(Begins from Finn being taken to hospital)

Becky's P-O-V

'Doctor, tell me he's gonna be okay?' I pleaded through my tears as Finn was stretchered to the minor surgery room. He was moaning in pain as blood oozed out of various parts of his body.

'Yes. Please calm down.' the doctor said passing by me.

'Relax, he's gonna be fine.' an attendant beside him said walking inside.

'Please doctor please..' I begged once more as the door closed in front of my eyes.

My heart was clutched from inside as I remembered my cousin being exposed to such atrocious fate only because of me. It's all because of me.

I sobbed taking a seat at the waiting room. Finn and I had been one of those cousins who could read each other's minds through their eyes. We were all glued to each other since our childhood. When he heard about my attempt to kill myself, he rushed to take the next flight to Florida. I can't explain how he took care of me and brought me out of depression. He would sing silly songs we sang in our childhood or bring up some old school Irish dramas that I performed in my school days. He almost brought back the sweet and cheerful Becky I left in Ireland. But, is it this that he deserved in return?

But why? Dean barely knows him! Why did he do that? Does seeing me peaceful and happy itches his ego that much?

He's crazy. I hate you Dean. More tears spilled from my eyes in anger and frustration.

'Becky!..' I heard a familiar voice.

Dean's P-O-V

I drove the whole way without a word. I knew Roman had so many questions to ask but perhaps, he understood my mental stature too well.

I reached his place and stopped the car.

'So, bye.' Roman said unbuckling the seat belt.

'I.. I'm sorry.' I couldn't help saying. Roman gave me a surprised look but my inner self was fine with that.

'Today I let us all down by my behavior.' I said looking down with a sigh.

Roman looked at me for a second and smiled.

'It's okay man.' he said patting my shoulders. 'I kind of figured it all out and I've no bugs for you.' he said.

I smiled and we bro-hugged. 'Thanks a lot for your support man.' I said.

Roman chuckled.

'Yeah but you got to be a little careful now. She's really pissed.' he said with a smirk.

I tried to suppress it but let out the smile that formed on my lips.

'I know.' I said scratching the back of my neck.

*******

I know I'm a bad guy. I really am. Becky was so hurt but who knew the guy was her cousin. They way she sat beside him leaning her head on his shoulders, I thought...ugh! I need control my insecurities over her.

Who knows what she's doing alone in that hospital?

My car parked near the hospital and I rushed inside.

'Yes Sir?' the receptionist asked me.

'Ahhh.. Finn..ehm..Balor. Trauma patient.' I asked somehow remembering his name.

'Yes Sir. He's at the minor surgical ward. But, how are you related to the patient?' she asked trying type some information on her desktop.

Technically, I'm the guy that sent him here but..

'I'm Dean Ambrose and..' she cute off.

'Wait! You're Dean Ambrose from the Shield!' the girl exclaimed with widened eyes.

'Well, unfortunately yes.' I said nonchalantly.

'.. and as for Mr. Balor, his cousin is my...ehm... employee.' I said after thinking a lot.

The girl smiled. 'Okay then Sir. Take the elevator to the sixth floor. We have the VIP waiting hall over there. I'll tell them about you.' she said with a smile.

'Thanks.' I said her with a smile.

I wish I could fly to the sixth floor already. Is the elevator really that slow or it's just me? My impatience to see Becky and be with her was taking over me.

Finally, the door of the elevator opened and I walked to the sixth floor. It was one hour to midnight. So the surgery rooms and the waiting space barely had population. I took the right and that's when I saw her sitting on a chair and crying her hear out.

My heart sank as I saw her tears. I walked to her.

'Becky!..' I called.

*******

Becky's P-O-V

I lifted my eyes to see the person I most hated to see at this moment. My teeth gritted.

'What are you doing here?' I asked sharply.

Dean raised his hands up in surrender as I gave him that angry look. 'Becky, listen I..' he tried to say but I cut him off. I stood up facing him.

'If it's Mr. Reigns who sent you here to apologize fearing the legal allegations, tell him I'll stand on my words.' I said gritting my teeth.

'But, please, leave us alone now Dean.' I almost shouted.

Dean looked around to see if anyone saw me shouting and then frowned his eyes looking at me.

'Becky, you really think, I'd some here if Roman or anyone else asked me to do it against my will? Or you forgot that I'm the guy who ran a motor bike over a guy in a crowded night without fearing the consequences? ' he said. 'I thought you knew me better!' he said trailing off with a sarcastic chuckle.

I rolled my eyes. 'Whatever Dean! You've done enough to my life. So, if you're here by your will thinking of bickering me more, than I'm sick and tired of it and right now, I'd just urge you to leave me by my own.' I said in an emotional yet angry tone and tried to walk away.

I tried to walk but I knew he was following because I heard footsteps just behind me.

'Becky, wait..don't be so insensible! I know you hate me and I deserve that too but..' he held my wrist stopping me.

I looked at him annoyed but Dean had a guilty and remorseful look in his face.

'Becky, you have every right to be annoyed but please don't tell me to leave you alone in this hospital at your bad time.' he pleaded.

I yanked by hand of his hold. Who does he think he is? He hurt me more times than anyone ever did and tonight, he crossed the line when he hurt an innocent Finn! There's no way I could ever forgive him.

'Well, in that case you're mistaken if you think I'm gonna allow you to stay by me.' I said.

Dean's face fell for some time and then suddenly..he smirked.

'And who the hell told you my stay would depend on your allowance?' he said smirking and crossing his arms on his chest like the cocky jerk he is.

My teeth gritted.

'You better..' I tried to say something but..

'Family of Finn Balor..' a call came.

Dean and I looked at each other and I rushed towards the attendant.

'Yes. I'm Rebecca Lynch, Finn's cousin. What happened to him?' I asked as various negative probabilities knocked my heart.

