AN: Again, thank you all so much for the reviews! I love reading all your reviews and seeing how you interpret the chapters. I have really loved writing this story so far.
I had originally thought of this chapter "The Cabin" as just one chapter but I am making it a two-part due to the length of it, so this chapter is "The Cabin – part 1" and the next chapter "The Cabin – part 2" has been uploaded as well.
The song lyrics in this chapter are from the song "Walk over me" by Dirtie Blonde and all rights belong to them.

12 days left of the bet.
It's Friday afternoon and it's time to go up to Crystal's lake house cabin for the weekend. Lauren and Crystal are taking Crystal's car and Kenzi and Bo are taking Bo's car.
Kenzi & Bo are packing up Bo's car, getting ready to leave.
Bo and Kenzi have been put in charge of bringing entertainment and alcohol while Lauren and Crystal are bringing all the food. This division is good as both Kenzi and Bo are lousy cooks and they know almost nothing about food and groceries. Kenzi brought music and some different games. Bo brought bottles of red wine, white wine, tequila, vodka and a case of beer from the bar.
"Are you sure you brought enough alcohol?" Kenzi asks sarcastically at the sight of all the bottles.
"We wouldn't want to run out."
"I'm sure we won't. Did you remember to pack a bikini?"
Bo is surprised. "We need bikinis? It's the beginning of November, surely it will be too cold to go swimming in the lake."
Kenzi smiles. "Ahh, yes but the cabin has a Jacuzzi."
Bo feels like she just has just been told that the real Santa will actually be coming down the chimney for Christmas…. "A Jacuzzi?"
"Yes."
This means there is a chance of seeing Lauren in a bikini. Maybe it really is Christmas. Bo feels like this might be the greatest weekend ever. "I'll just run up a get my bikini real quick!"
Kenzi laughs as Bo enthusiastically sprints back to the apartment to get her bikini.

The drive up to the lake is only 1,5 hours and any road trip with Kenzi is fun. When one of their favourite songs comes on radio, Kenzi turns up the volume and both of them start to sing along as loudly as they can and they dance around as much as you can in a car while grinning all over their faces;
"Are you for real?
Are you yessing me to death?
You get my humor
And baby, I'm amazed
Yeah, this must be my day
You're too good lookin'
There must be something wrong
I'm sure you're taken
I'm doing it again
But I don't want to screw myself
'Cause you're a little bit too nice
I look a little bit like hell
'Cause I'm a little overtired
And I'm a little overwhelmed
And you're a little bit too late
And it's a little bit too soon
And I'm a little bit too strange
For somebody like you
Walk over me
So far, so good
You proved me wrong again
But I'm not certain
So can we fill the space
With this awkward silence?
[Chorus]
Walk over me
[Chorus]
Oh, it feels a little bit too right
So I know it must be wrong
I wanna take you home tonight
But I'm trying to be strong
Oh, you know a little bit too much
And it's a little bit too fast
I don't have the best of luck
With making these things last
Oh, I'm just a little like my mom
I barely get a wink of sleep
And I will never lie to you
And your secrets I will keep
Oh, you're just a little bit like me
Think you're a little bit too smart
I'm a little weary
So please don't break my heart
Walk over me
Walk over me
Walk over me"

Crystal and Lauren are already there when Kenzi and Bo arrive at the cabin.
Crystal greets them as they get out of the car, "Hi ladies. I am so happy you came."
Both Kenzi and Bo say hi. Kenzi gives Crystal a hug. "Thank you for having us."
Bo spots Lauren coming down towards them. Wow, how does she do it? Lauren is wearing a pair of jeans and a white tunic and her blonde hair is hanging loose. There is nothing special about her clothes, it's quite ordinary actually, but she looks absolutely stunning. She looks anything but ordinary to Bo. Bo cannot help but smile. 'Get a hold of your self woman!' she says to herself.
"Hi Kenzi. Bo." Lauren smiles.
Kenzi smiles as well, "Hi Lauren."
"Hi doctor Lewis." As soon as Bo has said it she knows she should have stuck with 'Lauren' and not 'doctor Lewis', it ended up sounding way more flirtatious than she had intended. However, to her surprise Lauren doesn't seem to mind, she does that thing she does with her hair when she is nervous or embarrassed, where she tucks a strain of hair behind her ear and then she gives Bo a shy smile and bites her lower lip before she takes some of their bags and heads back to the cabin.
