Dean's greed eyed monster comes out a little in this chapter but fear not all will be well :-)
Jess stood in the doorway of the bathroom in an extremely fitted red floor length dress, her chest filling the top of the dress and it clinging to her stomach and hips. And a pair of high black heels peeking out of the bottom of the dress. Dean's brain shut down, Son of a bitch...she looks...she looks...well shit she looks fucking edible.
Sam was the first to recover, "What uh...where...how?" he stuttered, finding it hard not to appreciate how well Jess pulled that dress off.
Jessie sighed and held her hand out to Charley who tried to place a coat in her hand, the boys barely registered that it passed through her hands, Jessie having to exaggerate the move a few times. Sam saw it first and basically had the same reaction as Charley and he reached for Jess breathing a sigh of relief when he caught her arm.
Dean was still finding it very hard to focus, when she moved to grab the coat the split up the side of the dress revealed her leg right to the top of her thigh. "Dean..." Sam shook his shoulder "Dude?..."
"What?" he asked distractedly, "Oh, uh ye...how did this happen? And where did you get that?" He point to the dress.
"It was just there on the back of the door after I finished in the shower, I went to pick up my own stuff and my hand passed thought it" Jess sighed pissed off beyond belief that some magic mumbo jumbo has picked on her again.
Dean was still finding it hard to concentrate, jesus it's like glued to her in all the right place's...shit think of something else, clearing his throat after a few minutes of thinking about dinging graves he tried to come up with something to say.
"I got nothing to explain...this"
Sam nodding along with him, Charley had a thought full expression on her faces
"What?" Jess asked her
"Is it just me or is that the exact same dress as the film cartoon character Jessica Rabbit?" Charley said, Jessie's eye widened and she looked down at herself
"It fucken is baby girl...when I get this fucker with a movie fixation I'm gonna kick his ass" she fumed crossing her arms over her chest. Sam politely looked away and cleared his throat, Charley motioning for her to uncross her arms, Jess looked again and saw that her boobs looked even bigger when she did that.
"What am I going to do? I can't walk around like this" dropping her arms
Dean looked thoughtful for a second "I don't see a problem with it"
"You don't see a problem with me walking outside for people to gawk at me in this dress at 10am in the morning?" Jess asked smartly, Charley couldn't help but mess with Dean a little.
"Everyone would see her figure in that dress, geez Jessie I'll bet you would even need to buy anything for yourself, remember how all those guys were yesterday?"
Dean's eyes widened and a wave possessiveness went through him "Ye actually you should stay in here, all day. Until we find a way to cover what you're wearing or kill whatever is causing this" he nodded firmly turning to grab his keys "We'll get going...start with the station, you stay here" he pointed to Jessie.
"I'm not sitting around doing nothing, look as much as I hate it, drop me off at the library and I can do research on the town history. I'm not sitting locked in the room for another case because some magical ass hole decided to get trigger happy on me" Jess walked to the table intent on moving the gun out of the way to pick up the paper and her hand passed through the gun. Sam saw her freeze, "What?..."
"I can't pick up the poxy gun" she growled
"That settles it, you're staying indoors" Dean stated
"Eh what?..." Jess growled again, making it even harder for Dean to concentrate, no she needs to stay in, I'll get nothing done.
"You can't hold a weapon, so it'll be safer for you to stay in"
"Ha...no, I'm not. And I can defend myself just fine without a weapon, you know that"
Sam and Charley decided to stay out of this argument though both of them could see where Jessie was coming from, she was frustrated and at least this time it wasn't the fact that she could physically move stopping her from helping.
"Look, I'm not staying stuck in a room when we haven't even made any head way on the case, so either you drop me to the library or I'll walk" Jess smiled icily
"You're so goddamn stubborn" Dean fumed
Jessie strolled to the door and went to open it, but to her horror her hand passed through it, "Noooo...No way" she went back to the bathroom door and was able to open that. Dean saw an opportunity and took it grabbing Sam and Charley and hustling them out of the room before closing the motel door behind, leaving Jess inside.
