Wild About You 19
Part 1
Friends and family of the graduating seniors had gathered around inside the football stadium. The seniors had already made their way behind the make-shift curtain before they marched to their seats starting the graduation ceremony. Once behind the curtain, Lauren quickly bolted to find her girlfriend. She spotted her talking Tamsin. Lauren was happy to know that Tamsin and Bo's relationship was changing. In the beginning, it didn't look good. She assumed Tamsin realized how much Bo cared for her and dropped the attitude. With a smile, she walked up to the two excited about the evening.
Bo noticed her girlfriend's presence and immediately turned around, taking in her beauty. Lauren didn't have her cap on, so her hair fell perfectly in warm air that surrounded them. A little sweat had beaded on her nose which made Bo smile. "Hey Beautiful…"
Lauren blushed as Bo used the pet name. She still hadn't gotten use to it. "Hey babe."
After they acknowledged each other's presence, Bo went in for a hug and place a chaste kiss on her girlfriend's lips. They tasted like the strawberry lips gloss she was currently wearing. "You're late."
"Only like five minutes. We just got back from picking up my dad from the airport." Lauren mentioned with a small smirk.
Bo smiled at Lauren. She was glad that her girlfriend was taking everything so well. It had been months since Lauren had seen her father. "Everything okay?"
Lauren nodded and fiddled with her cap she still hadn't put on. "Yeah, it's just weird. I haven't really been around them together since the divorce happened. They seem to be getting along. My dad looks good. He actually looks happy."
Bo's hand reached out and palmed Lauren's shoulder before brushing her thumb across her cheek. "I'm just glad he could make it. Valedictorian is a huge thing."
A shrug appeared on Lauren. She was trying not to put to much emphasis on it. "Yeah, I'm afraid I'm going to say something stupid."
"Babe, you are not stupid. You are going to be great." Bo stated as she laughed it off. Lauren never gave herself any credit for her intelligence.
Before Lauren could reply, the teacher in charge had interrupted them. She started to make sure all the students were in the correct order. Bo winked at Lauren while Lauren modeled off the cap she had just placed on her head. Bo grinned and quickly made her way to her designated spot and Lauren moved to the back. She would come in last since she would sit in the front of the class. It took a minute or two to get everyone in order and everyone chatted to a person next to them. Once the teachers were satisfied, a silence fell over the students as they waited for their que to start. The graduation march echoed out over the stadium and the students started marching in from behind the curtain.
The ceremony didn't last long once they were seated. They did the national anthem and pledge. The powers that be said a few words of wisdom then the salutatorian and valedictorian read their speeches and then everyone walked across stage to receive their diplomas. After that, everyone in attendance sung the school alma mater. It's really something that never changes. It was just part of going through the motions. Once the Alma Mater had ended, the principal declared the seniors as high school graduates and alumni of their school. They all stood up and through their caps high in the air, signaling and end of an era.
Once she found her cap, Bo quickly found Lauren. She couldn't wait to give her a hug and congratulate her on the speech. Bo thought she did an amazing job and couldn't wait to show her how amazing she truly was after this was all over. It had been a long few weeks, both engrossed in finals. The couple hadn't been able to spend that much alone time together. Now, they had two days before Lauren was supposed to leave and Bo planned on spending every moment she could with her love. Bo looked over the crowd as two arms wrapped around her from behind.
"I can't wait til tonight." Lauren whispered in Bo's ear as she pulled Bo into her body.
Bo smiled. "It is tonight."
Lauren rolled her eyes at Bo's sarcasm. "Later tonight…"
Bo spun around so she could pull Lauren closer, letting her lips almost touch Lauren's ear. "Ms. Lewis, you better be ready because two months is way to long. I'm dying here."
A shiver passed through Lauren's body from Bo's nearness. She loved the teasing. "Yeah? Well, let's get this over with Ms. Dennis."
"Gladly…" Bo let out hoarsely as the locked eyes knowing what was going to happen when they finally got alone.
"Get a room!" Tamsin interjected as she caught up with her friends.
The couple blushed slightly as they pulled apart, Lauren leaning in to hug her friend. Bo couldn't help but let know Tamsin know what was going on so she leaned in so only Tamsin and Lauren could hear. "Don't worry, Tam. You won't be able to hear us this time."
Bo and Lauren started laughing when they saw the look on Tamsin's face. It was a look of pure disgust. Tamsin didn't want or need to know any information about the couple's sex life. "Thank you for that. I do not need a repeat of spring break."
The three of them continued talking as Hale and Kenzi finally showed their face along with Bo's mother and Lauren's parents. All of them had bright smiles which parents should have when their child accomplished something. Aife was the first to speak aloud. "Can I get a picture of all of you?"
The teenagers agreed and huddled together with bright smiles on their faces. The first take was normal with all them smiling. The next take ended up being goofy as Bo gave Kenzi bunny ears as Kenzi placed a peck on Hale's cheek. Lauren had one around Bo's waist and the other one around Tamsin, both making weird 'scrunchy' faces at the camera. It would be one they all laughed at twenty years down the road.
"I'm going to miss you guys. I hate you all for leaving me!" Kenzi exclaimed with sadness in her voice.
Hale smiled at his girlfriend. They had become extremely close the last two months. "Don't worry, Lil Mama. Were not going to be that far away."
