Lauren and Bo were on the floor of the sitting area doing their respective work, well Lauren was, Bo was quite distracted. She was sitting in front of the couch with her back against it and Lauren laid on her stomach in front of her. She was scribbling down notes on her notepad and was completely oblivious to the fact that she was distracting Bo. Bo glanced at the screen of her laptop then back at Lauren, more specifically, her ass. She was wearing a pair of thin, flannel pajama pants, and unlike last night, Bo knew for a fact that she wasn't wearing any underwear underneath them. Just like she hadn't been wearing any under the dress that she had worn last night. Bo grinned. As soon as they had gotten into the apartment they were pulling off each other's clothes so that they could relieve the sexual tension that was between them. When Bo had seen that Lauren had forgone her underwear she took Lauren on the steps that led to their sleeping area.
As Bo reminisced about what happened last night her focus on her work disappeared. She closed her laptop and set it to the side then she crawled over to where Lauren was. Bo kissed the side of her neck and whispered, "Your ass is enticing in those pants."
Lauren let out a small chuckle then told her, "I'm working Bo. I'm working very hard. You should also be working." She looked up at the clock that was hanging on the wall above the TV. "And it's not even twelve yet. I said I needed three uninterrupted hours."
Bo let her hand slide down Lauren's back over the tank top that she was wearing and said, "But when I agreed to that I wasn't expecting to be tempted by your ass."
Lauren turned her head and looked at her. "Isabeau…."
Bo let out a soft hum as she kissed her shoulder then she murmured against it, "I love it when you say my name." She looked into Lauren's eyes and the two of them stared at each other for a few seconds then Lauren leaned in to kiss her. Bo smiled as she kissed Lauren back then she threaded her fingers through her hair and kept them there as the kiss deepened. A low moan escaped Lauren as Bo guided her back so that she was lying on the floor. Bo was on top of her and she let the kiss continue for another moment then she broke it. Bo kissed the underside of Lauren's jaw then down her neck.
Bo had one goal in mind and once she achieved it she was going to let Lauren go back to work. She sat up and Lauren was about to say something but Bo silenced her with a kiss. When she was certain that Lauren wasn't going to say anything about the interruption of their study date Bo sat up then moved so that she could pull off Lauren's pajama bottoms. Bo situated herself so that she was lying between Lauren's legs and she grinned when she saw the anticipation on her face.
Bo wasted no time in giving Lauren what she wanted and as soon as she had the delicate bundle of tissue and nerves in her mouth she teased it with the tip of her tongue which caused Lauren to gasp above her. It didn't take long for Lauren to come. Bo was familiar enough with her body that she knew what it would take to bring her to a quick orgasm and what she needed to do to bring her to a slow building one. However this one had been quicker than she had expected but Bo continued with her oral ministrations while she massaged the pliable flesh of Lauren's ass.
Bo teased Lauren's opening with the tip of her tongue then she slid it back up to the now prominent nub and gave it a firm suck. She repeated the process a couple of times then she buried her tongue deep inside Lauren. That was the thing that brought Lauren to her second orgasm and she breathed out Bo's name as she went through it. Bo stayed where she was for a moment then she gave Lauren's inner thigh a quick kiss before she sat up. Bo got Lauren's pajama bottoms and she tried her best to put them back on the still recovering woman. She went back to her spot in front of the couch and got her laptop. As she opened it she said, "Get back to work Lauren. And your ass better not distract me again." Lauren flicked her off as she laid there with her eyes closed. Bo chuckle then said, "I love you too Lo-Lo." Now that she had taken care of her distraction Bo dove back into her work with a smile on her face.
Lauren was in the university's research lab working as well as gathering some data for her PhD dissertation. As she was looking at a sample under the microscope she was starting to wonder why she had decided to get a PhD in bioengineering. Having a MD would have been enough. Lauren chuckled to herself. No it wouldn't have. Lauren's pocket began to vibrate and she stood up straight then took off her latex gloves. She pulled her phone out of her pocket and saw the text from Bo. "I'm not going to make it for lunch. Seminar ran late and I need to prepare for the one that I have tonight."
