Possibly Maybe

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Charmed, characters or Castiel from Supernatural as they belong to Aaron Spelling Productions & Eric Kripe but I do own Melissa Hale whose, myself created character.

Authors Note: A sequel to my previous story "Lesson 1 In Teaching An Angel How To Date" wherein Melissa's just coming of, of a date with the guy she meet at P3 when she was with Cass Philip which doesn't end well after a demon attacks them & Mel vanquishes him but then has to erase Philip's memory for safety reasons when he freaks out about what just happened prior to that. Mel sees Cass afterwards who visits her subsequent & they, walk inside "Golden Gate Park" eating ice cream talking about what happened as well as the person Cass likes also.

Extra Note: Friendship tagged with the view of something more possibly at the end.

It was summertime start of September late at night 10'oclock. The air was, warm & cool enough to not wear a coat yet.

Melissa Hale & her, date Philip whom she'd meet previously at P3 when she was with Cass walked outside "Quake" restaurant after having a meal there.

Mel was in a square shaped kaki green arm length ankle dress with her medium ginger hair bunched up to the side & a silver rose petal necklace adorned her neck whilst Philip wore a blue suit & tie.

Stopping at the bottom in San Francisco Street the two turned & spoke with one another.

"I had a great time tonight Melissa." Philip remarked smiling.

"Me to Philip" Mel replied back smiling also.

"I hope we can do it again in the future." He asked hopeful.

"Well when you free give me a call." The eldest Charmed One harkened out to him.

"Alright then" Philip nodded before saying next. "Are you sure you don't want me to drive you home in my car I mean it's better than getting taxi at this time of night especially on your own. You never know what can kinder people are out."

Mel smiled sheepishly uttering. "Thanks Philip but I'll be okay. I can take care of myself."

"I know you can Melissa but I'd still feel better if I did though." Her date sparked.

"Okay then you can do that." She sighed agreeing.

"Great thanks." Philip proclaimed relieved about that.

Coming out back to the car park behind "Quake" Philip got his "Mercedes Benz" silver car keys out & pointed it at that in front of them when a low level demon shimmered in all of a sudden summoning an energy ball ready to attack.

Melissa seeing this shouted at Philip. "GET DOWN PHILIP!" & pushed him so both of them fell over onto the ground startling him greatly at what was happening before him just as the energy ball shot past them hitting the wall behind leaving a scorch mark there.

Getting up quickly Melissa said out aloud "DEMON STANDING IN THIS PLACE I SCATTER YOUR MOLECULES THROUGH TIME & SPACE" before he had the chance to try again making energy surge through him which glowed culminating in the demon exploding in pain shouting "AHH!" as his molecules evaporated up into the air before disappearing for good from Philip & Melissa who had her head down avoiding the blinding light leaving the two of them staying where they were.

Heaving heavily Mel turned round subsequent seeing the shocked look on Philip's face who just stared out not believing what happened.

Bending down she took his right hand saying. "Are you okay?" pulling him up wondering how he was.

Breathing crazily Philip stood frozen totally for a few seconds before replying. "What the hell just happened here? What was that thing?"

Mel tried answering him but was interrupted when Philip staring at her even more shocked countered. "& what're you?"

Holding her hand out the 5ft 6 inch woman stated. "Philip."

He backed off too amazed for words just continuing speaking "Oh my god I dated a freak." Then turned around, going towards his car afterwards speechless.

"Wait." Mel exclaimed upset slightly but not totally knowing full well what was happening whispered. "FROM NOW NO MORE SHALL YOU REMEMBER THIS EVENT. I ERASE IT FROM YOUR MIND & HEAD."

Philip's head glowed, swirling orbs around it making him touch it as if he was having a headache meaning the spell worked as he opened the door & got inside his car then.

"Great." The ex-half whitelighter sighed saying turning round next to collect her over the shoulder thin length black satchel of the floor before feeling wind flap in front of her announcing Castiel standing there.

"Cass hey" Mel smiled slightly stating as Philip drove of not noticing the angel coming in. "What're you doing here?"

"I was flying by & saw." He pointed at Philip's car just leaving the car park.

His friend turned round uttering. "Oh yeah well he's not the first date who's ended sourly as you know so."

"I'm sorry." Cass answered upset looking which he did unknowingly.

"That's okay Cass." Mel replied sweetly applying her bag shoulder over again. "I'm used to it so it doesn't bother me."

"He should not have said that about you." The seraph argued slightly angry voice groaning.

"Philip only spoke how any normal person would do when they see something they don't understand which frightens them." She darted back defending the other man's actions a bit then continued. "Besides I don't take notice of it anyway."

Castiel smiled glad of hearing that before saying. "Okay then I shall walk you to your car Melissa."

"I cabbed it here so I could drink Cass." She told him.

"Well then I shall take you to the nearest ranking station." The trench coated man bade.

Mel shook her head commenting. "You don't have to really I fancy an ice cream anyway."

"Okay." Cass said as they both turned round & walked out the car park area.

She collected that from the Italian guy who served her a strawberry & lemon one after paying for both of them. "Thanks." Then handed the brighter coloured cone to Cass who' studied it curiously.

"Try it it's, great." Melissa commented tucking into her strawberry flavoured one after she said that.

