A/N: I only own the OC.

Thank you for reviewing. Sorry for the short chapter. Enjoy.


I trudged out of the gym and stretched... it was too early for this. I had been riding with my dad for a month now and had less sleep than I ever had in my life. He was up at the crack of dawn, talked to people all hours of the night, made time for Stephanie and the girls, but still managed to give 110%. I wanted to ask him if he was on something, but knew that it wouldn't go over well.

"Ready?" he asked me and I nodded. I wasn't sure if I was adjusted to going on less sleep now or if I had just started sleep walking. I didn't know either way, but both sucked balls.

We got into the SUV and started to the highway. I was grateful when he stopped at at McDonalds for breakfast and coffee. I started to eat my sausage biscuit when we got onto the highway and he turned off the radio... shit a family talk was about to happen.

"Not now, Dad." I said and he smirked.

"I just wanted to make sure that everything was alright. Finn came to me and was worried about you." he said and I sighed. I had never imagined that my boyfriend would go to my Dad because I wasn't exactly talking to him at the moment.

"Fine, I am just feeling smothered." I said and Dad nodded.

"We just want to make sure that you are alright, plus I don't want you getting hurt." he said and I sighed. I had two recent deliveries to my hotel rooms that were less than romantic and more down right creepy. Dad was worried, Finn was worried, Dean was being a friend, Becky was freaking, and I was tired.

"I know, but damn it... I am tired." I said and Dad looked shocked because I had a small outburst.

"What's wrong, Reese?" he asked me and I heard the same concern in his voice after Mom died. I ran my hand through my hair and sighed. I didn't want to have this conversation right now... or really at all. I knew that I wasn't going to get out of it, so I had to make something up.

"I am not sure about Finn." I said and Dad looked at me out of the corner of his eye. I was lying about what was wrong, but not about how I felt. I knew that Finn was a nice guy, but not for me. He wanted to move up in the company and some days it felt like I was just his pawn to do just that.

"Do I need to talk to him?" he asked me and I shook my head no.

"I just don't want you to be mad." I said and he squeezed my leg.

"I am not going to be mad if you don't like someone, but I will be if you use someone." he said and I nodded. I felt like this was an opening to test the waters about Dean. I would be lying if I said that I could hide my feelings much longer. I just hoped that he felt the same way about me as he did that night.

"What about me dating someone... else..." I said and he sighed.

"Look, I can't really tell you not to date who you like because I had everyone, including Vince, against me when I dated Stephanie. I just don't want you dating someone that can hurt you." he said and I sighed... he hadn't really answered me.

"Dad, everyone can hurt everyone." I said and he shook his head.

"There are only a few people that I would rather not see you date because people don't change and I know about their past reputation." he said and I nodded.

"I don't think that's fair." I said and he smirked.

"I think your coffee is getting cold." he said and I knew right then that the door had closed on that conversation. I nodded and proceeded to sip my coffee. I would have to figure this out on my own.

I walked into the arena, put my stuff down and walked out the back dock. I need fresh air, I needed time to think, but most of all I didn't need anyone to find me.

"You look awful lonely." a voice said and I looked up to see Dean with a cigarette hanging from his lips. I shrugged as he sat down next to me.

"I don't know what I am." I said and he nodded as he pulled the cigarette away from his lips. I don't know what happened, but as soon as he exhaled I pulled his lips to mine. I felt his hands twist in my hair and pull me closer.

"Shit." a voice said and we pulled apart. I looked up to see Randy and John standing not far away.

"Fuck off." Dean said and kissed me again. I was happy to kiss him back.

"Well, I guess the secrets out." Dean said as we pulled apart and I sighed. He caressed my cheek with his thumb and smirked.

"I wasn't sure how much longer I could hold back, anyways." he said and I smirked. I knew exactly what he meant.

"I need to go clean this up. Find me later." I said and he pulled me in for one more kiss before I walked back inside. I knew that Randy had probably already gone to my Dad, so now I just had to own up to it.
