Chance Encounters

All in the Family

Stretching in your bed, you couldn't believe the big smile that would not leave your face. It stayed on as you finally slipped from your bed, your feet padding in the soft carpet as you made your way dreamily to the bathroom. Reliving last night, you slipped into the shower, remembering how Jensen had gently kissed your cheek before wishing you a good night, promising to make some time today.

His lips had been warm, and softer than you had expected, and your skin tingled while thinking about it. Stepping back out of the shower, you stared into your closet, chewing on your lip as you planned your outfit for the day. You wanted to look special for Jensen, but your wardrobe left much to be desired. Pulling out a pair of slim black pants, you took out your only festive shirt, a silky red long sleeved number that showed a little more cleavage than your others. 

After quickly applying your makeup, and twisting your hair into a french twist, you slipped out of your room, relishing the quiet of the early morning. Walking down the deserted hallway, you slipped into the kitchen, talking the cook into giving you a cinnamon roll to go. With that, and a cup of coffee, you made your way into your office, sitting down at the desk before starting in on your treat. 

As you munched happily away, your door opened and Maureen strode in. "I take it the date went well last night." She said, sipping on her coffee while perching herself on the edge of your desk.

"It went amazing. He's amazing. And I don't know why I'm saying amazing so much." You blabbered, your cheeks flushing as you remembered how attentive Jensen had been.

"Because you're happy. I've never seen you like this. I like it." She said, ripping off a piece of your cinnamon roll. "So, now what?"

You popped the rest of it in your mouth before answering. "Truthfully, I don't know. He said he wants to spend some time with me today, but he's so busy. I guess we will see. But no matter what, last night was worth it."

"I'll look over the schedule, see if I can figure something out. Speaking of schedule, I need to head down to the vendor's room. It''s opening soon, and I want to be there in case someone needs anything."

"I'll join you." You said, knowing that Brian would be here soon, and you didn't want to be cornered in your office again. Standing up, you tossed your napkin in the trash before following her down the still pretty silent hallway.

"So, did you kiss him?" She asked you as you walked.

"What? No!" You insisted. "But he did kiss me on the cheek."

"Ooh, the cheek." She teased. "How daring."

"Hey, we've only known each other for a little bit. I thought it was nice." You argued. "So, what's our plan for today?" You asked, changing the topic.

The next couple of hours went by fairly fast, with you and Maureen making a tour of the convention area, making sure everything was as it should be, and the green room was still freshly stocked.

It was then the two of you split up, her heading to the ballrooms double doors, ready to help as excited fans entered for the day. You stayed towards the back, greeting the actors as they came staggering down the hidden hallway. "So, you're the beautiful woman that Jensen took out last night. All I can say is it's about time." A spunky, short haired woman said as she walked by you. 

"Excuse me?" You asked, as she stopped. 

"You heard me. The man's been single far too long. And you seem like a nice person. Kim Rhodes by the way." She said, holding her hand out, and you shook it. 

"Thank you. But it was just one night." You insisted, as another woman came up, this one blonde and bubbly.

"So, one night is all it takes for a spark to ignite." She said. "Sorry, I heard part of your conversation. I'm Brianna, and her partner in crime."

"It's nice meeting you." You said, not knowing what else to say.

"Come on. You can meet the rest of the gang." She said, wrapping her arm through yours, pulling you along to the green room.

"Listen, I would love to. But I'm working." You tried arguing, but she wasn't taking no for an answer. 

"You are working. You are making sure we have what we need. And right now we need to get to know you better." Kim said as she pushed open the door. A couple of men were already in there, digging into the breakfast food you had the kitchen bring in.

"Hey!" Brianna yelled, getting all of their attentions. "This is Y/N! The woman Jensen went out with last night!"

"Does everyone know?" You whispered, feeling overwhelmed. 

"Of course. We're a family." Kim said, grabbing a very handsome and muscular man, dragging him over. "And this is the stripper of the family, better known as Matt."

"It's a pleasure meeting you." He said, holding his hand out. "And I'm not a stripper. They just make me take my shirt off for charity."

"I bet you raise a lot of money that way." You blurted out.

Everyone chuckled, before a blonde man in a tight v-neck t-shirt came forward. "Careful for this one." Brianna whispered in your ear.

Expecting him to shake your hand, you held it out, but he pulled you in a tight hug, before pressing his lips to yours, shocking you speechless. "Hey there gorgeous. I'm Sebastian. And when you get bored with Jensen, I'll be waiting."

You weren't sure what to do, or say, so you looked to Kim for help. "Sebastian, you're scaring the girl." She said, and he stepped back.

"And you already know Richard and Rob probably." She said, and you nodded. "Then that leaves Gil."

With that, the only man left, a slender, handsome man came forward with a kind smile on his face. "Hi, I hope we're not overwhelming you too much." He said, and you smiled back at him.

"No, not really. It's just a lot to take in." You admitted, just as the door opened and Jensen and Jared walked in. Seeing you, his face lit up in a bright smile, and he made his way right towards you. Ignoring the whispers going on around you, you gazed up into his amazing green eyes, waiting for him to talk first.

"I'm so glad to see you in here. I couldn't stop thinking about you last night." He said quietly, but you could still hear the teasing going on behind you.
