Chapter 27

(I do not own anything. Please read and review)

Dean sighs and looks to the floor. Without a single word he walks out of the hotel room. He starts unloading his and Jo's things and heads into his room. Jo, Cas and Bella continue to stand about the room. Bella's still frozen in place. Jo walks over to Castiel.

"He'll come around. What matters Cas is what is it you and Bella want?"

Cas turns to Bella. Jo smiles and takes his hand softly squeezing it.

"I think you put her into a bit of shock. Give her a moment."

He nods. Jo pats his hand before dropping her hold. She exits the room pulling the door shut.

Jo enters the hotel and see's Dean pacing up and down the room.

"Dean?"

He grinds his teeth together and points to the hotel room in which his sister and Castiel are in.

He shakes his head his entire face red. Jo rolls her eyes and has a seat on one of the edges of the bed.

"Look at it like this Dean… He asked your permission first. Hell he didn't even ask poor Bella, should have seen her face. She was blown completely away."

He continues to pace the room.

"You're such a hot head Dean."

"Marriage? Oh come on Jo! They hardly know one another! Marriage! The guys an idiot! What would he know about such things."

"That hardly seems fair Dean."

"No I'll tell you what's not fair! That fucker pretty much falls from the sky saves her before we can even get there. He just pushes his way in like he's got some sort of ownership…" Jo interrupts him by laughing.

"Oh my God someone is jealous!"

Dean rears back.

"What the hell are you babbling on about!"

"Is poor little D afraid he's being replaced?"

"That's sick!"

"You're telling me!" She teases and laughs again.

"I'm not fucking jealous of my sister's boyfriend if you can even call him that."

"You feel like he's stealing her away from you don't ya!"

"Shut it!"

"That's so funny. Kind of cute actually!"

"Enough Jo."

"Just admit it Dean! Think about it!"

"I'm not even about to entertain that ridiculous accusation."

"Then let them get married!"

"NO!"

"OH Come on Dean. You know he'd take care of her and would never lay a harmful hand to her."

"That's not the point."

"Then what is it!"

"She's still young. That and well Cas isn't exactly human."

"Actually he is now!"

"He might wear the skin Jo but he's far from any sort of knowledge when it comes to being a real man. He knows nothing about means of support, survival, things a typical human marriage need."

"You know as well as I do this is far from a typical marriage Dean."

"Precisely, which is why I say no! My blessing he's not about to get it."

"You think that's going to stop them!"

Dean smiles.

"Castiel's old fashion. Proving even more so that he doesn't think like us. He won't be able to help himself. If I don't give the go ahead he won't do it!"

"Wow Dean… you truly are a dick."

"Oh come on!"

"Shouldn't all that matters to you is her happiness! I mean listen to yourself."

"I am!"

"And yet you can still look in the mirror? Much less sleep at night?!"

"Yep! Nothing wrong there cupcake!"

"Screw you Dean!"

He rears back.

"You've been spending too much time with my sister!"

"GOOD SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO HAND YOU YOUR ASS WHO BETTER TO TEACH ME! YOU SEEM TO FORGET YOU'RE ONLY ALIVE BECAUSE OF THAT MAN! HE SAVED YOUR ASS!"

Jo storms out of the hotel slamming the door.

"SON OF A BIIIIIIIIIIIIITCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Bella?" Castiel says softly.

Bella blinks her eyes a few times and slowly turns towards him.

"Cas…" She her hands unsteady.

"Did you just…" She narrows her eyes.

"Did you just ask my brother for my hand?"

Cas nods confidently.

"You want to marry me?"

"Yes."

"Ever think to maybe ask me first?"

"It is accustomed to ask the man of the house. Your father is no longer alive. Dean is next of kin to ask."

Something about that makes her giggle.

"You honestly think he's going to bless us in matrimony?"

Castiel nods.

"Oh Cas hun you've so much to learn."

"I wish to marry you as soon as possible."

The room rather spins around on Bella.

"Um huh?"

She raises her hand in a stopping motion and shakes her head.

"Slow down there Romeo… "She closes her eyes for a moment.

He looks to her confused.

"I just… Jesus Cas… I'm taking in the fact that you're new to this. Because honestly if you were a normal man I'd be ripping into you and possibly slapping the shit out of you!" Her eyes widen and she covers her mouth. She couldn't believe she just said that to Castiel of all people.

"You're cross… Why?" He questions.

Bella shakes her head and exits the hotel room. She gets into her truck and peels away. Castiel walks out and Jo turns to him.

"Winchesters…" She scoffs.

"Humans…" He mutters.

"Men…" Bella grunts in her truck as she speeds down the road to the nearest bar.

"Hmmm damn good pie." Dean says scarfing down his food at a nearby restaurant.

Jo sighs and calls a cab. She turns back to Cas as it arrives.

"Let's go."

