Lady luck please let the dice stay hot. Let me shoot a seven with every shot. Viva Las Vegas.”
March 15, 2002
Lexi sat in the passenger seat staring out the window bored out of her mind. They had only been driving for five hours and she already had cabin fever. She glanced over at Dean sighing, “We could've just flown ya know. If it was a money thing you could've just paid me back whenever.”
“It wasn't a money thing.” Dean replied as he glanced in her direction. “Lex, I wanted to drive.”
Lexi studied Dean with an arched eyebrow for a beat then asked, “Are you afraid to fly?”
“NO.” Dean said a little too quickly his hands gripping the steering wheel tighter.
“Oh my God you are! Dean, why...”
“I dunno, I just am, Lex. Not like it's an issue or anything. I can't get on a plane with weapons to hunt. Can we just drop it?”
“Sure.” Lexi smiled then reaches towards the radio. “How about some music?”
“Yeah, ok.”
“OH I love this song!” She grinned as the sound of 'Leather and Lace' filled the car. Lexi turned up the volume and started singing along. “Lovers forever, face to face. My city or mountains, stay with me stay. I need you to love me, I need you today. Give to me your leather, take from me my lace.”
“Seriously, Lex?” Dean questioned trying hard not to smirk.
“Oh c'mon it's Stevie Nicks and Don Henely. Don't act like you don't like it.”
Dean shrugged then looked at her smiling slightly as he sang off key, “Could you ever love a man like me? And you were right when I walked into your house, I knew I'd never want to leave...”
Lexi giggled then joined in by singing Stevie Nicks part.
The rest of the morning went by fast in the Impala. They left the radio on a classic rock station and the two of them sang along to every song. Dean sang off key loudly which made Lexi smile and laugh. Even though Dean couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, Lexi still thought his singing was adorable. He looked so happy and care free behind the wheel that she was glad that they were driving to Las Vegas even if it was a twenty seven hour drive.
Dean pulled into the first In N Out Burger they saw. Lexi really didn't care where they ate lunch at this point. All she wanted was out of the car. Not that it was a bad road trip but after being in the car for eight hours she needed to stretch her legs. Lexi turned towards Dean stating seriously, “I think the American road trip is highly over rated.”
“Why do you think that, babe?”
“Because the whole fricking country looks the same. It's all gas stations, fast food and cheap motel chains and Walmart.”
“It ain't that bad.”
“Seriously, Dean? Every road we've been on today had all those things over and over and over again.”
“Oh yeah? Well what about In N Out?” Dean asked her as he got out of the Impala.
“In N Out is the exception. There's so not enough of them.”
“This burger better live up to your hype.”
“Oh trust me it will.”
Dean slid into the booth across from Lexi with a raised eyebrow. He had to admit it the place smelled awesome but that didn't mean that the burger was any good. He did however, take Lexi's advice and got his double meat with cheese and order of fries animal style. But despite that, Dean was still skeptical.
Lexi popped a fry into her mouth and watched as Dean took his first bite. Dean's eyes slid shut the moment the burger hit his tongue eliciting a low, pornographic moan from the back of his throat.
“Well?”Lexi questioned him while she lifted her own cheese burger to her lips.
“Oh my God, the legends are true! Lex, you've been holding out on me.” Dean mumbled around a mouthful of cheese burger. “This is the best burger I've ever had!”
“Right? I told you so.” Lexi studied Dean for a moment then shook her head. His eyes were closed and he was making little moans of pleasure as he chewed. She kicked his foot lightly under the table and smirked, “Though, you keep moaning like that over your burger and I'm gonna get a complex. It sounds like you like that burger more than sex.”
“It's up there but it's not as good as sex with you. Ya know what would make this place even more awesome?”
“Pie.”
Dean grinned at her looking very much like a six years old in Lexi's opinion as he said, “Exactly, pie. You know me so well, babe.”
“So, are we stopping somewhere tonight?” She asked before popping a fry into her mouth.
“I usually drive straight through when I'm going somewhere...” He replied as he continued to devour his food.
“Dean, it's a twenty seven hour drive and we've already driven for eight hours. Why not just drive until dinner and just stop for the night?”
“You wanna stop?”
“Yes. I wanna take a shower and sleep in a bed tonight. We can't check in till four tomorrow any way.”
“Ok, we'll stop.”
