Bar Keep

AN: Enjoy ya'll, tell me what you think!

"Come on David, last call" Ashley said cleaning up the bar she was now in charge of.

"Yes ma'am" the town's drunk called out from his spot at the end of the maple bar in the dark corner of the room.

Ashley was happy and now a pretty red-headed bartender at some biker's bar. Of course she missed her brothers, but after walking out on them more than 5 months ago, Sam had only called a handful of times. Ashley was pouring drinks to bikers and hunters instead of hunting down the creatures herself. The sound of a glass breaking had interrupted Ashley's train of thought and made the hair on the back of her neck stand up on end.

"Sorry" a man called out from behind the kitchen door.

"It's alright Max, you just scarred the crap out of me" Ashley yelled back to her co-worker as well as lover. "David dear, I gotta close up, let me call you a cab" Ashley sighed to the older man still sipping on his whiskey on the rocks.

"Yeah sure, sorry for sticking around. I'll wait outside."

"It's alright David, it'll be here in 15 minutes to pick you up."

"Thanks Little One" David answered after finishing his drink.

The name had caught Ashley off guard at first, but she quickly pushed away the emotions rising up in her throat.

"Hey Ash, almost done here?" Max grunted out while carrying a couple crates of beer from the back stock room.

"Yeah baby, Ill stock up the fridge and you bring around the car?" she hinted at her laziness and fatigue from standing on her feet for a full 9 hours.

"See you in a sec" Max nodded as he walked out the door, locking it behind him just to make sure his girl stayed safe.

As Ashley bent down to put the beers in the fridge, Ashley heard a familiar rumble of an engine, but she could not pin exactly which car it could come from. It wasn't the same roar that came from her Mustang, but it still sounded like it came from a car she was close to. Ashley threw off her red waist apron and walked over to the window to peek out and see who it could possibly be. Her heart jumped at the sight in front of her and ran out to greet the car pulling up in the dirt parking lot.

The car's occupants didn't hesitate once their sister started running towards them.

"De! Sammy!" she exclaimed jumping into her largest brother's open arms. "Hey Little One" Sam said spinning his baby sister around before setting her back down on the ground. Dean stepped up towards Ashley, not sure of the reaction he was going to get.

"Dean, how did you-why are you guys here?" she said recovering from her intense excitement.

"We uh, we were passing through and thought we'd stop by."

"Well come on in, why stand out in the wind!"

"Yeah, sure" Sam agreed, following Ashley back into the bar and catching a glimpse of a man peeking through the blinds.

Max was confused as to why Ashley was standing outside with two mysterious men who just pulled up in a damn Chevy Impala. Thank god she was coming back inside because he was starting to feel a little jealous.

"Hey Ash, thought you were locking up" Max said as soon as Ashley stepped through the door with the two large men behind her.

"Max, this is Sam and Dean, my brothers" Ashley admitted once she saw the look on Max's face being as the largest of the men had his arm draped around her shoulders. "Guys, this is Max, my boyfriend."

"Whoa Killer, bar keep and a boyfriend?" Dean asked with a smirk on his stubble ridden face.

"What? Surprised I could survive on my own without you on my 6?" Ashley spat back at Dean from under Sam's arm.

"Wanna beer guys?" Max asked trying to diffuse the tension her could see clearly written across Ashley's face.

Ashley insisted that her brothers stay in her and Max's apartment after their hunt. Max was weary about it, but he knew he shouldn't be feeling this way towards Ashley's family. Dean followed the Mustang back to a nice residential area and knew it was going to be hard on him to convince Ashley to come back on the road with them since she had made herself a new life outside of the one she was raised in.

"Sam" Dean said looking over to the passenger seat "do you think Ashley'll come back with us?"

"She might think twice, but I know she will give in" Sam grunted as he leaned down to lace his boots up before they pulled into the parking lot.
