Chapter 19

Bedouin Camp - 05.50am Sunday Morning

Bo woke up as the sun started to rise. They had only been asleep for a few hours yet Bo felt rested and happy. Bo listened for sounds from outside, but there was nothing, no cars, no music, no footsteps; just silence. There had never been a time in Bo's life where the world around her was silent. Bo had lived either on a farm or in bustling cities all her life and was constantly surrounded by noise. Today though nothing could be heard, it was dead silent. Bo looked down at Lauren and moved a piece of hair from her face, gently kissing the side of her cheek and whispering that she loved her into her ear. Lauren stirred but did not wake. Bo lay back down, holding her little spoon and waited for the six am alarm that Lauren had set to go off. Once Bo was lying back down Lauren opened her eyes and smiled staying perfectly still.

Bo and Lauren left the camp just after seven thirty, they had accepted the invitation of breakfast before the escort arrived back to take them to the border. Lauren seemed to be in a rush and Bo was unsure why? They had their Villa until four pm today.

"Hey Lo, is everything ok?" Bo asked as they drove through the desert.

"Can you believe they didn't have coffee?" Lauren replied.

"Yes, babe I can believe it. They just about have running water. Did you not see what we woke up in this morning? A tent. Is that what's wrong? You haven't had your coffee fix?" Bo smiled.

"I just like my coffee in the mornings. They didn't even have apples." Lauren trailed off, muttering under her breath.

"What has apples got to do with it?" Bo asked.

"Apples are a pomaceous fruit and have fructose which is a type of sugar that alerts you and the serotonin makes you happy. Nothing has been proven but scientists have said that apples are an alternative to coffee in the mornings as the sugar slowly releases energy and the crunch of an apple when you bite it wakes you up….."

Bo interrupted. "Turn left here, I know a shortcut to Starbucks and I'm treating you, please though shut up about the apples." Bo laughed and took Lauren's hand entwining their fingers. Lauren relaxed and rested her driving hand towards the bottom half of the steering wheel as she began to envision her favourite coffee stop.

Sentido Diamond Resort and Spa - 07.55am Sunday Morning

Evony was an early riser even though she had not got in until past three this morning. She walked through the hotel grounds finding it too early for breakfast but not wanting to stay alone in her room either. The hotel was so quiet, only a few of the garden workers were around checking the sprinklers. The pool boys were lining up the sun beds in identical rows and some early morning joggers passed her by. Evony looked at the normality of life and compared it to her own. Since she and Bo broke up she had reassessed her life a lot. Evony had always been content with what she had built up in terms of her business empire; she liked how she was feared in her social circles and loved working for the mob because it empowered her. Despite all her life accomplishments still held Bo as her greatest success. Bo had challenged her when no-one else would. Bo would stay with her for the simple things that Evony offered and not just the glitzy parties and wealth she had. Evony loved Bo, although she never admitted it. Those three words were never spoken instead they would say 'Mad for you'. Evony had taken Bo for granted, Bo had wanted to be exclusive but Evony had denied her that. She slept around but still called Bo her 'Favourite'. The last sin was when she arranged a sex party for her client and literally pimped Bo out. Bo obliged but left the next day and they had not spoken since. Evony knew she had crossed a line; knew she shouldn't have done it but she was scared of allowing herself to love Bo. Now she promised herself that she would do anything to get her back, and she meant anything. Spotting the hotel singer sitting alone by the beach Evony walked toward her.

"Hello, my name is Evony, and you are?" Evony asked the blonde singer who was sat at the beach bar eating a plate of fruit.

The blonde turned to the source of the well-spoken, soothing low tone of the woman behind her. She was a beautiful brunette in a low-cut, short white dress that hugged her slender curves. Her high cheek bones and full lips made her moisten her own. "Crystal. And how can I help you." the blonde replied.

"Well, I'm here actually to help you. Do you have a minute or two?" Evony said while taking the unoccupied seat next to her.

Crystal flashed a smile that lit every inch of her face. "And what exactly do I need help with?" She said raising an eyebrow.

