Chapter 12 – Communications

Thursday 9th May - Lauren's Room

Lauren did as she was told and grabbed two beers from the fridge. She loved Tamsin and respected her opinion, but she always felt that Tamsin was hard on anyone that Lauren had dated, calling it her 'Shit Monitor'. Walking back to where Tamsin was sitting she sat beside her and readied herself for the 'Tough Love' talk. Lauren this time had her argument ready, she would say that she did not know Bo like she did, that she needed to spend time with her to see the other side to her. That Bo was more than what Dyson had said and what the rumour had been. Bo was smart, warm, funny and a great listener, mainly as she hated to talk about herself. Lauren inhaled deeply, and squared her shoulders, she was ready for Tamsin.

Tamsin surprised as her instead of arguing with her, she simply listened to the whole story of them together. Tamsin had been supportive, understanding and asking for details like an excited teenager and Lauren was enjoying sharing it all with her. Lauren had explained what happened yesterday in her office, the talk on the beach that night and how they may have rushed in too fast and deciding to take things slower, and then the date they had been on today. Of course Tamsin wanted to see the Irish dance and, for reasons known only to Lauren, she showed her.

Lauren and Tamsin had been taking nonstop for three hours while empting the hotel mini bar. They had already drunk the cans of Heineken, mini bottles of vodka and were now on the mini bottles of red wine. The hotel mini bars are not known to have the best prices, but this was going to be a small price for Lauren to pay, both the cost and the monster hangover the following day, mixing drinks was never a good idea. Luckily for Lauren it was Tamsin who had drank most of them.

"You know what they say? Never mix the grape and grain if you want to stay sane." Lauren slurred over, opening the bottle of red and passing it to Tamsin.

"I thought it was 'beer then wine is fine 'but 'wine then beer is fear', so I think we're fine?" Tamsin laughed over.

"True anyway you drank most of them, I only had two beers, and so a quick calculation in my head, and yes, I should be fine and sober by 7am if I stop drinking now." Lauren replied.

"How do you know?" Tamsin asked "Is it a science thing, go on do it on me. From what I've drunk tonight when will I be 100% sober?" Tamsin sat up.

"Ok, so it's all about the alcohol burn rate. It's more maths than science. So based on an average body mass, which you are, as you make up mass on muscle, you should burn 5ml of alcohol an hour. These Heineken's have 5% on a 355ml can. So that would equal 17.75ml per can, so times that by four cans..."

"Erm three. I dropped most of my last one watching you dance!" Tamsin interrupted.

"It was a drop on your hand, but ok, let us say three and a half. So that would mean it's approx. 62ml by a 5% burn rate an hour." Lauren mentally calculated an answer "It's about just over 12hrs to burn off your beer alone. Should we include the vodka?" Lauren asked.

"Shit, really? No we can stop there Lau. Some things are best not actually known. I thought it would be a couple, like maybe an hour each beer or something. So that's where I'm going wrong. Any quick fix cures?" Tamsin studied the bottle of wine noticing the Cabernet Sauvignon was 14%.

"Loads of old wife tales, but nothing solid or scientific I'm afraid. The only way not to get a hangover is to restrict your drinking. Rather funny that a 16th century English dramatist suggests 'having the hair of the dog', in other words to drink more of what harmed you to cure you. This saying came from curing dog bites and the misguided notion that you should take a hair from the dog that bit you and place it on the wound. That obviously don't work, dog bites can cause nasty infections and you'll need a rabies jab also. So the original saying and the new reason are absolute cobs waffle."

They were in fits of giggles and laughter when Lauren's phoned beeped.

*Beep Beep* BO – "Hey, guess you are staying in? Shame as I miss you already. What you doing tomorrow. I'm free till 2pm? Bo x"

*Beep Beep* LAUREN - "Just with Tam. She knows that we're dating, she saw us outside the room. I hope that's ok? LL x"

*Beep Beep* BO – "Well it wasn't a secret, Kenzi knows too now. She saw me happy and apparently that's not "normal" LOL. I would have liked more time just us, but its ok. How is she? Bo x"

"Who's that texting you? Is it Bo? Ahh, what's she saying?" Tamsin tried to move to look over Lauren's shoulder but fell over her cramped arm. "Ahh, my arm, it's dead. It's my lefty I could be having a heart attack." Tamsin winced.

