“Uh Kenz, who is that with Crystal?” she asks.

“I am not sure. Crystal said she would be bringing her best friend. I think her name is Lauren.”

“Lauren” Bo says smiling. “Hey Vex, how about her. How about Lauren for the bet?”

Vex looks at Lauren. “Hmm, maybe. Lets see when she gets here. But yeah, maybe.”

Bo looks back at the two women. Crystal and Lauren seem to be discussing something over at the door. It looks a lot like Lauren is trying to leave and Crystal is trying to drag her in. Bo takes another shot of tequila and gestures Vex for a refill.

Crystal and Lauren finally begin to walk towards them at the bar. Crystal is walking in front and Lauren is following her with a look on her face that Bo can best identify as irritation? Resignation? Hmm, maybe this will be easy, woman that are down are generally easier to seduce.

“Hi Crystal, you made it!” Kenzi says extending her arms out in a hug with Crystal.

“Yeah, sorry we’re late. We had…Well, we… Yeah we were delayed a bit.” Crystal offers apologetically to Kenzi while flickering her eyes at Lauren.

“That’s okay. We were just getting started. This is my best friend Bo. Bo this is Crystal” Kenzi introduces.

Bo and Crystal shake hands.

“Nice to meet you Crystal.”

“Nice to meet you too Bo. Kenzi talks a lot about you. And this is my friend Lauren.”

“Hi Lauren. I’m Kenzi. Nice to meet you.”

“Hi” Lauren says.

“Hi Lauren. I’m Bo. Bo Dennis.” Bo says smiling while extending her arm towards the beautiful woman.

“Hi” Lauren offers with almost no enthusiasm and a fake smile when taking Bo’s hand. Wow she really does not want to be here Bo thinks to herself.

But as their hands touch when they shake hands, Bo feels something. It feels almost like an electricity or current passing between them and through them. Bo is surprised by this and looks at Lauren, wondering if she feels it too. By the puzzled look Bo sees on her face, she does.

The two of them don’t let go at first, but instead they establish eye contact. Doing so Bo sees that Lauren has these beautiful brown eyes. But something in them seems lost? Sad? Closed off? Still wondering about these eyes and whether or not Bo actually made a mistake and the woman in front of here is no 9, but definitely a 10, Lauren withdraws her hand and shakes her head as to shrug of something.
