"What's up" he asked as he got to the living room, still chewing the toast. "Wow. You look pissed. What's wrong honey? Did I forget to do something again?" he teased, trying to make her laugh.
It didn't work.
"Wow" Jensen said, as he swallowed the toast and smacked his hands against each other. "You are not in a good mood"
"Yes I'm not" Katherine said. She began to pace the living room. "Look, I know you have really busy a lot lately. But I want you to remember that you also have responsibilities here at home. I don't want to have to keep handling stuff like this alone. I told you last night that Tim is having problems at school and I have to go see his principal. I was really hoping that you would come with me. You are supposed to be involved in this too. I can't handle everything alone especially when it comes to the kids."
Jensen sighed deeply."I know baby," he said. "And I'm sorry. I really am. I wis
"Oh really?" Katherine replied. "Well then, I am your mother and I'm going to make sure that you start to care from now on".Tim stared wide eyed at her. The expression on his face showed that he knew exactly what was coming next."You are grounded" Katherine said."What?" Tim asked like he couldn't believe what he had just heard."Yeah" Katherine said. "You heard me. You are grounded. And don't even act surprised. You should have known this was coming since you have been acting like a brat. So from now on, apart from school, and football games and practice, you are not allowed to leave the house for any reason. You will go from school, to practice and back home. You are not allowed to have any friends over too. You will stay at home and work on those assignments you missed ""I can't believe this" Tim said, shaking his head. "I'm sorry mom" he said, trying to look sincere.&nbs
"Of course you can" Jensen replied, as he relaxed in his chair. "Forgive me, I'm just... Really tired""It's fine" Shay replied. "I have to admit, I honestly couldn't believe it when I heard you got married. I mean it's you. You who hated getting into serious relationships and avoided them like a plague."Jensen sighed. "Well I guess things just change when you meet the right person, don't they?" he asked.Shay rolled her eyes. "The right person," she repeated. "Well, It's such a shame that things didn't go that far between us, you know we were really perfect together, you and I. Don't you agree?""Did you come to talk about that, Shay?" Jensen asked, sounding uninterested, "Because I have a lot of work to do"Shay frowned. "Is that your way of asking me out of your office, Jensen? Wow, that is so rude, you have never chased me out of a room before,
Katherine shook her head. They could talk about that later. "Tim isn't home yet Jensen" she said. "I have been trying to reach him but I can't get through to him. I'm really getting worried here."Katherine was staring at panic as lots of thoughts were going on in her head. What if something bad had happened to him? What if someone grabbed him? He didn't have his car. This was all her fault."What?" Jensen said. "He's not home by this time?""Yes" Katherine said, almost screaming with fear."Alright baby," Jensen said. "Don't panic. I will be home soon okay? We will figure this out. Try not to overreact""Okay" Katherine said, trying to calm herself down.------------------------By the time Jensen got home Katherine was totally loosing it."Is he home?" Jensen asked as soon a
Tim handed the phone to her, obviously frustrated that things had backfired."You are both so annoying " he yelled before he rushed to his room.Katherine buried her face in her hands. Confused about how she was feeling. She couldn't decide if she was more angry at Tim for being such a brat or relieved that he was back home and safe.. She sighed, and then she felt Jensen's hand on her shoulder."It's okay" Jensen said. "Don't worry so much about him. He is just acting out and being a teenager. It's normal. At least we know that he is safe and not into trouble. At least we know he is home."Katherine's anger returned in full force. She lifted her head and dropped her hands, then she turned to face him."Excuse me?" she said angrily and Jensen took one step backward."I'm in trouble too, am I not?" he asked.&nbs
He was acting so different that she was beginning to wonder if she did something wrong? How things had gotten to this extent she didn't know."You know I can't even look at you right now" she said. "So maybe you should just spend the night in one of the guest rooms""Great" Jensen said. "You read my mind"Katherine shook her head, but she didn't say anything else. She couldn't. Her perfect little family seemed to be falling apart right in front of heryand she couldn't really do anything about it. She felt so helpless. She moved past him and ran up stairs into the bedroom and only when she curled up in bed did she let the tears flow.-----------------------"Hey Tim" Dylan Winchester said as he shut his locker. "You are coming to my party tomorrow night, right?" he asked."Ermmm no. I don't think so. Sorry man" Tim replied regretf
