I want to give a shout out to Spyklv, who always leaves long, in depth reviews to nearly every chapter of my stories, I love it! Thank you to all who take the time to read these and I do appreciate your comments as well. Okay, that's enough of the sentimental stuff. Time for this "evil little writer" (Fanfic Fan ;) to get back to work and for you to see what the ladies are up to in this installment of "Adventures in Advertising" (intense music here - dun-dun, Duhnnn!)

Chapter 7

Reaching out blindly beside her, she runs her hands over cool empty bed sheets alerting her that the blonde is no longer by her side. She jerks herself up in a sleepy haze, searching the room until her eyes settle on the glow from under the bathroom door, signaling her whereabouts and allowing Bo to sigh in relief as she falls back into bed. She doubts Lauren would leave without saying goodbye, but that brief moment of emptiness gripped her heart.

Hearing the door open she looks up, laying her eyes on a freshly showered and unfortunately, dressed, blonde who is looking very delicious this early in the morning.

"Hey, where you going?" Bo asks in a raspy morning voice, her hand reaching out to her girlfriend while Lauren stands there buttoning up her shirt, biting her lip trying not to think of the naked body barely covered by the sheets.

Able to read the blonde's mind, Bo slowly begins to pull the sheets down to reveal herself, watching as brown eyes twinkle with mischief. Suddenly Lauren pounces on her and begins kissing her neck and collar bones and tickling her sides. Bo curls up and laughs, half begging for her to stop but enjoying the moment of playfulness.

Finally, Lauren ceases her early morning torment, but keeps her body on top of Bo's.

"I'm sorry I have to get to class" she says sadly, brushing dark locks from her lovers face. "How about you come to my place this weekend. I am taking it off to study for midterms and you can see my other life" she winks "maybe help me work on balancing you and studying, plus you get to meet my best friend and roommate" she finishes, her tone is questioningly optimistic.

Bo leans up and presses her lips to Lauren's. "That sounds perfect" she smiles. "Just text me where and when you want me."

"I always want you, Bo. Anywhere I can have you."

The way her girlfriend's face lights up makes Bo's heart swell and her smile now reaches her eyes seeing how such a simple thing can make the woman so happy. She can't recall a time when she genuinely wanted to do things to make someone else happy, but right now she knows there is no mountain she wouldn't move to see the blonde smile.

Excitedly Lauren captures Bo's lips in another deep kiss. Pulling back, she witnesses the goofy smile that she adores so much. "Excellent. Give me a few more seconds to finish and I will be back to give you a proper goodbye" she waggles her brows as she rolls off of Bo.

Arching a brow at the laughing blonde, Bo looks at the clock and knows she still has a few hours before she needs to get to work. She'd love to get some more sleep, but suspects the antics of a certain blonde will keep her amped up.

Five minutes later, Lauren is dressed and has all of her things ready to go. She sachets up to the bed, causing Bo to giggle at her silliness. Climbing into bed next to the brunette, she rolls to face her and props her head up on one hand while her other hand traces her girlfriend's jawline. Bo rolls towards her, mirroring her position. The two women just enjoy the quiet moment, taking in one another's soft features and committing them to memory.

"I look forward to seeing you very soon" Lauren says softly, her eyes following the finger that is still tracing, seemingly in a trance from Bo's beauty even this early in the morning.

A smile tugs at the corner of Bo's lips watching the blonde, "me too." Her touch feels hot against her skin and she closes her eyes, doing her best to keep her rising libido in check knowing there is no time for that.

Lauren scoots in, wanting to be closer but fighting the urge to take her right now and say to hell with class. Remembering her conversation about finding balance, she closes the distance, running her fingers through dark brown hair and locks her lips to Bo's. Softly and gently their mouth's melt together. Her tongue swipes across Bo's bottom lip asking for entry and she is greeted by a velvety tongue that both excites and comforts her. Her taste and touch relaxes her heart and mind, yet scorches her skin. Such a beautiful contradiction, yet it feels like home in the brunette's arms.

When they pull away, they both miss the contact immediately. As Lauren forces herself to leave her lover's bed, Bo was right, there was no more sleep to be had this morning.

