[b]LEXI[/b] The fact that Dean kept on smiling at her after making her stammer a little to try and hide her truth before shrugging it off and going back to work, drove Lexi absolutely crazy inside. She knew by not saying 'okay fine yeah I do' was also it's own admission. He was quite literally going to break her one day with how his brain worked and he weaseled under her skin in the way he did. She tried to not watch him as he leaned back to wipe his forehead of the sweat beginning to form, deciding that she wasn't going to be that kind of woman who ogled at her other half whilst he worked, even if they were even an item at this point. As he quickly pulled off his shirt, throwing it onto the same motorcycle that had his jacket, her eyes glanced up and saw him now completely topless, sweaty and absolutely tempting. She bit her bottom lip as she tried to force herself to look away and restrain herself, whilst he acted like this was totally casual and normal, declaring he needed a break. [i]'Dean, you are treading on dangerous ground here....'[/i] she thought to herself, trying to keep her composure, but that was all for nought when he walked over to her and stood incredibly close. Feeling his hips against hers, she looked him in the eyes, trying desperately not to moisten her lips and bite her bottom lip all over again when she felt his lips upon hers. She kissed him back, slightly chasing his lips as he pulled back, being a complete tease with her. Opening her eyes to look at him, she smirked, "oh you uhh...you...think?" She stammered, for the first time since they met, she actually felt lost for words and mentally broken by his actions. Lexi wondered how she was going to get herself out of this situation, or if she even wanted to get out of this situation. "So how much more are you gonna tease me like this? Because you're making it incredibly difficult to keep my mind straight" she told him, lifting her hand up and waving it front of his chest slowly, trying so hard not to touch him. [b]SAM[/b] It wasn't Sam's intention to make Anya frown at his words but he knew he couldn't keep his wish for her hidden. He didn't want to see another person he was drawn to lose such a positive aspect of themselves to the job. He couldn't imagine Anya being closed off and stoic like he himself sometimes was. He just wanted her to forever bubbly and optimistic. He missed the days where he smiled more, pulled pranks on Dean and everyone else in their now disbanded group. He missed finding pure joy in normal things, or not having to really make an effort to find said joy in things. He missed having the group together, he missed the glue that held them all together in Mika....he missed Mika. As Anya typed on her phone, he glanced down and read what she wanted to say back to him. Reading the reply, he had to smile as she mentioned about wanting to give him that optimism back. How she saw the old him in him, he didn't know but he was glad that someone did. He pulled her closer after she kissed his shoulder, holding her to him for warmth, comfort and the feeling of being close to someone. It was in this moment that he knew she was his new start, the new chapter in his life he so desperately needed and deserved. There was only so long he could dwell on the past and those who were in it. There was no going back and he had to accept that. Anya was that key to accepting it and he welcomed it with open arms. "I'm glad you're the way you are Anya. You have no idea how much I want to be happy again" he confided in her. "With everything that's happening or happened, I some kind of normalcy back in my life" he admitted.
