Title: Little Precinct of Horrors Chapter 4
Characters: Rick Castle! I finally woke him up slight mention of Gina just to get her out of there, I can't figure out how to work her in.
Author's note: sorry I took so long to get a castle chapter, my muse was playing elsewhere and wouldn't work with me for a bit.
Rick sighed as he stared out the window of his beach house He had regretted inviting Gina to the Hampton's with him about as soon as the elevator doors closed. She hadn't even made it a day before he had pulled up his now favorite app on his iphone and called the car service to take her home. Never again, never ever again. He sighed as the explosions on the movie behind him got even louder, not even Indiana Jones could take his mind off of what he had left behind in the city. He was a chicken and he knew it, He had picked up his phone countless times, started an e-mail, he even got in his car and drove almost all the way back before he heard this little voice in his head reminding him that his Kate was dating Demming and while he had dropped hints left and right for her he was just the tag along writer monkey.
The more he thought about it the more annoyed with himself he got. He may just be the writer, but he was just as observant as the detectives he shadowed…he couldn't get through life as a nine year old on a sugar rush forever. Kate had been trying to get a message across to him in the last conversation he had with her before Gina sunk her claws into his arm. After all of his teasing to Kate about Ying needing Yang, cause Ying and Ying made up the name of a panda what had he done, found his most recent Ying and took off into the sunset.
He smiled as he thought back to the night that her apartment exploded. Was he happy that Dunn had targeted her, oh no hell no. He was happy that he finally got to have her spend the night in his home. Now his fantasies had always involved them sharing his bed and being woken up by three or four kids jumping on the bed as Alexis smiled from the doorway, holding the smallest one in her arms. But, for better or worse she had been actually living in his home for a while. He tried to show her that his mother had not only raised a gentleman but had house trained him too. For the short time she had lived under his roof, it was almost like they were a family, Himself, Martha, Alexis, and Kate.
He sighed as he turned away from the deck and back to turn the TV off as the credits to the movie rolled. When Demming showed up He somehow became blinded. He had been so focused on beating out the man that not only had he lost sight of who he had been fighting for, but he lost his ability to see her. Not the hard nosed detective, that he saw everyday in the bull pin and the interrogation rooms. He had lost the ability to see her and know when she was having a bad day, or when she needed to bounce a crazy theory off of someone, and no one but him would get it. In Short, he saw the outer layer the one that everyone else got to see everyday but that wasn't what he missed. No what he missed most was Kate the woman who went with him to Remy's after they both skipped out on they're blind dates to close a case. She wasn't a cop or out with Mr. July or anyone else she needed to impress. He smiled as he remembered taking her dress bag from her and offering her his arm as they walked to the elevators. He fought all he could to not do a victory dance when she took his arm and started twirling her hair. Demming had better enjoy his time with Kate while he could Rick thought as he closed the door to his study and made his way up the stairs, because he had promised Kate he would see her in the fall and he didn't care what he had to do, Demming would end up just like Sorenson her ex and Kate would walk away with him, to his home where she belonged.