Ohhhhh the lip biting is new! And the effect is has on Bo's entire body is indescribable. This is going to be a long weekend…..
The Cabin is beautiful and huge! Luckily that means that each of the women each get to have their own room.
After having settled into their rooms on the first floor they all meet up in the kitchen downstairs. They have some wine and start talking and laughing. If anyone looked in on the four of them they would think they had all four been friends for years based on how well the conversation flows.
Crystal looks at her watch. "Maybe it's time to get started on dinner?"
"I think you are right, before we have too much wine on empty stomachs." Lauren takes a sip of her wine and then goes over to the sink and washes her hands.
Kenzi gets up. "What should we do? Do you want us to help with the cooking? I will warn you, Bo and I are terrible cooks but we are pretty skilled in setting a table and maybe putting on some music?"
"That's okay. Lauren is a really good cook and I will help her. So if you two just put on some music and set a table, that will be just perfect. Although, maybe one of you could get some wood out back for the fireplace? This place get's pretty cold at night this time of year."
Bo volunteers to go out back for the firewood while Kenzi puts on some music. When Bo returns with the wood the music is blasting from the stereo. She puts the firewood down by the fireplaces and goes to the bathroom to wash up. As she enters the kitchen Lauren is there alone and she is dancing with her back to Bo. - Cooking and dancing. Lauren hasn't heard Bo enter the kitchen because of the music. Looking at Lauren dance, Bo is filled with delight and for a while she just stands there and watches the blonde do a cute little happy dance.
Bo clears her throat in order to make her presence known. Lauren stops dancing immediately and darts around to see a grinning Bo.
"Nice dance. Do you give lessons?"
Lauren blushes, "No…!"
"Where are Kenzi and Crystal?"
"They went upstairs looking for a tablecloth."
"I see. Do you need help with anything?"
"You could chop the vegetables over there?"
"I'll give it a try but I am warning you, I am terrible in a kitchen. It'll be at your own risk."
"I'm sure it can't be that bad. Get your ass over there and chop some vegetables Dennis."
"Yes ma'am." Is Lauren flirting with her? - Bo isn't sure but whatever it is, she likes it. Bo washes her hands and goes over to the chopping board and starts chopping.
Lauren walks over to her. "How are the vegetables coming along?"
"Not too well." Bo admits.
Lauren looks over Bo's shoulder and laughs. "I can see that. But you are holding the knife all wrong. You need to make sure you have more control over the knife by placing you fingers like this." Lauren demonstrates with her fingers in the air.
Bo gives it a try with the knife. "Like this?"
"Not exactly. Here let me show you." And before Bo knows it Lauren is standing right behind her. – Very closely behind her! So close that Lauren's body is slightly pressed up against Bo's back. Bo stiffens. Lauren puts her arms around Bo and takes Bo' hands into her own so that Bo's hands become an extension of Lauren's. Lauren places Bo's fingers correctly and starts to show her how to chop the vegetables. There is something immensely sensual about this moment.
"Like that." As Lauren says these words in a low husky voice her mouth is so close to Bo's right ear that she can feel the warmth of Lauren's breath in her ear. It sends chills through Bo's entire body.
Oh, Lauren is definitely flirting with her!
Gently Bo tilts her head slightly back and to the side and when she does her right cheek lightly touches Lauren's nose. Bo is suddenly very aware of how close their mouths are.
"We found it!" Kenzi shouts as she and Crystal enter the kitchen. Both of them come to a halt at the sight of Lauren and Bo in the middle of a clearly intimate moment. Lauren quickly steps back from Bo and goes back to her own cooking station. "Good."
Bo takes a deep breath before turning around to face the Crystal and Kenzi. "Good, then I will leave the cooking to you guys and help Kenzi instead."
Bo puts down the knife and walks over to Kenzi, who is still starring like a moron, and grabs her arm and drags her into the dinning room.
Bo and Kenzi put the tablecloth on the table and start setting the table.
Kenzi looks at Bo and lowers her voice so that she won't be heard in the kitchen, "What was that? What just happened in the kitchen?"
Bo keeps her eyes on the table. "Nothing. It was nothing."