They stopped for the night at six o' clock. Dean wanted to go to the motor inn right off the highway but Lexi insisted they go to a hotel chain. After a bit of arguing, they ended up at a Comfort Inn with Lexi handing over her credit card to pay for the King Suite. Dean shook his head but said nothing in front of the desk clerk. As soon as the clerk handed over the room key, Dean took Lexi's bag from her then picked up his own and led her over to the elevator.
“Did you really have to get a suite?” Dean asked once the elevator doors closed. “We're only here for the night.”
She turned to him her eyebrow cocked, “Yes, I did. I wanted the jacuzzi tub.”
“What is it with you and tubs?”
“I like bubble baths.” She replied with a shrug.
March 18, 2002
Sam walked off the plane, his eyes immediately sweeping through the crowd in search of Jackie. His eyes landed on the familiar form of his older brother standing towards the back of the crowd. He readjusted his grip on his bag and made his way towards Dean.
“Hey Sammy.”
“Hey.”
“You need to go to the baggage claim?”
“Nah, I got everything in my carry on. Um, where's Jackie?” Sam asked while searching the crowd.
Dean smirked at his little brother giving his shoulder a smack. “Don't worry Sammy. Jackie's just hanging out with Lexi by the pool.”
“OH.”
“Yeah, man. You should see them.” Dean whistled shaking his head. “Smoking hot. Those little scraps of fabric they're wearing...”
“I get the picture Dean.”
“Whatever. Wait till you see the room we got at the Mirage. Two bedroom Tower Suite.”
“How'd you swing that? Wait don't tell me stolen credit card?”
“NO. I won a shit ton of money and they upgraded us.”
Dean brought Sam up to the room first so that he could drop his bag off. Sam's eyes swept across the spacious two bedroom, two bath suite with wide eyes. “Holy shit Dean how much money did you win?”
“A few grand give or take.” Dean clapped his hands together smiling as he did so. “I'm gonna go hang with Lexi by the pool. You coming?”
“You're wearing jeans Dean.”
“So, what? I don't do shorts and besides her and Jackie snagged a cabana this morning. I ain't gonna be in the sun.”
Once Sam changed into shorts and a t-shirt, he followed Dean down to the pool. They found the girls easily enough. Lexi and Jackie were lounging in a cabana, each with a drink in their hands. Sam's eyes drifted over both girls and then he swallowed. For once his older brother wasn't exaggerating when he said they looked hot.
Dean pushed Sam into the cabana as he announced, “Look who's finally here.”
Jackie looked up then smiled when her eyes landed on Sam. “Hey stranger.”
“Hey yourself.” He grinned dropping into the chair next to hers.
Dean looked between them then nudged Lexi. “How about we go back to the room and let these two have some alone time.”
Lexi raised an eyebrow saying, “You mean you want some alone time.”
“Yeah that too.” Dean grinned while pulling Lexi to her feet.
As soon as they were back in the room she grabbed two beers and headed out to the balcony. “Are you coming?” She called to Dean as she got into the hot tub.
“Nah, I'll pass.”
“I'm naked...”
“Why didn't you say that in the first place?” Dean replied before he walked out onto the balcony. He blinked at her and pulled a face. “You're not naked.”
“I know.” She shrugged. “ But maybe I will be if you get in here with me.”
“Come on Lex, get outta there so we can grab some dinner and go do something.”
“Alright but I wanna do something crazy.” She smiled.
Dean raised his eyebrow pointing at her with a grin, “We're not getting married by an Elvis impersonator.”
“Don't you wanna marry me?”
“Lex...” He sighed.
“I'm just messing with you. Let's get tattooes.”
Dean closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He loved the smell of tattoo shops. There was just something about it that calmed him and put a smile on his face. He followed Lexi over to the wall to look at designs. She flipped through them slowly giving Dean time to look at them himself. Neither one was a hundred precent sure what they wanted, they both just knew they wanted a tattoo. Besides they were in Vegas it was the perfect time to get spur of the moment ink.
“So, Lex, you know what you want?” Dean questioned her after they flipped through the first set of designs.
“I dunno yet.” She replied before turning to look up at him. Lexi shrugged her shoulders asking, “What do you think of matching tattooes?”
“Well, it depends. I ain't getting rainbows or unicorns. Nothing girly, that's nonnegotiable.”
“Ok. Well, I don't want anything manly then.”
“Fair enough.” Dean flipped through a couple more boards, then turned to Lexi. “You getting any ideas babe?”
