Chapter 12

Goody's Café…

Bo and Lauren sat in a booth towards the back of the Café. Bo ordered a BLT and Lauren opted for a chicken caesar salad. They made small talk as they finished their lunch.

"So, can I interest you in a slice of our famous apple pie?" Their waitress, Jasmine asked as she eyed Bo appreciatively. Jasmine was a young woman in her mid-twenties, dark burgundy hair that was up in a loose bun, she had olive skin and beautiful green eyes. Lauren was a little jealous at the way she kept shamelessly flirting with Bo and finding reasons to touch her while she took their orders. She all but ignored Lauren as she hovered around Bo, making sure she was taken care of.

"Yeah, that would be great, we'll share a slice." Bo answered with a friendly smile.

Jasmine placed a hand on Bo's forearm giving it a little squeeze, "coming right up, beautiful." She then winked at Bo and walked away.

Lauren let out a small chuckle and shook her head. She couldn't believe how jealous she was feeling at the moment. Logically, she knew she had nothing to be jealous about, Bo was with her, Bo loved her, yet Lauren couldn't help the way she was feeling. Jealousy was such a foreign thing for her; she had never felt jealous over anyone she had dated, seriously or otherwise.

"Baby, are you okay?" Bo asked as she placed her hand over Lauren's on the table.

"Yeah… it's nothing Bo." Lauren shrugged.

"No, it's definitely something, what is it?" Bo looked at Lauren curiously.

Lauren let out a slow breath as she made eye contact with Bo. "It's just… I'm experiencing a lot of firsts with you." Lauren squeezed Bo's hand gently. "Bo, I have never in my life been a jealous person… But I swear, if that waitress touches you one more time, I'm going to lose it."

Bo looked at Lauren with a smirk. But before she had a chance to respond Jasmine returned with the pie and their check. She placed the pie in front of Bo and slid the check under Bo's hand that rested on the table.

Jasmine leaned forward and whispered in Bo's ear, "My numbers on the ticket call me sometime beautiful." Bo pulled away and was about to set her straight when Lauren spoke up.

"Excuse me." Lauren's tone was controlled and stern. Jasmine looked over at Lauren with an annoyed glare. "Do you not see that we're together?"

"Babe…" Bo said, trying to defuse the situation.

"No Bo." Lauren raised her hand, stopping Bo from proceeding with whatever it was she was going to say. "I've had enough." Lauren returned her attention back to the waitress, who had her arms folded across her chest, as she continued to glare at Lauren. "I have sat here and watched as you openly flirted with and repeatedly touched my girlfriend. Now, I absolutely understand the attraction you may have for her, she's beautiful, and sexy, and so much more you'll never know so let me make one thing clear, she is mine and I don't share."

Bo looked at Lauren wide-eyed and surprised by the way Lauren handled the situation. Bo quickly slid out of the booth, and threw down a handful of money to cover the check. She stepped around the waitress, taking Lauren's hand, silently encouraging her to stand; she led Lauren out of the Café to her beat up old Camaro that was parked in the alleyway. As they reached the car Bo let go of Lauren's hand and opened the passenger door for her. Lauren paused before getting in, taking in Bo's unreadable expression. Lauren was worried that she crossed a line and not only embarrassed her girlfriend, but pissed her off as well.

Lauren was about to speak when Bo shook her head and said, "get in." Bo walked around and got into the driver's seat. Lauren got in and closed the door; she took a deep breath and shifted in her seat so she could face Bo.

"Bo, I'm sor-" Lauren didn't get to finish her apology, she was immediately pulled in and kissed hard. It took Lauren a moment to catch up with what was going on, but soon she was kissing Bo just as hard.

Bo grazed Lauren's lower lip with her tongue, causing Lauren to immediately respond by opening her mouth. The blonde moaned as Bo's tongue danced with hers. Bo continued to kiss Lauren passionately as she moved to straddle the doctor. They broke the kiss and panted heavily, resting their foreheads together.

"I thought you were angry with me?" Lauren whispered, squeezing Bo's waist and pulling her closer.

