"I missed you… a lot actually. You know, it's a little ridiculous how lonely I've been at the hospital without you. No patients to go to and flirt with…," I giggled.
After Dean had showed up, I had let Sam stay in our guest room and then Dean and I came up to my room and made out for a while before I told him I had to leave and go to work around five in the morning. Dean chuckled as the two of us lay on my bed. My head rested against his chest and he stroked my hair, softly. This felt good. This felt right, here.
"Well I missed you too," Dean replied.
I smiled, looking up at him, "You did?"
"Yeah. No hot interns to flirt with out there on the road," Dean replied.
"Correction: resident," I pointed out, teasingly.
"Oh yeah, I forgot that you're a big hot shot resident now. How're those incompetent interns of yours?" Dean asked.
"They're not completely incompetent but they need some work. The other interns and I are competing for solo surgeries too so that's… you know, fun except not it's stressful as hell," I replied.
"You'll get it," he said.
I shook my head, "Don't say that. Anyways, how was hunting?"
"You don't even want to know," Dean mumbled.
I looked up at him, "But I do. I want to know everything, Dean. I don't care if it's… odd. I want to know everything about you; the good and the bad."
He sighed, "If you knew everything about me I don't think you'd have the same feelings for me that you do now."
"I did agree to go out on a date with you," I pointed out.
"Yeah and it's about time!" Dean exclaimed.
The two of us laughed.
"I think you're the first girl I've actually had to work to get," Dean said.
"Now don't get too full of yourself there, Mr.," I teased.
"You really want to know?" Dean asked.
I nodded, "I really want to know. And no censoring! None of that."
He sighed, "If you really want to know…"
Dean told me everything about him. How he started hunting, the fact that his mother was murdered and his father traded his soul for Dean's life. The fact that he then traded his soul for his brother's life and how he literally went to hell in back. Now I thought I was screwed up! I just lay there, holding him, and listened to what he had to say. It was miraculous what Dean had done and what he was doing for the world. It almost made me feel like being a doctor was petty and noncontributing to society. Dean was the real deal. Later on, I started to drift off to sleep. I was exhausted.
"Jen?" Dean asked.
"Huh?" I asked back, sleepily.
"Shh, never mind. Go to sleep," he said.
"Mkay," I replied, nodding and falling asleep.
When I got up at five, I made sure that I didn't wake Dean when I left the house. All the other interns were downstairs and getting coffee and breakfast and whatnot.
"Hey who was at the door last night?" Bradley asked.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Dang, I'm glad it wasn't a rapist!" Katie said.
I laughed. I glanced out of the corner of my eye to Alex and the cute, blonde now resident he had been sleeping with. What was her name? Heidi, or something? He was pouring coffee but she kissed him. I lowered my voiced, even though Alex wasn't paying any attention to me.
"It was Dean. And by the way, Sam is staying in the guest room. Sam's his brother. Dean showed up last night and we um, we talked some stuff about him and now, well, we're going out tonight actually," I smiled, giddily.
"OH my God!" Katie exclaimed, her eyes widened and a smile crept on his face. "Jen, that's so great! I didn't even know you two were... seeing each other."
"What? Who's seeing what?" Alex asked, turning his attention to our little pow-wow.
"Nothing," I replied. Alex shrugged and took his charts elsewhere. Once Katie new that Alex was gone she said something again.
"Oh my God! You two are- aw that's adorable! And he's not a patient anymore so you can't say no. Oh my God!" she squealed, happily.
"I'm glad it worked out," Bradley said. "It's about damn time. You were always freaking out back at the hospital!"
"I know he's just… amazing," I smiled, biting my lip to try and contain my smile.
"Aww Jennie, I'm happy for you," Katie said.
"Dr. Montgomery, do you have those charts I asked for?" Dr. Stevens asked.
"Yes, sir," I replied, handing him the pile of charts that I had done earlier today. Suddenly, I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist and my eyes widened, alarmed.
"Hey, pretty girl," I heard the person say behind me. I turned around to see Dean. As much as I wanted to kiss him now, I couldn't. I chuckled a bit and then said, "Not now."
"Mr. Winchester?" Dr. Stevens questioned, surprised to see Dean here.
"Yeah, it's all my fault. I seduced her. She tried to tell me to leave her alone but I just wouldn't," Dean said. I had to fight my laughter.
Dr. Stevens eyed Dean and I weirdly, "Well since you're not technically a patient anymore I can't really say anything. I'll uh, see you later, Montgomery." Dr. Stevens seemed a little weirded out by the idea of Dean and I but I didn't care. Once he had left, Dean and I both burst into laughter.
"You are a piece of work, you know that?" I asked, giggling. Dean wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped mine around his neck. He leaned in, kissing me sweetly.
"You left me this morning," he pointed out.
