A/N : So I thought I'd just continue with the story and the general idea I had in my head and see where it leads me. Guess it won't be a one shot after all. It'll be a TWO SHOT! Lol!
Thanks for stopping by and reading. But most of all, thanks for the reviews. It means a lot to me. Also, in case you didn't figure it out yet, the song in chapter 1 was by Imagine Dragons entitled Every Night. I love music and it inspires me to write. I do fanvids as well. You can check out my YouTube channel under Zoie Lewis. One of my mottos is "Music makes life better."
Oh and a special shout out to somewhataddicte for her feedback on this. Thank you, Dr L!
Last but not least, still no beta. All mistakes are mine. I am not a writer, fyi. If I mixed up some facts from the show and from the real world, my bad. Hehe. Now, let's continue shall we?
p/s: How bout that song ZP posted on twitter, huh? Stay With Me by Sam Smith. Nice one.

The time was close to midnight. The air was cold and crisp. The moon was shining brightly. You could see the silhouette of Lauren's angelic features being highlighted by the moonlight.
"She's so beautiful. Just like an angel. No. Angels have nothing on her."
"Yep. I have never seen anyone or anything as beautiful and captivating as her," Bo thought to herself. "Why did I ever let her go?"
Lauren and Bo were still staring at each other. Getting lost in each other's eyes when the sound of a tin can getting knocked over behind them in the alley and a cat meowing filled the air and broke their connection.
Lauren blinked rapidly and smoothed down the imaginary wrinkles of her shirt. She was wearing her white buttoned down one with grey pants that accentuated her curves in all the right places. She had forgotten her jacket inside the Dahl and was now starting to feel the cold air hit her with a slight shiver of her body.
Bo noticed and offered her jacket. "Hey, are you cold?"
Lauren blinked. She had heard Bo's voice but couldn't say anything in response; her throat suddenly going dry. She was getting pulled back into those dark brown eyes again.
"Here, take my jacket. I don't need it. Had a few rounds of Buckthorn earlier, so I'm good." She said then took it off and handed it over to the blonde.
"That and the way I get so sweaty and the way my temperature rises just by being around you helps too," she thought to herself while trying to hide her sweaty palms by bringing her arms to her chest crossing them.
Finally registering what the Succubus had said earlier, the doctor gave a small smile and accepted the offer,"Thanks, Bo."
"Always the gentleman," she thought to herself. She put the jacket on, immediately feeling the warmth of the clothing, part from the fact that Bo was wearing it just moments ago and part from it being Bo's jacket. A small curve of her lips making its way into a smile.
She zipped up the jacket making the action the only sound audible at that moment as both women were surprisingly silent. The blonde doctor then pointed upwards, signalling for Bo to look up; trying to remove the awkward silence currently surrounding them.
She cleared her throat. "If you look up to your right, just right there," she pointed towards the sky. "You can see the Big Dipper. Do you know the story behind the name?"
"Erm.. No?" Bo lied. All she wanted was to hear the blonde's voice.
The blonde chuckled. Bo could be so adorable sometimes when she gives you that look. That look of feigned innocence mixed with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"Really now?" the blonde asked not convinced.
"Yep." She gave her award winning smile that brought out her dimple. That dimple that was just begging to be kissed.
"Hmmmm..." the blonde replied.
"That dimple will be the death of me one day," Lauren thought to herself.
Shaking her head to settle down some rising urges of her own, the blonde started to speak again.
"Well, the Big Dipper, also known as the Plough or the Saptarishi isn't actually a constellation. Most people don't realise that. It is actually an asterism of seven stars that has been recognized as a distinct grouping in many cultures from time immemorial. The component stars are the seven brightest of the actual constellation which is the Ursa Major which means Large Bear. The Big Dipper got its name from simply resembling a large ladle."
As she finished her explanation, she noticed Bo giving her a goofy grin.
Bo on the other hand hadn't registered a word the doctor had said except for "large ladle."
"I love it when you geek out."
Lauren couldn't help but roll her eyes and blush at the comment.
