-So that's it?- Dean asked while him and Elena strolled through the quiet park. Out of all the interviews he's done this one became his favorite. Talking to Elena was easy. He didn't have to pretend to be an agent for her to answer his questions and while he suspected she was holding something back, he also knew she wasn't lying.- Come on you know I'm not a real cop so you can tell me.-
Elena wrapped her arms around herself as a gust of wind blew by. Her black BCBG dress had the thinnest straps imaginable and it was starting to get cold. For a second she wondered how much warmer she would feel if Dean's arms were around her. She quickly pushed the thought out of her mind. She had a boyfriend (kind of) beside Dean was a stranger who clearly wasn't going to stick around.
-Okay so you know how hazing is illegal right?- Elena looked up at Dean as he nodded at her- Well Alicia thinks it's a tradition and since Megan was a pledge she made her swim in the lake in the woods about two weeks ago. No one goes in that lake because the water is so dark you can't see anything and a few people have drowned their over the years. It didn't make the headlines because they were all drunk college kids but its still weird how two of them were on the swim team but drowned in the small lake. Anyway Megan had to swim to the middle and when she was coming back she disappeared under the water. We thought she drowned because we didn't she her come up for at least five minutes but then she walked out from the side and acted like nothing happened, like she was in complete control.-
-Did Megan act different after that?-
- I didn't talk to her much but she seemed more daring, and more of a bitch. I mean she snapped at Alicia the second she was out of the lake and she would never have done that before. And… your gonna think I'm crazy.-
-Try me- Dean put his hand on Elena's shoulder and quickly removed it noticing how good her bare skin felt under his fingers.
-I could've swore I saw her on my balcony that night but there was no way she could have gotten up there from the outside and then jumped off. – Elena hesitated- I was drinking, so that's probably all it was.-
-And how often do you see things, when you drink?- Dean asked and Elena had no answer to that. She just looked at him thankful he didn't think she was insane. The spot where they stopped was kind of romantic. They were surrounded by trees on one side with the sunset on the other. As the wind blew Elena's hair moved in her face and she lifted up her hand to move it away. "God she is beautiful" Dean thought. He reached up to push her hair away from her face and maybe just maybe touch her soft plump lips with his when her phone rang.
Elena sighed, she had an inkling as to what was about to happen and a part of her was sad it didn't. She checked the screen of her Iphone and saw Trey's name. "This must be a sign" she thought. –I should get this.- She turned away from Dean and answered the call.
Dean didn't know if the interruption was a good or a bad thing. He just met this girl but he felt more for her than he had for any of the girls he slept with. Well maybe with a few exceptions. But he hasn't even slept with her yet, and he had a feeling if he did, it wouldn't be a simple one night stand.
-I should head back. It's getting late- Elena walked back towards Dean, and he hated to hear her say that. He didn't want her to leave.
-Uhm I could give you a ride-
-No its okay, my friend is already on the way.- Dean noticed how she failed to mention the sex and he figured it was a guy coming to pick her up. Maybe even her boyfriend. Now that he thought about it he knew there was no way she is single. Just then he saw a black new Ferrari pull up as close as it could get without running through the grass. Elena looked at the car and then back to Dean.
-Sorry I wasn't much help-
-No, you helped- Dean smiled at her- Look if you think of anything else give me a call.- He handed her a business card and made sure his fingers brushed hers as she took it. Elena looked up at him for a second with those beautiful eyes and started to walk away. About half way to the car she turned around and waved. She got in the car without saying a word, and continued to look at Dean until Trey turned out of the park.
