Chapter Two
o.0.o Jess POV o.0.o
After I changed, Dean did and then we headed down toward the pool.
It was late at night – like ten, so the pool was deserted. When we got there, I tossed my towel on the lounge chair and took off my tank top – placing it there as well.
"You gonna jump first," he asked.
"Ladies first," I said while smirking and holding my hands out – signaling for him to go first.
Dean shot me a playful glare and walked to the edge of the pool – closely followed by me. He was just about to jump in, when I tripped him and… in he fell.
Once he came up – soaking wet, I sighed, "Men. Never have enough to know what's heading their way."
A gleam shone in his eye as he used his arms to lift himself up and sit by the edge of the pool, next to me. Before I could give any smart remarks, he grabbed my arm and pulled me into his lap.
Then he sighed, "Women. Always being blind-sided."
A taste of my own medicine I guess. But that was okay. Because I was in his arms. Dean's arms! Inside, I was singing and jumping and dancing. Outside, I remained my cool.
I admit, I wanted this since I got to know him while we were cleaning the weapons that night. But I didn't know it would feel so damn good!
We were looking into each other's eyes and I thought that maybe, just maybe we might kiss. But then he dropped me into the pool – long legs and all. Okay, he spoon fed me my own medicine. But I would get him right back. When I emerged, I found Dean trying to take me by surprise by swimming up from beneath me. I moved quickly. Haha… got him. It was actually pretty funny to see him try and figure out what happened.
But instead of trying to get me back, he swam toward me and put his arms around my waist, pulling me close. Chills were going up and down my spine. Damn! This guy really knew how to toy with a girl. Before he could do anything, we heard the gate to the pool area open and close.
Dean pushed me away and splashed me, trying to cover up something that might have occurred if we were given one more second.
"Hey guys," Alex called. It was her and Sam – wearing pretty much the same attire as Dean and I.
"What's up," I called back.
Sam and Alex jumped in the pool before she glanced at Sam and asked everyone, "You guys want to play chicken?"
Dean looked at me for an answer before I said, "Yeah. Me and Dean against you two."
I pushed Dean down and jumped on his shoulders before he could disagree. When he resurfaced, he put his hands on my thighs. That sent some more chills up my spine.
"You guys are totally unfair," Dean said – now noticing that Alex was on Sam, "You're like nine feet! We're only eight! Cheap shot!"
Sam laughed before saying, "Jess wanted to be on top of you."
I could feel myself blushing. And Alex must have noticed because she stifled a laugh. Then the game began. Dean started to walk toward the other two. Once there, my hands went out to Alex's and we started to push and shove. This could be fun. Sam started to back up because Dean was kicking Sam's shins.
"Hey, no dirty play," Alex called.
"Then get out of the game," I said as I gave her one big shove.
She didn't fall over. Damn it.
Instead, Alex and Sam pushed the offense. Arg… They were getting on my nerves.
"Come on, Dean," I shouted.
He pushed forward. Alex and I kept going at it, but neither team could win. Finally, Alex and Sam worked as a team, pushing both, Dean and I, down into the water together.
Before I could get to the surface, Dean grabbed my waist and pulled me to him. Okay, more chills. He looked into my open eyes and brought my body to him. Then he pushed me away and returned to the surface. I, having nothing better to do underwater, followed. Did I tell you I really, really hate when guys toy with me? A little is fine, but the way Dean Winchester was… that could get annoying… and fast.
Once Dean and I had shaken the water out of our eyes, we noticed that Sam and Alex were at the pool area's entrance/exit.
"Where are you going," Dean called after them.
"Horse shit, man. Horse shit," Sam hollered back.
Sam laughed as he
grabbed Alex's hand and started to run toward our joining rooms.
Dean just watched them go as I looked at him for an answer.
Little
did I know, I was about to get one long answer.
o.0.o Alex's POV o.0.o
When Sam said, 'horse shit', I had no clue as to what the heck he was talking about. But then he grabbed my hand and smiled at me. He began to run toward the rooms, so I just went along. What else was a girl supposed to do?
When we got to the door of his room, he opened it, pulled me inside, and locked it behind us. I had no clue as to what he was about to do. Without chit chat, he ran through the joining door into the other room and locked its entrance door. Now that there was no way Dean and Jess were getting in, I decided an explanation might be nice.
"What are you doing," I asked.
Really, I didn't care. He was just so… into what he was doing. Really happy for the first time.
"We're playing horse shit," he answered as he sat on the double bed and started to dry his hair with a towel.
I – not understanding – asked, "What's that?"
"We plan a trick and then carry it out within an hour."
I pretty much understood the concept of the game, but couldn't figure out what trick we could play.