Lauren scowled at the phone for a second then sighed. The two of them had gotten little work done yesterday. After Bo had interrupted her note taking they had spent the rest of day pretending to do work while they had sex. It was fun but now one of them was paying for it. With Bo cancelling their lunch Lauren was going stay at the lab before she had to go to the practice. Lauren smirked at her phone as an idea came to her and before she cleaned up her workstation she sent Bo a text to find out where she was. When she read Bo's response she knew exactly where she was so she cleaned up then left the lab. Lauren made a quick stop at the deli to pick up lunch for her and Bo then headed to the library at Boston College. When Lauren arrived she pulled out her phone and called Bo. When the call was answered she asked, "Where are you at?"
Bo let out a tired sigh then told her, "I'm in the library Lauren."
Lauren frowned when she heard the strain in Bo's voice. She smiled a little and said, "I know Bo, but where are you in the library? I brought you lunch."
That seemed to have cheered Bo up a little because she sounded happier when said, "I'm on the second floor, back corner near the psychology section."
Lauren grinned and told her, "Okay. I'll see you in a few." She hung up the phone and headed for the stairs that went up to the second floor. She managed to find the psychology section then she found Bo sitting a table with her laptop, several books, and a pile of folders. Bo had a focused look on her face and she was wearing the glasses that she had just gotten six months ago which meant that her eyes were bothering her. Lauren approached the table and when she got to it she set down the bag of food then took off her coat. Bo smiled at her and said, "You didn't have to do this Lauren."
Lauren rolled her eyes and said, "Sure I didn't." She walked over to where Bo was sitting then stood behind her. She bent down and gave her cheek a kiss then whispered, "Have I mentioned how hot you are when you wear your glasses?"
Bo chuckled then looked up at her as she said, "I think once or twice." Lauren started to rub her shoulders and Bo groaned. "What are you doing?"
Lauren chuckled and told her, "I am taking care of the woman I love. She seems to be stressed out because she spent yesterday having sex with some woman."
Bo dropped her head to her chest as Lauren rubbed her neck and mumbled, "Yeah well that woman is a seductress and I was unable to keep my hands to myself."
Lauren grinned and remarked, "Seductress my ass. I know you Bo, you're an instigator."
Bo tilted her head back and looked up at her, "But there were no objections from you doctor."
Lauren smiled at her then leaned down and gave her a kiss. When she stood up she asked, "What are you working on?"
Bo sighed then told her, "Brain regions that are active during sexual response and how that coincides with each body part. It's one of my favourite subjects because there is this video I like to show where two people have various body parts stimulated and when they are it cuts to an MRI and shows the parts of the brain that are active. It's pretty fascinating."
Lauren smiled because she liked listening to Bo talk about her work. She went to get one of the other chairs that were at the table and moved it next to Bo. Lauren sat down and pulled the bag of food closer to her. As she pulled out the Styrofoam bowl that had Bo's cheddar broccoli soup in it she said, "Show me the video."
Bo chuckled and asked, "Don't you have studying or something to do?"
Lauren smirked at her as she handed Bo the Panini that she had gotten her. "At this moment…no I do not."
A sceptical look came to Bo's face and she asked, "What are you doing?"
Lauren took the lid off of her tomato bisque and she ate a spoonful of it then smiled at Bo. "I'm eating lunch with my fiancée. Is this a crime?"
Bo shook her head as she said, "No it isn't but I know there is something that you're probably obsessing about mentally."
Lauren laughed a little then told her, "Nope. There is nothing. It is a practice day and since I don't' have to be there until one I'm going to devote the next…" she looked at her watch, "hour or so to you." Lauren pointed at Bo's laptop. "Now show me the video."
Bo smiled at her for a moment then she leaned over and gave her a kiss. As she moved back she whispered, "Thank you."
Lauren grinned at her and said, "Don't thank me. Just eat your lunch and show me the video."
Bo unwrapped her sandwich and told her, "Nope because if I do then you won't show up for the seminar."