'Yes, what happened to the patient?' Dean asked trailing behind me. To be honest, I hated this attitude of him trying to apply lotion over the wound he caused himself.

The doctor stood beside and attendant and looked at both of us.

'Well, Mr. Balor needed few stitches on his forehead around his eyebrow and the lip region. The reports say he has a minor cramp on his shoulder but nothing to worry about. We've done what was needed and right now, we've given him the sleeping injections and the painkillers. We've kept him in the ICU for observation. He's sleeping and I hope will be up in three hours.' the doctor said with a smile.

A subtle joy brought tears in my eyes.

'Anything to worry about doctor?' I asked.

'Oh no, Miss Lynch. He'll be fine. Just wait around for few hours. He'd fine to go home tomorrow if things remain the same.' he assured.

A sigh of relief and a smile creeped up on my lips. Finn's gonna be okay by tomorrow.

'Thank you doctor.' Dean said.

The doctor smiled with a nod and walked away.

I wiped my tears feeling relieved of a huge guilt towards my cousin.

'Hey!' I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulders and of course, I knew the touch very well.

I sighed and looked at a smiling Dean.

'See, Finn's gonna be okay. Stop worrying Becky.' Dean said.

I chuckled sarcastically.

'Your saying this! You made every possible thing sure to get him into the mortuary.' I said shaking my head and walking away from him.

I heard Dean sigh and of course, his steps followed me.

'I think we should sit at the waiting hall now.' he said.

We should!!

'I guess you heard them Dean. Finn is doing fine. You don't have to be worried about the murder charges. You can leave now.' I said walking to a chair and taking a seat.

'Well, I guess that's upto me Becky.' Dean said walking to me. 'And, hey! I've got the VIP waiting room for us. You don't have to wait in here!' he said standing near my chair.

'The VIP room's on your name Dean. I don't have any interest in them. Thank you.' I said taking out my phone to inform my family in Dublin about the accident.

'Fine then.' I heard Dean mutter and he took the chair beside me.

Seriously!!

I dialed my brother's number and told him about Finn's condition and also that he was stable now.

I felt Dean sparing glances at me a number of times but I decided to ignore him. There is a limit of my tolerance and this time, this crazy guy crossed everything.

We spent ten more minutes in silence. I saw Dean leaning in front and on his  palms and trying to suppress the yawns. He must be feeling sleepy!

I still don't know why is he here and why he did what he did and what does he want right now.

Suddenly, Dean turned his face to look at me as I was already looking at him. Our eyes locked and I hated the feeling of being caught. I looked away immediately. Shit! Why was I even looking?

'Wanna say something?' Dean asked looking at me.

I shook my head. He just smirked for no good reason.

Weirdo!

'ehm..you can go take rest at the VIP waiting room if you want.' I said out of utmost humanity.

Dean looked at me raising an eyebrow as he sat straight.

'Nay. Not with you sitting here.' he said.

Every time he tries to show such pity, my blood boils..and I get angry on my stupid self for attaining silly assumptions.

'Great then.' I said more to myself. 'I only hope your girlfriend doesn't shout on me for holding you in the general waiting hall for the whole night.' I said sharply churning a lot of sadness, pain and anger inside me.

Of course, Renee would never approve that!

Dean looked at me furrowing his brows as if he was surprised or confused.

'Yeah, I know you always kept your phone in silent mode and perhaps, that's why you couldn't hear Renee's squeals yet.' I stated rolling my eyes.

Dean was silent for a while and then I heard a faint chuckle.

'You're right Becky. My girlfriend shouts a lot on me some times.' he said chuckling. 'But, trust me Becky, I love every word of it.' he said.

Ugh! That was the last nail on my coffin. The guy I love discussing his equations with his girlfriend with me.

My teeth gritted but I kept mum. I can't let him play with my emotions any more.

I leaned back on my chair and soon my eyes went heavy.

'Becky!' 'Becky' 'Hey! You're sleeping!' I heard a voice and a nudge on my shoulder.

Wtf!

My eyes opened abruptly letting me uo to see Dean leaning over.

'What the....! You scared me!' I said slightly irritated.

Dean chuckled.

'Sorry...but, you still look cute when you sleep though.' he said wite a smile.

By the feel of heat around my face and the smirk in Dean's face I knew I was blushing and I was caught too.

Crap! This guy tried to kill my cousin. He can't affect me by any kind now. I hate him. I am supposed to hate him after all those abuses and heart breaks. My heart trailed with a painful emotion as I thought.

A snap of fingers in front of my eyes brought me back to earth.

'If you're done thinking, I think we should seriously shift ourselves to the VIP waiting room now.' he said.

'..and of course, it's not just me who doesn't want to be caught snoring in the public.' he said and even though I wanted to suppress, I ended up chuckling.

Dean chuckled too.

'Let's go then.' he said getting up.

I sighed remembering no other option right now and sleeping in here was too vulnerable for me.

*******

The VIP waiting room was really good for a short nap but of course, I would never want to fall asleep with my cousin struggling in the ICU.

I plopped on the big cozy sofa.

'Can I get get you two something?' a female attendant asked me and Dean.

'Yeah..two cappuccinos and snacks.' Dean who was texting someone sitting at the other end of my sofa, ordered for both of us getting me surprised.

Who the hell asked him to do that now?

I frowned my eyes at him in disbelief.

'Ahhh..that'll do.' Dean said. The attendant nodded with a smile and left us.

'I hope you're ready to gulp both the mugs.' I said Dean sarcastically. '.. because I'm not taking any.' I announced.

Dean frowned his eyes.

'Don't act like a child now. It's midnight and I assume you couldn't have your dinner too.' he said.

I gave him an irritated look.

'You sure don't expect me to enjoy my food with my cousin laying in the IC, do you?' I asked annoyed.

Dean shook his head.

'Okay, if you skipping a cup of coffee would get your cousin a speedy recovery, I'm just canceling the order...' he said trying to stand up.

