Over
Blake Shelton
This happens after the kiss they shared while trying to save the boys. He realizes that he needs to make her his before Josh gets back from Africa. Because otherwise she is gone forever.
They are talking in the ambulance after they rescue the boys. She is rewrapping the bandage on his hand and thanks him for having her back in there. He smiles and thinks to himself, "If I could, I would dare. Feed your dreams, and starve your fears. If I could, light the world. We could sit and watch it burn. We could fall asleep inside the glow."
While he was thinking about her, he didn't realize that Kate was also thinking about him. She wants him to be hers, but she just doesn't know how to tell him. She doesn't know what to do. She is with Josh, and he is in Africa. What would she do?
They just sit there smiling at each other hoping that the other would say something. Something that they both know. Hoping that the other would confess what their thoughts were. Confess that they were thinking of each other. But before they got the chance, her phone started to ring. Josh. She looks up at Castle and he nods.
"Hello. Josh?" She says as she
And he thinks to himself again as he watches her talk to the one she loves. "If I could take you in, feeling you deep beneath my skin. Then I could slip away, with you as a poison in my veins. I don't wanna fall asleep alone. And wake up knowing that I died without the one."
He slowly climbs out of the ambulance and calls himself a taxi. As he waits for the taxi, he finds Ryan and Esposito. He sees how they are doing and wishes them the best when his cab pulls up. He says his goodbyes and searches the crowd for Beckett. When he finds her, he notices that she is still on the phone. She is smiling. And he thinks that it could never happen with them now. So he gets in the cab and rides away. Back to his apartment.
On his way over he thinks about her again, "Why can't you just tell me what I gotta do to win you over? You will never have to wonder if you need another. You will never have to wonder if I understand. And every time you reach for me you will find a hand out. But just tell me what to do. Because I love you."
Back at the crime scene, Beckett gets off the phone with Josh. She looks around but can't find Castle. She goes over to the boys to ask if they know where he is.
Five minutes later she is driving as fast as she could to his apartment. And when she finally gets there she practically runs into the lobby and to the elevator. She waits until she gets up to his floor, then runs again. She runs as fast as she could to his door. She knocks and waits. When the door opens, Alexis is standing there. Kate becomes a little confused.
"Beckett?" The teenage girl asks.
"Alexis? Where is Caslte?"
"Isn't he with you?"
"No, the boys said he went home."
"Ohh, well he isn't here. He must still be on his way. He probably took a cab. You know them. Always taking a long time to get to the destination. Just want to get extra money."
"Ohh. Okay."
"Do you want to wait for him inside?"
"Yah, sure." Kate says as Alexis opens the door up all the way and lets her in.
"You know where most of the stuff is. I will be in my room if you need me. Big physics test on Thursday." She said as she made her way up the stairs to her room.
When Alexis left, Kate thought she had time to think about what she was about to do. But she was wrong. As soon as Alexis went upstairs and was out of vision, she heard the front door open. She turned and got up from the couch to see who it was.
But the look on his face when she turned around made her rethink everything she had decided upon.
"Kate? What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to talk to you about something. But then Josh called. When I finished with him, you were gone. The boys said you went home. I guess I drive faster than a cab does."
"Yah, I guess you do."
"Can we talk?"
"Umm, yah. I guess. What about?" He asked.
"Us."
"What do you mean?" He was now absolutely confused.
"Josh is back in town."
"Ohh." He said sadly.
"But I broke up with him."
"What?" He said looking back up at her.
"I told Josh that it was over. He isn't the one that makes me the happiest anymore. I thought he was, but he isn't. With him, I always wonder if I need another. I wonder if he understands me. And every time I reach for him I never find a hand out." She admits.
"I am sorry. I have ice cream. That always makes me feel better after a break up. Do you want some?" he asks as he starts to make his way to the kitchen.
She follows him but before he gets to the freezer, she pulls him back and says, "Castle. I don't want ice cream. I want someone who will win me over. I want someone who when I am with him, I never have to wonder if I need another. I never have to wonder if he understands. And every time I reach for him, I find his hand."
"Am I supposed to help you with that?" He asks.
"Seriously?" She says as she turns and walks back into the living room. She sits down on the couch and buries her face in her knees.
Castle quickly runs to her when he hears sobbing. "Kate? What is wrong?"
"You. Castle do you now understand what is happening right now?" She says not looking up from her knee caps.
"No, I actually don't." He says honestly.
She finally takes her head out from her knees and shifts so that they are facing each other. She looks up into his eyes and says, "I was trying to tell you that I wanted you to be the person I described. That you are all I ever wanted. I was trying to tell you that I love you."
He just looked at her in disbelief. He didn't know what to say. Was he supposed to say something, or was he supposed to kiss her? What was he supposed to do?
"Castle. Please say something, tell me that I didn't make a mistake. Please." She begged.
"No, Kate. With me you will never make a mistake. Never. I promise."
She just looks up at him and smiles. He takes that as a hint that everything is perfect between them and that they should move forward and on with their lives.
He places his hands on her cheeks and she can feel the warmth of his hands before he leans in and kissed her.
"Kate?"
"Hmmmm?"
"For the record, I love you too."
