THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE WORST
Dean realized the minute that he heard Arandi yell his name that she thought that he had been hit. His body had jerked when he had thrown the knife he had hidden in his boot. The knife that now stuck out of the man's throat. Thankfully the man was a lousy shot but Dean didn't miss.
"I'm not hit Arandi." Dean assured her and he felt the tension leave her body. He still stood protective against her waiting to see what the other man would do. He stared at his dead partner in shock and then turned to run. Dean bolted after him knocking him out with one hit. Dean retrieved his knife from the other man. He looked up sure that someone had to have heard the gunfire. He went back to Arandi and the boys. She threw her arms around him so relieved that he wasn't shot.
Dean hugged her hard. "Come on we got to get the hell out of here." He let her go and kneeled down in front of the boys, Ricky standing protective in front of his little brother.
"You are one brave dude Ricky." Dean offered gently knowing what the boys had just witnessed would probably produce nightmares but Dean was sure that where they had been heading was much worse. "You think you can get your brother to safety without us?"
"Our mom she needs help now what if they don't believe us?' Ricky asked worriedly.
"Where's your mom?" Dean asked as he glanced at Arandi.
"They tied her up and stuck her in a trunk. She can run out of air right I saw that on a show once." Ricky asked as he fought the tears threatening on the edge of his eyes. His little brother trembled beside him. "It's ok Johnny they saved us." Ricky suddenly brave again.
Dean knew that they had to find the boys mom. Ricky was right she might not have much air left if she was in a trunk. She might not have the time to wait for help to arrive. "Do you know where your mom is Ricky?"
"She's in the house of mirrors."
Sure enough people started to check about the gun shots so Dean and Arandi told them that the men had been arguing to buy them some time while they found the boys' mother. They quickly headed back into the carnival and towards the house of mirrors trying hard to look normal.
Dean's phone going off nearly made him stumble. "Sam where are you? Good get to the hotel and pack up we got to get out of town we'll meet you at the wedding ring store. We'll tell you everything later." Dean looked at Arandi. "Sam and Jade were waiting for us further up the beach. They got out and when they heard the gun shots they figured it had something to do with us since it happened right when we were supposed to meet."
It took a few minutes but they found the trunk hidden behind a thick mirror. A lock had been put on it and Dean picked it expertly. The woman was sweating profusely but was still conscious. She looked terrified. Seeing her boys she started to sob before Dean could get the gag out of her mouth. Once she was free she grabbed her sons in a bear hug.
"They saved us mom." Johnny chimed.
Dean looked around nervously. They really needed to get out of here.
"Where are those men?" The woman asked.
"They won't bother you again." Arandi responded.
Sirens sounded nearby, Dean grabbed Arandi's hand ready to bolt. He stopped in stunned silence as both boys hugged his legs.
"Thank you." They said together.
"Um it's my job." Dean murmured hugging them back.
"Are you superheroes?" Johnny asked.
Dean glanced at the mom who was smiling at him. He got down to their height. "Yeah we're superheroes and we really need for you guys to keep our identities secret."
Ricky and Johnny nodded wide eyed.
Dean gave the woman the same pleading look. She nodded.
"Who are you?" Johnny asked in a low whisper.
"He's batman. Can't you tell by his voice?" Ricky answered. "She's wonder woman."
Dean exchanged a smile with Arandi. "We really have to go guys."
The boys gave Dean another quick hug and then Arandi. "You're secret is safe with us." The woman offered. "Thank you."
They walked out of the house of mirrors together. Police lights flashed from all entrances and exits. They had to get out somehow. Dean grabbed Arandi's hand and with one more wave to the boys they ran. Dean saw it then close to a tent a mini trampoline. Arandi saw it at the same time and they ran for it Arandi hit it first flipping over the fence gracefully. Ricky and Johnny seeing her look as if she were flying stood agape. Dean followed. He jumped into the air winked at the boys and was over the fence landing in a roll. They ran needing to find wheels they scanned all the cars in the parking lot. They needed something small and fast.
