Kenzi
"On your feet Malikov! The Officer screamed.
"What? Kenzi groaned from the bench she was sleeping on.
"I said on your feet! Now! The Officer screamed again.
Kenzi squinted her eyes to read his name. "Nedley".
"Where am I going? I haven't been arraigned or have been told what I am being charged with! Kenzi screamed.
"You won't be arraigned for days. I just wanted to see you stand. See how you like being bossed around and told when to get up". Officer Nedley asked.
"And the rest of us? A woman called from behind Kenzi.
"Silence! Besides Malikov, you will all be arraigned soon". Officer Nedley said.
"I was told last night that you found my charges in the States. Will I be transferred there? Kenzi asked hopefully.
"Ms. McCorrigan persuaded them to allow us to deal with. Now sit your ass down and I will bring you bread and water shortly". Officer Nedley laughed.
Kenzi swallowed hard. She wished he was talking about Bo, but knew he was talking about Aife.
"Rookie mistake, trying to pick a Police Captain's pockets". A lady snickered.
"Sit down honey, we can have a lot fun while he's gone". A woman laughed behind Kenzi, as she patted the empty spot next to her.
"Oh hell no. I'd rather stand". Kenzi said as she walked over to the cage bars and leaned against them.
"She'll weaken", The woman laughed.
Kenzi closed her eyes and wished the floor would open up and swallow her. How the hell did she slip up and try to rob a cop? Bo. Bo was to blame. She was out here on her own. She would kick her boots off, but they would probably steal them, and she was sure she was going to sleep standing up for a bit.
Aife's Castle
"Get those bitches up. Lauren will be here soon and I am so looking to see what she recommends. If it isn't death, I will personally drain all of you, slowly and one by one". Aife laughed.
"Yes My Queen". Alfred bowed.
"You still trust her? Them? Stephen asked.
"Aife has been a friend of mine for a long, long time. She's always this nutty. But the one thing that has never failed is her love for Bo. So there has to be some good in her, that we are missing out on". Albert sighed as they watched the Queen Succubus wave Alfred off.
"We were Lauren's family first. We need to be first to protect her". Stephen said.
"Bo is her family too son. You need to start learning to accept that, until Lauren says otherwise". Albert said.
"Lauren will never say that". Aife laughed walking up to them.
"Aife". Albert bowed.
"Stop it. You know you never have to bow to me". Aife laughed again.
"Hello Aife". Stephen said.
"Sweetie never try and fake an emotion with a Succubus, we see all of that shit". Aife laughed.
"I'm sorry. Your daughter is getting on my last nerve". Stephen said.
"How's that? Aife asked as she stepped to him.
"My sister deserves the moon, and Bo's not even giving her the stars". Stephen said.
Aife sighed and pulled out a small recorder.
"What do you want Kenzi? I'm busy". Bo snapped.
"She threatened me Bo. Lauren threatened me, surely you are not going to let that slide". Kenzi replied.
"What? Bo asked.
"She told me to stay away from her or else". Kenzi said.
"Then maybe you should. No. In fact you will. Stay away from Lauren". Bo said.
"Bo you can't mean that! You are dating her, how am I going to stay away from her?! Kenzi groaned.
"Because I am dating her. She doesn't feel comfortable around you, that's mostly my fault but it is yours too for all of the shit you did and said to her". Bo replied.
"What has she done to you?! Kenzi snapped.
"Changed me. This is my life Kenzi. There won't be anymore going to the Dal and getting drunk talking about the Fae. There will be no more partying until we spot someone for me to sleep with. There will be nothing for me but Lauren". Bo countered and adjusted herself on the motorcycle.
"So you are going to let her decide who's in your life or not? Kenzi snapped.
"When it comes to you, yes. You have never wanted anyone around me but Dyson and Trick. Not even Aife. Trick because he was family and Dyson because you picked him to be with me when you die. How fucked up is that? Bo snapped.
"Bo I didn't mean...
"I know what you meant. That I had to be with a Fae or lil ole me couldn't function in the world. Well congratulations, I am with a Fae, Lauren". Bo said.
"Are you coming home or not? Kenzi snapped.
"My home is where Lauren is, and I need to get going". Bo said.
