The Dal
Aife had Mason drive her to her bar. She was happy to be home and away from those frauds in Grimley. Even if she never understood Bo's fascination with humans, they were an interesting species. About as hypocritical as the Fae could be. Bo was better off away from them too.
As far as Sam Dennis, she didn't sense any wrong in him. The way Bo looked at him spoke volumes to the Succubus too. She wouldn't likely kill him but if he ever crossed Bo, she would make it her life's work to make the remainder of his life miserable. Which wouldn't be much longer considering how old he looks. But then again, that bitch ass Mary Dennis could drive anyone to gray early. The Succubus laughed wondering if she found a new home yet. She hired a few people in Grimley to make sure that woman never gets back on her feet. She often hoped the woman wouldn't have anything to eat but rat shit.
"Aife we're here". Mason laughed from outside of his car. He had watched Aife stare into nothing for the longest time.
"So we are my boy. So we are". Aife laughed as she took his hand to climb out of the car.
The shifter held the entrance door for her as well, as they made their way inside. The music was loud, and the liquor was pouring. People were dancing all over the bar. But not on any of the tables, this would not be that kind of bar. Not unless Aife joined in.
"At least she didn't burn the place down! Mason screamed over the music.
"What? Aife laughed and stopped when the music was suddenly turned down
"Sorry". Lou Ann said from the other end of the bar. The crowd stared at the Succubus who nodded for them to continue with whatever they were doing.
Aife walked around taking in the sights. Everyone was laughing, smiling or dancing. She liked it. Money was coming in. She loved money. She just never wanted to actually work for it. Trick tried to get her to bartend. She drank up all of his liquor on the first day, and he fired her, as she had hoped he would.
Mason walked behind the bar and took a quick inventory. Immediately he knew, a truck had come in. She had cleaned the place out. He just hoped she didn't give out free liquor. Aife would be highly pissed off about it, and take it out on whomever was in sight.
Aife took a seat behind the bar and took in the scene for the rest of the afternoon. Once a lot of people had left, she ordered Mason to count the money and to go over the books, and inventory, dating back to when they left town. Lou Ann and a barmaid were nervously cleaning the bar from top to bottom as the Succubus watched their every step.
Mason emerged from the lair and nodded at Aife. "She did very well. Every dollar and ounce of liquor has been accounted for. More than accounted for".
"Very good. Then my work here is done". Aife smiled getting up.
"Thanks Aife. Really. Thanks". Lou Ann said from across the room. She froze when the Succubus immediately turned, and walked over to her.
"Mason might not be here at all times. I need someone to cover his shifts, when the need arises. If you need somewhere close to live, I can arrange that for you". Aife said.
"Are you asking me to work here? For you? Lou Ann asked.
"I can always hire someone else, and pay you for telling Lauren the truth about Isabeau. Either way, you will be compensated for your time here". Aife said.
"Before I consider it, what about this house you offered? Lou Ann asked.
"Go out, and pick an empty one that you like, once you found one, come back to me or Mason". Aife said.
Lou Ann paced back and forth for a few minutes. She knew Aife never liked when anyone stalled on an offer or hers. So she had to be quick in her thought process. "Ok. I'll go look".
"Very good. Now I am off for the rest of the night. Once you are done cleaning, Mason will lock up and you are welcome to spend the night, until you make a decision. There are a lot of empty rooms with beds in the back. The place has been scrubbed clean of anything and anyone Trick had locked up here". Aife explained.
Lou Ann nodded and returned to her cleaning. Aife walked back over to Mason. "She will only be here when you aren't. I will still pay her of course, whether she works or not, since neither of you can help when you're here and when you will be gone. If you have a problem with this, speak now". She said.
"Oh no. I understand. It's the life of the Fae and working for you. We have to be ready for any and everything". Mason laughed. He really did enjoy working for Aife. It paid better and was far more interesting than his mechanic job. He was thinking of asking Bo to sell him her Camaro so he can restore it, but now that he thought about it, he might just do it for free. It would give him something to do, that he loved as much as working for Aife.
"Once she finds a house, I want it to be hers immediately. There is no reason for her to live in that rat house when she could be living better than that. I owe her a lot. More importantly I owe her for saving Isabeau's life. Even if she misjudged the Dennis family, she still saved her". Aife replied seriously.
"Of course". Mason said softly.
"Good night". Aife nodded announcing her leave to him, Lou Ann and the apparent new barmaid, she had hired in the Succubus absence.
"Hey don't worry about it. Aife treats us very well. Just don't piss her off". Mason said after walking over to Lou Ann.
