Author's Note:
Hello all! My brain was creatively dead for quite a few days until 'SET UP' happened to me! hehe. Seriously, wasn't it one of the best eppys, especially after the not very eventful 'Final nail' if I may add...? I thoroughly loved the eppy especially since they showed a very practical break-up of sorts b/w Beckett and Josh... like they said who could compete with 'life saving'? Well I'm happy that Mr. Castle's love life is saved at last! Though he didn't get a chance to confess in the tent, I'm sure whenever he does it will be surely the BEST eppy ever!
Oops I'm blabbering incoherently...sorry just got carried away with the fab eppy and even fab promos... ;) Well about this story? Nothing much , just my imagination running wild. It will mostly be a 3-parter and all small parts too. So, as always 'Happy reading'. :)
Spoiler alert : mild spoilers for 'Set up'
Beta reader : Beckett- NYPD . As usual thanks for tolerating my bugging dear. :)
Disclaimer : I don't own Castle.
Enough is enough!
Richard Castle loved all the expressions that he has ever seen on her… that is except for two of those, one where she seems heartbroken and the other, which he wholeheartedly despised and which always ended by making him heartbroken. That was the exact look which she had now. He would have loved it if it were directed towards him but that seemed to be the main problem; it just never was directed towards him. And the possibility of it happening now seemed like a very distant dream, if it would ever happen, in the first place.
The look which was bothering him so much was the one where she smiles coyly, almost shy in a girlish way to herself. Why she was smiling was the very reason Rick was fuming and it all started 5 minutes ago.
After they had found the radioactive bomb and satisfactorily saved the city and all their loved ones in it, everyone decided it was time to go home and spend a night with their loved ones simply celebrating life, which as they all realized was very unreliable. And Rick had decided this was God's way of giving back the chance he missed earlier in the quarantine tent. He was planning to invite Kate to his loft and subtly hint her that he would be always there for her, in fact his whole family would be and she would and should never feel alone when he is there for her.
But all his hopes were dashed when one irritating, arrogant, bull headed man decided to call Beckett alone for a moment and talk to her. Yup, he was none other than Agent Fallon whom Castle hated from the very beginning and now he thoroughly despised him to the core, as he was the reason, His Beckett seemed to have that look on her!
He could only guess what would have happened in that wretched 5-minute conversation they had because by the end of the case it was clear that if there was anyone who had even hated Beckett in the past would have fallen for her the way she solved and braved the terrorists. And since he didn't have any gross negative opinion on her earlier, it was only natural that he was smitten by her. Or at least that's what Castle thought.
Now he had seen that look on her before and it had been one of his worst nightmarish days…the day he witnessed her kissing that stupid Demming. He thought, 'why does this always happen to me? Every time I think I have a chance with somebody, some nobody comes out of somewhere and steals her away from me. Last time it was Demming, then just when I accepted my defeat and left her to be happy, what do I see on my return? She is with some motorcycle riding world saver! And now finally after all these years when I think I'm going to finally get my chance, here comes another stranger to take her away from me! Enough is enough! I am not going to take this lying down. She doesn't even spare a look at me just because I'm always with her. She is taking me for granted; this is just not done. This is just like they say, 'what's right beneath your own nose you don't see nor appreciate'.
So I have made my decision, until she comes searching for me I won't go to her. Let me see if the adage' Distance makes the heart grow fonder' has any truth in it or is it also one of those numerous corporate lies used to sell greeting cards! '
Hmmm... I know lot of you are planning to murder me for this. :D But hey there is a small twist to the tale,but you gotta wait till part-3 for that! ;)
So for now I could use some reviews to motivate me to open up the word doc and type up the next chapter. So some reviews please? :)