He's crazy but he's right. Moreover, a cup of coffee might help get my slumber away. Ugh! Why do I always succumb to him?

'Wait! Don't cancel it but.... I'll pay for myself, I tell you.' I announced determined.

Dean sat back on the sofa and gave me a frowned look.

'Pay for yourself, huh?' he said raising his eyebrow.

'Yeah. I don't want to be indebted to you anymore for anything.' I said not looking away and trailing with a hesitating tone. I don't know why I felt it would hurt him even though there was no reason to.

Dean gave me a blank look. 'Indebted, who? You?' he said sighing with a dry chuckle. I didn't respond.

'Well..then..I must say you've no idea about debts and pay offs.' he said eyeing me intently, a frustrated smile still at one side of his face.

I gave him a look of confusion.

'Excuse me!' I said.

'Nothing. Just think, I'm paying off some debts I have to you.' he said nonchalantly.

I frowned my eyes being more confused but it was Dean who looked away now. I didn't push it and looked away from him. Why would he be indebted to me?

The coffees and snacks came. Dean was busy texting someone from his phone. Is it Renee?

I shook my head trying to shrug off the thoughts and started stirring the sugar for both the cups. Of course, I know how Dean likes his coffee.

I remember the first time I made it for him in the office. I was so nervous. But, when Dean sipped in, his expressions said it all. Heavenly was the term he used and kissed me immediately after he finished the cup. I kept on stirring the coffee as the memories flashed.

'Thank you.' Dean's voice brought me back to earth. He took the mug I was stirring, our fingers brushed in the process, sending chills down my spine.

Shit! Why does that always happen to me?

I withdrew my hand as Dean sipped into his coffee keeping an eye on me.

I took my cup and sipped into it. I couldn't look at him. Those blue orbs were my biggest weakness even though the fire within them could burn me to ashes and the same fire sent my cousin to hospital tonight.

'Why did you attack Finn?' I couldn't hold the question any longer in my heart.

Dean looked up from his cup towards me. I must say, he wasn't ready to face it but it was killing me. Dean's eyes looked down.

'Finn's going to be fine and I promise never to do that again. I guess, that's all that matters now.' Dean said nonchalantly not matching my eyes.

'No Dean. That isn't all that matters. Finn is my cousin who came from Ireland just a few days ago. You barely know him. There must be a reason why you went that crazy on him.' I said restlessly.

Dean sighed looking down and placed his mug on the table in front of us.

'I.. I didn't know he was your cousin.' he said in a low voice.

I frowned my eyes. That was his reason! But, he must know this. He already visited my place few two days ago.

'Didn't you see him at my place few days ago?' I asked a little annoyed.

'That's where the problem started Becky. I wanted to rip his head the same day.' Dean said stirring his cappuccino.

What? Is this guy crazy?

'But, what did the poor guy do to you?' I asked impatiently.

Dean didn't respond and sipped on his coffee.

I waited for his reply for a while but he continued having his coffee. I looked away frustrated. I can't believe he did this to Finn for no reason.

I finished my coffee with snacks and placed the mug on the table. I turned my head to Dean to see ge was already staring at me. Our eyes locked and Dean's face went more serious than ever.

'I was jealous Becky, really jealous.' he said barely above a whisper making my heart thump.

Jealous!! Of Finn!!! Why?

'But, Dean, why would someone like you..' I couldn't finish as Dean shifted really closer to me. His hands reached for mine as he looked deep into my eyes.

'I'm sorry Becky. I really am.' he said. 'I hurt you so much and you never deserved that.' he said. I could say his eyes gathered some tears which he was reluctant to shed. A guiltful repentance reflecting from his eyes.

I didn't know why tears brimmed in my eyes too.

'It's okay Dean. But, why were you jealous of Finn? He doesn't have half the possessions of you.' I said and a drop of tears escaped my eyes.

Dean shook his head. 'May be I'm the dumbest dumb person at the face of this earth and I don't have the tongue to explain you about that.' he said chuckling softly.

That yielded nothing but all I knew was Dean was repenting over his actions. I gave him a look of confusion.

'You know when I went to your house with Alexa the other day and I saw a shirtless guy opening the door, it boiled my blood right away. I couldn't think properly Becky. The way you two hugged each other in that sofa in front of my eyes made me to twist and break the whole planet.' he said almost gritting his teeth.

'..and all I could imagine was you two fondling each other's hands, kissing each other, fucking by screaming each other's names and then when I saw you our there at the bar with him.. I.. I just couldn't... .' he said restlessly.

I froze. Shock and disgust filled me. I just couldn't believe Dean could think that low of me and my cousin!

I pulled my hand off Dean's grasp.

'Dean! How could you even..?' my tongue filled with disgust.

I felt Dean's gaze get lower.

'Becky, I know it sounds odd but yeah, I misunderstood.' he said. 'I get frustrated every time I see you leaning near another man. I.. I just can't imagine you getting to another men's bed.' he said. Bed! Sex! Body! And that's when I thought I heard enough.

'And is this because you still believe you have your absolute right over my body?' I blurted angrily. 'Then listen Mr. Ambrose, it was you who released me from that meaningless thing we had for two years.' I said.

Dean looked at me surprised.

'Meaningless thing?' he asked widening his eyes.

My jaw clenched.

'Yes, the meaniness bodily pleasure you obtained from me and my bad..I obtained from you. And trust me Dean..' I looked into his blue orbs.. 'right now, I regret every single moment of it.' I said gritting my teeth.

I know that didn't go well with me and I did expect an outburst..even a physical one may be..but,to my disbelief he was as still as a rock, not even a blink. It seemed like he was taken aback. But, I was really glad that I could finally give him a piece of it.

Dean shifted slightly away from me and looked down at his hands. Silence filled the room for ten minutes exact when the door flung open and an attendant walked in to take away the food tray.

The attendant gave us a smile and walked away.

