After Seth spent a couple of hours with Roman watching some college football, he was tired and it was getting late, too. Therefore he decided he should go back to his room and, even though he knew he wouldn't try to fall asleep immediately, he liked the idea of him lying on the soft bed covered with warm blanket. But when Seth opened the door to get into what was his and also Dean's hotel room, he was surprised by the view. He straight away forgot about how exhausted he was and couldn't help but smile.

Dean was sitting on the bed with Renee sitting opposite him, both with crossed legs, and they seemed to be playing some card game. They looked happy and focused so at first they didn't even notice Seth walking in.

"Am I interrupting?" he asked softly.

Dean and Renee turned their heads to see the newcomer.

"Nope," Dean uttered.

"Dean and I were just playing poker," Renee explained him.

"Actually, it's called heads up poker when there are only two people," Dean corrected her.

Renee looked at him the way that made him doubt his dominance, and she showed that she was doing her best but she couldn't remember everything.

"Oh, I didn't know you could play poker, Renee," Seth said.

"It's heads up poker," she tried to prove them her ability to learn quickly.

"In this case it's okay to say just poker, darling," Dean laughed and gently stroked her knee what gave her shivers.

Unlike Dean, Seth noticed that and wondered if something happened between those two earlier.

"As you see, I'm just learning. Dean was teaching me."

"And you're doing really well," he complimented her. "But you should practice more."

"I believe Divas don't play poker, do they? So you probably couldn't play with them," Seth entered the conversation again. "But remember, Renee, you can always come to us. Right, Dean?" He looked at him and then at Renee to make sure she saw what he was doing.

"Of course, anytime. Our door is always open. Or . . ." He paused when he realized he could not mean it literally. "We will always open it for you," he added jokingly.

"Thanks, guys. But I'll think this was enough poker for at least a week. I'm gonna take off, I guess you want to go to bed, Seth." She uncrossed her legs and stood up. Then she stretched a little because she was in the same position for quite some time and felt stiff. When she was about to walk toward the door, Dean reached for her hand and took it. Then he used it to pull her closer to him so that he could hug her goodbye while still sitting on his bed.

"Goodnight," he whispered into her ear, and that gentle behavior toward Renee confused poor Seth even more. He was dying to find out what was going on.

"Bye, Renee." Seth smiled at her, still in an amazement.

When the door closed, Dean stood up. Even though Seth was craving to ask Dean certain questions, and now he had a chance, he didn't. If nothing happened between him and Renee, that conversation could get awkward. Fortunately for him, Dean decided to take a shower right after Renee left. So when Dean headed for the bathroom, Seth didn't take his time, he quickly abandoned the room and ran after Renee who was walking in the direction of the elevators. Seth reached her just before she could enter one to get on the floor where her room was located.

"Renee," he called after her.

She turned around to see him breathing loudly, even though he was in top condition and the short distance he had to run could not tire him.

"Seth." She sighed. "Did I forget something in your room?" she wondered as she checked the stuff she was holding in her hands and thinking if it was everything. But she was sure that she didn't bring with her nothing more than a green sweater, card into her room, and her phone.

"No, I don't think so," Seth replied. "I just needed to know if you two got intimate prior to my arrival or not." He did not consider that sentence inappropriate at all.

"Oh," she gasped.

"So?" Seth wouldn't let it go even when he could see she would prefer not talking about it. As always.

"No," she told him. "Actually," she decided to tell him more, "I gave it some thinking and realized that the best thing to do would be not to do anything."

"I don't understand."

"You see, I'm trying to convince myself that I don't really want to be with him and that it's not something that I need to do."

"You are going to fail. Big time," Seth announced to her.

"Maybe. But maybe not," she opposed.

"Ok," he said, but didn't really believe that it was a good idea. "How do you plan to accomplish it anyway?"

"Well, to start with, I have a date tomorrow."

Renee anticipated Seth's surprised look that followed her revelation. He couldn't believe his ears. She has evidently been interested in his teammate, he could clearly see that she wanted to get together with him, and suddenly she believed that the best solution for her problems was not talking to Dean about her feelings for him but instead throwing them out the window and looking for somebody new to fill Dean's place? Seth felt kind of sorry for that person who was certainly a rebound guy.

"You cannot do that," Seth exclaimed.

"Why not?" she asked him. "I'm not in a relationship with Dean, he's not in love with me, and I deserve to be happy, don't I?"

"Well, yeah. . . ." He tried to find a way to counter her argument. "Yes, of course you do, but you don't know for sure that Dean's not in love with you. He might feel the same as you do, for all you know. I mean, you know what I saw when I entered that room?" he posed her a question which he didn't wait for an answer to. "I saw two people who cared about each other, enjoying the time they were spending together, having fun. But it wasn't the same as what you see when you look at two friends. It was different. There was more. At that moment I thought, I was almost sure, that something happened between you two. I don't know, maybe you cuddled, maybe you kissed. There was evidently tension and I could say that both of you wanted to stop whatever you were doing and get all over each other."

Renee listened to Seth carefully and wondered if it were true. When she was next to Dean, she did feel that way, she wanted to touch him. But she couldn't tell what was going on Dean's mind. Was he thinking the same or did he see it as two friends bonding, having a good time playing poker?

Renee swallowed loudly. Her good mood was gone. She understood that she couldn't spend time with Dean and pretend everything was the way it should be. She wanted him. She wished she knew what he felt but she was too scared to start that conversation. It was bad enough when she was talking to Seth about it, and it would be ten times worse when it would be Dean standing in front of her.

"I should tell him, shouldn't I?" Renee asked. Seth nodded and then hugged her to comfort her and make her feel better. She rested her head on his chest and he caressed her soft long hair. They stayed in that motionless position for a couple of minutes before they parted and went their separate ways.

Seth returned to his room and quickly fell asleep while Renee spent most of the night trying to figure out what to do next. She had to talk to Dean and it was something she did not look forward too. She decided she would do it eventually though, just not yet.
