Hello again my darlings. So I would like to thank rainystv for the wonderful review.
So here we go next bit. I hope you like it. I had to go back and watch Hammer of the Gods to make sure I was getting it right (well that's my excuse at any rate and I'm sticking to it.)
Anyroad enjoy.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my little imagined world.
For the last two days Kali had jumped every time her phone rang, and now on Saturday morning she was pissed. Gabriel hadn't called her. He had said he would and yet he hadn't, surely if he wanted her back as much as he claimed he would have rung by now, or sent a text, anything. But no, he was Mr no communication. Maybe he was just trying to get close to her for another reason? (No.) Maybe it was because he wanted the business? But no, the Gabriel she knew would never use her like that. But then again that had been 15 years ago. Was it possible that he had changed so much in that time? (NO.) Did he even really care for her? (Yes.) Damn it she was going to kill him. She was going to say no if he asked her out then kill him. Damn the man. And damn her for her weakness.
These were the thoughts going through her head as she made her slow way up the street to The Bakery. She was fed up with the questions and the waiting, it was her turn to confront him. He couldn't do this to her. He couldn't make her like him again and then just drop her. She wouldn't let him. Oh no, not this time. This time she was the one calling the shots. With that she flung open the door to The Bakery startling the young Asian man behind the counter.
"Um, hello can I help you?" Kevin asked unsure. The only person he had ever seen enter The Bakery like that was Gabriel himself.
"Where is he?" Kali demanded, she had no time to be polite she was on the war path. (Oh dear.)
"Who?" Kevin asked cautiously.
"Gabriel." She spat his name in contempt. The worm that he was wasn't even here to greet her. (A little unfair there Kali. He didn't know you were coming.)
"He's in the back I'll just go-" Kevin started only to be cut off by Kali moving round the counter.
With a "don't bother." Over her shoulder she made her way to the kitchen in the back. Of course Gabriel was in the damn kitchen when he should have been calling her. Not that she would have said yes to a date after all this time damn it.
It was with these thoughts she stormed into the kitchen only to be brought up short by the image in front of her. There was Gabriel cooking, not baking but actual cooking, and he was singing One Direction's 'What Makes You Beautiful' off key while doing so. But the most startling thing in Kali's mind was the butterfly clips he had in his hair. What the hell? (Oops.)
"Gabriel." She said coldly.
Gabriel had spent an hour looking up pregnancy and decided that the best idea was to make Jess a simple clean broth filled with goodness and so he had started to prepare the most succulent chicken broth he could imagine in the hopes she could keep it down. He was happy cooking, it kept his mind of off the Kali situation. He knew he had to call her. And he knew the longer he took the more pissed she would get but he was, for the first time in his life, unsure of himself. He really didn't know what she would say. And he felt it better not knowing than having to live with her turning him down. He couldn't take that. Not after the amazing night they had had together. It was like old times and he loved every minute of it. Even if it did remind him of what he had left behind. It was still awesome. And so he put Kali from his mind and concentrated on cooking, singing under his breath and doing the occasional dance move as he was prone to do when no was around to watch him. He was just preparing to do a little shuffle when he heard her behind him, saying his name in a tone that could freeze fire.
"Gabriel."
"Kali." He gulped startled spinning round to face her. "What are you doing here?" He asked still startled.
"What's this? Gabriel Novak decided he doesn't want to see me now? Wow this seems rather familiar." Kali replied sarcasm dripping from her lips as she advanced into the kitchen.
"Kali, no it's not like that." Gabriel tried really hard to explain. He knew she would be pissed but this was a whole other level of pissed.
"Then what is it like Gabriel hmm? Why haven't you called me?" Kali screeched at him and Gabriel had had enough. Without thought he yelled back at her. (Oh dear.)
"I was scared you'd say no, okay!"
"What?" Kali asked in disbelief. She couldn't of heard right, surely Gabriel didn't think-? Really? her turning him down sacred him? She couldn't quite get her head around it. (It's true bless him.)
"You heard. I'm not saying it again." Gabriel grumbled going red as he realised what he had just admitted to her. Damn her of getting his back up.
"You really are an idiot." Kali said in a disbelievingly tone shaking her head at him. Out of all the reasons she had imagined for him not calling her, that had never once crossed her mind. They were after all talking about Gabriel.
"Yeah I think we've covered that." Gabriel replied smiling at her and slowly walking towards where she was standing.
"True. So what now?" Kali asked pulling herself together from the startling revelation.
