Chapter 5
Elizabeth jogged back down the stairs in gray slacks and a slender green blouse her gray jacket in tow grasped in her other hand. Her black heels where resting in her other hand and at the bottom step she slipped them on with a nudge of each foot. Dean was on his, most likely, third cup of coffee and was running ideas with Sam while Lisa packed Ben's lunch. She watched the young boy with a smile playing on his lips from her perch and smiled along with him.
"Alright Sam, I'm ready."
"Oh my gosh, only twenty minutes! That has to be a record." Dean teased from his spot on the couch.
"It takes me less time than you." Elizabeth teased back pulling Sam up and walking to the door. "Come on let's get going."
"I'm good with that." Sam mumbled picking up his duffel full of weapons.
"Then come on slow poke." Elizabeth snided pulling Sam's arm toward the door. They reached the door and Elizabeth sent a hand wave to Lisa, "Bye Ben."
"Bye." Ben drooled after her with wide eyes and the 'she remembered my name' look on his face. Elizabeth swung open the door and began to step out.
"What no kiss goodbye?" Dean called after her with a puppy dog face etched on his features.
"Oh, did I forget? I'm sorry." Elizabeth purred walking over to Dan and bending down, letting her lips hover over Dean's, "But since I take so long to get ready I guess I don't have time."
With that she pulled back and stalked back to the door where Sam was cracking up, almost falling forward in a fit of laughter. Dan licked his lips and opened his mouth in shock.
"Aww, come on!" Dean begged after her, "I take it back!"
"Bye Dean!" She laughed back strolling out to the car.
"Dude, burn." Ben chuckled from the kitchen his back pack dropping from his grip.
"Pick up that bag and go out to the bus." Lisa instructed and Ben reluctantly followed orders. He threw the bag over one shoulder and shuffled to the door. "I love you!"
"Yeah yeah." Ben answered back closing the door noisily behind him.
"Well, he is getting to be a teenager." Dean laughed inwardly leaning back on the couch.
"Don't remind me." Lisa groaned strolling back into the living room with her fingers tenderizing her temples.
"That bad huh?"
"Well, if I remember correctly the first time he beat up a kid you were his encouragement."
"I have no clue what you're talking about."
"Sure you don't," Lisa mumbled, "Elizabeth seems nice."
"She is, well among other things."
"How long have you been dating?"
"We dated for a while a long time ago but I ended up having to move on to another job. We met up again and hit it off so she joined us on our…journey."
"She is a lot like you."
"That is probably why we get along so well. But honestly we are very different in ways."
After a long silence drew out Lisa built up her courage. She looked up at Dean until he met her eyes with his green ones; she watched the hazel specks flicker in them for a moment.
"Do you love her?" She choked out worried about the answer either way, but she had to know. No matter the answer.
"Yeah, I do." Dean stated with a small half smile complete assurance in his sparkling eyes.
"Good." Lisa murmured bowing her head downward and brushing off the tears brimming on her eyelids, "I'm going to get some coffee, if you haven't drunk it all."
"I didn't." Dean defended bringing his cup closer to his chest for protection.
Lisa stood in the kitchen leaning on the counter. The air suddenly struck cold and her breathe floated away from her mouth. Before she could call out to the man in her living room something struck her, no struck through her. Everything was dark and then it all flooded back in seconds. Something burned down within her, something already there that was beginning to spread like while fire.
"See there is still coffee there." Dean yelled from the living room.
"Yes, you were right." Lisa joked back letting a smile play on her mouth but it turned menacing as she thought of her. The girl who had stolen from her, and there was only one way she would get it back. Let's just say it wasn't exactly a legal way. Lisa however didn't care and the jealousy burned in the pit of her stomach and took over her action. Not yet however, she would be smart about this.
"How long does it take to get coffee?" Dean whined from his same spot beginning to worry something had happened.
"Coming." With that she strolled back into the living room with a fake smile covering her real one as she ran her plan through her mind. All she had to do was get Elizabeth alone, then she would strike.