"Dean Winchester you open this door right now" she slapped her hand against the door.
Dean grimaced knowing Jess would kill later when she got her hand on him but if it kept her safe he didn't care. "She's gonna kill you, you know that right?" Charley said
"I know but if it keeps her safe. We move quick today with everything we have to do and bring stuff from the library back here. Some food too, she might not kill me then"
"Ye right" Sam breathed
"Just get in the car"
Jessie watched from the window as they got in the car and fecken left her there, fuming she stomped to the bed and sat down. That was completely over board, no need for it. I would have been in a public library for fuck sake, in the middle of the day. Jessie fumed, her mind working over drive to figure out why she could open the bathroom door and not the front. She snatched up Sam's laptop and Googled Jessica Rabbit's movie scene's, watching through all of them and picking at the lines being said. One of the characters mentioned something off hand about a lady having someone to open door for them, Jess had an idea and used the rooms phone to call the front office.
"Reception" the man on the other end answered
"Hi there, I'm terribly sorry to cause such a fuss but it seems my door is not opening from the inside and I'm stuck in my room. Is there any chance you could bring the spare room key and try from the outside for me?" she asked sweetly
"What room?" the voice answered gruffly
"Room 17, thank you"
Waiting for the guy to come open the door Jessie noticed that a black fitted leather jacket had appeared on the back of one of the kitchen chairs. Deciding it best that she not go out without some sort of cover over her shoulders and back she grudgingly reached for the coat only slightly relieved when she could pick it up, but more freaked out that whoever this was knew she needed one. She heard the door lock jiggle, grabbed some cash and quickly went to stand by the door covering the salt as best she could. Of course as soon as the guy seen her he didn't notice any salt, his mouth dropped and he stuttered, he was young, probably the owners son.
"Oh thank you so much..." Jess gushed stepping out of the room "My roommate must have locked it. Would you mind seeing if it locks now?" Jess being careful not to touch in case her hand went through.
"Ye...ye of course...really sorry about that...it..it shouldn't have got stuck" he locked the room door and turned beaming to Jess, she felt a little bad using him and he was only about 16.
"Brilliant, could have just been me having a little blonde moment, can I borrow that key?" She smiled at him again, flashing him all her teeth. A blush rose to his cheeks and he handed the key over with no question.
"Oh and I don't mean to be a bother but..."
"You're no bother, is there something else I can help with" he reassured quickly
"If you wouldn't mind helping me flag down a cab, that would be great?"
"No problem, I'll call one from the office for you" he was an eager little thing but she smiled kindly at him anyway and followed him to the front office waiting outside for the cab. He chatted easily with her seeming to get more confident the more he realise Jess was not going to tell him to piss off. The cab arrived within five minute and the cabby stared at Jess from his place in the driving seat, then jumped out of the front and ran to open the back side door.
"I can assume the cab is for you Miss?" he asked flustered, and received a glare from the young 16 year old. Jess turned to the young man and gave him a pat on the shoulder and a sweet smile, "Thanks hunny, you're a doll" she winked, noticing his posture slump slightly, with that she slid into the back of the cab. Hmmm, this waiting hand and foot thing isn't bad...bit too much though, it would annoy me most of the time.
The cabby talked enthusiastically to Jess, she nodded and smiled where appropriate watching the roads and streets as they drove by, she saw the Impala parked in a cramped little car park near one of those shop her and Charley had investigated yesterday.
"Excuse me, but could you drop me here, I just remembered I need something in the shop?"
"Of course Miss...I could wait outside then take you on to the library...I'll stop the meter?" he babbled pulling into the side of the road.
"Not at all, this is perfect for me" she paid the fare "would you mind helping me with the door?"