Lauren rolled her eyes. She was going to show up for the seminar no matter what because it was the least that she could do to show her support for Bo. She also liked seeing how excited Bo got when she was engaged in an academic setting. "You know I was going to be there regardless." She ate some soup then asked, "So what are we going to do while we eat?"
Bo held up her finger then she put down the half of sandwich that she had been holding and got on her laptop. Lauren's eyebrows furrowed as she wondered what she was up to. Bo moved the laptop so that Lauren had a better view of it and said, "We should get a house. I mean we've decided to stay in Boston at least through your residency so we should get a house and maybe a dog. A husky."
Lauren looked at the real estate website that Bo had pulled up. She was a little surprised that Bo had been thinking about getting a house. She had just gotten onboard with them staying in Boston. "When did you start thinking about houses? Also I like the apartment and we can get a dog if we stay in the apartment."
Bo nodded and said, "I know we can but I want something with a yard. We might be able to find something in Cambridge. Maybe Brookline." She began to search through the houses. "And ever since we talked about staying here through your residency I've been kicking around the idea and I mean if I take the position at Northeastern I don't see why we can't get a house."
Lauren regarded Bo as she continued to click through houses. She wasn't certain if she wanted to settle in Boston after her residency. It was a nice city and full of opportunity for both her and Bo but she wanted to move closer to their family. She sighed and said, "I don't know if I want to stay in Boston after my residency and if we want to start a family don't you want to be closer to our families? That way our kids will be closer to their grandparents and we have some extra help if we need it."
Bo grinned at Lauren and said, "Kids? As in more than one?"
Lauren gave Bo a playful stern look. "I'm trying to hold a serious discussion with you about buying a house and all you focus on was the fact that I said kids."
Bo chuckled a little then remarked, "Well you always blow the topic off so excuse me if I focus on that." She smiled and asked, "So when we decide to have kids you would like us to be closer to our families?"
Lauren nodded and said, "It makes sense. I mean I wouldn't like Matt to watch them but our parents would be a big help because what if we get caught up with something? Like I'm stuck at the hospital and you have to go to some function?"
"That's why they have babysitters Lauren," Bo pointed out with a grin on her face.
Lauren scowled at her. "I know they do but it's the principal of the matter here Bo."
Bo nodded in understanding and said, "I know it is but if this is the case then I can't take the position at Northeastern. I essentially become unhireable.
"Oh." That was all Lauren could say as she realised the complication of them moving closer to their family once she finished her residency. Bo wouldn't be able to get a steady teaching job because no one would want to sign a contract with someone who wasn't going to stick around for long. Lauren blew out a breath then muttered, "I really should just become a CPA. I enjoy numbers."
Bo took hold of her hand and chuckled. "But you wouldn't like it and then you would hate me. And I would like to remain on your good side for at least the first ten years of our marriage."
"Just the first ten?" Lauren wondered with a smile on her face.
Bo leaned over and gave her a quick kiss then said, "Yes, just the first ten because after that you'll have invested too much time to leave me. Also think of the children."
Lauren rolled her eyes and remarked, "We have to have said children first and if that's your plan we might have to hold off for ten years."
Bo chuckled and said, "Oh I have tactics to use against you doctor so you can try." She gave Lauren's hand a reassuring squeeze then asked, "So what are we going to do Mrs. Dennis?"
Lauren smiled at her future married name then she rested her head on Bo's shoulder. She was quiet a moment then she sighed. "I don't know Bo. I want you to take the Northeastern deal because it is a wonderful opportunity for you but at the same time do we really want to call Boston home and raise our family here?"
Bo kissed her forehead then sighed. "It is a conundrum. I could take it year by year with Northeastern but I don't know if they'll do that. They seem to be rather fond of me."
Lauren lifted her head and gave Bo a kiss then whispered, "But I'm very fond of you."
Bo smiled at her. "I know you are." She kissed Lauren then asked, "We've got what, an expected five years in Boston?" Lauren nodded. "Okay so how about this, I'll talk to Northeastern and tell them that I'll sign on for five years and at the end of that if we have decided that this is where we want to be then I will let them know that I would like a longer contract. If not then I'll let them know and we can move closer to our family."
