A Family Matter4
Lauren
"Babe? Are you almost finished? We're going to be late to the movie?" I hear Bo call me from the other side of the bathroom door. I fix my face and wipe the tears that managed to fall down my cheeks.
Having Bo propose to me out of the blue, so spontaneously, had my whole body freeze. Of course after the shock of it all I said yes!
I said yes without her making a speech, or having a ring. I said yes because at that moment she knew she wanted to spend the rest of her life with me. Standing in the tiny room at the hospital, we made it official. We are engaged to one another.
Even though we both wanted to celebrate right then and there, we held back so we can still go on our much needed date. Nothing could ruin this day for me. We made our house a home. And now we will become a family and hopefully fill it.
After our quick shower, we decided to get ready separately. I knew I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off of her body if we didn't. We also decided to keep the engagement a secret until we have our family dinner next week. Or at least we're going to try.
The only thing that hurt my heart on this dream filled day, is the email I just received from Bo's medical team. The scans came back and there is a cluster of tumors on the right side of Bo's brain.
I think we both knew there would be. What were the actual odds that Bo didn't get infected? But I still worry all the same.
The email goes on and on about how small they are, but they seem to be tethered to each other, in hopes that the surgery will be long, but fairly simple.
Closing my phone, I Fan my face once more before gathering myself together. I'm not going to tell Bo about the news right now. I just want us to have one day with a dark cloud following us around.
"Yup, I'm all set! Let's hurry, I want to stop by the store to get some snacks." I step out of the bathroom and smile at Bo.
She's wearing one of my baggy black Star Trek tee, that hugs her body in the best way possible. It's almost as tantalizing as the short, tight jean shorts that make me gulp. "How is it that you make casual look like, like that?"
I look down at my own jeans and tank top, but it's nothing compared to Bo. I'm just lucky that she still loves me all the same.
Bo smiles and takes my hand, dragging me through our home. "I'll take that as a compliment. Now come on, I want to make out with my girlfriend at the movies."
"Fiancée." I murmur and spin her around and capture her lips. Bo's lips part against my own and I take full advantage.
Our laughter forces us to part, but I know there is more where that came from. "Are you sure you don't want to stay in?" She asks with a pout.

"I'm just saying, Iron man was a little hypocritical. He is a loose cannon in all of his movies then, in this one he's supposed to be all noble? He was supposed to be Captain America's friend." I tease dipping the chip into the queso dip. We decided on an action movie and the Captain America Civil War was still in theaters. It was good, but I'm not a huge fan of super hero movies. Lauren though, she loves them.
I mainly just liked the dark and loud atmosphere in the theatre. The close contact between us was like an appetizer for tonight. I got to touch my love enough to keep her wanting much much more.
"Bucky killed his parents and he knew! Secrets don't make friends, Isabeau." Lauren laughs and reaches over for my non-eating hand. "But seriously, thank you for tonight. It feels good to treat you every now and then."
"I feel the same. And we have many many years to do this. I still can't believe we're engaged! It feels crazy."
"Did you ever imagine yourself getting married? Or when you were growing up, did you ever see yourself here?" Lauren asks and I genuinely laugh.
"I honestly never saw myself in love and getting married to a sweet, and sexy woman, no." I manage out through a soft laugh. There was a small pout on her lips, so I lean over and kiss it away. "The love I have for you...I can't even explain it Lauren. It's all consuming, in a way suffocating, how much love I feel for you." I roll my eyes at how I sound, because words really can't describe it. "I probably don't even make sense."
"You make perfect sense." Lauren rushes out then blushes. "Trust me, I understand completely."
The waiter interrupts us for a second and I ask for the check. I wanted to tell Lauren about the results of my tests that I received via email from before the movie, but o didn't want to ruin our date. She had everything planned out and I just couldn't drop that bomb on her. We will have tonight without any problems. I just want us to be...well us.
The check arrived and we paid before we drove home. As the day became night, the temperature remained warm enough for my special treat for Lauren.
"Has Kenzi decided if she was going to move in here too? I asked her a few days ago, but she's been with Jack-erm, with them." Lauren knows how uncomfortable I am with her mentioning Jack, Trick, and now my mother, Aife. I plan to meet them over lunch at Trick's place, but I keep pushing it back.