"Nothing?! It sure as hell didn't look like nothing!"
"Nothing happened."
"Bo, you need to be careful."
"Nothing happened….."
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Dinner is delicious. Lauren really is a fantastic cook. Both the conversation and the wine flow so easily during dinner.
After dinner they all help clean up. Bo gets a fire started in the fireplace and they all settle down in the cosy living room with their wine and some popcorn. Kenzi insists that they play charades. Kenzi and Bo play against Lauren and Crystal. Bo hates charades but it actually ends up not being too bad. Bo and Kenzi win a crushing victory because it turns out that Lauren is the absolute worst at charades. Lauren overanalyses everything Crystal acts and it is the funniest thing to watch.
"Should we get some more wine?" Kenzi asks, as everyone's glasses seem to be empty when they finish playing charades.
Crystal looks at Kenzi as if she had just asked whether or not dogs bark. "Of course we should get more wine. The whole point of going up here this weekend is that we are going to drink so much wine and laugh so much that I forget I'm turning 30!"
They all laugh and Bo gets up and goes to the kitchen to get some more wine.
Bo pours some wine for each of them once she returns. "Thank you!" Lauren smiles. "While you were gone we decided to that we are going to play 'never have I ever'."
Bo looks at Crystal and then turns to look at Kenzi with a silent "WTF look". Playing 'never have I ever' really isn't a good idea. Kenzi knows that this will put Bo in a situation where she comes out looking like anything but a saint.
Bo sighs. "I'll just go get the vodka and tequila then." Wine is not going to be strong enough to get through that hell game.
When she returns Crystal quickly goes through the rules of the game.
"Rules are that we each take turns at making a statement starting with "Never have I ever". Anyone who has done what the person just said they haven't done has to drink a shot of vodka or tequila. Okay? Let's start."
Bo will end up drinking an entire bottle of tequila by herself.
'Never have I ever' always ends up being all about sexual experiences and Bo is not so keen on letting Crystal and Lauren know so much about her somewhat active sex life, Kenzi knows most of it already. Another problem with this game is that it's quite difficult for Bo to come up with statements of things she hasn't done….
At first, it actually isn't as bad as Bo feared. As she anticipated, Bo has to drink a lot but so do the others for the most part. After some of the questions they ask each other to elaborate. Although Bo isn't crazy about playing this game it does allow Bo to get to know more about Lauren. – And Crystal of course. Crystal starts:
Crystal; "Never have I ever had sex with a woman." – Lauren and Bo drink. No surprise there as both Kenzi and Crystal are straight.
Kenzi: "Never have I ever had sex with someone 10+ years older than me." – Crystal and Bo drink. Crystal used to date a much older man.
Bo: "Never have I ever had sex with a man." – Kenzi and Crystal drink. Bo is secretly kind of pleased that Lauren didn't drink.
Lauren: "Never have I ever had sex with someone within an hour of meeting them." – Bo drinks and gives everyone a shrug. Bo cannot help but feel that Lauren's statement is directed at her.
Crystal: "Never have I ever used a sex toy on someone." – The three others all drink and Crystal comes to the conclusion that she has to be more adventurous in bed. Kenzi promises to give Crystal a few recommendations in that department, causing them all to burst into laughter.
Kenzi: "Never have I ever been in a relationship that lasted more than 3 years." – Crystal and Lauren drink. Crystal was pretty serious with that older guy a few years back but they ultimately wanted different things and after they broke up she found out he had been cheating on her the entire time. Lauren just quickly says that she was with Evony for 4 years and none of the others want to press the matter. Lauren seems disappointed that Bo didn't drink.
Bo: "Never have I ever given someone a lap dance or done a striptease for someone." First Kenzi slowly lifts her shot and drinks. Crystal and Lauren laugh and both follow.
Well this is news. Lauren Lewis has given someone a striptease or lap dance. What Bo wouldn't do to be on the receiving end of that….
Crystal looks at Bo. "Have you really never done that yourself Bo? – I am surprised"
"I'm full of surprises. No, I never have. I don't dance very well so I have only been the lucky receiver."
Crystal smiles, "Okay."
Lauren: "Never have I ever had sex in a bathroom." – Kenzi and Bo drink. "What? It happens." Kenzi adds with a wink. Bo nods in agreement, while thinking to herself that it actually happens quite often.