The rest of the week was excruciatingly long for both women. After a lot of aggravation and chasing after contacts, Bo finally manages to lock up a meeting with the new client in two weeks and is just waiting to confirm which day. Hale loves the advertising slogan of Lauren's and after a little tweaking, they will have a full presentation ready for the meeting. Now Bo just needs to figure out her best strategy to win them over.

Lauren spends extra time in the lab and studying for her exams so that she can enjoy more time with her girlfriend this weekend. The blonde has been more uptight than usual, suffering from the nerves of Bo coming over and the selection of the intern job due anytime now. As usual, Kenzi has been her own personal cheerleader and therapist and the blonde knows she really does need to do something special for her soon.

As much as she wants that position so she can stop dancing, she does love being able to see Bo on those days. If she is selected, it may make it harder for them to spend time together during their blossoming relationship if it requires much weekend time, but now that Bo is coming over, she and Kenzi hit it off, it opens the doors to the brunette spending some weekends here. Lauren can't help but wonder how things will work in about a year when she is working crazy hours in her residency.

It's Friday afternoon and Bo will be arriving at any time, as noted by Lauren's endless fidgeting and scrunching of her face as she over thinks everything. It's been a really long time since she has introduced anyone to her best friend.

"Relax, everything will be fine. I am sure she is awesome, because you are awesome" her friend soothes, smiling at how nervous Lauren is. Honestly, she can't recall ever seeing the blonde this worked up over she was dating, so she knows it must be serious.

Hearing a knock on the door, Kenzi jumps up excitedly, but is cut off by the blonde. She has been on pins and needles since Lauren told her she invited Bo over for the weekend. Always looking out for her long time best friend, she can't wait to meet the woman that has brought the blonde out of the shell she has been hiding in for the last few years.

"No way! Let me get it, and I will introduce you. Be nice" Lauren says knowingly.

"Moi?" The girl places her hands on her chest in mock surprise. "I am always nice. Can I help it if some people don't appreciate honesty?"

Narrowing her eyes in warning, Lauren glares "You know what I mean."

"Totes! I so got this, Lo. Now let your lady lover in already."

"Hey Bo" she gives her a peck on the lips "Come on in."

Bo enters the quaint little college apartment and is immediately stuck on the bright blue eyes of the Goth girl.

"Bo, this is my best friend and roommate Kenzi. Kenzi, this is my girlfriend Bo."

The girl can hardly believe her eyes looking at the busty brunette with the disarming smile

"Hello Kenzi. It is so nice to meet you" Bo smiles warmly and offers her hand. Not only is this the first time she has met any of Lauren's friends, but it is the first time she has been introduced as her "girlfriend" and she finds it makes her feel warm and fuzzy inside.

It was subtle, but Kenzi caught the spark in Bo when Lauren introduced her as her "girlfriend." It was cute to see and she immediately felt warmth from the brunette.

She accepts the hand warmly and exclaims, "Holy Shit, Lo! Nice work, she is HAWT!"

Bo arches a brow, intrigued by the nickname and not at all bothered by the compliment as she is used to being gawked at on a daily basis. She smiles brightly, as it was kind of funny coming from Lauren's best friend, especially the way she said it.

"Kenzi, geeze" Lauren rolls her eyes, her voice pleading not to continue.

"What? She is. I knew it would take a special package to woo you, but damn, girl! Hello to you, Bobalicious!"

Bo laughs as Lauren hides her face in embarrassment. "I am sorry, Bo. She has nicknames for everyone."

Bo places her hand on Lauren's arm in comfort. "Really, it's okay. I actually kinda like it and for some reason I'm shocked that she didn't go with some sort of 'Double D' boob comment" she jokes.

Kenzi laughs loudly, "Oh, I luuurve her, Lo. I did almost go there, but I was asked to be nice."

"Well, please don't change for me. You must be alright if you are Lauren's best friend." Bo smiles and looks between the two friends.

"Pretty and a smooth talker. I bet you've got street smarts, too. No wonder why Doc likes you. You are like the non-geek version of her."

"A loud noise on the tv draws Bo's attention. "Are you watching Jungle Jeeves? I love that show" Bo giggles.

