The next morning

Dean wakes up well rested, he surprising had a good night sleep. He wakes up expecting Brooke to not be there, she usually isn’t on the weekends... for reasons. But Brooke still lays in bed, she is awake though.

Brooke notices Dean has woken up and instantly starts to complain. She’s really sore and can’t walk and needs him to take care of her today, not in the fun sexual way but the waiting on her hand and foot. Dean thinks it’s unfair and that the person that did this to her should wait on her, but he would never say that.

Brooke stays in bed while Dean goes downstairs to make breakfast for the both of them. Richard’s door cracked open when Dean walked by. Both of them a disappointed this morning. Richard’s door shut upon him noticing it was just Dean.

Dean serves Brooke in bed, she likes being waited on hand and foot. Dean gives her ice packs and anything else she needs. She is good for now so Dean goes downstairs to watch some TV.

It is a generally boring day for everyone. Dean catches up on some shows on TV. Richard plays video games in his room, Brooke relaxes in bed.

Dinner time comes around and Brooke is yelling for Dean to fix her up something. Dean follows orders and serves her once again. Brooke reminds him that she needs to reverse her sleeping schedule because of work, 8pm will be 8am in China. Tomorrow at 8pm she will be starting the week.

After serving her dinner, Brooke goes to bed planning on waking up at midnight and staying up all morning to try and get used to the time in China. Dean meanwhile is glad he’s off the hook for taking care of her. He goes downstairs and plants himself on the couch.

Richard was already in the living room, that usually doesn’t happen. Dean and Richard make small talk, a new normal. Richard then uncharacteristically walks up the stairs calmly and early, it’s not that late. Dean maybe thinks he is going to change his sleep schedule to spend more time with Brooke... the idea swirls around in Dean’s head. Maybe he was right or maybe he’s just overthinking it.

Dean spends the next few hours alone watching TV. He totally forgot up until now that the master plan had another day of anal on the agenda. Guess nobody got lucky today, Dean was okay with that, he will let it slide.

Dean heads up for bed just before midnight, as he enters the room, Brooke’s alarm goes off. Brooke wakes up annoyed, “ugh already?” She slowly gets up, she can walk now but slowly as she is still sore from the beating her ass took. Brooke wishes Dean good night and she will see him when he wakes up. She leaves the room headed for her office.

Dean gets ready for bed. He lays down and stares at the ceiling thinking about what tomorrow will bring. He shuts his eyes and falls asleep.

He wakes up, it’s pitch black in his room. He hears something. But slowly starts to drift off. Another noise, he opens his eyes again, the faint sound of moaning echos in the house. Dean can’t stay awake and drifts off to sleep again.