He practically dived out of the car barely missing an oncoming car in the other direction, Jess frown, oh shit, that wasn't good. Jess plastered a smile on her face and thanked the cabby, making sure to tell him to be careful getting back in the car. Jessie crossed the road to the Impala, traffic literally stopping for her and people staring she even got a few whistles. She figured that they were in the shop to the left of the street looking into the gun shot accident. Smirking to herself and edging to get Dean back she decided to have a little fun with the looks she was getting, moving to the front of the Impala, facing the street she hopped up on the hood and crossed her legs. Leaning back, the spilt on her dress opening enough to show off a lot of leg and waited for Sam, Dean and Charley to come out of the shop and back to the car.
Charley was feed up listening to people talk so passionately about the shit that was happening in this town, it's like it didn't even matter people had gotten hurt or killed. So she told Sam and Dean she would wait outside. When she stepped outside taking deep breaths to chase away the head ache she was getting Charley noticed that practically everyone in the street had stopped walking and were staring at something to the right of the shop down a few yards. It was creepy people, men in particular were just standing there and cars were slowing down. She knocked on the window of the shop not really taking her eyes off the scene, until she caught Sam and Dean's attention and she motioned for them to come outside.
"What's up?" Sam asked
Charley just point in the direction of the weird behaviour and looked at the two brothers, they were frowning as well, "Isn't that where the Impala is?" Sam said, Dean smiled smugly.
"Finally people who actually appreciate a classic" he smiled
"I'm going to be nosey" Charley said leaving the two brothers outside the shop she walked the few feet to the corner and stopped dead, mouth agape.
"What, they're not staring at my car? There's hardly anything better there to look at" Dean snarked.
"Oh there is definitely something better to look at" Charley's face broke out into a full smile.
Curious Sam and Dean walked up to Charley and stopped dead, there on the hood of the Impala, looking like a frecken pin up was Jessie. Legs crossed and on display, leaning back and when she saw her group a slow smirk tilting her lips one brow arching in satisfaction at their faces. Charley was the first to move over to her, Dean having trouble talking his dick out off getting hard and really struggling not to grab Jessie and claim her in front of all these fucken men, that image is going to be burned into my mind for the rest of my life. Finally he felt pissed at her.
"What the hell are you doing? " Dean fumed when he reached her, blocking her from as many people view as possible.
"I told you not to leave me in that room, you should have listened" still with the smirk on her face and still...sitting on the hood of the car.
"Get off the car, I'm taking you back to the motel now!" Dean stressed
"No you're not, you've only been out for an hour so there's no way you've gone to the library. I had nowhere to put a phone so I was just letting you know where I'll be" With that she hopped off the hood and was going to start strolling to the library.
"How did you get out of that room babe?" Charley asked impressed anew with Jessie resourcefulness, Sam feeling the same.
"I did some research on Jessica Rabbit and there was this character in the film that made an offhand comment about a lady needing someone to open her doors. So I found someone to open my doors, that's my theory and it's working so far" she beamed.
"Nice" Sam smiled, then ducked out of the way of Deans jab
"What do you mean found someone...what did you do?"
"I asked nicely" Jess answered slowly, Dean basically saw red.
"So what slut yourself around to get people to do stuff for you?" he seethed jealousy making him irrational, Sam and Charley gasped at the way Dean was speaking to Jess.
Jessie's stare turned dark "Whatever crawled up your ass and died get rid of it before you talk to me again. And say something like that to me again and we'll have a serious problem. I'm going to the library" Jessie turned and strutted off, Charley shooting Dean a nasty look and a smack to the back of the head before following, having to run a bit to keep up with Jessie pissed off stride.
Dean sighed admitting to himself that he shouldn't have said that, "Ah shit" he leaned against the car and ran a hand through his hair, watching Jess and Charley walk off.
"You're an idiot" Sam stated
"I know" he groaned "Come on we better go after them"
"You know he didn't mean it babe, he was just worried about you and lashed out. Dean wouldn't know how calling you that hits a nerve" Charley was trying to calm Jessie down, trying to reason with her because what Dean said was fucking hurtful.