"I'm interested in someone who is with someone that you are interested in. So we have a mutual goal. We need to break them up darling and you're going to help me do it." Evony said as she casually adjusted the hem of her dress.

"And who's this person I'm interested in and why should I help you?" Crystal said taking another mouthful of her fruit, trying hard to avert her eyes from the brunettes plummeting cleavage.

"The Doctor." Evony smiled when Crystal lowered her fork and nodded in agreement.

"I presume you have a plan, otherwise you wouldn't have interrupted my breakfast?" Crystal asked with now her full attention turned to Evony.

Starbucks - 08.00am

Lauren had been waiting in the car for fifteen minutes and Bo still hadn't returned, it surely cannot be that busy at this time?! she thought, fingers tapping on the steering wheel. Lauren felt aggravated and annoyed as well as a bit embarrassed that she felt this way over coffee. Without realising it she had become addicted to her morning cup, and her six or seven afternoon 'pick me ups'. Still, she needed it and Bo was taking too long, Lauren got out the car and walked to the entrance of Starbucks to find Bo inside talking to the barista.

"Hey babe, I was just getting it. It only opened a few minutes ago." Bo said to Lauren when she walked in.

"I was wondering where you were," Lauren replied.

"Hello Doc, I was just telling your friend here that I only knew one person who orders a hot, skimmed, venti, double shot, no cream caramel macchiato and in you walk." The barista laughed as he passed Lauren her drink.

"Thanks, Ali," Lauren replied taking it from him.

"Come on my coffee addict; let's get back to the villa. Are you feeling better?" Bo asked.

Lauren took a long sip from her cup allowing the warm liquid to fill her, instantly feeling more human, she loved coffee. It was her first love and never let her down, picked her up and saw her through each day. Her guilty pleasure was now known by Bo. "Yes baby, I'm back. I'm yours and ready for the last day at the villa."

Bo took the keys from Lauren saying that she would drive while Lauren drank her drink. Bo pulled Lauren closer and kissed her briefly on the main road before setting off. Bo smiled to herself she thought she knew Lauren, yet each day more was revealed making her more adorable than she possibly thought she could be. Bo bit down on her bottom lip suppressing the need to smile at how cute Lauren is in the morning without her fix, and at that moment made an inward promise that she would be Lauren's' personal barista from now on.

They arrived back at the villa just after eight thirty and after showering they changed into their bikinis and headed to the beach. Bo had made Lauren another cup of coffee later in the morning after their swim, joking that she was keeping the blabbering beast at bay. Lauren playfully hit her on the arm and Bo pretended to be hurt, stating that she needed to have a full medical check-up, changing her mind when Lauren pulled out the anal speculum from her medical kit.

"That's nasty babe, but not something I would say no to either if you were up for it." Bo tried to keep a straight face as Lauren's face was lost in confusion and panic. "I'm joking Lo," Bo said finally allowing Lauren out of her misery.

"Oh, good. As I don't know what I would do with that or anything like that Bo. I know you're more adventurous than me, and I'll try new things but that was testing me a bit." Lauren admitted.

"Erm, me too babes," Bo said.

Wanting to make the most of their time at the villa they cuddled together back inside the villa on the white leather sofa, relaxing in each other's company right up to the last minute. Lauren sat at the corner and Bo stretched out with her head in Lauren's' lap. Bo watched a movie on MBC Action while Lauren sat and read her Kindle. Lauren had got up only once during the movie to make sandwiches and herself another coffee, Bo opting for a beer. They held hands as they settled into this domestic life. Everything felt so natural to them. Lauren looked down to Bo and stroked her hair off her face, behind her ear.

"Don't you think ballroom dancing is just so sexy?" Bo said while rubbing her eyes and sitting up. The movie had just ended.

"Not when your parents make you take lessons when your nine years old and your partner is smelly Shaun Sheed it's not." Lauren giggled at the memory.

"Is there anything you can't do Lauren?" Bo asked, taking her hand and kissing the palm.

