Chapter 2
AN: So I finally got around to update this fic. I don't like to make excuses, so I'm just going to say that I'm sorry for not updating sooner. I hope you'll still read this!
"Go and get your man girl!" Lanie said to Beckett as she dropped her off at Castle's building.
"I'm only going because you set this up." Beckett replied and rolled her eyes at Lanie.
"Sure honey! Just keep in mind that I'll sit by the phone waiting for details." And with that Beckett closed the car door and walked into Castle's building. She was way more nervous than she let Lanie know, this was nerve-wrecking.
As Beckett was nearing Castle's appartment, Castle was phasing back and forth. He knew that he had to be confident and calm when she arrvived, unless of course he wanted an awkward evening. Then there was a knock on the door, Castle checked his hair and went to answer the door.
On the other side of the door, Castle noticed a nervous detective holding a bottle of wine, he knew that he had to get himself together to make this a good evening.
"Hi" Beckett said as she handed him the wine.
"Good evening Kate" He said, as confident as he could be, leaned in for a quick kiss on the cheek and took the bottle.
Wow Beckett thought, firstname basis and a kiss on the cheek, he did not appear to be as nervous as she was.
"Come in, can I take your jacket?" She always knew that he was a gentleman, but he was acting different than normally.
"Yeah sure" she answered with that smile that makes him swoon.
They walked into the apparment, Castle first heading right to the kitchen counter where two wine glasses were waiting. "You really know me, don't you?" Castle said as he poored the wine into the glasses, Beckett had a questioning look on her face. "You brought my favorite wine" He said as he handed her her glass. "Care to join me on the coach, since the food won't be here until another 15 minutes?"
"Sounds good." She answered as she turned, to walk over to the coach. They sat down on the coach with a distance between them.
They small-talked for a couple of minutes before the food arrvived. As they started eating Beckett said "Castle, I need to be honest with you"
AN: Don't kill me.
