't need to apologize. I let myself melt into her as I shifted my body up so we were eye to eye, in this case mouth to mouth. I forced myself to pull away from her soft and addictive lips. I smiled at her and absentmindedly played with her hair.

"Lauren what was that about?" She finally questioned. I looked away from her instantly embarrassed. I tried to move my body away from her but she just held me tighter. I tried again to push myself up but she stopped me. She assertively lifted my chin so I was forced to look in her eyes. They were filled with confusion and worry. Even in the darkness I could see her clearly. She was worried about me, and I couldn't blame her. In all my life I had never broken down in front of someone like I had broken down in front Bo last night. I was ashamed. I was supposed to be Special Agent Lauren Lewis who served 3 tours in Iraq and was one of the best FBI agents in the state. But last night I saw one woman and I snapped and ended up crying in the arms of my CI/ person I had almost slept with and wanted to sleep with but was afraid to spend more time with because of some pretty insane baggage I carried.

"I'm sorry you saw me like that, I can usually withstand a lot more. The woman you saw; Jenny. She and I have a history, a complicated one. Thank you for comforting me and letting me ruin your shirt… But Bo, I don't want to say anything else about it okay?" I could see the gears in her head spinning, trying to make sense of what she saw.

"That was the person who was calling you right? You've been avoiding Jenny this whole time?" I sighed, I was still exhausted from all the yelling and crying

"Yeah you caught me." She stared at me and we didn't speak for a while. Bo had this ability to say a million things without actually saying anything.

"I really don't want to talk about Bo. Maybe sometime in the future but I can't tell you."

"You could tell me Lauren, if you really wanted to you could tell me anything." I knew she was right but this wasn't just anyone, this was Bo. I was terrified to tell her.

"I'm not ready. It's hard to say it out loud." I looked down bashfully and could almost hear the light bulb turn on above Bo's head.

"Then write it, like a letter. Hear me out okay?" I nodded

"I know how hard it is to talk about things, especially things that mean a lot and cut deep. So write it down, that way you don't have to say it out loud." It wasn't a terrible idea

"I don't know Bo… Saying out loud, writing it down on paper, it's all the same to me."

"Well it's just a suggestion."

"Thank you for that, I will think about it."

"Promise?" I felt the corners of my mouth turn up at the adorable look Bo was giving me.

"I promise." I placed a gentle kiss on her lips and soon one kiss became kisses. Her hands were grazing the skin of my lower back sending chills through my body. I licked her bottom lip and drew a moan out of the brunette underneath me.

"What's wrong?" I questioned when she removed her mouth from mine

"Lauren, I uh.. I don't want you to think that I did this just to uhh, get in your pants." I laughed at the way she was blushing and how innocent she could be

"I didn't think that's what you were doing, and the only way you'll ever get in my pants is if I let you." She smirked and I saw my words had done their job.

"Be careful Agent Lewis, I might just accept your challenge." I let my lips graze hers as I slid my hand down her body to rest at her hip. A low growl came from the woman below me

"What's the matter, don't think you'll win?" I egged her on seeing how far I could push her until she broke. In a matter of seconds she had switched our positions her body now on top of mine pressing her hips into mine. She pecked my cheek and then moved her lips to my ear.

"No that's not it, in fact I know I'll win." My body shuddered at her breath on my neck

"Then what's stopping you?" She placed a few gentle kisses on my neck and then tugged away. I frowned at the distance she had created again

"I don't want to rush anything… I wanna wait until it feels right, I know that's stupi-" I interrupted her with a kiss

"It's not stupid, its sweet Bo. I think we should wait until we get that feeling." She was looking at me with and incredible honesty that I was sure turned my cheeks a nice shade of red.

"I like that idea." I lifted my hand to her face and cupped her cheek, I ran my thumb over her visible dimple.

"You're not what you seem." She scrunched her eyebrows together in confusion

"How so?"

"I just never thought that Bo Dennis could be this sweet and genuine and sexy." She grinned like a kid at my words

"Aww shucks Doctor I like you too." I felt like a teenager again confessing that I had a crush on my lab partner, I had butterflies in my stomach and everything.

