DJ's Got Us Fallin' in Love Again-Usher
So we back in the club
With the bodies rockin from side to side, side, side toside
Thank God the week is done
I feel like a zombie gone back to life, back,back tolife
Hands up, and suddenly we all got our hands up
No control of my body
Ain't I seen you before?
I think I remember those eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes
Cause baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
"Hey Jo! Are you ready to go? Come on…we're going to be late and you know who is going to be very upset with us…" Dean called through the door.
Jo grimaced at his voice but still kept throwing clothes through the air as she desperately searched for something to wear. First chance she got, she needed to hit the mall. But oh how she didn't really like to shop.
"Jo?" Dean's voice came through the door again. "We're really going to be late…can I come in?"
She sighed and ran a hand nervously through her tousled locks. "Yeah."
His head peeked in the door and within seconds, he was standing inside her room, smirking at the disaster area.
"Wow…it kinda looks like a tornado went through here or something…" He observed.
She sent him an evil glare and held up two tops. "Which one?"
His eyebrows rose in surprise. "I thought you and the girls had out picked something already."
She scowled and held up the horrid skirt dangling from her finger. "Well I had planned to wear this. But after thinking about it..there is absolutely no way in hell I am going to wear a skirt. I don't even think I'd know how to walk in one.."
"Once a tomboy, always a tomboy,"he nodded with a big smirk on his face. "I suppose I see your point…could be entertaining for us guys though."
She stuck out her tongue at him. "Funny..maybe I could wear this shirt if I wore a tank top underneath it…"
He laughed again and shook his head. "Well, I suggest you make up your mind soon because we need to get going."
Jo groaned in frustration and winced. "Alright, alright…just give me a minute."
After he quickly shut her door behind him, she hurried threw on the first black tank top she could find, then that stupid transparent top that she'd bought on a whim but hadn't worn, and then she settled on a pair of dark form-fitting jeans and her favourite black strappy heels.
Dean and Jo sat in silence during the ride in the Impala. They hadn't had much to talk about since the weekend before but to his credit, when they did interact, he seemed to be much easier to handle. She figured he was just keeping his distance after everything that had happened and she couldn't blame him for that. Their conversation in her bedroom had been their first real conversation since he had been bailed out of jail and if anything, it had been fairly pleasant.
Becky practically tackled them when they walked into the club. "You're here! Yay!"
"Yep, we're finally here." Jo said laughing.
"Oh, Deanl?" Ruby called, "I wanted to tell you that your man-whoring is to be put on hold tonight. You are not allowed to pick up any women this evening, per Bela."
The girls giggled when they heard Dean's exasperated sigh behind them.
"Ah! I am so…happy right now!"Bela shrieked when she saw them. "This is going to be the best night ever…I've already had three shots! Hahaha!"
When her eyes surveyed Jo' s outfit, Bela's lips curled downward. "Joanna? I thought you were wearing the skirt I gave you for your birthday…Jeans…seriously? I'm hurt."
"You'll live." Jo said smiling. "Besides I have my favourite strappy heels on that you gave me."
Bela's good mood faltered a bit when she saw Meg on Castiel's arm "Meg, who invited you?"
Meg laughed good naturedly "It's lovely to see your British finishing school manners are still intact, Miss Talbot."
Bela's eyes narrowed before Michael took her hand and shook his head softly. He smiled at her and she forgot all about Meg.
"Tequila…all around!" Gabriel said slapping his hand down on the bar catching the attention of the bartender.
"Ooo wait, make sure to get salt and limes too," his date, Naomi, called out behind him, jumping up and down beside him at the bar.
"Just for the girls, Garth…we men don't need training wheels…" Gabriel replied, garnering a smack on the head from his date. "Oww, babe, sorry…but it's true."
She put her hands on her hips and glared at him, causing everyone else to break out into laughter. "Fine. I'll show you I can take it like a man. No salt or lime for me."
Garth just shook his head as he set out the shot glasses in front of the boys. Then he slid two limes and a salt shaker over to the girls before placing their shot glasses in front of them. He slid a shot glass cautiously over to Naomi, with his eyebrows raised in apprehension.
"You sure about this, Naomi? You're probably going to regret this later." Gabriel asked
"I don't care, I'm doing it," She stuck her tongue out at Gabriel before picking up her shot glass.
When all of them had their shot glasses raised in the air, Michael called for the best man to give a bachelor-bachelorette party toast.
Gabriel nodded to him, grinning from ear to ear. "Alright…here goes nothing. To my big brother and the love of his life…I wish you all the happiness in the world together…and more importantly bro, I'm just glad it's you getting married and not me."
"Hey…" Bela and Naomi replied in unison while the others chuckled and the boys dutifully took their shots.
As if on cue, the girls nodded to each other, licked the salt clean from their side of their palms, and took the shots in one gulp, quickly bringing the lime to their lips. Naomi, however, was not so lucky. As soon as the liquid entered her mouth, she spit it back out onto the bar.