"You tapped Bo's phone? Stephen laughed.
"Of course not dear boy. Since the Succubus attack on Lauren, I have all of Berlin bugged. Every street. Every park. So whatever you don't want me to hear, don't say it on the streets". Aife laughed as she twirled the recorder in her hand.
"Does my sister know you have that? Stephen asked.
"She does now". Aife laughed again.
"What about our rooms? Their hotel room? Stephen asked.
"Honey I don't want to hear that shit, I only record whatever is said on the streets, and in my dungeons. I am almost like a copper, whatever is said down there will be held against them". Aife laughed as she beckoned for them to follow her.
"Where are we going now? Albert asked.
"Dinner, unless you aren't hungry". Aife smiled.
"Starving actually". Albert said.
"Good. Then lets go eat". Aife said.
Bo and Lauren.
Bo moaned as she found Lauren in her arms. She wasn't sure when that happened, but it was more than a welcomed surprise.
She opened one eye and gasped at the time.
"Lauren". Bo whispered.
"Hmmm? Lauren mumbled
"It's almost eight". Bo said.
"So? Lauren laughed.
"Are we going to stay here all night too? Bo asked shyly.
Lauren stretched in Bo's arms. "No. We do need to get up or we won't sleep for the rest of the night".
Bo stretched as she sat up next to Lauren.
"It's still nice out, lets shower and see if we can get a table outside". Lauren said looking out of the window.
"Sounds good to me". Bo said pulling the covers off of the both of them.
Bo showered first while Lauren picked out what she was going to wear. That was a long and quiet sleep. She was right about them being too wake to sleep later so she planned on seeing how much mischief they could get into that would drain them a little bit. As powerful as they both are, that would take some doing.
They had already gone bike riding. That would be boring. Take a nice long walk? She did notice the sizeable exercise room. Ever since she found out that she was Fae, she had wanted to tone her arms more. So she could use her muscles and not always rely on her powers. Bo would be up for that, if she suggested it first. They have a large pool and even a piano in their suite, so the night was young with possibilities.
"Your turn? Bo smiled as she emerged from the bathroom.
Lauren smiled at how nice Bo looked in black pants, a white dress shirt, with a matching jacket and boots.
"I won't be too long". Lauren said as she pulled her own outfit from the rack and ran into the bathroom.
Bo checked her reflection in the mirror, and walked out on to the balcony. She lifted her head to the sky and took in the fresh air. This is it Succubus, she said to herself. Just follow Lauren's lead and you won't trip over your own feet. Your own foolishness.
This is your time to show her that you are serious about this. Never forget how close she was to breaking up with you. Never forget how she felt when she went into your Dawning after showing up for it in the first place. That soft kiss just before you went in. It held so much. Love. Fear. Distance.
Bo clapped her hands and walked back inside. She smiled at the piano, she never learned to play but still loved the sleek look of it. She played a few notes and then spun around when she heard the bathroom door open.
"Wow". Bo smiled.
"Too much? Lauren asked looking herself over.
"Absolutely not". Bo smiled again.
Lauren was wearing a blue pinstriped pantsuit, as her hair framed her face.
"Shall we? Bo asked as she licked her lips.
"Lets go". Lauren smiled grabbing a few things.
The women walked out of the room and immediately entered the elevator. It was going to be a long ride down for Bo. Part of her wanted to take Lauren right there on the elevator, but she calmed her wants remembering her own pep talk earlier. Try to have one nice night without sex Succubus, she whispered internally.
Lauren was blushing reading Bo's aura. But she didn't want to make love tonight either. She wanted fun, but out of bed this time.
"Good evening ladies. How can I help you? A gentlemen at the Restaurant Quarré Outside greeted them.
"So sorry but is there a table for two available? Lauren asked.
"But of course Dr. Lewis. Queen Aife insisted we hold a table at all times in your honor". The gentleman smiled.
Lauren and Bo nodded when he gestured for them to follow him.
"Pretty sure we could order everything for free". Bo smiled.
"Princess Isabeau". The gentleman said as he bowed pulling her chair out after seating Lauren.
"Just Bo please". Bo blushed as she accepted the seat.
