KISS OF FATE - - * DEAN

[zoey alana richardson]

It had been about two weeks since Nick had broken Zoey’s heart and to be honest, she was feeling much better. She saw him a few times in the hallway, but the more time that went by, the more she didn’t really give him a second glance. She was back to her old self and it was how she preferred it, sure, there was a piece of her that saddened whenever she saw him or was reminded of him, but that was only because of the fact that he had taken her virginity, which was sacred to most girls so it was natural to feel that way. She had been just hanging out with her usual buds and trying her best to focus on school work and getting her older brother, Brady better. It made her sad that Brady had gotten kicked out and had moved in with Jax and his family, but she was relieved to hear that he was being taken care of. She just missed him terribly and always texted or talked to him whenever she found an opportunity.

Tonight wasn’t a night home alone though, tonight her girl friends had convinced her to go out. It was an underclassmen party, so there wasn’t too much pressure, at least that’s how Zoey saw it. She was never a big partier, but she did enjoy her fair share of fun. She was halfway done with her first mixed drink, she wasn’t buzzed, but she was getting there. She heard someone announce the next drinking game being played, it being 7 minutes in heaven and she raised her hand, ”I wanna play!” she said enthusiastically and got into the circle. ”CAN I GO FIRST?” she asked grabbing the bottle anyways, she was too excited and she never played the game so she spun it freely. The bottle spun over and over again, zoey not even realizing who else was in the circle as she sipped her beverage. Before she knew it, it stopped and she looked up, the person it landed on being none other than Dean.

[DEAN JAMES TORRES]

Dean had been dragged to a party that night with some of his basketball buddies. Apparently, they were worried about him and thought that he needed to get out more. Lately he had been spending most of his time with Zoey and Brady, helping them both through their issues. He was glad that both of them seemed to be doing better, at least a little bit. Zoey seemed to be her normal self again and that was all he cared about at the moment.

Still, here he was at an underclassmen party full of his classmates and the freshmen class. He stood off to the side, sipping casually at the beer that was in his cup, talking to a few people. His thoughts however where on his best friends. It wasn't until his buddies dragged him to the circle for the first game of the night, that he spotted a familiar face. He couldn't help but smile lightly. Of course Zoey's friends would drag her here. He laughed lightly at her enthusiasm to play and watched as she took the bottle and spun it.

Dean watched as the bottle continued to spin around in a circle, taking small sips of his drink as he did so. Lately he hadn't been a huge drinker but that didn't mean that he didn't enjoy alcohol every once in a while. His eyes widened slightly when the bottle finally stopped...on him. How in God's name was that even possible? He shook his head slightly and looked up to see that Zoey was looking at him. He smiled lightly. "Hey Zozo," he said, unsure of what exactly to say now. What was he supposed to say to his best friend and girl that he was currently crushing on hard core? The girl that he was now supposed to get locked in a closet with for the next seven minutes.

Zoey was never one to attend parties, she was a good girl, and especially since lately her brother had gotten himself into some drug related troubles causing him to get kicked out of their house. Her friends had insisted on her coming tonight though and she knew she needed a good night out, she had spent a lot of time with her boys mostly and it was time for her to spend some time with her own friends. She didn’t expect to see people she knew or hung our with, but she was too in the moment to notice, especially when the bottle landed on Dean.

She bit her lip, but everyone around them were encouraging them and leading them to the closet at hand. ”okay, okay,” she said and walked towards the closet in question. She knew this would be weird but this a part of the game, right? As soon as the door closed behind them, she looked back at dean, the closet being really small as she noticed turning the light on. ”hi,” she said, ”I’ve never played this… but we have 7 minutes, right?” she said nervously. She had grown a crush on Dean, always had, but was this the appropriate time? ”what are we supposed to do?” she asked.

Dean rolled his eyes good naturedly as everyone at the party began to push him and Zoey towards the closest. While inside he was freaking out slightly, on the outside, he kept cool. "OKay. Okay. We're going," He said, putting a little laughter in his voice as him and Zoey walked to the closet in question. He swallowed deeply when they finally reached the closet and the door began closing before he heard the lock click in place.