Bringing it up to his lips Cass copied her actions feeling a tangy sensation on his mouth for the first time which appealed to him strangely.

His friend stared back wondering what he was thinking when the angel answered laughing. "Ha! Hmm this's nice." liking how it tasted.

"Thought you'd like it" "The things I learn about you Cass." Mel stated smiling as she started walking down the "Golden Gate Park" path which shone brightly in the moonlight. "Ice creams always a good thing to have when you bummed down along with a Clark Gable DVD marathon also."

Cass laughed again at that as he looked up at the moon above him then the near non-existent people in the park as well. "It's nice & peaceful here."

"Yeah this's where I bring Lucky for his walks with Charlotte before dropping her off at "Magic School".

"I don't like him." The man replied.

"Why Cass?" His pal asked him.

"He humps me all the time." Cass moaned in response.

Mel laughed out hysterically. "Well of course he does Cass. Lucky humps everyone he likes."

"I don't like him chewing my clothes & I have to repair them again & again." The angel exclaimed.

The 35 year old witch threw her hands in the air aspiring. "Okay I'll try, tell him not to do it then but if he does so still despite that I can't stop him Cass. That's just how Lucky is."

"Thank you." He replied back before asking "So how is Magic School then?" Relating to what happened with Gideon.

"Running" Mel declared. "Paige managed to persuade the Elders to keep it open so they made her headmistress & run it which she is doing really great at."

"That's good you need it." Cass replied nodding his head.

"Yeah" The other remarked nodding herself.

"So are you goanna ask Philip out again despite what happened or." The angel asked her walking on again.

"No." She shook back & forth surmising. "I know what he's like now when he found out my secret so it's best I don't otherwise I'll just have to say the spell if that happens again."

"I'm sorry." Cass blurted out like he did earlier.

"Hey." Mel replied placing her left hand on his right shoulder. "You don't have to keep saying that. I've had the true love thing twice with 3 beautiful from kids them despite it not working out for me." Pertaining to her 2 now non-existent future ones & present girl she has there. "If that's meant for me, & I keep it without anything bad happening okay then if not so be it. I'm not goanna cry over it Cass."

The multitude of his friend's attitude amazed the angel greatly how she always went on regardless of the knock backs she had. Mel reminded him of a song he heard on the radio called "Friend Of Mine" by Lea Salonga which went.

I`ve known you for so long you are a friend of mine
But is this all we`d ever be? I`ve loved you ever since
You are a friend of mine & babe is this all we ever could be?
You tell me things I`ve never known I shown, you love you`ve never shown
But then again, when you cry I`m always at your side
You tell me about the love you`ve had I listen very eagerly
But deep inside you`ll never see This feeling of emptiness
It makes me feel sad But then again I`m glad

I`ve known you all my life you are a friend of mine
I know this is how it`s goanna be I`ve loved you then and I love you still
You`re a friend of mine now, I know friends are all we ever could be

You tell me things I`ve never known I shown you love you`ve never shown
But then again, when you cry I`m always at your side
You tell me about the love you`ve had I listen very eagerly
But deep inside you`ll never see this feeling of emptiness
It makes me feel sad but then again
Then again then again I`m glad.

That's how he felt with her which Cass couldn't deny. The Charmed One bit into her cone once she'd licked of the cream part prying him from his thoughts saying. "Except I, won't dress so formally next time."

"No you look great." Cass commented before saying he shouldn't have. "It brings out your eyes."

His eyes widen after realising what he did so the warrior added quickly. "From what Dean's, told me."

"That's sweet Cass. Thanks." Melissa reported back. "You'd make a good boyfriend or husband for someone if you were allowed to do that, that is. You'd be kind & caring to them. Wouldn't cheat & always be there for them."

"Really? How do you know that?" Cass said surprised hearing that from her then.

"From what I've, learned about you." She responded truthfully "I mean you said you liked someone the last time we met right?"

The man's throat tightened worried the woman might know who he meant.

"Who is she then? What's she like?" Mel enquired biting the side of her ice cream cone as she sat down on a bench overlooking an acorn tree.

"She's smart nice." Cass stated not trying to give too much away.

"Is she tall, short? Has long or short hair? Well, built or slim?" His confident quizzed him wanting to know more.

"She's quite tall has long hair & is not too thin." The other crooned back trying to answer her best.

"Okay what's her name then?" Mel continued saying. "Have you known her long? Are you both friends?"

"Her name's Ariel." He lies. "I haven't known her long. & we're acquaintances."

"Ah right." The witch replied. "So have you told her how you feel?"

"No." The angel shook his head quoting.

"Why not?" Melissa solicited curiously.

"Because of what I said about not being with women vie the apocalypse."

"But surely you could be with her after that though right?" She ushered at him.

"Until something else happened that kept us apart or she met someone else. Besides angels, aren't allowed to be with humans anyway."

"So weren't witches & whitelighters." The opposite summed up.

"Yeah well she considers me more a friend or brother like." Castiel countered.

"You never know anything can happen, Cass." Mel remarked seeing a bit of ice cream on his face which she wiped off using her hand. "If things were different & she didn't think of you like that."

The woman leaned forward & kissed Cass on the lips sweetly which surprised the angel greatly before she got up turning around saying. "Maybe she'd do something about it." Prior to Mel' leaving him alone with his thoughts afterwards.

The End.