"I have known Aife a long time. I'm just happy I wasn't killed years ago. I knew Aife was always the wrong McCorrigan to cross. She cared about Bo. More than Trick ever cared about her. So I will be loyal and help out as much as I can, when I can". Lou Ann explained softly.
"I will help you ladies finish cleaning and then we can all take the rest of the day off. I'm sure Aife wants us to close down early too". Mason said grabbing a fresh towel, and dipped it into the nearest bucket of hot, soapy water.
Lou Ann nodded as she moved to the next table. She was happy Mason was going to help finish cleaning. Then she could go house shopping.
Bo, Lauren and Sam
Lauren waited outside of her house for Bo to pick her up. She was happy to get out and shop. Get some fresh air. It was a nice breezy day. But not windy enough not to go riding. She moaned at the thought. She used to ride a lot while she was attending Yale, but once she graduated, she stopped.
"Ready? Bo grinned wide pulling up in front of the Doctor. Lauren nodded and made her way to the passenger side.
"Hello Sam". Lauren smiled softly.
"Hi Bo". Lauren smiled.
"Hi Lauren". Bo winked.
"Dr. Lewis". Sam nodded and turned his attention back to the bike magazine he was reading.
Lauren smiled and raised at eyebrow at why Sam was sitting in the back seat.
"I asked him to sit back there, so that you could sit next to me". Bo smiled gently pulling out of Lauren's driveway.
"Bo you didn't have to...
"Yes I did. You are exactly where you should be". Bo said momentarily shaking Lauren's hand.
"I completely understand". Sam said making eye contact with Lauren and turning back to his magazine.
"So we are looking to buy a few bikes and go riding this afternoon". Bo said looking at the time.
"Ok". Lauren said pulling her sunglasses on the top of her head.
The women held hands as they looked around while Bo drove. They weren't sure where they were going yet. But wanted to find somewhere that had a lot of variety.
"So Sam were you thinking of a Harley or what kind of bike? Lauren asked looking back at him.
"No. Nothing like that. Something fast and simple". Sam smiled looking towards the front.
"Ahhh ok". Lauren smiled and nodded.
"It will be ok. We'll find something for everyone". Bo smiled finally pulling into a motorcycle shop. She walked over to Lauren's side and opened the door for her.
The trio walked around the shop asking questions when they had them. Bo held Lauren's hand as the Doctor was spilling everything she knew about riding and motorcycles. Bo's eyes flashed blue when Lauren said she's a good rider.
The saleswoman was nice and all, but compared to Lauren, she was boring. So Bo kindly told her they would come to her when they had any further questions.
"I don't know ladies. I don't know what I want". Sam sighed into his hands after they had been walking almost an hour.
"Well since you don't know. I have a suggestion". Bo said.
Lauren stopped walking and turned around, standing directly in front of Bo.
"Do tell". The Doctor smiled.
"Two Ducati Multistrada 950s". Bo smiled.
"Wow! Good choice". Lauren smiled and turned back around.
"Can I help you now? The saleswoman asked after hearing their enthusiasm.
"I want two 2019 Multistrada 950s". Bo smiled softly.
The woman's eyes lit up. "You came at the right time. We just got a few in stock".
"I will take a blue one". Sam smiled.
"I will take a red one". Bo smiled nodding at the woman.
"Very well. If you will make your way out front, I will have them brought out to you". The saleswoman said.
Bo and Lauren nodded and followed Sam to the front. They all stopped and grabbed some helmets and gear as they walked.
Bo paid for them as Lauren held their helmets and jackets. Sam waited for them at the exit and they all walked out and waited.
Sam smiled when he heard two distinct sounds. Two men small in stature were riding them and pulled up in front of them.
"Ladies. Sir". The men bowed as they climbed off and gestured to them before turning to walk into the store.
"Well I haven't done this in awhile, but it is literally as easy as riding a bike". Sam laughed.
"You two go ahead. I can wait until you get back". Lauren smiled walking towards Bo's car.
"No". Bo said grabbing Lauren's arm.
"No? Lauren asked. She watched Bo put her helmet on and climbed on to the red one.
The Succubus put her gloves on and adjusted herself on the seat. "Whenever you're ready". She said before pulling her visor down.
Lauren smiled and climbed on. Bo wanted two bikes so that she could ride behind Lauren. The Doctor climbed on in front of Bo and adjusted herself. Bo leaned forward wrapping her arms around the Doctor, after Lauren had started it up.
"How far do you want to go?! Sam screamed.
"When you get tired, just stop and tell us! Bo screamed back.
Sam nodded and waited for them to pull off. He laughed when Lauren sped off and had already turned on to the street. Seemed he wasn't the only skilled rider in the group.
