Bo walked into the restaurant wearing a tight, black leather skirt with a red blouse and her six inch Giuseppe heels. She had her hair up in a tight ponytail that fell down her back. She was currently high as a kite, but as she walked behind the nervous hostess who was showing her to the private table that she had reserved, Bo was keenly aware of the eyes that turned her way as she passed by. And she thoroughly enjoyed the attention that she was getting. Kenzi had yet to arrive but Bo had arrived early to see if Tamsin was in the restaurant tonight and so far she hadn't seen a glimpse of the blonde. After settling into the booth that was located in one of the private rooms that cost a fortune to reserve, Bo poured herself a glass of the Dom Perigion that she had requested then took a sip of the chilled champagne. And as the flavour of the expensive champagne roll around on her tongue she thought about the curious situation that she currently found herself in.
She was now the investor of an S&M club that was the front for some larger operation and Bo wanted to know what that larger operation was because if the heat ever came down on either then she wanted to be far from it. Bo hoped that if she planted the seeds to get Kenzi looking into Evony then maybe something would shake out of that tree, but first Bo wanted to make sure that Kenzi knew that she could destroy not only her career, but also her life. Bo took another sip from her glass. She wasn't too worried about Tamsin because she most likely knew nothing about Evony's other business. Tamsin was Evony's bitch. Evony would say jump and Tamsin would do it without wondering how high or for how long.
Bo smirked because she found it curious that Tamsin would go through all this trouble of keeping a relationship going when she was loyal to another woman. And that is what truly made Tamsin an idiot because Lauren was a woman you didn't cheat on. And that was saying a lot coming from Bo. Bo grinned as she thought about Lauren. The woman had her personal demons and she was doing everything possible to avoid facing them, but Bo was going to make her face them one way or the other. And once she did Bo would finally see the woman underneath the facade. Bo finished off her champagne. Then once that mystery was solved she could get over these stupid emotions and fuck the blonde senseless. Bo was about to get lost in the fantasy of Lauren's legs being draped over her shoulders while her head was buried between them when she saw the dark haired young woman that she had been waiting for. Bo stood up as Kenzi was being brought over to their table and she walked over to give Kenzi's cheek a light kiss before she said, "You do know you're the most beautiful woman in this restaurant right?"
Kenzi playfully rolled her eyes and remarked, "And you're probably the highest person in this restaurant right now."
They sat down and Bo grinned, "This is true, but I do believe I am coming down from it."
Kenzi eyed Bo carefully and she could tell that the woman was focused and there was a calculated look in her eyes that made Kenzi a little nervous. There was no way that Bo could know about her plan to bring her down. Then again Bo Dennis had connections. Kenzi put a sexy smile on her face, "I'm certain you'll be breaking it out again when you feel the itch."
Bo shrugged. Kenzi was right, but that didn't matter at the moment. Bo had business to attend to and that required her to be momentarily sober. Bo smiled and admitted, "I most likely will, but I've got something I want to talk to you about."
Kenzi looked at Bo and smirked, "Are we going to finally stop playing this little game?"
Bo chuckled then got a provocative look on her face as she asked, "Now counsellor are suggesting what I think you are?" Bo slowly licked her bottom lip then arched eyebrow as she said in a tone that was low, but seductive, "Because I will do things to you that will break you in ways that you have never been broken before and yet…" Bo smirked, "I will have you yearning for more. Are you ready for that one?"
Kenzi's mouth went dry as she looked at the brown haired woman sitting across from her. She had said the comment to diffuse whatever topic Bo was going to bring up, but she couldn't fight the natural reaction her body had had to the sexual timbre in Bo's voice nor could she prevent the thoughts that invaded her brain. Bo grinned when Kenzi picked up her glass and took a big gulp from it. She liked being the cat and she really enjoyed playing with this particular mouse, but the game was about to become even more enjoyable. Kenzi placed her glass down and gave Bo a grin, "I doubt you'll be able to fulfil all that you're promising."
"Honey..." Bo lightly traced the top of Kenzi's hand with her fingertips, "I fulfil all promises and then some." Bo gave her one more seductive smile before it turned into a grin, "But unfortunately I'm not in the market for a new bed mate."