"I've got an idea," Sam said as he stood up and grabbed my hand, "Come here."
Sam led me into Jess' and my room. He glanced through the window, double checking that the other two were still in the pool area. They were.
"We don't have much time," he said before looking to me, "Can you make something happen?"
"Like what," I asked.
"They like each other, right?"
I nodded.
"Can you make them act on that?"
I nodded. It was possible.
"Do it. I'll keep guard."
I nodded and went to work. First I had to get my supplies out and set up. Then I added a drop of amber oil, a drop of vanilla oil, a teaspoon of lotus root powder, and a ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon. I stirred them together and whispered, "Love us, might. Make me yours tonight."
"Done," I proclaimed.
He glanced at me before returning his gaze to the window, "Now what?"
"Toss it over them," I answered.
This was actually one of the more simple potion-thingies. That was all there was to it.
I got up and followed Sam out of the room. We didn't see Dean or Jess. So we walked down to the cars, careful not to make any noise. Neither adult was there. So we walked toward the pool. That's when we saw the two love birds.
Dean's and Jess' lips just seemed to never part – and if they did, they immediately would come back together. Dean had her back up against the wall of the pool and her legs were wrapped around his waist.
The scene was a bit too steamy for me.
"Gross," I said.
Sam gave me an amused look.
"What," I asked as we started to walk back toward the rooms.
"Gross?"
"Yeah! You just saw your brother possibly screwing my friend," I exclaimed, using hand gestures.
Apparently my gestures we a little much and I dropped the potion. It became dust before I could even try to catch it. And somehow Sam and I inhaled it. That was bad.
Sam looked at me and for some reason his eyes softened as he said, "I need to tell you something."
"What," I asked. Suddenly, the whole 'be careful – it's the potion talking' thing seemed to evaporate from my mind.
"I love Jess, but I know she'd want me to move on. Something keeps pushing me toward you. I think it's her, telling me to move on. With you."
I smiled and he continued, "Alex, would you-"
Okay. I needed to kiss him, so I made my move. Talk about fireworks! He wanted to go on a date with me and I knew that his male-brain wanted to go a bit farther, no matter what he said. So I kissed him. Because I wanted it and I was really sure he did too.
It took him a second, but soon he wrapped his arms around me and kept the kiss going.
o.0.o Dean POV o.0.o
As soon as Sam yelled 'horse shit', I knew I was dead meat. Sam and Alex would lock themselves in our joining rooms and think of something really good. Then they would hit Jess and I with something we could've never predicted – even taking in the fact that Jess is psychic.
But the worse part was they left me here with Jess. Yeah, I had a major crush on this kick-demonic-ass girl, but I kept teasing her. And I could tell it was driving her up the wall.
After I saw the other two get in the room and lock the door, I turned to Jess who was already looking at me for an answer.
She started to talk, but I cut her off, "Horse shit is a game where you have an hour to play a trick on the other person – or people in our case."
She nodded, "So what are we going to do?"
I thought for a second before giving her a wink and moving closer. I think she caught my drift before I did, because she threw her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist. Before I could tease her, she kissed me hard on the mouth. Now this was definitely… amazing.
Alright, I liked the girl, but I liked teasing her even more. And now she had just put a stop to that.
Figuring I could possibly get something tonight, I pushed her against the wall of the pool and we kept going at it.
Maybe ten minutes later, she pulled away and said, "Sam and Alex are kissing, over there."
She pointed and I looked. Sure enough those two were kissing very gently, but with a bit of passion. There was definitely not half as much passion as Jess and I were using. I took a mental note to teach Sammy better.
Something clicked inside me and I grabbed Jess' hand. We both got out of the pool and grabbed our stuff before sneaking up on Sam and Alex. They were still kissing, adding a little more tongue each time.
So, just to prove we won the game, I grabbed Sammy and Jess grabbed Alex. They both looked embarrassed. Really embarrassed.
"What chya' doing, Sammy-boy," I asked.
"Nothing," Sam said.
"Didn't look like it," Jess retorted.
"Check your eyesight," Alex grunted.
"Right. Me and Dean are staying in our room, Lex," Jess said as she grabbed my hand and started to walk toward the rooms – me in tow, "I guess that means, you and Sam have to share."
Alex shot Jess a look that only three of us caught as Jess brought me the rest of the way to her room. She unlocked the door and let me in, locking it behind us. Before I could put my hands on her, Jess locked the door to Sam's and my joining room and walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind her.
Alright, this girl was confusing me. Well, not so much confusing as irritating. She was teasing me back. That got on my nerves. I liked to be the one who teased. Now she was taking over my favorite spot.
