Chapter 3
It was four a.m. when they pulled up outside of their destination. Sam woke easily with soft shove to the shoulder and slid out of the car after shaking out his rugged hair. Elizabeth lied awkwardly in the back seat with limbs twisted along with her torso. Dean rubbed the back of his neck and twisted the sore muscles there before stepping out of the car. Warm air licked at his arms along with a light mist leaving his sleeves to cling at his muscular chest and biceps.
"Come on sleeping beauty; Sammy will grab my bag?"
"Sure Dean." Sam said picking out all three bags before slamming the trunk lid closed.
"And tell Lis that it isn't only us before I get up there, please."
"Okay, but you owe me." Sam grumbled before walking up to the porch.
"Alright let's go." Dean moaned before pulling Elizabeth's limp form out of the car. He cradled her in his arms and landed a light kiss on her forehead.
"That's what she said." Elizabeth mumbled wrapping her slender arms around his neck and burying her face in his sculpted chest.
"As much as I love to carry you, we are here. So you might want to walk."
"Fine." Elizabeth yawned climbing down but still leaning into him heavily and pressing her head into his shoulder while he wrapped a strong arm around her waist.
Sam knocked on the rough wood timidly, hoping she was already awake. He could hear shuffling inside before the door cracked open. Lisa stood in the doorway with a relief filled smile on her lips as she ushered him in.
"Sam, is Dean in the car? I'm so happy you made alright, and so fast." She babbled holding the door wide open almost peering out.
"Yeah, and there is something you need to know. Dean tried to tell you on the phone but didn't get the chance." Sam tried to explain Lisa looked at him with an expression concern and curiosity, "We don't hunt just the two of us…anymore."
"Oh another hunter joined you."
"Sort of…" Before Sam could finish explaining Dean and Elizabeth strode in. Elizabeth stayed wrapped in Dean's arm but straightened when she saw Lisa and Sam.
"Hi, it's nice to meet you, I'm Elizabeth." Elizabeth said extending her hand to Lisa who hesitantly took it in her own.
"Lisa, nice to meet you to." Honestly she did not seem that pleased but she could fake it. Dean gave a charming grin and tightened his hold on Elizabeth's side.
"Hey Lis." Dean greeted leaving an awkward silence choked with fake grins.
"So, do you know any good hotels around here?" Sam interjected breaking the silence, everyone glanced at him gratefully.
"Don't be silly you can stay here, after all I am the one who dragged you here."
"That's really fine…"
"And in all honesty I'm a little afraid to be here alone with only Ben."
"Then I guess we can stay."
"How is Ben?" Dean questioned perking at the mention at the young boy's name who was oddly like him, which in Dean's mind was a good thing. Before Lisa could answer Elizabeth interjected her own question.
"Who is Ben?"
"Lisa's son." Dean answered leaning in closer to her ear, "Not mine before you ask."
"You know me so well." She whispered back, they didn't even notice Lisa's intense stare as they whispered to each other. She broke her watch away and stared at the floor intently.
"Anyway, he is doing well." Lisa answered a bit loudly, "He's sleeping up in his room."
"Does he know that…?"
"Yes, but of course he doesn't know the reason."
"Alright so if we are staying here where do we sleep?"
"Guest rooms are upstairs the third room on the left and the fifth room on the right."
"Great, I think we should turn in." Sam interjected before the conversation could get any more awkward.
"See you in the morning." Lisa called after them unable to not stare at Dean's butt, trying to ignore the one next to it. She sighed inwardly and sucked back tears after all she had broken up with him.
Once Elizabeth and Dean where in their guest room for the night they kissed each other hard. The warmth spread through both of them and he tangled his fingers in her hair. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he lifted her easily off the ground.
"I think I love you." Dean murmured in her ear and stared into her big blue eyes.
"You got to do better than you think." Elizabeth laughed through her wide smile.
"Alright I know that I love you."
"That's better." Then she pressed her lips back to his in a perfect match. "We should go to sleep."
"Yeah we should." Dean whined setting her down on her feet with one last drawn out kiss. Then he parted with a small pout. Elizabeth grabbed her bag and walked into the adjacent bathroom to get changed. Dean peeled off his shirt stripped to his boxers before falling back onto the plush bed. Which was way more comfortable than his usual beds.
Elizabeth stalked out of the bathroom about fifteen minutes later with damp hair wearing a gray tank top and striped pajama pants. She climbed into the bed molded into the comforter. Dean pressed his lips onto her temple before walking over to the bathroom himself.
Elizabeth stretched back on the bed twisted her sore muscles. Man she had to stop sleeping on horrible motel beds and Dean's car.
"Dean, though your car is amazing! It is a really bad bed!"
"Hey, it has worked great for me!" Dean called through the running water. He strolled out a little later and settled in next to Elizabeth. "Night."
"Night." With that they fell into a deep sleep, enjoying the moments before the hunt and lots of drama. They just couldn't imagine how much.