"I'm not going anywhere for at least two years. Parents are making me go to JUCO. It sucks so bad. Their trying to save money or something like that." Tamsin explained to her friends.
Bo smiled at her friends glad that her best friend wouldn't be totally alone next year. She had to make sure that Kenzi was taking care of. The brunette felt it was her job to take care of Kenzi, ever since the beginning. Kenzi was her best friend, long lost baby sister and the person she needed the most in her life. The moment she saw the raven-haired girl, Bo had been drawn to her. They had been inseparable ever since that day. "Hey Kenz, will you take a picture with me? I need a new one for New York."
Kenzi winked at Bo and walked over to her. "I'm so proud of you Bo."
The two friends hugged tightly, both of their eyes closing on impact. It was one of those moments they would always remember. Bo couldn't let go until she told Kenzi how she felt. "I love you, Kenz."
"I love you too, Bobo." Kenzi whispered into her friends' ear. She quickly felt a tear escape the corner of her eye, not realizing the sentiment of the moment until now. Bo meant everything to her and she didn't know what she was going to do when she moved to New York. Kenzi tightened her grip for a second before backing away, making sure to take in everything.
The brunette saw the tears as she backed away. She teared up herself. They laughed at how mushy they were being as they pulled away from each other. Bo handed her mother her phone and wrapped her arm around Kenzi's neck, pulling her close, and both smiling brightly for the photograph.
Lauren had watched the whole scene unfold. Believe it or not, a few tears had brimmed in the corner of her eyes. Bo had told her the whole situation with Kenzi one night as they laid in bed together. Bo had cried, and it was a great moment for them as a couple. Bo don't let her feelings show too often, but it's beautiful when she does. Her girlfriend has the biggest heart and was so loving and caring that none of it seemed real. The fact that she had someone who loved her like Bo did. It changed her life.
"I want a picture of Lauren and Bo." Donna stated ushering Lauren and Bo next to each other. There was no denying that Donna Lewis was pro Lauren and Bo. She would do anything to make sure their relationship worked. The older blonde loved Bo as her own and cherished the way she cared about her daughter.
Lauren wasn't going to say 'no,' any chance she could be close to Bo she would take it. They did a cute pose while all their parents and friends took a couple photos. Once everyone was finished, the couple smiled at each other before turning toward their parents. All of three them seemed happy and ushered for the girls to join them. Bo grabbed Lauren's hand and they walked closer to them.
"We are so proud of you both." Donna stated and leaned in to give both of them a hug.
Aife smiled. "We wanted to do something special and it was well thought out before we decided on this for both of you."
"We know how close the two of you are and we didn't see the point of you living in two different houses or apartments. We aren't trying to make you move in together or force anything on you. It does have three bedrooms. You can have your separate rooms."
Bo raised an eyebrow, not believing their parents were going to allow this to happen. "You are going to let us live together? In the same house?"
"Under the same roof?" Lauren quickly butted in, not believing it either.
The parents laughed at their children's stunned expressions. Aife had to make it clear. "We are doing this to save money and for safety. We don't want you living alone in New York. Do you two think this is something you would want?"
Lauren looked at Bo and Bo looked at her. It wasn't something they had talked about. Bo answered first. "This isn't something we have spoken about or even thought of. You have caught us completely off guard."
"What she means is that we will discuss it and let you know." Lauren again, tried to get their point across. She wouldn't mind living with Bo, but she didn't want to speak for her girlfriend. They were together so much now, it just seemed like it was something that would work for them, yet she didn't want to assume.
Bo agreed with Lauren, not wanting to answer for the two of them. She knew that with their schedules in the fall, it would be hard to spend a lot of time together. The brunette would love to be able to fall asleep and wake up next to Lauren every day. She turned to speak to Lauren. "How about we talk about this later tonight?"
Lauren flashed a smile. "Yeah, that sounds good."
"Okay, love birds, we will let you go and have some fun. Just be careful." Lauren's mom requested and hugged them both one more time.
Aife did the same before she spoke. "If you need us please call…"
The both said their goodbye's and watched their parents walk away. Bo was the first to turn around and face Lauren. "Can you believe that?"
The blonde nodded her head indicating that 'no' she did not believe it. "Bo, I wouldn't mind it, but our relationship is still new, and we are young. I don't want to rush anything."
Bo's face turned into frown. "You don't want to?"
A small smile appeared after seeing Bo's face. "No, babe, I just want us to be sure that this is what is best for us."
"You are what's best for me…" Be mentioned as she leaned in and placed her lips on Lauren. At first it was just a peck, but it didn't take long for Lauren to pursue more. Bo opened her mouth and took Lauren in, letting their lips close together in a suave kiss. Their lips met a couple of more times before they pulled away and let their foreheads rest against one another. Bo wanted Lauren to know that she was it. "I love you, Lauren. Nothing can change that."
"I love you too, Bo Dennis. I can't wait to show you how much!" Lauren whisked back at her girlfriend.
Bo flashed a mischievous grin and replied. "Well, let's get the hell out of here. We have to show our face at this party, but afterwards, you're all mine."
The couple walked hand in hand out of the stadium, grinning like fools. Right now, they felt like they were on top of the world and nothing can bring them down. Not even two thousand miles in between the two could stop them from reaching their goals. They quickly raced to Bo's car so they could make their way to their destination.