"How could he even think that about me, I mean seriously, he had no right. It's not like I fucken picked this out to wear this morning. I wouldn't have had to ask anyone to open a fucking door for me if he hadn't of been so stubborn and let me come with you guys...Ugh!"
Charley was able to recognise that Jessie was too pissed to talk down and just walked with her to the library. Sam and Dean had jogged to catch up with them and reached them as they walked into the library. Sam smiled a little when Charley spotted them, she smiled back but gave Dean a fierce look. Dean sighed again, "Damn it, pissed Charley off too" he whispered to Sam.
Sam motioned to Charley with his head trying to give Dean the chance alone with Jessie, she looked uncertainly towards Jess who was skimming through the spins of the books in the town history section. She went over to the two brothers shooting Dean a pissed look again but speaking to him anyway
"I don't think now is a good time for you to finish off whatever it is you are going to say. She's pissed Dean, you fucked up and you'll need more than the 'I was protecting you bid' on your side"
"I know I shouldn't have said what I did I was annoyed and..." he was going to say jealous but "...and worried, with so many people looking at her I got paranoid" Charley snorted.
"You can tell yourself that but I saw you block her from everyone else Dean...you were jealous, and to be honest that won't fly with Jessie either"
"Look, I want to say I'm sorry, we're on a case now is not the time for stupid fights" Dean walked over to Jessie his heart hammering, him and Sam had never had any sort of fight with either of the girls so this was new territory.
"Jess, I shouldn't have said what I said. I'm sorry. Can we just leave it behind us and forget about it?" Dean asked, he had stuffed his hands in his pocket and was barely keeping eye contact, he felt like shit for even think Jess would behave like that, I mean him off all people had no right to say something like that.
Jessie anger drained, he was right they were on a case but still for him even think she would slut herself out for people to fucking open a door was...she sighed and her shoulders slumped, eh know what, I'm not gonna get into this with myself, she let go of her anger but the hurt was still there.
She turned to Dean, "Fine...we'll leave it at that" she handed him a book on the towns lore and took another two for herself before going over and sitting down. At first Dean felt relief that Jessie was just letting it go, but then he saw the look on her face...she was hurt, damn it.
Charley and Sam went to join Jess, she just concentrated on her book.
"Is someone not going to talk to the sheriff? She asked quietly, causing a flash of hurt to go through Dean at her subtle attempt to get rid of him but before he could get up Charley spoke out
"Me and Sam will go, you guys have already started to read" Sam took the keys off the car from Dean and he flashed an encouraging smile at Dean eyes motioning to Jess.
Dean flicked through the book she had handed him not really play attention but looking at Jess from the corner of his eye, even in the library she was getting stared at. He felt no jealously this time because Jess was ignoring all of the attention and come to think of it she was ignoring all of it outside as well, only having eyes for them. He felt like an ass.
After a few minutes of reading Jessie straighten in her chair, grabbing Dean's attention. He leaned over closely a tiny bit relieved thinking Jess would just move away from him "What?..."
"There was a series of weird event in this town a hundred years ago, same as now and it was said to be the work of the warlock in the castle on the hillside. We passed a castle on the way into town it looks refurbished, what if he's back? You and Sam said they can choose not to age? Say's here it all stopped when a young girl went missing and was never found. Story says she was taken"
Snapping the book closed Dean flipped out his cell to call Sammy, to come and pick them up from the library. Jessie went to stow the books away and waited at the doors for Dean, who opened the door for her. She hasn't looked at me since... Dean sighed, again noticing how Jessie walked tall and confident despite the stares still ignoring them. They stood in awkward silence until the Impala pulled up.
"What you guys find?" Sam asked not missing the tension still in the air between Jessie and Dean when they slide into the back of the car, Jessie filled them in.