"And here I thought I was immune to your charm by now," she said jokingly.
"I could kiss that jaw like there's no tomorrow. Hmmm... The things I could do to you, my fine, fine ass doctor.." Bo thought to herself, unconsciously licking her lips.
"So it's getting a bit chilly outside," Lauren said suddenly getting nervous at Bo's actions and feeling the slight flutter in her stomach return. "Do you want to head on back inside?" the blonde asked noticing the goose bumps on Bo's arms who was too busy raking her eyes all over the blonde's body.
"Ehem.." Lauren cleared her throat which made Bo snap out of her naughty thoughts.
"Erm.. What? What was that?" Bo asked realising that she had been caught ogling the blonde doctor. She was getting hungry. And she wasn't hungry for food.
"I asked you whether you wanted to go back inside."
"Got to love those pants. Damn she looks so good right now." Bo was drifting off again. The Succubus in her was trying to get out.
Lauren couldn't help but stifle a laugh at the way the brunette was staring at her ass right now.
"Bo, are you okay?"
"You seem a little... distracted," the blonde said with a smirk.
"Huh? Erm... No. No. Yeah, I'm fine." the brunette replied feeling a little heat starting to rise in her cheeks from being caught ogling again.
"Get it together," she mentally scolded herself.
"What's your sign?" Bo asked, shaking her head trying to stay focussed on what she came out here to do.
"Excuse me?" the blonde asked startled by the brunette's question.
"I know I don't know much about the sciencey stuff that you do and all, but I do know a thing or two about stars," Bo revealed.
"You do?"
"Haha. Yes. As a matter of fact I do."
"Oh. So you lied about not knowing the origin behind the Big Dipper then." Lauren said with a smirk knowing she had caught the brunette.
"Erm... Okay okay. I admit it." Bo said while gesturing with her hands to show defeat. "I just wanted to hear your geek speak again. It's always so... refreshing." she said with a wiggle of her eyebrows.
Lauren had to roll her eyes. The Succubus was being playful tonight.
"Okay. So let's see now. Your birthday's June the 5th, right? So.. that makes you a Gemini! Okay, let's see if I can find them twins." Bo said, suddenly getting all excited. Lauren had to laugh at Bo's determination. Her face was all scrunched up looking at the sky trying to pinpoint the exact location of the constellation.
"Bo.."
Bo ignored her and continued, "My pa and I.. "
"Your pa?" Lauren asked, her eyebrow arched.
"Yeah my DAD and I.. " Bo replied shaking her head, chuckling.
"There goes that dimple again."
"C'mon." she playfully swatted Lauren's arm. "Are you gonna let me finish my story or what?"
The doctor laughed. "Yes.. Yes... Go on and tell me the rest of the story, my little country bumpkin," she joked.
"Haha. That's so funny I forgot to laugh." the brunette pretended to be offended.
"So anyway, as I was saying.. My dad and I used to stargaze every Sunday back home. We'd set up the telescope out front and he'd map out the sky for me. We used to sit for hours at a stretch just looking up and soaking life in. It was one of my fondest memories of my childhood. It was perfect until Kyle happened." the Succubus went quiet for a while trying to erase the bad memory from her thoughts.
"Bo. What happened with Kyle wasn't your fault. You know that." the doctor said trying to comfort her as she moved a step closer to the brunette.
"Yeah, I know. I wished I knew it back then but.. wait! There it is!" she pointed excitedly to her left.
"There. Right there. I'm sure those are the twins. Yep. I knew it. Still got it. Neil Armstrong ain't got nothin' on me" Bo said proudly.
"Hmm... Yep. You're right if you wanted to show me the Cancer constellation," the doctor said while laughing.
"What? No way.. " Bo said squinting her eyes trying to get a better look. Maybe someone had a little too much Buckthorn.
"I was sure those were the twins. Gemini lies between Taurus to the west and Cancer to the east, with Auriga and Lynx to the north and Monoceros and Canis Minor to the south." the brunette said while still trying to make out the shape of the stars together.