I looked at Dean who was doing something in his phone. Could be Renee but how could he claim his possession over my body while being committed to her?

I shook my head and got up. I wanted to leave this VIP room and check on Finn's situation.

I walked to the door, opened it and left. To my surprise, Dean didn't ask me a thing.

********

The attendants told me Finn was fine and shifted to the general ward. I was asked to do some more hospital formalities and pay for the medicines. I completed those and just as I was about to return to the regular waiting hall, I saw Dean pacing around restlessly.

'Where have you been?' he asked be frowning his eyes. 'I've called you like 8 times and when I came here your bag laid at this chair with your phone ringing inside.' he said somewhat in a demanding voice.

He stopped and his expressions relaxed as he saw me.

Does he think he's my boss here too?

'Relax, I was at the reception doing some additional formalities.' I said in an annoyed voice.

'And you never thought it was important to tell me about it..!' he said sharply in an anger laced voice.

What the heck?

'You know how worried I was?' he said stepping closer and grabbing hold of my shoulders.

My eyes frowned. His voice was too high for a hospital and people were looking at us now.

'Leave me Dean.' I said shrugging off his hands. I was only here to check on cousin for whom I was here and I don't think I needed to inform anyone else about that.' I spat. 'I'm a grown up woman to be worried about.' I said backing a step. 'Besides, I thought my body was all you cared about me.' I said trailing off with a chuckle.

Dean's eyes frowned in surprise but then he shook his head.

'Whatever you say bitch.' he said gritting his teeth and sitting on a chair.

'Who did you call a bitch?' I spat angrily getting near him. He didn't respond and continued typing his phone.

'Dean..I'm talking to you. How dare you call me a bitch? This isn't your office Mr. Ambrose. Fucking answer me.' I spat with full rage. I was breathing fast.

This guy was getting on my nerves now.

Dean sighed and looked up at me.

'If you're done talking, you can sit in here.' he said pointing to the seat beside him.

Jerk!

My teeth gritted and I turned away from him to sit at a chair two seats away from his.

I took out my phone to see indeed 8 missed calls from Dean and 3 messages.

Dean: Where are you?

Dean: Come fast. I need to tell you something.

Dean: God Becky! where are you? You're scaring me.

I looked at him. Was he really that worried about me? Before I could look away, Dean saw me looking. Ugh!

'ehm.. What did you want to tell me?' I asked trying to get over the awkwardness.

Dean looked at me blank and smiled.

'Not the right time.' he said leaning his head on his chair.

I looked at him confused. As if he ever cared about the rightness of time, place and man!

'Weird!' I muttered looking away but heard Dean chuckling dryly.

'You.. You must inform your girlfriend about your stay in here. What if she doesn't approve your stay?' I asked breaking the silence.

Dean scoffed. 'She doesn't but that doesn't matter to me. I know I'm needed here.' he said smirking at me.

I rolled my eyes. 'That's what you think.' I said. 'I'm a fucking independent woman and I can very well take care of my cousin and I am not going to need millionere's assistance for that. I just.. ' I started saying but Dean cut me off.

'Becky.. Becky.. Becky..look.. Oii know you're a fookin independent woman un you kaan take care'f ya cuzin..' he quoted..

Did he just..?.. . No way?

'..but, I'll just do what I feel and that's I can't leave you alone in here.' he said.

My heart slightly flipped as he said so irrespective of his horrible mimicry of my Irish accent.

I shook my head trying to shrug away the thought. But, why can't he leave me alone? And, why was he scared when I went away without informing him? Does he not know that I'm not letting my foot into his trap again? In other words, I'm not going to have sex with him again..not behind his girlfriend's back.

'Did you mean what you said earlier?' Dean asked suddenly.

I gave him a confused look not understanding what he meant.

'When you said you regretted every single moment we had between us?' he asked in a calm yet hurt voice.

No. Those were the best moments of my life. But, I wish they never happened. At least, I wouldn't have built my dreams of vague hopes and got hurt at the end.

'I.. I don't want to talk about it Dean.' I said. 'And I don't think you should try and talk about it either.' I said looking into his eyes.

Our eyes locked and I saw his face fell.

He blinked and smiled, though I felt it was quite forceful.

'You know Becky, I don't regret anything that happened between us in these two years and I wish and I hope I could continue it for more two hundred years.' Dean said sending a wave current all over my body.

I didn't expect him to say something like this! My heart was pounding fast.

He just said he wanted more of me!

I looked away from his piercing blue eyes weakening my legs. But..

'Stop Dean! How could you even say something like that to one of your employees especially when you're in a relationship?' I said annoyed just as I remembered an important fact.

'You can't just expect me to ponder at your service and being your slut while you enjoy a romantic life with your girlfriend.' I said getting emotionally frustrated and turning away from him. 'That's.. That's selfish..' I muttered with emotion laced in my voice.

'And I'm sure your girlfriend doesn't know about your dirty deeds and it obviously, won't go well with her.' I said.

I heard him chuckle.

'That's the problem Becky. She doesn't know anything.' Dean said almost to himself.

Bloody perverted cheating jerk!

*****

Bell presses, telephones and chaos rang around me. Crap! Can't I even get some good sleep?

'Patient number 567.' I heard an announcement.

Patient! How come? Shit! I'm in a hospital!

I jumped up from the chair I was on sleeping my ass off. It was morning and the attendants were giving me small smiles.

Fuck! Did I sleep till the morning?

What are they gonna think now? I looked at the chairs beside me. They were empty.

Dean!?

Did he leave? Why would he stay? He doesn't need to stay here. I shook my head and walked to the ladies washroom to get rid of some slumber traces.

I guess Finn must be up. I asked the attendants about him. He was no more in a general cabin but was shifted to a VIP cabin as per the request.

Wait! I didn't ask for that and I don't think Finn would either. The morning shifts didn't know much about who requested it. Panic struck me. I knew the expenses if such rooms in such a hospital. Even though I was hungry as hell I decided to skip the breakfast and go have a look at my cousin in his cabin.

