Chapter 93 - What It Feels Like To Dream With Your Eyes Wide Open
Dean and April drove away from Martins house. Dean held Aprils hand as he drove steadily weaving through the streets and traffic. Dean felt the meet the parents had gone really well so he sat happily contemplating their next move.
April was happy that her father had accepted Dean after one conversation. They had battled so heavily in her past life and she hoped that this time around it would be smooth sailing from here on. April glanced out of the window as the car moved smoothly through the busy streets. She had tried to take her hand out of Dean's as she wanted to fix her hair but he only held on tighter.
Giving up she asked, "Does this." April lifted their joint hands, waving them. "Not put you off driving?"
Dean lifted her hand to his lips smiling before he kissed her hand. Seeing her eye roll he laughed and replied, "Nope."
April rolled her eyes again and decided to bring up what had just happened at her father's house, "Sorry about my family. Well, my father seemed to like you a lot and Tom is great… It's just the other two that are…" April searched for the right words to use.
"Delusional, idiotic, scheming, I could think of more if you need more help. But I am sure you have your own ideas on which words you would like to use" Dean replied.
April laughed and agreed they shared the same thoughts, "They are all that and more and I do but they aren't worth thinking about. Rachel will try and get close to you now, I can read her thoughts she probably wants to fix you up with Lucy."
"They have no mission," Dean replied. They had just pulled into their condominium underground car park and Dean turned off the engine.
"Really and why is that?" April asked as she turned to Dean.
"I love you! "Dean answered matter of factly while leaning forward still with their hands linked. Seeing her shock he added, "I didn't fall in love with you because I thought you are cute or sexy with thick thighs and a nice a*s. I fell in love with you because every time I heard your voice, I got a tingle in my stomach. I fell in love with you because your touch feels safe. I fell in love with you because every time I see your smile my whole world lit up and froze for a second. I fell in love with you because you are my person."
Dean poured his heart out hoping to silence her worries. It also made his heart lighter to finally say the words he had wanted to since he woke up in this new lifetime.
"I love you too." April then leaned forward pressing a kiss to his jaw, seeing his dazed expression she asked. "You good?"
"Oh, I am more than good." Dean's voice was light and raspy but slightly choked with emotion. "You should probably say it one more time, though. Just for good measure."
April smiled up at him and got out of the car and Dean followed catching up to her. He held her hand and watched her as they walked together, she laughed he was like a puppy waiting for his treat so she answered him "I love you, Dean."
"Goddam, those are some pretty words babe." Dean was over the moon he had taken the initiative and now they were both on the same page and sharing.
April rolled her eyes and walked towards the lift. "You are so cheesy."
"Yeah, but you love me anyway so there is no way to get rid of me now." Dean caught up with her holding her hand again as they entered the lift together.
"I'm just wondering did I hit my head today." April teased.
"Don't even think of taking back your words," Dean responded to her tease. "You love me."
"I sure do. "April smiled as she continued to tease him.
Dean's heart raced at her words, finally, he thought. "And I love you." He answered with a tone filled with unshaking sincerity, "So f*cking much." Dean crushed their lips together and kissed her passionately.
April heard the bing of the lift and pushed his muscular chest away, "Alright dork, let's get home first."
"Okay, babe." Dean beamed and pulled her by the hand to her apartment and took out his keys. He opened the door quickly and spun her inside.
April righted herself and set her bag down on the sofa as she turned towards the kitchen but her steps were halted, she was met with Dean's luminous amber eyes.
Dean pulled her in and kissed his way down from her lips to her neck, with his hands he traced her back before zipping down her dress and removing it. She wore only a pair of black Calvin Klein's underneath. Dean then picked her up by her slim waist and lowered her onto the dining room table.
Dean then leaned down and spoke into her ear, his warm breath sending a chill down her neck, "You should hold on to me." Dean's silky voice entered her ears.
With shaking hands, she placed them around his muscular back all the while continuously staring into his eyes, lost in their magic.
One side of Dean's lips curved up showing his dimple, "Good girl."
April felt her heart race with anticipation and lust.
Dean dipped his head and started to trail soft butterfly kisses down her neck to her cleavage, "So good."
April was lost in his soft touches and kisses but she soon heard Dean's belt hit the floor and her heart sped up, she wanted him as much as he wanted her right now.
Dean kissed his way up to her lips and he kissed her lips with feverish passion and desire.
April held on to his strong back as she felt him enter her in one swift movement. They both moaned out in pleasure as he filled her.
April couldn't speak, she could only scream for him, she could only let herself fall harder with each deep thrust and whispered praise from his lips.
A few hours later Dean was watching the sunrise and April was sleeping in his embrace on their bed. He held her against his body and felt her warmth not only touch his body but his heart, she was his and by his side. When you find the one who brings warmth to your life how could he bare to part with her.
Dean smiled to himself in that quiet moment and thought 'so this is what it feels like to dream with his eyes wide open.'
