Chapter 5
Chapter Five
"I might have to drive you around for a lot longer," Dean says when I climb into his car a week later. I am supposed to be getting my car back in the next few days but if I am being honest I don't want it back. I have been loving all this time with Dean, I know nothing will really change but it's nice having this time just him and I.
"What?" I laugh. "Now, Why is that?"
"Cause you are for sure getting your license suspended," he informs. Confusion spread across my face so he continued, "you are driving all these guys crazy".
"What guys?" I ask, chuckling.
"Why? Why do you always have to ruin my pickup lines?" he pouts, turning the car back on. Over the past week every time I get into his car he tells me a pick up line. A different one every day.

Friday
Did you just come out of the oven? Because you're hot.
Monday
Are you a bank loan? Because you got my interest.
Tuesday
Are you a time traveler? Cause I see you in my future!
Wednesday
Is this the Hogwarts Express? Because it feels like you and I are headed somewhere magical.

"Cause they all suck," I state trying to hold back my laughter.
"They are amazing. What are you talking about?" He says his pout is still placed on his amazing, plump lips. I couldn't take my eyes off of them, well that was until they turned into a cocky smirk telling me that I had been caught.
I quickly look out the window and say, "No they are not," in a sassy but flirty tone.
I look back over at him and see a tiny pout laying on his lips, "They may not be that good but I love all of them," I tell him with a small smile.
He smiles as well before saying, "when do you get your car back?"
"Oh you want me gone, don't you?" I say in a joking tone but I was honestly kinda scared he did.
"No. I just want to know when I am going to lose you so I can prepare myself," he says seriously.
"You are not going to lose me," I promise. He looks over at me with his big green eyes looking for reassurance. "You are NOT going to lose me," I repeat.
"And you won't ever lose me," he says emphasizing the word 'ever'.
The rest of the car ride was silent, it wasn't awkward or weird at all, we just enjoyed each other's presence.
After Dean parks the car and we both climb out, we start our trip into the school. "Yo, Dean. Come over here," one of Dean's 'friends' called.
Dean gives me a questioning look; I nod and we part ways, me into the school and Dean over to his friends.
"You and Dean are getting awfully close," Jo states when I get to my locker.
"We are just friends," I say for the hundredth time over the past week; not just to Jo but to everyone. People are so interested in Dean's life that if there is one new person in his life everyone wants to know everything about that person. It's becoming a little annoying. This time, though, when I said it there was a tiny pang in my chest. I don't know why, I don't know if I want to.
"Whatever you say," she says, putting her hands up in defence.
"Princess," I hear someone yell from behind me.
I turn around to see Dean walking towards Jo and I, "Princess?" Jo questions quietly.
"Princess, are you ready for class?" he asks standing right behind me as I look at Jo.
"Jo, Do you want me to walk you to class?" I ask before answering Dean's question.
"No, it's fine. I will see you in second period. I love you" she says before turning around and walking in the direction of her class.
"I love you too," I call. I finally answer Dean's question, "yeah I'm ready".
"Ok," I say before we head to class.
"Good morning class," my teacher calls after the bell rings.
Just like every other day, when the bell rang telling everyone class was over, Dean walked me to my next class before walking to his own. "He called you princess," was the first thing Jo said to me when I walked in.
"Uh yeah," I say awkwardly sitting at my desk; Jo standing right infront of it.
"When did that start?" she asks a little nervously.
"Um. . . last week. When he walked me home," I say in a whisper.
"And you just never thought to tell me about it," she asks a little harshly.
"Well it never came up," I say nonshalontly.
"Abby, Princess is kinda a romantic nickname for just friends," she says putting air quotes around 'just friends'.
"Jo, it's really nothing. It's just a little thing he does," I say blushing a little.
" 'A little thing he does… Seriously?"
"I mean yeah," I mutter.
"Oh come on," she groans.
"What?"
"You two are obviously more than friends," she states.
"No we are not," I say sternly.
"When you guys start dating I will say I told you so," she says before sitting at the desk next to mine.
"Guess you'll never get to say it then," I declare honestly believing what I had said. I mean, yes, I do have some sorta feeling for Dean but he could never like me back in any sort of way.
"We'll see," she remarked.
"Sure," I laugh.

Friday
"Hi, Princess," Dean says when I walk out of my last period.
"What are you doing here? I thought we were meeting at your car just like the past week..." I ask.
"I got out of class early and thought I would pick you up," he informs me as we walk towards my locker.
"Well thank you," I say blushing a little. I grab all my things from my locker before we start to make our way towards Dean's car.
When we climb in Dean looks over at me and says,"so, I was uh thinking... do you want to hang out tomorrow?"
"Wow we are expanding our friendship from school?" I ask a little surprised.
"Yes... now do you want to?" he says a little shortly, out of nerves. I didn't think Dean West could get this nervous, it's kinda adorable. No. Stop. He is not adorable. Yes he is. Shut up. WE ARE JUST FRIENDS.
"I would love to hang out with you tomorrow," I smile.
For the rest of the car ride we talk about a few different things, but it wasn't until we got to my house before we spoke about the next day. "What time should I pick you up tomorrow?"
"Uh, what time do you want to pick me up?"
"2," he suggests.
"Sounds good," I say before climbing out of the beautiful car.
"I'll see you tomorrow Princess," Dean calls as I walk up to my front door.
"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow," I call back.
