This one was too good to not write. I love this song, and this band, and couldn't avoid the temptation to write it. Since this is the Valentine's week chapter (2/17/11) I figured this would be kinda awesome. What's better is that the kids who wrote this song went to my school's sister school. They grew up in the same town I do, and I love how awesome they are, and how I'm going to all the same places they did when they were in High School! They really are proof that you can make it in this town! Just follow your dreams! Well, without further adieu, I now present to you...
Here Comes Trouble- Honor Society
Oh, G-d, here comes trouble, Rick thought as she approached the table.
It was Valentine's Day, or night, I guess you could say, and he had been waiting at the restaurant he had reserved a table at for twenty minutes already. It wasn't like her to be late, especially not tonight, and he was beginning to get worried. They had decided to meet instead of him picking her up because she had some paperwork to get done at the precinct. Kate, where on earth are you?
Then he saw her, asking the Maitre'D where her date was waiting. As she began walking to the table, his mouth dropped wide open. It took all his self-control to not grab her hand before she even got to the table, turn her around, and rush them back to the Loft. She was, in his mind, smoking from her head to her feet. Her hair was done in a way he'd never seen on anyone. She had on a skin-tight, short, red dress, cut down to there, that practically made his mouth water. And with the addition of matching red stilettos, her legs looked a mile long. All the men's heads turned to stare at her, and she knew it. He knew he was gonna have to be careful tonight to not let certain parts of his anatomy get the best of him.
She saw the look he had on his face, and she knew exactly what she was doing to him. She makes it look so easy, he thought bitterly, riling me up like this. She smiled as she sat down. "Hey Rick," she greeted. "Sorry I'm late. This," she gestured to her appearance, "Took a bit longer than I thought."
"It was well worth the wait. You look incredible, way better than me."
"I don't think you look that bad," she said seductively, grabbing his hand, just as the waiter came over to take their drink orders. Rick ordered the most alcohol-heavy thing he could get that was still classy. He was gonna need it tonight. She was like a pistol, and she was pointed straight at him. She was bringing the heat tonight, and he knew he was a very lucky man to have her. He was the envy of every other guy in the place. She only had eyes for him, and it was going to be a long night.
He loved how she was like a double agent in heels; How she could switch from being the serious cop to a sexy vixen in a matter of minutes. To him, she was lethal, but she had a license to kill. She could have him any time she wanted. Kate was on an entirely different level than any other women he had ever dated. As a matter of fact, she was totally out of his league. Kate was a masterpiece; All of her imperfections made her perfect, right down to the little mole on her left cheek that he loved.
He had been lost in thought for a moment before he realized Kate was still touching him. She is seriously trying to kill me, he thought as he saw the seductive smile that was plastered on her face. She was having wayyy too much fun with this. Their drinks arrived, and he took the opportunity to slip his hand out of hers, so he could take a drink, a deep breath, and maybe get his act together a little bit. You're Rick Castle, his mind chided him. Show her how it's done.
"So, Miss Kate," he began, "How was your day? Did you miss me?"
"I got a lot of work done."
"So?"
"I can't usually accomplish that with you around."
"Oh. So I'll take that as a no…" He put on his mock 'hurt' expression.
She softened a bit, letting go of a bit of the fire that they had been playing with, even though she knew he was joking. It was after all, Valentine's Day, and he set up this lovely dinner…she at least owed him that. She knew she could be a heart breaker sometimes, and this was definitely one relationship she didn't want to let go. "Aww, come on Castle. You know I missed you. You've taught me- maybe a better word would be forced me- to realize that, well, silence can be boring."
He smiled his 100-watt grin at her. "I have taught you well, grasshopper," he said, bowing his head to her.
"Too bad I like boring." She laughed as his face fell. Sometimes she's a razor, and oh, how she cuts me deep, he sighed.
"You weren't saying that last night," he mumbled, dejected.
"Oh, Rick, you know I'm just teasing," she said, taking his hand once again. Even that small touch was able to get him all worked up. He saw a hint of a smirk flit across her face. I've got to stop letting her know what she does to me…Oh, but I love how she makes me feel. Like a teenager, he had butterflies in his stomach. Only one very special NYPD Detective could do that to him.
An hour later, after their dinner had come and gone, he had paid the bill and they were ready to leave. She picked up her jacket and slung it over her arm, since it was an unusual 63 degrees in New York that evening. He just sat there, still stunned speechless by that gorgeous dress (I know, Richard Castle, speechless? Never). "You coming, Castle?" she asked, and with that, she flipped her hair over her shoulder and headed towards the exit. G-d, she was the baddest girl he'd ever seen (which was more than okay, now that they were heading home). Seeing the look she threw back over her shoulder, he quickly regained his composure (or lack thereof) and chased after her. He reached her just in time to hold the door open for her. "Thanks, Rick," she whispered in his ear on her way out. He rolled his eyes, wondering, How could something that's so wrong be exactly what I need?
And the door slammed shut. Here comes trouble…
Well? I love writing, since everything I post is absolutely the best it can be, at least in my mind. I thought this was a great little chapter :) If any of you are interested, check out my NCIS story "Open Up Your Eyes." I worked really hard on it and it only has one review :( Please review! Thank You! And I truly hope that maybe you're finding some new favorite songs via this series!
