Ta ta daa, its time for Dean to give Dede an answer ;)) Enjoy the chapter.
Dean and I went to the local bar; it sure was a different scene. Our diner was more of a family-friendly place, where friends came to hang out and chill, while the bar was a bit more "rough" on the edges and definitely an adult only kind of joint, I liked going there once in a while.
Once we walked in, all eyes were upon us. Of course! I was a local girl so everybody knew me, as for Dean well he was the stranger to be watched carefully. Like in every small town, everybody was a busy bee and knew everything and anything about each and every single person so when someone new appeared, all bees turned into hawks. As you would have it the rumors of me and Brad – already spreading faster than wildfire – made them believe they had a right to watch me and anybody with me very carefully, and Dean having his hand on my waist to guide me inside as we walked in, was big shock factor for them, but secretly I was smirking, loving how confused they all looked.
"Why they are staring at us like that?" Dean asked leaning to whisper in my ear.
"That's normal, you're a stranger." I told him softly hearing him chuckle. "Yep,"
"Well, it feels weird." He said pointing at a booth at the end of the bar. "Let's sit there, away from the nosy people."
"Sure." I nodded walking to the booth. "Rob, stop staring and get us two beers." I called at the bartender; he smirked at me and nodded.
*Said you know I love you, baby. My love for you I could never hide.
Oh, you know I love you, baby. My love for you I could never hide.
"Nosy people but they've got some good music." Dean said as we heard Zeppelin's music coming from across the bar.
"Wait till you try the drinks." I said slipping into the booth; Dean sat on the other side of the table so he was facing me.
When you hear me moaning and groaning, baby, you know it hurts me deep down inside.

"What can I get you?" The blonde waitress asked Dean, "Hey Claudie," She said carelessly.
"Hey Sally." I said forcing a smile. But the girl didn't even care; she was way too busy smiling like an idiot at Dean.
"Cheese burger, and two shots, please sweetheart." Dean told her with a cheeky grin. "You do shots, right?" He asked me and I nodded watching the blonde who was about to lose her panties.
"Anything else, handsome?" She asked Dean, obviously flirting. I rolled my eyes looking the other way hiding a smile.
"Not at the moment," Dean said winking at her. And as sure as hell he made sure to check her out in her tiny skirt as she giggled and walked away.
"Thanks for taking my order too, bitch." I mumbled, she took Dean's order and didn't even bother to ask me.
"Did you say something?" Dean asked taking his eyes off the waitress.
"No," I huffed. "So, you are planning on talking or what?"
"What? Can't you wait till I eat?" Dean asked me throwing me another innocent look, but I was done. I shook my head leaning against the table closer to him.
"No!" I growled. "You're going to talk now, you're toying with me dude, and I don't like it. Give me an answer, now!" I demanded.
Dean smirked, leaning in towards me as well. "Am I supposed to be scared now?" He teased, his eyes staring into mine. "Because I'm not." He said, his eyes lowering down to my cleavage, smirking at the sight of me in a low cut top. I need to stop wearing those.
"Eyes up here, Dean." I said pointing with two fingers up to my eyes catching his attention. I leaned back in my chair and automatically Dean did the same.
"Your drinks," a female voice said putting a tray on our table, Dean and I looked at the blonde waitress who smiled at Dean. "Your food will be right up." She said before hurrying away.
Dean grabbed one of the shot glasses waving it at me so I picked the other one. "Cheers." Dean said hitting my glass softly with his, before he washed it down.
"Whatever," I said drinking mine, all at once too, feeling the burning heat rushing down my throat.
"I agree." Dean said putting the empty glass on the table.
"What?" I asked confused, coughing a little. He smirked at me while he reached for his beer.
"I know I will regret this but I agree taking you with me." Dean told me as I stared at him in shock.
"Really?" I asked him my eyes widening.