"I wanna thank you again for letting me lean on you, Jenny is hard for me to deal with and having you here… It means something to me." She rolled her eyes

"You really don't need to thank me or anything, it was my honor." The look in her eyes told me that that was the last time I would be allowed to thank her.

We stayed up for a while talking about favorite flavors of ice cream, our shared addiction to coffee, favorite movies… We talked until we drifted off to sleep again.

This time when I woke Bo was in my arms and I was holding her. If we kept sleeping in the same bed I knew I wouldn't be able to fall asleep unless she was in my arms. I took the opportunity to check my cell and read my emails. I had one from my boss asking for Bo's first progress report which I quickly typed up and sent to one of the interns to print out and deliver. I had a few from Dyson about the case and one from another agent asking for some help. I email the other Agent saying that I would take a look at it this morning. Dyson had actually made a break in the case last night just like Bo had said but it wasn't urgent enough that we had to go in. I checked my personal email and found something of interest. I read carefully through it with Bo resting on my stomach in a deep sleep. About an hour passed before Bo slowly woke and I felt her smile

"What are you grinning about?" I asked as I ran my fingers through her hair

"I just like waking up with you."

"So do I."

BO

Lying with Lauren as she ran her fingers through my hair soothed me. Everything about her made me feel warm on the inside and made me want to fill a note book with her name next to mine and draw a heart around it. I felt silly for thinking such things but it was something I couldn't escape, I was too far in it. Lauren had unintentionally mesmerized me in less than a week time. I was worried about the fact that maybe I was falling too hard and too fast. There was still so much I didn't know about her, and that she didn't know about me. I was a criminal for crying out loud and she was the one who spent the last half dozen years catching me.

This shouldn't work based on that singular fact.

On top of that there was now Jenny, what was her history with Lauren? I wanted to be respectful of Lauren and not pry but I was insatiably curious and wanted answers. If this is how I was feeling after hours of seeing Jenny then how will I act in a few weeks, months? My mind was missing the rush of pulling a con, it was my addiction. I hadn't even pick-pocketed anyone since I got out and that's impressive for me. But the quiet hunger was slowly becoming louder as the days passed. I needed to focus on something that kept my gears turning and working on cases with the FBI wasn't going to cut it.

I let my mind run in circles while I lay on Lauren and listened to her breathing. She took even breaths that soothed me as she continued to play with my hair. I ran my fingers in circular patterns over her exposed hip bone.

"Oh I forgot to tell you that Dyson really did have new information about the case, he called me when he couldn't get a hold of you last night. That's why I came over here in the first place to tell you to check your phone." I felt Laurens hand rest on top of my head

"I know, I checked my email and saw it. He found Roger's campaign manager and he's allowing the FBI to question him. I believe he and Tamsin are going to get started on that today."

"That's good. Can I ask you something?" I had remembered something I had wanted to ask about for a few days

"You can, as long as it's not a smart ass question." She chuckled amused with herself.

"Very funny Lauren… It's about Tamsin, the other day she talked about the metal cots in FCI. I thought that only inmates and guards saw those." I felt her body tense slightly at my words and then relax when she exhaled

"Something about Tamsin that you should know is that she, like you isn't what she seems. But I can't answer your question; it's not my story to tell." I moved myself up on my elbows to look at Lauren

"She was in prison?!" She shook her head at me

"I didn't say that Bo, it's not fair to Tamsin for me to tell you about her life. If you really want to know then you should ask her yourself." I sighed in disagreement but accepted the defeat.

"Fine, I'll ask her myself." She smiled and kissed my lips. When Lauren kissed me I couldn't help but smile at the connection. She ran her thumb over my dimple and grinned at me

"I love this dimple, it looks adorable on you." She smirked at me and replaced her thumb with her lips sending a shiver down my back.

"I'm glad you like it because it's pretty much there forever." She rolled her eyes at me and picked up her cell phone

"What is it?" I said

"It's just that we need to get to the office, I have a lot of work to do." I slumped back down onto her stomach wrapping my arms around her body

"I don't wanna, can't you like work from home or something?" She laughed at my childish behavior

"I can do that, but you're forgetting something."