Kenzi was slightly affronted by Bo's rejection and she couldn't help but to feel the sting of from it. "That's fine."
Bo chuckled as she saw the dejected look on Kenzi's face then she bluntly stated, "The only reason why Kenz is because you fucked me. You fucked me seriously."
Kenzi sat there with a blank expression on her face. She wasn't certain as to what Bo was talking about, but she tried to maintain her casual demeanour by chuckling, "What the hell are you talking about Bo?"
Bo leaned back in her chair and regarded Kenzi for a moment then she clicked her tongue a couple of times before saying, "I'm talking about the legal shitstorm I currently have brewing behind me because I wasn't informed of the investigation that is being started about the firm's practices." Bo smirked when she saw the stunned look on Kenzi's face. Kenzi didn't know either which made this conversation even more interesting. "From what your face is telling me you didn't know either. Which means I need to ask why the fuck didn't you know Kenzi?"
Kenzi knew exactly why she didn't know. She had been too involved in trying to take Raymond down as well as helping Vex screw Evony over. She had gotten so distracted that she had missed the start of an investigation into Bo's firm. And that wasn't good because if they were looking into each broker's financial dealings then they would definitely see Bo giving her over a hundred thousand every few months. She would have to do something quick to make sure nothing came back to her which meant she would need to cover for Bo. Again. Kenzi cleared her throat and answered, "I had no idea Bo. I've been so swamped at-"
"I don't care what the fuck you've been dealing with, but you better fucking fix it." She paused for a moment to let Kenzi know that she was being serious then she threatened, "And if it's not fixed immediately then you will find yourself out of a job and in a beautiful eight by ten room with a wonderful view." Bo took a sip of her champagne then smiled, "I also here federal gray is so in this season."
Kenzi quickly nodded, "I will get to work on it right away Bo. I can't believe I missed this."
Bo just shrugged. She didn't care what Kenzi said. The only thing she cared about was having everything corrected and finding out why Kenzi hadn't even bothered to stop the investigation to begin with. It all could have been avoided with a few forged documents. But that was something she would have to deal with later. At the moment she needed Kenzi to look into Evony. Bo pulled out her trusty bullet then took a couple hits off of it then she took a deep breath before stating, "Kenzi I've seemed to have found myself as an investor in a little club that you seem to frequent." Kenzi's eyebrow went up and Bo smirked, "A Better Way ring any bells for you?"
"I've only been there once Bo. I swear." Kenzi countered. Bo spending a lot of time with Evony was now starting to make sense to you the young attorney and as she thought about it she began to understand Bo's connection to Tamsin
Bo held up her hand and remarked, "I don't care how many times you've been there, but I do want you to do me a favour. Evony Fleurette. I seem to have gotten control of some of her assets and I need you to look into them." Bo smiled, "Make sure everything is on the up and up."
Kenzi was confused as to why Bo would want to look into Evony. Then she realised why. Evony was involved in something that was raising Bo's suspicion. Bo didn't care about other people and when she did it was always about her. Kenzi nodded and smiled, "I will look into that for you."
Bo smiled. Once she found out more about Evony and got the heat off of her she would be able to focus her energy back onto the bigger project that was Lauren. Things were starting to look up for Bo and in a self-celebratory gesture she raised her champagne glass then took a sip from it.
Lauren walked into the packed restaurant and as she walked by the hostess stand she asked, "Lilly is Tamsin in her office or is she in the kitchen?"
The young woman nodded and told her, "Yeah she's in the kitchen. She's a being a bit of a hard ass tonight."
Lauren forced a smile on her face and thanked the young woman before she made her way back to the kitchen. Of course Tamsin was being a hard ass. Lauren had left her and because Tamsin wasn't the best at processing her feelings she took it out on whoever was closest. Lauren walked into the busy kitchen and she saw that Tamsin was over by the chopping block cutting up vegetables. Lauren walked over to her and yelled, "We need to talk."
