A/N: Hey guys. Sorry for the wait I just had a problem to find a suitable idea for their date (not date, geez sorry Lauren) I'm still not satisfied but it's the best I could do to be honest. I've catched a cold and wanted to get the update out before it get's worse. So I'm sorry that it's a little short but it was best to cut there, because the next part will get a little more angsty.
Chapter 10: My Heart goes BOOM!
"Now carefully add a little bit of this..." The blonde said while she pointed at a tiny flask on the counter. She had never expected that the day would turn out like this. The moment Bo spied the chemistry set was eager to try it out. The brunette had admitted that she wasn't very experienced in "sciency things" she had called it but always wanted to see something cool like they did on TV. So they were standing at the kitchen counter with way to big safety glasses looking at the bunsenburner heating up some liquid.
Some may say that it was to dangerous to let two teenagers work with such chemicals but Lauren knew what she was doing. She always had a knack for chemistry. Her interest in everything scientific manifested in young age. She soaked up every tiny detail like a sponge. But the close proximity was even making it hard for her to concentrate. Messing up was a no go.
She felt her breathing quicken feeling Bo so close. What was that girl doing to her? Bo's eyes were dreamy, full of admiration whenever Lauren explained the ingredients and what was to expect. Why it would be happening and many more things. She completely geeked out but the brunette didn't seem to care. It felt like the opposite and that encouraged the young scientist to keep on going.
Only a little bit of that ingredient. She had to be careful or this could blow. Literally. Lauren pulled open the lid of the flask and slowly tilted the bottle. Curious Bo took a step closer to Lauren. Head peeking over her shoulder she felt the breath tickling her neck. The sudden movement caused Lauren to twitch. The liquid started bubbling dangerously.
"Shit" Lauren murmured. "Down!" she yelled and pressed Bo to the floor just in time. The mixture exploded hitting the blonde directly in the face. Tiny shards of broken glass punctured her arms she held up.
Both girls coughed violently. Waving their hands to get rid of the fog that had built in the kitchen. "God Dyson.." cough "Will kill me" Lauren muttered. The burner turned off she opened the windows.
Crouching down to the coughing brunette the blonde looked extremely worried. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah" cough "That was just..." cough "unexpected". Bo started laughing.
"I am sorry. I... I should have never tried this experiment..."
"Are you kidding me? That was awesome. Best date ever" Bo grinned. "I mean... I didn't mean date.. I... erm..." Bo was visibly flustered. Not a date, huh?
"I actually didn't plan to blow up the kitchen but... I'm happy you liked it" the blonde smiled like the brunette.
But Bo's smile faltered the moment she spotted Laurens arm. "What the heck Lauren? Shit we need to get you to the hospital" She rushed to her feet.
"Huh?" the blonde was surprised. Slowly turning her arm she saw what Bo meant. A bigger shard of the beaker peaked out of her forearm. Curiously she studied the wound. She was surprised that she didn't feel pain. The shock probably prevented that at the moment.
"No.. please no hospital. It's not that bad I can... I can do it myself"
"No Lauren that isn't just a scratch. There is a friggin piece of glass looking out of your arm."
"It's not that deep. Please Bo. It really isn't so bad. I... I need the first aid kit in the bathroom and bandage it..."
Bo sighed but then made her way into the bathroom bringing Lauren the requested items. Said blonde immediately started to work on her injury. The only one that flinched when Lauren pulled out the shared was Bo.
"Wow, that was totally bad ass" The brunette couldn't decide if she was shocked or in awe.
"Told you it wasn't deep. It doesn't even need stitches.." Lauren mumbled checking the wound.
"You're sure? How do you know all that?"
"I am sure. Well mom was a doctor and she showed me early on first aid and a little more"
"Wow... I mean. Wow. You are so young but... damn."
Lauren just blushed at Bo's comment. Pressing a sterile tissue to the tiny wound she motioned for Bo to bandage it.
-.-.-.-
"God finally done.. phew" Bo breathed wiping away the sweat forming at her forehead. They cleaned the kitchen as best as they could but there was still a black stain left that no matter how hard they tried refused to go. Lauren was almost going to cut it just to hide it but eventually understood that wasn't such a good idea after all.
Maybe they should have just put some mentos in a bottle of diet coke. OUTSIDE. Afterward you always know it better.
"I'm really sorry. I shouldn't..." Lauren started again but stopped when she felt the other girls hand on her arm. "It's ok Lo. I asked you too. And the only thing I regret is that you got hurt. The rest was awesome" She saw the guilt shining in the brunette eyes.
"Bo this is not your fault" She looked her deeply in the eyes. Those dark orbs that were pulling her in every time she looked at them. Mesmerizing pooling with calmness but on the same time with an intensity that was burning hotter than fire. Neither of them averted their gaze. Instead their bodies seemed to be closing the distance between them on their own until they came to a stop just centimeters away from each other.
Not really thinking Laurens hand softly cupped Bo's cheek with her uninjured arm. The skin was so soft, so warm and welcoming. The brunettes eyes were closed when she leaned in to the touch, visibly enjoying the sensation as much as Lauren did. Both their hearts were beating one hundred miles an hour. Tiny butterflies were spreading in her belly, flapping their tiny wings in anticipation. This was a complete knew territory for the blonde and as much as she wanted to rationalize this she realized that there was nothing to rationalize. Just to feel.
So many times she had thought about this moment. Lovingly she traced Bo's cheekbone with the tip of her thumb. She was so beautiful.
The puff of hot air tickled her lips. They just had to close this small gap. A tiny asp stuck in Laurens throat when she felt Bo's lips covering her own. Her butterflies were doing a dance, an unknown tingle washed through her body at the light touch. So she didn't imagine things. Lauren hoped, no she begged that this wasn't another dream.
The kiss was soft and slow, a touch of lips. Before it could grow in to something deeper the ring of the door bell ripped them out of their kiss.
"Wow..." Lauren breathed. A deep blush was adorning the faces of both girls.
"Yeah" Bo smiled.
Awkwardly they let go of each other. "Um, guess it's the pizza guy"
"Pizza... Yeah pizza is good, I like pizza" the brunette rambled.
"Pizza is yummy... very... yummy" yummy? God Lauren...
Her heart was beating rapidly in her chest at the close proximity. The familiar scent of the brunette was filling her nose. It was oddly comforting but on the same time put her pulse on overdrive. They had eaten their pizza in silence and were no sprawled on the couch in the living room.
Some movie was running but neither of them really concentrated on the film. Some cute, little, yellow creatures were running around the screen. Ivy loved that movie and they had to admit the scenes they actually caught were quite funny.
But all the funny was gone when they ended up snuggled together on the couch. Neither of them would admit how it came to this. They acted oblivious but their bodies knew what they wanted. So it was only a matter of time for them to end up like this.
Bo leaned against the armrest, Laurens head resting comfortable on her breast. It didn't even feel as awkward as they expected so they enjoyed the company.
Their bodies were so warm and welcoming. Curling her fingers through Laurens hair both thought about this as oddly calming but highly thrilling on the same time.
The blondes arm was draped lazily over the brunettes stomach drawing circles around the willing flesh. They didn't talk about the kiss. It was like a silent understanding but none of them cared as long as they could stay like this. Lovingly Bo kissed the top of Laurens head, causing the blonde to smile a little wider.
Everything just felt right, seemed perfect. What could possibly go wrong?