The black and silver motorcycle gleamed under the lights. Dean smiled. In seconds he had the motorcycle wired. Revving it up Dean waited for Arandi to hug him tight before he spun out toward the main entrance. Police cars blocked the way. Dean sped up and in a whir of speed he made it between two police cars. Unable to resist he popped onto one tire and then sped into the night.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The chase began and Dean wondered how in the hell they could get to the jewelry store and be able to get to the SUV without being followed. Dean made turns at break neck speed, ran a couple of red lights and zoomed from street to street.
Just blocks from the jewelry store Dean got an idea. He sped by a building and seeing what he needed he motioned for Arandi to look. Dean busted a u turn and headed back the way he had just come hearing the sirens close. He busted another u turn and sped toward the building. He felt Arandi's grip tighten on him, he reached up gripping the bottom rung of the fire escape of the building and pulled up, Arandi grabbed on at the same moment letting the motorcycle go on its own until it crashed into a store window at the end of the street.
Dean and Arandi clambered up the steps in a hurry just as police cars came tearing around the turns from two directions. They had a few minutes head start. The police would be looking for bodies for at least that long. The store alarm along with the sirens filled the air with deafening noise. On the roof of the building Dean and Arandi ran across roof after roof until they came to the jewelry store. They jumped on to the roof and then to the ground scaring the daylights out of their siblings who had been pacing nervously.
Without a word they all jumped in the SUV and left Waverly Beach behind.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
No one dared to breathe until they were miles from town. Dean and Arandi sat in the backseat looking out the windows. They had told their siblings what happened and Sam couldn't help but being frustrated that they couldn't even enjoy a simple carnival without impending doom.
Dean couldn't get the boys out of his head wondering what they were doing at this very moment. He looked at Arandi who was in deep thought. He held her hand tightly. They had saved these boys from something bad yet the thrill that they should be feeling right now wasn't there. The one man that Dean had knocked out could still make life hard for them.
Arandi laid her head against Dean's chest and he put his cheek against the top of her head.
They entered Illinois before they finally stopped to find a motel. They were all exhausted and turned in to separate rooms. Dean sat on the edge of the bed staring at his hands. Arandi bustled around unpacking. He stood up and went to her and pulled her into a hug.
"I'm sorry.' He whispered. In his mind he thought. 'Sorry I can't make this better, sorry that you have to be sad, sorry our lives suck out loud.'
"You can't take the blame for everything Dean stop doing that it hurts me to see you do that to yourself." Arandi rushed and thought. 'I'm sorry too sorry that I can't make this better, sorry that I don't know what to say, sorry that our lives are constantly up shit creek without a paddle and sometimes even without the damn canoe.
"I'm going to shower." Dean mumbled and headed to the bathroom leaving Arandi standing alone. She continued to keep busy and finally she couldn't take it and headed outside to get some air leaving the door open. She leaned back against the wall by the door. She thinks about Ricky and Johnny wondering what they are doing now. Wondering just how much of their innocence they lost tonight.
Arandi is surprised when her sister opens the door to her room and steps outside.
"I knew you'd be out here." Jade sighed. "Is there something wrong I mean you and Dean saved those boys but you are both acting as if you failed?"
"It's just you know they were so young and what almost happened to them it's worse than facing a black dog."
"Arandi I know how much you want kids." Jade leaned next to her sister.
Arandi stared into the night sky.
"I don't have to guess that you and Dean have how should I say this gotten to know each other better."
Arandi chuckled lightly. "Nice way of putting it."
"Thanks for letting me figure it out for myself."
"I was sort of preoccupied."
"Well?"
"Well what?" Arandi felt the heat in her cheeks.
"Arandi your first time ever was with Dean Winchester spill now!" Jade said in frustration.
Arandi laughed. "Waiting was well worth the wait times infinity."
Jade grinned. "So he's your boy toy now?'
"Really Jade?"
Jade got serious. "If the way he looks at you is any indication of how he feels about you, you are doing super."
Arandi looked at her sister. "How does he look at me?"
Jade smiled. "Like he's the luckiest man in the world because you are his finally."
"Oh you mean the way Sam looks at you?'
Jade laughed. "I never noticed, maybe it's because it's pretty new still but Dean has fallen and he fallen hard Arandi it's in his eyes, in his smile, in everything he says to you."