Tim shook off Peter's hands. "No one asked for your opinion, Peter. And I don't have a thing or a crush on her. Not that it's any of your business if I did" he said defensively. Then he watched as Chloe opened her locker and withdrew some books""Relax man. Jeez" Peter said. "I'm just messing with you obviously""Well then" Dylan said to Tim. "From the look on your face, you look like you are scared of talking to her then. I totally understand if you like her though, she is kinda cute""What?" Tim said, though he knew deep in his heart that they were not entirely wrong. "Scared of what exactly? I'm not scared of talking to her. She's just a girl. There is nothing to be afraid of""Well then" Oliver chipped in "She is right there. Why don't you go talk to her"Tim gave him a look and swung his backpack over his shoulder. "No way. Go talk to her and say what?" he said. Then he added
"Why don't you practice what you preach sister, and oh, a piece of advice, that rolling thing you do with your eyes —doesn't look good at all. Just saying" Tim said.Chloe Gilbert had had enough of this arrogant jock and his friends. "Will you please get out of my way now.... Tim? Or does the hallway belong to you too? And oh, tell your friends that it's rude to just stand and stare... Like morons"She didn't wait for him to move this time but she brushed past him and was on her way. Tim turned around and watched her.It was weird. If someone else had spoken to him that way, he would have taken it pretty badly. Not that anyone ever did. He would be seeing Chloe Gilbert again. He was sure of that. And not just in class. At least she thought he was good looking.His friends hurried up to him."Well that didn't go well" Peter said."Shut up" Tim said
We don't talk much any more. He hasn't stopped the late coming... He says he is just busy at work. And I want to believe him... I do... But I just wish he could just understand that we miss him at home. I just see and feel this distance between us.. You know mom, I honestly don't know what to do"Delia nodded. "Maybe he is really busy, you know" she said. "and maybe he just wants you to be a bit more understanding. I understand how you feel too, but not talking about your problems won't make them go away. Nobody is going to fix it for you, so just make out time, whenever he's home and just talk to him... And no yelling "she added. "Just talk"Katherine smiled. "Fine. I won't yell" she said. "I'm just glad that at least one of us is happy""Oh relax" Delia said. "It's just a normal thing all families go through. And I'm sure it will be fine. I know how much you and Jensen love each other"
She cuddled deeper into his embrace. She hadn’t lied about the cuddling part. She had missed him so much. And she was just so glad to be in the arms of the man she loved.She loved this man. She loved her husband. And she wanted him to come home. She shook her head when she realized that he was talking and she hadn't been listening.“We have options,” Jensen said.She blinked and focused her attention back on the here and now and the fact she was in bed after hot, sweaty sex with the man she loved.It was all she could do not to groan.“What options?” she asked huskily.“I can feed you. I can make mad, passionate love to you again. Or we can take a short nap and then do either option one or two. Or both. See? I’m easy.” he said.She smiled and squeezed him. She did love him. It scared her to death just how much she loved him, and she was flooded by so much em
“Ride me,” he said in a strained voice. His pupils dilated and his brow constricted. Tight lines were etched into his forehead, and his hands gripped her hips so tightly that she could do nothing more than squeeze her inner muscles around his erection.“Sweat heaven,” he groaned.She wasn’t going to last, and she was helpless to do anything about it. She needed to move. She had to move.Placing her palms flat on his chest, she wiggled free of his grasp and began to move up and down, taking him, releasing him, then taking him again. Sweat beaded his brow. His eyes were narrow slits, and he never took his gaze from hers. He urged her closer so he could cup her breasts. They filled both palms and he rubbed the pad of his thumb over the painfully erect nubs.“I can’t hold on,” she whispered.“Then let’s go together,” h
His breath blew hot over her chin and then her jaw. He kissed a line to her ear then sucked the lobe between his teeth. Shivers overtook her. Delicate little goose bumps dotted her flesh until she trembled uncontrollably.He stepped back, his hands falling to the waistband of her pants. His fingers hung in the snap and he stood there staring at her heaving chest.“You’re so beautiful.” he said. "I have missed you so much"He raised one finger to hook in the strap of her bra. He ran it up then down, and he grazed the tip over the swell of her breast.“I love the lingerie.” he said.She leaned back on the dresser, resting her palms on the top to give him a better glimpse of her cleavage.“You’re absolutely merciless, aren’t you?” he murmured.She smiled and arched invitingly until the bare