He couldn't help but smile lightly when he heard Zoey say hi before the light clicked on. "Hey," He replied. He nodded slightly at her question. "Yeah, we have seven minute locked in this closet." He ran a hand through his hair and let out a small sigh as she asked him what they were supposed to do. His nerves began to pick up slightly at the thought of what was technically supposed to happen, though another part of him couldn't help but be excited at the prospect. Minus Nate, Jax, and Tommy no one knew that he had a crush on Zoey. "Um, well, you see, that's the thing. In this game, the two people locked in the closet are supposed to, um, kinda make out." He ran another hand through his hair as he looked at the clothes hanging in the closet to avoid her eyes. He didn't know how she was going to react to his statement. He hoped that she didn't freak out. That was the last thing he wanted to happen. "But we don't have to. No one will know. We can just talk. That is what a lot of people do."

Zoey gulped a bit, feeling herself tense up a bit as the closet door closed shut and the seven minutes began. She looked back at Dean, there were several things she wanted to do with him, but none she’d dare admit. She nodded a bit and tensed up even more when he announced that the normal victims of seven minutes in heaven were expected to make out. She wasn’t opposed to the idea, but it was dean, was it not weird for them to cross that line? She blushed a bit at the idea, she had dreamed of making out with dean randomly, but she never thought she’d actually have the opportunity.

She looked to him in surprised and nibbled her bottom lip, she watched him look away and listened as he suggested an alternative to the game. She frowned a bit and shook her head, as much as she didn’t want things to be weird; she wanted to take this opportunity to kiss him. ”no, I want to” she replied, She took a breath before touching his cheeks and leaning up on her tippy toes to kiss him, bringing him closer. She closed her eyes as the kiss deepened, only hoping she wasn’t crossing any lines with them

Dean looked back at her as she told him that she wanted to kiss him. His eyes widened quickly in shock. Zoey wanted to make out with him? Part of him couldn't help the joy that he felt. He knew that he had wanted to kiss her since the bottle had landed on him. Still, he couldn't believe that Zoey wanted to kiss him. He knew that this would most likely change their friendship, but at the moment, he didn't really care. He liked her as more than a friend and knew that would be true no matter what. He just hoped afterwards it wouldn't be awkward between them.

He looked at her as she placed her hands on his cheeks and stood up on her tippy toes, allowing her to take the lead on the kiss for the most part. As she leaned up, he leaned down to kiss her, his eyes slipping closed as he did so. He placed his arms on her hips lightly for a few minutes before he wrapped them around her waist and pulled her closer as the kiss slowly deepened. All he could think was how great it felt to finally kiss her and how well they fit together. He just hoped that she didn't freak out afterwards and that things weren't awkward. He didn't know what he would do if they stopped being friends because of this. The thought nearly killed him. He knew that he couldn't lose her.

Zoey had no idea how Dean felt towards her, but for now, at this moment, she knew she wanted to kiss him. She knew it would be a long shot, but if she had any opportunity, it would be now. If anything, she could just pretend she was too buzzed to remember her actions, even though she wasn’t really buzzed at all. Sure, the alcohol had a bit of a toll on her but not enough to get her to make an impulsive decision. She was more than comfortable and as she continued to kiss Dean she felt her eyes close shut and her arms wrap around his neck, pulling him closer.

She felt his arms around her hips as he returned the kiss, which only reassured her that he was just as okay with this as she was. She kissed him more, letting the kiss linger on some more, surprised at the fact that he was even returning it. She continued to kiss him, her passion in the kiss the more time went on but as soon as the closet door opened, she pulled away and wiped her mouth, a little embarrassed at how carried away she got. She had loved the mini make out session, she had to admit, but did he? She looked at everyone else looking at them then back at him, ”can we… maybe go outside? “ she asked.

