Ch 21
Lauren
It's been a few days since Dyson attacked me. A few days that Bo and I are trying to figure out our relationship. A few days since I talked about my father to Bo and her opening up about her depressing past. And a few days since my mom met my girlfriend.
Since that day, both my mom and Bo have been pestering me to have a family barbecue. Ok, maybe pestering is the wrong word. I love the fact that my mom and my girlfriend are getting along so well. They've been keeping in touch since their first meeting and I can't deny that I love how happy Isabeau is after each simple text my mother sends her.
I should feel some sort of jealousy, but knowing Bo lost both of her parents at such an important part of her, makes me want to share everything I have with her. And I intend to give her that damn family barbecue she's been itching for ever since my mother brought it up.
I'm glad I have something to look forward to as well. Ever since Dyson attacking me, I've been having trouble with every day things. I get nervous walking alone and I get nightmares about that night. So they aren't too bad of troubles, but they still drag me to a point where I need to stay locked up in my room.
Bo reassures me that everything will be ok and if I ever need to talk she'll be there. And I do, talk to her that is. I just hate having to voice my thoughts knowing she was in my position too.
I'm trying to move forward, but I can't until I know of Dyson's future. Yes, he's still in the hospital due to the extensive damages to his face and mouth and Tamsin has been keeping both eyes on him, but there's still the lingering thought that he could get out of this again. At least It seems Hale got the message Tamsin gave him since the next day he transferred to another district. Sometimes, being a scary ass detective, like Tamsin, has its perks. Although, she is familiar with how sometimes the law can fuck you over, but she's seeing to it that Dyson will be going away for a long time. His parents money and connections be damned.
It also helps that the video recording that Evony had was more than enough concrete evidence that there was no question to how violent Dyson could be. Needless to say, his lawyer wants to make a deal.
Evony has been unimpressed with his last few deals he has offered. She has been pushing for us to make our case in court, but his lawyer wants this to go away quietly. And frankly, so do I. But if they don't strike a deal soon we will have no choice. So until that happens, I don't think closure will be happening anytime soon.
A knock on my lab door startles me from my thoughts. Looking at the clock, it seems two hours have flown by since the last person left. I haven't been trying to avoid going home, it's just every time I walk through those halls I get an unsettling feeling.
Hearing the door open, I look to see an uncertain Bo hovering by the door. "Hey."
Getting up from my work station I walk with determined strides, "Hi." I squeak out once I'm in front of her. She just smiles and stares at the space in between us. "You weren't joking when you said science was your mistress, huh?"
"Have I been that bad?" I ask her with guilt in my voice.
She shakes her head, "No, not really. I just, I've called and messaged you. I guess I just feared the worse. I didn't mean to show up unannounced."
I step closer hearing those words. "No, never assume you are not welcomed here. I always want you here." I place my arms on her shoulders, waiting for her eyes to find mine. I need her to see how true my words are. "I'm sorry. I need to be more considerate towards you."
"I just worry about you Lauren." Her words are spoken softly, making my heart clench. I kiss her forehead, "Let me get my stuff, then we can go home."
I gather my stuff quickly stealing glances at my girlfriend standing by the door. She's wearing a plain black shirt and some jeans. Most of her body is covered in dirt and grime. "How is the food truck renovation going? By the looks of it, I'd say they are going well?" I ask with hint of humor.
"I thought you liked me a little dirty?" Her voice catches me off guard causing me to still all movements. When I look back at her, she's flashing a brilliant smile, knowing exactly what her words do to me.
Grabbing my bag I hustle out the doors, practically dragging a now giggling Bo. Luckily the halls are pretty much vacant, except for the random staff for the graveyard shift, or I'm sure I'd be more than embarrassed.
Once we reached our cars parked next to each other, I feel Bo push me up against mine and crash her lips against mine. Her mouth is hungry, prying my lips apart eagerly searching what is rightfully hers.
I drop my bag and tangle both of my hands in her hair, holding her in place, while she devours every inch of my mouth. Her movements are needy, pressing me deeper into the metal behind me.
"I feel like I haven't touched you in ages." She murmurs against my lips before trailing a series of kisses and nips down my jaw and neck.
"Oh God, Bo! Touch me! Please!" Her scents and touches are driving me insane. Her lips on my skin are intoxicating, I feel like I might pass out just from her simple touches.
Her hand wanders up my stomach until she reaches my breast covered in my work shirt. She gives it a generous squeeze and bites harshly on my neck. "Ahh" I breathe out, stunned.
Bo pulls back and smiles back at me. "There, all better." She pulls away from my body and bites her lip. Her eyes are boring holes into my neck.
Reaching to where she bit me, I feel the marks from her teeth. "Did you just?" She nods eagerly. "My my, possessive much?" I joke still rubbing my neck, knowing there will be a harsh bruise there soon.
