Honestly I'm surprised how popular this got. Not a lot of attention but hey, everybody reading this is perfect and I love you all. Sorry for the late post... school is kicking my ass. ;-; sorry again. LOVE YOU GUYS!! ♡♡♡

-----------------------------------------------------------

We walked down the street, close besides one another. Not that we wanted to, because Manhattan was always so crowded, now matter what time of day it was. We kept our conversations to a minimum. Again, not because we wanted to because we had to. Sometimes, people are so damn noisy. After a long, loud walk, we finally reached Pie Pantry.

"Ahh..." Dean breathed in. "Smells delicious." I could practically see the drool coming out of his mouth.

"Ah don't get so wet about it." I brushed the side of his arm.

"C'mon." He grabbed my arm. "Let's go in."

Dean dragged me through the glass doorways and we were greeted with smiling faces. Everything wasn't as flashy as you'd expect here in New York. There wasn't as much people inside but enough to keep the place noisy. It was a nice place really and it smelt absolutely AMAZING!

This place had nobody in it yet it was so lively. Everyone had smiles and pie on their faces. Then a girl came by, maybe in her late teens years, with a smile on here face. Her hair was in a clean tight bun anf she held two menus.

"Just the two of you?" Her words were even happier than her face. Dean just nodded his head and smile.

"Yeah." He said quickly before shooting a glance at me.

"Right this way." She turned around and walked with a little bounce in her step while leading us to a vacant table. "Will this be ok?" We both sat down opposite of each other and nodded at the waitress. "Excellent." She took out a pen and a pad. "Can i start you boys off with any drinks?"

"I'll just have an ice water please." I fixed my sleeves a little bit. She nodded her head and looked at Dean.

"Aaaand you?"

"A beer, please." He smiled and grabbed his menu.

"Alright I'll get that right out for you guys." She smiled and walked away. I fumbled with a napkin that was on the table already.

"Oh man," Dean said with a smirk. "Check this out." He held up his menu and pointed. "Cherry pie... the classic." He chuckled a bit and looked up at me. "What are you getting?

I glanced up to realize I hadn't even touched my menu. I liked in the cover and saw an apple and blueberry pie with a scoop if vanilla ice cream on top. I pointed to it and said, "That... whatever that is." Just then the waitress came back with our drinks.

"Are you two all set to order?" She grabbed out her pen and pad one again.

"I'll have two slices of cherry pie please." Dean filed up his menu and have it to the waitress.

"Alright," she wrote it down. "And you?" She looked at me, pen ready.

"I'll just have this." I pointed the the pie on the cover.

"The apple-blueberry?" She wrote it down and nodded. "Alright! They'll be out in just a few minutes." She smiled, grabbed my menu, and walked off.

I looked at Dean to find him already staring. I just stared back until he started to smirk. I felt my face burn red so I quickly looked away.

"You're cute when you're nervous." What did he just say to me? Did I imagine that? I looked at him. "Well aren't you gonna say anything? Or are you just gonna continue and stare?" I felt my face flame up.

"I-I uhh just thought I saw something on your face." I bluntly lied through my teeth. I'm not much of a liar but I've been told I'm horrible at it.

Dean just shook his head, smiling. "You're so bad at lying."

I tensed up and frowned. "No I'm not!"

"Oh and you're stubborn, too!" He threw a wad of his straw wrapper at my face.

"I will cut you!" I'm not a very threatening person either.

Dean just laughed. "You're so cute!"

I was about to say something but then the waitress came with our pies. Dean was practically drooling. My pie was delicious. After minutes of small talk and pie eating, I look around, then at Dean. There was cherry pie insides on his cheek. "There's uh." I touched my face where it was on him. "No no no. Other side. No. Down more. Up up... ugh. Let me get it." And without thinking I stood up and licked his cheek. I sat down and seconds later I realized what I have done. "Oh god." I felt my face burn like hell itself. "I uhhh. I didn't mean to- I'm sorr-"

(quick authors note! I wrote that paragraph when I was a cringe 15 year old! +I'm 19 now lmao+ but please excuse how bad that was!! Thank you)

"No worries." Dean smiled amd took another bite. "I know cherry is just that good." He winked at me before taking a swig of his beer.

Before I knew it, both plates were empty and our stomachs were full. The waitress came by woth the recipient. I went to go reach for it when Dean hit my hand.

"NO! This is on me. I set up the date, I pay for it."

"But I feel guilty when I don't help pay at least!" I tried to reach for the receipt when he held it above his head.

"Well then..." he said very quietly. He stared in my eyes and his lips curled.  "I guess you'll just have to give me payback." He winked and walked towards the front, where you have to pay. I quickly followed him, staying close behind. My face would just burn off my now. I probably looked like a walking tomato.

Dean payed for the pie and we began to walk back to his car. We didn't talk much but there seemed to be less people. When we arrived at his car he opened the trunk and grabbed my suitcase. Then he shut it anf we just stood there. The silence seemed like an eternal scream. "So I guess I'll see you Monday?" I managed to squeak out.

"Maybe we can hang out again," Dean got closer. "And maybe this time we can go to my house." He began to scratch down something on a gum wrapper he had in his pocket. "Here, my number." Her handed it to me. "This one is my personal." I grabbed it and stuffed it in my pocket.

"I'll text you then..." I scratch the back of my neck.

He hesitated then headed for his car. I began to walk towards the bus stop, then I realized how late it really was. The bus wasn't out this late.

"Uh Dean?" He poked his head up. "Can I have a ride please?"

"Hop in." He sat down and started the engine. I got in on the other side and put my suit case in the back seat. We started to pull away. I gave him the address to my apartment. In about 5 minutes of classic rock we were there. I sat there for a minute staring at my building.

"Thanks again, Dean." I grabbed my suit case. "This was really fun." I sat there for 2.3 seconds before I quickly and nervously, kissed his cheek. He quickly smirked and looked in my eyes as I realized in horror what I just did. He grabbed my cheek and pulled me in for a kiss. I sat there, in shock. Not only because my assistant was kissing me, but because he also had super soft lips. I relaxed and began to kiss back. After a minute he pulled away.

"Goodnight." He smiled.

"Goodnight." I whispered.