"Ahhh! That was horrible! That was the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted! Ugh! Sick! Garth, can I have some water, please? I have to get this taste out of my mouth! Ahhhhh!"
While everyone else laughed hysterically behind her, Gabriel wrapped a comforting arm around her waist. "So I guess you're off of tequila for a while, right, babe?"
She just glared up at him, causing the others to grip their stomachs tightly with laughter. When she turned her evil glare on them, the laughter immediately ceased.
"Alright!" Bela yelled. "I'm ready for some karaoke. And I want my future husband to serenade me. Right now!"
Michael immediately had a horrified look on his face. "What? No way. I'm not going first…can I at least have a couple more drinks before…please?"
Bela smirked and slowly shook her head. "Nope. You told me you would do whatever I wanted tonight. Well, Michael Alexander Novak, my love, this is what I want."
He gulped loudly and quickly asked Garth for two more shots of tequila. When he had downed them within thirty seconds of each other, he smacked the shot glasses down forcefully on the bar. "Fine, Bela…what my lady wants, my lady gets."
Jo seemed to take this as her queue and she laughed "Michael, I'll help you out."
"THANK YOU!" he sighed and grabbed her by the hand.
Dean eyed their clasped hands suspiciously.
They sauntered hand in hand confidently over the DJ while everyone took their seat at the table, waiting for the show to start. They watched in amusement as Michael spoke to the DJ. The DJ nodded and smiled in their direction.
Michael briefly ran back stage and emerged with an acoustic guitar and pulled a stool stage front.
"Oh my God, what is he doing?" Bela asked the group. "Can he even play that thing?"
"Michael's been playing guitar since he was a teenager," Raphael offered, surprised Bela didn't know.
Jo pulled a stool from the back of the stage and pulled it close to the microphone stand. She lowered it.
Michael took the second microphone "Ladies and Gents, I'm Michael Novak. I'm just a lowly pre-med student here on campus so most of you may not know me. But tonight, I'm here celebrating my upcoming wedding to the most beautiful woman in the world. She wanted me to sing her a song but my singing voice really sucks…so I brought my good friend Joanna up here to help me out..Bela, this one is for you.."
Michael started out with the beautiful guitar riff.
Jo joined in smiling.
You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines
But you'll still be my starBaby cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath, I'm a stick it out till the endNow that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
As the song continued, Ruby cocked her head to the side and watched Dean thoughtfully. He felt her eyes on him and he abruptly shifted his eyes to meet hers.
"What?" he snapped.
"Nothing." she smirked.
"Why were you staring at me then?" his eyes narrowed suspiciously.
Ruby sighed and leaned over towards him so he could hear her. He looked at her almost afraid.
These fancy things, will never come in between
You're part of my entity, here for infinity
When the world has took it's part
When the world has dealt it's cards
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart
Because
"You know, I never got the chance to tell you this because everything happened so fast and I know Jo probably didn't say much to you but…I wanted to thank you for beating the living shit out of Rick."
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out till the end
His expression changed rapidly and his eyebrows rose in surprise. "Oh…"
She smiled softly and lightly kissed him on the cheek. "You're a good guy to have around sometimes"
Dean cleared his throat in embarrassment. "I don't know about that."
"You really…you really care about her, don't you?" Ruby asked
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
He nodded slowly, carefully choosing his words. "She's one of my best friends."
She stared at him with her dark eyes. He felt naked under her stare. She nodded knowingly. "I know, Dean…I know."
You can run into my arms
It's okay don't be alarmed
Come here to me
There's no distance in between our loveSo go on and let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
BecauseWhen the sun shines, we?ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out till the endNow that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrellaIt's raining
Ooh baby it's raining
Baby come here to me
Come here to meIt's raining
When Michael strung the last chords of the song, loud applause erupted. Bela had tears glistening on her lashes. Michael and Jo stood from their stools and he grabbed her hand and raised it, as Jo took a bow. When he dropped her hand, Jo said "Michael Novak everyone!" and more applause broke out.
As they approached the table, Bela attacked her groom. She grabbed him by the waist and captured her lips roughly on his, much to the chagrin of the other occupants of the table.
"Oh gross!" Raphael exclaimed.
Dean shook his head and gestured the boys to the bar. "Let's go get another. Leave this whipped dude here by himself."
Michael flipped them off, his lips still securely attached to Bela's as the others snickered and left the table.
When Dean got to the bar, he asked the bartender for a round of Apple Jacks.
"Eww" Naomi cried "I hate Jack Daniels."
"Ahh suck it up." Ruby told her "Take it like a man."
Everyone laughed.
Naomi stuck out her bottom lip but still took the shot glass that was offered to her. After they downed the shots, they smacked the glasses back on the counter.
"More!" she yelled with an evil smile.
"That's my girl. " Gabriel exclaimed "Who taught you how to drink like that?"
"You did, baby." Naomi laughed giving him a high five while Jo and Ruby rolled their eyes.
"You two are like twelve year olds." Sam said laughing.