"Now who's the geek?" the blonde chuckled in turn making Bo blush.
"Yeah yeah.. Just because I'm a Succubus doesn't mean I can't stargaze. I'm not all about the sex you know. And I have yet to receive a complaint," she said playfully with one hand planted on her hip. "I always loved to look up into the sky wondering if there was life on other planets back then. I still do sometimes. Now here I am engulfed in the world of fae. And I'm a Succubus. And my grandfather is a Blood Sage. Ha! Talk about irony. Me wondering about aliens and here I am one."
"Guess I didn't have to look so far."
"Oh Bo. You know I didn't mean anything by it. And you're not an alien. You're fae. Being fae is way better than being an alien. Besides, you are technically almost right." she said trying to lighten up the mood. She moved to stand behind Bo and took her hand into hers. She then guided Bo's hand towards the right a bit. Bo gulped. Being this close and touching the doctor again was doing nothing to appease her growing need to claim the doctor.
"You see those stars there? Those are Castor and Pollux. The two brightest stars of the Gemini constellation. The easiest way to locate Gemini is to find them eastward from the familiar "V" shaped asterism of Taurus and the three stars of Orion's belt."
"Now THAT is the Gemini constellation." the blonde said pointing to a specific location in the sky. She then moved to stand at her original position by the wall and leaned back, the closeness and her touch instantly being missed by the brunette.
"You were just off by... Oh I don't know... A couple hundred light years?" the doctor said in a serious tone to a once again goofy grinning Bo oblivious to the doctor who was in straight up geek mode.
Bo hummed. "The things she does to me," the silly grin now turning into a loving gaze.
"And to the right is Taurus. Wow. It really is a beautiful night tonight," the doctor said while looking upwards at the black sky.
"Yep. Beautiful. Just perfect." the brunette said while looking intently at the blonde.
Feeling the intense gaze, the blonde turned her head to look at her admirer and smiled widely.
"What's with you tonight?" she asked while playfully swatting Bo's arm.
"Oh nothing. Just realised something that I should've realised a long time ago." Bo said while continuing to stare lovingly at Lauren.
"You know, I don't think I've ever told you how beautiful your eyes really are. They have tiny specks in them that look like stars."
"Funny, you said the same exact thing when you were infected by that parasite that Vex got from The Morrigan," Lauren said while trying to hide her blush by looking at her shoes.
"I did?"
"Yep." She looked back up again. Right before you took my stethoscope and nearly made me deaf by shouting into it, SPILL ON AISLE THREE! SPILL ON AISLE THREE!" Lauren replied while making gestures with her hands trying to re-enact the whole incident.
Bo had to laugh at the doctor's actions. "I did that? Oh geez.. I'm sorry, Lauren." Bo said with a slight giggle.
"It's okay, Bo. No harm done." she dismissed it then sighed. A look of longing suddenly appearing on her face.
"You making me deaf was the least of my problems back then." she thought to herself.
Noticing the blonde's sudden look of lost; Bo tried to reel her back into the present.
"Well.. If kid me thought you were attractive then..." she said with a slight flirty tone to her voice. " I'd have to agree with her. She has excellent taste. I can totally vouch for that."
Bo walked closer to the blonde and then slightly nudged her shoulder to prompt the blonde to look at her and pointed upwards towards the midnight sky. "No matter how many stars I see up there, none of them could compare to the beauty of your eyes," she said then turned to look at the doctor and began to move even closer to her.
The blonde chuckled. "Bo, I think you had too much to drink. Your lines are starting to get cheesy," she teased.
"On the contrary. I think my lines are just fine. And to my defence I only had... Erm... 3 glasses of Buckthorn. A couple of tequila shots. And let's see.." she pretended to seriously think and tapped her index finger on her chin.
"Two pints of beer." she smiled. "Not enough to get me drunk. Tipsy maybe. But not drunk. I'm fae, remember? We have a higher tolerance when it comes to alcohol."
"Kenzi might have something to say about that," the blonde chuckled.