"Nah, you would have dropped the bottle of wine," Lauren laughed over to her friend, "and yes it is Bo. I'm just telling her that you know and she says that Kenzi knows. So it's all out in the open now. Well except for Dyson, but he can wait a bit longer" Lauren smiled over to Tamsin, who had now sat back up and was rubbing her arm, with the wine bottle still firmly in place.

"Well you are being unsociable on your phone and let's not talk about your bad nursing manners, my arm is dead. Ouch..." Tamsin pulled Lauren in closer and stuck her arm out. "Fix it doc"

"Argh, you are a terrible drunk. It's just because you have leaned on it. Raise it above your head and let me finish my text conversation with Bo. Then after, I promise to help you, ok?"

"Ok, well hurry as you're too happy and smiley and it's making me nauseous." Tamsin laughed.

*Beep Beep* LAUREN – "Fine, except she's here now and thinks I'm being unsociable on my phone. Also I'm 'too happy and smiley' LOL. What did Kenzi say? LL x"

*Beep Beep* BO – "Kenz is happy when I'm happy. Bo x"

"You should invite them to lunch tomorrow, us four as your first date as a couple with your best friends." Tam shouted over while pacing the room with her arm above her head.

*Beep Beep* LAUREN – "Tam wants lunch tomorrow, us four? What do you say? LL x"

*Beep Beep* BO – "Say yeah, Kenz and I've the same shift at 2pm. So when and where? Bo x"

*Beep Beep* LAUREN – "That's good. I'm 9am till 12noon then off till I start again from 6pm till 9pm. Tam starts at 4pm. So is 12.30pm ok? LL x"

*Beep Beep* BO – "Cool. Where? Bo x"

*Beep Beep* LAUREN – "Onions? LL x"

*Beep Beep* BO – "I was thinking more of a sandwich, but whatever you fancy, but don't you think I'm kissing you with onion breathe! LOL - Bo x"

Lauren read Bo's message and smiled.

*Beep Beep* LAUREN – "Haha, yeah you would! Sorry, what I meant was to meet in Onions. It's a restaurant walking distance from the hotel in El Marcato. Just behind the vodaphone shop. I've been a few times and it's nice. Do you want to go there? LL x"

*Beep Beep* BO – "*GRIN* Yeah, you're right I would of – haha. Sounds perfect, we'll find it, see you tmz at 12.30pm. Say night later? xx"

*Beep Beep* LAUREN – "Yeah sure. Have fun tonight…LL x"

Lauren sat looking at her phone, she noticed the last message Bo had not left her name but an extra kiss on the end, Lauren smiled. It was ridiculous that Lauren ended all her messages with her initials, after all the caller ID says who it is; it was just out of habit now. Habits can be broken though. Maybe Lauren would be more daring with Bo on text message?

"What you grinning at Lewis?"

"Nothing, well actually I got two kisses at the end of the last message and Bo asked me to text her goodnight. I know sound like a silly girl but I feel so, I don't know, alive and happy I guess. I can't help but smile. Am I being silly Tam? Am I crushing on an 'out of my league' beauty that's going to hurt me in time?" Lauren asked.

"Maybe" Tamsin said back casually, sitting back on the bed and drinking the wine.

"Oi that's not best friend duty. You say No Lauren. Your Amazing Lauren. She would be crazy not to like you Lauren. You are both smart and beautiful Lauren. She feels the same way Lauren. Stop worrying Lauren!" Lauren threw the pillow, hitting Tamsin on the arm and spilling some of her wine over the floor.

"Hey watch it. It's the last wine babes and that would be a real tragedy, not the lack of self-esteem you are displaying." Tamsin smiled over. "Anyway who needs me to tell you those things when you have your 'Inner Lauren' And don't try to deny it; I know that's who you really listen to at the end of the day." Laughed Tamsin.

"Shut up you." Lauren smile over. She knew that Tamsin was right, and she was just being paranoid. Just sometimes Lauren found it difficult to believe someone like Bo even existed. So perfectly beautiful, so charming, so thoughtful and caring and so full of life that Lauren felt happier just being with her. "So I've nothing to worry about?"

"Not too sure about that Lau, you're the only couple that I know that have chosen to start to date after sex? That's like stepping on the brake after the car has crashed. Madness if you ask me." Tamsin replied.

"You think we're a car crash?" Lauren asked

"Did I say that Lauren? No, I just don't know why you are stopping the good stuff? And replacing it was hand holding?" Tamsin laughed.