"I love him too." Arandi whispered. "I just am not ready to say it to him and he's not ready to say it to me no matter how much it shows. On that beach we left behind Dean took more than just my virginity."
"It took Sam and me a while to say it out loud."
"Jade have you and Sam talked about having kids?" Arandi asked clear out of left field.
"We have discussed it but want to wait a couple of years before we actually make that decision."
"Good at least I'll have a niece or nephew to spoil."
Sam opened the door. "Is everything ok?"
"Just a little sister talk." Jade answered. "I'm coming."
"Good night sis." Arandi said as she yawned. Jade hugged her hard.
"Let yourself be happy."
"Easier said than done."
Jade headed to Sam and Arandi stared into the night.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Dean leaned against the wall as he let the warm water fall over him. They had saved a family tonight yet he felt such sadness. He could deny it but he knew it was those boys feeling them hug him had made that part of him that wanted to be a father so much burn.
He felt the tears sting his eyes and it surprised him, what the hell Dean? He had Arandi now and had to be patient. Once their relationship was further along those damn pills were gone. The realization of what he had just thought made him wonder if he was really losing his mind.
Dean finished up his shower man he needed a drink. He stepped out of the bathroom in just a towel. The room was empty but the door was open. He looked outside and Arandi was leaning against the wall.
"The showers free." Dean told her.
Arandi turned back into the room. Dean rummaged for his bottle of whiskey in his duffel and took a long drink. He waited for Arandi to come out of the bathroom. He needed a distraction and he knew the best kind. He barely let her step into the room before he pulled her into his arms and started to kiss her pulling the towel off of her. He yanked his off as she hungrily responded.
They made love with a rough urgency that brought them both the distraction they needed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Dean is standing in a very well kept yard; he has no idea where he is at. There is a beautiful two story house in front of him. He looks around confused. He's in someone's backyard.
The patio door of the house opens and two little boys come running out heading towards him. "Daddy!" they call to him as they launch themselves into his arms. He heart swells at the contact, these are his boys. He embraces them and feels their warmth, their love.
"I told you guys I need like a hundred of these every day." Dean hears himself say. "And what else?"
"We love you daddy!" His sons tell him. He can tell that they are twins but not identical both of them have raven hair. One has incredible blue eyes and the other the same intensity of green.
"Where's Uncle Sam?"
Dean's looks up and sees Arandi leaning at the door entrance watching the scene with a content smile. He smiles at her. She has never looked so beautiful, the mother of his children and he loves her more than he thinks is possible to love her.
Sam and Jade walk out the patio door and now Dean's boys squeal in delight at the sight of their uncle.
"Uncle Sam!" They run to him, hugging him and Sam smiles complete love shining through his eyes.
Dean watches in utter contentment that everything he has ever wanted is right here in front of him. A family of his very own, his brother and women that love them without condition.
Dean doesn't think anything could get better. Then a beautiful little girl comes from behind Sam. She runs towards him.
"Uncle Dean!" She squeals as he lifts her in the air and spins her around.
"Samantha look at you, you are almost in college." He feels the love of his niece. He looks towards Arandi again but her attention as well as everyone else is looking off to the side in the sky. Dean looks. Dark clouds are quickly rolling towards them.
"You can never be happy Dean." A voice calls out. And it begins to rain.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Dean startled awake, breathing hard. He could still see the dream so vivid in his mind. Somehow it makes him feel better. He feels something else that a Winchester hardly ever feels, faith.
He feels Arandi and they are nearly completely wrapped in each other. He smiled loving to wake up to her like this, he's not alone and neither is she. He feels her stir and she looks at him dreamily.
"Something wrong?" she asks in concern.
"No just making sure that you're still here." He says softly.
"I'm not going anywhere." She says. She turns on her back and Dean doesn't miss the wince.
"Sorry that I'm not giving you a chance to get over that soreness."
"I haven't exactly said no either." She defended.
"That's because you can't refuse this solid hunk of hotness before you." He snickered.
Arandi looked at him with an amused look and a raised eyebrow. "If I recall correctly you attacked me just a while ago."
"Well you're hot too." He kissed her. "Damn you're better than pancakes."
"What about warm pancake syrup?" She asked sighing as he began to kiss her neck.