I heard the shower turn on and waited a few seconds before deciding what to do.
Finally, I opened the door to the bathroom slowly. There were no clothes on the floor, so I only wondered what that could mean – anything with this girl.
I put my hand on the shower curtain and got ready to open it. I had to chuckle. This reminded me so much of a horror movie! I slowly opened the curtain to revel running water. But no Jessica.
That's when someone jumped on my back and whispered in my ear, "You're not the psycho killer, right?"
"Nah," I said, "I just hunt demons."
I turned around and grabbed her waist as she giggled. There was only one thing left to do… then I kissed her.
That was the beginning of a long night for me and her.
o.0.o Sam POV o.0.o
I knew as soon as Jess closed the door behind them that I was going to kill Dean – and maybe Jess. How could they leave me here with her? Dean knew I liked her without me saying anything. And he knew that I wasn't sure how to tell her or act on it – if I ever would. Talk about family.
"Guess I'm bunking with you," Alex said as I turned to her.
"Yeah," I agreed.
"Want shower first," she asked.
I nodded. That way I could be fast asleep when she came out so there would be no awkwardness between us. We started up toward our room as Alex made some small talk.
"That potion thing, I think it back-fired," she said.
"Why," I asked.
"Well, you and I kind of did what they were supposed to do."
"They did what they were supposed to do," I said, laughing and nodding toward the closed door the two elders were behind.
She laughed and added, "We hope that's what they're doing."
I smiled as we reached Dean's and my room. I unlocked it and let her in before following. I grabbed some clothes from my duffle bag and announced, "I'm going to take a shower."
She nodded before falling back onto Dean's bed. There was something about the way she acted that made me want to hold her and give her hugs and kisses all night. But I resisted that urge as I walked into the bathroom.
Ten minutes later, I emerged from the bathroom wearing a black t-shirt and gray boxers. I found Alex lying on Dean's bed watching some reality show.
"Watch are ya watching," I asked.
"American Idol," she said as I sat on the edge of my bed. I could see her stealing a look.
"I'm going to take a shower. Got any clothes," she asked me. I'm guessing Dean would need some clothes tomorrow too.
"Yeah," I said as I shuffled through my bag and found a green t-shirt and another pair of boxers, "Is that okay?"
"Sure," she said as she grabbed them and went in to take a shower.
When the door closed behind her, I turned the TV station to MTV. They were playing TRL. I grabbed my laptop and started to do a little more research on our shape sifter. But none of it blocked her out of my mind. The only thing I could think of was her. Man, I really hated when girls made you do this.
A few minutes later, I heard the shower turn off and out came Alex. I had to admit, she looked good in my clothes. Maybe I should have tried to go to sleep while she was washing because this was definitely not how I wanted to spend my night – avoiding her.
I was about to say something when both of us heard giggles from the other room.
I closed my eyes and shook my head, "Nasty."
"You're telling me," she said as she laid on the bed next to me.
I was going to politely point out that she could sleep in Dean's bed when she closed my laptop and put it on the nightstand. I glanced nervously at her as she clicked the TV off. Alex finally settled by sitting on the bed next to me.
"Sam, we need to talk," she said.
Uh-oh. I knew this was going to be about outside. The kiss and all. That could be a problem.
"Yeah," I asked.
"You like me. I like you. You like Jess. I wonder why." That hurt me.
"What the hell do you mean," I spat.
"Not like that, Sam," she said, getting really nervous, "No. I meant I wonder why you keep holding on. Outside, you said that you liked me and something's pushing you toward me. Why not let it? Why would it be so bad?"
I was quiet as I looked down to my lap, avoiding her.
"Sam, let it push you. I won't stop it."
I suddenly got a bit of courage – I think it was adrenaline from the spell and I kissed her on the lips – really gently.
But I quickly pulled away. I wasn't sure if she wanted it as much as I did.
"Sam, you need to know. That wasn't the potion. The potion only worked on the first kiss – the one where we admit our true feelings to each other," she said.
It didn't matter to me. I gave her another kiss and another and another. And she returned them. But I didn't think she was ready to go all the way, so I stopped.
"It's late, Alex. I think we should try and get to sleep," I said.
She nodded before giving me one short, small kiss on the lips. She climbed into Dean's bed and under the covers. I turned off the light and got in my own bed.
"Night, Sam," she said from the darkness.
"Night, Alex," I returned.
Several minutes went by before she spoke, "Sam?"
"Yeah?"
"Can I sleep with you? These sheets smell like a sweaty Dean."
I laughed a little as she got out of his bed and crawled into mine. She wiggled her back into my chest and relaxed.
Soon dreams of candy canes and sugarplums were dancing through our heads.