"Far from it." Bo began to rock her hips as she pulled back to look into Lauren's honey colored eyes. "Show me, show me who I belong to." Bo unbuttoned her pants and guided one of Lauren's hands into them, letting her feel that not only was she not wearing underwear, but also how wet she was.

With her free hand Lauren pulled Bo into a searing kiss as her other hand stroked Bo's bundle of nerves gently. Bo gripped the head rest as she continued to rock her hips, seeking more contact with Lauren's fingers. Lauren began to kiss and nip the brunette's neck and chest, leaving a trail of tiny red marks. Bo cried out as Lauren buried two fingers deep inside of her. She arched her back, flattening her hands against the roof of the car, as she continued to ride Lauren's fingers.

"Are you mine Bo?" Lauren husked as she watched Bo come undone above her.

Bo looked down at Lauren and panted out, "yes baby… oh god! I'm yours, all yours." Bo leaned forward and kissed Lauren thoroughly, burying her hands in blonde tresses. Lauren curled her fingers slightly, hitting that perfect spot inside of Bo, over and over again. Bo's eyes rolled back and fluttered shut as her orgasm hit, making her cum hard screaming Lauren's name. Lauren continued to pump in and out of Bo gently, helping her to ride the waves of her orgasm.

After a few moments Bo slumped over, resting her head on Lauren's shoulder while trying to catch her breath. Lauren carefully removed her hand from Bo's pants and placed a lingering kiss on the brunette's soft neck.

"You okay, love?" Lauren asked softly.

"Yeah, I just need a minute." Bo mumbled into Lauren's neck. Bo slowly sat up and looked at Lauren with a goofy grin plastered across her face. "You're gonna have to drive babe, my legs are useless right now. That was just… wow!"

"Really, that good huh?" Lauren smirked.

"Oh yeah." Bo tucked a strand of blonde locks behind Lauren's ear. "Seriously, no one has ever even come close to making me cum as hard or as often as you do, not to mention, you hit that perfect spot inside of me every single time." Bo winked at a blushing blonde. "By the way… jealous Lauren is so fuckin' hot!"

Lauren chuckled and kissed Bo's lips softly. "We better get going; we have to meet Hale in…" Lauren glanced at her watch, "20 minutes."

Bo gave Lauren a quick kiss before shifting so the blonde can get out of the car and into the driver's seat. Bo straightened out her clothes, leaned over and kissed Lauren's cheek as she settled in behind the wheel. "I love you, babe."

"I love you too." Lauren replied kissing Bo once more before pulling out of the alleyway and onto the street.

The Dal…

Hale arrived at the Dal about 1:45 and took a seat at the bar. Trick was in his usual spot behind the bar taking inventory and prepping for happy hour.

"Hey Trick." Hale said as he placed his signature fedora on the bar top.

"Hale, it's good to see you my friend." Trick walked over and shook the detective's hand. "What brings you here so early?" Trick asked.

"I'm meeting Lauren at 2; I have some news about her stalker ex."

"Good news perhaps? That woman can definitely use some good news in regards to that situation." Trick stated as he placed a cup of coffee in front of Hale.

"Actually, I think it will be." Hale looked towards the stairs that led downstairs. "Is she in her room?"

"No, she accompanied Bo to a doctor's appointment; they should be here any minute." Trick leaned on the bar across from Hale.

"So, Lil Mama tells me the pair has fallen pretty hard for one another." Hale grinned as he sipped his coffee.

"So it seems." Trick smiled brightly. "I have never seen Bo so happy before, Lauren has been really good for her. You know, I always thought she'd end up with Dyson down the road. I thought that maybe he would be the one to get her to settle down." Trick chuckled. "But from what I can see, it's going to be a beautiful blonde doctor that is going to make an honest woman out of my granddaughter."

"Whoa, are they that serious? Are they talking marriage?" Hale asked.

"No, not yet anyways, but a grandfather knows Hale. You watch and see Lauren is the one… I could feel it in my bones." Trick laughed

"Yeah, well let's hope that doesn't happen anytime soon, I don't think Dyson could take it. He's still adjusting to the fact that there will never be a 'Bo and Dyson' the sequel."