Now with the positive results of a few brain tumors, it will have to be sooner rather than later. I just get so angry thinking about how quickly they left me. But as Lauren reminds me, I still should give them a chance. At least one.
"She says she's thinking about it. She doesn't want to hear us 'going at it like rabbits'. Her words, definitely not mine." Lauren nods as she grabs a few wine glasses and I a bottle. We silently go out back and sit on the swing facing the pool.
Her arms wrap around me and pull my back into her chest after she sets the empty glades down. Her teeth and lips nip at my neck and I groan at how delightful it feels. "Going at it like rabbits, hmm? How accurate does that sound?"
Placing the unopened bottle on the cement by our feet, I untangle myself from Lauren's arms and her whine sings into the night. "Where are you going?"
Instead of answering, I walk over to the pool and dip my foot into the water. It's a little cold, but I have just the way to heat it up.
Turning to Lauren, I bite my lip and peel away the sweater I'm wearing. I can tell my surprise is working when I see Lauren's mouth fall open. My nipples harden from her intense stare... Or the cool breeze. I forwent the bra in hopes that Lauren would make a move in the movie theatre, but this is much better.
Lauren is sitting straight up by the time I kick off my shorts, but I jump into the water before she can even tempt me anywhere else. I've never been skinny dipping ever, but the idea of Lauren and I, our wet bodies moving together as one, just pushed me to do so. It was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the pool.
Swimming to the shallow end of the clear water, I perch myself on a step showing everything from the waist up. "Babe? Aren't you going to join me?"
A splash of water hits my face before I can even finish my question and I laugh at how enthusiastic she is. Seeing Lauren emerged soaked from head to toe, has me mesmerized. The moon casts off her face like she is some sort of dream.
Her eyes are so intense when she picks me up and crashes our lips together. My legs automatically wrap around her and I can't stop myself from grinding my wet core into her hard stomach.
Lauren's hands grip my ass to help me along, my moans are embarrassingly loud. "Oh baby! Yes! M-more, please Lo."
She guides us until my back hits the side and her body is impossibly closer. "Anything for you, Bo." Lauren growls and sucks harshly on my neck. I cry out and buck when I feel the heel of her hand on my needy clit, two fingers teasing my entrance. "Please..."
Lauren answers by burying her fingers in me, never stopping her slow but forceful pace. Her grunts on in sync with her thrusts and it's literally taking my breath away.
The water is swooshing throughout the pool in a matter of minutes and I know I won't last long, but I only have one request.
I manage one of my legs down and pull at one of hers. She looks at me questioning but when my fingers find her opening, she adjusts to let me in. "Together?"
"Together." I smile and match her pace. Our kisses are short due to the panting, but all I need to fall over the edge is her intense eyes. Seeing the pure, devoted live in those hazel eyes always pushes me over with a cry. "Ahh oh Lauren!"
I didn't even realize she was coming too until I felt the silky gush over my hand and fingers. It's stupid to think but even after all of this time, I am so happy that I can bring Lauren pleasure like she does me.
When we slowly stop our thrusts, we just hold each other close, sharing many delicate kisses, the intimacy damn near overwhelming. It's only then when we pull our fingers free. "It's always going to be that intense, isn't it?" Lauren says pressing her forehead to mine.
"I think so, but I really can't complain." Her smile makes me smile...always. But hers soon fades and turns serious. "What is it, Lo?"
"I-I wasn't going to say anything tonight, but I need to. I ca-can't." But the tears stop her from finishing. It's right then, that I know, she knows.
"I got the email too, Lauren. But this isn't going to stop us from living our lives. I trust you, and your team, with my life." I tilt her chin until her sad eyes find my convicted ones. "This is just another chapter for us. We are not finished yet. I promise."
"I love you, Bo. We can do this, right?"
"You're damn right, baby!" I tell her and grab her face with both hands to take what's mine. And I know how sexy she finds me when I take her however or whenever I want.
"My eyes! No no no not again!"
We both look at a mortified Kenzi on the ground covering her eyes and ears. "Dammit Kenz! Who gave her a key?" Lauren growls and keeps us pressed close together.
"Too bad we don't have your dart gun..." We laugh out loud as we watch Kenzi crawl away from us, but not before reaching for the unopened bottle of wine.