"Well because we still don't know what to make of our feelings yet. We don't want a relationship based solely on sex. That's what she had in the past and it has always ended badly. Bo has never dated before, and we're enjoying it. Dating is fun, it the brush of your hand, the anticipation of a kiss at the end of the night. It builds…."

Tamsin cut Lauren off "It builds frustration. You'll both be gushing like Niagara Falls!" Tamsin fell back onto the bed laughing.

"Not nice, and eugh Tamsin, is that all you think about? Really? Tell me again, why are you my best friend?" Lauren joined her and laughed with her.

Thursday 9th May - Bo's Beach Bar

"Hey Kenz come here a sec." Bo called over. "Busy tonight hey? I've just got a text from Lauren and before you back track from anything, we're going to lunch with her and Tam tomorrow. So remember what you said." Bo eyed at Kenzi, pointing her finger.

"Yeah yeah Bo Bo, play nice with the good doctor, I got it. I know how to behave you know. Besides I so desperately want your kitten healed lace up knee boots and if all it takes is a few smiles and to hold back on my bite then I can definitely do that!" Kenzi smiled back.

"Good, then it's still a deal. You can have them if you give her a try. Kenzi, I need to tell you something, and it will sound crazy." Bo turned to face Kenzi and held her shoulders. "I think I love her, I know it's soon, I know we don't know each other, but I feel like I'm addicted to her and I'm desperate for my next fix. I'm not sure, as I've never loved before, but this is what I've imagined love felt like. That's why we're dating, to see if it's more than attraction. But I already know it is, it's me that has to prove that to her, and I really want to. And I really want you to be with me 100%. Kenzi please don't just do it to get boots…"

"Fabulous Boots" Kenzi interrupted.

"Fabulous boots then, please see what I see. I think I'm going crazy otherwise."

"Don't worry I'll make sure that you stay grounded and will keep you on track. If this is your Mrs, then it will be ok. We need to follow simple rules thou Bo Bo or she will run for the hills like that twatting Julie Andrews woman. So dating, it's just what two people do to make it socially acceptable to have sex. Seeing as you have already done this I find the whole thing pointless, but seeing as this is what you both want, I'll humour you. But you need to follow Kenzi's Code." Kenzi pulled her phone from her back pocket and scrolled down her notes feature. "Right, I have this saved. It was sent from my second cousin Anechka, and I've tweaked it slightly, and I'll explain it for you. Got a pen? Here's some paper."

"So Rule One: You never say I love you first. You look desperado. And so important you don't say it in the first month."

"Rule Two: You need to wait before you declare your status of being girlfriends. Don't rush into it, wait until it feels right. Let the relationship go at its own pace but don't go scaring her away."

"Rule Three: Never talk about Ex's and never get back with an Ex while you're dating. Seriously talking about Dyson here. He needs to be told before he puts on any more moves."

"Rule Four: Don't try to over impress. We both know you're a sexy but you never finished school. She's a genius doctor. You have to keep it real. Lies over take people. So be honest and don't exaggerate. Like when you told me you could cook and you burnt the omelette." Kenzi laughed.

"Rule Five: Never reveal your deepest darkest secrets. Don't over-indulge. Treat dating like an interview. Review your good credentials and the best parts. Avoid the best sex ever story, that you dance to One Direction songs and number of sexual partners you have had."

"Rule Six: Don't be too available. Women like to be hunters as well as the hunted too sometimes. Use the 3 to 1 rule where you initiate only 3 to her 1 hook ups. Don't ask for more than 3 in a row, whether it's a quick coffee, to eat or a proper date."

"Rule Seven: Remember people can't read your mind, you need to communicate. The way to any relationship working is communication. Use your mouth for other things while you date."

"Rule Eight: Don't dangle others in front of each other. You may be in the early stages and not be exclusive yet but that don't mean you have to be disrespectful. Don't mention cute girls in front of her, don't eye up the checkout girl and don't flirt with others."

"Rule Nine: Don't let yourself go. You may get comfortable around her but you need to still make the effort to look hot. Lauren does not need to know yet that you pee with the bathroom door open or that you drink orange from the cartoon. Oh, that list could go on and on, but let's continue."

"Rule Ten: Never neglect your best friends. Kenzi still needs her Bo Bo love too. Right then, you got that? Any questions?"

"Kenzi this is charming and all, but does this really work?" Bo asked as she finished scribbling down the list.

