AN:I hope, you're still with me...one day left and then the huge chapter with the wedding day!-)
Thanks to wendykw for telling me that I invented a new term: savory sister. Copyrighted now ;-)
(one day to go)
"Detective Beckett, can I have a word?"
"Sir?"
"In my office."
Beckett closed the door behind her, worried.
"Are you sure?"
Captain Gates held up an envelope.
"If it was just an accident, or politeness you can recline now."
"Sir, I don't think, I understand."
"A wedding is a place where some...I say people tend to act out of their unsual good behavior. A behaviour their boss shouldn't see."
Beckett still said nothing, although the understanding dawned that Gates was afraid to mix up personal and business. And the invitation to the Beckett-Castle-wedding surely did that.
"It was not an accident, Sir, and I believe that all of Castle's and my guests know how to behave."
Gates stared at her, but she didn't bugde.
Finally the captain caved.
"Good, I hope so too. I suggest you pack your things and head home now. You shouldn't stay up all night doing the final preperations."
Beckett left the office, furrowing a brow and walking past Castle to her desk.
"What was that all about?"
"I don't know," she said slowly. "Either she doesn't want to come to our wedding or she's afraid Espo will drink himself under the table."
"So? What did you do?"
"I told her we knew how to behave and she is still invited."
"Esposito is no alcoholic, but if someone drinks too much, you bouquet-whip them."
"Bouquet-whip?"
"Yeah, you know like pistol-whip, only with your bouquet."
"Are you saying that flowers are dangerous?" She smirked.
"No, what I'm saying is that you are- even in a white dress and armed with nothing but flowers."
"Aw, that is actually one of the sweetest compliments you ever made."
"Beckett! Castle! No PDA in the precinct!"
Both mumbled an apology as Beckett took her arms from around Castle's neck and he straightened the base of her blouse.