Bo bit her lip. Lauren had already done some tricks, and hadn't missed a beat yet. She was content. The woman she loves is in her arms and she is spending time doing something Sam wanted to do. If she was honest with herself, she longed to do this with Lauren too. They had always talked about coupley stuff but never got around to do them. Sure they had a few dinners here and there, but nothing like this had happened before. Racing to Lauren's house didn't count like the warm and exciting moment this turned out to be. They were on the highway now, zigzagging in and out of traffic.
Bo had never gotten tired of holding on to Lauren. Not even when she popped the front wheel. That kind of turned her on as Lauren was leaning back against her. Her scent and warm body was spiking Bo's arousal. But she wouldn't dare do anything with Sam behind them.
Lauren slowed and let the man take the lead for awhile. Bo said when he got tired, they would head back. Knowing they likely wouldn't tire out before him, she let him pass them.
After three more hours of hopping on and off the highway and taking a few detours, Sam Dennis was tiring out. They stopped at a local diner for dinner. Once the food had been ordered, and served, Sam laughed at how much Bo still ate. But he knew it must have something to do with her eyes turning blue.
"I have to eat a lot". Bo smiled gently.
"As her Doctor, I can attest to that". Lauren smiled sipping on a cup of coffee.
Sam stared at the ladies and was touched at how close they were. How they knew what each other liked to eat, how they liked their coffee. How they liked their dinner napkins placed on their laps. He was grateful for this time he got to spend with Bo. Even though they all knew it wouldn't and couldn't be long term for his safety. He was fine with that. He'd hoped Bo found a happy life, and by the way she looked at Lauren, he knew she had and was.
"So Sam. How much longer do you plan on staying? Lauren asked genuinely.
"Not too much longer. I just wanted to spend some time with Beth. I mean Bo. But I don't want to take too much time from the two of you". Sam answered.
"Sam really. You're not in the way". Lauren smiled taking another bite of her food.
"Yeah. We have plenty of time to spend together. Lauren knows she's my priority. Or I hope she knows". Bo blushed at her brutal honesty. She smiled when the Doctor blushed too.
"I was only asking in case you wanted to take in some of the sights". Lauren smiled.
"I have seen a lot of things in Toronto over the years. Some I never wish to see again". Sam said cutting into his steak again.
"Like what? Lauren asked curiously.
"A lot of strange people and murders". Sam answered.
"Like what!? Bo and Lauren asked in unison.
"I don't really want to go into it. I am sure that's why you're living here Bo? Sam asked.
"Yes. Yes you could say that, but mainly for Lauren. I could have left years ago, and I glad that I didn't". Bo said looking at Lauren, when Sam wasn't looking at them.
"I know what I've seen, and you're right to tell me to scram". Sam said.
"Dad my life is...well It's my life. I am sure that is some of what you saw. I can't help that I was born this way, but yeah, it could be dangerous here for you". Bo said.
Sam nodded and the table went quiet for a few minutes.
"Look Dad. If people find out who you are, they could and would use it to hurt you and me. I am not so much as worried about myself, as I am for you. Some of them don't have a conscious and could hurt you. I could claim you for protection, but I don't want to force that on you or force you to live here. I know Grimley is not the best place to live, but you just say the word and we will set you up somewhere else. Even the States if you want to live there". Bo explained.
"I get it baby. Like I said, I knew you were different when I first saw your blue eyes. I accepted that a long time ago. I am so grateful for the time we got to spend together last night and today. All I have ever wanted was the best for you, I can see you have that". Sam said nodding at Lauren.
"You don't have to go yet Dad. Stay another night. Maybe we could take in those sights like Lauren suggested". Bo said gently tapping Sam's hand.
"Ok. I will stay another day. But that's it. When I go to bed or when you want time alone with Lauren, just tell me. I don't want you losing the love of your life, like I did with your mother. Perhaps if I paid her more attention back then, she never would have kicked either of us out". Sam said cutting into his steak again.
"Nobody will ever blame you for her Dad. But I do love you and appreciate everything that you did for me. For my school stuff and for everything else". Bo said almost tearfully. She could feel a disconnect forming and she didn't like that. Sam had been the only parent she really knew of. Even after Mary threw them out, Bo always wondered what happened to him. She was relieved to find out that he was still alive.
"Lets finish eating. We can go and get Bo's car and then we can take him back to your place to watch a movie, sports, or whatever he wants to do". Lauren suggested.
"Good idea babe. It's been a long day and this place looks like they are ready to close up". Bo said noticing some chairs had been turned upside down on a few tables.