“Get it together, Katherine” she muttered.Lord, but she did lose all her brain cells when it came to Jensen.She laughed outright and it had the effect of someone popping her thought bubble with a sharp pin. The driver looked up in the rearview mirror, and she valiantly tried to look back with a straight face. If he only knew the absurd thoughts she was processing.If she was truly the naughty girl of her fantasies, she would have ridden over with only a trench coat covering her sexy lingerie. Then when she walked into Jensen's room, she could discard the coat and watch his reaction.The idea certainly had merit, and if she ever received another invitation such as tonight from him again, she’d give it serious consideration. Just to tease him. But for now, she would concentrate on the moment.A few minutes later, the driver pulled up to the sumptuous hotel Jensen had been staying in since he moved
"All they needed was some convincing. I'm finalizing the documents for the dissolution of the partnership. I know you might find it hard to forgive me, but I don't want us to grow apart over this. No one is worth it. So please tell me that you want me back home too, Kat. And maybe this is a little too fast, but I don't care, I wanna be with you tonight. It's been so long. Let me hold you tonight."Katherine sighed. Oh, the man really knew how to get to her, with his words, his touch, his kisses. Everything. “Jensen,” she began again, and promptly shut up when it came out more as a plaintive wail than a protest.“I’ll send a car for you, Katherine." he said." You are my wife. But I want this to be special, kinda like a first date like you said. I’ll have my driver pick you up from work, or if you prefer, you can drive your car to the house and I’ll have him pick you up there. Tim can take care of the house for one night and Deanie can stay at your mo
He looked at her almost like the last was a challenge. She tilted her chin up and stared coolly at him. She hoped that she looked as unruffled as she wanted to portray.“Why did you come to my office today, Jensen?” she asked.His mouth tightened briefly before he relaxed and eyed her with thinly veiled amusement. “We are married, Kat " he said."I can't take my wife to lunch?”She curled her fingers into tight fists.“Jensen.” she said. She stopped when her voice cracked. She felt like the worst sort of idiot. Right now, she felt ridiculously tongue tied.“Yes?” he prompted. He wore a curious smile, almost as if he found her and the situation amusing. It made her angry.“Look Jensen, I'm not going to act like I didn't miss you. I did. But I don't know what you are up to, and if you think that —.”
Behind the desk, a cheerful looking younger woman smiled a warm welcome as he approached.“Good morning, Mr Packard" she said. "And welcome. I assume you are here to see Mrs Packard.”He returned her smile. “Is she in?” he asked.“Yes. But she is not here right now. If you will wait in her office, I’ll get her at once. Would you care for some coffee?” she asked.“No, thank you.” he said, he wasn't sure he could keep anything down right now.She turned to stride down the hallway, leaving Jensen standing there. He walked into Katherine's office and went to the window to look down on the street instead of sitting.A few moments later, he heard the tap tap of heels and turned to see Katherine walk into the office, a confused, wary look in her eyes.“Jensen,” she greeted. “I wasn’t expecting to see you. I thought you were going to San Francisco. T
"Oh" Jensen said. "I gotta say that I'm really glad you told me about this. It's kinda hard to believe how fast you have grown. I mean, there was a time when all you cared about was video games, but now here you are, having girl problems"Tim grinned. "Don't tease me dad" he said."I'm not. I'm not" Jensen said, raising his hands. "And I gotta say that In my time, I was never turned down by a girl. Not bragging"Tim rolled his eyes and smiled. "Show off" he said, and Jensen laughed."But," Jensen continued, "With your mom, I hesitated. I was stupid. Didn't know what I had. I was enjoying all the attention I was getting that I forgot to go after the one thing that mattered, and I almost lost her. So I say, suck it up kid. To hell with that fear. Just ask her to go to the dance with you, what's the worse thing that could happen? ""Ermmm, she could turn me down" Tim replied
"Yeah right" Tim said sarcastically. "I know how stuff like this happens. I watch a lot movies and I know how stuff like this goes. This is how it starts and before you know it, they are giving you a speech about how it isn't your fault and that sometimes things just doesn't work out. I just don't want to have that talk with my parents. I know how much they love each other"Chloe nodded. "Okay" she said. "I can't say that I understand because I don't. My parents aren't... Divorced. But I'm certain that whatever it is, it's not your fault. And honestly, there is nothing you can do about but hope that they find a way to fix their problems. And sometimes, they might just be going through a tough time. Doesn't mean they are gonna get a divorce, so you might just be worried for nothing. Come on" she nudged his shoulder. "You can't be worrying about this when nothing permanent has happened. Remember you have a game next week. One of you have been training for a long time
