Chapter 14: Ignorance At Pop's

After she had breakfast it was time to meet up with her friend's at Pop's. Lexie sat in the booth waiting for her friends. Here's the thing about Lexie's friends. They are very protective and will break someone for hurting her. When she told them about Joe Cain, they smashed his four-wheeler's windshield with a baseball bat. Later they went to the Wyrm poured shots to celebrate.

She met Lauren Jules during middle school, instantly they became friends, shared secrets, passed notes in society class. Her and Lauren had sleepovers every weekend at Lauren's house. At least when her foster parents allowed her. She loved going to Lauren's house. Her place was so big, her family welcomed her in with opened arms. The Jules's family even wanted to adopt her, unfortunately the dad got really sick and was put in the hospital.

She remembered the look on Lauren's face when the doctor told them her father was dying. The pain and anger written into her face. All the tears blurring both Lexie and Lauren's visions. For weeks Lexie tried to get Lauren to see the positives but she was stubborn and didn't believe her. Lauren's older sister, Katie moved back from New York to help her mother pay the medical bills that were quickly piling up. Mr. Jules condition had worsened during Lexie and Lauren's seventh grade year. Lexie was extremely broken over that. She thought of Mr. Jules as a dad she never had.

He was always there for her when her life was falling apart. He never hurt her like her abusive father had. He would take Lauren, Lexie and sometimes Katie if she was in town out for ice cream. She would usually get mint-chip since it was her favorite. Katie would get something bland and boring and Lauren would get brownie batter. She bonded with the Jules family more than her own.

To her disappointment her adoptive dad passed away later that July. His funeral was honorable just as he was to her. She sat by their family as the service went on. Her eyes bloodshot, holding Lauren's hand into hers. She listened intently to the pastor's words and quietly cried. Her adoptive mother broke down when his casket was placed into the black limo and she held her as she sobbed.

By time the school rolled around Lexie already was at her sixteenth foster home since she turned ten years old. There she met Julia Marks. At first she barely spoke to her and that was until Julia had to share her room. She became friends with her and later like sisters. Lexie didn't have any sisters, only an older brother who she missed a lot. Julia introduced her to Lucy Marie. Eventually Lexie invited all them to her twelfth birthday and Lauren, Julia, Lucy and Lexie never stopped talking.

Lexie's ears peaked up when she heard the cheerful voices of her four best friends. She hadn't seen them for at least a month before she moved back to Riverdale. Before she moved back in with her brother. She lived with her friends in another small town. She loved it there and she damn sure missed them a hell a lot.

"Lexs!" Lauren squealed as she run into Lexie's open arms.

Lexie pulled away after a few seconds and quickly started talking. Lauren looked a lot different than she did just one month ago. Her hair was shorter and much bolder coloring than her dirty blonde.

"Laur!" She screeched, causing people around to her murmur and for Lexie to throw them stink eyes.

Next came Julia rocking her dark wavy curls as she approached the two chatty women seated in the booth by the window. Lexie and Lauren stood back up from the booth and joined arms again. Lucy showed up last sporting her raven locks. They all sat in the crowded booth, looking down at the menus in front of them with hunger in their eyes.

Lexie noticed her brother coming up to her table and tried ignoring her friend's gawking eyes. She knew her brother was attractive but gross to her. For god sake her was her brother.

"Ladies, what can I get you four today?" Her brother asked them with a soft smile.

Lauren sits up straighter and clears her throat." Oh, I'll have..." She says before she glanced down at the menu and then back up at his breathtaking face. " The number four with a side of curly fries."

Julia and Lucy looked over at Lexie and struggled to keep a serious face at Lauren's obvious flirting. Meanwhile Lexie shook her head and rolled her eyes at her friend. For real you're flirting with my brother in front of me! She thought as she stared at them.

"Coming right up." He said as he wrote it down on his notepad. He glanced around to make sure everyone was ready before he left to place their orders. "Any else, Ladies?"

