I don't own anything Castle – this is to give writing a whirl as this story formed in my head.
White Swans
Chapter 4
"Girlfriend, I was wondering where you were! But since Castle didn't call because he couldn't find you I figured you were alive and well somewhere!"
"I was with Castle."
"All night?"
"Yup."
"Details, please! You know what they say about a man's hands, Castle's are pretty darn big, so is it true?" With that comment Esposito started and stared questioningly at Lanie in the bed beside him.
Kate remembered the feel of her hands in his...They are pretty big... "Nothing happened Lanie."
"What?"
"I planted a kiss on him and then passed out. We talked all day and I left."
Lanie began to speak when Kate interrupted her. "All he wanted to do was talk! We didn't even say much; we both want the same thing so what is the big deal? So frustrating! Do you know how long it has been since I have had sex?"
"Did you tell him that?"
"What, that I haven't had sex in some 6 months?"
"Well, more that you didn't think that you needed to talk that much."
"I suppose I did but he was all logical and rational...that's supposed to be my department. I know he is right and I will thank him in the end but right now I just want to jump his bones!"
"Down girl!"
"He did leave me with an electrifying kiss. Just as I was leaving he pulled me back and kissed me like I have never been kissed before. You know in romance novels when the damsel in distress sees fireworks and all that jazz – that is what I felt. It was wonderful! That undercover kiss I told you about a few weeks ago made my legs go week and that was nothing in comparison to this." Kate sighed and was lost in thought.
"Girl, you've got it bad", Lanie said teasingly.
Kate went on..."His arms are soooo strong and his shoulders are so broad and it is sexy as hell. His eyes are so blue and steady, when he looks in to my eyes I melt..."
On the other end of the line Lanie moved the phone away from her ear and turned to Esposito, "Kate and Castle are together now. She's mooning over him at the moment."
"And you were asking about his hands?"
"Never mind that, I like your hands and the things they do to me."
"Do you think we have time to...before she finishes talking..."
"Imma smack you! Later, baby...later."
Lanie put the phone back to her ear.
"...and he is so tall but we fit so perfectly together. When he wraps his arms around me I feel so safe and warm and loved. It is the best feeling in the world."
"Kate, I am so, so happy for you. You deserve to be this happy, to be loved. God knows you have been through enough. So, do you guys have a plan with all this talking?"
"We are going to go to the wedding together tomorrow...and then he says the universe will do its thing. Ok, I get that he is a writer and he has to be all poetic about things, but what does that mean?"
"You guys will make it up as you go along so long as you are on the same page right now."
"In that case what was the point of talking?"
"Saying everything out loud makes it real and there will be no wondering later on whether you jumped into a relationship too soon. So don't worry about it, it will all work out. I have to go now though, my man needs some attention here and we have a big day tomorrow. I will see you tomorrow at the wedding. Love you tons."
"You too. Bye."
"Bye."
Kate put down the phone and sighed happily again, for what she thought was the millionth time. Tomorrow, Rick and I will be at a romantic wedding...sweet dreams and a sweeter tomorrow.
"You hang up first...no you hang up... no you..."