"Really," Dean chuckled taking a sip of his beer. "My dad would kill me if he knew," He laughed to himself. "But, I swear, one mistake and I'll drag you back home."
"Understood," I nodded with a big smile on my face, I fought against the urge to stand up to do a little victory dance around the place. "I won't let you down."
"You better not," Dean said. "But," He started, his tone getting serious as he lost the smile he had on his face. "I only agreed because as you said, I didn't save you to see you die again, and I know you sat your mind on doing this with or without me, right?"
"Yeah, you're right." I told him honestly.
"Exactly," Dean sighed.
"But hey, I must be special, right?" I teased seeing the look he gave me.
"From now on, I'm the boss, no smart-ass-ness, alright?" Dean told me.
"Ai, Ai Captain." I smirked as he rolled his eyes on me. We stopped talking for a few minutes as the waitress brought Dean's food, starting her second session of obvious flirt. "Come on Sally, it's just a burger, for God's sake." I huffed making her glare at me.
Dean chuckled watching her walking away. "She has a nice, humm, name!" He said checking her out.
"Yeah, name, right!" I said sarcastically. "Sally has nice everything, but brains." I told him and Dean looked at me with raised eyebrow. "We all went to high school together. She worked in our place for a while but Martine fired her, lazy ass bitch. Sally, not Martine."
Dean chuckled and started digging in his food. "Did you tell your sister about hunting?" He asked me.
"No, not yet." I shook my head.
"Well, you better hurry because we are leaving tomorrow morning." Dean told me.
"What?" I exclaimed. "Tomorrow like tomorrow?"
"No, tomorrow like tomorrow." Dean mocked. "I've a hunt and we need to hurry, you always have a choice, though." He said with a sneaky smile, trying to make me back off.
"No!" I said firmly. "I'm coming, I only need to tell my family I'm leaving," I sighed.
"As I said, you better hurry," Dean said taking a big bite of the burger. "This tastes awesome."
"Enjoy it." I said standing up. "I'll meet you up at the motel, early morning." I said snatching some fries from his plate.
"Another rule," Dean pouted. "Don't ever snatch my food." He said and I laughed at him.
"Like this?" I teased grabbing a few more and eating them. Dean glared at me and that made me laugh even more. "Okay, okay, I'm leaving." I laughed reaching for my beer, "But taking this with me, see ya tomorrow Dean. Thanks for the beer."
"You're welcomed," He smiled. I smiled back at him before walking out of the bar.
...
I Can't Quit You, Baby,
So I'm gonna put you down for awhile.
I said I can't quit you, baby,
I guess I gotta put you down for awhile.
Said you messed up my happy home,
Made me mistreat my only child.
Yessir, you did!
...
I danced my way out of the bar; I was so excited Dean agreed taking me with him in a hunt. I knew he was probably going to make it tough so I give up and quit, but he didn't know me yet, I'm tougher than my looks, and Dean was about to get a taste of that.
I was walking in the street humming 'I Can't Quit You Baby' it was stuck in my mind since I heard it in the bar. I danced on my bad singing, still drinking my beer, and I bet I looked like a crazy ass drunk chick, but it was a Saturday night, it was understandable, sorta.
"Claudia?" I heard someone calling, hearing footsteps coming closer to me. I turned around and saw Brad, the hot cop. He wasn't in his uniform but wearing summer casual clothes, jeans and a tight fitting black Bon Jovi t-shirt. "Are you drunk?" He asked with a chuckle.
"No, no," I laughed walking to him. "Only hyper, but not drunk, I only had this one beer."
Brad laughed shaking his head. "Nice performance there, you rocked that song." He teased.
"Uh, don't be mean!" I said slapping his arm playfully. "I just spiced it up a little. You don't know anything about art."
"Right?" Brad said sarcastically. "So, do you want company? Where were you heading anyway?"
"Back to the Café," I informed tossing the empty bottle in the trash.
