CHAPTER 15
A/N: The song in this chapter is "What I wouldn't Do" by A Fine Frenzy
It was now and we were both in the same place / Didn't know how to say the words / With my heart ticking like a bomb in a birdcage / I left before someone got hurt / Oh what I wouldn't do / If I had you, babe, I had you / Oh what I wouldn't do / If I had you, babe, if I had you
The song ended and Paige and Leigh left the dance floor. They'd been hoping that Sam and Dean would dance with them but they consistently refused. Leo and Piper were running the damn thing but they still danced. Phoebe and Coop obviously couldn't keep their hands off of each other. So that left Leigh and Paige to fend for themselves.
They'd been dancing with each other for hours since their respective hunters wouldn't budge. The girls did, however, slow dance with two random guys to the song "Almost Lover" since they couldn't slow dance with each other or the apples of their eyes'. They'd also caught Sam and Dean glowering at each girl's dance partner. That gave the girls a certain confidence boost but it didn't really make a difference.
Paige had seen Dean glaring wickedly at the 'blonde-haired bastard' – as Dean had so eloquently referred to him as – that was slow dancing closely to Paige. It was unusual for Dean to be interested in a girl for more than her body, but it was happening. Paige intrigued him and he found himself wanting to know more. Yes, he knew that, but he hadn't known that he was genuinely jealous.
Sam on the other hand already knew he was jealous of the frat boy swaying along to the music with Leigh. He didn't care if he'd only known her for two days – or if he'd stabbed her – because she fascinated him. He wasn't sure quite why he was jealous because he sure hadn't known her long enough to have feelings for her but he sure as hell didn't want some guy's slimy hands all over her.
"Come on guys," Paige said sitting down before Sam and Dean "It's the last song of the night."
"Yeah, come dance with us." Leigh pleaded taking a seat beside Paige. Dean avoided Paige's puppy-dog eyes by taking a long drink of his beer.
"No thanks doll." He said with a half-smirk to Paige.
"Paige, I don't think they're going to give in." Leigh said to Paige.
"You're right. Maybe Dave will dance with me again." Paige suggested noting the shock on Dean's face.
"I might go look for Mason." Leigh said thoughtfully.
"Who is Mason?" Sam asked hurriedly sounding a lot more jealous than intended.
"Oh just the guy I danced with before." She said with a casual shrug. Paige and Leigh stood up pretending to ignore the dumb stares they were getting from the hunters. Leigh took a step towards Sam and held out her hand. "Last chance Sam, the song's already started and it's a slow one so if you don't take my hand and dance with me I'll find someone who will."
She sounded a lot more confident than she felt. She didn't even know for sure if he wanted to dance with her. She didn't know if he would care whether or not she danced with someone else but it was a chance she was willing to take.
Sam felt conflicted. He really did want to dance with her but, well, he couldn't dance. He was afraid he would step on her feet or something. Another thing was that he didn't want to get too attached to her. He knew he would be leaving once the case was over and he was already too attracted for his own good. Then again, how could he say no when he was in direct eye-line with her thighs.
He took a deep breath and decided that he was already in too deep so, what could it hurt? He stood up and took her hand. She smiled broadly and led him towards the dance floor.
Paige was happy for her but still disappointed that she couldn't snag Dean.
"Well, I know that's not going to work with you so I'm just gonna go find someone who wants to dance with me." She said getting up to leave.
"Who said I didn't want to?" Dean replied, stopping Paige from walking away. She turned back around to him.
"Well you don't exactly seem up for it." She replied smartly.
"Oh trust me, I'm up." He said with a suggestive wiggle of his eyebrows.
"So was Dave." Paige quipped with a seductive smile, Dean's face went flat. He stood up and grabbed her hand. "What are you doing?" she asked.
He smirked his trademark cocky smirk before replying "You wanna dance don't you?"
