Chapter 10
I hadn't seen Charlie since she passed through California a year or two ago, we'd all grabbed a beer and sat around one of the tables in the library to talk. "So how exactly do you two know each other?" Sam asked to either me or Charlie, I decided to jump in before Charlie could open her mouth.
"We met when she passed through Cali, I met her at Comicon" I smiled at the memory, and Charlie started laughing "I may have accidentally spilled coffee all over her" That caused Dean to burst out laughing, Charlie smacked him across the head.
"It wasn't funny! She ruined my costume!" She exclaimed glaring at Dean for laughing, Sam was trying to suppress a giggle, I could tell by just looking at his face.
"Anyway, after that we got talking, and we ended up sticking together throughout the whole convention, after I replaced her costume that is" I took a sip of my beer before Charlie took over the story.
"I invited her out to dinner and drinks once the convention was over, I was surprised as hell when she accepted my offer, I mean, have you seen her?!" She raised her hands towards me and I just rolled my eyes, Deans eyes widened slightly I smirked at the look on his face, he certainly didn't expect this.
"But yeah, one drink led to another, and a couple of hours later we ended up back at Paige's, I said I'd only stay for a couple of nights-"
"And you ended up with me for how long was it, 4 months?" I started laughing "Well, not that you were complaining" Charlie winked at me as she said this and I went slightly red, why do I get the feeling Dean was going to have a field day with this.
"Wait, you two were...Together?" Sam looked shell shocked, and well Dean, he was still sitting wide eyed with his mouth pretty much agape. "Not officially" I answered him "More like friends with benefits" Charlie butted in.
"Don't be subtle about it Charlie" I just laughed as I said that.
"Anyway, back to our story" I took a sip of beer again before continuing "After she'd been staying with me around a week she stumbled across my weapons and stuff, I had no idea how I was going to explain that one" I shook my head smiling to myself "Then I discovered she done a little bit of hunting here and there, other than that everything was pretty ordinary for us" I looked at Dean again, he still hadn't said anything "Dean, you okay?" I leaned over to wave my hand in front of his face "Earth to Dean?!"
"What?...Yeah yeah I'm fine" He started laughing hysterically, the rest of us just started at him "Dude, what's so funny?" I asked
"Just the fact me and Charlie have to compare notes!" I went bright red at this point and just hid my face in my hands while Sam burst out laughing "Whoa, what?! You and Paige?!" I heard Charlie ask. Just as she was about to say something again I piped in "Right, no more talking on this subject! No 'comparing notes', nothing!" I pretty much shouted "Spoilt sport" Dean muttered "I heard that Winchester!" I pointed my finger, glaring at him he just flashed me a smile before starting to laugh again.
A few more hours had passed and we told Charlie everything that had happened, how I'd ended up with the Winchesters again and they told me how they'd all met, and now I think I'm ready for bed, I could barely keep my eyes open.
"Guys, sorry to be a party pooper, but I'm gonna call it a night" I stood up stretching my arms above my head "See you in the morning" I called over my shoulder once I started walking towards my room. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out like a light.
I awoke once I heard the door to my room creak open, my hand subconsciously gripped the gun I'd kept under my pillow. I heard footsteps towards me, then I heard a crash "fuck" I heard the intruder curse, I opened my eyes slightly and released the grip on my gun recognising the voice as Dean.
"Dean?" I noticed he was carrying a tray "What are you doing?" I asked sitting up so I could lean against the headboard. "I was trying to bring you breakfast in bed, but I may have dropped the orange juice" He placed the tray on my lap to reveal he'd made pancakes.
"You didn't have to make me breakfast you know?" I grabbed my fork and started to dig in.
"I know I didn't have to" He smiled and sat on the bed beside me after he'd finished cleaning up where he'd dropped the glass. "Anyway, when you're finished we should go say bye to Charlie, she's leaving, said there's some emergency she needs to tend to"
"Oh, okay" I continued eating, with Dean stealing bits now and again. Once I'd finished Dean took the tray and started to head towards the door, once he was out the room I jumped up and went over to the drawers to pull out a pair of shorts before following him out to find him, Sam and Charlie already in the living area.
"Leaving so soon?" I pouted at Charlie
"Sorry, little emergency to take care off" She stood up to give me a hug before saying her goodbyes to the boys and heading up the stairs towards the exit "Peace out Bitches" She said as she walked out the door causing us three to laugh.
I turned towards the boys "What's the plans for today then?" I started towards to kitchen to grab a rockstar.