"What's that?" I mumbled into her toned belly

"You made a deal to be there every day, so I could work from here but you would have to go in either way." I released my hold on her and rolled onto my back. I felt awkward, she had issued an unfriendly reminded of the tracking device wrapped around my ankle. She sense my awkwardness

"I didn't mean to bring it up like that… I know it must be awful for you to be trapped like this." I stared at her ceiling trying not to get angry

"Bo, this thing with us… Whatever it is, its, well you know… I'm sorry I didn't mean to." I could tell that she was holding back her thoughts but I let it slip due to the fact that I just wanted to be done with this conversation.

"It's fine, it's not your fault. Plus you're right… I'm gunna go get changed." I lifted my tired body out of her bed and retreated to my room.

About 40 minutes later we were at the office and once again Lauren hastily locked herself in her office leaving me to wander around. We didn't stop for coffee and my body was craving the warm liquid. I walked to the small kitchen and frowned at the poor excuse of a coffee maker. An hour later I saw Tamsin walk onto the floor with a tray of coffee that was balanced on top of a huge stack of papers and a thick black binder. I watched amused at her balancing act as her phone started to ring in her pocket. I ultimately decided to go help her. I walked up with a smile taking the coffee's and papers off her hands and set them on her desk as she thanked me and answered her phone

"Hey D-man, what's up?" She picked up a coffee and handed it to me.

"You're a wonderful person." I said to her holding the cup in both of my hands and taking the first sip. She smiled knowingly at me and continued to talk to Dyson for a few more minutes. She hung up and smiled at me while she picked up her own cup of caffeine.

"Lauren texted me and told me she was running late this morning so I thought we would all be in need of God's gift." She winked at me as she picked the tray up and left one on Dyson's desk. She went to Hale's desk and handed him the cup which he inattentively took. He seemed to be captivated by whatever he was doing on his two computer screens. She knocked on Lauren's door once and then let herself in shutting it behind her.

After about 20 minutes I realized that they weren't just exchanging pleasantries in there I got curious and very bored, which was a dangerous combo for me. I walked up to the door as casually as I could and pressed my ear to the door. I frowned when I realized the door must be 5 inches thick because I couldn't hear a thing. I leaned my back against the door and thought about the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and how much I missed it. I had apparently zoned out for a while. I suddenly felt my body fall backwards as the door was opened. I ungracefully tripped over my own feet and fell to the floor. I felt the humiliation all over my face as the room suddenly felt very warm. I looked up at two blonde women staring down at me. One was laughing hysterically and the other slightly annoyed but still entertained by my foolishness.

"Tamsin get working on what we spoke about. I apparently have to have a little chit-chat with Ms. Dennis about eavesdropping." Tamsin helped me up and issued a good luck before closing the door behind her. I grinned at Lauren who now sat at her desk sneering at me.

"So how much trouble am I in?" She motioned to the chair in front of her desk and I sat down.

"Bo Dennis you are bored." She was sipping the coffee that Tamsin had brought her

"No, I'm not. I just didn't know what to do, I was going to ask Hale but I'm pretty sure he still hates me." She shook her head

"You're bored Bo, I can see it in your eyes remember?"

"I forgot about you stupid super power." She laughed and handed me a sheet of paper that had some woman's face on it. Above the awful ID picture was a name in bold letters

Agent Mary Reeves

Age: 38

Head of security for the annual Governors Ball held at the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center in Boston. This is Agent Reeves' third time as head of security for the event, etc...

I looked up at Lauren confused

"Why did you hand me this? I thought you were head of the white collar division what does this have to do with that?"

"It doesn't have anything to do with me. But Agent Reeves is an old friend who has asked for your help with the event this year."

"Well I have no clue how I'm going help Mary here."

"The center has had a few break ins and few threats have been thrown their way over the past 4 months. Agent Reeves thought you might be able to help with the break in part. I think you would have a lot of fun."

"Why would I have fun with that?"

"She wants you to find a way to break into the building and test out the security over there. She would have you test her team at the Senate dinner next week." I understood what she was saying but didn't believe her

"So you want me to break into one of the nicest convention centers in town while there is a fancy senate dinner going on, and it would be completely legal?" She laughed at me

"That is exactly what I'm saying… Are you interested?"

