Chapter 2: Impending Dour Awareness
Raku's Apartment
The love making is slow and sensual, perfectly executed. Raging passions pour from the entangled pair. Messy locks of hair are tossed around as the excited lovers become more and more aroused. Short manicured nails blissfully rack across a feminine yet well-toned back. Low moans circulate through the air as slender fingers pump in and out of a welcoming cove. The rhythmic pumping stops momentarily as the lovers enjoy a deep and satisfying kiss.
A deep and satisfying kiss that grows so intense, the pair can barely breathe. Breathless and still wanting more of each other, the lovers' passion reaches an extreme high. The two women are forced to take a break. They stare breathlessly into each other's eyes, baring their souls to each other without uttering a solitary word.
Their chests rise and fall. Their lips part. The pair appear to be in a near trance-like state. Their mouths begin to move as if they are trying to speak to each other but no words come out. Despite their desperate tries to communicate with each other, the lovers remain lost in each other's eyes as deafening silence surrounds them.
Entranced and missing each other's touch so incredibly much, the two beautiful women begin their sultry tango again. Fingertips wonder about the wanting bodies of each other. Bo never imagined ever experiencing a love so profound, a love that leaves her completely unraveled, exposed, and sated.
The lovers are once again consumed by overflowing passion. Bo's body is begging for release and her body begins to shake and convulse as she screams out her lover's name with a thundering roar.
"LAUREN!"
The thundering roar of Bo' own screaming out of the doctor's name startles her awake. Her eyes fly open and she immediately realizes the blindfold and gag have been removed. She looks around and quickly realizes she is still being held captive. Her only tie to Lauren is through her vivid, erotic dreams.
Raku doesn't hear Bo's scream through the sound proof walls but glides into the room where she's holding Bo for a routine check. She takes notice that Bo is still securely restrained. Raku is turned on by Bo's breathless and disheveled appearance which elicits a sinister smirk on Raku's face. Bo is disgusted by her reaction but remains convinced that she can utilize Raku's attraction to outsmart her.
Bo uses the fresh presence of Lauren's sultry image in her mind to conjure up an expression of longing on her face. She hopes that it'll be just enough to begin to drop her captor's cautious guard.
Raku is dressed in her usual come hither attire. The raven haired vixen slinks over towards Bo, imagining what it will feel like to claim Bo's lips again. As she gets closer, Bo intensifies her gaze upon Raku. She rakes her eyes across as much of her jailor's body as she can see from her restrained position.
The raven haired seductress stops dead in her tracks to take in the sight of Bo. She silently praises herself for removing the blindfold and allowing herself to be gifted with the sight of Bo's beautiful chocolate brown eyes. For a moment, she feels a twinge of remorse for holding this beautiful woman here against her will. She quickly dismisses the slight hint of remorse from her mind and continues to slither her way over to Bo's restrained body.
Bo wonders what Raku has planned for her. She wonders how long this crazed woman intends to hold her hostage. Panic suddenly strikes Bo and she blurts out.
"Oh my god! What time is it?"
Bo has been so drowsy from the drug Raku injected into her this morning that she has been completely unaware of the actual passage of time. The drug coupled with the windows of this room being walled over with cement has left Bo totally in the dark about the time of day.
"Doesn't seem like you'll be going anywhere any time soon My Love." Raku says in a creepy, almost whisper.
"But since I'm such a courteous hostess, I'll tell you anyway. It's almost 5:00. "
A look of sheer disappointment spreads across Bo's face when the stark realization that Lauren and her friends will soon be gathering at her and Kenzi's apartment sets in.
"Oh come on Bo, why are you so glum? I'm standing right here but you have such a distant and faraway look in your eyes." Raku says, taking steps closer to Bo.
Bo is disgusted but tries to maintain composure of her facial expression. She tries to pretend to be unaffected by the harsh reality that she is confined to Raku's bed while her beloved and their friends prepare themselves for the unknowing heartache that will arise from her absence.
"You never could appreciate what was standing right in front of you. Your own lack of appreciation has led to this little situation you're currently dealing with." Raku says as she waves her open hand above Bo.
"If you would have just appreciated me Bo, taken me and loved me, things would be so different."
"If I were able to speak my mind right freely now, I'd be absolutely speechless. How and why was I ever attracted to such a lunatic?" Bo contemplates with great sorrow.
Raku stands a mere inches from Bo and continues her crazed monologue.
"We could have been good together but you had to run off and fall in love with that fucking doctor. What does she have that I don't, huh Bo?" Raku's voice becomes higher pitched and angry with each word she speaks.
"Because she's more of a woman than you'll ever be and far less crazy!" Bo shouts in her mind.
Bo wants to yell at Raku and really share what's on her mind but she tries her best to remain calm. If Raku is capable of capturing her, what would she do to Lauren and Kenzi? These questions and thoughts race around in Bo's mind.