"Of course, it's mostly common sense but trust me the brain reacts differently when you start dating. We have never had this problem before as you don't date and I'm an expert already." Kenzi pouted.

"Expert who's currently single" Bo teased. The reality hit Bo then like a wave of nausea rushing over her. This is all happening, she's falling in love or has already fallen. She's completely whipped. But what would that mean? Love can't survive on lies and avoiding topics or places. Lauren is smart and has stability, what could she offer? A knot started to form in her throat, she was not sure if she would cry or faint. "But your right, I didn't finish school and I can't tell her my past, so what we run forever. I might as well end this now. I was happy before, I can be again." Bo started to cry.

"No you weren't, you were miserable. And maybe it's time we re-visited that part of your life. We don't know what happened after you left. Either way, with Lauren or without, we're going back Bo. We're not going on like this. You were young when you ran, you were scared. We go back and face it. We're going back to LA and to Irwindale and we need to see what's what." Kenzi barely whispered back and stoked Bo's arm. "I know you are scared, but we just need to know. You done nothing wrong but run and what's the punishment for that hey?

"Involuntary Manslaughter is five years if I'm lucky." Bo replied

"Yes, but they need proof. We need to know what they know at the end of the day. We can ask Lauren and Tamsin. They can help you. I trust Tam and you trust Lauren. Not just yet, but we should get help. If we explain it right they will listen. Let talk about this after tomorrow's lunch." Kenzi picked up her tray and made her way back to the beach terrace.

"Ok" Bo said as her phoned beeped.

*Beep Beep* LAUREN – "Good Night Bo. LL x"

*Beep Beep* BO – "Good Night Lauren. Xxx"

"Three Kisses" Lauren said to herself before falling asleep.

Friday 10th May - Lauren's Office

Lauren was sat in her office, it was just gone 12noon, she needed to go but she had reports to finish and get ready for a meeting this afternoon. Lauren had been asked to work with the different department managers: Mr Samir, the Food and Beverage Manager in regard to food hygiene, preparation and storage, Mr Assem the Pool Safety Manager for the pH levels and bacteria identification and Mr Walaa, the Grounds Manager, to report of potential slips, trips and falls. Dr Maged had already told her not to get too involved as the more she did for the hotel, the more they would allow her to do. So now on top of her normal Doctors hours, she had a daily walk round the grounds looking for any potential hazards and checking the pools pH levels with her pool kit and reporting any findings. This meant a Head of Department meeting every Thursday with herself, the managers and the hotel owner to discuss her reports on her weekly inspections.

Today was Thursday, however Lauren had pushed back the meeting till 6pm today and no one objected for the delay. Lauren had worked in the hotel now for six weeks already, her opinion was taken seriously and she was respected by the department managers and the hotel owners. They understood that Lauren was only helping the hotel in the long run. Many legal cases are made from hotel accidents and illness and the Sentido had already been hit with a 2012 invoice of €150,000 from just one Holiday Tour Operator. The Sentido Diamond had over 20 Tour Operators with contracts, so as you can imagine this could be costly. The Sentido had mainly British, German, Russian and Italian guests with a few independent travellers from the USA.

Lauren had also been given new Travel Advise today that she needed to share with the others. Egypt was having political demonstrations and citizens from the USA were being asked to complete the 'Smart Traveller Enrolment Programme' or STEP as it was more known as. It's so that the US Embassy in Cairo is aware of all US Citizens in Egypt. Also Kenzi had to register with 'Registration of Canadians Abroad'. Lauren would have to ask Bo which one she would legally be under. The latest travel advice was 'Advise against all but essential travel' but the warnings did not include South Sinai resorts. It just meant travel into the desert or to the major cities was advised against. This meant that Cairo, Luxor and Alexandria were not an option now. The group known as 'The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood' were in protests following talks planning to remove the Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi. Supporters were already staging sit-ins throughout the country and shutting down cities. At the moment the President was still in charge, but for how long?

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office Advise for British travellers followed the same suit as USA and Canada, stay within the Sinai area. Last week Lauren had met with the FCO and the British Consulate and volunteered as a Medical Assistant. This now meant monthly FCO Meetings. Before Bo, Lauren's work schedule never bothered her, now she wished she had never got so involved with everything. Bo was dating Dyson then so she had thought it was a good idea to have a distraction. So not only following her job as Hotel Doctor 35hrs per week, Lauren also undertook daily hotel walks, weekly hotel meetings, monthly FCO meetings and volunteering to help the Desert Bedouins and being on call for the hotel and the FCO! She really needed to make a plan to spend time with Bo. Lauren needed Bo's work rota and would ask her today.