"Are you shitting me? Of course I am, I have been so damn bored, and research is totally not my thing."

"Alright don't be too excited to get away from me, you'll be surrounded by files as soon as you finish up."

"I'm not excited to get away from you, I didn't mean it like that. I just meant I'm excited to be doing something I'm good at." She got up from her desk and handed me a small manila folder as she leaned against the front of the mahogany structure.

"Mhmm… Here read up on that in the next few days, do some research on the building or whatever you need to do. Your radius will now include the Back Bay area surrounding the Center and a block around it. Do not forget that you are still my responsibility, so if you screw up and go outside of the set radius there's not much I can do to keep you out of trouble."

"Lauren don't worry about me, I'll be fine." I grinned at her barely able to contain my excitement

"Oh, I'm not worried about you." I stood up with a suspicious look on my face. We were about a foot away from each other and I couldn't help myself from invading her personal space. She looked at me with a stern look telling me that she didn't approve of what I was doing, and yet I couldn't stop myself

"Lauren, you're worried about me getting into trouble. I can see it in your eyes." I smirked at her placing my hands on her hips and scrunching her perfectly tucked in shirt in my hands.

"Hey, don't steal my super power… Maybe I'm just making sure I cover my ass by keeping you in line." I felt the smile grow even wider at her words

"Lauren Lewis you cannot say things like that to me with your shirt unbuttoned an extra button, standing so close to me." I slowly moved towards her, her lips my only target. She didn't shove me away so I closed the gap and pressed our lips together. She placed her hands on my shoulders and moved them up to my neck and dragged me closer to her. I immersed myself in Lauren, greedily capturing her in my arms and not letting go. She moved her lips to my neck peppering me with kisses, occasionally biting at my most sensitive spots. I forced her lips back to mine and we continued to hungrily make-out. I pulled away when I thought I would pass out from lack of oxygen.

"Is something wrong Bo?" She was sitting on her desk and I was standing in between her legs. I don't remember that happening.

"I feel a little faint." I said. She looked at me with concern holding my face in her hands and looked at me for any sign that something was wrong with me

"Tell me what's wrong Bo." She used her doctor voice

"I have this condition, it makes me week in the knees, my heart feels like it's going to beat right out of my chest, and I get really warm." Her face got serious as she focused on me

"What's the condition called?" She asked

"There's no official name but its directly related to how much I make out with a super sexy blonde who is a FBI Agent and a Doctor." I grinned at my own cheesiness. She glared at me and tried to hide her smile

"You're mean. I thought something was actually wrong with you."

"See you do worry about me."

"Ahh, so this was a test? I guess I failed huh?" I looked at her seriously

"No, the exact opposite Lauren… I can't remember the last time somebody worried about me." She pulled me in for a hug and rested her chin on my shoulder

"How do you feel about me taking on that job?" I pulled away and smiled

"I would be more than okay with that." She drew me closer and kissed me again, this one more intimate than the last. I rested my hands on her thighs and for the millionth time lost myself in our kiss. I suddenly felt Lauren separate from me and shove me away from her.

"What the hell Lauren?" I said. She looked past me with wide eyes as she quickly leaped off the desk and fixed her hair. I turned around and saw the cause of her deer in the head lights look. Standing in the doorway was Tamsin and Jenny. Tamsin didn't look too surprised more amused at the situation. Jenny on the other hand looked beyond furious and seemed to be torn at lunging at me or successfully killing Lauren with just a look.

"Uh, sorry Lauren, I knocked but you.. Didn't hear me I guess." Tamsin said quietly

"Jenny, What are you doing here, this is my work." Lauren sounded like she did when she was interrogating me- agitated, pissed, and not at all amused at the situation. I was certainly glad not to be on the receiving end this time.

"I'm sorry.. Uh, excuse me… Lauren, uh sorry." I grabbed the file I had dropped on the chair and walked directly to the bathroom. I fixed my hair which had fallen out of its pony tail. I texted Kenzi and hurried out of the office.

~I finally figured out where the story is headed so please keep all hands, feet, and objects inside the ride at all times. It's about to get bumpy. I will do my best to deliver a lengthy chapter within the next 4- 5 days.~
