Like I said… this chapter is all Gabi and Sam. This should be interesting… I have never done more then a page or two with them. Making at least four is going to be challenging.

Chapter 14: The City

(Gabi's POV)

New York. What could I say about it? Well, it was busy, loud, crowded, sometimes rude, and I loved every part of it.

Sam hadn't ever been here before and I couldn't wait to show him, well more like drag him around. He looked up at the buildings in amazement.

"You lived here for four years?" He asked. I smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, my parents still do. But they are moving back to Maine since I graduated." I told him.

"Are we staying with them?" He asked with a touch of fear in his voice.

"No, they are packing and trying to get everything settled and ready to leave. So we are staying…" I took a couple more steps and stood directly in front of the Plaza. "Here!"

"This place is huge!" He exclaimed.

"Yep, daddy already made the reservations. I called him on the plane." I told him as the bell boy held open the door.

"Wait, your dad didn't seem to fond of me, and yet he agreed to pay for us to stay together?" He asked.

"Hey I was just honest about the vacation. But I left you out of it." I told him. He laughed and we checked into our room, which was fabulous.

"So what are we doing today?" He said once we got everything unpacked and all that.

"Well, if you were Annie, then we would spend all day drinking Starbucks and shopping. But, you aren't Annie and I doubt you want to go shopping with me all day so, I figure we can just walk around until something catches our eye." I told him.

"Sounds good, but I have a feeling that sometime this week you are going to drag me with you to shop, aren't you?" He questioned. I smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

"Yes, and you are going to enjoy it." I teased.

We headed out and walked through Central Park and Time Square. Both of us were tired from the flight but I wasn't going to let that stop me. I hadn't been to the city in like five months; I had some catching up to do.

"Gabi, can we get some food? I'm starving." Sam asked.

"Sounds good to me." I said as I headed into a small, casual Italian restaurant. This place had the best bread in the world.

We ate, and talked and laughed for almost two hours before leaving and starting to walk back to the hotel. Then, something triggered a memory in my brain.

"Hey Sam?" I asked.

"Yeah?" He replied as he slowed down to look at me.

"What Missouri said earlier, was it true? You told me we would talk later and it's later…." I said skeptically. He sighed and stopped completely.

"Gabi, Missouri can read minds. She was right, I was thinking about it. Especially after the whole Jake thing. See, I know you aren't going to like this, but even before he did anything to you I guess I was a little…" I cut him off.

"Jealous?" I questioned, smiling some.

"Well, yeah. Plus the fact that he gave be this really bad vibe and I just didn't like him. But I just started getting all of these thoughts about not wanting to let you go and how angry I got when I saw him doing what he did. So I thought about asking you, knowing that way I could hopefully keep you away from that. But then I realized that I really wanted to ask you just because I loved you. It was on my mind when we were in Kansas and Missouri apparently picked it up. I'm just sorry you had to find out like this." He told me.

I closed my eyes and nodded.

"So you aren't going to ask me then?" I said smiling a little, not so much out of happiness though.

"No, well not now anyways. The surprise element has kind of been ruined." He joked. I nodded and leaned into his shoulder.

We walked the rest of the way in silence. Did I really want him to ask me? Was I really ready for that? I mean, I was just almost twenty two and in my opinion that is a little bit young to dive into that kind of commitment. Plus the fact that commitment of any kind scared me more then, oh say, evil spirit possessed houses or ghosts or demons. All of which I had recently encountered.

But I didn't want to tell him no. Even if I wasn't ready to marry him, I didn't want to break his heart.

'Just don't answer. Tell him you need to think.' I thought. I mean, I didn't even know if he was going to any time soon, so that gave me a heads up on my answer.

I didn't want to say yes though. We weren't Dean and Annie. They always kept each other on there toes and called each other out. Sam and I seemed almost to perfect. He never seemed to get angry with me; if he did he always hid it. And I was not the perfect girl by any means. I knew he was scared to lose me, he had made that very clear over the past few months, and I didn't want to lose him.

But how could I tie myself down like that? I mean we had only been dating for like two months. That wasn't enough time to even be considering this. Was it?

I loved Sam, I loved him a lot. But if he asked me, I just had an awful feeling that it would put our entire relationship in danger, because this wasn't the time.

--------

So, the next three days, I kind of avoided him. Not in the obvious ways, I mean I made up some pretty good excuses. But I didn't want to think about that anymore. So I indulged myself in the city.

Ok, so like I said, I did drag him a long with me to go shopping. And I bought a lot of stuff. But the whole time he was laughing at me!

"You know, you never get bored with me, you never get mad. Are you some kind of super human programmed robot thing or something?" I teased.

"Nope, but how can I get bored with some one so entertaining? And anger, well I just take that all out on my brother, he is normally the only one to make me mad anyways, well besides my dad." He told me. I smirked and gave the lady at the cash register my credit card.

"Well then, I am glad you have Dean to yell at so I don't have to hear it." I joked. He rolled his eyes and put one arm around my waist. "I think I am done." I told him.

We went back to the hotel and dropped off all of the bags before going to dinner.

"I'm starving!" I exclaimed as we were seating. The only thing I had consumed today was five Venti Carmel Macchiato's. Needless to say I was wired beyond belief.

I don't even remember what we talked about. Food, movies, random stuff like that maybe. I think I may have mentioned something about multi colored animals…. And talked about how eating animal crackers was basically teaching kids to be cannibals. I really have no idea. Because the caffeine rush I had hit rock bottom by the time we got back to the hotel and I crashed.

(Sam's POV)

Gabi and Annie could never have coffee. I called Dean and told him about her wild animal theories after the five trips to Starbucks. He laughed and said Annie had been doing the same thing to.

Once the four of us got back together, Dean and mines mission was to have every coffee shop closed down from coast to coast. Because this major energy high, then meltdown thing was getting to be way too much to handle.

Not that Gabi was easy to handle anyways. I swear, I loved the girl to death but if she had to be held down for one minute I think she might die.

But she had been acting really strange ever since our conversation the first night here. Maybe it was just weird for her to hear. I mean it isn't a conversation most couples have about that sort of thing. Plus she had mentioned before that she was scared of commitment. But I was scared of losing her like I lost Jess and never getting to do all the things we talked about doing.

Gabi and I did that a lot. We talked about quitting hunting in a few years and traveling all over the world with out caring whether or not a demon or ghost was chasing us, we talked about her wanting a kitten and me wanting a dog, we talked about getting our own car and just driving with no agenda. Just things that made you realize how great life could be. But if she had meant all of it, then why was she being so distant but pretending nothing was wrong? I didn't understand it. Hell I hardly understood her half of the time.

Maybe she thought I would be like Jake and try to change her. Which I would never do because I loved her the way she was. But maybe that was the problem…

All of these thoughts ran through my head as I watched her peacefully sleeping next to me. And I couldn't help but wonder what went on in her head, and wished just for once that my abilities as a forming psychic were stronger so I could know.
