We all sat around the kitchen table eating our burgers and talking. The guys were hilarious together. Liz and I didn't even seem to think about the fact that they were the same guy. This was crazy but it seemed so right. When lunch was over I stood to start picking up the dishes. "Hey babe Dean and I are going to check the perimeter. You girls hang out here and visit. Ok?", Dean said as he came up behind me at the sink. I turned in his arms to face him and planted a kiss on his luscious lips. "You boys be careful and we'll be right here when you two get back." Dean squeezed me and leaned down to kiss my neck. As he pulled away I saw that Liz and her Dean were snuggled up too. I smiled and turned back to the dishes.
When the guys were out the door Liz came and stood by me. She took the dishes from me as I washed and rinsed them and began drying them. "So I see you and Dean seem to be hitting it off. ", she says as she bumps my hip with hers and smiles teasingly. "You've got a lot of room to talk Mrs. Walking Outside in my Sheet!", I said as I flung water from my hand at her. "Ok so what's up? I expected me to jump in bed with Dean but I know you're more reserved than me.", I said looking sideways at Liz. She blushed prettily and answered, "I really can't explain it. Those eyes, he just mesmerizes you with them. And he's so confident and manly, not to mention that face that looks as if it's been kissed by God Himself!" "Oh God and that strong jawline and those freckles and his hands!", I began to squeal like a school girl. "Ok ok we've got to get a handle on ourselves!", Liz says giggling.
We spent the next hour finishing up the dishes, cleaning up the kitchen and sitting around talking. "Shouldn't the guys be back by now?", Liz said looking worried. "Yeah you would think so.", I answered and frowned. Getting up from the couch I went to the kitchen and looked out the window. I saw a dangerous looking man walking out of Liz's house and looking toward ours. "Liz get in the back room!", I yelled as I whirled around and went to the cabinet by the refrigerator and pulled out a deer rifle. I followed Liz quickly and slammed the door and locked it behind us. "What the hell?", Liz said with big eyes. "It's just in case we need it."I said as I chambered a shell. "And you know how to use that? How did you know it was in there?", Liz questioned. "Yes I know how to use this. My Daddy had one when we were growing up and Dean told me earlier when we were…ummm….in the kitchen!", I blushed slightly. "Nicole! In the kitchen?" "Yeah what can I say?", I shrugged.
Our conversation was interrupted when we heard the front door being kicked in. We rushed to the farthest corner of the bedroom and I put Liz behind me. It wouldn't take long for the intruder to figure out where we were with the door being closed. Suddenly we hear a quiet rap on the bedroom window. I look over and see both guys standing there. I motioned to Liz to stay behind me as we made our way to the window. Liz turned to open the window and her Dean hopped up onto the seal and swung his legs inside. He looked at me quizzically before moving around us. My Dean was at the window. "I'm going around to the window in the living room. I left it open so I know I can get in." I nodded and swallowed hard.
Dean went to the door and told us to stay back. He opened it slowly and peeked around the corner. A few seconds later my Dean must have made it through the living room window because we could hear a scuffling coming from in there and Dean burst out the door and into the living room. I shouldered the rifle and made my way toward the bedroom door to see what was going on. Both Dean's were struggling and I could see that one was bleeding on his cheekbone. Just as the attacker punched the other Dean and he went sprawling backward I stepped from the bedroom. "Stop or I pull the trigger!", I growled at the attacker. The guy just looked at me and started laughing. "I'm not scared of a woman! You probably don't even know what to do with that gun sweetling." I didn't notice that my Dean was kneeling on the floor behind the attacker doing something until there was a bright flash of light. I shielded my eyes and when I could finally take my arm from in front of my eyes and look the attacker was gone. My Dean was on the floor and I saw blood on his face and blood dripping from his hand. Liz rushed out of the bedroom and went to her Dean who was grimacing in pain. I ejected the shell from the chamber of the rifle that I was holding and rushed to where Dean was on the floor. "Baby are you ok?", I said worried about all the blood I saw. "I've dealt with worse. I guess I'll live.", Dean said and gave me a smart ass sideways grin.
I helped him to his feet and Liz had her arms wrapped around her Dean. I thought I saw a few tears. "Who the hell was that? Better yet what the hell was that?", I said looking from one Dean to the other. "That was an angel.", my Dean answered me. "I painted the sigil on the wall in my blood and sent him to wherever it is that angels go when we do that. What were you doing wielding my rifle?", he raised one eyebrow. "Well you told me it was there before and my Daddy taught me to shoot when I was a young girl. I saw the guy headed this way and he looked dangerous. I was trying to protect myself and Liz." Liz's Dean shook his head and said, "I'm glad you have this little one to deal with." He still had his arm protectively around Liz and was looking at us teasingly. Dean leaned close and kissed me. "Don't scare me like that again.", he said under his breath. "Don't worry about me. Why don't you just teach me about these bad things and let me help you?" "We'll have to talk about that later. Right now let's get this place cleaned up."
I followed Dean to the medicine cabinet and hopped up on the lavatory. I pulled him to me between my legs and started to clean his wounds. After dressing them I gently kissed each one before reaching up and taking his face in my hands. I looked into his eyes and lightly kissed his lips. Breaking away I looked back up at him and saw his eyes darken. "Not now big boy! We still have company!", I leaned over and bit his bottom lip and hopped off the lavatory and headed to the living room. I looked teasingly over my shoulder and saw Dean shake his head before running his hand through his mussed hair. This made me smile. Back in the living room Liz had also tended to her Dean's wounds and had began to scrub the blood sigil from the wall. I walked over and shut the window and started to pick up the couch cushions.