Bo took Lauren's hand and laced their fingers together staring down at them and heaving a big sigh. All playfulness starting to fade away. Lauren sensing that something was up with the Succubus gently lifted her chin up to look at her, "Bo, what's wrong?"
"Lauren, I... " Bo was interrupted by Dyson exiting the Dahl.
"Hey Dy," Lauren greeted him.
"Lauren. Bo." the wolf nodded in reply. "I'm just heading home. Do you ladies need a ride?" he asked them. He had left his bike at his apartment and had driven the Police SUV to the Dahl.
"Should you be driving, Dyson? Do you want us to call a cab for you?" Bo asked the wolf who seemed a bit tipsy which was saying something because he could normally hold his liquor.
"I'm fine, Bo. I'm a wolf remember? We're tough inside and out," he joked noticing their hands were laced together.
Bo noticing the double meaning behind his words wanted to see if he was really alright let go of Lauren's hand and grabbed his arm instead; pulling him to the corner of the Dahl. She sighed, "Dyson, are you really okay?"
"Yeah, Bo I am. Relax. Don't worry," he tried to reassure her.
"If you say so. Now can you drive back safely?" she asked him. Even though she didn't love him the way that he wanted her to, she still did care for the wolf.
"Yep. Now go. She's staring at us." the wolf said nudging his head to where Lauren was standing watching them intently.
"I'll text you when I'm home," he said trying to shoo her away.
"Okay. You do that," Bo said while walking back to Lauren.
"Goodnight, ladies!" the wolf shouted and continued the walk towards his car.
"Goodnight, Dy," Lauren shouted back.
"What was that all about?" the blonde asked the brunette when she finally reached her.
"Nothing really. Just tying up some loose ends."
Lauren raised an eyebrow, "loose ends?"
"Yep. Listen, Lauren. Why don't we head on back inside? There's something I need to say to you." Bo said while gesturing towards the door.
"Uhm... Okay."
...
Inside the Dahl, there were still some couples sitting quietly at their respective booths, canoodling and sharing stolen glances at each other. The crowd had thinned out leaving only the lovebirds there. Some had gone to Vex's club to continue the party.
Sitting down at a hidden booth by the corner, Bo gestured for Lauren to sit beside her.
"Bo, you're starting to scare me. You've been acting strange all night. It almost seems like you're going to propose," the blonde joked. "You're not, right?" a sudden panic evident in her voice.
"Well, not right now," the Succubus mumbled barely a whisper.
The doctor looked at Bo sceptically. "Should I go order some booze?"
"Yeah. Maybe that's a good idea. I'll be here waiting. Make it something strong." Bo was starting to get nervous again.
Just then Trick's ipod began playing Michael Buble's "Home" and the designated dance floor was being filled once again by lovers; some drunk and groping each other while others were just swaying in their lover's arms, smiling contently as the music began to fill the room..
Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm
"Why is this so hard? It's not like I'm going to propose to her today or anytime soon. Hmm... I wonder if she'll take my last name or should I take hers? Ysabeau Lewis. No. Lauren Elizabeth McCorrigan. Yeah. That sounds nice," she thought happily as she was listening to the lyrics of the song.
May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
"Whoa.. Hold on there cowboy.. You're getting way ahead of yourself. She needs to be your girlfriend first. No. Again. She needs to be your girlfriend again. I wonder if she'll take me back." Bo was anxiously fiddling with the napkin on the table when Lauren arrived with their drinks. Two glasses of Jameson. She then proceeded to sit beside Bo handing her the glass of whiskey.
And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
"I'm fine baby, how are you?"
Well I would send them but I know that it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that
Bo took a big gulp of the liquid and grimaced. The slow burn building up temporarily relieving her of her nerves.
"Bo..?" the doctor said while taking a sip of her own whiskey and then setting it down on the table.
Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky, I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I've got to go home
"So what's this about?"
"Okay. So here goes nothing," Bo said turning to face the blonde. "Lauren, do you know that you're the first person I have ever said 'I love you' to?"
