~Thank you sooo much for the follows :) off we go! Enjoy.~
Chapter 4
I was sitting on "my" bed in Kenzi's room re-reading my essay, I wanted to get it done with and now that it had been a few hours since I wrote it I trusted my eyes to see any mistakes I had left. I was facing the window so I didn't have the distraction of Kenzi's TV in my sight and my headphones in so I could focus. I had gotten to the third page uninterrupted before I felt the bed shift behind me. I waited for Kenzi to jump me and tell me to stop being boring but I was pleasantly surprised.
"Are you done yet?" Bo said softly as she hugged me from behind, I leaned into her and took out my headphones.
"I've still got a little more to go, but at this point I'm just editing." She rested her chin on my shoulder and huffed like a 6 year old who was tired of waiting for their mom to pick out a paint color.
"Yeah but you're super smart I'm sure it's already perfect." I turned to look at her and she grinned at me. I noticed that Kenzi had yet to say eww or join in with Bo's protest for me to finish up.
"Where's Kenzi?"
"She left a while ago, said something about a meeting for the Justice League? I couldn't tell if she was joking or being serious…" I laughed and turned to face Bo, closing my laptop and figuring that I didn't really need to triple check it. She smiled at me and I felt the butterflies in my stomach start fluttering around.
"Don't tell her I told you but it's not the Justice League, its Justice Forever… I'm 87% sure that she actually dresses up in a costume and everything."
"Like from Kick-Ass the movie?"
"That's the one."
"She is a very interesting person." Bo said, I laughed and nodded at her
"She's my favorite person." I answered.
"I can see why…" We sat in a comfortable silence; I moved and mirrored her crisscross applesauce position.
"Wanna play a game?" Bo asked. I nodded my head yes, only because I needed to distract myself from starring at her chest, curse V-necks.
"20 questions?" She asked
"Sure, you go first." I replied
"What is your favorite desert?" she asked excitedly
"Hmmm, chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, but not the cheap sugary kind the rich a creamy and fluffy kind." She took my hand in hers and smiled at me
"Your turn." I decided to go with playful instead of asking what I really wanted to ask
"What was the last song you listened to?" With her other hand she pulled out her hand and showed me her screen
"Vagabonds by Grizfolk? I've never heard of them." She pressed play and set her phone down in between us
"A lot of people haven't heard of them, they haven't blown up yet, but I hope they do I really like them. The singer has such a rad voice." She melted our finger together and I felt the butterflies stir again.
"So far I like them…Next question!?" I said eagerly. She thought for a second before she spoke
"What's a weird fact about you?" I looked at her with a puzzled look and she continued
"You know like do you secretly cry every time you watch the Notebook or do you buy Reese's cups by the dozens?" I laughed at her and she rolled her eyes at me
"Okay, I love lemons, a lot. I can eat one plain with out flinching. The weird part is that I hate lemon-flavored things, cake, candy, lemonade, lemon chicken I hate that stuff, but give me a raw lemon and I will happily munch on it."
"That is a little weird…" We both laughed and locked our free hands together and she scooted closer to me, again the butterflies made their presence known. I gave her hands a squeeze and thought of my next question
"What's your guilty pleasure?" She grinned at me and kissed my lips softly
"Besides that?" I rolled my eyes at her and kissed her back
"Yeah, besides that." She winked at me and thought
"Bacon. I love bacon. I'm talking bacon anything, candy, popcorn, cake, bacon chicken all of it. I mean nothing can compare to the traditional bacon you fry up in a pan -damn do I love that stuff."
"Isn't that everyone's guilty pleasure?" She shook her head
"Oh not like it is for me. I actually eat really healthy and I have days off where I eat whatever I want and on those days you better believe I have bacon at least three times."
"I like that."
"Thanks, I like you." She grinned at me and I kissed her again, this time I had to force myself to pull away.
"What's you guilty pleasure?"
"Don't laugh, but when I cook or bake I watch Footloose, the old one then the new one and I'm not lying when I say I get into it. I dance my heart out, it's embarrassing but it's just something I've always done. When I was a kid my mom and I used to do it, but we stopped doing it for some reason.. Then the remake came out and I started doing it again… Silly right?" I waited for her to make fun of me but instead was met with a genuine smile.
"I like that." I blushed slightly not so much at hearing my words echoed back to me but because of the look she was giving me. It was filled with lust.
"Thanks, I like you." I whispered back She moved towards me stopping before our lips met again. My heart was beating out of my chest and I was positive my palms had started to sweat. She winked at me and released my hands and pulled me in for a heated lip lock. Her hands tangled in my hair as our lips moved together. I couldn't help but moan as her as her tongue entered my mouth. I wanted to kiss her for then four hours straight but I forced my lips to part with hers. We were both out of breath from the intense kiss. We looked at each other and laughed
"It's a good thing we're not in my room right now." Bo whispered
'Why's that?" I flirted. She glared playfully at me before she pinned me to the bed.