Lexi smiled and nodded her head. “I got an idea. I don't know if you're gonna like it though...”
“What is it?” He asked wearily.
“I think we should get each other's name tattooed.”
Dean cocked his head to the side then grinned down at Lexi. “I'm in.”
The next morning Sam walked into the living area to find Dean letting in room service. Sam raised his eyebrow but didn't say a word until the attendent left. “When did you order room service?”
“Last night when me and Lex got back. You fill out the paper and check the time you want it delievered and stick it on the door handle.”
“Oh. What did you guys do last night?” Sam questioned as he began lifting the lids off the plates to see what Dean had ordered for them.
“We got dinner, did some gambling and drinking and we got tattooes. Lexi got a tattoo of my name on her right hip.” Dean paused, closes his eyes and then whistled, “Man it's sexy...”
Sam quirked his eyebrow at his older brother and asked, “Uh huh and what did you get Dean?”
“None of your business.” He replied a little too quickly.
“Oh shit you got her name didn't you?”
“Shut up.”
“YOU DID! LET ME SEE!” Dean huffed then pulled his t-shirt off. Sam blinked and then stared at his older brother with wide eyes. There on Dean's chest was 'Lexi' tattooed in black script. “You tattooed her name over your heart? Oh man that's...that's priceless. Wait was it her idea or yours?”
“Shut your face Sammy.” Dean snapped.
“It was your idea! Oh, Dean, that's just...” Sam couldn't hold back his laughter any longer. He burst out laughing. It wasn't just because of the tattoo but the look of indignation on his older brother's face that made Sam laugh so hard. It took him a good ten minutes before he could compose himself. “Wow, um that's...”
Dean glared at Sam and growled, “You know what, Sammy? You're gonna do that thing, where you just shut the hell up. Forever.”
“Or what?”
“You're gonna find some nair in your shampoo.” Dean snapped before pulling his t-shirt back on.
Sam found out the next day that Dean wasn't bluffing. After Sam had told Jackie about his brother's newly acquired tattoo, Sam's wallet was crazy glued shut. That's when the prank war between them offically started. Each prank escalated and by the third day both brothers were ready to kill the other.
Sam stared off into space rubbing his palm absent mindedly. Somehow during dinner last night Dean had managed to put crazy glue on the pepper jar without Sam seeing him. The moment he grabbed it he knew something was wrong. Dean was smirking at him, his green eyes lit up and that's when Sam knew. He wanted to throttle his older brother right there in the dining room but Jackie talked him down. His palm still stung and now he was determined to pull the ultimate prank on Dean. To do that he needed Jackie's help.
“So, I got an idea.” Sam stated casually while throwing a glance towards Jackie. “I need your help though.”
“Ok, what do you need?”
“You think you can forge a marriage certificate?”
March 23, 2002
Dean groaned when the harsh sunlight hit his face that seeped through the hotel curtains. He blinked his eyes a few times trying to get them to focus on the clock that now read 8:00 am. He grumbled to himself, head pounding, as he rubbed his eyes with the heel of his hand. Dean looked down at Lexi sleeping next to him with the trace of a small smile on his face. He reached down running his right fingertips lightly across her cheek. He would never say this out loud, especially to Lexi, but he loved waking up next to her. Dean wrapped his arms around her kissing and nibbling her neck, “Lex, baby, wake up.”
“Hmm…Dean, no I'm tired.” She mumbled sleepily, “And my head hurts. Stop kissing my neck….”
Tightening his grip, Dean smirked against her neck, “You didn't complain last night. At least I don't think you did...”
“Dean I wanna sleep…” she whined as she attempted to pull away from him, “I can't think straight when you do that.”
“I know.” He chuckled brushing his lips against her ear lobe and pulling her closer, “C'mon, one more time before Sammy comes bursting through that door bitching at us to get up.”
Lexi pushed lightly against his chest to get out of his grip. That's when Dean noticed the gold band on her left ring finger. He blinked and sat up, his eyes sweeping across the bedroom. There was a bouquet of flowers on the floor along with the clothes they both wore yesterday and something white. Dean's eyes widened, it looked like a veil, next to it a piece of paper. He closed his eyes trying to recall the events of last night but all he could remember was going down to the casino. He had played some poker and then him and Lexi played craps. They were winning and drinking a lot. He opened his eyes and looked down at his left hand. Sure enough, there was a gold band on his left finger that matched the one Lexi was now wearing.