"You are my warm pancake syrup." He breathed hotly into her ear. He got up from the bed slipping on his pajama bottoms. "I am going to help you with that soreness." He grabbed an ice bucket and walked out of the room. He returned with some ice and then went to the bathroom grabbed a couple of large towels and a couple of wash cloths. Dean lifted Arandi and worked the towels under her. With a wicked smile he worked his magic on her body. Twenty minutes and a multi orgasm later Arandi found out exactly what Dean Winchester could do with a wash cloth and ice.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Arandi woke up needing to go to the bathroom. She managed to pull from Dean's grip and he moaned lightly in his sleep. He was on his back barely covered with a sheet. The glow of the motel lights falling between the curtains falling on his body, Arandi looked him over. His head lay to the side with a slight pout to his full lips. He looked so young when he allowed himself to relax. He had one hand lying over his belly and the other seemed to be reaching for her.
Arandi ran her fingers gently over his stomach muscles. Dean moved with a sigh. His eyes fluttered to half- mast as he looked at her his lips curled.
"Don't hurt me." He whispered.
Arandi felt a shudder go through her at the way he said it. She wanted to satisfy him.
"Please." He added so hotly.
Arandi leaned to kiss the same muscles that she had been touching. Dean sucked in his breath in a soft hiss as his hands fisted into the sheets. Arandi got up from the bed and came back with a couple of wash cloths she had heated up with hot water. While she waited for the cloths to get warm she kissed Dean's body until he was fully erect and alert. Twenty minutes and a back arching screaming orgasm later, Dean found out just what Arandi Remington could do with a wash cloth and warm water.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next time Dean woke up the sun was already making its appearance through the curtains. He looked at Arandi who was lying on her stomach, still completely naked. He rolled on his side and ran his fingers over the back of her thighs and felt the shudder go through her body.
"I just can't get enough of you." He whispered to her as he kissed her back and lifted himself behind her. He wanted to jockey her, a position that he loved but hardly ever got to use. He straddled her closed legs.
Arandi moved.
"Sorry but you lying there is like a buffet in front of a starving man." Dean breathed.
"Well far be it from me to let you starve." Arandi responded.
Dean moved forward pushing himself into her and groaned at the fantastic feeling. Her already tight warmth tighter with her legs closed. The only bad thing about this position was that she really couldn't work with him but he still enjoyed himself. He moved in and out of her, running his hands over her back until he leaned completely over her.
Arandi found this position a bit frustrating since she really couldn't do anything but damn if it didn't feel fantastic even to her. Dean brought them both to intense climaxes.
Arandi quickly slipped back into sleep but Dean found himself wide awake. He decided to get up and go find some coffee. He freshened up and dressed quietly. Stepping out of the room he was surprised to find Sam sitting on the curb with two cups of coffee.
"Hey Sammy, what's up?" Dean sat beside him.
"I just figured that you wouldn't sleep too late today." Sam offered him a cup, giving Dean the 'as if I don't know you by now' look.
Dean took the coffee and wondered if he really was all that predictable.
Sam grinned at him. "Thin motel walls bro."
Dean felt his cheeks burn.
"What the hell was she doing to you? I almost thought you were being tortured." Sam egged.
"Shut up Sam." Dean grumbled but he grinned. "If that's torture chain me to the wall."
"You know I'm kind of hurt that you didn't let me in on this getting to know Arandi better." Sam smiled.
"Getting to know her has been quiet distracting. You know like when you and Jade clicked."
"I still ran to you like a high school gossip queen Dean." Sam laughed hitting his brother with his shoulder.
Dean laughed. "That's true. Sorry Sammy buy you know me I ….well …." He ran his fingers through his hair.
"Waiting for it to go bad." Sam offered.
"Yeah something like that." Dean sighed. "I didn't realize how I really felt about her until I said something that made her walk out the door. Man Sammy I can't even explain the terror that filled me that she wasn't coming back that I blew my only chance to make her mine."
"Is safe to bet that you made her yours?"
A smile that Sam wished that he could see more often filled Dean's face, made his green eyes sparkle. "Yeah on that beach we left behind Arandi Remington took me heart and soul."
Sam stared at his brother afraid to say anything or even move. It wasn't often Dean opened up completely. "I'm so glad Dean because you haven't exactly been Romeo since Lisa."