Crystal: "Never have I ever woken up after a one-night stand and thought who is this person lying next to me?." – Kenzi drinks. "Oh come on you guys, you must have tried this, I cannot be the only one?"
Lauren shrugs. "I have never had a one-night stand."
Bo is surprised to learn that Lauren has never had a one-night stand. Perhaps Lauren hasn't tried one because she was in a relationship with Evnoy for a long time but still she could have had one either before she met Evony or after loosing her. No matter what, this most likely means that sex is not just sex for Lauren, which is not good for Bo.
"And I've had one-night stands, I just always had them with gorgeous handsome men that I could remember them just fine the next morning." Crystal says it with such sassiness that the others burst into laughter again.
Lauren looks at Bo. "What about you Bo? You must statistically have had this happen to you?" Bo feels more and more sure that Lauren suggested this game just so she would to get to know things about her. Bo looks at Kenzi before taking a deep breath. "I have never slept with a woman." Kenzi gives Bo a friendly smile knowing that this was not something Bo necessarily wanted to tell right now. Crystal and Lauren frown and look at each other.
Crystal looks back at Bo. "I'm sorry Bo, but I am confused. I mean, you have a certain reputation in town and from what we've seen and what you've said tonight, what do you mean you have never slept with a woman?"
Bo looks down at her hands. "I mean that I never have. I know what you are asking. I have had sex with woman, obviously, but I have never slept with a woman. I don't do the sleeping part."
"Why? I don't quite understand." The question comes from Crystal but judging by Lauren's expression she is very much interested in the answer as well.
Bo swallows. "First of all, it gives women the wrong impression. Women are more likely to think that is more than just sex if you spend the night and then wake up together. Also it is just much more intimate to sleep with another person." Bo feels weirdly exposed with that admission.
This time the question comes from Lauren, "How can sleeping with a woman, or a man for that sake, be more intimate than having sex with them?"
Bo looks at Kenzi, silently asking her to bail her out and Bo is so relieved when she does.
Kenzi: "Lets move on. Never have I ever fantasized about anyone in this room." At first nothing happens. Bo thinks to herself that perhaps Kenzi is trying to help her out with this statement. Bo takes her shot and drinks while looking at Lauren. Just as Bo disappointedly thinks that she is going to be the only one to drink and that they are moving on to the next question, Lauren picks up her shot glass and drinks without looking at Bo. Crystal and Kenzi both look at Lauren, then at Bo and then each other.
Bo is so exited to see Lauren drink because of this statement, that she could do cartwheels all over the floor right now. This means that Lauren has had dirty thoughts about her….. (It won't be about Kenzi or Crystal) Wow…. Maybe this game isn't so bad after all.
Bo: "Never have I ever had sex with a boss of mine." (Which is true, not because Bo would be against it or anything but the only boss she has ever had is her grandfather Trick so she never really had the chance.) – Crystal and Kenzi drink.
Lauren: "Never have I ever had sex with more than 50 people in total."
The room becomes very quiet following Lauren's statement. Kenzi and Crystal stare at Bo and Lauren. Bo looks at Lauren, who in turn looks right into Bo's eyes. Bo knows that Lauren is absolutely directing this statement directly at her. Lauren knows that the other two have not had sex with more than 50 people in total. No, this is about Bo not answering Lauren's earlier question about how many women Bo has had sex with. Why does Lauren want to know how many Bo has had sex with? Why is that so important? And why choose 50? – Because she knows that the others will not have slept with this many? Or because Lauren believes Bo's number of sexual partners are within a range of approximately 50? Bo maintains eye contact with Lauren. Perhaps Bo should just be happy Lauren didn't choose a much higher number. Bo is annoyed that Lauren is so insistent on knowing this; nothing good would come of Lauren knowing. Still looking into Lauren's eyes she takes her shot and drinks it, acknowledging that she has had sex with more than 50 people.
Lauren breaks eye contact and takes a sip of her wine.
The tension in the room is palpable. Luckily Kenzi breaks the silence by suggesting that they all go to bed since it is getting really late and if they drink anymore they won't be able to get up until noon tomorrow. Crystal is quick to agree. Bo and Lauren look at each other. Bo wishes she could read Lauren's thoughts so that she could understand this woman that is such an enigma to her.
