AN: Thanks again to my reviewers: Mummabro, Innocence2652, winchesteritious, and Crimson92501 3 Now for a week of work for Cas.
He had managed to explain things to Dean in a manner that was not horribly embarrassing. It was, though, hard not to feel a tad annoyed at the behavior of his socially retarded friend. How many people have to deal with this sort of drama? You would think that this sort of thing would have ended in college.
He had busied himself with the documents that Gabe had returned to him that morning. The handoff of the documents happened with little fanfare. Basically, Cas had opened the door, Gabe had handed the papers over, and, just before he could make a not too witty joke, Cas closed the door in his face. All, in all, a good start to the morning.
"Hey, angel. You, me, early lunch today?" Cas looked up to see Anna lining the door frame of his office. Her grey pencil skirt and matching jacket set off her red hair in a way that was positively eye-catching.
Cas let out a slight whistle. "I do not look good enough to accompany you. You have court today?"
"Don't objectify me, Cas." She laughed, clearly not unhappy with the compliment. "Yeah, I am already done too. I am what you might call, winning."
"Wow, was that a Charlie Sheen reference, because even I know that that is old." Cas laughed at her.
"So, take this old gal to lunch. You can school me on all things pop culture." She smirked.
"Consider it done. What time?"
"Um, now. Way hungry. Fading fast." She pantomimed her death by starvation complete with stomach clutching and eye rolling.
"Fine, you win." Cas gathered a couple of things up on his desk then grabbed his phone to follow Anna out.
Lunch was largely just the two of them getting caught up. He shared with her some of the details about his weekend. He was not too detailed though, despite Anna's digging.
"Really, Cas I am the only single one left in the group. You must spill all the details. It is an act of the utmost importance."
"I am not sure just how disturbed I should be right now." Cas smiled at her as she picked at the remains of her lunch.
"Perfectly natural to want to hear about your friend's lovely weekend. Perfectly natural." She laughed. "Sorry though, I didn't mean that I needed all of the details. Although, would there be some censoring in your tale if you were to tell it?"
"Disturbing again." Then his phone buzzed. It was Dean.
Are you in your office today?
"Is that Dean messaging you?" Anna leaned over to investigate for herself.
Because Cas had the Gabe incident firmly in his head he quickly grabbed the phone off of the table and held it away from her. "Yes, I'm just going to reply."
I'll be back there in 15 minutes. I am out at lunch with Anna.
Perfect.
"What did he want?" She asked.
"I don't know. I think that he just wanted to know where I was. Odd."
"Well, we better get back, or actually, you better get back. I am calling it a day." Anna stretched out her arms and got up from the table. They each carried their bills up to the counter to pay and then headed out.
Cas paused at his desk to check in with his secretary and sent her off for her own lunch. They usually tried to stagger things so that someone could keep an eye on things. He wandered back into his office and took off his jacket. He was preparing to hang it on the back of his door when a knock came through.
He opened it to find Dean standing there like a deer in the headlights. "Uh, Dean. Is everything okay? What are you doing here?" He pulled Dean into the room and closed the door behind him.
"It takes twenty minutes to drive here from my uncle's and twenty minutes to drive back." Cas looked at Dean while he spoke, confusion blanketing his face. "It takes ten minutes to park and walk here. That's 50 minutes. I believe it will take less than ten minutes to walk back and exit the parking structure, maybe eight minutes."
"I am afraid that I don't understand why you are telling me this. Is everything okay?" Cas looked more worried.
"Shh, questions eat up time. I get an hour for lunch before Bobby starts freaking out. By my calculations I have exactly two minutes to explain all of this and to spend time not explaining." Dean winked at him then and then pressed him back against the wall. His hands moving up to Cas' face. "I'm going to kiss you now, and that will conclude the explanation portion of this lunch break for me." He angled Cas' head and leaned in to kiss him. Cas' hands moved up to the small of Dean's back and pulled him in. The kiss deepened and was rough with swift movements. He sent out a slight flick of his tongue and was greeted by Dean's parting lips. The press of Dean's body against his was causing his mind to swirl in all sorts of not-safe-for-work directions. He could feel Dean's chin grazing along his Adam's apple as he sucked a trail down his throat. He made his way back up and sucked at Cas' bottom lip, before backing away. The moment ending almost as swiftly as it had begun. "Yep, that didn't help at all."
"What!?" Cas' surprise was evident.
"That did not solve my problem at all. It likely made it worse."
"What is your problem?" Cas reached out a hand to him.
"You. I can't seem to focus on anything today. I thought that I could come here and get a little out of my system per se. But, you are going to prove too distracting." His lips turned up in a half smile as he turned for the door. "Gotta run. I am two minutes over my time. Bobby's gonna shit a brick. See ya." And like that he was out the door.
"Anytime." Cas shook a little with the adrenaline that now rocketed through him. At this rate, this week will not be easier than the last.
Review, Fav., Follow. You all just make my day with those little comments. I can't thank you enough. The comments are literally why I have kept writing. Without them I would have stopped many chapters ago.