Lauren suddenly had an idea and stood up taking Bo's hand leading her to the open space behind the sofa. She picked up the remote on her iPod she pressed a few buttons until the sound of jazz played through the built in villa speakers.

"I don't think I can teach you with your clumsy two left feet, but I'll give it a try." Lauren joked as she stood in front of Bo.

Lauren reached behind Bo and pulled her in close with the feel of her bare back on her fingers. Lauren took one hand in hers and posed them into position. The touch was thrilling, little pins and needles travelled through them as Lauren held her close and started to sway to the music. Their hips touching delicately, breast against breast, nipple against nipple, legs against legs as Lauren gave Bo her first dance lesson. Bo was lost in the moment following Lauren's expert lead. Her body started to shiver with bolts of excitement as Lauren closed the gap more. Lauren used her body to draw Bo in more. They danced together in perfect time with the beat, bodies so close they appeared to be just one. They made smooth, hypnotic movements to the sound of the soft jazz filling the villa.

Bo wrapped her arms around Lauren's' neck and as if on cue the music slows. Bo starts to lead this time and turns their tango into a more sensual slow dance.

"You're really good at this Bo," Lauren whispered into Bo's ear.

"I haven't slow danced with anyone since my prom. I'm not sure I'm the right person to lead." Bo admitted.

"Sure you are Bo, you're fine. Follow the music." Lauren replied.

Bo closed her eyes and hugged Lauren close. It suddenly felt very warm in the room. Lauren was enjoying her dance lesson but not wanting to be outdone, spun around and pressed her backside into Bo's front. Bo placed her hands over Lauren's hip bones. Lauren leant back into Bo and felt the sensation of her warm breath against her neck.

"Baby this is getting me so hot." Bo leant to whisper into Lauren's' ear.

Lauren needed no further encouragement as she turned back to Bo and moved her against the kitchen counter. Soft kisses met in an exquisite touch. Bo closed her eyes and was aware of only where their two bodies met. Bo opened her mouth in expectation, all she could think was kiss me, open those lips and kiss me, run your tongue inside my mouth and slide your lips over mine. Rip off my clothes, tease my nipples and spread me over this kitchen counter.

As if Lauren could read her mind she kissed down her neck while untying Bo's bikini top and let it fall to the floor. Lauren reached around Bo's buttocks and lifted her onto the counter. Looking down at again how beautiful she was especially now that her beautiful breasts were exposed and begging to be touched. It was clear from Bo's closed eyes and parted lips that she was already turned on.

Lauren stood in between Bo's parted legs and moved her mouth to Bo's. Lauren began to kiss her deeply, touching and caressing her breasts until her nipples hardened. Tugging, pinching and rolling them between her fingers, which sent flashes of fire between her own legs. Lauren returned to Bo's neck and kissed the unbelievably soft skin. She pressed her torso against Bo's now wet sex and took the bikini bottoms in her hands pulling them down her toned legs. Bo raised her bum to help before wrapping her legs around Lauren's body and feeling the contact of her hot sex against her lover.

"Oh baby yes, yes, yes. I want you so badly." Bo's voice was husky and full of want.

Lauren moved to Bo's ear, biting gently on her lobe and whispering "I want you to baby."

Bo's body shuddered. Lauren kissed down her neck to her chest and took one of her breasts into her mouth and sucked on the hard nipple. Bo stretched back down on the counter, her moans begging Lauren on. Lauren moved lower down her body leaving a trail of kisses down her tight stomach and inner thigh. She was gentle at first kissing her inner thigh and running the tip of her tongue to her outer lips before moving inward to Bo's throbbing clit. Her fingernails following the path her mouth made, gripping Bo's legs and spreading them further apart. Instead of using fingers, however, Lauren used her tongue to part her folds and found her clit with ease wrapping her mouth around it.

Bo gasped at the contact and with one hand grabbed hold of Lauren's head pulling her closer and adding pressure. She caressed Lauren's soft blonde hair, feeling the sensation of her skilled tongue as it flicked over her and sucked on her clit. Lauren held onto Bo's bum and pulled her closer as she felt Bo's body begin to shake. She dipped inside Bo with her tongue and increased the pressure on her clit, sucking harder and faster as Bo rocked on her.

