Jo woke up the next morning with Dean's arm still wrapped around her. She just laid there, soaking up the feel of his arm around her, his body against hers. She felt so safe and she didn't want the feeling to go away, but she knew it had too. She gently ran her finger up and down his hand and like on instint his hand grabbed hers. She smiled to herself and brought his hand up to her lips and pressed a light kiss to it. She sighed, then gently moved his arm off of her and made her way to the bathroom. She came back out after her shower to find Dean still asleep. He looked so peaceful, so happy. She hated to wake him from whatever dream he was having, bring him back to this world. She gently shook his shoulder "Dean, Dean wake up" Dean stirred and smiled "Am I in heaven? Because I think I am looking at an angel" Jo laughed and hit his arm "even half asleep you try the lines. I'm no angel. Up and at em Casanova" Deam smiled and sat up in bed "Your my angel" he said sweetly. Jo smiled back at him "That's Cas" she said jokingly. Dean thru a pillow at her as he laughed. "So what were you dreaming about? You had a big smile on your face and just looked so peaceful" Jo asked. "I was in heaven. I guess I had died and Cas took me up there. I entered and there was my Mom and Dad, Bobby, your mom. Everybody that I loved. One by one I hugged them. As I made my way thru them all, I saw you, standing behind them all" Dean looked down at his hands "What else happened?" Jo asked. "Nothing, I woke up" Dean said, not wanting to tell her that in the dream she kissed him and told him how much she loved and missed him. "Well it sounds like a nice dream, seeing all the people that you care about and lost" Jo said as she sat down on the bed beside of him. "Jo, if I have not said so before, I am so happy to have you back" Dean said taking her hand. "I am happy to be back here with you Dean" Jo said with a shy smile. Dean leaned forward, taking her face in his hands. As he leaned in, a knock came on the door "Son of a bitch!" Dean said as he dropped his hands in frustration. All Jo could do was laugh as Dean opened the door to find the same people that stopped them yesterday. "Cas, normally your timing is perfect, so I am blaming this on you Meg" Dean said with a glare at her. "Oh Dean, get your jollies another time. We have an issue" Meg said sarcastically. "what's the issue?" Jo asked from behind Dean. "Another guy was taken last night" Cas said. "How, we got rid of all of the ghosts" Dean asked. "It must be something else also taking people. Somebody that was using the ghosts as a screen for what he or she is doing" Meg said as they made their way into the room and Dean shut the door. "Damn, and just when I thought we would be able to get out of this fufu nightmare." Dean said angrily. "Oh you know you have a secret yearning to own a bed and breakfast one day Dean. Maybe call it The Cheshire Cat or something like that since we all know how much you love cats" Meg said with a smile. Jo laughed under her breath as Dean glared at Meg. "Ok, I think we should split up. Jo and I should go talk to the bartender, see if he knows anything while you two go and see what you can find out from the guys room" "I am not sure about this plan" Dean said "And why not? I can handle myself" Jo said, glaring at Dean. "I know you can, I just don't like the idea of you...oh nevermind" Dean said as Jo smiled at him. "Great! Meg let's get ready and I will meet you in the hall in 20 minutes. You two, you go and check out his room" Meg walked over to Cas "Be careful" she said quietly. He nodded "you too" and she walked out of the room to their room. Dean shoved his hands in his pockets and looked at the floor "Um, you be careful. Try not to flirt too much" he said rather shyly, which surprised Jo. She smiled "You be careful too" he smiled at her and walked toward the now open door "watch over him Cas" Jo said rather sternly. Cas nodded and walked out of the room. Dean looked back at Jo, smiled and then followed Cas down the hall. Jo shut the door and went to her bag of clothes. Dean didn't know, but she and Meg had bought a few items just in case they needed to "entice" the opposite sex.
