Pocketing the quarter Riley raced back for the kitchen, opening the door just in time to let Rachel out, a tray of filled lemonade glasses teetered in her arms.
"Let me help you with that." Riley said, grabbing the tray from the young woman before she could reply. Smiling to her Rachel led the way to the two rather large, plush white couches that adorned the rather large main room. A smile on her face as she met the gaze of the two young men that now sat there.
Grabbing two of the glasses Riley now held on the tray Rachel placed one cup down in front of Dean, the other in front of Sam. Riley soon found it very hard to keep from gagging at the sight as the pretty young blonde coed hovered low, giving both men a rather long and clear view down her shirt.
'Please. Just kill me now.' Riley thought to herself closing her eyes in an effort to remove the disturbing image from her mind. 'This is not my day.' Sighing Riley opened her eyes in time to see Rachel start to stand up, Deans eyes shooting to her long tanned legs and up hovering over certain areas that stood out.
'Men.' Riley whispered under her breath. Rolling her eyes Riley not so gently set the tray down on the table, the thud not only nearly causing the drinks to spill, but gaining the attention of the others.
"Sorry." Riley giggled the ever so annoying valley girl giggle that she had begun to hate. Her eyes darted to the Winchester's, both smiled nervously. Taking her drink, Rachel smiled playfully before taking a seat across from the two men. Her eyes looming over Sam flirtatiously.
Grabbing the remaining cup Riley made her way beside Rachel who now sat cross-legged and leaning forward, only amplifying the size of her already large breasts.
"Come on honey don't be like that." Dean mocked looking to Riley, a smug smile on his face. Sam, having heard the choice of words that his older brother used, nearly choked on the drink he had took.
"Excuse me." Sam struggled to say as he fought back the coughs that ensued.
"I'm sorry?" Riley asked, not knowing what the man was meaning, but knowing she would surely make Dean pay for it later.
"You can sit by me." Dean smiled patting the cushion next to him. Smiling politely to Rachel, Riley reluctantly made her way around the small coffee table and passed Dean. Sitting down Riley felt her body stiffen and grow tense. Not because she was next to the Winchester's exactly, but because at any moment her cover could be blown if something was said or done wrong and, seeing the sheer satisfaction in Deans eyes at the trouble she was feeling, she hoped he would not do it.
"So you're the boyfriend. I was wondering which one of you she took off the market. You two look so cute together." Rachel cooed, her voice cracking as though the sight of the two 'lovebirds' caused her to choke up with emotions. Bringing a hand to her chest the younger blonde sighed. "I wish I had that."
Forcing a laugh Riley never realized how awkward she felt, taking a long drink of the lemonade in her hand the woman wished it was a beer. The ring at the doorbell gave the uncomfortable brunette a break for the awkwardness.
"That should be the pizza. Britt…money?" Rachel chimed in as she stood to leave, reaching an arm out for the money that minutes before Riley had raced down the stairs with. "If you will excuse me for a moment." Money in hand Rachel made her way briskly to the door, leaving a rather pleased looking Dean gawking after her.
With Rachel out of sight Riley quickly smacked the man beside her.
"Put your eyes back in your head Dean." She growled, voice low so not to attract attention. "Now what the hell are you doing here?" Shooting her eyes to Sam and the direction of the door, hoping that Rachel's flirting with the pizza man would continue just long enough to get an answer.
"What are you doing here?" Dean shot back, hand massaging where Riley had just smacked him. "And no more hitting."
"Don't give me a reason." Riley smirked menacingly. "But so help me if you blow my cover…."
"So violent. You might want to see someone about your anger issues." Dean laughed, enjoying the look Riley gave him.
"Why you little….I swear if I didn't…..." Eyes wide Riley wanted to strike him but was quickly silenced as Rachel entered the room, a large pizza in hand.
"Would you guys care for some pizza?" Rachel's asked, placing the box in the center of the table, Sam leaning forward to move several of their glasses to make room. "Thank you." Rachel smiled to him bringing a smile to Sam's face as well.
"Actually they….." Riley started to say before once more being interrupted by Dean and his evil smirk.
"Would love some." Dean interrupted taking a quick look to Riley, a wide grin engraved upon his face as he saw the look in Riley deep green eyes. "Thanks Rachel."
"Besides…." Dean added after reaching for a slice of cheese pizza, leaning over Riley more than she would have liked. "Gives me more time to spend with my girl."
Leaning back, Dean continued to lay his right arm across Riley's back, pulling her close. Closing the still rather large gap Riley had purposely left between them. Glancing to him Riley fought the urge to retaliate. Not that being so close to a man had ever annoyed her, but the mere fact that she knew Dean was trying to push all her buttons at once, and at a moment where she had to take it. The look in her eyes only causing the man to pull her closer, to the point where she had no choice but to lean against him.
"You're too kind honey." Riley replied, taking a moment to place her hand softly on Deans leg. A look of happy surprise filling his eyes only to be quickly extinguished and replaced with that of pain as Riley's grip on his leg tightened and nails started to dig into his clothed flesh. "Too kind."
"So where did you all meet?" Rachel asked, having eyed Sam the last few moments she didn't see Dean jump as Riley dug her fingers into him.
"Well I met…Brittney several years ago at community college." Sam replied, ignoring the childish antics of those next to him. He had to admit the young woman before him was rather pretty. Long blonde hair, pleasant smile, charming really, his thoughts returned to Jessica and a pain of guilt stung at him.
"When Sammy brought her home I couldn't keep my hands off her." Dean smiled, the hand that had once pulled Riley tightly at her shoulder now moved lower before finally squeezing her side causing the woman to leap up.
Standing quickly Riley moved several paces away, arms instinctively going around her waist, covering her sides.
"Brittney? You okay?" Sam's asked, concerned at the woman's outburst.