I matched the room card and pushed the door open and..

...got the biggest shock of my life as I saw Dean handing over some breakfast to Finn in his bed. The two seemed to laugh and talk with each other too.

OMG! Somebody catch me before I fall.

'Yeah.. I told you you'll like it.' Dean said smiling as Finn nodded biting a burger.

I entered the room and cleared my throat making my presence felt.

'Becky! When did you come?' Finn said throwing me a smile. I smiled too.

'Good Morning sleepy head!' Dean greeted me with a smirk.

I blushed slightly. He must've seen me in deep slumber at the morning and decided to go to Finn all by himself. And, now, Finn knows that too. All thanks to Dean's compliment.

'I came right now.' I said sitting on the chair beside Finn's bed. 'And you could have called me Mr. Ambrose!' I said sparing Dean a glance.

Dean smirked. 'Well, I could have but I guess you were having a nice dream and I didn't want to ruin it.' he said with a smirk.

I shook my head trying to shrug off his crazy logics. Finn was looking awkwardly between me and Dean.

'So, you already had your breakfast?' I asked Finn who pointed to his plate. 'And how're you feeling now? You know I longed to see you the whole night but the hospital authorities didn't allow. Damn! Those bruises look horrible Finn but is there the pain? I mean, the doctor said you had few crumps in your shoulder and..' I touched Finn's shoulder.

'Ouch! Stop Becks! You're trying to kill me this way!' Finn winced.

'Sorry, I was just a little worried.' I said sheepishly looking at my cousin.

'God! I'm fine now Becky. But, who speaks that fast?' Finn asked surprised.

I giggled. 'Just my thing.' I said punching my cousin's arm softly but he yelped but I soon realized that was the uninjured hand and he was faking it. So, I slapped it harder.

'You're crazy?' Finn said. I laughed out loud.

Finn looked at me weirdly and then I saw his eyes move to Dean who was smiling at us.

'Is she the same crazy lass at the office too?' Finn asked Dean. Ugh! Why?

'Oh no! She's crazier I tell you.' Dean shifted his gaze to me. 'But, I don't mind. Only a crazy lass can take care of the needs of a crazy guy.' Dean said throwing a wink.

I looked at Dean wide eyed. He did not just say that!

'..aahhh.. I mean the whole Shield is full of crazy people and crazy clients and we need equally crazier employees to deal with that.' he said looking at Finn now.

Oh God! I hope didn't get the innuendo.

'The Shield is full of crazier people!' Finn repeated and chuckled.

'That's so true. Me, Seth, Roman everyone's crazy as hell and we recruit on the same basis.' Dean said.

'Oh man! Seriously! Your boss has got an amazing sense of humor.' Finn laughed complimenting the guy who tried to kill him not many hours ago.

'Well yeah.' I said hesitating.

Dean chuckled too and walked near Finn and of course, near me too.

'Anyway, man. I apologize again for my actions last night. I hope you'll consider what I said to you earlier.' he said throwing Finn a wink.

Finn lucked his lips and looked at me. 'Let's see.' he said looking back at Finn with a smile.

Now, what was that? And how could Dean convince my cousin so easily? Charmer! Master manipulator!

'Well, Becky.. I must leave now. Finn seems fine and I guess I should attend the office. It's fine if you skip it today. You just take care of Finn...and...ehm.. yourself.' Dean said tapping my arm softly, sending a shrill within my body.

Shit! Why did he have to touch me?

'Yeah..' I said softly.

Dean smiled. 'Good bye and bye Finn.' he said waving.

'Yeah. Bye Dean.' Finn waved back.

Wait! Did he just call Dean by his first name? When did they become that close?

I looked at Finn with a questioning look as Dean left and he just shrugged his shoulders.

*******

Finn is recovered and released. But, my conscience wasn't allowing me to take more leaves from my office. But, that wasn't allowing me to leave Finn alone at home either. Since, I called up Alexa and Sami to take care of Finn for the day.

'So, you're joining from today?' Finn asked as I arranged his pills and fruits on the table as per the doctor's advice.

'Yes. I don't think I should take advantage of the kindness of my bosses anymore.' I said. 'But, don't worry! I'll get you some babysitters.' I said teasing.

Finn rolled his eyes. 'Becks, I told you I can do alone. I'm not a kid.' he said.

I chuckled and pinched his cheeks.

'Yes, you are a kid Finnie.' I said.

*******

'Awee! I missed you Becks! I'm so glad you're back.' Bayley hugged me for the 105th time today.

I giggled at her approach and we took our respective chairs at the office cafeteria.

Summer waved at us and walked towards us. Bayley informed me earlier that Summer had been tagging along with her and Alexa these days.

Strange!

Well, to be honest, I never had any problem with the girl. So why not?

'Hey Becky! You're doing good?' Summer asked me.

'Yeah. I'm good. It's just my cousin.' I said with a sigh. Summer nodded in understanding.

'I guess we shouldn't waste more time and order our food. Mr. Reigns won't tolerate a second of me being late.' Bayley said sheepishly.

Poor girl! I thought she could get some relief after the Assistant split thing but she's still too hectic. Anyway, I wonder who Dean's Assistant is! I bet with the kind of a playboy he is, he would chose the hottest of the lot and make sure he makes most use of her.

A part of me felt a little sad just by the thought.

'Hey girls!' I heard a strange unfamiliar voice. And then there was a weirdly looking guy who I suppose, is the onion chopper in this canteen.

'Ugh! Not you again!' Summer said feeling a little disgusted.

'Hey James! What are you doing here?' Bayley asked.

The guy named Jane's smiled and walked bear us.

'Well, Sami's absent. So, I thought may be, I should catch up with you all.' the guy said with a shy smile.

Ugh! Who is this anyway?

'Okay then. Cone join us.' Bayley said.

