Chapter 8
Lauren finally got Bo naked after 30 minutes. Having her naked on her bed was making her nervous and horny she admitted. She kissed and made love to that body countless times, Bo was so beautiful, she was wearing only her slave pendant now and that was resting at the heart of her neck. Lauren touched it and remembered when Bo told her that she belonged to no one. You were wrong Bo, Lauren thought, I didn't want to be free, two times I refused to be free because I wanted to belong to you. Lauren got up, she got a slightly wet towel and started cleaning Bos body from the blood, she was losing the control of her mind, my baby went throu so much.. no she isn't your baby, Lauren was trying to keep her distance mentally, seeing Bo injured was killing all her defenses. After checking her wounds, she covered her body with two blankets and let her rest. Bo was in pain, she felt the pain going to her lungs, her head, she wanted to scream but couldn't, she was so tired. She felt a hand on her forehead calming her, she was dreaming, she was dreaming Lauren was with her, talking to her, making her mind rest. Bo woke up a few hours later, she was cold, she tried to get up, "Don't even think about it, you are burning with fever and you are weak" That's Lauren, its Lauren, that's Laurens voice. Bo turned her head and opened her eyes, the doctor, her doctor was sitting next to her, Bo smiled in a silly happy way, "Lauren" she said and she went back to sleep. Lauren was watching Bo sleeping, or better having nightmares, she was clearly not well, although she was better the last couple of hours. I need to test her but I don't have the proper equipment here, and I don't want to attract attention, its Sunday, better to keep a low profile until Bo gets better. Bo finally woke up Sunday afternoon. Her head was so heavy. She was alone at Laurens bedroom. Slowly she remembered the events of the past two weeks and how she ended up getting hurt. Then her frantic run to escape and how her instinct led her to Laurens house. Lauren. That's all she could think off, Lauren and the nightmares. She smiled, Laurens hands on her forehead, she missed those hands, she adores those hands. She didn't call the police, instead she is treating me. Bo didn't feel the need to run anymore, iam where I want to be, they can come and get me here, I don't care if she calls them, I don't care if I die here. Iam back home. Bos thoughts traveled back when everything started to fail. How quick everything escalated. She and Lauren together. Bo finding out Dyson had his love back, Tamsin confessing to her that she loves her and was willing to leave dark Fae, and Bo was getting more and more powerful. She lost focus. She remembered how she lied to Lauren, how she was with Dyson behind Laurens back and how Tamsin didn't have any problem to share. Lauren was focusing more and more on her lab work and her research about dark faes, so the lies and the excuses were easy. Lauren was too tired to find out. Bo got so arrogant that she would bring them to the crack shack without being afraid of getting caught, and when she was caught, she was so sure her best friend wont tell. With the war things got worse, Bos power was revealed and she was the hero, the most powerful creature on this earth, adored by humans and light Faes, the one who won over the dark. The fact was that Lauren helped as much, she protected the population and saved thousands with her antidote. But Bo couldn't see, she was too big by then. Then Kenzi confessed the truth to Lauren. Lauren didn't believe her, she was still trusting me, believed in me. I still remember when she came to confront me, with a smile on her face. She hugged and kissed me. Then she noticed Tamsin standing behind me. She only said my name " Bo" "What did you expect Lauren? I have to be with others, you aren't enough for me. Cant see you that? Look around you, iam going to be the Queen of the new world. You like the others belong to me. Don't be so selfish and admit to yourself that as a human being, you can never be enough for me. Bo closed her eyes, Lauren throwing her pendant to her and saying "Iam free".
Her trip to the past was interrupted by barks, Laurens dog didn't like her much that's for sure. Then Lauren entered the room. "You woke up, how are you feeling?" "Very heavy, and dizzy, thank you for taking me in" "I didn't take you in, you broke my window and as a doctor I have a responsibility to try and help someone who is injured" Bo smiled with that silly, happy way. No, Lauren she thought, I know you love me, I know you care for me, I know you need time, I can and would wait forever.