"OMG! You are perfect!" Kenzi looks at her friend in delight and drags Bo, who is giggling like a schoolgirl at a sleepover, to the sofa to get better acquainted.

Lauren smiles at the exchange between her two favorite ladies and shakes her head as she grabs a few drinks from the fridge. She takes a seat watching the two interact as if they have known one another forever. She feels lighter somehow, now that they have met and the tension and anxiety is gone, she is amazed at how family-like this moment feels. Grateful to have such a great friend in Kenzi, she makes another mental note to do something special for her after this weekend.

After a while, Bo and Kenzi are still huddled on the sofa chatting back and forth with great enthusiasm, so Lauren excuses herself to her room for a quick bit of studying before dinner. Even though she missed her one on one time with the brunette, she also knows that Bo has lead a relatively lonely life, much as she has, so seeing her so vibrant with her best friend makes her very happy. There really hasn't been a chance to see Bo in a social environment, not including the club. She is obviously charming and comfortable with her beauty, the opposite of Lauren, but there is a special feeling seeing her in a family atmosphere. Bo just has a naturally calm and loving aura, and that combined with her sex appeal gives Lauren a hard time keeping her hands and her mind off of the brunette.

Lying on her bed, she is covered with a pile of homemade flash cards she put together to study for her upcoming mid-term exams. Often she will ask Kenzi to help her and these are the perfect tools since there are many times the girl can't pronounce the answer, so she can just flip the card.

An hour later, poking her head in the door, Bo silently observes the blonde locked in intense concentration on her task at hand. She is oblivious to the brunette even entering the room to grab a seat by the window.

A smile pulls at her lips as she watches the woman she adores furrow her brow or twitch her mouth while she studies. It's nice to see the blonde in her "other world." It feels normal and domestic and Bo is a bit surprised that she isn't uncomfortable with it. She has never really known a "normal life" and hasn't had many friends.

Besides Tamsin, she doesn't have anyone she would really even call a friend and despite the woman's bitchy demeanor, she has been the only true and consistent ally Bo has ever had. They met when Bo was living outside the city years ago. She was young and clinging onto anyone who gave her attention or pretended to be friends. She really was looking for a family, a place to belong. The blonde was a detective at the local police department when Bo got involved with some small time crooks.

One night, Tamsin busted her in a back alley hustling some guys. Bo can still remember the shame she felt being handcuffed and how much she hated herself for ending up in that situation. She admits not knowing any better, but being so weak and out of control still eats at her and she vowed never to let that happen again.

The detective had a talent for reading people, still does, and the look in Bo's eyes and the vibe the detective got from her, told the woman that there was more to the young brunette. Instead of turning her in, she took the brunette for a hot meal and a talk. It only took a few minutes for the woman to see that Bo wasn't dark, she just needed direction. She took her under her wing, got Bo back into school and they have been friends ever since. Now that Tamsin is retired, she does private investigation work on the side utilizing her many connections in the area.

"Hi" the blonde's smooth voice breaks Bo from her daydreams.

"Hi back" the brunette smiles softly. "I didn't want to disturb you."

"Sorry, I was in the zone. How long have you been sitting there?"

"Not long. You look so yummy all engrossed in your cards, it was hard to stay away."

"Are you doing okay or are you bored? I know this isn't as exciting as our usual get togethers, but we can go have dinner soon and I can show you around."

"Lauren, I am fine. You don't have to entertain me, unless you want to 'entertain' me" she winks as the blonde smiles and rolls her eyes. "Kenzi is fun. Hard to believe she is getting a Master's in Business. That seems too uptight for her."

"Well, she wants to work with fashion companies. She is a unique and loyal person. She is like my sister."

"Well, your sister went out for a while. How about I help you study? I think I know a game to help you with your focus."

Lauren chuckles "I bet you do. What would this game entail?"

I hold up the card, you try to answer as I distract you. It will help you focus in the real world where there are lots of distractions" she smirks. "Let's try it out."

Bo holds up the first card and when Lauren answers it correctly, Bo undoes several buttons until her ample breasts are well exposed. The blonde laughs while the next card is displayed. Another correct answer and now Bo removes her blouse as her girlfriend's eyes light up.