The guy smiled and took the chair next to Summer. He gave her a smile but Summer being Summer, rolled her eyes.

'So, you want noodles? It's my favorite and I want you'll to taste my special menu. The treat is on me.' James said out if nowhere.

'No thanks. I'm on diet.' Summer said sharply.

'Thanks you Jamea but.. Noodles would be too big for me too. I think I'll get something light so that I can finish it fast.' Bayley said. 'But what about you Becky?' Bayley asked.

Gosh! I barely know this guy except the fact that his name is James. He's an onion chopper with a special menu.

'Well..' I couldn't finish as I caught James' eyes widen as he looked at me.

'Wait! You must be Rebecca Lynch!' he said with a smile. 'The lady who was on leave for a week due to her private issues!' he said like he finally discovered the theory behind the Bermuda Triangle.

'No shit Sherlock! She is Rebecca Lynch.' Summer said.

'Wow! You can't believe how crazy Mr. Ambrose went when he learned you were absent for so long. He sent me to the ER section after every four hours for your updates. In fact, I..' je was blurting more but the blush on my face said he talked too much already.

'Well, okay then. Good to see you James..' I said trying to turn the attention elsewhere even though Summer and Bayley were already giving him weird and curious looks.

Ugh! That's creep! And why did Dean choose this onion chopper to get him the news?

But, the bigger question is why would he even care if I'm absent..let alone being crazy.

'I'm James Ellsworth. And I'm Mr. Ambrose' new Assistant.' James said almost choking my thoughts.

'You're his assistant!?' I asked frowning my eyes as James shook my hand.

Omg! Why on earth Dean went for a guy? And I know even if he were gay, he would never go for this guy.

'Yeah, pretty much.' James said blushing and playing with his tie.

Omg! Look at him.

'I know exactly how you're feeling Becky.' Summer said chuckling. 'We were shocked too when Dean said he's had enough with girls and now, he wants a guy assistant now.' she said.

Oh man! Why'd Dean do that? Even if he was gay, I really doubt if he would ever get interested in someone like this guy. Eww! But, why did he not chose to get a girl? That would get him everything he wants!

Is he that loyal to Renee? Wow!

'Owh well!' I said nonchalantly.

*********

I walked fast towards Mr. Rollins' room. I hope he didn't leave yet. I had a number of files in my hand and just as I tried to take a turn, I bumped into the person I least expected or wanted to see. Randy!

'Sorry..' I said not looking and him and tried to walk past him. But, soon I had to as he decided to call me.

'Becky!' Randy called.

I had no intention to talk with Randy at this time or anytime in life. I really trusted him as a friend and he seemed to be really caring towards me when I really needed one. I couldn't believe it when Dean revealed his hand in spiking my drink at the Blogger's park. How can a man fall that low?

I saw Randy walk beside me.

'Hey! How're you doing?' he asked.

'Much better after I got rid of some fake ass people in my life.' I said eyeing him. I could say Randy's face fell.

'Becky..I know you're mad at me and trust me you've every right too. What I did was...really bad.' he said with a sigh.

I chuckled shaking my head.

'You're right Randy. I have every right to be mad at you. In fact, I can never forgive you for those detrimental intentions of yours. But, all I need to know is...why Randy?' I asked as emotions laced my voice. 'As far as I remember, I never did anything wrong to you. Why then? Why did you have to be fallen?' I asked being disgusted.

Randy looked down and then at me. Guilt reflected in his blue eyes.

'Alas! I can't answer you now Becky but all I could say is ...I never hated you and you were never my target. I only got involved with you because you crossed the way. I'm really sorry for that Becky.' he said.

My eyes frowned in confusion.

'Target! What are you talking about, Randy?' I asked curiously.

Randy shook his head. 'I have one and everyone will know soon.' he said and walked away.

What was he talking about? What is his target? How did I crossed his way? Was my friendship with him or him taking me out just a part of it? A strange fear lurked inside me fearing some unknown consequences.

I tried to shrug off the thoughts and made my way to Mr. Rollins' cabin. I knocked the door and was permitted to get inside. I pushed the door open but to see Mr. Rollins discussing something with Dean.

Ugh Becky! What a timing?

'Hey Becky! How're you doing?' Mr. Rollins asked and smiled as he saw me. Dean looked around and then, I saw his eyes travel to me. Damn! those eyes...what am I thinking?

'I'm fine now Mr. Rollins. Thanks for asking.' I said returning the smile. My eyes fell on Dean again and he was looking looking below my face towards my...perv!

'What are those?' Mr. Rollins said pointing to the files.

'Oh yes, I got them from Alexa's room. She isn't here. So, I thought I should get those to you myself.' I said.

'Alexa isn't here!?' Mr. Rollins said sort of surprised.

'ehm...actually. I have my injured cousin at home. So, I asked favors from Alexa and Sami and they said they would stay by him for the day.' I explained.

'Owh..' Mr. Rollins said taking the files from me. 'But, what's wrong with your cousin?' he asked curiously.

Why don't you ask your friend out here?

My eyes fell on Dean who looked down slightly.

'A crazy guy had some misunderstanding and he started bashing my cousin for no reason.' I said.

I saw the crazy guy scoff a little through the corners of my eyes.

'Oh well! But, you must have lodged a complain against that crazy guy, Becky.' Mr. Rollins said looking through the files and signing them.

Really! Well, your other friend literally begged me not to..

I was about to say something but Dean barged in.

'Come on Seth! Try to understand. That crazy guy had a misunderstanding for fuck's sake and you can just imagine how frustrated he was!' Dean defended....himself. I shook my head.

Mr. Rollins sighed looking at me. 'Sorry Becky, don't mind him. Dean is Dean.' he said. I nodded.

Of course, I know.

My eyes fell on Dean whose eyes were back a few inches below my face. I felt a little conscious and looked away. I saw Dean turn too and scribble something on a notepad.

