Alexis Castle should have known she was asking for trouble. Without noticing, she had been out all night and a good part of the afternoon with her friends. Her dad was most likely at the precinct or a crime scene (he says research, she says procrastinating and hiding from Gina). Her grandmother would be at the school with her acting class, so the living room would be clear.
WRONG!
In her rushed haste to get through the door, she failed to notice the already occupied couch until she heard a groan coming from that general direction. Despite her better judgement, she turned around and her jaw hit the floor.
Her dad
On the couch
Making out with someone.
She had to be dreaming right?
"Dad?"
He turned, staring at her in shock.
"Alexis?"
Ok, definately not a dream. Wait...the woman he was making out with...
"Beckett?"
"Sweetie, I can explain."
"I'm listening."
Hands on her hips, the teenagers demeanor always made him feel unnerved, stammering over his words until his accomplise put him out of his misery.
"Alexis, your father and I have been...seeing each other. Away from the precinct."
"How long?"
"Not very. Two weeks maybe." Doing the math in her head she deduced...
"You got together after my graduation?! Wait, was that why you were acting weird about giving me asprin? Were you stalling while Kate left the apartment?"
"Sweetie..."
"No dad. Why didnt you tell me something this important? Didnt you think I had the right to know that the two of you were dating? Were you even planning to tell me?"
In the four years that she had known him, Beckett had never seen Castle quite so speechless as he was right now. How were they going to justify not telling one of the most important people in his life that he was dating the one woman they all knew he had feelings for? Once again, she came to the rescue.
"We're sorry Alexis, we never meant to hide it from anyone. Its just...its new and slightly complicated with work and we just wanted to keep it quiet until we got used to it."
She had stood and walked around the couch as she spoke, leaving her clueless boyfriend(?) staring like a fly trap at them. Alexis strolled forward, sizing up the detective before her. Without warning, the red head threw her arms around her, giving the surprised brunette a warming hug.
"Take care of him ok?"
"Always."
They shared a knowing smile between them, the lone man in their lives still completely oblivious as to what was going on.