He looks to her oddly.

"Come on now…"

"Where are we going?"

"I'm going to teach you how to sweep a certain Winchester off her feet."

"Bella?"

"Well I hope so. I just don't see you sweeping Dean off his anytime soon."

They get into the cab and head into town.

"Another…"

Bella says slamming down her empty shot glass. She chases the shot with her beer. There was just too much to take in. Her brother almost died, Castiel and she both almost died, Castiel ripped away his wings, now a marriage proposal hell if you could even call it one. She wasn't even sure why she was so mad but she was. This wasn't exactly how she'd pictured the day she was asked for her hand. This was entirely awkward and she didn't like her brother being asked before she even knew about it.

She stumbles towards the jukebox and puts on her song Hells Bells. Bella closes her eyes jamming out to the music in her own world. She feels someone smack her on the ass however and she turns fists a blazing. Bella flings the man across a nearby pool table. Everyone in the bar stares upon her.

"Mam I think you've had enough time to leave."

Bella laughs and grabs her jacket.

"This place sucks anyway."

She continues towards the truck but drops her keys on the ground. Bella sighs realizing she was entirely too drunk to drive. She growls out knowing she was going to have to leave her truck. Deciding to walk and take in the cool breeze she takes off walking.

Nobody knows the trouble I've seen

Nobody knows but Jesus

Nobody knows the trouble I've seen

Glory hallelujah!

Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down

Oh, yes, Lord

Sometimes I'm almost to the ground

Oh, yes, Lord

Although you see me going 'long so

Oh, yes, Lord

I have my trials here below

Oh, yes, Lord

If you get there before I do

Oh, yes, Lord

Tell all-a my friends I'm coming to Heaven!

Oh, yes, Lord

Bella giggles as she hiccups finishing the last chorus before she steps into the hotel room. Her eyes heavy beyond belief. She hits the first bed without another thought she passes out.

Little was she aware of Castiel sitting amongst the shadows of a candle lit room. He was in a black tux. On the table was a small black box and a dozen of white roses. It's not until the next morning she rolls over in bed and looks around. Bella sees the aftermath of what he'd sit up. Her hand comes to her mouth. She nearly falls out of the bed. Bella makes her way to the table and opens the box revealing the gold diamond engagement ring.

"Cas?"

She calls out but he's nowhere to be found. A surge of panic resides within her. Guilt weighs upon her even more so as she continues to look about the room at all the hard work he'd put in. She never even noticed. She rushes out to Dean's hotel door and bangs on it desperately. Dean comes to the door with only a pair of pants on and horrible bed hair.

"Bells?"

"Is he here?"

"Who?"
"CAS!"

He rears back.

"Of course not."

She feels ill as she looks about the parking lot.

"D…" She spins around continuing to look.

"I think I fucked up!"

He sighs.

"What in the world are you talking about!"

Bella peeks in at Jo as she's lying in bed still.

"What happened Bella?"

"I didn't know Jo! I…" She stutters on her own words.
"FUCK!" Bella says and Dean grabs hold of her.

"Calm down now."
"I can't D! He's out there somewhere! He's not even been human a full 24 hours yet!" She panics more at the idea.

"And I fucked it all up!"

Dean sighs and grabs his shirt.

"Just chill out I'll go find him." He says pulling the shirt over his head..

Before he can even grab his keys though Bella takes off running towards the bar she left her truck at last night.

"Jesus Christ Bells!" He yells as he too gets into his car and decides to look opposite of where she turned. He just prayed she didn't get herself fucking killed.

Bella tries to breath as the tears stream down her face. Her hands shake unmercifully against the wheel.

"Come on Cas baby where are you?" She pleads looking around as she drives past certain buildings.

Suddenly it dawns on her and she gets pissed at herself for not even thinking about it. Castiel might be a man now but he was still Castiel. Where would be the one place he'd go to? She makes a U-turn and heads to the nearest park where she knew some benches would be. Sure enough there's a man with his back facing her. Black tuxedo but the same hair as Cas. She narrows her eyes at this as she parks the truck.

Bella slowly approaches from behind. She leans into his ear.

"Come here often?"

"Bella…" He says so softly she barely heard him.

Her arms lock around his shoulders her emotions getting the best of her.

"Please don't…" He says and she grows worrisome as he pries her hands away.

He comes to his feet facing her.

"I don't ever want to make you cry Bella."

"What are you talking about Cas? I'm the one that hurt you! I'm so sorry. I had no idea. I …"

He shakes his head and offers his hand.

"I understand you do not wish to marry me."

She rears back.

"That's what you think?"

He nods and looks to the ground.

"It does not change how I feel." He says with an nod.

Bella sighs shaking her head but shows him her finger. He narrows his eyes looking lost.

"You put the ring on?"

She smiles and nods her head.

"I do not understand."