Tamsin looked up at her and nodded. She was surprised that Lauren had come to the restaurant considering the way things had gone between them. Tamsin had planned to give Lauren a day or two to cool off before she went to grovel, so she hadn't seen the woman in almost twenty-four hours. They went into the office and as Tamsin closed the door she said, "What's up?"
"I'm going to stop by the house tomorrow to pick up some things. Then once I find a place I'll let you know when I'm ready to move my stuff out." Lauren simply explained. There was nothing else for her to discuss with Tamsin. Their relationship had been obliterated not only by Tamsin's infidelity, but also because of Lauren's conflicting feelings about Bo. There was nothing that they would be able to salvage and Lauren didn't even want to salvage something that had been nothing but a total lie.
Tamsin looked at Lauren noticing the distance between them. She had never felt this type of detachment between them and it hurt her in a way that she had never been hurt before. "Okay. Where'd you go last night? I was-"
"Don't say you were worried because we both know that's bullshit Tamsin." Then Lauren bitterly added, "Because if you were worried then you wouldn't have fucked Bo and Evony."
Tamsin was trying to play the remorseful, apologetic person that she knew she should be considering that she was trying to get her girlfriend back. But Lauren was placing herself on a pedestal and Tamsin knew better than to allow her to think that. "And don't pretend like you're actually hurt because you're not Lauren. In fact you're well on your way to moving on aren't you?" Lauren didn't respond to the question nor did she respond to the pointed look that Tamsin was giving her. Tamsin softly chuckled and she took a step closer to Lauren, "You were with that strung out bitch weren't you?" Tamsin smirked as Lauren took a step back from her, "Did you let her touch you? I'm certain you did because we all know how much you want her to fuck you stupid." Tamsin continued to walk closer to Lauren which made her step away from Tamsin and when she did Lauren ended up bumping against the desk. She was now trapped between it and Tamsin. Tamsin reached out to run her finger lightly down Lauren's cheek before to took a firm hold of Lauren's chin, "Darling do you really think I'd let that coked up bitch win something that I've worked to damn hard for?" Tamsin blue eyes bore in Lauren as she whispered, "If you do then she really must have fucked you good."
Lauren's hands were balled up in a tight fist that caused her nails to cut into the palms of them. Tamsin's jealousy and anger towards Bo was almost comical and the fact that the other blonde was assuming they had slept together made a smirk break out on Lauren's face then she demanded, "Let me go Tamsin."
Tamsin stared at her a moment longer then roughly let go of her chin and remarked, "You know Lauren you're not so high and mighty as you like to think you are. You're just as fucked up as the rest of us are."
"Tamsin shut the fuck up." Tamsin had a stunned look on her face and before she could say anything Lauren let loose the pent-up anger that she had been holding onto since the previous day, "You don't know shit about me. If you did then you would know that I don't think I'm above you or Bo or Evony. Although in Evony's case I think she is taking the cake in being the most twisted of us all. But it doesn't matter. You don't know me. You'll never know me and you don't even care to know me." Lauren ran her hand through her hair before giving Tamsin a look of finality, "So cut the jealousy bullshit and leave me the fuck alone."
Lauren shoved her way past Tamsin and headed out of the office. Tamsin watched as Lauren left. She might have just been told to leave Lauren alone, but that didn't mean she had to actually follow Lauren's wishes, so she quickly chased after the other blonde.
From her seat in the restaurant Bo had seen a flurry of blonde hair come out of the kitchen which instantly made her think it was Tamsin, but then she caught the profile of the blonde and she instantly recognised who it was. Not excusing herself she jumped up from the table and ran over to catch Lauren. Lauren felt someone grab onto her arm and she was about to give them a piece of her mind when she saw it was Bo which caused her to hesitate a moment then she jerked her arm away and spat, "Don't fucking touch me."
Bo held her hands up defensively and remarked, "I won't touch you then. Although last night you assumed I was ready to."
Lauren shook her head she didn't have time to deal with any version of Bo at the moment even if the woman looked like sex wrapped up in a leather skirt. "Bo I don't have time for whatever coked up game you're about to throw my way. I got my fill of it this morning and frankly I've had my fill of you. So go back to whatever whore you were eating with, or weren't, and leave me alone."