"Very. Just leaving you a reminder of me." She says casually as she walks to the drivers side of her car, leaving me still leaning against mine. All of a sudden she throws me a wink and hops into her car and drives away, leaning me stunned standing alone in the parking lot.
Finally my brain caught up with my hormones and I push off the car and hop in, starting the ignition and peeling out of there, to chase after my tease of a girlfriend.
Bo
I arrive at my apartment complex quickly. Having Lauren's place of work so close is definitely nice, probably why she chose to live here to begin here.
For the last couple of days I've noticed my girlfriend to be in somewhat of a zombie like haze. She just gets so caught up in her thoughts that she forgets that there are people she can talk to. That I'm here to help her.
She's been working like crazy, no doubt trying to get back to a sense of normalcy, but I see the lingering effects wearing her down. We are so close of getting rid of our haunted past, I just know if we stick together Dyson won't ever be a problem again.
"Hola Bo Bop O Dua!" Kenzi greets from her spot on the couch. I swear, she's been in that same spot since I began to work in the truck this morning.
"Hey Kenz. Do you have plans tonight?"
She looks at me skeptically, "Whyyyy?" She drawls looking at the mess she's made, probably thinking I'm going to make her clean it up.
"I want to go out. I feel like we all have been so gloomy and boring. I want to party." I conclude with my hands on my hip, almost challenging her to say no. Im almost never one to ask to party, so I know she'll jump at the opportunity to get me out of my comfort zone.
"Hell to the bells yes! Clubbing? Oh, who cares, as long as we get our dance on!" She jumps up from her place and hustles to her room. "And you my dear, need a shower! Hustle girl! The night is wasting away!"
With a smack on my ass, she disappears to her room. Before I can start undressing and go shower, the door knocks. I smile knowing exactly who it is. Opening the door, I see an out of breath Lauren.
"Took you long enough." I tease kissing her softly on her lips. Her breath coming out harsher now than before. The shy grin on her face tells me that she enjoys the playfulness. "Go get ready. We're going out tonight."
"We are?" She asks filter her head.
"Yes. Now go, I need to take a shower."
"You know, I always liked you a little dirty." She wiggles her eyes brows causing me to laugh. I push her down the hallway until her back hits her door.
"You're something else, you know that." I tell her.
"Hmm. Something good?" She asks playing with the hairs that fell out of my pony tail.
"Something great." My eyes travel down her body in a not so shuttle way, causing my girlfriend to blush. "Now go before I change my mind. I'd hate to not get a chance to dance with you tonight." With that I walk backwards until I reach my door. Teasing Lauren is becoming one of my favorite activities, and by look on her face, she enjoys it just as much.
Watching Lauren snapped out of her lustful haze and bolt inside her apartment triggers me to do the same. Getting dressed was easier than my shower. The truck needs a lot of work, but between me and the mechanic I hired, it's starting to become exactly what I envisioned it to be. It's just hidden underneath all the yuck and muck.
Nevertheless, here I am ready in dark skinny jeans and a navy loose fitted tshirt. Unsure of where exactly we are going to go, I grabbed a pair of comfy black wedges to complete my outfit.
I see Kenzi opening the door to a casual, but just as hot, looking Lauren. The loose fitted jeans are barely hanging on to her hips. I can see the soft skin when her tank top adjusts when she moves.
It takes everything I am not to jump on her and tear her clothes off with my teeth. Her body is so defined, I can already feel her dominance. But tonight s my night and I can't wait to have my way with her later.
"Hellooooo! Bo, let's go! While you were too busy trying to see through Hotpants' hotpants, we were declaring it Tequila and beer night. Hop to it." Kenzi practically yells at me before stomping out the door.
Lauren just shakes her head and holds out her hand for me. "Shall we?"
Accepting her offered hand, I bite my lip and nod. She has a sparkle in her eye tonight, that makes my whole body heat up. It's refreshing to see, it's been hard to get her feeling again. This whole thing with Dyson really did a number on my girlfriend. Hopefully Evony will soon have all of this squared away so it can be a distant memory to everyone.
She kisses my cheek as she escorts me down the hall with her arm wrapped around me. Her fingers make their way under my shirt and play with the skin on my hip. With all of these subtle touches and glances, I'm not sure how long I'll be able to last. She just feels too good. And the look in her eyes tells me she is thinking the exact same thing. Tonight should be interesting to say the least.
AN: Writing this was more difficult than I anticipated. I stopped it here tho because I have some answers involving Trick and the way he's been acting, but it's going to take some time to write it. So next chapter is the girls' night out and some BoLo time. Please leave a review to let me know what you think, it really does motivate me to get the chapters up quicker. Anyways, thanks for reading and to all of the loyal followers! You guys are the best!