[DEAN JAMES TORRES]

Dean was relieved when she didn't pull away from the kiss. He took it as a good sign. He allowed the kiss to deepen, pulling her closer to him. He knew that their time in the closet was coming to an end, but he didn't want it to. This might be the only opportunity he had to ever kiss her and he wanted to take full advantage of that fact. He knew that, given the chance he could probably kiss her all night.

When the door to the closet opened though, they quickly pulled away. He reached up and quickly wiped off his lips, slightly embarrassed. He wasn't embarrassed that he had been caught kissing Zoey, the little sister of his best friend, but by the fact that he had gotten so absorbed in the kiss. Now even with everyone looking, all he could think about was closing the door to the closet and kissing her again. Still, he was a little worried about what her reaction can be.

As Zoey asked Dean if they could go outside, he nodded his head as he ran a hand through his hair again. "Yeah, sure," He told her, only a hint of nervousness creeping into his voice. "Lead the way." He smiled at her lightly as he let her lead the way outside.

Zoey had never kissed someone and felt that sort of connection before, she wasn’t sure if it was just her or if he had felt it too. Maybe she was just being a girl again though and she didn’t want to get ahead of herself. She looked at everyone staring at them, some people smiling knowingly which made her even more embarrassed. When Dean agreed to go outside with her she quickly led the way, wanting to get away from the big group of people that were still in the circle and about to start the next round of seven minutes in heaven. She led them past other people their age, heart beating a bit faster with each step as she got closer to their destination. She wasn’t sure what she was going to say but she felt like something had to be said after that, the pair had never gone that far before. A part of her wanted to just pretend it didn’t happen and just keep going with how things were, but the other part of her felt like she really did feel something in that kiss and she sort of wanted to take a chance.

When they got out side, she nibbled on her bottom lip a little and she could feel her cheeks turn a bright red. The chill of the air brushed past her skin which made her shiver as she thought of what on earth she could say right now. She avoided his gaze for the most part and touched her mouth gently, remembering how it felt to kiss him. Why did those seven minutes go by so fast? Or had she been too caught up in the moment? She didn’t know what she could say; she didn’t want it to be awkward if he just saw it as a random kiss. ”Hi again,” she finally spoke, but still avoided his eye contact.”I don’t know why I asked you to come out here with me…I guess I just thought…” she frowned, she really didn’t know what to say right now. She wanted to tell him she liked it, but she was scared of the fact that he could easily reject her. She was just his best friends little sister after all, wasn’t she?

[DEAN JAMES TORRES]

Dean chanced a look at Zoey and noticed that she looked a little embarrassed. Then again, he didn't really blame her. People at the party had been staring at them, with knowing smiles on their faces. He quickly followed her through the party as they made their way outside, wanting to avoid getting caught in another round. Though he had to admit that he was pretty happy about how the first round turned out, but he was happy enough to keep it at that one round.

As soon as they made it outside, he could feel a slight bit of awkwardness creep into him. He looked over again and saw her start to bite her bottom lip. The move was just so adorable and all he could think about was kissing her again. When he noticed her shiver, he quickly shrugged off his jacket and slipped it around her shoulders, almost without thinking. It was something he would have done before tonight, but for some reason it seemed different. He felt even worse with the fact that she was avoiding eye contact with him. He was now worried he had messed up their friendship.

He smiled lightly at her words and nodded. "Hey again," he replied as he rocked slightly on the balls of his feet. He wasn't sure what to say. Part of him wanted to tell her that he liked the kiss and liked her as more than a friend. Still another part of him was scared that she would reject him. She just looked at him as her brother's best friend and almost like a brother, right? There was no way she would feel the same as him.

After a moment, he sighed. He couldn't miss his chance. He had waited too long to tell her already. He had waited so long in fact that she had gotten with Nick and he had hurt her, badly.he couldn't let something like that happen again. He sighed gently one last time before he took a step closer to her. He placed his finger under her chin and lifted it up so that she was looking at him. Before she could say anything, he leaned down and kissed her softly again. He pulled back after a few minutes and looked at her, locking his eyes with hers. "I don't regret the kiss, zoey. I can't because," he paused as he took another deep breath, "I like you, Zoey. I really do. And not as my best friend's little sister. I mean, I really like you, Zoey."