"Oh fuck." Bo cried and she thrust herself into Lauren's' mouth. "Fuuuuuccccckkkkk"

Lauren continued to lick, suck and kiss that very intimate part of Bo and buried her face into her. Bo pulled Lauren in even closer between her legs as she rode out her intense orgasm. As her body shook all conscious thoughts left her and her world was centred only between her legs. Bo held Lauren tight throwing back her head against the counter, arching her body and screaming Lauren's name over and over again as her orgasm radiated her body.

Lauren pulled Bo's sweaty body up from the kitchen counter and kissed her on the lips before Bo rested her head against Lauren's' shoulder. She held onto Bo as her as the last of the seismic movement's past through her.

Bo was quiet for a minute and Lauren listened to her breathing settle down. Suddenly Bo jumped off the counter and carried Lauren to the sofa and lay her down. "You're going to pay for that, you naughty little devil. We're far from done."

"Mmmmm. I need to be naughty more often." Lauren replied biting down on her lower lip with innocence.

Bo took her time with Lauren, and soon they fell into a deep slumber. The sound of the phone ringing woke them. Lauren answered; the call was from the reception manager asking that they check out as soon as possible as it was nearing 5 pm. They quickly threw their bags together and packed the car. Back at the hotel, Lauren stopped by the staff entrance so that Bo could walk to her room. This was an area of hotel grounds Lauren was no longer privileged to visit. Despite Lauren having never actually been to the crack house before she knew what number room was Bo's.

"So I guess this is goodbye and goodnight for the day then." Lauren finally spoke as she turned off the engine.

"This is shit," Bo replied.

"Shit happens Bo," Lauren said looking to the foot well in the car.

"Come in, there are no cameras this end and Kenzi won't say anything babes. I'm not ready to leave you just yet." Bo admitted, taking Lauren's head, forcing her to look at her.

"I can't Bo. I do want to, but I can't. I'll call you later, though if that's ok?" Lauren asked.

"Well if don't I then you can bet your ass I will be calling you." Bo smiled, kissed Lauren and got out the car. She had walked only a few steps when she heard the engine turn back on and Lauren drive off. Immediately she missed her and reached for her phone. While walking slowing towards her building she started to write a text to Lauren.

BO - "Lo, I miss you already.I'll call you in an hour. Xxx"

Bo was about to press send when she felt Lauren behind her, looking over her shoulder. "I miss you too Bo," Lauren said kissing her neck and holding her from behind.

"This is silly." Bo laughed and leant back into Lauren.

"I know. I'm going to go now. But I was watching you walk away and saw you reach for your phone, so just wanted to surprise you." Lauren said while squeezing Bo tighter.

"Ah ha, well what if I was not writing to you?" Bo turned in Lauren's' arms.

Lauren looked at Bo and smiled. "I guess I would not have been doing this." Lauren took Bo's face in her hands and pulled her gently towards her and kissed her lightly, leaving Bo wanting more. "Now you can think about that when you next pull your phone out." Lauren winked and walked back to her car. Bo watched as she got in and drove off, this time waiting until she was out of sight.

Crackhouse - Sunday afternoon

Tamsin woke in the crackhouse after Kenzi decided to bring the tequila and the party back last night. She stirred and reached over to the bedside table, upset to realise that no water was left there, also noticing that this was not her room. This must be Bo's room she thought as she looked around at the décor. The room was simple but definitely to Bo's taste. The bed was positioned in the centre of the room and had dark red satin sheets. The floor was bare, wooden floor boards with a black rug in the middle. In the corner there was a black wardrobe, dressing table and a full-length stand-up mirror. There was a door that led onto a small bathroom; it was just about big enough for a toilet and a walk in shower. Tamsin got up and walked towards it but as she reached the door a voice startled her.

"Hold on a sec."