Lauren's words felt like a slap to Bo and she retaliated the only way she knew how, "Leave you alone? Who's the one who came running to me last night wanting who the fuck knows then begged me to get her high?" Lauren nervously looked around and Bo realised she was exposing one of Lauren's skeletons. So she grinned as she mocked her, "'Make me forget. Make me forget Bo.' I guess you don't want to forget anymore huh? I guess you only want me when Tamsin doesn't want you. Is that right Lauren?" Bo stepped closer to Lauren which caused her to invade the blonde's personal space and she smirked as she said in a low voice, "But I'll always want you Lauren. No matter how fucked up you think I am. Because you and I are exactly the same and I am the only person who will ever understand how fucked you are."
Lauren began to laugh. She could recognise that she was experiencing a instability in her emotions, but Bo saying that they were exactly the same was hilarious. Lauren calmed down then bluntly stated, "I maybe fucked up Bo, but you and I are nothing alike. Your near obsession with me is ridiculous. I may have had a momentary lapse in judgement in thinking that you might actually know how to handle basic human emotions, but I was completely wrong. My problems can be fixed Bo. You on the other hand are fucking mess that I have no desire to be around."
Lauren putting Bo in her place only turned Bo on and she smiled, "You're so sexy when you're angry. Have I ever told you that?"
Tamsin had walked just walked into the dining from the kitchen and when she saw Lauren and Bo by the entrance she began to seethe at the sight in front of her. Bo and Lauren were standing close together and Bo looked like she was about to kiss Lauren. Tamsin walked through the dining room and as she walked by a table where a couple was eating she picked a steak knife up off the table. Lauren saw Tamsin coming towards them and the anger written on her face told Lauren that the impending confrontation wouldn't be a pleasant one. But the confrontation never happened.
It had been quick and Bo had barely felt a thing except when the sharp point of the knife had entered the intercostal space between her third and fourth ribs. It felt like how she imagined a hot knife going through butter would feel. Quick and painless. The coke in Bo's system had dulled any pain afterward, but she knew right away something wasn't right and that every second of her life way passing away. Bo saw the look of horror on Lauren's face and she knew her assessment had been correct. Something was wrong. Bo gave Lauren a weak smirk, "Guess I can leave you alone now." Then everything went black.
Lauren was too stunned to say or do anything. The scene of events that had just taken place left had her speechless. Lauren saw a petite dark haired woman run over to Bo, who had fallen to the floor, and she checked her pulse before she yelled, "Someone call 911!" Lauren had seen the young woman before. She just couldn't remember where. She looked at Tamsin who also looked amazed by fact that she had stabbed Bo. The knife was no longer in her hand and was embedded deep inside the now unconscious woman on the floor. Lauren quietly asked, "What did you do?"
Tamsin continued to stare at Bo's body and the large pool of blood that started to form under and around it. She stabbed Bo. And for what? Some woman who no longer wanted anything to do with her? Tamsin realised how stupid and how much shit she had just gotten herself into. She looked up at Lauren who was looking at her and she quickly stammered, "I-I-Shit."
Lauren watched as Tamsin bolted from the restaurant. She had half the mind to go after her, but another part of her had to make sure Bo was alright and by the ashen, waxy look to her skin she knew that wasn't the case. The young woman looked up at her and demanded, "What happened?" Lauren couldn't speak and the woman scowled at her and ordered, "Don't go the fuck anywhere. If you do I'll have you arrested."
Lauren nodded. It was only minutes later did the paramedics arrived and began to work on Bo. Several times the heart monitor stopped and each time it did Lauren felt herself get sick. Lauren knew Bo was going to die. Her heart had started and stopped so many times that there was no way it could fully recover. Lauren didn't have time to process her feelings on the entire situation. After Bo had been stabilised and the emergency team had rushed to take her to the hospital the young woman in the professional, but stylish suit demanded that she be taken into custody. As the police escorted Lauren out to the waiting squad car she realised who the woman was. Kenzi Malikov. A woman who was a recent and new patron to the club who also was a successful up and coming lawyer. Lauren was shoved into the back of a cop car and as the door slammed closed she wondered who the young attorney was to Bo.