Sam nodded as he finished off his plate. Bo finished hers quickly as Lauren had gone to pay the tab.
"She loves you Bo. Take care of her, and don't blow it". Sam smiled gently.
"I never plan to lose her". Bo smiled back.
"Good girl". Sam smiled.
"But you will attend my graduation ceremony right? Bo asked.
"Of course. I just don't think it should be in Grimley". Sam said.
"Oh no. We can hold it at the Dal or wherever Lauren and I decide on". Bo said walking towards the Doctor.
"Are we ready? Lauren smiled.
"Yep. The waitress has been tipped and I have our jackets". Bo said handing Lauren hers.
Sam held the door for the women and they mounted the motorcycles again. Bo sat in front this time and Lauren smiled at the sight.
"Sorry but I want my turn". Bo smiled as Lauren wrapped her arms around her.
"That's fine". Lauren cooed lightly licking Bo's neck and jumped when she started the motorcycle. She smiled when the Succubus jumped.
"It's dark, follow me Dad. I know the way to the shop! Bo screamed over. Sam nodded and they were on their way.
Kenzi
Kenzi had been sleep for hours. She couldn't remember the last time slept that good. She rolled over under her warm blanket and opened her eyes when she heard whispers.
"What the hell?! Kenzi screamed as sat up in the bed.
"We don't use that word here". A woman laughed.
"Who are you? How the hell did I get here?! Kenzi screamed. Out of all the strange places, she woke up in, this was now number one on her list.
"I said we don't use that word here. I am Sister Mary Ella. You were brought here last night". The eldest Nun explained.
"Who the hell dressed me like this? I like sex, this would never work! Kenzi screamed as she started pulling her clothes off.
"Unless you wish to be seen in the nude, you will keep your clothes on. You don't have any other clothes here". Sister Mary Ella replied.
"Dude where are my clothes? That was my favorite outfit!? Kenzi screamed.
"Lower your voice, or you may leave". Sister Mary Ella said.
"Where are my clothes? Kenzi whispered.
"We threw them out. They were ragged and reeked of piss". Sister Mary Ella said.
"Look lady you would too, if you were locked up in a room who's walls were filled with mice". Kenzi snapped. She was afraid to move. She never liked Nuns. They looked like penguins and she hated those too.
"Leave her here, she's not going anywhere like that". Sister Mary Ella nodded to the others, and they followed her out.
"Hey! Hey! You never told me where my clothes are! Kenzi screamed.
"We put them in the incinerator". One Nun said as she passed Kenzi.
"Son of a...
"Finish that sentence, and you will be tossed out of here right now! Sister Mary Ella screamed over her shoulder.
Kenzi lifted her head. She smelled something nice. Food. She jumped up and ran after the women. She didn't see Sister Mary Ella anymore, but still followed the others.
Kenzi walked in and jumped in the last seat she saw. The women had already started eating.
"Oh balls". Kenzi said noticing they were eating rice, bread and beans. She couldn't complain. At least it was food. She dug into the food in front of her before they could snatch it away.
"Aife really. How long will this child be staying here? Sister Mary Ella asked into her phone.
"As long as you allow her to. It's no skin off my right tit". Aife laughed.
"Uh. You know I don't like that kind of language". Sister Mary Ella groaned.
"You're a Fae and a Nun. One of them you could get out of". Aife laughed.
"I take my decision very seriously. You and I have been friends a long time. Just tell me how long I have to put up with that insulting girl? Sister Mary Ella asked.
"If you're tired of her, put her back on the streets. You should know that was my daughter's claimed human. She will throw that in your face. That I am sure of". Aife said seriously.
"Ahhhh the unaligned Succubus. I thought she looked familiar". Sister Mary Ella sighed.
"Seriously kick her out. Your favor has been paid just by allowing me to dump her there". Aife said.
"This won't come back to bite me will it? I know she's your daughter, but I have heard of Bo's attitude when it comes to humans". Sister Mary Ella said.
"She has pissed Isabeau off to the point, that she barely thinks of her. Let her go at your earliest convenience. She will never be allowed to infiltrate the Fae again without people knowing who she was". Aife laughed. Kenzi was screwed in the Fae world. She shouldn't have pissed Bo off, and maybe she would still be on good standing with them.
"Fine. After dinner, I will turn her out into the streets. Besides she doesn't look the part of a Nun". Sister Mary Ella said.
"Exactly why I burned her clothes. Once she steps out on the streets like that, she will be humiliated". Aife laughed.
"I must go. I haven't had dinner yet. Always a pleasure talking with you Aife. I would tell you to behave yourself, but I know that will never happen". Sister Mary Ella laughed.