"Now we are going to increase the pressure Doc" Bo smirks devilishly.

This time, Bo undoes a few of Lauren's buttons and begins kissing down her neck as she holds up a card. Lauren bites her lip and tries to focus, choking out an answer.

Bo stops and looks at the card. "Very good Doc."

Sliding her own shorts off, Bo is now standing in her usual black lace bra and a black thong. She turns around to pick up the cards, feeling Lauren's intense desire building as she stares at the firm backside of the brunette. Bo "accidentally" drops the card and slowly bends over to pick it up, making sure the blonde has a perfect view. She holds up the card and waits for a response. After a few seconds, there is still no answer "Lauren?"

"Huh?" her girlfriend's mind obviously lost to other places now.

"The answer. I am waiting" Bo laughs "focus, remember?"

"Um...right. The answer is metabolic acidosis. I can think of other things I'd rather focus on."

"Nuh uh! This is study time. Even though I am extremely turned on with all of these big words, we need to finish your lesson" Bo says firmly.

Bo drags off Lauren's shorts and straddles her lap. "How about this one?" she says, holding up the card as she sucks her girlfriends nipple.

"Umm…God Bo!"

"I'm no med student, but don't think that right" she chuckles and continues to tease the nipple.

"Funny. Pleural…ahhh" Bo flicks her tongue on the erect nipple, sending a rush to the blonde's core "umm…ef…effusion."

"Very good. Ready for extra credit?" Lauren nods with hooded eyes, trying to control her breathing as her heart is racing with desire.

"Tell me, scientifically speaking, what happens in the body when I do this" she slowly pulls the blonde's underwear down and spreads her legs wide. Keeping her eyes on the blonde, she runs her fat tongue up between the hot wet folds, ending with a suck on her clit.

Lauren shudders and moans trying to figure out how she's supposed to be able to form words, much less think right now.

Bo only does it once and waits for a reply. She knows this is torture and can see the struggle play out in Lauren's expressions. "I'm waiting. If you want more, you gotta answer the question."

"Could you please repeat the question?" Lauren smiles.

Bo smiles and does it again, this time slower, smiling as she feels her lover writhe under her. Lauren grasps at any words remotely close to the topic, not wanting the game to end now.

"Shit!" Focus, Lauren, focus she tells herself.

"Sexual desire…ohhh…and orgasm are subject to various influences on the brain and nervous system, which controls the sex glands and genitals." She speaks quickly, trying to get words out in a coherent manner before Bo distracts her once again, but she certainly doesn't want her to stop.

Rewarding her with another long, but deeper pass by her tongue, she stops once again.

"Is that all you got or do you want me to give you more?" Bo is loving the slow torture of her lover. She can feel how desperately Lauren wants her release, but this is too much fun, and she is certain it will be well worth the wait.

"More, Bo" she gasps, her hips buck up, hoping for contact.

"Then continue. I love it when you geek out. It gets me so wet, baby" Bo husks, her eyes dark with desire now.

Hearing Bo say that makes her sex ache, and the constant teasing is driving her mad as Bo sucks her clit again.

"Fuck Bo," she moans. "Mmm…Achieving orgasm, brain imaging studies show, involves more than heightened arousal."

Bo's sounds of pleasure increase as the blonde continues to rattle off "It requires a release of inhibitions engineered by shutdown of the brain's center of vigilance in both sexes and a widespread neural power failure in females."*

Bo stops briefly, leaving Lauren ready to explode "Please Bo, more, now" She begs.

"This seems like positive reinforcement for your addiction Doctor. Is the dopamine dump taking effect yet?" Bo smiles into the blonde's thigh as she trails soft kisses up to her toned stomach.

Lauren scrunches her face in confusion, her pelvis moving on its own. "What? You understood that? That's so hot."

"Mmm...well, what can I say, you are a good teacher. Got anything you want to add to that or is study hall over?" The brunette teasingly begins to get up and is promptly pulled back down by an increasingly frustrated blonde doctor-to-be.

"Don't you dare!" she warns. "Studies confirm that there is a difference between stimulating the vagina and the clitoris and that there is a direct neurological link between a woman's nipples and her genitals."

