A/N: I only own the OC.
Yankees01, WorldnWords, Guest, Emmettluver2010 and grrlygrrl thank you for the reviews.
I got up the next morning and headed to Marek's. We always had Saturday brunch at his house and Christie had already texted me twice to make sure that I was going to be there. She wanted another girl there with her. I picked up some OJ and headed over there. I was greet by baby Marek squealing from the kitchen when he saw me.
"Hi, my little nephew." I said and took him from her after putting the OJ in the fridge.
"They are still sleeping?" I asked her and she rolled her eyes as she put biscuits in the oven.
"Thanks for coming." she said and I chuckled.
"No one is messing up my weekend tradition." I said and she smirked.
"Are you going to talk to him?" she asked me and I knew that she was referring to Colby.
"We talked yesterday, and he apologized, but it's not like I'm just going to be his automatic friend." I said and she chuckled.
"Oh, who is his friend?" I asked Christie and she smirked.
"Think he's cute?" she asked me and I scoffed.
"Cute? He's fucking hot." I said and she started laughing as I put the baby on the mat and turned on whatever cartoon Christie told me. I hadn't heard of any of these characters or cartoons, but he was already falling asleep as I walked back to the kitchen. She handed me a cup of coffee as we sat at the kitchen table.
We were talking and the biscuits had just gotten done when we heard movement upstairs.
"I got the eggs." I said and she shook her head no.
"Just sit... you did everything else." I said and shooed her away from the stove. I was making the eggs when Colby and Dean appeared in the kitchen. Dean was in pajama pants and a wife beater. Colby was in shorts and a wife beater.
"Morning." Christie said as they made a bee line for the coffee pot. I was standing next to it when Dean leaned over to see what I was making.
"They look good." he said and I gave a small smile. I wanted to tell him that he looked good, but left it with a smile. Colby was talking to Christie as Dean stood there with me.
"You are one of Colby's friends?" he asked me and I chuckled.
"He's my brother's friend... so friend by association at best." I said and he chuckled at my answer.
"I'm surprised he's not trying to date you." he said and I laughed out loud. I turned red because I hadn't meant to, but he just laughed.
"No." I finally said and he nodded.
"So... any boyfriend?" he asked me and I was surprised that he was being forward about this.
"Why do you want to know?" I asked him and he smirked at me.
"Because maybe I want company for dinner tonight." he said and I nodded.
"They go by the hour on the corner." I said and he smirked as he sipped coffee.
"I prefer people who don't." he said with a smirk.
"So, can I persuade you to keep me company?" he asked me and I looked at him. He was giving me puppy dog eyes, but there was a glint of crazy in them.
"You dump that glass of water on Colby and it's a deal." I said and he looked from me to the water. I watched in shock as he went and dumped it on Colby. I was laughing and Christie was laughing.
"What the hell?" Colby asked Dean.
"You looked like you were falling asleep so Macey and I thought you could use the wake up call." Dean told him and Seth shot me a look.
"7 pm?" Dean asked me as he walked back over for his coffee.
"I will come get you from Colby's." I said and he nodded before joining them at the tables. The eggs finished, Christie got Marek up, and we ate. I was happy to have Colby glaring at me most of the meal.
Dean POV
I was at Colby's and he was almost mad that I was going to dinner with Macey.
"It's not my fault you hadn't tried it yet." I said and he shook his head.
"She's Marek's brother." he said and I nodded.
"She's fucking hot." I shot back and he rolled his eyes.
"Don't make her your rebound girl." he said and I shrugged.
Macey showed up at 7 and based on her suggestions we ended up at a local steak house. She was fun to be around and to talk to. I was impressed that she was a nurse and nothing like Renee. She also had a lot of really embarrassing stories about Seth.
"Thank you for inviting me to dinner." she said as we walked up to Colby's door.
"I had fun. I will be in town for a few weeks since I am off the road. Can I see you again?" I asked her and she smiled.
"I would like that." she said and put her number in my phone. I kissed her cheek before she walked back to her truck. I walked inside and he was in the living room.
"You look pissy." I said and he sighed.
"I just got told that Leighla is selling the engagement ring. The info is online." he said and I nodded. I knew that he and Leighla had definitely ended up bad terms, but I hadn't expected her to put his info out there for everyone.
"Sorry." I said as I went to the kitchen got two beers, and sat in the living room with me. He downed half the beer and sighed.
"I knew that Zahra was a mistake, but I thought this part of my life was over. I came here to recover, figure out what's going on, and move forward." he said and I nodded. I didn't really have anything else to say so I just sat there with him and let him think out loud.