"A chocolate shake." Said Julia before she handed him her menu.

Said Lucy," A cheeseburger with a vanilla shake."

Lexie opens her mouth and eyes her brother with a glare before she told him her order." Just a coffee with— hmmm I'll have a cheesecake."

She can tell by her brother reaction he's surprised. "Really cheesecake?" She nodded her head. "I'm surprised, Lex." He lightly teased and she narrowed her eyes at him.

He started turn away and she hollers." Oh! Don't forget my coffee!" Causing her friends to chuckle.

Her friends knew all about her obsession with coffee. She rambled on and on about how Pop's had the best coffee, which Lauren made a counter argument that Star's diner had the best. Julia and Lucy didn't care about coffee that much. They were more Frappuccino lovers than coffee.

Lucy was the first to speak since they sat down. "So... how's being back?" She asked casually.

Lexie felt ambushed by her friends eyes boring into her. It was like they knew it had been difficult for her. Especially leaving them behind. She began to think and then opened her lips.

"It's been good so far. I'm living with my brother and his two kids. My niece and nephew keep me on my toes." She giggled. Lauren just knew something.

"Any guys besides that asshole we don't speak of?" Lauren rolled her eyes and bit her tongue from the anger still had for that fucker.

Lexie subconsciously bit her lip and of course her friends noticed immediately. She groaned when she figured out she must've accidently bit her lip when she was thinking about her meeting with Dean.

Oooh! Spill, Lexie, you can't leave us hanging on this unacceptable cliffhanger." Lauren pushed knowing that Lexie would bite back.

Julia rolled her eyes at Lauren's pushiness. She figured that Lauren was going to be annoying and refuse to stop until she finally got her answer.

Lexie shook her head quickly and sighed. "There's not much. My bike had a flat tire outside Pop's and he fixed it. That's all that happened." That wasn't all that happened. Much more happened with her and Dean. But she wasn't going to tell them that.

"Oh come on! That can't be it!" Lauren exasperated. She always been a hopeless romantic and this didn't satisfy her one bit.

Oh here we go again. Julia and Lucy prepared for this the whole car ride to Riverdale. They knew that Lauren was going to find someway to annoy Lexie somehow and now they were prepped for the fight.

"Laur, I swear that's all that happened." Lexie tried lying again.

But Lauren saw something in her friend's eyes that said it was much more. Lauren has known her for eighteen years. She knew Lexie like the back of her head. Her likes or dislikes and Lexie told her about when she lost her virginity. Which was when she was seventeen. She didn't know how to explain it. All she knew was that Lexie was hiding something from them and that she was sure of.

"Come on, Lexs, you have this look in your eyes. Like you were hiding something." Lexie felt annoyed and also naked by Lauren's realization.

Before she could open her mouth, FP reappeared with a tray filled by their orders. Lexie smiled thanking for basically saving her ass there. FP didn't know what it was but he guessed she was thankful for his visit. He never understood his sister's friends or twenty-year-olds.

He smirks at his sister when he placed her coffee in front of her." To my favorite customer with the coffee addiction." He teased playfully.

His sister rolled her eyes in irritated fashion and he chuckled at her. Teasing was just so much fun. Lauren's eyes wide and her lips gaped. Lucy tried to pinch her leg but she didn't move. Julia shook her head at the bunch and stifled snickers.

"Thank you, annoying big brother who brings his sister coffee anyway." Alexandra blurted out a mouthful of words.

After he walked away, Lexie could see drool practically dripping down Lauren's mouth. She waved her hand in front of her face. She still moved or budge at all. Then Julia tried to knock her back. Lauren was still wide-eyed and mouth open in surprise. Lastly Lucy tries and it was successful.

"Holy Christ! That man is smashable!" Lauren finally said as drool continued to dribble.

Lexie scoffed before side-eying Julia who just giggled. Lauren wasn't wrong Lexie's brother was totally Dilf material aka Dad-I-love-to-fuck.