After another round Ruby said "Let's dance, Sam." and dragged him to the dance floor.
Naomi jumped into Gabriel's arms and asked "Do you love me?"
He laughed and nodded as she wound her arms tightly around his neck. "You better believe it!"
This time, Meg rolled her eyes as the two moved in for passionate kiss.
She nudged Castiel with her elbow. "What is it with everyone tonight…you'd think there was a full moon or something…"
Jo laughed at Castiel's expression and took another sip of her drink. "Oh well…they're just in love…but then again what would we know about anything like that."
For a minute, Dean and Castiel looked at each other with a hurt expression on their face and Jo tried to figure out what she'd said wrong but then they smirked at each other. When they sat down, Michael and Bela quickly untangled themselves from each other and smiled sheepishly at them.
"Sorry guys…" Michael blushed. "I guess we got a little carried away for a while."
Dean rolled his eyes. "Yeah, well, you passed it along to Gabriel who is sucking off Naomi's face right now. And to Sam whose lips appear to be glued Ruby's face. Even Raphael's date is getting cozy."
And so the rest of the evening passed with all friend having fun enjoying their celebration.
When Bela could no longer stand and was hanging all over him, Michael decided to call it a night.
"Umm…guys…" he managed to gasp out into between kisses that Bela was planting. "I think we're going to get going."
He carried her out of the bar, with Bela's legs wrapped tightly around them with the others watched with amused grins.
"I think we should get going too" Naomi whispered seductively as she traced circles on Gabriel's leg. He gulped and immediately jumped up from the table, grabbing her hand to pull her to the exit.
"Bye guys!" Naomi called out as they practically sprinted to the door.
"So are you two next?"Dean asked Sam and Castiel.
Castiel looked at Meg for confirmation "I believe Meg is tired."
Dean frowned at her and she stuck her tongue out at him. "Party pooper," he called her.
"Well gee whiz Dean, you've made this so much fun for me, I'm actually sorry I have to leave," she deadpanned
"Lying..the most fun Meg can have with her clothes on,"Dean retorted.
"Girls, girls, you're both pretty, no need to fight," Jo added.
"Let's go Meg," Castiel said as he shook Sam's hand and planted kisses on Jo and Ruby's forehead. "I'll see you home, Dean."
Dean shook his head as Castiel and Meg walked away hand in hand.
"Yeah we're gonna head out too." Sam said leaning over to take Ruby's hand. "I have still have some studying to do."
"Drunk studying?" Jo asked
"Let me guess..Anatomy?" Dean asked laughing.
Poor Ruby giggled and blushed while giving Ruby a goodbye hug leaving Dean and Jo alone at the table.
Dean grimaced as he watched his brother and his girlfriend. "Ugh…all that making out was something I didn't really need to see that. I'm scarred for life."
Jo shrugged as she finished the rest of her drink, feeling slightly tipsy. "So what? They are all happy. Isn't that all that matters anyway?"
He nodded and nudged his head towards the door. "So do you want to get out here or what?"
She finished sucking down the rest of her drink and nodded. "Yeah, I'm feeling pretty drunk. I shouldn't have anymore or you might have to carry me out of here."
Dean smiled as Jo stumbled clumsily towards the door.
"Whoa!" she cried when Dean caught her before she made contact with the floor.
He helped her stand. "Geez, Jo, I can't take you anywhere, can I?"
She frowned and smacked him on the shoulder. "Shut up and take me home."
"Your wish is my command." He said seriously as he helped her stumble out of the bar.
"So are you sad?" she asked out of the blue.
He looked down at her and frowned. "Sad about what?"
Jo shrugged as he helped her steady herself. "Well, Bela said you couldn't take anyone home tonight…sorry for cramping your style."
He just laughed at her and smirked, raising an eyebrow. "Well, technically, I'm taking you home."
She made a face and hit him on the shoulder. "That doesn't count! We live together!"
He shook his head and laughed again. "Let's just get you home, Jo."
"Ow!" Jo yelped as she tried to take off one of her heels.
Dean sighed and took her foot in his hand, quickly undoing the strap that she had been struggling with. He helped her sit down on her bed as she managed to get the other shoe off by herself. He pushed her gently onto the bed but she just huffed and leapt off the bed.
She kicked off her jeans, leaving them in a pile at his feet. She struggled to get off the tank top and shirt that she had been wearing at the same time.
"Ow! Dean…help me, I'm stuck."
Dean froze and shifted his eyes away from her as she stood in front of him in her underwear, with her arm caught in her shirt, partially exposing her black bra to him. He swiftly grabbed the fabric, trying to avert his eyes as much as possible from what was below him, and lifted the shirts over her head. He threw it gingerly onto the pile of her discarded clothes and raised an eyebrow when she fell back into bed.
"I'm so tired…" she mumbled sleepily.
He smiled gently and pulled her comforter up around her, tucking the edges around her. He reached out to smooth her hair but his hand jerked back when she opened her eyes.
"G'night Dean."
"Good night Jo."