'There you go Becky.' Mr. Rollins said handling me the files but before I could get it, Dean got them.

'Wow! There are a whole lot of files, bro.' Dean said shuffling them for no reason. 'You should've taken a little more time checking them.' he pointed.

Both me and Mr. Rollins looked at him in disbelief. For god sake, Alexa checked everything and he knows that too.

'Just remember it the next time.' Dean said and handed me the files. Our fingers brushed slightly and our eyes locked. I felt chills down my spine. Dean's eyes pointed to something over the files and then I saw a note. I got out of the cabin fast.

I held the note in front of my eyes and it read,

I guess you forgot how to button your blouse

All of a sudden, I got a little self conscious and rushed to the washroom to look into the mirror.

My top was fine except that I decided to leave two top buttons undone today. Even my satin bra showed off a little. I flushed as I realized why Dean was looking there so intently. I did one more button and adjusted my top gracefully.

Much better!

I walked out of the washroom to see Dean standing there with a smirk on his face.

He eyed me head to toe and walked towards me. 'Much better!' he said with a cocky smirk.

'Just keep things right the next time.' he said and lifted his hands to the collar region of my top. I winced as he pulled the cleavage ends together. 'I don't want you to roam around revealing something not intended.' he said looking into my eyes with his blue orbs.

No Becky. Don't fall for them. He has a girlfriend and he's just obsessed with your body.

I backed away slightly.

'Why do you care? Does it distract you?' the last part slipped out of my mouth and I regretted it instantly.

I could say Dean didn't see it coming either. He looked at me blank and scoffed.

'No. I just don't want anyone else to get distracted and end up at the hospital.' he said walking closer with a smirk and patted my cheek softly. 'Got it?' he whispered.

I nodded, knowing I was falling for his charms again.

'Good.' he said and left.

******************

'What about chow mein? I love them.' Alexa suggested as we tried to decide our orders.

'Chow mein's good but I think Cockles would be better.' Finn said. 'What do you think Becks?' he asked.

'I don't know guys. I actually wanted some burgers and stuffs.' I said.

'That's it then.' Alexa said.

'Yeah, I'm fine with that too.' Finn said smiling and we ordered.

I really like the fact that Finn and Alexa are bonding well. I love getting people to meet each other. Good that me and Alexa got some time out of our lunch and decided to get to this restaurant.

As we were chatting and laughing, my phone rang and it was DEAN!

Becky: Hello.

Dean: Hey Becky!.. Can you come over to my cabin now?

Becky: Now? It's lunch hour! And I'm at a restaurant with friends.

Dean: Friends! Who friends? (surprised)

Becky: Just me, Finn and Alexa.

Dean: Owh! Fine then.

Becky: But, was it urgent?

Dean: ehm..not much. Just wanted to inform you that we planned a trip to the islands this weekend. You're coming, right?

Becky: I..I heard about that but I don't think I can.

Dean: (surprised) What? Why?

Becky: (looking at the two people in front of her) I'll tell you later.

(Disconnected)

'Who was it?' Alexa asked curiously.

'ehm..a client.' I lied not knowing why.

Alexa nodded.

'By the way Becks, I just told Alexa the prank I played on you when you were thirteen.' Finn said chuckling.

My eyes widened. 'You.Did.Not.' I said but Finn and Alexa burst into laughter.

'Really Becks...you jumped out of your window!' Alexa laughed. I rolled my eyes faking annoyance. But, the real annoyance was back as my phone rang again.

What does the guy want from me? I hesitated slightly but took the call.

Becky: Hello.

Dean: You didn't tell me why you can't come.

Becky: (frustrated) What do you want me to do D..(stops)

Dean: Just to pack your bags, that's it.

Becky: I told you I can't..

Dean: And I wanted to know why.

Becky: I really can't....right now.

Dean: Text me then. I'll try to solve it.

Becky: Whatever.

(Disconnected)

I disconnected and looked at the confused faces of Alexa and Finn.

'What?' I asked.

'You're sure it was a client?' Alexa asked.

My heart flipped.

'Uhhh..yeah..a crazy client.' I said shaking my head.

'I thought so.' Finn said and we laughed. But, my phone beeped and it was a message now.

I felt really awkward now but I read it.

Dean: I thought you were gonna text me.

Becky: I thought you'd spare me at least a minute.

Dean: Why can't you come?

I looked at Finn and then to my phone.

Becky: I just can't leave my cousin alone at home with his just-recovered injury.

Yes, that was the fact, but I didn't want to spell it out aloud. I didn't want Finn to think he was burdening me.

'Is he texting now?' Finn asked with a teasing smile.

'Ahh..yeah.' I said. It beeped again.

Dean: It's just that? Come on Becky! You can bring him to the trip with you.

What? Did he just say that?

Becky: Well, I don't think it'll be a good idea Dean.

Dean: You don't want me to make it a compulsion, do you?

Fuck! No. I know Dean and this crazy guy could do anything.

Becky: Fine. I'll try.

Dean: I want your word Becky.

I didn't respond and started eating and the phone kept on beeping every second.

'He must be missing you.' Finn said with a smirk.

Something made me confused.

'Wait! how do you know it's a he?' Alexa asked him.

Finn chuckled looking at me.

'Sixth sense.' he said.

My phone rang again.

DEAN!

Becky: Hello. Can you talk later?

Dean: No. And are you ignoring my messages.

Becky: I'm having lunch for god sake.

Dean: I understand but I just made it official that everyone is allowed to bring a family member or friend with him or her. Is that fine with you.

Becky: (overwhelmed and surprised) Yeah..ehm..Thanks.

Dean: Don't mention that...What are you plans for the beach?

Becky: Well, there are still few days left.

Dean: Dresses and all?

Becky: Bye.

(Disconnected)

Finn was laughing loud and Alexa just gave me confused looks.