"Great, I was heading there too." Brad said with a sweet smile. And I knew he was lying, he was probably heading to the bar to meet up with the rest of his friends or something, but he offered to walk me back, and I wasn't going to say no.
"Great, you can walk me, Sir!" I joked.
"Oh, don't sir me!" Brad frowned.
"I thought you liked people calling you that, Deputy!" I said teasing him. Brad rolled his eyes on me and chuckled.
"Only when I arrest you, you can call me that." He said.
"Humm, I'm not sure I want that to happen, Brad!" I laughed shaking my head as Brad nodded laughing too.
"Yep." He said walking next to me. A moment of silence passed as the two of us walked side by side. "So, um," Brad started and I looked up at him waiting for what he had to say. "Do you, you know, um maybe," He stuttered.
"Brad, take a deep breath and then talk!" I smiled patting on his firm muscular arm.
He stared at me with his chocolate brown eyes for just a second before smiling, braving himself. I didn't describe Brad, did I? Well, Brad was around 26 or 28, I wasn't quite sure. He was tall, like tall, Sasquatch tall. Black short hair, deep brown eyes, and a hell of a body. He looked like he hit the gym twice a day or something, I mean the t-shirt he was wearing was so tight fitting that it showed off his abs. Brad was cute, even with his firm cop looks he had this softness in his eyes that would make you trust him instantly.
In that split second those eyes looked down on me a few thoughts were going through that little brain of mine, I mean with the way he looked and being so obviously nervous, I couldn't! I couldn't help but compare him with Dean, I didn't know why I was comparing the two men, but I was. They were two opposite person, they acted differently and looked totally unalike, it was silly to compare them but there I was doing just that. It was strange, mostly because there was nothing between me and Dean, and well technically not Brad either – not that it couldn't change either way. On one hand I knew that Dean's attitude made its impact on me, and I was gonna go hunting with him, it was going to be tough on me, and on the other hand there I was standing in front of a very fidgety Brad who was getting cuter by the second...
"So, I was saying," Brad started talking again snapping me right out of my thoughts. "If you ever want to go out, sometime this week, maybe?" He asked, more like stuttered.
I smiled nodding as I felt myself blushing. "Sure, I'd love to, Brad." I giggled like an idiot.
"Great, um, I'll give you my phone number and we can set this, if you want to, of course." He asked shyly.
"Dude, of course!" I laughed. Seeing him all messed up like this was cute. We exchanged phone numbers, but I had to tell him something before he gets all hooked up.
"But, um," I sighed. "I'm going out of town for a couple of days, but promise, once I get back we sure can go out."
"Sure," He smiled widely, making me smile as well.
"Awesome," I said nodding. What happened today was getting too much for my nerves system, from the stress I had since last night, to Dean in a towel, and him agreeing to take me with him, and now Brad asking me out, it felt like having a heart attack.
I stopped as we reached the busy diner. "We are here." I said turning around giving my back to the diner looking at Brad.
"Yeah, thanks for letting me walk you." He told me, smiling.
"Aw, Brad thanks for walking me." I chuckled, and I had to tiptoe to give him a soft kiss on his always scruffy cheek. "Can't wait to get back." I told him honestly.
"I can't wait for you to get back." Brad told me softly as I stood now right in front of him. I smiled nodding about to walk into the diner, when Brad leaned down and pressed an eager kiss to my lips, while his hand softly cupped my face. I kissed him back, quickly; before he pulled back staring at me. I was still pretty much shocked and he probably saw it all over my face. "I'm sorry if I," Brad was going to apologize but I shook my head cutting him off.
"No, no." I said smiling. "I'm just surprised, in a good way, no need to say sorry." I told him seeing that he sighed in relief.
"Good, better." Brad said. "Okay, I'll head back to the ba…" He stopped himself, too late, and I laughed, his tongue slipped, he lied just to walk me here.
"Have a nice time." I told him. "See ya." I said watching him walk away before I turned around and walked into the diner with a wide smile on my face.