"Evony where the fuck are you?" Tamsin yelled as she walked into the well decorated penthouse of the business mogul. She ran up the stairs not caring about what the woman could potentially be doing. Tamsin barged into Evony's room only to see some dark haired man on top of her and grunting away like he was actually doing something. "Hey asshole get the fuck out of here."
The man stopped what he was doing and he glared at Tamsin asking, "Who the fuck are you?"
Tamsin gave Evony a pointed look that included an arched eyebrow and the brunette rolled her eyes in annoyance, "You need to leave Keith." The man looked down at her and she ordered, "Now."
The man shook his head then got out of the bed not caring about his nudity in front of Tamsin. As soon as he was dressed and out of the room Tamsin quietly told Evony, "I stabbed Bo."
Evony began to laugh because it was absurd to think that Tamsin would have the balls to stab someone. She got up and remarked, "I know you've dreamed about it Tam, but there's no way you would have stabbed Bo." She gave her a matter of fact look, "No matter how many times she's boned Lauren." Tamsin held up her blood stained hands for Evony to see and the woman gaped at her before she completely went off on Tasmin, "What the fuck have you done? Do you know how much you have screwed not only yourself, but also me?" Evony ran her hand through her thick brown hair, "I cannot be associated with this or you. You have to go Tamsin."
"What do you mean you can't be associated with me?" Tamsin asked incredulously as she walked over Evony.
Evony held up her hand and backed up, "It means exactly what you think it means. You've fucked me over. Stabbing Bo brings unnecessary heat on to me via you. So you need to leave and never get in contact with me again. No matter how much this shit has cooled over. Do you fucking understand Tamsin?"
"But Ev-"
"Do you fucking understand Tamsin?" Evony repeated enunciating every syllable clear enough for the blonde to hear.
Tamsin shouldn't have been surprised by how Evony was responding, but she was and she felt betrayed. They had known each other for years. She had given Evony so much of herself. Pieces of herself she had never shared with anyone else. Tamsin scoffed, "If you don't fucking help me Evony I will destroy you."
"Sweetie go ahead, but you know I am above you and you know I helped you to get where you are. Are your seriously going to bite the hand that literally feeds you?" Tamsin stood their seething at the woman's flippant attitude. Evony smiled, "That's what I thought now get the fuck out of here Tamsin."
Tamsin scowled at Evony even though she wanted to beat the fuck out of her, but she knew Scott would be up here in an instant. Tamsin turned to leave the room and as she just crossed the threshold she commented, "They'll come for you regardless Evony. Your ass can only stay hidden for so long."
Evony grinned and retorted, "Dear that's why I have other people's asses in the slings that they're in. Bye-bye Tamsin."
Tamsin angrily left the penthouse and she began to plot her escape from the city and most likely the country. Evony walked downstairs in her silk black robe and she found Scott sitting on the couch watching a football game and he asked, "What was her deal?"
Evony walked over to the bar and she poured herself a glass of wine, "Tamsin just stabbed and most likely killed our newest investor."
Scott stood up and exclaimed, "You're shitting me? Didn't think a gal like her had the stones to do something like that."
Evony drained her glasses and scoffed, "Yeah well she did and now we need to kill her." Scott stood there with an amazed look on his face and Evony explained, "She knows too much Scott and she can be linked back to me too easily especially since I had a momentary lapse in judgement and invested in that restaurant of hers. She needs to go. Tonight if possible."
Scott hesitated then he asked, "Ev you sure? I mean you and her-"
"Me and her are nothing Scott. Get the job done or I'll find someone else who can kill two birds with one stone."
Scott quickly nodded then left out of her penthouse. Evony picked up the bottle of wine to pour herself a fresh glass and after taking a long sip she carefully placed it back down murmuring, "Tamsin you fucking idiot." She took another drink from her glass then took a deep breath, "It was nice loving you while it lasted.
