Found this story I wrote back in June, when looking for "Hampton heat" another story I was working on now. Anyway, thought I post it before 6X1 airs this coming Monday. I thought that someone might enjoy it. It's another one of my 6X1 dreams that I had.
where's my ring?
another 6X1
6/10/13
"Kate I want more, you know that I love you but...I..." Castle gets up to leave then gets on one knee, Beckett glances at his odd behavior, "Katherine Houghton Beckett, will you marry me?"
She just stares not knowing what to say, not expecting him to propose and before she could find her words, she found herself reaching out to him. with tears in her eyes, she reaches for the ring... "Castle I..."
and then with a horn blasting, poof...Castle and the ring disappear.
Beckett shook her head, "What the hell?" Another blast of a horn, that's when she realizes that she's still her in her car, stopped at a red light. Taking a deep breath she slowly steps on the gas easing her car back into the traffic. So all of this was just a dream...a tear slid down her face, remembering the tone of his voice on the phone. He didn't sound happy with her. Am I...just fooling myself coming to see him. I mean...did I...Am I...She pulls up behind another parked car at the park. Scanning the area she spots Castle on a swing with his head down in his hands.
What's he thinking? She slides her hand down her face, probably not the same thing I'm. What if...don't go there...She smiles she knows what she's going to do. He deserves more...I deserve more...She walks up to him, and sits in the swing opposite him. He doesn't even look up to give her any notice. She nods to herself as if giving herself permission. She reaches under his chin, she wants him to look at her when she says what she has come to say.
"Castle," she tilts his head up but he still has his eyes closed. "Castle look at me." She waits for a second and with no response, "Please, I want you to look at me."
He slowly opens his eyes, "why," he whispers, "You..."
"Because I..." she wraps her hands around his face and gently kisses him on the lips. "I'm sorry...I shouldn't..." she starts but he interrupts her.
"Listen I..." she places her fingers to his lips,
"Before you say anything else, I have to say something to say..." she leans down once again and brushes her lips across his. "Now, I have a question for you, ..." she takes her hands and wraps then around his. "I know it's out of the blue but..."
She swallows, "Richard Alexander Edgar Rogers Castle will you marry me?"
"What?" he chuckles. Did she just hear him laugh at her proposal. What was so funny about that...maybe...this was a mistake...I... Beckett swallows, "I know..." she stands pulling her fingers from his. "This is..." she sniffs.
He gets up out of the swing, races over to her and wraps his arms around her neck pulling her closer to him, kissing her. After he was able to catch to his breath again. He steps back.
"Well, I..." she glances at him.
"Well," he pauses, "Well, where's my ring? I can't say 'yes' without one..." he jokes.
"Castle..." Then his words sank in. "Oh, Castle...I..."
He slipped his hand in his pocket. "How will this one do?" He held up the one that he bought for her.
"I..." Beckett stares. He didn't wait her answer, he slid the ring on her finger.
"I do." He said. "Always,"
the end.