Lauren looked into Bo's eyes as she thought about it. It was a solid plan with room for leeway. She smiled and said, "Sounds like a plan professor."
"I think so too doctor." She gave Lauren a kiss then she smiled at her. "Let's finish our lunch so you can go be doctor. I'll take you to dinner after the seminar."
Lauren picked up her sandwich then pointed at the laptop and said, "Let me see that video."
Bo chuckled told her, "Okay I will show you the video."
"And you're going to get all sexy professor for me?" Lauren asked before she took a bit of her sandwich.
Bo chuckled. "Of course I'm."
"Nice," Lauren said with a grin on her face.
Bo shook her head as she started the video that she was going to show at the seminar and Lauren kissed her cheek then laid her head on her shoulder while Bo went into professor mode.
Bo had worn her best suit for the hour long seminar that she was giving and even though it was a bit over the top she wanted to impress the dean of the psychology department. Bo puffed out her cheeks then blew out the breath in a staccato rhythm as she opened up the files and programs that she would need. Her mind wandered to the conversation that she and Lauren had earlier. Five years wasn't going to be desirable for the university but it was the best that she could do considering everything with Lauren. She wasn't going to sit around and do nothing for the next four years.
Bo sighed as she turned on the projector and adjusted its focus. Even if she did have her research and it was something would keep her occupied for awhile it wasn't teaching. She loved teaching and the amount of interest Northeastern was showing in her was something that she hadn't seen since Italy. An opportunity that she had given up for Lauren. Bo bit her bottom lip as she started to wonder if she would be able to give up another opportunity for Lauren. If she did she would be giving up tenure, a department that would invest in her, and so much more. Bo let out a frustrated breath. She didn't know what to do. She took a deep breath and focused on getting ready for the seminar. That was the only thing she was going to focus on. She would worry about the rest later.
An hour later the dean of the psychology department walked in before the seminar was set to start in twenty minutes and there was a tall man with her. Dean Johnson smiled at her and the two of them shared a quick hug as she said, "Professor Dennis, I would like for you to meet the president of Northeastern, Mark Allard."
Taken aback Bo shook the man's hand and said, "President Allard it is a pleasure to meet you."
The man smiled as she shook her hand. "Professor Dennis you don't have to be so professional. Call me Mark."
Bo nodded and told him, "Okay Mark, and you can call me Bo."
"Therese here is excited for me to see your seminar tonight because she has been ranting and raving about you work. I have to say that I am quite impressed. You have done admirable work at such a young age."
Bo blushed a little and remarked, "I owe it all to hard work. I found something that I really enjoy and it's a topic that covers an array of subjects," she chuckled, "which is why I went for my degree in sociology so I can talk about sex even more." The three of them shared a laugh then she added, "But being on the forefront of changing how we talk, and even think about sex, is something I want to be a part of."
Mark let out a small laughed then commented, "You are passionate about your work and it shows. I read the article you wrote last year, was it? The one about the sociological aspects contributing to sexual dysfunction?" He shook his head and said, "That was a thought provoking piece and how you tied in the social stigma of the disorder and the treatment was brilliant."
Bo tried not to blush harder but she had always been terrible at taking compliments, however, when it came to her work it was even harder for her to accept them because she always feared that someone would try to discredit her or her findings. Bo took a deep breath then grinned as she wondered, "So I'm guessing you're a fan then?"
Mark and Therese laughed and Bo laughed along with them. Mark caught his breath and nodded his head as he said, "Yes, yes I definitely have become a fan. Therese tells me you were doing some progressive work over in Italy but stepped down from it. May I ask why?"
Bo smiled at the man even though the bottom of her stomach had dropped out. She knew that her stepping down from the program in Italy would be something that loomed over her career but she had done so because it was adding more stress to her and Lauren's already stressful relationship. "To be honest Mark, I did it for my relationship."
Mark groaned then asked, "Don't tell me you did it because of your husband or boyfriend because I would have to say that would be surprising as it is disappointing. You were doing quite progressive work there."