"Of course not. Take care my friend". Aife laughed affectionately. Aife had known Mary Ella forever. She was really an ally, once Aife started killing off people she found having some involvement in Isabeau's death. Mary Ella hadn't been in the Monastery long before she allowed Aife to take refuge, since nobody would ever to think of looking for the Succubus there.
Bo and Lauren
Bo, Lauren and Sam had watched about two movies before he started to fall asleep. Bo helped him to the guest room door and watched as he closed and locked the door. He had always been like that. Locking the master bedroom door when he knew he was going to sleep with his wife.
Bo kind of frowned at him being alone now. But she knew he would be ok. He was a lot stronger than most ever gave him credit for. Getting her school records could not have been easy. They probably thumbed their noses at him, and that pissed Bo off too.
Tomorrow she would make sure he had an even better day than today. But right now her attention was on Lauren.
"You know I have a dishwasher for that". Bo said softly from the doorway.
"It's just a few dishes. I won't be long". Lauren smiled.
"But still. I have a dishwasher for that". Bo smiled.
"Well if you want to help...". Lauren started and laughed when Bo was over in a matter of seconds, and had her hands in the sink to help.
"There. Now they are done". Bo said after wiping the last dish dry.
"I should get going. It is getting late". Lauren said pulling her jacket on.
Bo frowned. "You can take the motorcycle if you'd like". She offered softly.
Lauren bit her lip and looked at Bo. For a few seconds she was thinking about it. "Ok".
Bo nodded and pulled on her own jacket to walk Lauren out. She understood why Lauren didn't want to stay over. With Sam there, she didn't want to keep him awake if they made love. And the next time they did, Bo was sure she would be loud enough to wake an entire city.
Bo held the door for Lauren and walked out behind her. She heard the door lock but knew her keys were in her jacket so it was ok.
"How are you going to get it back? Lauren asked.
"Just keep it at your house and we will think of something". Bo said handing Lauren a helmet.
Lauren nodded and the women just stared at each other for the longest time. Bo grabbed the helmet back and set both helmets on the hood of her car.
"Bo...what are you...? Lauren started.
"Shhhh". Bo said sitting behind Lauren.
"Bo...
"Turn around". Bo cooed.
Lauren smiled and turned her body around.
"Hold on". Bo said starting the motorcycle.
Lauren wrapped her arms around Bo's waist and closed her eyes as the Succubus peeled off.
The women rode until Bo found a deserted road.
"Bo...this is not..
"Kiss me". Bo said softly.
Lauren pulled back and stared at Bo for a moment. Here they were speeding down the street and Bo wanted Lauren to kiss her. The Doctor knew it wasn't the safest thing, but knew Bo would never physically harm her. Finally she leaned in.
Bo moaned the minute Lauren's tongue touched hers. She kept her eyes open during their kiss, so she could see the road. Hearing her Succubus growl, she turned down a dirt road. Once she found a clearing, she turned the motor off.
Bo gently pulled back to catch her breath. Lauren looked so angelic under the stars. She leaned in and kissed the Doctor. She soon found Lauren's hands in her hair.
The women sat there kissing for hours, as Bo finally relented noticing the time.
"Bo..". Lauren said softly after they both pulled back.
"Shhh let me talk ok? Bo said softly.
"Ok". Lauren said.
"Lauren I love you and I'm sorry about being such an ass lately. But I meant what I told Sam. You are my priority. So much so, that I was thinking of letting my diploma slide, so we could work on our relatonship. I don't want to do that now. I still want to work on us. But I know so many people worked to help me get my records back. I can still graduate here in Toronto. I want the ceremony to be planned by the both of us. This is our life and you are my world. I just wanted to spend this time with you while nothing else is going on and while we have nowhere to be. I know you might go into work tomorrow, so I won't keep you much longer. So Dr. Lewis. Take me home". Bo cooed letting go of the blonde.
"Not yet". Lauren said lunging for Bo's lips and both women moaned again at the taste.
Lauren kissed Bo with everything she had. This was not the Bo she was expecting to see so late that night, but she was happy to see her nonetheless. Bo was growing and it made her proud. There was no way she was going to allow Bo to back down from getting her High School Diploma. It would be one thing if she just dropped out to drop out. But she wasn't, she was forced to run. Forced to run and believe them telling her she was no good, and a monster. But the Doctor saw so much more in the Succubus. She saw her life. The one she had lived all of these years for and she was ready to get on with that life.
TBC
Bo and Sam have a heartfelt goodbye.
Lauren plans Bo's graduation ceremony.
Kenzi is found sleeping on Lou Ann's porch.