"Don't even mention her anymore she was a mere stumbling block, it's very hard to be Romeo until Juliet comes around."
"Have you found your Juliet?'
"One fairer than my love, the all-seeing sun has ne'er saw her match since first the world begun." Dean said with a flourish.
"Holy crap Dean Winchester is quoting Shakespeare. Now I know that it's serious." Sam grunted.
"That's what she brings out in me." Dean shrugged. "I hate myself for waiting so long but I can't wait to make up for lost time."
"Dude the way she looks at you is enough to know that she really cares about you."
"I care about her too Sam but I just am not ready to say it out loud. Trust me when i tell you that she's mine till my last breath and maybe even beyond that with the shit I know."
Sam felt a sting of worry go through him. Dean protected everyone he loved with no second thoughts, just how far would he go for Arandi. As far as he would go for Jade he was sure.
"She's absolutely incredible Sammy." Dean sighed.
"I can imagine if she makes you make sounds like that." Sam joked.
"Let me just say that I have a new found respect for wash cloths." Dean grinned biting his lower lip at the memory, bumping Sam with his shoulder.
Sam laughed and leaned into Dean.
"Sam have you and Jade talked about having kids?"
"Before Jade I wouldn't have even considered it but now we want to wait a couple of years and see how things go."
"Good so I can have a niece named Samantha instead of a brother." Dean thinks about the little girl from his dream.
"Very funny Dean." Sam grumbled. "By the way I already looked up Waverly Beach news and the woman and her boys covered you nicely. The other man killed himself before he could answer any questions."
Dean nodded.
"Joss e-mailed me an itinerary of the things we have to do at the retreat, football, baseball, tennis, golf, horseback riding, dancing, and karaoke to name a few."
"Karaoke?" Dean winced.
"And dancing in suits, golf Dean."
Dean mulled everything over, nothing that he couldn't work past."
"Is there anything that I can say to talk you out of this Dean?' Sam asked in a concerned tone.
"It's our job Sam."
"Yeah well Joss made sure that you and Arandi are the only couple there fitting the description. I don't like it one bit it feels off." Sam insisted.
"Every hunt is dangerous even a simple salt and burn." Dean groused.
"Sorry for trying to keep my only brother in one piece silly me." Sam grumbled. "It's as if you enjoy playing Russian roulette at least twice a day."
"Never more than five time a week."
"How do you find that funny Dean, why can't you just give peace of mind just once?"
"How about I just give a piece of mine?" Dean grinned.
"Are you allergic to a simple yes or no?" Sam groaned in frustration.
Dean pretended to sneeze and then began to scratch his arm with a wide smile.
Sam rolled his eyes. "You are impossible."
"No just Dean Winchester if anyone knows what that even means. This is me Sam raised to be a hunter and save lives yet all the lives I have saved most of them don't know who I am. I just want to be me." Dean growled.
"You want to know what Dean Winchester means to me." Sam glared at his brother. "He means the best big brother in the world and as life would have it he ended up being my big brother, my protector, my teacher, my best friend and my hero. If being happy meant not having you as my brother then I would live the suckiest life a thousand times over as long as you are a part of it, without you I can't be me. You are always there for me even when I'm there for you."
Dean sits momentarily speechless. He swallowed the lump in his throat.
Sam looked at him and then away giving him the time to compose himself. He thinks about every single time Dean has been there for him in every way.
Dean watched his brother. "I'd do all that a thousand times over too."
Sam heads whips around to stare at Dean. "How did you know?"
"This is why I am better at the hustle than you Sammy." Dean winked at him. "You're not a bad little brother either way better than A.J. Simon or Joe Hardy."
"Well my life is complete if I'm better than Joe Hardy." Sam smiled broadly. "You never told me how dad reacted when your name was my first word."
Dean huffed. "He wasn't there."
"And that's why your name was my first word, even then I knew you would be the one to guide me and drive me nuts."
"Being a little nuts is a prerequisite of our job."
"A little nuts?" Sam laughed.
Dean stood up and stretched. "Let's go get our ladies some breakfast in bed and see what our reward is." He wagged his eyebrows.