Bo laughed and after she had caught her breath she told him, "Oh no. Goodness no. My fiancée, Lauren, she is a med student at Harvard and I knew that my position in Italy would eventually require me to be there permanently so I decided to step down rather than disrupt her training and education."
Mark nodded then he grinned as he said, "So because of your brilliant fiancée you are a free agent. I must thank her. Where is she? Also I apologise for being presumptuous sometimes even the most progressive of minds still harbour some old world thinking."
Bo liked Mark. He was a funny man who seemed to have a genuine interest in her and her work. "It's quite all right. Dean Johnson made the same assumption the other night and Lauren should be here tonight so I will introduce you to her once she gets here."
Mark smiled. "I can't wait to meet her. And you say she's at Harvard Medical School? Is this her last year? I hear it can be pretty brutal."
Bo chuckled a little then said, "If the fourth year is brutal then obviously no one has been involved with a third year med student."
"Third year?" Mark repeated and Bo nodded. He let out a deep chuckle then said, "Well I'm not one to talk but I know the third year is…" He let out a low whistle then said, "It's not a cakewalk. And you two are planning a wedding?"
Bo grinned and said, "Yeah, yeah we are but we're managing everything and our moms are helping."
Mark shook his head then an impressed look came to his face. "Damn you definitely have a full plate." He snapped his fingers then pointed at her. "I'm calling you Super Bo."
Bo groaned and said, "Please don't. It's bad enough my best friend calls me BD."
Mark laughed and said, "It's got a ring to it and I'll try not to but in all seriousness Bo, Northeastern is ready to make you their star sex expert." He reached into his jacket pocket then extended out his business card. "Call my office so we can set up a proper appointment and we can talk about your hopes, dreams, and aspirations.
Bo took the card and smiled at him as she said, "I definitely can't wait. Thank you Mark, Therese, this is almost as big as my offer in Italy."
Mark held up a finger and said, "I'm hoping to go bigger but we'll talk when you set up that appointment. Right now, tonight is your night and I'm excited for this seminar."
Bo gave a gracious nod and smiled. "Of course. Thank you again." Mark and Therese walked away from her and Bo drew in a slow, deep breath before she walked over to the table that was next to lectern. The president of the university wanted her to teach there and so did the dean of the psychology department. If she hadn't been in a huge lecture hall that was slowly filling with people she would have probably squealed in excitement but she maintained her professional veneer then picked up her phone to text Lauren. "Just met the president of the university and he's a fan of the professor. Wow. And he really wants me to join the staff. This is a big night. Where are you?"
Bo set her phone down then she picked up her water bottle and took a drink from it. She wasn't nervous because once she was in her element she was going to start going a mile a minute but the excitement of joining the faculty at Northeastern had her on edge. Her phone buzzed on the lectern and she picked it up. "I just walked in and I'm headed that way. So excited for you Bo. And who isn't a fan of the professor?"
Bo grinned at the message. Lauren liked to make fun of her when she was around other people for them academic community. She always claimed that Bo had a certain charm that no one could resist when she was using big words. Bo looked up at the entrance for the hall and waited to see Lauren. Bo chuckled. Lauren was probably going to be all flustered because she had raced to get here on time. Even though Bo had told her it was okay if she was late but Lauren had been determined to be there on time. When the woman came walking through the doorway she met Bo's gaze and for a moment it felt like the world had stopped. Lauren smiled at her then she made her way down the stairs to get to the front of the lecture hall. Bo met her in front of the lectern and the two of them shared a brief kiss then she asked, "When did you have time to change?"
Lauren scoffed then told her, "I barely had time to change. A toddler and his mother came into the practice and he has a bad case of the flu. He threw up on me." Bo pressed her lips together to prevent herself from laughing but Lauren knew that she wanted to laugh and she scowled at her. "It's not funny Bo. I think I'm scarred emotionally and I don't want to have kids anymore."
Bo chuckled and rolled her eyes. "Oh stop being dramatic." She took hold of Lauren's hand and gave it a gentle tug as she said, "Come ,let me introduce you to the president of the university."
As they walked over to where Mark and Therese were sitting Bo heard a small chuckle come from Lauren. Then she mumbled under her breath, "I should embarrass you."