********************************
Jo changed her clothes, putting on a very short jean skirt, a black, low cut tank top and her black biker boots. She took one last glance in the mirror and left the room to find Meg. When she saw Meg in the hallway she smiled, Meg smiled back at her "you know, if I decided to experiment, you in that outfit would be it. Don't let Charlie see you in it" Jo laughed "Right back at you girl" Meg had on very tight black jeans, a black tank top, her black leather jacket and black heeled boots. When the bartender saw them walk in, he got a huge smile on his face "oh this is too easy" Meg said with a smirk. Jo and Meg walked up to the bar and sat down in two empty stools "So what will it be ladies? And may I say, you both are looking so beautiful" "Why thank you kind sir" Jo said sweetly. After they ordered their drinks and he left to make them Meg looked at Jo "So sorry for interrupting you and Dean twice. Looks like you two were in the middle of something" Meg said contritely. Jo smiled "it is ok, we are slowly getting there, which is the story of our lives. So what about you and Cas?" Meg smiled "I'm not really sure. He did kiss me last night and not when he was possessed either. It's so not supposed to happen, a demon and an angel, so I don't know what if anything is even possible" Jo nodded as the bartender came back "showtime" Jo said softly "So, you seem to be a person in the know. All suave and cute...Chad" Meg started, looking at his badge for his name "Oh I am in the know. What do you little ladies need to know?" he said, with just a tad of sleeze in his voice. Jo hid her distaste for him "we were wondering if you knew what happened last night" Jo said as she leaned over the bar to get a napkin, really just to give him a glimpse of her body. He looked her up and down and licked his lips as Jo sat back down "you mean the guy being taken from room 101? It's so crazy. I heard, that he was into the occult" Meg looked shocked "occult? You mean like witches and demons" she said so timid that Jo almost lost her focus and busted out laughing. "No need to be scared lovely lady. You need any kind of protection, I am here to help you both out" he said as he leaned over the bar. Jo rolled her eyes behind him, which made Meg smile. "Oh we really could use a big, strong man like you around" she said as she leaned over beside of him to grab a straw. He put his hand on her arm, rubbing it up and down. Before Meg had a chance to say anything, they both heard "you get your hands off of her" and they turned to see Cas, his eyes flashing an electric blue. Chad took his hand off of Meg and backed up. "Who the hell are you to her?" Chad asked "I'm her guyfriend" Cas stated angrily. Dean chuckled and Meg looked at him "guyfriend?" Meg said "Is that what you are" Cas nodded "I'm a guy, and I'm your friend" Chad turned from Meg to Jo "Well what about you beautiful? You want to spend some time with the Chad?" Jo started laughing until she felt a strong arm on her shoulder "She wants nothing from you Chad" Dean said furiously. "Well who the hell are you to her?" Chad asked. Jo raised her eyebrow and folded her arms at him as she stood up "Yeah, what are you too me?" Dean fumbled for the words "Oh come on Jo" Dean said sheepishly. "No, oh come on Jo. You two, come with us" she demanded as she walked off toward the patio. As she walked off, Dean got a good look at what she was wearing "what are you wearing?" Dean demanded. Jo bit her lip until she and Meg got them outside and shut the door. Then she turned to them "Now you listen to me Dean Winchester! Meg and I had that handled, we do not need you two coming in there acting like jealous jerks. If neither of you are going to step up and actually admit what you are to us, then neither of us need to answer to you. And for your question as to what I am wearing, this is a jean skirt, this is a tank top and these are my boots and none of them are your concern. I am grown Dean and Meg and I can handle ourselves" Jo swung herself around and stomped off. Meg smiled at her walking away and then shrugged at the boys "your girl is a firecracker Dean. And she is totally correct" and she turned and followed Jo down the hallway.

"I cannot believe him!" Jo said as they walked down the hallway "I can. You know I am not Dean's biggest fan, but he would not be Dean if he is not protective of the ones he loves" Meg said. Jo nodded "your right. Do you think I over reacted?" Meg shook her head "oh hell no. We had that handled" "Well look it's good and evil" said a voice from behind them. Both Jo and Meg froze as the recollection of that voice over took them. They both turned to see Crowley standing there "Hello Ladies. Wonder if you can handle this" he said with a smile as Meg moved Jo behind her.