"Very well madam. Order whatever you like, the Queen has been most generous with her commands". The gentleman said as he walked off and another man walked up.
"Princess Isabeau and Dr. Lewis, a bottle of our best wine". The waiter bowed.
"Bo please". Bo smiled.
"Thank you". Lauren smiled after he poured her glass.
"I will give you a few minutes to look over our menu". The waiter bowed again as he left them to it.
"Geez. Could mom embarrass us any further? Bo laughed.
"Bo". Lauren said.
"I'm sorry. To us". Bo said as she tapped Lauren's glass with her own.
"To us". Lauren smiled as both Succubus stared into each other's eyes.
"So do you know what you want? If they don't have steak here, I might opt for a burger". Bo smiled as she looked at the menu.
"I do. But I can wait until you're ready". Lauren smiled.
"Ok". Bo said in embarrassment. She could barely read the menu but was happy some of it was in English.
"That looks like steak to me". Bo laughed as she read it.
"So you're ready then? Lauren asked.
"I am". Bo said nodding for the waiter.
"Yes ma'am? Are we ready? The waiter asked.
"We are". Lauren said sitting her wine glass down.
"I will have the Bunter Quinoa and the Kalbsflanksteak". Lauren smiled gently.
"Excellent and you Bo? The waiter asked.
"I will have the same as Dr. Lewis". Bo smiled looking up at the man.
"Excellent. It will be ready shortly". The waiter smiled as he hurried off. Bo laughed knowing they were his only table. When he left earlier he walked away and turned back to face their table, never moving until Bo called for him. Aife struck again, Bo laughed again.
"It's nice out huh? Bo smiled as she looked to the sky.
"It is". Lauren said as she looked around as well.
"Hey are you cold? I noticed you shivered just now". Bo said worriedly.
"Not at all". Lauren smiled.
"Are you sure? You can have my jacket if you want". Bo offered.
"I'm fine Bo. I just love the view". Lauren smiled as she looked around again.
"In more ways than one I hope". Bo laughed.
"Delicious". Lauren winked.
"So you like this hotel? Bo asked.
"I do. It's big and spacious. Relatively quiet too". Lauren said looking around. The other tables around them had filled up quickly.
Bo nodded as the waiter returned with their soups.
"Thank you". Bo and Lauren said in unison.
"You're welcome ladies. The main dish will be ready shortly". The waiter bowed as he retreated again.
"Constantly bowing". Bo laughed.
"Does that bother you that much? Lauren asked.
"Just a little embarrassing". Bo laughed.
"But you're royalty Bo. You've known that for some time now". Lauren smiled.
"Does that bother you? Bo asked.
"Not at all". Lauren sighed gently taking her first bite.
"I am sure she will take over Toronto or at least the Fae with her crown". Bo laughed.
"She's probably working on it right now". Lauren laughed.
The women joked and laughed as they finished their soup and the waiter returned with their entree. Bo's mouth dropped open when she saw hers.
"Veal basically". Lauren explained.
"Ok. First time for everything right? Bo smiled as she dug in.
After twenty minutes the women were finished with their entrees and Lauren ordered Schwarzwälder KirschKreation to go.
"What's that? Bo ask
"Chocolate cake". Lauren smiled as she stood up.
"Thank you ladies for joining us. Enjoy the rest of your night". The waiter bowed again.
Bo dug into her pockets for a tip.
"That is not necessary Princess Isabeau. The Queen has been most generous". The waiter bowed gently waving off Bo's money.
"Very well then. Thank you". Bo said extending her hand to Lauren.
"Goodnight ladies". The waiter bowed again.
"So what do you want to do now? Bo asked.
"Lets go upstairs, eat this and then hit the exercise room". Lauren laughed.
"You got it Dr. Lewis". Bo bowed.
The women hurried upstairs, shared the dessert and changed into sweat pants and tank tops.
Once they arrived Bo laughed as Lauren hit the treadmill first. She jumped on the one next to her and they made small talk until Lauren stepped off and grabbed the free weights. Bo's eyes turned blue when Lauren started pumping iron.
"Bo". Lauren laughed.
"I'm sorry". Bo said shaking her head until her eyes turned brown again.