"That's my brother!" Lexie said sharply, pointing toward the back of the diner. She looked over at Lucy who closed her mouth. "Wow... my friends all want to fuck my brother great." She said sarcastically before shoving two curly fries she stole from Lauren's plate.

"Hey that was mine!" Lauren complained, folding her arms over her chest.

Lexie had a smug look marking her lips. "And that was my brother you're drooling over. So I guess we are even."

Lauren rolled her eyes before taking a bite of her chicken sandwich. "Fine. I guess you were correct about that." She sighed with her mouthful.

He pulled into the parking lot with a strict look on his face. Sam followed him as he showed the security guards their badges. He was instructed to go down the hallway and take a left. Sam pulled the corpse out of the freezer, studying the marks on the victim's body. Dean examines the marks thoroughly as lifted the arm with his gloved hands.

"Oh jeez." He whispered. Sam looked up and met his brother's eyes. "Ohh man that's gotta hurt."

"It looks like a vampire for sure." He commented before he cover Mr. Main with the white sheet.

Realistically it could a werewolf. But the only issue was the heart was still intact. Typically when they attack they rip the heart out. They got back into the Impala before heading to nearest bar. The bartender asked them what they want to drink.

"I'll have a whiskey." Dean says as his eyes roam the bartender's bust. Carmela looked over at Dean with a lip bite before dotting down his order. Sam brined with annoyance. He knew it was going to be another night with his headphones on.

"I'll be right back." Dean watched her backside as she walked away. His eyes hovered over her ass and Sam just flicked his shoulder.

"Hey!"

Sam smirked," You might want to wipe that drool off your lip."

Dean glares at his brother before snaking his hand around the glass. He tosses the auburn liquor into the back of his throat. His thoughts consumed him. Her raven locks bouncing as she kicked that British psycho's ass. Her laugh as he couldn't handle tequila shots. He kept lying to himself about how he feels. It had been a week since they left Riverdale and his mind kept blasting her name like a radio speaker. Annoying him as he tried to sleep, eat or even freaking shower.

Sam didn't help. He would keep asking if about her like what she was like. He only saw her for like two seconds before they conquered that ghost in her trailer. It amazed him he still remember her.

Normally he would forget one night stands and act like it never happened. But man he couldn't shake her out of his mind. There was something about her that made his heart leap for... joy? That was surreal for him. He wasn't the type for relationships. The life he has, a girl wasn't out of question. You couldn't be vulnerable or exposed. It only showed weakness and you're not a hunter if you are weak.

"Here's my number. Call me later if you want." Carmela says with her elbows against the bar top.

Sam looked at his grinning brother and already knew Dean was going to sleep with her. Part of him wanted to hear more about Lexie. She seemed very nice and outgoing. Exactly his brother's type. Strong, brave and total badass.

"Maybe I will." Dean flirted with her.

—-xxx—

When Lexie came home from lunch slash early dinner, her brother was sitting in his chair still in his work uniform. He had grease fryer stains all over his white work pants. She still question her brother's attire. It looked like he had a long day. She walked into the kitchen to grab something to drink from the fridge.

"Lex, we have dinner at Freddie's in two hours. Jug's working on studying for his SAT's and JB is in her room blasting Pink Floyd." She heard FP informing her.

She was excited she missed Fred. After Fred fired FP from Andrews construction it put a wedge in-between her and Fred's friendship. She had been angry at him for a pretty long time. She couldn't believe he fired her brother. She stormed over to Fred's and Fred told her that FP was stealing from the company. That's why he let him go. She understood but was still hurt that Fred didn't confined with her first before he let FP go.

"Freddie's we come!" She cheered as she shot down water like it was tequila and shook her head acting as if it gave her a rush.

FP chuckled at his little sister. He admired her excitement. Although his concern was about why Fred would invite him over. Maybe he just missed them or Archie wanted to hangout with Jug. He didn't know but for some reason he found himself getting excited too.

"You're a dork, you know?"

Lexie snorts." And does it look like I care old man?"