"Can you please keep it down this time?" Sam chuckled, standing and stretching too.
"I'm telling you Sammy she brings things out in me I had forgotten I could do." Dean stared at his wedding ring. "I know that we're not really married but if I did marry she would be the one. She knows me the real me and she still wants me. Maybe I should be worried about her?"
"About that Dean when you put your rings on did you say vows?" Sam asked with a look of complete amusement plastered on his face.
"Yeah why?" Dean stared at Sam.
"Well you were once a servant of God and you were on consecrated ground, combine the two plus actual wedding rings…"
"You're saying we're really married?" Dean replied in a stunned whisper.
"It wouldn't stick up in court but yeah I think you are." Sam had to reach for his brother who suddenly stumbled back.
"Holy crap." Dean mumbled.
"Dean breathe ok?" Sam shook him slightly.
"I'm good Sammy just caught me off guard." Dean's heart is pounding. He smiled at his brother. "Then she really is the one!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Dean opens the door to their room. He has brought enough breakfast for about four people but he's hungry and he figures Arandi has to be just as hungry. She is still sound asleep when he starts opening containers to release the scent and sure enough she opens her eyes.
"That smells so good." She mumbles and sits up. She heads to the bathroom while Dean sets up everything on the bed. She comes out wearing one of his over shirts.
"You make that look almost as sexy as I do." Dean snickered.
"Well if you had boobs you would give me serious competition." Arandi laughed.
Dean smirked shaking his head. He handed her a fruit smoothie that he knew she preferred over coffee and they ate omelets', blueberry pancakes and fruit.
Dean watched her eat contentedly sighing at how she smiled at him, he needed to do this more often. He pulled out a rose and handed it to her. She stopped eating and stared at the flower.
Dean wondered what he should say if she's wondering where the other eleven roses were?
As if reading his mind. "The single rose brings the heart true acceptance of that which the other roses can only dream, the simplest of gifts the grandest of them all." She whispered.
Dean looked at her. "Does that mean you like it?"
Arandi smiled. "I love it Dean thank you. My mom told us story once about a man that fell so in love with a woman beyond his means. She was beautiful and men chased her and showered her with gifts which she found boring. One day the man saw her walking alone and in desperation just to see her close and hear her voice he cut a rose for her and presented it to her with a flourish. She fell in love with him because he gave her the simplest gift that her heart desired."
Dean had seen the rose when he was walking back to the room with the food and thought he should give to Arandi. He had no idea how much it would mean to her.
"You're welcome." He said softly. He kissed her tasting the syrup still on her lips. "Like I said better than pancakes."
Arandi pushed all the empty containers onto the floor and pushed Dean onto the bed on his back. She straddled him and kissed him hungrily. She undressed him slowly and it had him so completely aroused he just wanted to take her but she had other ideas. Completely naked she kissed him everywhere as she sat on him and he slid into her. They both moaned together.
Arandi moved her body in utter perfection making him crazy with passion. He touched her everywhere and settled his hands onto her gyrating hips. He threw his head from side to side trying to remember the thin walls but his arousal was so complete he couldn't stop moaning.
Just when he was about roll into his climax Arandi moved off of him. Dean stared at her in suffering disbelief.
"Arandi please I…." He pleaded.
She hushed him with a kiss and he tried desperately to roll onto her to reach his climax that was nipping at him. Arandi maintained control on top kissing down his chest and further teasing him just at the edge. He arched up to her begging with his eyes for her to stop teasing him.
"Trust me?" She said hotly.
Dean closed his eyes and groaned. Paybacks were mothers. "Arandi please." He begged lifting her up to try to get back into her.
She smiled at him and slowly let him in slightly holding herself to where he couldn't do anything else but he tried. His fingers dug into her the small of her back and she pulled away.
His green eyes light from the desperate desire that he felt fell on her. "I will never tease you again I swear Angel please!" He begged. He grabbed her to pull her back but Arandi wasn't done with him yet. Instead of letting him back in she rubbed against him until he was panting breathless crazy with need. He repeated her name holding her hips with white knuckles. In one quick move she pushed him into her grabbing his wrists and slamming them beside his head. He looked into her eyes as the sudden finally movement of her tightness sent him over the brink and the climax that hit him made him gasp and arch into her which sent her into her climax and she threw her head back letting his wrists go riding out the climax saying each other's name.
