Musings of Caskett: Rick's Observations
Summary: Snippets of Rick and Kate's journal entries on random events of their budding relationship.
Chapter Summary: Rick dishes out his Moleskine and writes down short entries about the slices of his life with Kate Beckett.
S/N: Yo! This one came as a bit of inspiration from an experience this past weekend. Aibo will be typing out a chapter after this detailing Kate's side of things. We're not sure how far this will stretch out, but we'll see where things go from there. Hope you guys enjoy it!
It wouldn't be the first time I had brought a woman into my bed, much less one without the pretense of having god-awful sex with. Nope. This time was particularly different. Why? Well, let's just say the bed had more function than I would for my lady friend.
Kate Beckett and I have been secretly going out for what? 4 years? I could say with the utmost confidence that what we share is magical, and I couldn't think of a grander scene than the sight of her at my doorstep, drenched and slightly out of breath mere moments before we shared the most awesome lip-locking kisses I've ever experienced this side of the universe. YEAH. It was THAT hot.
Wait. Not the point of this. Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah. So Kate's tucked under the covers on the bed beside me, fast asleep and feeling worse for wear considering the uncooperative elements of mother nature. If I thought about it, she wasn't as sick as this yesterday. But what can you do with stomach flu? (Oh hey a rhyme!)
Take-out from McDonald's and a mini Doctor Who marathon didn't lift her spirits, and more so aided in increasing Kate's trips to the bathroom. I felt like a 6-year old having to care for my mom who insisted that she was okay. But hey, at least I didn't panic like a headless chicken right? Right.
Of course I couldn't say the same for myself. While the future missus was down with stomach flu, I had a case of the cough and colds. I guess I didn't notice it much when I was more worried about Kate. My poor, poor Kate.
Tea and bananas didn't help. But having something remotely soothing theoretically helped. I should remember to stock up on ginger tea for future occasions. I felt so useless as he slept.
Maybe she was pregnant? I sort of remember Meridith going through that barfing phase or something. Though I think Kate would literally kill me for getting her laid so early on. Fingers crossed that that isn't the case yet. I wanna live a little longer.