Just then Bo and Lauren walked into the Dal hand in hand, goofy smiles plastered across their faces. They approached the bar and greeted Trick and Hale. At Lauren's request Trick joined them as they all sat at a table near the pool table.

"So, what were you able to find out?" Lauren prompted nervously. Bo found Lauren's hand under the table and intertwined their fingers, giving it a gentle squeeze. Lauren immediately relaxed at the supportive gesture.

"My contacts in the states did some investigating for me and there has been a serious shit storm in the LAPD and Detective Nadia Barone was in the middle of it all. The FBI and the DEA created a joint task force to take down the Delgado/Mendez Mexican drug cartel. The Delgado/Mendez cartel is huge, they are based deep in Mexico but their reach spans across the U.S. and parts of Canada as well. Anyway, during the infiltration and investigation into the cartel it was discovered that several members of the U.S. Border Patrol, Customs, and Police were all on the Cartel's payroll. One of the main ring leaders that helped the Cartel secure connections with members of these agencies was none other than the Lead Narcotics Detective for the LAPD, Nadia Barone. Her entire unit was arrested and charged for their involvement with not only aiding a well-known drug cartel, but also smuggling and distributing narcotics in Los Angeles as well as in San Diego. She was up to her eyeballs in endless charges. So to avoid going to prison for 30 years, she rolled over and gave up some pretty big players in the Cartel."

"So she got away with it?" Bo asked as Lauren sat quietly and took it all in.

"No, not quite, she took a plea deal. She pleaded guilty to a few lesser charges, and received 8 years, eligible for parole in 5." Hale looked at Lauren as she processed the information. "Lauren, I don't think that you will have to worry about her at all anymore. Her life is over. Even if she makes parole in 5 years, she is going to have to go into hiding. The Cartel has already green-lighted a hit on her. The FBI will have to put her in the witness protection program, she will forever have the FBI keeping tabs on her, and she won't even be able to leave the U.S."

"Wow… this is certainly a lot to take in." Lauren swallowed hard. "Part of me is so relieved that I don't have to constantly look over my shoulder, and the other part of me is in shock that she was involved so deeply with a Cartel of all things."

"Well, sometimes money and power can cloud a person's better judgment." Hale sighed. "But there's more."

"More? How much more can there be?" Trick asked in disbelief.

"There is the matter of some property that the FBI couldn't confiscate because the owner of that property is Karen Beattie, AKA Lauren Lewis." Hale quirked an eyebrow at Lauren playfully as he pulled out his phone and read a list of items that was sent to him. "A 2013 Bentley Supersports Convertible ISR and a custom 2012 Ducati 1199 Panigale. As well as any property you left in the residence you shared with Nadia in Calabasas, although the house was seized by the FBI and DEA."

"My name was never on the deed, and to be honest I don't want anything that is in that house, except for my vehicles. Did the authorities seize the bank accounts as well?" Lauren asked.

"Nadia's yes, as well as a joint account you guys had. But anything that was solely in your name can't be confiscated by the authorities. If you want your property you'll have to take a trip to Los Angeles to retrieve it. The authorities had to impound your vehicles until they sorted out who was the rightful owner of said property. But they will only release the property to you in person. You'll have to sign a release." Hale said as he placed a hand on Lauren's. "It looks like you'll finally be able to put all this behind you and be happy."

"Thank you, Hale. You have no idea how relieved I am right now." Lauren's tears began to cascade down her face. Bo wrapped an arm around her and pulled her in close, kissing the side of her head. "I feel like I can breathe easy again. How can I ever repay you, all of you?" Lauren said as she looked around the table.

"No thank you necessary, just doing my job Doc." Hale said as he patted Lauren's hand.

"Yeah, I agree, I would do anything to help you or your family." Tricked chimed in. "I think this calls for a celebratory drink." Trick got up and made his way over to the bar.

"I'll go get Lil Mama; she won't want to miss out on a free drink." Hale stood up leaving Bo and Lauren alone at the table.

"You okay Hun?" Bo asked as she stroked the blonde's hair.

"Yeah, I'm okay." Lauren shifted so she can face Bo. "There is a lot to think about. But first things first, I'll have to take a trip to LA and close that chapter of my life once and for all."