Once Dean was done with his confession he let out a breath slowly, just waiting to see what her reaction would be. He just hoped that he hadn't just majorly freaked her out and ruined their friendship forever.

Zoey wasn’t sure what she wanted to say, she wasn’t brave enough to say anything, at least she didn’t think so. Oh god and what if Brady found out that they had kissed? There were tons of people who were there and knew exactly what they were doing in that closet. Would he get mad at her? Would he get mad at Dean? She wasn’t even sure what had just happened, these feelings she was experiencing was still quite new to her, all thanks to that kiss. Dean had interrupted her thoughts when he put his jacket over her shoulders which made a small smile start to creep on her face. See? It was sweet little things like that, that made it so hard not to fall for or at least crush on him. ”thanks,” she said softly and slid her arms into his jacket’s arm sleeves, so that it stayed on. She hugged herself a little, his jacket even smelled like him, which she loved.

It was silent for what felt like forever and it was starting to bug her, he must think she was so weird for asking him to come outside and not even saying anything to him. Should she just tell him that she enjoyed that kiss way more than she probably should have? Before she could even decide what to say or do next, he made the decision for her and lifted her chin up, stepping closer to her. She loved it when he did that, he was always the one to pick her up when she was down, it was almost similar to that. She looked up at him, she was just about to say something when he leaned in and kissed her. She closed her eyes almost immediately and kissed him back, her stomach practically doing flips as it went on. She was a little in shock that he had done that, her body felt frozen in place, but she didn’t want to move anyways.

He pulled away and her eyes slowly opened, immediately looking back at him. She didn’t expect the next words that left his mouth, but the more he spoke, the wider her smile got. Was this real? Did Dean just tell her that he liked her? Like… really liked her? Was this who Nate was talking about back when he said someone liked her? Before she could say anything, she squealed out of excitement, but quickly covered her mouth in embarrassment. ”sorry, I just… I squeal when I get super happy all of a sudden,” she blushed heavily and touched her cheeks, hoping he didn’t notice her blushing. ”Really?” she asked, biting her lip. ”I…I like you too,” she admitted, ”I don’t regret the kiss either, I… I liked it a lot… I guess it is really seven minutes in heaven, huh?” she joked and giggled a little, still blushing.

Dean smiled at her slightly when she smiled lightly. He gave her a small nod as he watched her sip her arms into the sleeves. "Not a problem, Zozo," He said and gave her another smile. He was nervous once his lips locked with hers that she wouldn't kiss back or that she would pull back and slap him or something. He couldn't help but relax lightly when he felt her kiss him back and he smiled against her lips lightly. When he pulled back, he couldn't help the smile that appeared on his face as he looked at her. She looked so adorable with her eyes slowly opening and the light blush to her cheeks.

He reached up and placed her hands on her cheeks for a moment, rubbing them gently with his thumbs as she blushed. She was so adorable when she blushed and he couldn't help but smile again as he watched her smile grow at his words. That smile made him happy. It meant that she wasn't going to reject him. At least, he didn't think that she would. He laughed lightly when she squealed and nodded his head. "I know that you squeal when you are excited. I have heard you do it before. So don't be embarrassed. It is really cute when you do it," He said and smiled at her. He had always found it extremely cute when she did that and now was no different. He nodded at her question and smiled at her. "Really." He gave another nod as confirmation. He couldn't help but the smile that lit up his face when she told him that she liked him too and that she didn't regret the kiss. He laughed lightly at her little joke and nodded. "Yeah. I guess it really is," He told her as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him before leaning down and kissing her again.

