Sorry for the wait, here's chapter four.
Beckett so just wanted to shoot him, just graze him a bit, as she turned around and headed to the ladies. As she sat there looking at the test thirty seconds later something started to appear. One blue line clearly came out. Beckett looked at the box and saw that one line was negative.
"There you go Castle." she said aloud.
She went out to wash her hands and put the box down with the instructions up and the negative test right under the picture for reference. After drying her hands she went to pick the box up and noticed something was different.
"What the hell?" Kate spoke to the thin air.
Suddenly a couple of images flashed in her head. Her and Castle sitting drunk on her couch and the her suddenly kissing him. Then she was straddling his lap and his hands were under her shirt and then on her thighs and then her face.
"No." Kate said, again to the thin air.
Ten minutes later she came out to find Castle still sitting in the same position. She just flung her coat over the back of her chair before sitting down and starting back paper work.
"Well?" Castle asked.
"Well, I did it." Beckett said.
"And?" Castle asked.
"There's nothing 'and' about it Castle, I did it, that's it. Now leave me alone, I have work to do and if I'm going to get to your dinner tonight I need to do it. I don't want the Captain on me for having to come in on overtime this weekend." Beckett said, continuing to work.
"Fine, I have a party to get ready for any way." Castle said, sounding a little hurt.
It was only five forty five and Kate was standing at Kit's door. She had left work early because she was having a hard time focusing and had just decided to drop by like Kit had suggested. She knocked on the door and it opened quickly. Kit stood there in nothing but her boy-short underwear, her bra, and an olive green tank top. Mud On The Tires was playing in the background and she could see clothes on the floor.
"Kate, you're early!" Kit said.
"Sorry, I just…" Kate said.
"No, come on in! I'm just not quite ready yet." Kit said, walking over to the radio and turning it down.
Kate came in and closed the door.
"Make yourself at home." Kit said, sitting down on the bed.
Kit had her arms behind her head and had started to braid her hair into a fishtail braid.
"Thanks." Kate said, taking a seat in one of the chairs.
"So, how was your day?" Kit asked, getting up and looking around.
"We caught the person from our case this morning." Kate said. "Here, I always carry a few." Kate said, figuring out Kit was looking for a tie for her hair.
Kate stood up and pulled out a black tie and went to Kit, taking her hair, she wound the tie around the end.
"Well, that's good!" Kit said.
Kate only just realized that she had tied up this woman's hair without even thinking about it. Somehow it just felt so normal, treating her like a younger sister.
"How old are you?" Kate blurted.
Without even a hint of a pause Kit answered.
"Twenty five. So you had a good day? You did meet me after all!" Kit said.
Kate gave a small smile, "Yeah, I did meet you.", she said.
"Mmm, but there's other troubles on your mind." Kit said, looking in the mirror and putting a bit of mascara on, not that she needed it.
"How'd you know?" Kate asked.
"Don't worry about it. We work through the problems in life or we work around them until we are more prepared to work through them. Sometimes, they even work themselves out. Life is bazar like that." Kit said.
Kate thought about what Kit said. She was right, she had always been able to figure out and work through every other problem in her life. No reason she should sit here and worry when she could actually have a good night. She found herself falling onto the bed backwards letting her arms and a cleansing breath out.
"You're right." Kate said.
"I quite often am!" Kit said, giving Kate a melting smile. "So, who all am I meeting tonight?" Kit asked.
"Wow, ok. Castle, of course." Kate said, giving Kit a knowing look.
"You know, I looked him up. If I had time to read, I might read one of his books. All the sites made him out to some kind of 'play boy' though. But something about him makes me think it's all an act, he looks, caring." Kit said.
"He is, he can just act like a giant kid most of the time." Kate said.
"Don't most men? Well, I'll have to apologize for the verbal beating I gave him." Kit said.
"Don't you dare, that was one of the best things to happen to me in the last six months!" Kate said, propping herself up on her elbows and forearms.
"Alright, then! So, who else?" Kit asked, now dressed in her jeans and rubbing a tiny bit of crème blush on her cheeks.
"Well, there's Martha, Castle's mother. She's a lovely woman, so much to her than she lets on. There's also Alexis, Castle's daughter. She just turned eighteen and is bright and funny and kind, she's just a great kid. Next we have Javier Esposito who is partners with Kevin Ryan. They are the other detectives that I work with. Kevin's fiancé can't be there tonight, but her name is Jenny and she seems really nice, I don't really know her though. Finally we have Lanie, one of the MEs at the 12th and one of my best friends. She's dating Esposito right now. I think that's all." Kate said.
Kit had now put some lip gloss on, her boots, and a cream and brown checkered farm shirt over the tank as she grabbed her coat.
"Is this okay?" Kit asked.
Kate looked at her and was amazed at how Kit could go from sex goddess in underwear to ravishing girl next door with two pieces of clothes and a braid.
"Are you kidding? Look at me." Kate said, standing and holding her coat out.
"Kate, you look beautiful, like really." Kit said.
"Well, thanks, but I don't feel it." Kate said, leaving the room with Kit.
Ok, well, there it is. I'm going to warn you now that as this story goes on it may have a tendency to get a bit...rambling. I wrote most of this stuff after no sleep at three in the morning. It's also going to get a bit angsty in possibly one or two upcoming chapters, but after that it should just be fluffy goodness! Thanks for all the alerts and favs on this, and thanks to those who review! It always makes me happy and puts me back in the writing mood.
On a side note, to mrsNCISbonesSUPERfan, thank you for your review and the country music may be a bit light right now, but we're still in the city.