Bo put her head down and furrowed her brow. Lauren tilted her head and watched Bo curiously.

"Bo? What's the matter?" Lauren's voice was laced with concern.

"Nothing… I… nothing." Bo shook her head and avoided eye contact with Lauren. Lauren reached out and gently lifted Bo's chin so that they could make eye contact.

"Tell me." Lauren stated softly.

"I'm happy for you; you finally get your life back." Bo sighed heavily. "Are you gonna move back?"

"Move back? Back where?" Lauren was confused by the question.

"Back to LA or back to Quebec, where your family is." Bo shrugged.

"Bo, no. When I left LA, I left for good. I never wanted to live there to begin with. I only agreed to it because of Nadia. As far as Quebec, I hadn't thought about it." Lauren took Bo's hand into hers. "Bo do you think because of this new development that I am going to pack up and leave, leave you?"

"I, I don't know. I just…" Bo let out a breath. "I know it sounds stupid, but I just thought that maybe you would want to get back to your life, a life away from Toronto."

"Babe, the only life I want is one that you are in. I am so in love with you Bo Dennis, I have never in my life experienced anything like this." Lauren gestured between herself and Bo. "I'm not going to walk away from us; my life is here in Toronto, with you." Lauren placed a warm, gentle hand on Bo's cheek. Bo closed her eyes and leaned into the touch. "I'm in this for the long haul, I love you."

Bo closed the gap and kissed Lauren with everything she had, in that moment all of her sudden fears of Lauren high tailing it out of town dissipated. Bo continued to kiss Lauren deeply and slowly until the need for air made itself present. Bo broke the kiss and rested her forehead against Lauren's.

"I'm in it for the long haul too. I love you so much Lauren, I'm sorry for letting my doubt take over." Bo whispered.

"Don't apologize babe, believe me I understand." Lauren pulled back with a smile gracing her lips. "So, do you think your grandfather will give you a few days off?"

"I'm sure he wouldn't mind, why?" Bo grinned.

"I was thinking maybe you and Kenzi would want to come with me to LA. I really need you with me Bo to close that chapter."

"Of course I'll go with you babe. And I'm sure Kenzi would love to go as well." Bo gave Lauren a chaste kiss on the lips. "Wait till she finds out you own a motorcycle, and can I just say, picturing about you on a bike… in leather, is making me really horny right now." Bo used her index finger to trace Lauren's jawline.

"Well now, how about we go somewhere…" Lauren leaned in and kissed Bo slowly before whispering in her ear. "…and do something about that." Lauren took Bo's ear between her teeth and gave it a little nip before she sucked it gently, sending a shiver down Bo's spine.

"What up biatches!" Kenzi shouted ruining the moment. "I heard the good news, congrats Hotpants!" Kenzi hugged Lauren tightly. Bo cleared her throat and tried to calm her raging libido. "BoBo, why you looking so flustered… wait a minute…" Kenzi looked between Bo and Lauren. "Did I just interrupt something?" Lauren blushed profusely as she looked away, avoiding Kenzi's scrutinizing eyes.

"Thank you Kenzi and no you weren't. We were, uh, just about to join everyone at the bar." Lauren smiled sheepishly.

"Yeah, uh huh, nice try Doc, but I know Bo better than anyone else and for her to look as flustered as she does, you had to have whispered something pretty nau-"

"Kenz! Let it go, please." Bo said with chuckle.

"Fine, let's go get our celebratory drink on then." Kenzi danced over to the bar excitedly. Nothing made Kenzi happier than a free drink, and maybe Hale, shirtless.

Bo stood to her feet and offered her hand to Lauren.

"Come on my sexy biker babe. Let's go get that drink." Bo smiled as Lauren took her hand. The couple made their way back up to the bar where Trick had already poured a generous shot of tequila for each of them. They all raised there glasses and toasted to Lauren and her new life, Nadia free.

The Clubhouse…

"Die you robot whore!" Kenzi yelled at the T.V. screen as she enjoyed another invigorating gaming session. The house rumbled with the sounds of gunfire and dying robot hookers. Kenzi had the surround sound cranked to 10. She seen her phone light up next to her on the couch, it was a text from Hale informing her he was at the front door. She paused the game and went to open the door for him, video game music still blaring in the background.