Zoey wasn’t sure how this happened, now every time Dean touched her or just the way he looked at her, she felt like she could just melt right there on the spot. His thumbs felt warm on her cheeks, it was nice, and she could see it in his face that he really did care about her, even if she already knew that due to recent events. She blushed some more, it was so different liking someone that already knew you so well. He had known her since she was little; he knew all of her flaws, habits, and quirks. She smiled when he said it was cute when she squealed in excitement, she wondered if he had always thought that, but either way, it didn’t matter. He thought it now; he liked her right here in this moment. She never thought she’d see the day where Dean liked her, he could have anybody, why would he like Brady’s little sister? She felt like she had just won the grand prize for a contest, she didn’t even know she was entered in. She still wasn’t sure if this was a dream, but if it was, she didn’t want it to end.

She smiled back at him as he wrapped his arms around her tiny waist, she loved how perfectly she fit into his arms, she had always noticed that whenever they hugged. It was one of the reasons why she loved hugging him so much. She wasn’t expecting him to kiss her again, but she wasn’t complaining, in fact, she found her hands touching his arms and sliding up. Eventually her arms were wrapped around his neck as she returned the kiss, this time enjoying it with the idea that they liked each other so this was okay. She pulled away but kept him close, letting their foreheads keep touching as she looked back at him. ”wait, so… what does this mean?” she asked, ”this… us…?” she didn’t want to assume anything, so why not ask.

[DEAN JAMES TORRES]

Dean couldn't help but think that his dreams where finally coming true. He had wanted to be with Zoey for longer than he realized and now he might actually be getting that chance. He always thought that they belonged together, they just fit so well together, almost like they were made for each other. Not only that, but they meshed well together. They were both similar in personality and could always have fun together no matter what they were doing together.

He smiled lightly against her lips as he felt her slide her arms up and around his neck. He looked at her as she pulled back slightly and he rested his own forehead against hers. He paused when she asked him what this all meant, not really sure how to answer. He wanted them to be a them. He always did. But was this the right time? With everything that she went through and with everything that was going on with Brady? He knew that the rest of the Furious Five would approve, but would Brady?

After a moment Dean returned his attention to her and smiled lightly at her. "Well, if you are okay with it," He started as he looked at her, "I would really like to give, this, you and me together, a shot." He looked at her for a minute. "And I know it's probably not the best time with everything that happened between you and the jerk and with what is happening with your brother, but there might never be a right or perfect time. Sometimes we just have to make our own right time." He looked at her when he was finished to see what she would say. He knew that he probably sounded like a cliche from one of the romance movies she always talked him into watching with her, but he didn't care. He would be a corny cliche for Zoey.

Zoey never thought she’d be in Dean’s arms, at least not in this way, this was way more intimate than other times she was in his arms. He was like her knight in shining denim, always being there for her, he had never disappointed her and had always been such an amazing friend to her. It only made sense that he was the one she should be with, he had a way of just knowing what to say or do to make her feel better and take care of her. With him, she felt safe and cared for, and she never had to worry if Dean would ever hurt her, because it wasn’t like him. He was a great guy inside and out, if only she had realized that she even had a chance with him sooner. All that mattered now though was that this was happening right now.

As she waited to see what his response would be, she found her fingers playing with the hair on the back of his head comfortably. His hair felt so soft against her fingers, she almost wanted to ask what conditioner he used, but now wasn’t the right time for a question like that. As she waited for his reply, she bit her lip nervously. She nodded lightly, smiling a little at his words. He had such a way with words, she was starting to feel like they were in some sort of romance movie, which only made her smile more. ”You and me together, I like the sound of that,” she smiled and nodded. ”I want to too,” she replied, knowing that there had been so much going on in her life recently, but it was about time for something good to happen, right? She deserved that much. ”does this mean I can call you my boyfriend now?” she asked, blushing a little. She kissed him but pulled away quickly as a thought came to mind, her eyes widened, ”wait, who’s gonna tell Brady?” she asked, a little scared of her brother’s reaction to it, but she really wanted this to happen so she knew it had to be done.”1,2,3! Not it!” she said quickly and stuck her tongue out at him, giggling. She knew she was being childish, but that was Zoey for you and Dean had to be used to it already.