I learned a lot about Bo in just a few hours, we had this comfortable back and forth going and we're completely honest with each other. It was refreshing. I learned that she is obsessed with cashew chicken and beef lo mien, she craves it all the time. She knows all the words to every Ed Sheeran song, she was surprised to know that I knew who he was and actually listened to him quite frequently. She wishes that she could live in autumn all year. She likes to go camping a lot and she's happiest when she's outside. She misses her Mom more than anything and visits her grave whenever she can so she can think. My heart broke for her when she spoke about the last time she saw her…
"She was a special person Lauren. She was always happy; she would pick me up from school on Fridays because she got out of work early and we would go home and make tacos, but not the normal kind. We would put the weirdest stuff in them..."
"Like what?" I had asked. She was smiling to herself in the most adorable way
"One time we put bananas, chocolate and peppers in it, it was really just whatever we had around the house you know? Like ham, pineapple, pears and coconut basically I would ask her what I could put in it and she told me anything I wanted to, and I did just that. No matter how gross our creation was we would eat every bite happily. She was always really good to me."
"Sounds like she was amazing Bo." I said.
"I knew something was wrong because it was Friday, she was supposed to pick me up from school and instead my aunt picked me up. She looked worried as we drove to the hospital. I had asked her where my Mom was and she never answered… We got to the hospital just in time for me to say goodbye to her. She didn't seem afraid of death.. She smiled at me when I walked in and hoped up on the bed next to her. She told me that she loved me more than anything in the world and that was it."
I was so honored that she shared that story with me, I could tell she didn't talk about it often and I found myself liking her even more after hearing it. She was witty and goofy and extremely sexy and I was doomed.
"Lo, getcha head in the game would you?" Kenzi snapped at me effectively taking me out of my daze. We were all dressed up and headed to a ZBT frat party, it wasn't usually my thing but I wanted to have some fun and it was an end of finals big party so according to Kenzi I had to be there.
"Sorry." I said as my best friend rolled her eyes at me and ran ahead.
"You okay?" I turned to look at Bo who was giving me a concerned look I smiled and took her hand in mine
"Yeah just thinking." She grinned down at our interlocked fingers
"Well next time think out loud, I like to know what's going on in that brain of yours."
"I'll do my best." She leaned in and kissed me on the lips but only for a moment
"Keep it in your pants for like one sec por favor?" Kenzi said as she pulled me away, when I looked back Bo was shaking her head and laughing.
We walked into the crowded house and made our way to the basement. The stairs were narrow and the room was dark except for a flashing strobe light and a few strings of Christmas lights, there was a DJ along the back wall and a huge crowd of people dancing. Kenzi dragged me around the room until we got to the kegs; we waited until it was our turn to fill our cups. I turned around to say something Bo but she wasn't there. I looked around and searched for her, no luck.
"Did you see where Bo went?" I yelled over the loud music at Kenzi
"Isn't that her?" She shouted back at me while pointing to the sea of people we had just walked through. I saw her standing there in her tight leather leggings, burgundy tank top and leather jacket in hand talking to some guy. He was at least 6 feet tall, he had on a deep green long sleeve shirt and dark jeans. He looked like a Greek god with his dark black hair and blue eyes that I could see half way across the room, not mention his muscles that you could see through his shirt. He was pulling Bo in close to talk to her and I could tell that she was uncomfortable.
"Who is that guy she's with? He is damn sexy." Kenzi said.
"I'm going to go over there." Kenzi patted me on the back as I walked away. I felt incredibly jealous of this guy who had his arm draped around her shoulders. I walked up and Bo's eyes widened when she saw me. She tried to push the guy away from her but he held her closer and whispered something in her ear.
"Hey you disappeared on me." I said casually as I tried to figure out who this guy was.
"Sorry I got caught up." She looked at me apologetically. Green shirt looked at me and then at Bo
"She's fine with me so you can leave." I looked up at him and glared
"Come on Bo." I held my hand out and waited for her to take it, I had a momentary freak out when she didn't take it in the first few seconds but I relaxed when her hand found mine.
"I'll see you around." Bo said as I pulled her away from his reach and towards Kenzi who was watching. She looked at me then back at the guy and then at Bo.
"Is everything cool?" She asked I looked at Bo and waited for her answer
"Uh, yeah its fine.. I'm gunna get a drink be right back." I watched her disappear into the crowd but kept my eye on her.
"Well that was awkward.." Kenzi said
"Tell me about it… I think that was her ex." Kenzi looked at me
"Could be, you should go follow her." I looked at her for the first time and saw her smile at me
"Are you sure?" She nodded at me
"Go get her babe, I'll be fine. I think I see Mr. tall dark and handsome from my ethics class." She winked at me and was engulfed by the crowd. I downed the beer that was in my hand and went in the direction of Bo. I found her leaning against the wall watching the crowd of people as she drank from her cup. The lights were flickering and I slowly walked up to her until I was a few inches from her. I took her cup and drank the rest of it. She opened her mouth to speak but I put my hand fpr her to stop.
