Don't have a whole lot to do today so I figured I would post a couple of chapters while I have time. Thank you to everyone who is willing to even take a peek at this story. You have no idea how much it means to me.

Chapter 4
After Sam and Dean left, I decided to take a nice warm shower. It was almost noon and I was still in my sleep clothes. I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around myself, feeling refreshed. I wiped my hand across my huge bathroom mirror to clear away the steam. When I looked back at the glass, every part of me jolted in surprise.
"What the hell?" I exclaimed at the angel's sudden appearance.
Castiel's face remained stoic.
"Hello Paige. You're wet and wearing a towel." he stated, observing me.
"Um yeah, I just got out of the shower." I said, hugging my towel tightly.
"I see, it's good to cleanse yourself."
"Well it's definitely relaxing." I voiced, trying to ease past him.
"Am I in your way?" Castiel asked, not seeming to understand.
"It's just, I would prefer to talk to you when I'm not practically naked." I told him, my tone soft.
"Oh, my apologies." the angel said, sounding almost embarrassed.
"Just wait out in the living room for me. I'll just be a few minutes." I instructed him as I slid out the door.
Knowing an angel was in your apartment was a strange sensation. I sighed as I swept my long brunette waves into a ponytail. My hazel eyes had a deadened look, probably from the morning's events. I slipped into a pair of capris and a cami before starting towards the living room. Castiel was just standing in the middle of the room, surveying his surroundings.
"You can sit if you want. Just make yourself at home." I told him.
The angel seated himself on the couch and folded his hands in his lap.
"Do you want anything to eat or drink?" I asked, trying to be hospitable.
"Actually, do you have any meat? I've had strange cravings for it as of late." was his response.
I stared at him quizzically. After a few moments of silence, I spoke again, "I guess I could throw a burger on the grill."
"That'll do, thank you."
"Do you want anything on it?" I inquired.
Castiel nodded, "Yes, cheese and bacon."
I had to stifle a laugh as I headed to the kitchen to prepare food for the quirky angel.
Castiel followed me around my small kitchen as I gathered ingredients. When I set the hamburger meat on the counter, he eyed it like a small child would a shiny new toy.
"So angels like raw meat?" I questioned as I pounded the beef into a patty.
"Um no, it seems to just be me." he replied.
"Interesting."
"What is it that has peaked your interest?" Castiel queried, obviously lost.
This time I did laugh, "Nothing really. It's just not every day that I have an angel in my apartment."
"Yes, I seem to make you nervous." he conveyed.
I felt my face flush.
"You do not make me nervous, okay." I retorted in defense.
"I make you feel different. You find me strange and fascinating, even attractive." Castiel continued, edging closer to me.
"How do you know all this stuff, that is not true by the way?" I countered, my face on fire.
"Anyway, I better go put this burger on the grill." I went on, shooting out of the kitchen before the situation could progress.
I stared at the sizzling meat, hoping that Castiel wouldn't follow after me this time. Suddenly, I heard what sounded like a car pulling up. I looked up and immediately recognized the slick green Camaro. Claire.
"Crap." I said under my breath.
I made sure to turn off the grill before darting back into the apartment and nearly crashing into Castiel in the process.
"Paige I-" he started before I cut him off.
"Go in my room and stay there until I come get you, please." I instructed, pushing him into my bedroom and shutting the door.
"And please, please be quiet." I added just as there was a knock at the door.
Well, that's all I'm gonna post today. I'll probably put Chapter 5 up sometime this week. As always, thanks to all readers and reviewers!