Tamsin stopped as Dyson walked out stepping past her he sat on the bed. Tamsin looked down at her semi-naked self and grabbed the towel off the door hook and wrapped it around her.

"What the fuck? What are you doing here? What happened?" Tamsin gasped. The last thing she remembered was talking to Dyson outside and then walking back in and drinking more tequila. Her gaze darted down her towel clad body, air left her lungs as she saw that she was still wearing her underwear, well at least her panties. She massaged her temples as she tried to remember what happened last night.

Dyson watched Tamsin with mixed emotions, part of him enjoying her suffer and the other half not. He cracked his neck before answering her. "I stayed over Tam. Don't you remember?"

"No I don't and I need to leave." Tamsin walked forward picking up her clothes along the way.

"You don't remember our hot action," Dyson said getting up from the bed, showing off his extremely toned mid-drift and swimmers V sticking out his black boxer shorts. Dyson pulled on his black jeans with Tamsin still watching.

What now, Tamsin thought. Lie through her teeth and act like it was nothing or come clean and tell him she doesn't remember. She decided to go with the truth. "I can't remember much, to be honest; it's all a bit hazy."

"Define hazy Tam," Dyson asked.

"Well I mean I remember ordering the tequila, and coming back here with you, Vex and Kenzi but don't remember much after that," Tamsin replied.

"Nothing, not even…." Dyson teased.

"What," Tamsin asked. "What happened?"

Dyson smiled and shook his head. "Nothing ' Tam, relax. I'm just fucking with you."

Tamsin wanted to believe him but either a memory or maybe a fantasy was replaying in the back of her mind of a hot kiss. Maybe Dyson didn't remember or think it was a hot kiss if it did happen. Maybe Dyson just thinks a kiss is nothing; Tamsin on the other hand did not.

"Did you kiss me?" Tamsin asked.

"No," Dyson replied.

"I kind of remember a kiss." Tamsin continued.

"No, I didn't kiss you Tamsin. You kissed me." Dyson lightly smacked Tamsin on her behind and walked from the room leaving her mouth ajar and angry.

Tamsin followed him into the living area where Vex was still asleep on the sofa and Kenzi was presumably in her room. "You're a liar. I remember you kissed me." Tamsin pointed a finger at his chest.

"I thought you didn't remember Tam." Dyson pushed away her finger and stood arms crossed in the middle of the room.

"I do. You kissed me. We were outside here and the sun was rising and Kenzi was trying to get us to come in and you kissed me." the events of the night slowly coming back to her.

"No, you pulled me around at the front door and you kissed me," Dyson repeated again.

"Why would I do that?" as soon as the words left her mouth she regretted it. "Sorry Dy, I didn't mean that how it sounded."

"Oh really? Cos that sounded like I'm second best again. Don't tell me, are you also hung up on Lauren?" Dyson remarked to Tamsin.

"No, Lauren and I are just friends. Yes, we did once, and I used to think we were more, but that ship has passed. I don't know why you would think that?" Tamsin asked. Dyson did not get a chance to reply when Vex spoke.

"What has the doctor got some kind of super snatch?" Vex said popping his head up over the sofa. "Should we tell Ben and Jerry that there's a new delectable flavour out there that has everyone going nuts over?"

"What are you still doing here Vex? Don't you have a holiday to be on or people to annoy besides us?" Tamsin asked, turning to face him.

"Yeah Vex, what are you doing here?" Bo asked, walking into her room and noticing the full house.

"Bo." Vex crooked his neck to look around to the front door. "I'm glad you're back I've some news for you."

"Bo." Tamsin looked over to her, the realisation that she was in nothing but underwear and Bo's towel and standing in front of her bedroom. "I hope you don't mind, I stayed here last night in your room."

"Bo." Dyson turned around to face her. "We need to talk."

"Bo-Bo." Kenzi heard Bo's voice and stepped out her room. "Have I got some news for you."

"Bo."

Bo turned around to where the voice was coming from. Dropping her bag and bringing her hand to her mouth at the same time. "What are you doing here?"