"It means I want to marry you Cas."

Cas nods but shakes his head.

"But that is incorrect."

"What is?"

He takes the ring back off her finger. Bella swallows back nervously. Castiel gets down on one knee.

"Isabella Marie Winchester… would you be my wife?"

She blushes in disbelief.

"Castiel, I couldn't think of anything in this entire world I'd want more."

He smiles the biggest she's never seen. He places the ring on her finger and raises back to his feet. Castiel picks Bella up and kisses her.

Both freeze however as everyone in the park starts to clap. She giggles against his lips and looks around. Cas takes her hand as they walk back to the truck. Once they get inside she calls Dean and lets him know she found Cas. He grumbles a bit and hangs up the phone.

After they get back to the hotel Jo and Dean are already outside waiting. Jo grins as Bella comes out and she sees the ring on her finger.

"What?" Dean questions noticing the look on her face.

He rolls his eyes once he takes notice. But refrains from any smart ass comments seeing as how his sister had gone from a total freak out moment to joy. Even he wasn't that much of an ass. He sighs but swallows back his pride and hugs her.

"Congratulations." He says but the words felt like pins stabbing along his tongue.

However Cas turns to Dean.

"Jo says I don't have to ask your permission."

Jo's eyes widen as Dean cuts her a look of hell.

"Is that so?" Dean says severely.

Jo lets out a bit of a nervous laugh.

"Um… anyone hungry?" Jo says and gets in the car.

"Oh no you don't babe you're not getting off that easy…" He mutters and gets in the car.

"You two coming or what?"

Bella turns to Cas.

"Are you hungry?"

There's a certain look however on Cas's face. Bella blushes a bit.

"Um I think we're good."

Dean shrugs and drives away. Bella turns back towards Cas with a smile. He takes her hand and opens the hotel door. He locks the door but continues to fix his eyes on hers.

"It's kind of like being seduced by 007… Sexy…" She teases tugging at his tie.

"But I'm Castiel."

She giggles softly.

"That's right and 007 doesn't hold a candle to you."
Cas keeps backing her up. He uses one hand to push her onto the bed as she backs into it. Her eyes widen at this. There was this desperation in his eyes. Cas undoes her pants and slides them off along with her panties. He crawls over her and takes her shirt and bra off. He pushes her up on the bed. His hands rung along her as he focus on every part of her body. Her heart skipped beats off and on as he'd touch in certain places.
"Bella…" He says running a hand along her tummy.

"It maybe wrong. But out of all the Lord's creations I must say that you're the most beautiful I've ever seen, not only in body but in soul as well."

She bites her bottom lip at this her knees trembling a bit.

"I no longer want to the pizza man…"
Bella grins.

"Sex?" She questions.

HE shakes his head.

"No Bella, I do not want to have sex either."

She looks to him oddly. He crawls over her he kisses along her neck and to her lips.

"I want to make love to my soon to be wife."

She wondered how he'd learned these things… But wasn't about to complain. She wasn't aware that he and Jo had spent hours talking on these issues alone. Jo had told him something's to say and how to go about certain things. She even help set up the proposal he'd planned for last night. She told him that Bella preferred white roses. But it was Castiel that picked out the suit and the ring. All Jo did was lead him wherever he needed to go.

Bella takes off his jacket and shirt as he runs his body against hers in longing. He pulsated against her. She watches his face however as she undoes his pants and starts to rub her hand long him. He closes his eyes as Bella's hand works its way back and forth. He was so warm in her hand and continued to grow and throb. She picks up pace and he moans out. His eyes open and he moves her hand penning it down to the bed. Cas waste no more time as he drives into her harder than he ever has. His kisses become rougher and deeper, thus caused Bella to come immediately.

"Cas…" She cries arching her back.

At this he became wilder and pushed himself even harder against her. Something was different about his body. He no longer felt the self-control he had before. All he knew was how good this felt how he never wanted to stop. There was a sense of pride as well to knowing she was soon to be his wife. He wasn't sure he understood it full but thus excited him even more. Cas looked upon her once more and couldn't hold back any longer. He grips the pillow beneath her clawing at it as he makes this half growl noise once he gets off. Bella smiles realizing she'd never heard him do that. It almost sounded animal like. It was a bit of a turn on. She ran her hands along his back and kissed along his shoulders.

He rolls over and caresses her cheek. But she gets tickled at his next comment.

"Now I'm hungry and thirsty." He then looks towards the bathroom.

"I may need to release human fluids as well."

She groans into her pillow.

"Cas.." She mutters into it.

"Is something wrong?"

She shakes her head into the pillow.

"Go take care of your toiletry needs first Cas."

"OK."

He heads to the bathroom and shuts the door. She chuckles again as she rolls over facing the ceiling. It was going to take a miracle in itself to get him ready to face the world. Castiel had a long ways to go.