Bo shook her head and when they were closer to Mark she said, "Mark, I would like you to meet my fiancée, Lauren Lewis. You may be hearing about her in a year or two when she takes the medical world by storm."
Bo grinned as Lauren's cheeks pinked up a bit. She knew that she embarrassed Lauren when she raved about her but she was proud of her and was excited about where she was headed. Lauren shook Mark's hand and said, "I'm certain it will be longer than two years considering I'm still in my third year of medical school."
Mark chuckled and told her, "I'm not certain about that. Some people are just smart like that and you should take every opportunity to show it off. It is a pleasure to meet you Lauren. I have to say that I am a huge fan of your fiancée's work. I read the article she published last year and it was-"
"Amazing," Lauren said as she cut the man off then she went off about it. "She had written it in Italy while she was doing some work for a study on sexual dysfunction and I was blown away by it. I mean we all know about the psychological aspect but combining with that societal pressures and stigmas was something I don't think anyone would think about."
Mark chuckled then said to Bo, "She's a fan too?"
Bo grinned and wrapped her arm around Lauren's waist. "She's my biggest fan."
"So she is on board with you joining us here at Northeastern?" Mark asked with an excited smile on his face.
Before Bo could give the man a vague answer Lauren looked at her and asked, "So they're okay with you signing a five year contract?"
Mark laughed a little then said, "A five year contract? I wouldn't offer her just a five year contract. Bo is an academic star in the making. People would come from all around the world just to her speak and talk about her research. Kids would love to take a class from her. I'm thinking a ten year contract with perks."
Lauren looked at Bo and Bo realised that she needed to say something before this entire conversation got out of control. She gave Lauren's hand a squeeze and said, "Mark we still have to have an in-depth discussion which I will need to talk to Lauren about so let's not get ahead of ourselves quite yet."
Mark gave a slight nod and said, "This is true but Lauren you would have to agree that she would be a fool to not take this right? I know you're a med student but Boston is home to Mass Gen which is one of the best hospitals in the country. It would be a win-win for you both."
Lauren gave a polite chuckle then said, "I would agree, but we do need to talk about it."
The man held up his hand in concession and said, "I understand and I get it. I will pitch no more tonight."
Bo and Lauren both chuckled then Bo said, "I have to get ready for the seminar." She kissed Lauren's cheek. "Have a seat here."
Lauren gave her a quick kiss then smiled at her. Bo could see in her eyes that there was a fight brewing beneath the surface and it was going to be a rough one but despite all that Lauren said, "I love you."
Bo returned the smile and said, "I love you too." She left Lauren to talk with Mark and Therese while she headed for the front of the lecture hall. She was going to take her time with the seminar and drag it out as long as possible because Bo knew once she and Lauren got home it was not going to be a good conversation.
Lauren sat in the living room drinking a glass of wine as she looked at the fire that she had started in the fire place. A ten year contract meant ten years in Boston. That would be her residency; her training in her specialty; and then her becoming damn good at her specialty. On top of that there would be who knows how many kids. This would be their home. Lauren heard the shower upstairs turn off and she sighed. She and Bo had yet to talk about what happened at the seminar. By all accounts the seminar had been a success and Bo was pumped for the next two. President Allard had more than enjoyed Bo's presentation and he was going to be at the next two seminars as well. As he was leaving he had told Bo that he was going to wear her down until she said yes. Lauren sighed. Another curveball for their relationship.
She saw Bo look over the railing of their bedroom and she said in a loud enough voice, "Ten years?"
Bo sighed then walked away from the railing. Lauren shook her head and prepared herself for the discussion that was about to happen. It was going to be an intense one. After several minutes Bo came downstairs wearing a tank top and a pair of sweat pants. She headed into the kitchen and said, "I don't know Lauren. I still need to have a serious discussion with Mark about all of this then make a decision."
"A decision that you will, no doubt, come to on your own," Lauren remarked with thinly veiled sarcasm.