"You really don't need to work out you know. You're fine as you are". Bo said quietly.
"Thank you. But I don't want to always have to rely on my witch and my Succubus to handle anything". Lauren said.
"Nobody is going to hurt you Lauren". Bo smiled.
"This is more about my patients. The ones bigger and taller than me. I really want to get back to that soon". Lauren smiled.
"Ahh your clinic". Bo nodded.
"Are you still wanting to go into business with Stephen? Lauren asked.
"I have been thinking about it. But I don't think he likes me much yet. But the house is still theirs if they want it". Bo smiled.
"Just give him time. He's always been protective of me". Lauren said.
"As he should be. But I haven't exactly proven that he can trust me with you. With your heart". Bo said pumping iron too.
"You haven't proven that to me either". Lauren said honestly.
Bo winced but it was her idea to say whatever they were feeling and that's how Lauren felt.
"I will. There is nothing more important to me than us". Bo said putting one weight down and grabbed another.
"We'll see". Lauren said softly grabbing a towel.
"Ouch". Bo laughed.
"I'm sorry Bo. I just said the first thing that came to mind". Lauren said.
"No. No. It's ok. I was just reacting. I get you don't trust me again yet. But I will prove it Lauren, and yes you will see. We both will". Bo winked as she stretched.
After an hour had passed they left and returned to their room.
"Shower time again". Lauren said as she set her things down.
"You can go first". Bo said kicking off her shoes.
"I meant together, but ok". Lauren laughed.
"Ohhhh. Well then, lets shower". Bo said as she stripped on the way.
The women stood inside the shower and washed each other. Bo knew it was more about them learning to trust each other again, and not making love all the time, was a big part of that. She was as gentle with Lauren as Lauren was with her.
Lauren sighed gently, as she washed Bo. Once they were good and soapy, they rinsed each other off. Bo was first out as she handed a big towel to Lauren.
"It's almost one". Bo said quietly.
Lauren nodded as she sat at the piano and played a song. Bo sat in the nearest chair and just watched her. She didn't know Lauren could play. She smiled wondering what other secret talents the Doctor held. She wanted to learn all about every one of them, but right now she was just content watching the Doctor in another one of her elements.
Lauren suddenly stood up and put on some soft music. "Dance with me?
"Sure". Bo said clearing her throat.
The women danced through two songs before Bo pulled back an inch.
"I love you Lauren". Bo cooed.
"I love you too Bo". Lauren smiled.
"I heard a but in there". Bo frowned.
"I still have the Succubus to deal with tomorrow". Lauren said.
"What does that have to do with us? Bo asked.
"I just don't know if you will still love me after I decide what to do with them. Which I still haven't decided yet. I sent Aife a text saying I would be over tomorrow". Lauren replied.
"Lauren those assholes attacked you. For no reason. Whatever you decide to do will be fine with me". Bo said.
"Ok". Lauren said.
"I heard another but Doctor". Bo smiled gently.
"You fell in love with Lauren Lewis, the human Doctor. Now that I'm Fae, I'm not the same woman when you first met me". Lauren said.
"I fell in love with all of you Lauren. Your heart. Your soul. Your mind. Your kindness. Your touch. Everything". Bo cooed as she kissed the Doctor's hand.
"I still haven't used her full powers yet". Lauren said.
"Then we will see what she does and nothing will have changed between us. Nothing Lauren". Bo smiled as she pulled Lauren so close to her, she felt her back pop.
"Ahhh". Lauren smiled feeling it.
"Sorry". Bo blushed.
"It's ok. Lets just finish this dance and then see what else we can get into. Perhaps hitting that massive pool, naked". Lauren smiled.
"You're on Doctor Lewis". Bo smiled as she twirled her around and around.
Aife's Castle
"The good Doctor has sent me a text. Do you want to know what she said? Aife asked the Succubus.
"That she's allowing us to walk away unharmed? One asked.
"Not at all. She said she's coming tomorrow instead". Aife laughed.
"So? Where does that leave us now? Dina asked.
"Assed out because I get to kick your asses all night just for the hell of it". Aife laughed as Alfred released Dina's chains dropping her to the floor.