"God that is so sexy. How about we have a practical exam and see science in action" Bo stops her movements and smiles up at Lauren, who is looking back at her with dark, hungry eyes.

The blonde pulls Bo up and smashes their lips together, moaning into the kiss and feverishly assaulting her mouth, her pent up desire unabashedly ready to be unleashed on her lover. She vocally approves of Bo's fingers thrusting deeply inside her, the two of them matching pace until she is pushed loudly over the edge. She crashes down hard, breathless and sweaty, tasting herself on her lover's lips as they kiss deeply.

Two hours later the handsy lovers make their way downstairs oblivious to Kenzi's presence.

"What up BoLo" the girl smirks.

"Shit Kenz!" Lauren jumps and immediately blushes. "We didn't hear you come home. How long have you been back?" The blonde desperately hoping her friend missed the vocal part of their activities.

"Oh, not long, but long enough to hear the grand finale" she laughs moving her arms like directing the orchestra.

Lauren hides her face in Bo's chest, a muffled "Oh my God" could be heard.

Bo is not at all shy about their exploits and smiles proudly as she wraps her arms comfortingly around her mortified girlfriend.

Kenzi runs in and wraps her arms around them both, knocking them back slightly from the force and causing Bo to laugh. "C'mon, Lo. It's natural. It's a basic human need. You two sound like you are really, really good at it and I may add, it's about friggin time!" She fist bumps Bo.

"Please stop" Lauren implores while the other two laugh at her discomfort.

"It sounds like a compliment to me babe" Bo offers in an attempt to relax her lover, pulling the blonde's chin up to meet her eyes. Lauren's face is beet red and Bo finds it adorable coming from a woman who can recite all of the medical jargon for what's going on when you orgasm.

"Hell's yeah it is. We have been besties forever and you know I only want the best for you Doc. I am just beyond thrilled that you found yourself a hunny that can rock your world."

Kenzi kisses her on the cheek and skips to the kitchen. "So…what's for dinner?"

"Mmm, I know what I'd like for dinner" Bo says lowly but Kenzi heard it anyway and chuckles to herself.

Lauren feels her cheeks redden again but there is just something about it when Bo flirts with her that makes her feel sexy and empowered and she can't resist flirting back even in public.

"Hungry again already? You're insatiable." Then she leans in close, her breath tickling her girlfriend's neck as she whispers something into Bo's ear that makes the brunette's eyes sparkle and a seductive smirk form on her lips. Lauren pulls back to enjoy the look on her lover's face

Kenzi hasn't seen Lauren's pervy side in years and she is loving the new attitude her friend has when she is with Bo. She watches the exchange from across the room and pretends to gag. "Eww, gross you guys, can you stop already? I mean I am glad you are finally getting your groove on Lo, but can it wait till I am out of the room?"

Having a hard time looking repulsed while her best friend looks so happy, Kenzi heads to her room letting them know they had twenty minutes to get ready for a night out.

As the women walk back to Lauren's room Bo says, "You know, we don't have to go out if you don't want to."

Lauren laughs and unsure of what is so humorous, Bo looks confused. The blonde cups her lover's face and smiles genuinely "Oh babe. You don't know Kenzi. There is no way she's not taking us out on the town. She lives for these moments." She leans in close and husks "Besides, I want to show you off."

Lauren kisses Bo hard and passionately then walks into her bedroom, leaving the brunette standing in the hall slightly stunned and extremely turned on.

Lauren turns around with a smirk and calls out "Are you coming?"

Bo just laughs "Almost" and trots toward the chuckling blonde, drawing a yelp when she scoops her up into a tight embrace. She nuzzles her nose into the crook of Lauren's neck. "Lauren, I just love how adorably nerdy you are one second, then devilishly sexy the next, and I am glad you reserve that sexy part just for me."

Putting the blonde back down, Lauren can't help but smile at the remark. She has never acted like this with anyone before, but Bo just brings it out of her. "Well, Bo Dennis, flattery will get you everywhere, so if you are up for it later, maybe we will see what the devil has in store for you."

I do not speak quite that much geek, so here is my reference for Lauren's extra credit question .