"Yes of course " Bo said" Thank you again for treating me" "You can stay for a few days until you get better and then you can leave Bo and I don't ever want to see you again" " Yes of course" Bo said again, with that silly happy smile. "So do you have anything to eat Doc? Iam so hungry" "Only soup for you, I already cooked, you are still very weak so you have to stay in bed" As Bo moved to in order to turn her body, the covers slipped and her naked body was exposed. Lauren couldn't take her eyes from her. "I might need something to wear" Bo said. "Yes of course, I think I might have one of your old jumpers left here" Lauren answered without thinking. "You left it here and it's a nice cloth and I didn't want to throw it away" "That jumper isn't the only thing that belongs to me and I left here" Bo said. They looked at each other for several seconds. "I go get that soup".
You have to remain calm and keep your distance Lauren. Think of the pain, the heartache " Smells good" Bo was standing behind her. " Why did you get up? You are too weak, its too soon" " Ill go back in a few minutes, let me walk around a bit, you changed the place a lot" Bo looked around her living room, her office, her kitchen. Rex was following her like a hawk. "Your dog doesn't like me" " He isn't the only one in this house" Bo smiled with Laurens answer. "How do you like your new career?" Lauren was suspicious of Bos question but she answered anyway. " Iam really happy, I love teaching and the I can continue my research. You know students are such creative minds….. Lauren was talking about her life as a professor and Bo was happy inside. Lauren loved her work, she loved tests and blood and medicine and results and that was one of the ways to break her defense. Bo started eating her soup, while Lauren was talking. Keep her talking Bo said to herself. Lauren lost track of time, she and Bo were sitting on her couch talking about her life, Bo was asking all kind of questions about humans and fae and how the young generation was reacting to life together. Work always does that to her. She forgets about everything else. Bo was clearly tired. "I think you need to go back to bed" "I agree" Bo said. "Goodnight and call me if you need anything" Lauren was going to use her couch for the second night in a row. Earlier in the day while talking to Kenzi on the phone, she almost gave everything away by mentioning how tiring is to sleep at the couch, Kenzi asked why she was sleeping on the couch and Lauren had a sloppy answer about staying up late for her research and sleeping on the couch.
Lauren couldn't sleep. It was after midnight and all she was doing was looking up, thinking. In fact she wasn't thinking. She was burning. Bo sleeping in her bed. She was thinking about their talk earlier. First time Bo took an interest in her work, a real interest. She is trying to fool you again, don't fall for it, ok mind, I wont fall for it her heart answered. Bo wasn't sleeping. Lauren could hear her screams and loud voices, she was having nightmares again. She wanted to go and wake her up, hug her and calm her. This night was about to be a long one Lauren thought.
"Lauren" Bo was standing infront of her on the couch. Lauren pretending to sleep. "Lauren" Bo said again. "Bo, why are you up" " Can I ask you something?" "Well it depends" Lauren answered. "Would you come and sleep with me? Just sleep? I cant sleep. " Lauren looked at Bo. She was looking weak and lost. Knowing that she is going to regret her answer in the morning Lauren said "Yes".
Bo was laying next to Lauren. Lauren had her back turned on her and was near the edge of the bed. Bo didn't care. Lauren was laying with her in a bed. She wanted to get up and start dancing. She could feel Lauren wasn't sleeping. "Dark Bo is back. I don't even know if she was ever dead or that she transformed during the war and she won instead of me. Its been months since I got a proper sleep. I close my eyes and I see myself hurting people, killing people. It's a killing spree." Lauren didn't know what to answer to Bos words. She slowly turned. " How do I know its dark Bo and not just Bo Lauren? Maybe this is who iam. Maybe there isn't a good or bad Bo." Lauren finaly moved towards Bo and hugged her. "You know Lauren, these dreams I have these nightmares, you know how I stop them? I think of you. The moment you appear in my mind, in my thoughts, they stop. Its like a trip iam talking to hell and suddenly I arrive to my port." Bo stopped talking. They hugged each other. "You know ill never stop until you forgive me" " I know" Lauren said."Now sleep Bo, we are both very tired, we would talk in the morning baby."
