Chapter 78 - Teasing
Zane looked up and shook her hand and smiled. Dean then quickly took his angel's hand back and held it before nodding to his friend, "See you soon buddy."
Just as Dean and April reached the door Z stood up and walked towards them, "One second Dean."
Dean looked at Z and then glanced at April. She nodded and answered for him, "I'll meet you at the lift."
"I won't be long," Dean said quickly. After smiling at them both April walked towards the lift.
After April took a few steps he looked at his friend, "What's up?"
Z sighed, "Just some advice one friend to another I can see you love her, so keep a hold of her and don't be stupid like me."
Dean sighed, his friend was indeed stupid he stood in his own way when it came to his future happiness. He had his own advice for his childhood friend, "When you go days without talking to her you leave her questioning. You make her doubt that you ever cared for her, you make her doubt you care that you both aren't in contact and she will eventually convince herself that you don't care anymore. You may not think it's a big deal now, but when she starts talking to someone else I bet you will be devastated. Nikki will wait for you but she won't wait around long bud. Do not lose your chance at genuine happiness."
Z nodded and looked up at April waiting for Dean by the lift, "I know I am just making sure I have everything in order before…"
Seeing his friend not able to continue he nodded, "Just keep in contact with her for your own sanity and hers."
"The bunny suits you," Z smirked, he was back to his usual teasing already.
Dean shook his head but knew his friend would listen to the advice he had given him, "Talk soon bud."
Dean then turned and caught up to April and the lift had just arrived, they got in together and Dean held her waist again. He wanted her close always.
They walked through the hospital and had got back into Deans car. Seeing April lost in thought again he asked, "Worried about Z? He will be okay, he knows what he has to do."
April looked over at Dean, "Oh, okay. I just don't like to see others sad." She answered.
Dean started the car and replied, "A man's pride will cause him to lose a woman that loves him deeply because instead of changing his ways and apologizing, he will just occupy his time with other women so he doesn't miss the woman that he loves." Dean sighed and took Aprils hand and kissed it, he wouldn't make the same mistake his friend had.
Back in April's condo April was taking a shower and Dean was making them both dinner, he had a permanent smile now on his face. It felt like he was finally home, she was his home now. She was so strong and had been through so much in her last life and he hadn't been part of any of that. But now he was in her life he wouldn't let her stand against any storm alone.
She was the type to stay silent and bare pain and trauma alone but still keep smiling and care about others. She had just met Z and she had already worried about him, her pure heart showed no limits. She had a big heart and noticed his friend's pain just like a true empath. He guessed it was because she and he both knew the feeling of being unnoticed and unloved that she could also see it in his friend Z's eyes.
He was happy his friends were also now her friends she was the type that would always be your biggest supporter and listen to all your problems even though she didn't expect others to sit and listen to hers.
He stirred the food one last time and he plated it up and walked towards the dining table with the plates. Setting the plates down he looked up and saw April come out of their bedroom. She wore a long black t-shirt that he was sure was his and as he looked down he saw her pale long legs walking towards him, he gulped as the heat rose in his stomach and he held himself back from rushing towards her.
April saw Deans hungry eyes and yes she knew she was teasing him but she enjoyed the fun of the flirt, why not give him a little taste. She pretended she didn't see anything and sat down in front of Dean as he still stood up by the table watching her.
"Aren't you sitting down?" April asked.
Dean coughed and sat down, "Is that my shirt?"
"Yes, I hope you don't mind it's just a lot more comfy to sleep in. Thanks for making dinner" April replied.
"No no take whatever you want to wear in fact I encourage it," Dean added.
April and Dean then fell into some easy conversation during dinner and April had seen him staring at her legs and she continued to pretend to be oblivious to him. After dinner, she picked up their plates and rinsed them and bent over to fill the dishwasher. Just as she did that she noticed Dean standing behind her with an intensity in his eyes she hadn't seen before. Maybe she had teased him too much.
She stood and crossed her hands over her chest but to Dean, she just made his t-shirt lift and show off more of her silky white thighs and her chest now stood prominently out. He couldn't take it anymore and he walked towards her and lifted her up and she instantly wrapped her legs around his waist.
Yes, she had pushed him too far April let out a light scream as she was picked up, she now was eye level with Dean. His amber eyes just like honey met hers and they both gave in.