"Fine. Just fine Sam." Tuning around Riley saw the confused look on everyone's face and quickly fought for an explanation. "I…I got a cramp. Sorry." Quietly Riley took her spot beside Dean once more, making sure to cover her side in the process.
"So how long will you guys be in town?" Rachel asked, her attention fading back to Sam.
"A couple days." Dean replied, taking another look to the woman beside him. Her quick movement had caught him off guard.
"We heard of the accidents in the area and we wanted to check up on Brittney. Make sure she was alright." Sam added.
"Scott. That was so sad. He was such a sweet guy." Rachel brought a hand to her overly exposed chest.
"So you knew him?" Sam attention peaked as he obliviously interrogated the woman before him.
"I knew of him. I didn't really get to a chance to know him. I only started coming the this school about 2 months ago, just got into the sorority on Sunday." Rachel replied. "Why the questions?"
"Just curious that's all." Sam smiled out of the corner of his eye he saw Dean and Riley bickering amongst themselves. "So where are you from?"
"Would you please leave. I have this one handled. So buzz off." Riley whispered so only Dean would hear her, luckily Sam was keeping Rachel's attention all to himself which allowed Riley to be so blunt.
"Look here, I don't take orders from you 'Brittney'" Dean antagonized, his arm remaining around her purely for show. Had he known she was in the area Dean probably would have avoided the place all together. Thoughts of their last encounter filled his mind, how she left him chained to a bed, stole his father's journal and broke into his car. Dean didn't trust her, but for the sake of the job, he had to act like he did.
"You are so childish you know that. You don't know what I've done to get here so if you cause trouble for me so help me God, I will kick your ass." Riley threatened making sure no one would hear. Deans eyes stared her down trying to find a chink in her armor.
"I'd like to see you try." Dean dared knowing full well she was quite capable of giving him a run for his money but Dean was still confident that his brute strength would win out in the end.
"I did it before, I could do it again." Riley shot back coolly. Her emerald eyes meeting the deep hazel of his, daring for a reply. John had told her often, when he talked of his boys, how witty and harsh Dean could be in his wording, but it still surprised her and Riley found herself pulling out all the stops in order to keep up.
"We should be going Sam," Dean muttered as he stood up, looking to Riley with a look she couldn't decipher.
"What? Yeah. Sure." Standing up Sam didn't bother to argue seeing as they still had to check into a hotel nearby. "Thank you for the lemonade and pizza Rachel." Sam added hoping to break the slight tension that entered the air in the room.
"No problem. We should do it again while you guys are here." Rachel replied as she started to show them to the door, Sam walking right beside her. Dean and Riley some distance behind.
"Thanks for having us." Sam added opening the door, Rachel still close by. "It was….. fun." Smiling as warmly as he could as the bright rays of the sun fell on him through the now open door. Squinting his eyes adjusted once more to the brightness of the light outside
"My pleasure Sam." Rachel replied, trying her best to keep his attention. "We should really do this again." A smile lighting her face as she spoke leaning ever closer to the man.
"Good to see you again Brittney." Sam cleared his throat nervously, obviously noting the fair haired womans attempts.
"Thanks for stopping by guys." Riley's voice broke in as she and Dean finally made it to the door. "See you around Dean, Sam." Hurriedly she tried to push the two men out without drawing much attention. "Drive safe."
Relief rushing over her, Riley felt her body start to relax save for the slight annoyance that still lingered in her side. With every moment the door closed Riley more at ease, until Deans hand reached back in, stopping her efforts.
'So close' Riley thought to herself, hanging her head momentarily in defeat as the door began to open once more.
"Sorry to bother you again." Dean stated taking a few steps in to prevent the door from closing, just in case Riley got the urge to slam the door in his face. "Rachel, would you mind if I kidnapped your roommate for a few hours? Can't get enough of her." Dean added taking a sarcastic look to Riley.
"Of course. Be my guest." Rachel replied pulling the door open more so the two could come in.
"I can't." Riley interjected, not wanting to leave. She had made some headway in her research in the last few hours and leaving now would only prolong any discoveries she would be about to make. "Rachel was supposed to catch me up on the sorority pledge. After all its later this week and I am way behind. Sorry babe." Riley added, knowing full well her studying of sorority regulations consisted of mixing faux studying with actual interrogating. Quickly she tried to force the door shut but Dean's body prevented her from achieving her task.
"Nothing that can't wait a few more hours." Rachel stated, siding with the Winchester's.
"Fine." Seeing she was outnumbered and knowing Rachel wouldn't stop harassing her till she left, nor would the Winchesters, Riley reluctantly agreed. "Wait here, I'll go change." Sighing heavily Riley let the door swing open.
Turning away Riley found herself caught short as Dean responded, just a little to eagerly.
"Not necessary." Deans replied, eyes taking another look over her, remembering the last time he had seen her. Her clothes showing her figure ever so slightly, not like now, and a sly grin lit his face. "Really." True he lost a fight to her, and Dean found himself unable to trust her, but that didn't mean he didn't find her greatly attractive.
"Yes it is….really." Riley countered looking back at him. Meaning every word as she noticed the look on the older Winchester's face. "Excuse me."
Dismissing herself Riley turned her attention forward once more, silently cursing to herself.
'This can't get any worse.' Riley thought, as she grudgingly made her way up the polished white staircase, each step heavy as the first.
"Miss you already." Dean called after her as Riley quickened her pace up the staircase, slamming the door behind her.
"Stupid….idiotic….." Growling to herself, Riley dug through her clothes, finding those that would not only allow her to stay cool in the heat of the Arizona sun, but clothes that would also cover her from prying eyes. "Miss you already." Riley continued to threaten in the empty room, pull a thing long sleeved shirt over her head. "Pain in my ass."