"That was your ex wasn't it?" she nodded and looked down. I lifted her chin up with my hand and smiled at her. She took the empty cup from my hand and dropped it on the ground before she wrapped her hands around my waist holding me against her body. I let my hands rest on her shoulders and waited for her to say something. She didn't for a while so we just stood there together while the different colored lights filled the room and the roar of the music boomed through the room.
"That was Tommy, he is my ex. He cheated on me and I haven't seen him since we broke up. I didn't mean to run off like that I'm just a little shocked is all." Her eyes held sadness and I wanted change that quickly. I pulled her close to me and kissed her lips softly. I wanted the kiss to show that I didn't care about her past as long and that I was here for her and she could trust me. I pulled away from her smirked
"It's okay Bo, I would be shocked too. Do you still want to be here or do you want to go do something else?"
"I want to tell you about him, not now obviously but in the near future." I nodded my head
"I'd like that." She smiled
"I don't wanna leave, we both deserve to have some fun." She drew me in again and kissed me with so much power that my knees almost buckled. Our kiss deepened as I pushed her against the wall and her hands slipped down into the pockets of my jeans. Our bodies were as close as we could make them without tearing each other's clothes off. Her tongue slipped into my mouth and I practically melted. Her hands drifted up to my lower back sneaking underneath my shirt and onto my bare skin sending a warm pulse throughout my entire body. I couldn't hear anything else that was going on around us. All I heard, felt, sensed, cared about was Bo. Our kiss continued to shatter my world until her hands went to my shoulders and forced us apart. I grinned at her and she smiled. I became aware of the feeling that we were being watched. I saw Bo's eyes turn protective and looked over my shoulder to see a small group of people standing around us staring at Bo and I. Some were wide eyed, some people's jaws hung open, some looked shocked and some looked turned on. I turned back to look at Bo and we laughed. I separated myself from her and heard an "Oh thank god." I turned to glare at whoever it was and was met with bright blue eyes. Bo rolled her eyes at the small crowd and dragged me towards Kenzi.
"Don't say anything." I said to the small Russian girl who had her hands on her hips and a grin on her face.
The rest of the night was filled with beer, dancing, trying not to rip Bo's clothes off, getting way to many Jell-O shots at once and repeating.
I spent the whole night hypnotized by Bo Dennis. She could drink just as much as Kenzi, which was extremely impressive. But the way her hips moved when she danced made it hard to keep my hands to myself especially as the night went on and the alcohol over took my brain. At one point Kenzi had gone to dance with her friend from class and left me and Bo unsupervised. Bo pressed up against my back and we swayed to the music. Her hands were on my hips and her thumbs dangerously close to the hem of my low cut jeans, I closed my eyes enjoying the way she felt against me. She moved my hair to one side and pressed her lips to my neck causing me to moan and press harder into her. I turned my head and forced her lips to mine briefly before she pulled away and moved her focus back to my neck. She sucked hard and bit down on my collarbone.
"Be gentle with me." I joked; she kissed my ear as the bass thumped through he basement.
"I just want people to know that you're mine for the night." My god she knew the perfect thing to say. I quickly turned around in her embrace and moved her hair to one side and replied back to a dark eyed brunette
"I think it's my turn." I moved my lips to her neck and took the time to leave a mark in more than one place. We didn't separate until Kenzi came back and pretended to be sick…
I don't remember the rest of the night just bits and pieces of it. I know we went to a restaurant so Kenzi could get chicken fingers and then everything is a bit blurry. There was a swing set, a roof and Kenzi's room. I remember having Bo by my side for every second of the night; if one of us drifted away to talk to someone or look at something the other quickly caught up and grabbed the other's hand. I laughed a lot with Kenzi and Bo; I swear they were separated at birth.
"It's not just one night you know." I said softly as we lay down on the bed on our sides facing each other. She looked confused so I explained myself.
"I'm not yours for just the night, I'm yours for as long as you'll have me.. That is if you want me to be yours. I know we just met a few days ago but I feel like I've known you longer than that." She leaned in and kissed me affectionately.
"I'll let you in on a secret, I feel the same way. And don't be silly of course I want you." I pulled her body closer to mine and sighed sleep beginning to take me. My eyes closed and I was almost asleep when I heard a whisper
"I'm yours for as long as you'll have me Lauren." I smiled gave her a slight squeeze before I let sleep overtake me.
~So what do you think? I was nervous about the last part because I was worried it was a bit soon for them to be this serious, but it felt right to me. With that said, I know this is a fluffy fic but there are going to be some bumps along the way because every real relationship has good and bad. Please review and let me know your thoughts and all that good stuff (or bad). Thanks!
P.S. the next update will be a lot longer!~