"That depends, if I ask you out will you say yes?" Gabriel asked making his way round the island in the middle of the kitchen to stand in front of her.
"You'll have to ask to find that out." Kali replied softly looking up into his eyes.
"No I don't." Gabriel smirked at her.
"Excuse me?" she asked but before she could say anymore Gabriel had grabbed her and pulled her into his arms then encircled her with them.
"Tonight you and me. No arguments, and this is a date." He said in a no nonsense tone, his face inches from her own.
"Fine." Kali replied breathlessly. It had been so long since she had his arms around her, she was feeling a bit light headed from all the sensations that where coursing through her body at the feel of it pressed against his. And then there was his smell. His cologne was surrounding her. It was one she would always associate with him. Her senses where going into ecstasy over it all. (Yeah I bet, mine would be too.)
"Good." Gabriel said softly leaning towards her as if to kiss her but Kali's mind had finally caught up with what was happening and as such she managed to put her hand up and place a finger on his lips stopping their course to hers.
"Sorry Gabriel, but I don't kiss people with butterfly clips in their hair." She said smirking up at him as he turned bright red once again and quickly moved to remove them.
"That better?" He asked pulling her back into his arms.
"I'm still not going to kiss you." Kali said smiling up at him making Gabriel sigh. He knew it had been too good to be true. But at least he still had her in his arms. It had been too long since he had had this.
"I know." He replied in a whisper and instead of kissing her lips as he truly wished to he pressed the kiss to her forehead. "I love you Kali. But you do have the ability to turn my world upside down and make me question myself." He said rest his forehead against hers and looking deep into her eyes.
"Good, someone needs to." Kali replied smiling at him and raising her hand to stroke his cheek.
"Yeah I guess." He huffed at her.
"I think whatever your cooking is about to burn." Kali said conversationally, making Gabriel jump away from her and back to the hob with an exclamation of "shit."
"So what are you making?" Kali asked leaning on the island once it seemed that Gabriel had got it back under control.
"Something for a friend." Was his elusive answer making Kali narrow her eyes at him.
"That's all you'll tell me?" she asked with a dangerous tone of voice.
"I've been sworn to secrecy." Gabriel replied innocently.
"Gabriel." She growled making him chuckle before he replied.
"Fine Dean's sister-in-law Jess is pregnant and she's having a rough time of it. I'm making her something that I hope she can keep down."
At that Kali smiled softly at him with love shining from her eyes confusing the hell out of Gabriel. What had he said to cause that sort of reaction? (Well now, you just too darn sweet my boy.)
"What?" he asked completely confused.
"I've never seen this side of you." Kali replied still smiling at him.
"You've seen me cooking plenty of times Kali." Gabriel said frowning.
"That's not what I meant." Kali replied with a shake of her head and that damn smile that he couldn't explain, though it was fast having the ability to bewitch him.
"Then what did you mean?" he asked smiling back at her. He couldn't help himself. This moment was perfect.
"This family side. All the time I knew you it was just you. You never talked about your family and now here you are with a whole new one." Kali explained.
"Yeah well the Winchesters are rather hard to resist." Gabriel replied with a chuckle at the thought of the comedy act that was Sam and Dean.
"Is that so?" Kali smirked at him making him roll his eyes.
"Not in that way. At least not for me, Cassie is obviously different. I just meant there family, it's so close. And it seems Dean has decided I'm part of it too." Gabriel replied, though he still couldn't work out when Dean went from being scared of him to thinking him family.
"You are." Kali said with an authoritative voice and a nod of her head.
"I like to think so." He answered with a shrug and a soft smile.
"Okay well I'm going to go do some work and contemplate my stupidity at agreeing to go out with you tonight." Kali finally said pulling her eyes away from Gabriel. She knew if she didn't leave now she never would. She had always loved watching him work, it was a marvel to behold.
"On a date." Gabriel sing songed at her making her roll her eyes.
"On a date." She repeated.
"I'll pick you up at 7.30, no standing on the sidewalk this time." Gabriel said pointing his finger at her.
"Fine, but I won't buzz you up." She smirked in reply.
"I can live with that. See you late Kali-ko." Gabriel said with a smile at her as he used the pet name he had used for her so long ago.
"Until tonight Gabriel." With that Kali quickly made her way to his side and placed a gentle kiss to his cheek before she left the kitchen with a massive smile on her face matched only by the one Gabriel wore as he watched her walk out. Once she was gone he picked up his hair clips and put them back in. He had a feeling he wouldn't be wearing butterfly clips in his kitchen any more. (Finally, there going on a real date.)