Lauren was packing away her bag when she saw the clock on the wall stating it was 12.20pm. Lauren grabbed the car keys from the hook and scribbled on a note pad that she had taken the car and would return it in an hour. Lauren did not want to be late; she would meet the others there.

Friday 10th May - Onions Restaurant

Onions is a small restaurant set just on the back road off El Marcato, a market road in Hadaba. The hotel Sentido Diamond is on the cuff between the two resorts. Although technically the hotel is in Naama Bay, it backs onto El Marcato which is in Hadaba. The owner, Walid Mohammed, has an infectious laugh, and almost anything makes him laugh. Lauren had found this place early on when Dr Maged had taken her for lunch in their first week together. It was nice, quiet and most importantly out of the hotel. Sometimes it was just good to get some 'alone' time. Lauren had seen more of the guests than she wanted to; everything from infections, lacerations, swellings, breaks, fevers and the worse stomach bugs. Nothing says friendly like asking for a stool sample from a stranger. Not surprising that those guests avoided her while on hotel walks. Lauren parked on the side road and noticed that Tamsin was already there but no sign yet of Bo or Kenzi. Lauren had not seen them on the drive; maybe they were late or maybe they had walked on the dirt track behind the hotel.

"Hi Tam. So you found it ok?" Lauren asked while taking the seat in front of her, leaving the two seats beside them, hoping that Bo would choose to sit next to her and Kenzi next to Tam.

"Yeah, I had to get a beer from across the way at the bar over there. This place lets you bring in your own. Strange they don't serve beer though hey?" Tamsin had ordered a bucket of six sakaras, a typical Egyptian beer. They were probably all for her, so Lauren ordered water when the waiter appeared.

"It's a Muslim run restaurant hun. Anyway a bit early no?" Lauren opened the bottle of water.

"Erm its beer o'clock. Somewhere in the world its 5pm. Remember that Lau." Tamsin laughed while drinking her Sakara.

"I guess everything to the East is then, so China, Singapore and Australia are all after 5pm. So are we drinking to the Aussies?"

"Why not, I met a girl once from Perth and she gave a new meaning to a 'Girl from Down Under' if you know what I mean." Tamsin joked.

"No I don't want to and P.S you are vile! Do you know that?" Lauren kicked her best friend lightly under the table.

Lauren noticed Kenzi first, she had a purple stripe added to her hair and was wearing a tight black skirt and ankle boots. Her top was a black lace up bodice and underneath was an arm length top in dark grey. Bo was walking beside her, her hair was in a French plait and was also wearing tight black jeans and a tight black tank top with knee high boots.

"We need shade" exclaimed Kenzi as she sat next to Tamsin. "It's hotter than hell out there." Kenzi grabbed a beer from the bucket in front of Tamsin and sat down beside her.

"Help yourself everyone" Tamsin folder her arms. "I don't mind buying you all a drink" she followed sarcastically.

"Great" Bo reached for one also and sat down next to Lauren.

"I was being sarcastic" Tamsin laughed

"Well we're hot and that was a longer walk than we thought it would be." Bo smiled over to Lauren. "You look nice"

"I drove up." Lauren replied. "I was running late. And you do know that wearing the colour black attracts the sun, if you want to remain cooler you should opt for a lighter colour like white."

"Well I do now. Any other tips for cooling down a person's body temperature. Just say, for example, I was all hot and bothered, what do you recommend?" Bo raised her eyebrow suggestively at Lauren.

"We us humans are endothermic creatures. We're warm bloodied organisms where not only can we generate our own heat we can take heat from exterior sources. To cool down we can remove clothing, as they trap in heat to the body, we also perspire to cool the body down. I've always found that cold water to the wrist will lower your body temperature as the skin is thin and contacts with the blood vessels. The best bet however is a cold towel to the back of your neck as it has nerve receptors there and will cool you instantly. Or use the ice from the bucket to rub on the back of your neck. This is called conduction and it will transfer the heat from one medium, like your body, to another via direct contact. In this case it would be melting an ice cube to your neck. The warmth of your neck is transferring to the ice cube, raising its temperature and causing it to melt." Lauren looked round the table and no-one had said a word. "Or you can just drink your beer" Lauren concluded.