"I didn't want to wake you. It was five in the morning," I replied, innocently.
"Fair enough. So are you ready for our date tonight?" Dean asked.
"Mhm. Although you insist on keeping whatever our date is a surprise," I replied.
"What's wrong with that?" Dean asked.
"I don't like surprises. Surprises are usually bad and cheesy or just… horrific and traumatic," I replied.
"Wow, I don't even want to know what surprised you've been through. But not this one," Dean said, smirking.
"Oh yeah? Well I'll just have to wait, huh?" I asked, coyly.
"Yeah. I should stop distracting you so I'm going to leave. I'll pick you up here tonight," Dean replied.
"Okay," I said back, contently. We were in that new couple phase where I just wanted to smile at everything he said and kiss him all the time. I wasn't quite sure I'd ever get sick of Dean and for once, I was happy. I was just getting by each day, but savoring the moments. I kissed Dean once more and then he was off.
During lunch, I ran home and got make up and some dresses that I was thinking about wearing tonight with Dean. I couldn't decide so I just decided to bring a few and ask for some advice from Katie and Bradley. Now, we all sat in the residents' locker room, trying to decide on something for me to wear. Katie was really good with clothes and everything and had great taste and Bradley could care less but we needed a guys' opinion too.
"Okay what about the blue one?" I asked, trying my first dress. It was a navy blue, one shouldered, ruched dress. It fit well and I liked it, but I wasn't quite sure it was appropriate for tonight. It was pretty, but I wanted to try on the rest before I decided on something. I needed the perfect dress. I never usually got like this but there was something about Dean...
"The blue one is good," Bradley shrugged. He could care less about clothing. "You look great in everything, Jen."
"Bradley, you're not helping," I groaned.
"What, you look fine!" he defended.
"I know, but I don't want to look just fine," I replied.
"Don't listen to him, sweetie. Try on the red one. You look great in red!" Katie encouraged. I picked up my red dress and then put it on. It was a red dress with an empire waist and sweetheart neckline. "What do you think?"
"I don't know. I guess I'm going for something a little sexier," I said back, examining my reflection in the mirror.
"Jen, you said you wanted a guys' point of view. Can I be honest?" Bradley asked. I nodded. "He's a guy. No matter what you wear, he's going to want to rip your clothes off either way. I'm not quite sure it'll matter what you wear."
"I know, I know, I just, I guess part of it's for me... we spent the last couple of months in scrubs and hospital gowns not being able to do anything and I just want this to be perfect," I sighed.
"How about this one?" Katie asked, picking up another dress. She threw it at me and I instantly stripped off the red dress I was wearing. I pulled the dress up and the zipped it. Not only did it fit perfectly but it just felt right. I smiled.
"Wow, Jen, I think that's the dress," Bradley said.
"You look hot!" Katie exclaimed.
"Thank you. Um, yeah, I think this is the dress," I smiled, satisfied.
"Ooh, can I curl your hair? Dean won't be able to keep his hands off of you tonight," Katie asked, chuckling a little.
"Alright, I'm going to go get a cup of coffee. Does anybody want anything?" Bradley asked, excusing himself from the conversation.
"Nope, I'm fine," I replied.
"Nope, thanks though baby," Katie replied. Bradley nodded before leaving the residents' locker room. I put on some make up while Katie did my hair.
"So you excited for your date tonight?" Katie asked.
It was nice to have girl talk time. My best friend was a guy and we were never able to talk about the same things that girls would be able to talk about. Katie, Bradley, and I were assigned to the same resident and Bradley and I had been friends since middle school, but when Katie and Bradley started dating, I started to get to know her.
"Yeah, I really am," I smiled.
"Aw, you guys are sweet. It's nice to see you all girly and happy about him. I don't think I've actually seen you this happy... ever," Katie started.
"Yeah, things have been complicated and well, how happy can a hospital really make you? But Dean..." I trailed off.
"Seems to be really good for you," Katie completed.
I nodded, "Yeah, he really does. I just hope that things stay the same. He travels a lot and we have an insane work schedule. I just don't want things to get in the way, you know?"
"Well, I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself. The guy obviously likes you," Katie answered.
I smiled, "Thanks."
"Alright, tip your head upside down," Katie said. I did so and she sprayed my hair a little with some hair spray. "Okay." I flipped my hair back and the parted it to the right. Katie fluffed my hair a little and I was left with sexy curls. It completed the champagne and black mesh overlay dress. Katie smiled, triumphantly.
"Wow, I think I'm ready," I said, staring at my reflection.
"Go get 'em tiger," Katie said. I got up and slipped my black heels on.
"Thank you so much, Katie," I said back.
"No problem," she smiled. "Alright, well I'm going to find Bradley in the cafeteria. I'll see you tomorrow and have a great date!
"Thanks, Katie," I replied, before going down to the lobby to meet Dean.