The blonde went to answer but stopped when Bo waved her hand telling her to wait. "I never even told Kyle that. I thought we were in love but we were just kids. We were just fooling around. Then Dyson happened and well... That was just a sexual thing. Mainly for healing purposes. I don't love him the way I do you. Well, I did at one time. I'm not gonna lie. But not anymore. I mean sure I love him but I don't love LOVE him, you know?" The blonde rested her hand on the brunette's arm trying to stop the Succubus from rambling on.
"Bo.."
"No, Lo. Let me finish. I need to get this off my chest."
Let me go home
I'm just too far from where you are
I wanna come home
"Okay," the blonde replied waiting patiently for the brunette to continue, hand still on her arm. Slowly stroking it trying to comfort her.
Bo sighed. She really did screw up big time with Lauren. Seeing the hurt etched across her face at her mentioning Dyson, she knew she had a lot of explaining to do.
"So, like I said. I don't love him anymore. I love you. I love you more than Kenzi loves her shoes."
"No, wait. Let me rephrase that. I can do better than that."
And I feel just like I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
This was not your dream
But you always believed in me
She took the doctor's hand from where it was resting on her arm and placed in on her heart. "This heart only longs for you. It beats just so I can live to love you. You fill my heart with so much love that I can't help but wonder if I was put here on earth just to find you. Not to rule the world as queen. Not to fulfil some destiny. But to make two pieces whole again. You leave me breathless every time I look at you. You, Lauren Elizabeth Lewis are my soulmate. My heart and soul is yours and yours alone. I love you so much it hurts to think that I might never get to hold you in my arms anymore because I was the biggest jerk on the planet." Tears were starting to form in the brunette's eyes. Her voice beginning to crack.
Another winter day has come
And gone away
In either Paris or Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home
This talk was long overdue and the blonde's features were starting to soften at the way Bo's words were hitting her.
"I know I messed up big time back when we were together. Letting my needs come first and not prioritizing you like I should have. I wasn't focused on you when I should have been. Even after the whole pledging to the Dark thing. Then the Rainer thing happened and I was an even bigger douchebag."
"It's ok, Bo. What's done is done," the blonde said cutting the brunette off. She wasn't going to cry this time.
She's been through so much already and she was a stronger person now. Different. But one thing remained the same. Her heart was always going to belong to Bo.
"No, it's not. I can't tell you how sorry I am. I know I've been the biggest douchebag there is. I mean even when I found you again, I let my jealousy get the better of me. I thought you were out doing the nasty with The Morrigan because you fell out of love with me."
"Bo, you should know by now that whatever I do is always planned. And, you know my heart only belongs to one person. A beautiful, gorgeous young Succubus with the biggest heart I have ever known but who is also the most stubborn person I've ever met. She can be so thick headed sometimes she drives me up the wall," the doctor chuckled.
And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
And let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
"Yeah. I know that now. I just can't believe I didn't see it earlier," Bo says while shaking her head. "I guess a certain doctor just made me fall so head over heels for her that I was blinded by my jealousy."
"Well, succubae are known to be possessive," the blonde doctor said with a slight flirty tone to her voice.
"And that is... quite a turn on," she bit her lower lip and moved closer to the brunette.
"Really now?" the Succubus purred leaning in closer towards the doctor noticing how her aura had spiked.
"Like a moth to a flame," the doctor laughed internally. She loved how she could easily turn the almighty and powerful Succubus into putty in her hands in just a matter of seconds.
At the same time, Bo was thinking, "God, this woman has me whipped. I can almost hear Kenz make that whipping sound."
"Oh Bobo. You are so whipped. Wh-tshhh! " the Goth would say complete with the whipping action.
"Mmmmm... Yes. It is.." their lips now mere inches apart. Unknown to them, a hidden figure in the shadows was silently watching them intently. An evil smile plastered across his face.
Then just like that, Lauren pulled back and waved her index finger in the air, "Ah ah ah. Not yet, Succubus."
"If you're asking what I think you're asking, we need to set some ground rules first," the blonde stated. A firm look on her face.