"Ok so we go check out this castle?" Charley asked
"If someone lives there now we better leave actually checking it out till later, but maybe drive around it for a bit anyway?" Jess suggested
"Sounds like a plan" Said Sammy, him and Charley shared a look. Charley could see Jess was more upset now than anything else, her eyes were always her give away because if you looked at her, in spite of what she's wearing she would look calm and confident, it's one of the things that made her such a good fighter.
The castle was about 30 minutes out, when they got there they drove around the land surrounding the castle and the two boys going to scope out the wooded area around the back. Charley turned around in the front seat to talk to Jessie, "You doing ok babe?"
Jessie sighed, feeling even more drained than she felt she would have considering she was another supernatural target.
"I know he doesn't know, but he still shouldn't have said that. I mean I know we all banter and it get a little raunchy every now and then but...ye know what doesn't matter, nice to know what way I come off to him now" she knew she was being irrational about there was no other way at the minute to take out her frustration and hurt.
"Ah Jess, that's not what he thinks about you at all and you know that. He over reacted and I gave him a slap for it. But believe me Jess he doesn't see you that way. You are so blind when it comes to people liking you do you know that?" she said affectionately, Jessie just squirmed. Charley reached across and tugged her arm teasingly, "Jessie...Jessie..."
"Ok, ok I get it...I'm over it, pissy mood gone...promise. He looks like someone kicked his puppy anyway" Jess smiled a little. The boys came back and curled themselves into the car "Nothing unusual, no EMF reading or marking we could see...back gate to the property has all overgrown Ivy on it doesn't look likes it been used in years"
"So what we wait till its dark?" Charley guessed
"Yup" answered Dean, dreading the awkward silence that was going to settle on the car, my fault, he reminded himself. He chanced a look at Jessie, forgetting himself and staring for a few minutes she caught him and held his eyes and smiled, her faces softening, his shoulders slumped relieved. He hadn't realized how worked up he was over Jessie being upset because of him. A little bit on the teenage side of things but he stretched himself as much as he could in the back nudging his foot against Jessie's she nudged back knowing full well what he was doing. Sam raised a hopeful brow and Charley and she winked back, the tension in the car eased.
"So what film exactly was this Jessica Rabbit in? Cause I sure haven't seen it" Dean asked both girls smiling, ironically it being one of their favourite films to watch one some of their girls nights in. Charley turned so she had her back to her door Sam doing the same as much as he could.
"It's one of those film that are ye know real people but have cartoon characters, they live in this place called Looney town and can all go to and from their worlds" Charley chatted animatedly "Jessica Rabbit is this new age sex symbol that struts around in heels and basically the dress Jess is wearing." Charley smirked
"We watched it all the time, although I always found it so weird that she was married to an actual rabbit" Jess said "He makes me laugh" she imitated in a sensual voice causing Charley to laugh.
"Wait...she was a person person or cartoon person..." Sam asked
"Cartoon person, she sang at a club and wanted to help clear her hubby's name because he was being framed for murdered" Charley explained "but no one took her serious because she was drop dead gorgeous and had married well...a rabbit"
"The name of the film is who framed Rodger Rabbit. Love that song she does" Jessie hummed
"It is never better than when we were getting carried away and staging it with Miss Jessica Rabbit in the living Room" Charley quipped
"And what song is that?" Dean asked cheekily, ready to take a mental note.
"Why don't you do right, Etta Jane does a deadly version but Jessica Rabbits it just so..."
"Hot" supplied Jessie
"Ye" agreed Charley
"We're watching that film when this is all over" Dean stated firmly
"Remember that time our two brothers walk in on us..." Jessie smiled fondly and Charley laughed.
"We didn't see them at first, they would go to the gym together and they had a key so..."
Jessie snorted out a laugh, "I'm so surprised there was no video posted on fucken youtube"
"You and me using the remotes as mic's and thinking we were sex on legs..." Charley giggled, Sam and Dean now laughing with them
"In our pyjama's, gas stuff" Jess added
Conversation trailed off and Jessie absently minded hummed why don't you do right quietly for a few minutes, Dean straining to hear her over the radio's music.
Review?
