"Come on," Dani directed to a now shirtless Dean. "Lie down."

"I love coming here," he sighed lying face down on the bed as Dani straddled him.

She began massaging his back, "Got a new bruise back here hun."

He flinched when she pressed on it, "Ow, then don't touch it."

"You're such a baby," she laughed. "I'm just glad I'm not finding a new scar then I'd really give you hell."

"Take any jobs lately?"

"A couple."

"Really?"

"Why is that so surprising?" she asked. "I've been taking jobs since we've gotten together."

"What?" he asked as he rolled over.

"I thought I told you?"

Dean shook his head.

"Well I'm sorry," she said. "Now turn back over."

"Are you having fun at least?" he asked when he did as he was told.

"Of course I am."

"Come with us on a trip then you'd have even more fun," he said. "Plus you can keep me company."

"Yeah right," she scoffed.

"Come on you can come and drop Sarah off with us then we'll find something to do," he urged then felt Dani poke his bruise. "Ow, what the..."

"I'm not sorry for that. Look maybe another time I'll hop in the Impala with you and go somewhere but not now."

"You gonna tell me you have work to do?"

"No I have a business to run," She smiled as he turned over again and grabbed on to her hips.

"Do you enjoy being normal?"

"Please this isn't normal."

"Well it's too normal for me."

"Everything 's too normal for you. Anyway what time are you stopping by the office tomorrow?"

"I don't know probably sometime after three," he shrugged. "It depends on what's going on tomorrow."

"Well whatever you do don't get into trouble."

"I would never," he said in mock horror.

"Uh huh," she said before moving to get off of him but he held on.

"Hey where are you going?"

"Apparently nowhere," she laughed before getting rolled underneath him.

Dani was running around her office getting everything organized after a day's work. Her new assistant had gone home and Dean was set to come at any time. There was a knock on the door.

"Come in," she called and stopped dead when she saw Gabriel standing before her. She came out of the shock and got back to work, "Um...Gabriel what are you doing here?"

"It's been a while Dani," he said moving towards her desk.

It's been too short, she thought to herself but forced herself to give a small smile. "Yeah it has. But...uh Gabe I'm actually—"

"Dani I heard you've doing some good things lately," he interrupted.

"Oh yeah like what?"

"Haven't had any incidents," he said slyly.

Dani took a deep breath to try and calm herself.

"My mother told me you weren't coming to the dinner," he continued. "Why?"

"Because I don't want to Gabriel," she said controlling her ever growing anger. "Now if that's all you want then—"

"Daniella," he said her full name as if she were a child who needed a warning. "I just want to see you."

"But I don't want to see you Gabriel," she shouted. "God you've never been able to get it through your fucking head have you?"

He scoffed.

"Oh yeah that's right you're a big fucking sexist dumbass who can't get over me no matter what I do."

"That's not true," he said.

"I swear to God I would...Dean," she said when she saw him in the doorway.

"Am I interrupting something?" he asked slowly passing the other man to get closer to Dani.

"No you're not," she smiled before kissing him. "Dean you remember Gabriel Nichols."

"Yeah," he said forcing a smile. "D are you ready to go?"

"Just let me give something to Bree first," she said grabbing a file and rushing past Gabriel, leaving the men alone.

"So you two are still together," Gabriel said.

"Yup," Dean answered looking at the other man curiously.

Gabriel laughed.

"What's so funny?"

"I don't know how you handle her," Gabriel shook his head.

"I have an idea but I wouldn't want to give away my secret," Dean smiled.

"Afraid of a little competition," Gabriel smirked.

Dean stepped closer to him, "Nah I'm fine with some competition."

"And why is that?"

Dean put on a big grin, "Cause I always win."

"I don't know what she sees in you. I mean you're beneath her."

"Well whatever it is I'm sure it's not in you princess."

"What's your problem?" Gabriel asked getting on the defensive.

"Now if you want to pick a fight with me, fine," Dean said calmly then he lowered his voice. "But if you go near my girl again, I might just have to hurt ya."

Gabriel scowled before leaving in a huff. Dean then went to Bree's office to find Dani. He found Bree fuming and Dani looking a little scared.

"Dani are you ready to go?" he asked.

"Uh...yeah," she answered standing. "Just let me get my coat."

"Is he still here?" Bree asked darkly.

Dean shook his head as Dani left, "Did you know he was here?"

"If I had I would have kicked his ass," Bree said. "So what happened in there?"

"Nothing," he sighed scratching his head.

"Oh you mean nothing worth telling," she said rolling her eyes.

"Ok I'm ready," Dani said coming back in. "Bree remember about tomorrow."

"How could I forget?" the brunette smiled. "Tell Sam I said welcome back."

"Course," Dani smiled.

"You've been quieter than usual," Dean observed over dinner.

"I'm fine," she smiled.

He scoffed, "I hate when women say that."

"Why?"

"Because it's a lie," he pointed out. "Now tell me the truth."

"You know for a guy you sure do like to talk a lot."

"And there are only two reasons why you get quiet," he said. "You're either tired or pissed. And I know I didn't do anything to piss you off. And don't try and change the subject."

"I don't want to talk about it right now," she responded as she picked at her food.

"Dani—"

"No Winchester," she snapped.

Dean lowered his voice, "Daniella at some point you are going to have to talk to me. It doesn't have to be right now but it has to be soon."

Dani turned away for a second before moving to get up, "I'll be right back."

Dean caught her hand.

"Dean just give me a minute," she said before going off to the bathroom.

He was worried about her. And somehow she always got depressed when Gabriel came around. He couldn't blame her, from the small interaction they had had it wasn't exactly pleasant. Dean heard Dani yelling from outside her office door quite clearly. Plus he remembered her drunken ramblings from the year previous. Once she came back from the bathroom Dani was all smiles and started asking about what happened with Sarah.