"Does that mean you'll take me back?" Bo asked with such hope-filled eyes. "I'll do anything. Anything. You name it, babe. No Dyson, no Tamsin. Heck I'll even get Kenzi to drag me to the hospital herself and wait for you there if it's a life or death situation. I'll give you foot massages every night before bed. Anything, babe. Just name it," the Succubus rambled.
"Well, I am working on a serum for your need to feed. In the meantime, you will have to go out and feed off others and I don't want to be a part of that like last time. I don't have to know who you've been with. Just no more Dyson and Tamsin. They're a part of our little family, yes. Our little dysfunctional family, but not a part of our relationship. I just want you to come home to me every night. We'll work out the kinks later. We'll take it one step at a time, Bo," she said while stroking the brunette's arm sending shivers down her spine.
"Do you think you can do that for me? For us? We both need to put work into this. It won't always be just peaches and cream you know."
Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It'll all be alright
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home
The Succubus nodded and took both of the doctor's hands into her own, "They say home is where the heart is. For me, that's you. I'm coming home, babe and I'm here to stay this time. Cos, darlin' you are all I need." She went to place a quick kiss on the blonde's lips.
"You sure are getting cheesy in your old age," the blonde smiled.
They both chuckled. "Only for you, babe. Only for you."
"I love you, doctor."
"And I love you, my beautiful, sexy Succubus."
They leaned in eyes closed lips slightly brushing against each other's when Bo suddenly stopped. She couldn't move. Sensing what she thought was hesitance; Lauren opened her eyes to find Bo seemingly frozen in place. "Bo?"she asked panic starting to creep in.
"Uhm..babe. I can't move," the Succubus said trying her best to move but couldn't. The blonde went into doctor mode straight away checking to see what was causing this.
Then suddenly, out of nowhere, Bo's hands went to grope the doctor's chest squeezing her breasts.
"Bo! What are you doing?" the doctor said, her face turning red. As much as she wanted the Succubus now, this was certainly not the place to be doing this.
"It's not me. I swear!" the Succubus answered with a slight panic in her voice. Then they heard it. The muffled laughter coming from the shadows of the bar in the far right corner. Vex was having a hard time controlling his laughter seeing the look of utter horror and embarrassment on the doctor's face.
Realisation hitting them, the women both screamed, "Vex!"
"Let me go, Vex! Or do I have to remind you what a mean right hook this doctor has?" the Succubus said half-jokingly.
"What? From the looks of it, you two were about to mesh naughty bits right there and then. I'm just helping to speed things up a bit," the Mesmer said innocently. "After all, I am in need of some entertainment. The old Blood King isn't going to install a mechanical bull in here anytime soon," he added while pointing towards Trick.
"Besides, it's all in good fun." he tried to reason.
"Vex, if you don't stop this right now, I swear I'll..." Bo began only to be cut off by Trick who just now noticed what was happening.
"Vex, stop that. Or do you want me to tell everyone how you used to wet the bed as a child? You do remember your father was one of my best generals, right?" he threatened.
"Alright. Alright." He released his hold on the Succubus. "There. You happy now? Why don't you two lovebirds go get a room already?" he said with a slight smile on his face. Yes. The big bad Mesmer had developed a soft spot for the Sunshine Gang.
"The next time you try anything funny like that again," Bo threatened. "My Christmas tree will have a certain panache to it." she glared at him.
"Heard that one before, darling," the Mesmer replied chuckling.
With Bo finally free to move again, she quickly removed her hands from Lauren's breasts to a relieved doctor who shook her head and chuckled. Her crimson face returning to normal.
"Bo, let's get out of here before things get heated again and..." she whispered some naughty things into the brunette's ear which made her eyes flash blue.
"Chocolate!" the Succubus gasped making the doctor smirk.
"Consider this your lucky day, Vex," the Succubus then said. She stood up with Lauren by her side and headed towards the exit.
"Later, gramps!" she quickly dragged the blonde who was trying to get her jacket from the stool by the pool table where she had left it earlier; eager to put into motion what she had just heard in her ear.