Dean couldn't remember ever having such a mind blowing orgasm. Things just kept getting better with Arandi.
Arandi smiled down at him. "Save a horse ride a Winchester." She breathed.
Dean laughed weakly. "God bless Texas
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
They had slept a little longer and then gotten ready to hit the road. Dean thought it was best that Sam went ahead and rented another vehicle way before Vermont.
Sam and Jade chose a black Impala. Dean only shook his head.
They decided to drive a few hours and then settle in anther town for a couple of days.
Dean now alone with Arandi in the SUV wanted to find something out. "How is it that with you being a virgin you know all these neat little mind blowing tricks?'
"Cosmo." She smiled sheepishly. "And did you really think I was asleep when you watched porno in the middle of the night when we first started sharing a room?"
"Well….." Dean tried rubbing his hand over the back of his neck. "Sorry."
"It must be a man thing."
"I hope not." He grinned.
After a couple of hours of being on the road Dean realized that they were in close vicinity to a bar that he had always wanted to go into, it was called the Gatekeeper and it boasted high ratings for a bar.
Dean called Sam and told him his idea so they agreed to eat at the bar and then find a motel for the night.
The Gatekeeper ended up being very popular and was already busy early evening. The two couples walked in hand in hand and found a spot to sit. They ordered drinks and perused the menus. They ordered ate and had a good time playing pool and darts.
Dean was getting into a shooting video game and had already surpassed the highest score. He noticed a bar back smiling at him. She was a beauty but nothing compared to Arandi. Dean lowered his eyes with no response. He might have had his share of one night stands in the past but when he was with someone he was faithful to the end. He believed that if you could cheat on someone you supposedly loved then you should never get into a relationship in the first place.
Dean glanced at Arandi who was playing an animated game of darts with her sister. He continued to play the game.
"Hey sweetheart just going to refresh your beer." The pretty bar back suddenly beside him, her name tag read Jenna.
"Thanks." Was all he said to her concentrating on the game, hoping that she would move on if he didn't look at her. No such luck.
"Anything else I can get for you sweetie?"
'You can get your ass away from me before Arandi hands you yours.' He thought. He jumped when Jenna touched his arm.
Dean immediately brought his wedding ring into play as he ran his hand over his face.
Jenna ignored it.
No one respected wedding rings any more did they?
"It's not often we get male models in here." Jenna purred leaning to where her ample cleavage showed.
"No male model just a happy husband." Dean inched away from her. He grabbed his beer and slammed it back.
Jenna's face dropped slightly at the words but she continued. "I'll bet you're not as happy as you could be."
"Oh I'm happy." Dean pushed. He had to stop playing the game and decided he better get his ass back to Arandi's side and out of this bar.
Dean flinched and his skin crawled when Jenna ran her hand over his hand where it lay on the table where he had set down his beer. "Can you really resist me?"
"Pretty much yeah." Dean scoffed.
Jenna's eyes flared in anger.
"Do you always hit on married men?" Arandi was suddenly beside him.
"He didn't say anything about being married." Jenna lied easily.
"Jenna you better not be causing problems." The bartender was behind her. He put fresh beers for Dean and Arandi.
"Danny just chill will you. You know how it is with these married guys who hit on you and then backtrack when they get caught by the wife." Jenna glared at Dean.
Dean glared back unbelieving that this woman was trying to make him look like the bad guy. "How can you stand there and lie like that?"
"Oh I'm the liar." She hissed.
Dean humphed apparently Jenna didn't take rejection well.
"Jenna I said to back off." Danny pulled her back her elbow knocked over Dean's beer. "Go get a replacement beer now Jenna."
Jenna sauntered away.
"I am so sorry about that this is what happens when you hire family, the next round is on the house." Danny tried to placate.
Jenna returned with the beer. Arandi stared daggers into her but Jenna only smirked. "I'm not as helpless as I look."
"Good so when I kick your ass it will be self-defense." Arandi hissed stepping forward.
Dean instantly stepped in between the two women. He pushed Arandi back with his shoulder holding his hands out at her sides so that she wouldn't side step him. He knew that Arandi could wipe the floor with this woman and he should let her but not in a public place with a crowd of witnesses already gathered for the show.