"We'll that cooled me down, but I think it made Bo hotter." Kenzi laughed at her friend who was just staring at Lauren, wide eyed and goofy.

"Right Lauren, you promised to not make us inferior with your brainiac IQ. So can we just eat lunch without any of your facts and nutritional advice please babes." Tamsin joked.

The lunch was a success. Everyone laughed, shared stories and had a good time. Bo and Lauren had been unable to keep their eyes off each other. Lauren loved how Bo was so confident round people; she oozed sex appeal and knew enough about any conversation to be involved. Lauren loved how she smiled, she was sitting on her dimple side and it came out the more she smiled. Lauren had an urge to kiss it, but held back. It had not gone un-noticed to Bo that Lauren watched her. Half way through lunch Bo had taken Lauren's hand into her own and rested on her lap and it still remained there, stealing glances over to Lauren while she ate. Since her earlier conversation, Lauren had remained quiet, Lauren geeked out because she got nervous round people and it was Kenzi that still made her nervous, and so instead of her reverting back to 'Geek Speak' she stayed quiet.

"Lauren?"

The strange voice from behind them made them all jump and instinctively Lauren let go of Bo's hand as she turned round. Just standing behind her, and now moving down to kiss Lauren was the waitress Lauren had met on a few occasions. Before Lauren had time to fully react the waitress had kissed Lauren on the side of her mouth.

"Crystal, I didn't think you worked here anymore." Lauren stuttered, fully aware all the tables' eyes were on her and Bo especially was not amused. Last she had heard she had quit working at Onions and was looking for work as a hotel singer.

"I don't, just came to return the uniform. Not seen you in a while, I was going to call or text you later and see if you were busy. I've good news; I got the job as a singer, and guess what babes? It's in your hotel Diamond. Great hey?" Crystal moved to the Lauren's side and crouched down beside her.

"Erm, yeah, great, well done." was all that Lauren could master.

"So maybe we can have a celebration drink? Or you could come down to the bar and take me out afterwards?" Crystal lightly stroked Lauren's arm.

Noticing how uncomfortable her best friend was becoming and knowing that Lauren had no clue what to do or say Tamsin helped. "So Crystal, we were just having lunch, and it was kind of a four thing. So…If you are done?" Tamsin motioned with her head that it was time for Crystal to leave.

"I'm singing tonight at the hotel, so I'll catch up with you later then Lauren. I'll call you later babes." Crystal stood and started to walk away.

"Ok" again, that was all Lauren could say.

"Bo Bo Rule 8 remember?" Kenzi shook her head at Bo.

"So, who was that?" Bo asked Lauren. "Keeping your options open are you?"

"Bo, I met her three or four times at the most, I don't know where she thought she could kiss me." Lauren explained.

"Well I didn't see you push her back either." Bo now stood and took money from her wallet. "That should cover ours; we have to go to work, so best that we leave. Thank you for lunch, bye Tamsin." Without waiting for a reply, Bo turned and left with Kenzi walking beside her.

"That could have gone better Lauren." Tamsin turned to the waiter and asked for the bill. "But it also could have gone worse."

"How? It was great, and then I don't know what happened." Lauren rubbed her temples.

"Nothing happened and that's the point. You didn't acknowledge Bo as anything. You never acknowledged any of us, but I can put that down to you being awkward. Bo doesn't know that about you yet. She sees a girl that she's being exclusive with dating other girls."

"I'm not" Lauren interrupted. "I've never dated Crystal; we only spoke a couple of minutes a day. It was just conversations while she worked and I had lunch."

"I'm the wrong person to be telling this to Lauren. If we go now we can cut her off at the hotel. Bo left enough to cover all the lunch, and some, I'm gonna get shit-faced on her change, after a sizeable tip for that lovely laughing man in there. So that was nice of her and serves her right for being a fucking drama queen. Come on Lau, let's find the queen and you talk to her, re-assure her that Crystal is nothing, and then you talk to Crystal tonight and tell her the same. Seriously wonder what you would do without me, oh, actually I know you would crawl in a ball and avoid her until she lost interest in you, then blame her. I know you to well. Move it Lewis."

Lauren and Tamsin ran to her parked car. They were five minutes behind Bo and Kenzi but they had a car. They would park outside the hotel rear entrance and wait for them to walk across the dirt track. Tamsin was right, she needed to re-assure Bo and she should have done right away.