"Hey boy, what are you doing here?" Kenzi asked as she stepped aside letting him in.

"I got off early tonight, so I dropped by to see if maybe you wanted to grab a pizza with me?" Hale had his signature grin on display as he looked at Kenzi.

"Have I ever turned down a pizza?" Kenzi smiled back. "Let me grab a jacket and leave Bo a note."

"Where is she anyways? Trick said her gave her and the Doc the night off." Hale asked curiously.

"They're still celebrating." Kenzi said with a smirk as she slipped her jacket on.

"Did they go out? We should call them and see if they want to meet up." Hale suggested.

Kenzi walked over to the couch, grabbed the remote and turned the television off. As soon as the sounds of the game died out, cries of passion were heard loud and clear throughout the house. There was a rhythmic thumping and the sound of Bo's voice as she called Lauren's name along with some choice curse words, coming from the bedroom. Kenzi looked at Hale with a raised eyebrow.

"Ah, I see now why the volume on the T.V. was at a deafening level." Hale laughed. There was another loud thump that came from the bedroom and a muffled oh fuck and then things got quiet. Hale looked over at Kenzi with a smirk. "Maybe that was the grand finale."

Kenzi shook her head, and held her index finger in the air. "Wait for it…" Just then the rhythmic thumping started up again, only this time it was Lauren's voice that could be heard as she screamed out a chant of yes's and oh Bo's.

"Daaayuum! Go Bo!" Hale laughed loudly as he brought his fist up to his mouth, stopping just shy of his lips.

"Yeah, tell me about it. They have been going at it since we left the Dal earlier." Kenzi said as she wrote Bo a quick note.

"Are you kidding me!? That was like 5 hours ago, no way!" Hale said wide-eyed.

"Yes way! This is normal for them. If I go by averages, they will go another round, maybe two, before they come out for dinner that is if they don't fall into a sex induced coma first. My insatiable bestie has finally found someone that can keep up with her."

"No wonder she isn't interested in a reunion with Dyson. He's my boy and all, but there isn't enough energy drinks in the world to compete with that. No guy could." Hale said shaking his head.

"Tell me about it." Kenzi mumbled. "Let's go I'm starving." Kenzi grabbed Hale by the arm and ushered him out the door.

30 minutes later, Bo's bedroom…

"Oh my god! That was…" Bo lay next to Lauren, both women panting hard trying to catch their breath. "I think you fucked me stupid, I can't even find the right words to explain how good that was." Bo giggled as she placed a kiss on Lauren's naked shoulder.

"I know what you mean, describing that as amazing doesn't do it justice." Lauren closed her eyes and concentrated on controlling her breathing. "The things you do to me Bo…" Lauren looked over at Bo. "You are an amazing lover, the best I've ever had."

"I'm only amazing because I have an equally amazing lover." Bo smiled lovingly at the blonde. "I know I said it before, but it's definitely worth repeating, I am having the best sex ever with you." Bo leaned over and kissed Lauren's lips gently.

The women snuggled up to each other as exhaustion began to take over.

"Bo?"

"Hmm?"

"I think I want to take that job with Dr. Caravelle." Lauren said softly.

"Really?" Bo smiled brightly.

"Yeah, I think it would be a great opportunity." Lauren propped herself up on her elbow so she can look at Bo. "With all this Nadia drama behind me, I'm ready to start my life again, here, with you… if you're okay with that."

"I'm better than okay with that." Bo cupped Lauren cheek and ran the pad of her thumb softly back and forth on Lauren's cheek bone. "Words cannot express how happy I am that you want to stay here and start a life with me in it. I love you so much Lauren." Bo's eyes welled up with tears.

"I can't even imagine my life without you in it, or Kenzi." Lauren rolled her eyes and chuckled. "I love you Bo, more than I ever thought possible."

Bo kissed Lauren deeply once more before they settled in, wrapped up in each other. They both drifted off into a peaceful sleep, content and happy. Things were finally looking up for Lauren and she couldn't wait to see what the future would hold for her and Bo. All she needed to do now is go to LA and close that horrible chapter of her life once and for all.
