Hunter Hiatus

**CHAPTER TWO**

Onyx started to chuckle as they walked out the door because she could see Jade reaching into her jacket pocket for her keys and heading in the wrong direction of her car. Just because they’re hunters doesn’t mean they can’t be silly girls sometimes… the kind who loose their car in a parking lot with 30 spots.

Dean was about a step behind her and not really paying attention to where he was walking… he had his eyes on the classic mustang parked a few feet away. Jade being herself… had completely forgotten where she was parked. It wasn’t until she realized that he was no longer behind her that she noticed she’d forgotten where she’d parked.

“Dammit…” she spun a slow circle and got about halfway around before she heard Dean commenting on a car that caught his attention.

“Oh. I like it…” he whispered as he neared the car and had to use all his willpower not to touch it. Jade smiled and walked over to him as he was oogling her car.

“Ah you found her… how I could forget where I parked her, I’ll never understand. I blame the liquor.” she said as she started searching for her keys again.

“Wait… this is your car?” He asked staring at her like she had just said she was the president or something.

“Yeah why is that so shocking?” Jade said as she started to frantically search for her keys.

“Just wouldn’t have guessed you’d drive something so…” he was at a loss for words as he started to circle the car.

“So fucking sexy?” Jade said as she started to go as far as checking her bra and socks for her keys “Where the hell…” she mumbled with a grunt of frustration that went unheard by the love-struck-by-a-car Dean.

“That’s one way of putting it” he said as he rounded the back of the car and towards her.

“Can I drive it?” His eyes lit up like a child at Christmas.

“No.”

“Why not?” he asked with that disappointed puppy look

“For one… I can’t find my keys… and two; no one drives this car but me without earning it first. I don’t even like letting my sister drive it.” She growled her frustration then and suddenly it dawned on her. “She wouldn’t… “she spat as she started to walk away from the car.

“Looking for these?” Onyx asked as she shook her sister’s keys.

“Yes!”

“Sorry… can’t let you have them” Onyx said as she closed her fist and put it in her jacket pocket.

“I’m not playing this game again sis” Jade stated as she closed the distance between them.

“You’re drunk… I can’t let you drive. You know grandma would turn over in her grave if you wrecked that car” Onyx stated as her much taller sister came within her ‘personal bubble’.

“I’ll drive” Dean shouted at the two girls who looked about ready for a smackdown

“NO!” both girls shouted at him without even looking. Sam just walked over to Dean and punched him the arm. “Jerk”

“Bitch” was Dean’s immediate reply. It was like clockwork with that one.

“It is a nice car though.” Sam said as even he started to look it over.

“Give. Me. My. Keys.” Jade punctuated each word as much as she could. The fact that she stopped her foot after each word, only made Onyx shake her head at her sister’s child-like actions.

“No. You’re drunk”

“Am not… I’ve only been drinking… two hours” Jade said as she smiled at her sister.

“Still standing aint I?”

“The way you were going at it with him” Onyx said as she nodded over to Dean “means you’ve had to much to drink”

“What? How can you judge me by that? That’s stupid.”

“No it’s not… I’ve watched your ass each time you insist on going out… you never act that way unless you’re beyond drunk.”

“What… I can’t find a guy hot and make out with him in a bar WITHOUT being drunk?” She looked at her sister sternly. “I’m not a complete lush you know” She said as her voice softened a bit. The reference to their late mother was subtle, but understood. They had been warned by their grandparents, and friends of the family, that their mother was a bit of a drinker… and no one wanted either of them to follow in her footsteps.

“I’m just saying…” Onyx said.

“Well don’t. I’m not drunk and I’m not leaving my car here. Plus you’ve got the truck so you can’t drive it anyways!” she said as she playfully stuck her tongue out at her sister.

“I’ll drive it” Dean said again resulting in another punch in the shoulder from his brother

“Dude, don’t do that again” he said to Sam.

“Then stop being a jackass…” Sam said and punched him in the shoulder again.

“Bitch…”

“Jerk…”

“No one but me is driving my car tonight!” Jade said and turned to face the boys. She smiled a wicked smile then turned to her sister like a flash and dove for her jacket pocket that contained her keys.

“Gimmie!” Jade shouted as her and her sister started wrestling like children with a toy

“NOPE!” Onyx shouted as they both smiled and tried the next best approach… Onyx resorted to tickling. “Not gonna get the keys!” Onyx shouted as she took off running. Dean and Sam just shook their heads and looked at each other then started laughing. When they heard the triumphant cheer from Jade, they both looked around to figure out where the girls had run to.