"I was just going to see if I could find us a case" Sam answered following me
"And while he's doing that I'm going to chill and stick a movie on" Dean chimed in "Fancy joining?" He added flashing me a smile.
"Actually, I think I'll join Sam" I smiled in his direction, Sam looked slightly taken aback "That's if it's okay with you?"
"Erm, yeah, it'd be nice to have the company" Sam turned to start walking towards the library with me close behind him.
"You're both boring!" Dean shouted after us, I just shook my head at that.
Hours passed pretty quickly, we'd been chatting in between researching which made them pass a little quicker, Sam hadn't moved from in front of his laptop for about an hour and well now, I was getting bored, and fidgety. I'd attempted to do some research on lore and now with the leftover pieces of paper I was making a paper aeroplane.
"Throw that at me and I swear I'll kill you" I snapped my head up at the sound of Sam's voice, noticing he was now looking towards me
"Don't worry, I won't" I smiled innocently before sitting back in my chair "God, how do you do this every day, I'm so bored"
"I actually enjoy doing it" Sam laughed at me since I was now pulling stupid faces trying to entertain myself "Why don't you go and find Dean" He reached over to pull the book I'd been reading earlier towards himself.
"You don't mind?" I smiled at him "Or are you trying to get rid of me?" I laughed slightly standing up.
"Go, seriously I don't know how much longer I'm going to be here, everything seems pretty quiet at the minute" He looked back down at his laptop screen and started typing, I took that as my cue to leave. I walked back through the bunker hoping to find Dean, I turned the corner into the living area to find it empty, so I kept walking checking the kitchen and then the garage, Dean was no where to be found so I started to head towards my room.
Walking down past the bedrooms I heard music, well more like a guitar. I stopped outside Deans door, that's where it was coming from, I recognised the tune as smells like teen spirit straight away, wait is he singing?! I stepped as close to the door as I could and pressed my ear against it to listen. Damn, he's actually really good, I chanced opening his door slightly popping my head in slightly, he was too caught up to realise I was even there, he was sat on the bed with his back to the door, I slipped in and as quietly as I could shut the door behind me. As soon as the door clicked shut I heard him stop, I quickly turned to face him, was he embarressed?
"Don't stop on my account" I smiled at him walking over towards the bed
"How long have you been listening?" He looked up at me as I sat down beside him
"Long enough, I had no idea you could play, let alone sing" I reached over for the guitar "Do you mind?" I asked looking at him
"You play?" He handed the guitar over, I took it setting it on my lap aimlessly strumming a few chords
"I haven't in a while, I can still remember a few songs" I started strumming the start to Paramore's CrushCrushCrush
"Well I think it's only fair I get to hear you since you've heard me" He smirked at me I just shook my head and started to sing
I got a lot to say to you
Yeah I got a lot to say
I noticed your eyes are always glued to me
Keeping them here and it makes no sense at all
As I finished the first verse I closed my eyes and just kept going, once I got to the bridge I opened my eyes smiling up at Dean noticing he was singing along, I never pegged him as a Paramore fan.
Rock and roll baby, don't you know that
We're all alone now, I need something to sing about
Rock and roll honey, (Hey) don't you know baby
We're all alone now, I need something to sing about
Rock and roll honey, (Hey) don't you know baby
We're all alone now, give me something to sing about
"Not bad" He smiled at me, I couldn't help but let my gaze linger longer that I should on his emerald green eyes, tearing my gaze away I mumbled a thanks and handed him his guitar back. he stood up to place it back on it's stand.
"I'd never pegged you as a Paramore fan" I laughed as I said that, the thought of him listening to them made me laugh, I could just imagine him rocking out in the impala alone to misery business.
"They're a guilty pleasure, just don't tell Sam" His gaze was focused on me again, I felt a blush creep onto my cheeks
"You're secrets safe with me" I looked up at him noticing how close we actually were, my gaze wandered to his lips then back to fix on his eyes, my breathing got considerably faster. Just as our lips where millimetres apart Sam knocked on the door, we instantly jumped apart as he walked in, he stopped dead in his tracks.
"Am I interrupting anything, because I can just, you know what... it's not that important anyway" He quickly stepped back out the door and just as he was about the close it me and Dean simultaneously shouting his name,
"You weren't interrupting anything" I finished just before looking back at Dean.
"What'd you want to tell us anyway?" Dean asked standing up
"I was just looking for you two to see if you wanted to come into town?" Sam's gaze dropped to the floor, Dean looked pretty agitated and well me, all I could think was perfect fucking timing Sam!
