Chapter 15
About a half an hour later, everyone was done eating and chatting about the trip. But me. I was lost in my own thoughts about earlier. The way Dean's hands were on my skin. Heating it up. I smiled into my coffee. That's when Bianca's voice interrupted my thoughts.
"Nic? What do you think?" She asked with a puzzled look.
"Sorry, what were we talking about?" I could feel my cheeks slightly heating up. I could feel Dean's eyes on me.
"We were talking about where to meet next." Dean said, giving me a sexy smirk.
"Right! I was thinking of Denver. I know someone there with a vacation home that we can use. I'll shoot them a text to see if we can use it." I said as I pulled out my phone to text her.
"Nic.. Could I ride with you? There are some things I would like to go over with you about." Bianca gave me a certain look that signaled that it was important.
"Fine by me." I gave her a questioning look, "So that means that Stefan, Sam and Dean will be driving there together then."
The boys just nodded, and we all went to pack up our things. I loaded up the truck, got the dogs all settled in for the long drive. As we were saying goodbye, Dean winked and said that would see me soon. He grabbed my hand and pressed his soft lips against it. I must have looked like a fool because the smile on my face was so big. As I turned around, I saw that Bianca was hugging Sam goodbye. My gut was telling me that 'that' is what she wanted to talk about. About a minute later we were on the road again. As I opened my mouth to ask what that was about. She shushed me and said that she wanted to jam out before we talked. Damn. Alright.
About an hour later, the pooches were starting to cry, and howl. I guess they were sick of the music now. Both Bianca and I giggled and turned down the music.
"So…I saw that you and Sam were hugging before we left. Is….Is there anything going on between you two?" I asked, trying not to let the excitement show in my voice.
"Maybe. I don't really know. We both can feel a connection. But I really think that I am falling for him." She nervously said, "I knew that we had a connection the first day that you got me to guard him."
"Well then I think that you guys should explore this connection." I smiled.
"It's just he is so sweet, and we have so much in common! I just wanted to talk to you about it in case you were against it. But after I saw you and Dean that one night I figured that it was okay." She said looking at her hands.
"Well, like I said. You should explore that connection. I know that them being hunters is a little strange but honestly you should do what makes you happy." I said, maybe I should take my own advice.
"Maybe.. You should do the same.." She said slowly. Speak of mind probing.
"What? What do you mean?" Knowing full well what she is talking about.
"Well. Since that night, I see the way he looks at you and when he is around you I can feel his emotions go crazy. I try to ignore them but they are really strong and hard to ignore." She smiled.
"I see.. Well.. He asked me to go for drinks in Denver." I nervously said.
"WHAT!? Like a date!?" She exclaimed.
"I actually don't know." I started to think. Was it a date?
"How do you not know! Well then I think we need to go shopping!" She got really excited.
"I just don't want to jinx it. I'm still not sure about it myself. My mind keeps telling me that there is more to this. More to him. I don;t know what it is. But I feel like I have known him for most of my life." I said, gripping the steering wheel harder.
"Maybe it's just meant to be." She smiled and turned up the music.
"Oh! Before I forget," I said as I reached to turn down the music, "Dean and I were talking about cars and I was thinking about surprising them with their car."
"Ooooh! That's a great idea! I'll text Damon and Elena to get their booties to where they left it! They can meet us in Denver!" She was getting way too excited about this.
"Also can you text Stefan and give him the address of the vacation home." I smiled and we continued our way to Denver.
Around 7 am we finally arrived in the city. We pulled up to a small dog park to let the pooches burn off some energy. Opeth was putting on her best smile and ran up to all the other dogs to greet them. As for Lobo, she was more solitary. She was smelling something and rolled in it. Ugh. I just rolled my eyes and Bianca and I walked a few laps to stretch our legs. Then we sat on a bench and we watched as the sun warmed up the earth. I whistled for the dogs and started towards the truck. On the way there, Bianca suggested that we should find some us breakfast before we go shopping. I agreed and loaded up the dogs and headed into the city.
After a couple minutes and some driving around we were able to find a cute little area with some bistros and clothing stores. I parked and gave the dogs some water and a couple of bones and chew toys to entertain themselves. I left the windows down for them knowing that they would protect the truck. We went into this little bistro that was called Cafe Rouix. It was cute and very modern. We were seated outside and were given some menus. I ordered a club sandwich while Bianca ordered an almond and cashew salad. While we waited for our food we chatted about the trip and about Sam and Dean. Our food came and while we were eating my phone pinged at me.
'We made it to the house. See U soon. -Dean
I smiled at my phone and showed it to Bianca. She started to jump up and down in her seat. Then in one foul swoop She snatched my phone out of my hands and began texting Dean back. I was more shocked at how fast she was able to grab my phone. After a couple of minutes of her smiling to herself, she handed me back my phone. I stuck my tongue out at her and read what she sent.
ME:'Can't wait! Wait! How did you get a phone?'
DEAN:'Stefan stopped and got both Sam and I phones. Along with some shirts'
ME:'I see. I see. Quick question. Is this just drinks or is this a date?'
DEAN:'Date?'
I smiled down at my phone and typed that I shall see him soon with a smiley face and pressed send.
After breakfast we paid the bill and set out to do some shopping. We browsed a couple of shops and until we found one that had some things that we wanted. After trying a lot of clothes on and finally settled on a couple pairs of jeans, a new watch, a pair of black chunky heels and a new black dress with a low drop back. Satisfied with our spree, we paid for our loot and left the store. Before we headed towards the truck, I spotted a little pet store and decided that the dogs should be spoiled too. I bought them some new toys, harnesses and some food. When we got back to the truck, I let the dogs smell their new things, but they were more interested in the treats that I got them. I gave them a few then got back onto the road. I plugged the vacation house into my GPS and followed it there.
After about an hour, we arrived at the gorgeous home. It was absolutely stunning! Most of the home had black out windows, metal and wood siding. The landscape was peaceful. There wasn't another house for about a mile. As we walked inside with our loot and suitcases, the layout of the house was stunning. It was an open floor plan. It was painted in cool grays and whites. There were some wallpapered areas and the kitchen was up to date.
As we walked in, the boys were watching something on the giant TV and drinking some beer. 'Danm.. I thought my TV was big,' I thought. Bianca set her stuff down and skipped over and sat down beside Sam. They smiled at each other. That's when Dean shifted in his and looked at me. We just held that gaze for a moment before Sam's voice broke it.
"Where are the dogs?" Sam asked.
"Oh, they are outside exploring. Just get Bianca to whistle. They'll come to her." I smiled and winked.
I made my way up the spiral staircase that led to the maze of bedrooms. It was beautifully decorated. At the end of the hallway was the master bedroom. There was a sitting area that was made up of browns and whites. Off in the corner was the giant bed. It was made up of the same brown and whites with big fluffy pillows. Then there was the bathroom about a couple feet away.
I smiled to myself thinking about tonight. I walked over to the giant walk-in closet and put my stuff og the island. I grabbed my shower equipment, makeup and curling iron. Then I set off to have myself an amazing, relaxing shower.