'That's a lunatic. Why are you entertaining him Becks? He's a client and it's not like he's your boss or something.' she said.

I wish you knew.

'My baby cousin's too sweet to reject Alexa.' Finn said.

Several more calls came but I decided to ignore them. Dean was asking about how confused he was about packing and how I should take at least 2/3 good dresses out there.

From what my sixth sense suggests, he wanted to sleep with me again.

Dean: Are you going to wear bikinis?

Becky: Who won't? We're going to the islands.

This guy is crazy. Just then, a fact registered in my mind. They would allow a friend or a family member. Does that mean, Dean would bring Renee too? My heart stung. And my phone beeped again. It was a multimedia message this time.

My eyes widened at what I saw.

Dean: My suggestions:

Wtf! Who asked for his suggestions?

I slammed my phone blushing slightly over his pondering over my bikini designs.

'I think you should shoot this guy now.' Alexa said.

'I'm afraid she can't. He's too cool to be shot.' Finn said. I gave him a frowned look.

'I mean. he must be cool because he isn't stop calling after all your insults.' Finn said.

Disgusting!

He called again. I'd kill him now.

'Is it him?' Alexa asked.

'Yeah. Again.' I said with a sigh.

'I think you should go outside and talk with him.' Finn said.

'You're right. There's a lot of noise here.' I said excusing myself and gritting my teeth. I'll get him now. I walked to the lobby and received his call.

Becky: Hello. Would you stop calling me?

Dean: Why didn't you reply me?

Becky: Because I was busy, that's it and moreover, I'm not into the beach mode yet. (angrily)

Dean: So, you saw my bikini choices right? (slightly hesitating)

Becky: And you don't want me to follow your orders here, do you?

Dean: Why not? You know I don't like it when you show your skin much.

Becky: And who are you? My father?

Dean: (chuckles) Well, you loved calling me Daddy once.

Becky: (blushing all over) You're disgusting!

Dean: Hey! You got angry?

Becky: No. Simply annoyed. Why are you after me when you said we have nothing to do with me now? (annoyed)

Dean: (sighs and pauses) Do you hate me? (seriously)

Becky: (surprised and taken aback) (silent)

Dean: Please, don't hate me because I can never hate you.

Becky: (emotional) I..I don't hate you Dean. I just want to lead a normal life without any complications. I too am a simple girl Dean. I have wishes and dreams. (crying voice)

Dean: (silent)

Becky: (sobbing) I know you're addicted to my body and I know you want to resume our memories but trust me Dean, I'm tired of this. (sobbing). I need love Dean not sex which I can never get from you. You and Renee are perfect for each other. You love..(cut off)

Dean: Do you remember anything about the night after the blogger's park? (seriously)

Becky: You're crazy?

Dean: Oh yeah, you were drunk high. Never mind.

(Disconnected)

Dean hung up. Why did he ask me about that day? He knew I was drunk and I don't even remember who all I talked that night except that I found myself on my bed naked, in Dean's arms the next day. Weird!

I walked back to the restaurant hall still thinking how Dean didn't say a thing when I say I needed love. Why would he care? He has his own from Renee.

Frustration shook me as I reached our table.

'You're okay?' Finn asked.

I nodded.

*************

2 days later

'I still didn't made up my mind on going.' I said nonchalantly.

'C'mon! It's my first trip with you all. You can't miss it.' Bayley said. 'Of course, you can bring Finn too. Dean said we could bring a friend or a family too.' she added.

'I know but...' I really didn't know. The fact of watching Dean and Renee together was killing me.

'You'll have fun. trust me.' Bayley tried to convince me with all your heart. 'And I'm thinking of bringing my landlady's daughter too.' she said excited.

'What about Alexa?' I asked.

'I had to counsel her just like I'm doing with you and she agreed.' Bayley informed. I smiled.

'You're so sweet Bayley.' I said pinching her cheeks.

'I know I am.' she said.

'ehm..by the way, who are the bosses taking?' I asked being slightly curious.

'Well, I guess Seth and Dean hasn't got much choice left since one's family resides too far and the other has very limited associations. As for, Mr. Reigns, I don't think he's that cool bringing family members to see his extra curricular activities.' Bayley quoted referring to Mr. Reigns' sexual activities and we laughed.

'ehm...won't Miss Young be coming?' I finally asked.

'Miss Young, who? Renee Young?' she asked frowning her eyes. I nodded.

'Well, I don't think they are calling the clients this time.' she said.

I gave her a confused look.

'Not as client..ehm..may be, Mr. Ambrose could bring her with him!' I said with a beating stoned heart.

Bayley chuckled. 'Yeah, I still remember that day.' she laughed perhaps, remembering the day we met Dean and Renee at the grocery store.

I nodded. 'Oh god! We imagined too much and remember how I teased them about it.. she kept on chuckling.

'Yes. I think you could do it gain in this trip.' I said forcing a smile.

Bayley frowned her eyes.

'But, why would she come?' Bayley asked surprised.

'As..Mr. Ambrose's girlfriend, may be.' I said with shivering lips.

Bayley's laugh stopped and she looked at me blank. 'Wait! I think you aren't getting it Becky.' she said.

What am I not getting?

'Why? Aren't girlfriends allowed?' I asked.

Bayley shook her head.

'I think she would come.' I said. Bayley shook restlessly.

'But, she isn't his girlfriend.' Bayley said loudly.

My world stopped and my heart too. What did she just say? Is she joking? Am I dreaming?

'What?' I could barely ask in my choked voice.

'Yeah, I think you missed the part when you ran out of the store alone. I talked with both of them and came to know they are just friends and Dean only brought her because his car accidentally hit her.' Bayley said.

My head is throbbing now.

'Moreover, I don't think Dean would go for someone like her.' Bayley said. My heart started beating again, pounding against my chest.

'So, are you going?' Bayley asked impatiently now.

I gulped feeling the tension that just took place.

'Yes.' I said.