" Who you calling old man!" He faked hurt, Lexie belted out laughing at the look on her brother's face.

"She's calling you one, Dad!"

Lexie and FP turned around to see Jughead and Jellybean creeping behind the corner. Jughead had a smug grin and JB only giggled with a evil smirk. FP's eyes were wide and he faked pain.

"Oh you wounded me!" He cried as he fake fell on the carpet and Lexie rolls her eyes.

Jughead couldn't keep it together anymore. He just broke out laughing his lungs off. Jellybean followed after her brother. Lexie walked over them, pulling both of kids into her arms and laughed with them.

"Oh no!" Jughead yelled sarcastically. " He's dying from faking pain!" FP began chasing all three of them around the small trailer.

Two hours later, they got into FP's truck and drove over to Freddie's. Which is on the northside. The hate for the Southside has dwendell since everyone found out about Hiram's way to repel future southsiders. Jughead's assault that he paid the Ghoulies to kill him and it raised a lot red flags. More support was used to raise awareness about his true plans for Riverdale but nothing worked. Hiram still had power among the richest town's people.

Fred welcome them in. Lexie hugged him tightly before disappearing into the dinning room. At her arrival was Veronica Lodge, Archie, Betty and oddly of all Cheryl and Toni. Lexie didn't hate Veronica. She knew that Veronica was a Lodge but she was different. She cared for her nephew and treated him like her friend. She also knows that Veronica is trapped between this war with her father and what's right.

Cheryl blossom she didn't have a problem with as long as she kept her trap damn shut about her brother. It been a week and a-half since Jason's (ghost) put FP in the hospital and now he was recovery slowly.

She sat by Fred and her brother was beside her. Jughead was with Betty. Archie linked to Veronica and Cheryl and Toni were in the back of the table. Fred kindly passed the potato dish around the table. Each person scooped out some mashed potatoes for themselves.

"Erm." Fred cleared his throat to grab everyone's attention. "I would like to stay thanks for all coming. I wanted to have this meeting to talk about the threat in this town." Lexie sensed a heavy grudge in his attitude. She couldn't blame him for being angry. Hiram made everyone's life hell, especially hers.

She remembered the phone call she had reserved from her brother about Jughead. How broken he sounded over the phone. Her heart shattering when he told her Jughead might not make it. It was all too much. She's been angry ever since.

"He kill him." Cheryl grumbled as her bitchy attitude broke through her blood red lips.

As much as she agreed with Cheryl's statement. She also knew it was legal and she was trying to avoid letting her brother fall back into hot water again. Ten percent wanted to say' hey yes kill him' and the other ninety said no.

"Cheryl, we can't just kill him as much I want to. We have to think of something better." FP stated.

"My dad has to be stopped before he ruins this town beyond imagination." Veronica butted in. She had a point. If he wasn't stopped, there wasn't way of knowing what he could possibly do.

Betty also says," V has a point. If we don't stop him. It could cost us everything."

After thinking about the plan and nothing stuck. Lexie looked down at her plate with pity. She had a long day and this was the last thing she need. FP noticed the gloomy look on her face and tapped her shoulder. Lexie shook her head and looked up.

"What's bothering you, Alexa?" Her brother asks with concern written in his voice.

Alexandra throws her arms up in frustration. "All my friends want to fuck my brother, that's what is bothering me!" She snapped out nowhere.

FP blushed red at his sister's comment. He definitely was regretting asking her what was bothering. He looked at his son, who was wide-eyed himself. Cheryl severely knew that Toni was about to break out laughing. Betty gasped quietly to herself and Fred looked amused by the situation.

FP cleared his throat." The blonde one who flirted with me the whole time." He was still embarrassed.

"Yeah her and apparently they think your DILF!" Lexie said with clear annoyance in her eyes.

Cheryl and Toni slowly ducked behind the table cloth. Toni didn't know how much longer she could hold it. FP turned redder, Jughead eyed his aunt who gave him an eye roll, Betty stayed quiet.