"Bo, you'll never be enough for her. She comes from class and privilege and you come from…well… nothing. But that didn't matter to me. I always accepted you the way you were and didn't expect you to change."
For a moment, a glimpse of the old Bo creeped in to battle Bo for dominance. For a moment, Bo began to buy into Raku's words but she doesn't allow the Bo she used to be to rise up and defeat her.
Raku searches Bo's face for a reaction but she doesn't get the response she is looking for. Instead a neutral, nearly sympathetic expression meets Raku's demented eyes.
"You're probably wondering how I know so much. You're probably dying to know how I pulled this off. But hey, a girl can never tell all her secrets."
Raku continues to watch Bo, monitoring her to gauge her reactions.
"Looks like your plan to spend a glorious night with the great Dr. Lauren Lewis and your little gang of followers won't be happening after all."
Bo is seething on the inside and she can't control her reaction to Raku's mention of Lauren's name which doesn't go unnoticed by Raku. Satisfied to finally be getting a rise out of Bo, Raku digs deeper.
"Well it's all your fault. When you so easily dismissed me that day we met for the dinner that never happened, I had to think of a way to get you to see things my way Bo. You don't need the good doctor My Precious One. You need me."
An instantly Bo realizes that her captor is more deluded than she initially imagined.
"How in the hell am I ever going to get myself out of this one?" is the last thought racing across Bo's mind as she watches her captor flick the end of the needle with her manicured nail. Helpless, Bo anticipates the sting of the needle in her arm.
The beautiful brunette's eyes flutter as she tries hard to keep them open. Her eye lids loose the battle against the concoction of Raku's syringe and her eyes slam shut.
"My Precious One, you always looked so beautiful and at peace in my bed."
Raku busies herself around the room, stopping every once and a while to admire Bo's sleeping form.

Sleek - Downtown Boutique
Lauren and Sylvia have spent the afternoon searching for the perfect outfit for tonight. Lauren is a bundle of anxiety riddled nerves. Although highly skilled at assisting her patients with safely regulating their own anxieties and mood, the brilliant doctor is totally unskilled at handling her own anxiety. Lauren has dragged Sylvia to nearly every boutique downtown. Sylvia has lost count of how many they have been to but nevertheless she remains by Lauren's side.
"What about this?" Sylvia says holding up a long, flowing and super low cut sea green colored dress. "It screams take me now, I'm all yours" Sylvia adds, giggling.
"No, it's not what I had in mind."
"What do you have in mind? Lauren, we've been to tons of boutiques and you haven't liked anything."
Lauren can tell her friend is becoming slightly irritated. She also knows that Sylvia's loyalty to her will prevent her from leaving her side, which makes Lauren feel a little guilty.
"I'm fine if you want to get home and start getting ready. I'll find something."
Lauren is enjoying her friend's company but wants to be mindful of Sylvia's time. It's getting late and she knows they are pressed for time.
Sylvia always adores her time with Lauren too. She's so thankful of how close they have become especially after Lauren and Bo got together.
"No, no, Lauren, no. Of course I'll stay with you. I'm not leaving your side until we find the fashion ensemble of your dreams."
Sylvia flashes Lauren a wide, bright smile before grabbing her friend and pulling her into a tight embrace. The two friends enjoy the warmth of each other. During the warm hug, Lauren gazes over Sylvia's shoulder and the most amazing piece of fashion she's seen all day catches her light brown eyes. Lauren abruptly breaks free from the hug and a startled Sylvia is clueless as to what's happening.
"What is it Lauren?" Sylvia inquires, inquisitively.
"Oh my! I've found it. I've found what I've been looking for all day!"
"My date for tonight!" Sylvia jokes as Lauren tears her way across the boutique.
Sylvia is happy to see her friend so enthusiastic. She's never known Lauren to ever get this excited about anything. Lauren's friend is elated that Bo has brought the brilliant blonde doctor so much joy.
Sylvia follows Lauren across the store towards the object of her friend's fashion desire.

Bo and Kenzi's Apartment
Kenzi is standing on the balcony excitedly babbling on her mobile phone. She's dressed in pajama bottoms and a fitted graphic screen tee. Her hair is pulled back into a messy, half pony tail.
"Oh come on Trickster! I don't wanna hear any crap about how busy you are. At least meet us here at the apartment. Bo would love to see ya. And you'd get to see our fancy ass pad and BoBo's new hottie. Her new doctor hottie."
Fitzpatrick has not seen Bo and Kenzi in a while and is contemplating joining the gang to support Bo and celebrate her recent accomplishments.
"Yo Trickster! You still here?"