Bo was quiet a moment then she remarked, "We're not going down that road because I have apologised for it and I'm not going to apologise again." She sighed. "You know we're going to talk about this Lauren, but I can't pass this up. I gave up Italy because it wasn't working for us but saying no to this wouldn't be smart. It's too good of an opportunity and I would like to think that you would realise that." She walked into the living room and stood in front of the couch. "You know I love to teach. I love my research and everything but my passion is teaching. I want to have tenure and I want to be able to settle down and have a base. I don't want to spend the next four, five years sitting on my ass waiting to see what you do after residency."
"And what if I want to move or I get offered a position at a hospital Bo?"
Bo took a deep breath then took a sip from the wine glass that she was holding. She lowered the glass and said, "I would like to think that you would do for me the same things that I have done for you."
Lauren gawked at Bo for a moment then she let out a small noise that was a mix between a chuckle and a scoff. "I never asked for you to do any of that. You made your own choices, Bo."
It was Bo's turn to scoff. "Sure I did." She ran her hand through her damp hair then looked at Lauren with an incredulous expression on her face. "I love you Lauren do you not understand what that means?"
Lauren's eyebrow went up. "Yes, Bo, I do know what that means."
Bo shook her head and said, "No. No you don't because if you did you wouldn't say that any choice I've made since I've met you has been my own. Any choice that I have made, since I've met you, has revolved around us." Bo tucked her hand under her arm and tilted her head. "But what about you Lauren? What have you done?"
Lauren leaned forward and placed her glass on the coffee table. "Are you saying I haven't done anything for our relationship Bo?"
Bo stared at her for a second then she relaxed her posture and took a deep breath. Lauren knew that she was trying to get her emotions under control so she sat back against the couch and did the same. They were about to cross that line where the both of them got mean and said things that would only hurt the other. Bo sighed then said in an even tone, "That's not what I'm saying Lauren. I'm just asking for you to do this one thing for me, that's all."
Lauren regarded Bo for a moment then she looked up at the ceiling. She blew out a breath then got up from the couch and walked over to Bo. Lauren took her wine and placed it on the coffee table then she looked at Bo. Lauren saw the slight frown on her face and there was worry in her eyes but she had nothing to worry about. Lauren took hold of her face then gave her a kiss. It was deep, full of love, and held a promise. A promise that Lauren would do everything possible to make sure Bo was happy and achieving her dreams.
Lauren pulled away and as she looked into Bo's eyes she said, "You foolish woman I was going to tell you that you should do it no matter what." She ran the pad of her thumb over Bo's cheek. "You have dreams and aspirations too, Bo and all this self-sacrificing has been a pain in my ass." They chuckled then she said, "So I was going to say yes and tell you to do it." Lauren gave her another kiss. "I'm sorry for arguing. I'm just worried because we want a family and we want our careers but who's going to raise our kids? I thought us moving closer to the family would help out with that."
Bo nodded and said, "We'll work something out. We've got a long ways before we have to start thinking about kids." She grinned. "We have to have to get married first."
Lauren rested her head on Bo's shoulder then buried her face in her neck as Bo's arms wrapped around her. She took a deep breath then sighed. "Yeah we do."
Bo kissed the side of her head and she was quiet a moment before she asked, "It's final then, we're calling Boston home?"
Lauren drew in another deep breath then nodded her head. She pulled back and smiled at her. "Yeah, let's call this home."
Bo got a small smirk on her face then she gave Lauren a soft kiss which lasted for a few seconds. She pulled back and said, "I love you."
"I love you too."
Bo kissed her again then she moved away from her and said, "Let's watch a movie and while we do that we can start looking at houses."
Lauren chuckled and told her, "No terrible foreign romances." Bo grinned at her and she gave her a playful scowl before she walked back to the couch. Lauren and Bo's future would be set for the next ten years. It was something that Lauren was okay with. Their life wouldn't be mundane because she would be too busy practicing medicine and becoming the best doctor possible and Bo would be busy getting her dream job up and running. It was a win for the both of them and anything that would come their way they would deal with it just like they had been doing for the last two years.
These two are doing the most right now but I still like them so I'll keep writing the story lol. So...ten years? Eek.