"Keep her away from me because I won't hold back any punches." Jenna sneered.
Dean turned to glare at her. "You should be glad I'm holding her back or your ass would be in a world of hurt."
Jenna taunted Arandi. "You know damn well that if he had come here alone he would be in my bed."
Dean groaned as he felt Arandi tense up and he watched her eyes go cold and dark. Before he could prepare himself Arandi shoved him hard enough to make him stumble and she was on Jenna. Jenna took a defense stance and kicked at Arandi who blocked it smoothly.
Apparently Jenna knew martial arts for all the good it would do her with Arandi. She threw some descent shots but Arandi blocked everyone. Then Jenna played dirty and takes an unexpected shot at Dean that splits his lip and he takes a couple of steps back.
Dean sees Arandi's fist connect with Jenna's jaw and she literally is lifted off her feet and lays dazed on the floor. Arandi advanced on her but Dean once again inserts himself in the middle pushing Arandi back.
Sam is having his own battle keeping Jade from the fray.
"Arandi!" He yells but her sights are on Jenna. "Arandi!" Dean tries again and this time Arandi's head swivels to look at him, she is completely enraged. 'Great now she's pissed off at me.'
Danny jumps in then. "Just leave and I'm sure that someone has called the police by now I am so sorry."
Dean tried to pull Arandi but she yanked out of his grip and stormed away. Dean puts his hands on his hips and shakes his head. Why in the hell did he decide to come here? He chugged his beer and followed after Arandi giving Jenna one last glare.
Arandi is already half way across the parking lot past the SUV. Dean hurried after her.
"Arandi?" He puts his hand on her shoulder.
She shrugged it off and spins on him. "Don't ever get in my way!"
Great just a couple of days into their relationship and they were arguing. "What was I supposed to do Arandi let you beat her to a pulp in public and have you get locked up for attempted murder!"
"Just leave me alone Dean call me when you find a room." She walked.
"The hell I will you either get in the car or I'll walk right beside you!" Dean hollered.
Sam and Jade stood by their car wondering if they should interfere.
"I don't need you to defend me Dean."
"Well as long as you're with me you better get used to it!"
Arandi stopped walking and looked at Dean hard. He stared back at her and then she huffed and headed to the SUV.
Dean sighed in relief even though he knew it wasn't over. Arandi was already in the car as Dean motioned for Sam to take the lead. Dean stood outside the car for a second wondering how in the hell he was going to calm her down. Didn't she like cheesecake?
From the shadows of the bar Jenna stood flexing her jaw. "It's not over yet pretty boy." She mumbled with a cold smile.

In the SUV Dean drives while Arandi sits in stone cold silence staring out the window. She is still super tense.
Dean grips the steering wheel hard wondering why she has to be mad at him. Dean's vision suddenly blurs and the SUV swerves slightly. What the hell? Arandi turns to look at him wondering what he is up too.
Dean blinks a couple of times to try to focus. He feels a sudden heat start in the middle of his stomach and radiate outward. Dean pulls one hand off the steering wheel and grabs his stomach. He can't see straight, he pulls the car over on the shoulder of the road and quickly gets out of the car hoping that the night air will help him, his hands were trembling and he leans back against the SUV. Something is wrong but he has no idea what it is. He wants to call to Arandi but his mouth won't work. His fingers and hands start to numb.
Arandi is suddenly in front of him calling to him asking him what's wrong and he can't focus his eyes on her, they seem to have a mind of their own. Arandi grabs his face to look at her but he flinches in pain. He tries to touch her but he has no control over his arms anymore.
The pain that had started in his stomach suddenly explodes into a million shards of pain and Dean hears himself cry out. He hears Arandi calling to him and feels her trying to hold him up when he can't open his eyes anymore. He feels himself falling as his body bursts into flames.

A night with Dean to whoever can guess what happened to him before I post the next chapter. You know him lying there begging for you not to hurt him and saying please, completely naked. Tell me you wouldn't just die of happiness and other things? (Big goofy smile.)
If you're a SamGirl you can do the same to him if you prefer.
Thanks for reading!
