Dean and me kept shooting glances at one another and at some point I blew him a kiss and overtook the Impala.
We both slowed down and turned the volume of our music down as we saw cars ahead of us. I dialled Sams number and put my cellphone on loudspeaker as I placed it on my dashboard.
-"Hey Liz." he said.
-"Hi Sam. Are you ok?" I asked feeling a bit guilty.
-"I wasn t feeling too good during the little race Dean and you had but now I m fine."
-"Cmon Sammy, that was fun." I heard Dean say and I laughed.
-"Sorry Sam. Anyways, we ll arrive in Denver in about 15 minutes. How about we have some dinner? While we re there we could ask some locals about the murders." I suggested.
-"Sounds good." he said and hung up.
20 minutes later we pulled up at a local diner that was buzzing with people. We went inside and sat down in one of the booths in the far corner that wasn t too crowded. I sat opposite to Dean and Sam. Sam excused himself to make a phonecall but before he left he told Dean to order him a steak with fries. A waitress came to take our orders. She was pretty but it was obvious that she wasn t the sharpest tool in the shed.
-"Hi! What can I get for you and your girlfriend?" she asked and smiled flirtatiously at Dean. I knew that she was hoping for him to tell her that I wasn t his girlfriend.
-"2 steaks with fries for me and my brother." he said and looked at me.
-"Honey, what would you like to have?" he asked and put his hand on mine. I stepped on his toe and he flinched a little.
-"I d like to have the chicken fillet with vegetables please." I told the waitress who scribbled it on her notepad and left.
-"What did you do that for?" Dean asked and I knew what he meant.
-"For making that girl believe I m your girlfriend and for calling me honey." I replied. He scooted a little closer towards me and smiled at me cheekily.
-"Admit it, you liked it." he said and I rolled my eyes at him. He was right, I liked the sound of him calling me his girlfriend but I wasn t going to admit it. To be honest I wasn t sure how long I d be able to resist him. I was so strongly attracted to him, not just physically to my suprise. Fortunately he seemed to be very attracted to me aswell.
This time it was me who scooted closer to him. I took his hands into mine and pulled them towards me. His hands were about an inch away from my breasts and I felt my body temperature rising.
-"Can I tell you something?" I asked him seductively. His gaze moved from our connected hands towards my eyes.
-"Since I ve met you, I started having these dreams. All I can think about is having hot and steamy sex with you." His jaw dropped. Mission accomplished I thought. I let go of his hands and started laughing.
-"That was not funny. You don t make jokes about that kind of stuff."
-"Make jokes about what?" Sam asked as he sat down next to Dean.
-"Nothing. I was just messing with Dean." I replied and grinned.
The waitress from earlier returned with our food and placed it in front of us.
-"You two really make a pretty couple." she said and looked at Dean and me.
-"Couple? Did I miss something?" Sam asked once again confused as the waitress left.
-"Dean made her believe that I was his girlfriend." Sam just rolled his eyes at my answer.
After we ve had our food we ordered a couple of beers. We talked to a few locals about the murders in order to gain more details. I chatted to a police officer called Dave who happened to work on that case. At first he was reluctant to tell me anything, so I started flirting a little. He was a few years my senior and cute. From the corner of my eye, I could see Dean intensely watching my every move. I didn t bother and continued flirting to get more information and eventually I succeeded. I said goodbye but before I left I wrote my phone number on a piece of paper and handed it to Dave. Little did he know that the number actually belonged to a chinese restaurant. I left the diner and waited for the boys to meet me outside.
-"What did you find out?" I asked the boys as they approached me.
-"Nothing much that we don t already know. What about you? You looked cozy talking to that officer." Dean said with a hint of jealoucy in his voice.
-"Dave told me that all the murders happened at around midnight and that all three crime scenes were within a 100 feet radius. The female victims were strangled to death. The coroner found traces of chloroform in the male victims body, so it seems like they were drugged before their hearts were cut out of their chests."
-"He told you all that?" Sam asked in disbelief.
-"Well, what can I say? I m just a charming girl." I said and winked.
-"We saw that. You shouldn t have given him your number." Dean said, sounding even more jealous.
-"It s none of your business who I give my number to and besides it wasn t actually my number. The one I gave him belongs to some chinese restaurant. Anyways, let s find a motel. We still have a couple of hours until midnight." I said and got into my car.
We stopped at the closest motel. We were forced to share a room since all other rooms were occupied.
