Meeting for the first Time.
This is my first fan fiction crossover between CSI New York and Castle. Alexis Castle meets Reid Garrett for the first time in a coffee shop. Their friendship is one Alexis treasures. There will be a mention of Caskett/Smacked. Not sure if it is to be a one-shot or not.
Meeting Reid.
Alexis walked into her favourite coffee shop and straight away the owner knew her and said "Miss Castle it has been a while since you came here to have hot chocolate, how have you been and your father is still doing what he does best", "Yes Mr. Lawrence it has been a while since I have been in and my father is still helping the 12th precinct and he still writes", said Alexis. At this time Maitiú Lawrence the owner of the coffee shop had showed Alexis to her seat, which wasn't to far from the precinct. When Alexis sat down at her table she took out her books to do some work and then she took out one of her father's books so that she could read it when she was finished doing schoolwork. Maitiú asked Alexis did she want her hot chocolate right now and Alexis just shook her head indicting that she did not want it right now. So Mr. Lawrence left her to do what she does best which was work on her schoolwork alone.
Time flew by it was lunchtime already and Alexis was stuck on one piece of her schoolwork and she started to get frustrated about it plus she had not had anything to eat since breakfast that morning. Reid had come into the coffee shop hoping to get some work done also. He ordered something to eat and a cappuccino and he went to find a place to sit and work the only seat free was the one across from Alexis and he went over to her to ask her if it was ok for him to sit opposite her but when he arrived at the table he saw what she was working on and the one bit that frustrated her to no end and that was the ice-breaker he needed. "Hey, listen I had the same problem, if I can sit opposite you I can show you one way to work it out", said Reid. "Oh of course what time is it do you know I left my watch at home and my phone is in my bag", said Alexis. "It's lunchtime and by the way my name is Reid Garrett, what's yours", said Reid. "Oh my god my dad would kill me if I didn't have something to eat", said Alexis at that moment her stomach began to growl fiercely before she told him her name. "I am sorry I almost forgot to tell you my name it is Alexis Castle, it's nice to meet you Reid Garrett", said Alexis. "It's nice to meet you to Alexis, let's eat something before I show you the solution to that problem ok", said Reid and Alexis nodded her head in agreement.
So after lunch Reid done as promised and Alexis thanked him and they both continued their work separately. Alexis dug her phone out of her bag and sent her dad a text hopefully everything between him and Detective Beckett is all right. When Alexis put her other books away she picked up her father's first Nikki Heat Novel and started to read it and she was really enjoying it until someone had started to take pictures she put the book down and stared out the window and saw someone staring at her and she got real uncomfortable. Reid had noticed something was wrong and stopped what he was working at and asked "Alexis is there something wrong?" and she turned to look at him and smiled weakly at him and said "My ex-boyfriend is back from Stanford and it is strange to see him across the street watching me, I thought that Ashley and I could be friends but if he keeps doing this I'm going to have to speak to Detective Beckett about it because if I tell my dad he'll freak out". "You know something I never really got to know my real mother but through Detective Taylor I've gotten to that she loved me enough to give me up for adoption to have a good start in life, but I had a girlfriend like you I would not let you go without a fight", said Reid. While Reid and Alexis were talking two things happened the first was Stella walked in with Flack asking to speak to one of the staff members and the second was Castle walked in and saw Alexis sitting talking to a young man and saw the smile that was missing for the last month.
"Mr. Lawrence do you have my usual order of coffee and pastries for me?" asked Castle. "Why Mr. Castle it is good to see you again and yes your order is on its way, will I tell your daughter that you're here", said Maitiú. "No I don't want to disturb her conversation plus I'll see her at home later for dinner", said Castle. "Ok, Mr. Castle whatever you say and here is your order and thank you for your custom", said Maitiú. Castle paid for the items and left and headed towards the 12th precinct and hopes that his partner takes his peace offering as a sign of a truce and that neither one will discuss what happened until this case is over. Once Stella and Flack were finished talking to the person they asked to see they spotted Reid and went over to say hi. "Hey you how are you doing?" Stella asked. Reid looked up from Alexis's face and said "Hey Stella, Don, I'm fine and you guys let me guess doing what you do best trying to catch bad guys and put them behind bars, how's Mac", said Reid. Stella just smiled and said "he's the same works non-stop and rarely gets a break". "Oh, I'm sorry Alexis this is Stella Bonasera and Don Flack they work with my step-dad, guys, this is Alexis Castle a friend", said Reid. "Well it's nice to meet you but I'm afraid we got to get back before Mac starts wondering where we are, see you soon Reid and Alexis it was a pleasure to meet you bye", said Stella. And with that both Stella and Don left and went back to work. "Wait till Mac hears we bumped into Reid, I wonder how he will react", said Don to Stella. "Don things between Mac and Reid are at a bit of a standstill so tread lightly ok and I think it's best if he hears this news from me ok", said Stella.
It was getting late and Alexis asked Reid if he would get a taxi with her home that way she would feel a lot safer and Reid agreed to do just that and so they went home. Alexis was dropped off first and she paid for her half of the taxi ride and she gave Reid a kiss goodbye on the cheek and went straight into the lobby and headed upstairs and as she got in the elevator she saw her friend and smiled at him and waved as the doors closed all she saw was his smile get wider knowing that she was safe. With that Reid gave the taxi driver the address of his parents house and was glad he met a smart beautiful young woman who could take his breath away every time she spoke but right now she just needs a friend.