Fitzpatrick smiles into the phone. He can sense the glee and happiness in Kenzi's voice and it makes him feel even more proud of Bo and Kenzi.
"I'm still here Kenzi, just taking it all in. You've certainly said a mouthful."
"Well, you know old habits die hard and all. So Trickster, will we see you later? Like around 8?"
"I wouldn't miss it Kenzi. I look forward to it." Fitzpatrick states in an eloquent tone.
"Coolio Trickster! See you later dude! And don't worry about your bar tonight. Put that Tamsin chick in charge. I'm sure it'll be just fine."
Fitzpatrick lets out a throaty chuckle. He always admired Kenzi's ability to trigger laughter from everyone she interacts with. He ends the call and begins to make arrangements with Tamsin to cover the bar for the night.
After hanging up with Fitzpatrick, Kenzi begins to worry about Bo. Night fall is fast approaching and she hasn't heard from her all day. Earlier she was convinced that she and Lauren were still "banging lady bits" but after she received a text from Sylvia stating she was spending the afternoon with Lauren to help her shop, her hypothesis was blown to pieces. Every time her mind wanders to thoughts that involve Bo panicking and leaving town, she dismisses them. But as time passes, Kenzi becomes more and more concerned about her best friend's whereabouts.
"Bo, I will kill you with my bare hands if you're off doing something stupid!" Kenzi shouts as she walks back into the apartment.
Kenzi has sent a couple of text messages and is not happy that she hasn't received a response. This reminds Kenzi of the sort of behavior Bo used to display when she went on her sex, booze, and drug binges. Kenzi begins to panic but she doesn't want to alarm their friends. Kenzi imagines tonight being a spectacular celebration for Bo. She imagines a gathering of friends to ring in a new beginning for both her and Bo. She decides not to let her imagination defeat her so Kenzi struts towards her closet and begins piecing together what she will wear tonight. As she scurries around her closet, tossing items of clothing around, she desperately tries to suppress the thoughts in the back of her mind that tonight won't turn out exactly as she's planned.

Lauren's Place
The doctor is extremely satisfied with her purchase. She parades around her apartment in utter bliss. Lauren pours herself a glass of wine and tries to relax a little before she starts getting ready. After the second glass of wine, her mind obsessively thinks of Bo. She silently reprimands herself for ever doubting that she and Bo could and should freely love each other.
She makes her way over to her sofa and reminisces once more about her and Bo's passionate night last night and their love making this morning. Lauren's memories slowly drift back to her and Bo's first heavenly encounter in her office. Her body tingles at the sexy thoughts. Lauren senses her body becoming even more aroused as she allows her right hand to trail its way down her stomach and slip under her loose fitting cotton skirt. She slides her hipster boy cut briefs over, allowing her slender fingers direct contact with her slick center. Her nipples harden and press against her fitted strappy tank top.
Lauren pleasures her wanting knob as thoughts and memories of her beautiful lover invade her mind. Her self-ministrations and vivid imagery of Bo collide in a heated explosion of release.
The beautiful blonde tosses her head back in satisfaction. Her body takes a moment to calm. She continues to be amazed at the affect Bo has on her. A goofy grin forms at the corners of her mouth. Lauren closes her eyes for a moment, enjoying the after effects of her self-induced orgasm. No amount of self-pleasure could ever compare to Bo's actual hands upon her but Lauren's release takes the edge off of her anxious feelings.
Lauren sinks deeper into the sofa in an attempt to relax further. She can feel herself fading away but opens her eyes quickly as she feels a sinking sensation of panic in her chest. The gorgeous woman is alarmed and jolts up on the sofa. She can't explain it logically but Lauren can't shake the eerie feeling that she has just experienced. In an effort to thwart off the uneasiness, she walks up the stairs to her bedroom and begins to prepare for tonight.

Raku's Apartment
Raku has finished making a few adjustments to Bo's room accommodations. She smiles at her handiwork and in her demented mind Raku is hopeful that Bo will enjoy the amenities she will soon awaken to.
Raku had only given Bo a very small dose of the sedative this time, just enough to allow Raku a little time to make her modifications.
Raku continues to feel justified in her actions. She kisses Bo lightly on the lips, savoring their softness and reveling in the sweetness of Bo's breathe.
"I wish things could have been different Bo but in life we just have to take the cards we're dealt. I hope you like the surprise." Raku whispers.
Raku watches Bo's body as it twitches a bit before she exits the room. Bo's forcibly induced sleep brings her into contact with the woman her of desire. In her dreams, she will spend the night with Lauren. In her dreams she is not being held in captivity by her deranged ex. In her dreams, she is lying peacefully in Lauren's arms.
"I love you Lauren." Whispers Bo in her current state of temporary unconsciousness.
End Note: I hope you all enjoyed. Buckle up and prepare for the ride. More to come…
