Hydrophobia

Chapter 8

I had to tell Jo about everything. I just had to. She was my best friend right now, and I had to spill everything to her. Her reaction was priceless! She screamed and jumped all around, hugging me again and again exclaiming how shocked and happy she was for me. I couldn't help but smile at her, she was so cute.

After practice, Dean embraced me, full of compassion. And he brushed some of the bangs from my eyes as he picked up my hand to kiss my fingers. I felt at peace. Complete serenity, as I was in the arms of Dean Winchester. I fixed my glasses as he rubbed my arms slowly. When it was time for him to leave, he didn't want to let go of my hand. I giggled and told him to go. He smirked and walked away, throwing me his signature kiss. I waved small, a smile growing on my face.

"You are so in love, aren't you?" Jo said, her sanding next to me. Her sudden appearance  made me jump and yelp. She laughed. It made me wonder how long she's been watching.

"H-How long have you been there...?" I asked, nervous and embarrassed, my cheeks flushed red.

"I come out of the building and I see him throwing kisses at you! And that smile you had? OMG."  She answered.

Thank God. She didn't see everything.

"O-Oh... you saw that?" I brushed some haf behind my ear, trying my best to not show my blushes to much.

"Yes!" She scoffed. "And you're in love with him, it's all over your face!"

"N-No... I'm not." I said, in denial.

"Oh common'! Who do you think you're kidding! He's like earth and heaven to you!"

" Stop it Jo..." I replied, trying my best not to laugh.

"Don't try and keep it hidden... Listen to me when I say, you, my friend, have got it bad!" She nudged my arm.

"I won't say I'm in love!" I  exclaimed, giggling and nudged her back.

"Cas , don't be proud," She whispered. "It's okay you're in love." She pulled me into her arms and hugged me warmly.

"Well, at least out loud, I won't say it."  I replied, both of us laughing afterwards. She pulled me back and patted my shoulder.

"Good luck Friday." She smiled, that same happy, bright, gleaming smile.

I counted the seconds to that day. And soon enough, it came.

The school day flashed by. It's like time was speeding up so I can go on that-- date. Dean smiled at me through the hallways, when ever I saw him, shooting me with those gorgeous green eyes. And all throughout classes, I couldn't stop thinking about him. Or what he had 'planned' for us. I thought his smile, his eyes, his shirtless body during practice... it made me sigh and smile like crazy.

For now, I'm at home. Staring at myself in the long mirror I had against the wall of my room. I started to feel hysterical, and if I was actually ready to do this. My heartbeat was normal, but each beat felt like my heart was going to explode out of my body. I stared at myself. I had black pants on, with black shoes, a long sleeve button down shirt, and a navy tie. It was loose, and backwards. I tied it completely wrong.

"Are you ready?" Raphael knocked on my door.  I replied yes, and he walked in. He looked at me, smiling. "You look nice..."

"Raph... I'm so scared..." I stammered, tears falling down my cheeks. Raph walked up to me and gave me one of his famous hugs. I hugged him back tightly. Sobbing in his chest. He rubbed my back, trying to comfort me.