"DIlF?"Questioned FP and Fred in unison with skepticism behind their eyes.

Only Cheryl was brave enough to answer. "Dad I'd love to fuck." Both men blushed and Jughead externally cringed. He didn't want to think about his dad or Mr. A's sex life.

"Oh..."

While they ate dessert, Lexie indulged in her favorite. Oh hell yes! She internally screamed inside her head. Mint chocolate chip ice cream was her ultimate favorite.

"I want love." Fred announced as he put the spoon back in his bowl.

"You'll find it, Mr. Andrews." Cheryl said with a hopeful smile and held Toni's hand. She found hers so there was hope out there somewhere.

"FP got flirted with and I barely ever get sex!"

The whole room grows quiet quickly after that. Lexie looks up at her friend with surprise. She wasn't expecting that. "You will as long it is not with my friends." Lexie half-joked. She was incredibly serious about the matter.

"Wait until they see me." Fred said with a smug smirk.

"Oh boy." Lexie heard her brother say.

"I can be a DILF." Lexie just couldn't believe this conversation they were having.

"Oh please don't, Freddie." She whined.

FP and Lexie bursted out laughing. He must be drunk off his ass right now or high on fizzle rocks. Toni couldn't take anymore. She belted out into laughter as her lungs start to hurt from laughing so goddamn hard.

—-xxx—-

The wind blew harshly in the Minnesota street lights. He wanted to take his mind off the migraine he was having from their case. He walked down the sidewalk, looking at the night sky. He felt a snowflake fall. He stuck his tongue to get a taste of snow. He took a minute to admire the beauty.

"It's pretty isn't it."

The voice pulled him away from his thoughts and over to the woman standing in front of him. Her ivory skin sparkles in moonlight reflecting off the snow. He shivers when a icy gust of wind bit at his ears.

"Yeah it is." He says still looking up at the falling snow.

"Oh here."The ivory skinned woman said quickly.Dean looked at her in surprise when she placed a hat on his head.

"Thank you. I was starting to freeze." He commented rubbing his hands together.

He wasn't used to the cold. He moved from town to town all his life. So he never had an accumulation to the weather. One day he would be in freezing states and the next he was in boiling states.

"You aren't from here, I can tell."

He shook his head." No. I'm just here visiting a friend and then I'm off." He lied he wasn't here for a friend. It was for a case. Focus Dean. He kept telling himself.

"Oh.. that's too bad." Carmela says softly.

Come on, Dean stop getting sidetracked. But his jeans tightened and he feels himself getting hard. Carmela skews her lips and steps closer to him. His erection started throbbing. Carmela licks her lips before leaning closer. Dean could feel her hot breath lingering over his lips. Her tongue slides against his as he opens his mouth. He places his hands on her waist and she hikes up her leg around his.

Dean breaks the kiss." Let's take this back to my motel." He breathily said and She nodded eagerly.

The drive was short. As soon as they reached the door. The keys clicked. Her back pressed against the wood. His fingers magically stripped her of her bra. Her breasts were shadowed by his chest. He backed them over to his bed with her straddling his waist.

As they fucked his mind clouded with her. He still couldn't be completely there with Carmela. Each time he kept thinking. Lexie is much better. No Lexie wouldn't do that. He tried letting himself release. It was no help. Oh Lexie.. almost fell through his lips.

"Fuck Dean!" She cried out with pleasure.

He ran his tongue down her back. She quivered as his tongue trials by her collarbone. She screamed when he plunged into her hard and fast. She climbed on top and started rocking. Their hips grind together. All he can think about was Lexie. Damn this woman was going to drive him insane.

"Fuck!" He moaned against her nape.

Then it occurred to him. He may like Lexie. No that can't be. He does one night stands and then that's it. He's not a one women kind of guy. He's fucked and that is all he knows. Lexie doesn't want anything to do with him. He might as well not bother. She made it very clear. 'Never come back' still echoes in his eardrums as he shuts his green eyes.
