Castle's mind was blank, he couldn't think past the rage that was taking over his body. He was inch's from the door frame when he heard Simon Hunt (Mr. British Pretty boy) make a flirty remark, which just made his gears grind.
"You know detective, I don't think I've ever worked with a women as beautiful as yourself."
She giggled, Kate Beckett his muse was giggling over his cheesy compliment. You have got to be kidding me. Rick wasn't only infuriated with the fact that this tool was flirting with her, but now he grew even more jealous, thinking back to when he first tried flirting with her, she never giggled at his charming remarks. What makes this guy so special? Oh so what, I don't have some sexy accent. Is she really going to just throw me off her checklist because of that?
"Hey guys." Rick interrupted them, Beckett could hear a tint of aggravation to his voice, almost bitter.
"Hey Castle" Kate said turning away from Hunt "Is everything alright?" She looked concerned.
"Oh yeah, no, every things great" He said with an okay sign with his fingers.
Kate ignored the sarcastic twist to his sentence.
"Okay then?" Kate wasn't buying it, but also wasn't going to question it.
"Just came in here to get some coffee, that's all." Rick brushed past Hunt, purposely bumping his shoulder into his with a little more force than needed.
As he was fixing himself his coffee he could hear, 'snobby mc snob pants' still dallying about with Kate.
"I was wondering if you had any plans tonight detective, I heard of this really nice bar around here, it's called 'the old' something?" Slaughter tried to think of the name of the bar, but couldn't put his finger on it, luckily Kate helped him out.
" 'The old Haunt?" She asked already knowing the answer.
"YES!" Hunt snapped his fingers in excitement.
Rick smiled to himself no way is she going to go to MY bar with this fool, he doesn't stand a chance. Rick being full of himself decided to show this guy what he's got.
"Thank you for the compliment." Rick said with a smug look on his face.
Beckett glared at him, knowing he was doing this to boost his ego.
"I'm sorry, what?" Hunt was puzzled, not expecting Castle to just jump into the conversation, and saying that, how bizarre.
"The uh, Old Haunt, that's my bar." Rick knew he sounded full of himself maybe even like a big douche, but at the moment he didn't care, this guy was trying ruin everything he has been building with Beckett, and he isn't going to stand by and watch their wonderful 'date' unravel right in front of his very eyes. No he wanted Kate to know that she belonged to him, just like he belonged to her. It's only fair.
"Oh you don't say." Hunt said turning his head side ways to Beckett, as if for reassurance that Castle was telling the truth.
"Yeah he bought it last year." She said smiling as she rolled her eyes, amused at the fact that Castle was trying to show off.
"Oh well I've got to say Rick, you've got yourself a nice place." Hunt said, there was an inch of annoyance shinning through his voice, but sincerity all at once.
"Yeah, you should go there, it's always a fun time." God do I sound like an ass Rick was amused though, so he ended his remark with "I mean since I do own it and all." Placing his eyes right on Beckett's, who was now giving him the death stare. Rick didn't shutter away from it though, actually he did quit the opposite, he embraced it, took it as a sign of her knowing what he was doing.
"Oh well." Hunt turned to Kate "Detective how bout it then?"
Castle tried hiding his cocky grin, failing miserably.
Beckett's eyes fluttered to Rick's as if seeking his council, she might not be dating Castle at the moment but after everything they have been through that month she knew they were more than Partners, once she saw his smile though, she narrowed her eyes to his, and turned to Hunt with a haunting smile.
"Actually that sounds great, let me go get my bag." She turned to Rick, to see his face now.
Rick's lips that were just a smile formed into straight lines, his jaw was set shut, clenched, his eyes grew dark with some type of anger. His expression was almost scary, sending a shiver down Kate's spine. She chose that time to exit the room and go grab her things.
Rick watched as his evil muse exited the muse, his fist clenched around his mug of his coffee, enragement bubbling through his veins making him ignore the feeling of the scorching mug sizzling his hand.
"So your going for Beckett I see?" Castle said threw his teeth.
"Yeah man, she's one hot piece of ass." Hunt said rudely, not realizing Castle's tense mood.
Are you kidding me! Kate is going to go for this low life slime? Rick's vision pretty much went to a blur, this guy really didn't know how much he just evoked him, not having anymore control over his anger he let his words fly.
"Hey! She's not just some bimbo you try to score with, okay bud!" Rick nearly shouted as he dropped his coffee, leaving it splashing everywhere, hitting his dark blue jeans, the liquid would probably feel like it was melting him, if he could feel past his now what seems to be black out of full rage. He pushed Hunt into the break room table, with all the force he could get out.
Ryan dropped an eminem out of his mouth as he saw the show play out in front of him and Esposito.
"Should we do something?" Ryan practically whispered, trying to find his mouth as he placed another eminem in it.
"Naw man, I'm not ruining this, it's too perfect, wait until Beckett gets in on it." Esposito nodded his head towards where Beckett was standing.
Kate was just putting her jacket on when she heard the crash from the break room, she turned around immediately, wondering what in gods name it was. Once she saw Rick and Hunt going at it in the break room, her stomach dropped.
"DAMMIT CASTLE!" she yelled to herself as she stormed towards the room, wondering how she was going to break this brawl up, surly if it didn't end soon Gate's would see all the commotion and not even think twice on kicking Castle out of the precinct.