“AH HA!” Jade shouted from across the parking lot. “Behold the glory of long legs!” she stated as she walked to her car with keys held high… it was the typical big sister routine… hold the item out of the reach of your shorter sibling.

“NOT FAIR!” Onyx shouted as she came running up to Jade with hopes of tackling her sister. Sadly she was but a moment to late as Jade stepped behind both of the boys and Sam took the full force of her tackle.

“ACK!” Was the shout that could be heard above all else. “Oh shit Sam I’m so sorry” Onyx mumbled as they tumbled to the ground.

“If you wanted him on his back, there are much more fun ways to achieve it you know” came Jade’s smart-ass remark between laughs and gasps for air.

“Shut it Jacee. Sam I’m so sorry… I swear I didn’t…” Onyx tried to get an explanation out as she pulled herself up from the ground beet red with embarrassment. Jade and Dean were near tears with laughter.

Once she could breathe again Jade finally unlocked the door to her car and got in. No one had even noticed that she’d moved until she turned the engine over. When the car roared to life it made the others jump a bit with the suddenness of the sound. Dean looked at the car like it just sparked new life into him and when he made eye contact with Jade, who was smiling like she’d won the lotto, he gave her look that made her tingle in all the right places. When she finally let the car settle into idle and rolled down the window she looked up at Dean with a wickedly sinful smile. When she opened the door and stepped out, she noticed Onyx helping Sam dust the dirt off himself and Dean just staring at her in awe… as boys often will when a woman one-ups their macho manlyism. Jade just smiled at the look on his face and how cute it made him look. When he finally snapped out of the reverie that he was in, the look in his eye changed and Jade gave a small startled squeak as he grabbed her and pulled her into a passionate kiss. It caught Jade off guard and she fell backwards into the side of the car with Dean still locked to her. She could feel the heat of his body as he pinned her between himself and the car. She knew that if they didn’t get back to her place soon… the parking lot would get one hell of a show!

“Whoa” was Sam’s response to the thump of them hitting the car.

“Yeah… that car makes that kind of impression on most men” Onyx said as she started to fish for her own keys. “Guess that’s why she wanted it” She stated as she pulled out her keys and started to walk off. “Let him breathe and take it home!” Onyx shouted at her sister. Sam followed behind her, keys to the impala in his hand. He’d managed to get Dean’s bag out of the Impala and into her Mustang without anyone noticing. It did help that the Impala was parked only three spots away from her Mustang. When they heard the mustang engine rev and finally pull out Onyx sighed and headed towards her truck. You could hear the car take off down the road, Jade letting the gears stretch to attain maximum speeding capability.

“Well…” Onyx said as her and Sam walked towards their cars.

“Well...” Sam replied.

“You have a hotel you’re staying at?”

“Nothing picked out yet, got any suggestions?”

“Nothing I’d actually stay at. But I’m picky.”

“I can understand.” The air grew silent for a moment as each started to study the keys in their hands feeling the tension raise a little. “I should head off then and try to find a semi-decent one before dawn” He looked up her then and watched her swallow hard and the thoughts race through her mind.

“You uh- could come crash at my place” She said without looking up at him. The few heartbeats of silence made her begin to second guess herself. “I mean… if you want to, I have a pull out couch. Can’t say it’s very comfortable, but it’s an option.” She looked up at him then with a small smile on her face.

“You know… I think I’ll take you up on that offer. Then I don’t have to worry so much about finding Dean tomorrow.” He chuckled at the look on her face.

“True… very true. Did I mention that her condo is right next to mine?” The raised eyebrow he gave her made her chuckle. “Yeah. They’re connected and everything, but they’re well insulated or something because normally I don’t hear her sexual escapades” She stated as they finally reached her truck. When she looked up at Sam, the look on his face made her start to laugh. He looked at the truck… then back at her.

“This is yours?”

“Yup. Grandma loved me”

“It’s uh- big” He said for lack of better words

“Yeah… makes up for being vertically challenged. Plus it’s just damn fun to drive”

“And I thought the Impala was a beast….” Sam said as he turned to look at his car.

“If you play your cards right… I MIGHT let you drive it” Onyx smiled. “I’m not as temperamental as Jade.”

“I don’t know if I could handle that thing” Sam said as he raised an eyebrow then looked back at Onyx with a smile. “Maybe tomorrow?”
