Chapter 4

Kenzi wakes up slowly, she feels so tired. Her stomach stopped messing around, Lauren worked her miracles again and she was feeling much better. She opens her eyes, is that Bo? Her Bo-bo is sitting there watching her " Hey drunk-face, finally you woke up" Bo smiles and kiss her hand. "Bo" "Yes, its me, your Bo-Bo, Dan told me the great news, although I pity that baby" Kenzi smiled with Bos teasing. "I was going to call you" " Its ok, I understand, we can talk about that later, I just wanted to say I am still here if you need anything, still your best friend Bo-Bo" Kenzi squeezed her best friends hand. " I know" while she was slowly fading into deep sleep again.

Bo left Kenzis, she got into her car and told her driver to change their destination, she had to check on the changes at the University. See how fae and human students are handling things, "Yeah sure" that voice again. That voice coming during her nightmares, that voice she thoughT she silenced for ever. I am the Queen, I won the war, I am the strongest creature of this earth. A certain doctor should be reminded of that. "Lets go" .

Lauren finished her speech and the small crowd of students and professors already left the class room, when she noticed a buzzing talk among them, she asked one of them "is everything alright around campus" "Looks like the new Queen is here for a visit" She gathered her papers as soon as possible and she got to the hall, I need to get out of here, she noticed crowds of students gathering around a group of people, Bo was popular among the young, she was the perfect role model, young, hot, strong and independent, and most of all she won the war against the dark, a modern hero, "Lauren, Lauren" The Deans voice stopped her thoughts " Yes Dr Taft?" "Lauren, where are you going? The new Queen is here for a quick visit, she wants to see how the students are coping with the new order of things, you are the top professor of the country so I suggest you should be the one showing her around" " I wish, unfortunately I got a terrible headache and I decided to go home early in order to get some rest, I am sure you can do that as good as myself" " Lauren, please! Its wellknown around campus that you are firm friends, besideS she asked for you, and I don't want her to get a negative impression on her first visit here"

She asked for me, the new Queen asked for me? Lauren didn't say a word of what she was thinking, she nodded towards the Dean and they both started heading towards where Bo was waiting.

Bo noticed Lauren coming towards her with the Dean walking close behind, she was still jealous of everything that was moving around her, whether a man or a woman, but she knew Lauren was single, that's what the last report she got on her two weeks ago said. She was checking up on her, making sure she was ok and safe, of course Lauren could have a gf, Bo thoughts stopped when Lauren approached her, watched by students and professors " Welcome, almighty Queen Bo, we are happy to have you here in our Institution." Bo reached her hand towards Lauren, daring her to greet her and reminding her who she was, Lauren simply shaked Bos hand without making that small courtsey that protocol obliged. Bo was surprised, Lauren always followed protocol, she was surprised and annoyed. "Happy to be here myself, its great to be among young people and great minds, you would be kind enough to show me around? I must admit, its fascinating for someone who didn't finish high school to be visiting here" Everybody laughed with Bos joke, except Lauren. "Don't worry your grace, we wont make you feel inferior" Bos eyes turned blue at Laurens quip. They walked towards the facilities, keeping a clear distance from each other.

I don't really care about Universities, I must admit, Bos mind was merely focused on Lauren, as was her eyes and whole body, she was looking Laurens lips moving but couldn't hear what she was saying, her thoughts were on their days and nights of making love, their first meetings, their evolutions, their fights, the choice she made, the lies and cheating that cost her to lose Lauren. As the visit around campus was coming to an end, with Lauren keeping everything professional, Bo said " I would be happy to hear your own private thoughts on educational matters, after all you are probably the most important scientist of our new world" Lauren hesitated before answering " I m sure our Dean can inform you about everything I have been working on and my ideas" " Well, I would like to hear it from you if the Dean agrees" "Of course I agree, and I am sure Lauren does too, we can all head towards her office"

Lauren found herself trapped, as long as the Dean is with us, ill be ok she thought.

Laurens office was as Bo expected, reminded her of the one she had at her home, spending hours there studying when she was leaving the lab, while Bo would sleep at her bed or eat in her kitchen. Was it a dream? That time seemed so far away now.

Bo was staring at Dr Taft, until he got the message to leave Laurens office. Annoying silence as Bo was looking around at her office. Finally she turned

" Why you ignored me this morning?"

" I didn't"

"Oh yes you did, seriously Lauren? "

" What do you want Bo?, why are you here? Iam surprised at your sudden love for academia, you certainly hated everything scientific when I was around"

" Really? Because i remember loving something scientific very much and many many times"

Lauren flushed at Bos reference to their sex life. "Yes, I know, its all about sex for you, succubus"

"My name is Bo and don't forget iam your new Queen now so don't push it Lauren"

"No, you forget "BO" Iam not a slave anymore, and I don't have to report or be loyal to anyone but myself. Bo was absolutely shocked at Laurens words. "Well, well, well our doc got some nerve finally, don't believe that just because you thrown your pendant away, your not binded to me, i can have you lose everything in a minute" Lauren didn't answer, just looked at Bo, after awhile she said " You made the right choice Bo, you are one of your kind, as for me losing everything, you really think I care? Iam happy with myself and who iam, because I didn't betray myself.

So if you don't mind, please leave my office, I have nothing to say to you, I don't want to say hello, I don't want to be friends, I don't want to see you, so keep your civil talk for someone else, I don't like being around fae anymore, humans are my people and that's where iam happy"

Dr Taft knocked at the door and Lauren told him to come in, other professors wanted to meet Bo and share their ideas, Bo agreed to meet them and left Laurens office in silence.
