Spending time with Castle and Alexis
My Aunt Kate was on a major case and Castle was not allowed to be on it because of some kind of stipulation with the FBI. Anyway, I'm here at Castle's place and going to be for at least two days. I'm not complaining Castle is awesome and we have so much fun together. Alexis was here to and we were playing some video games on the television.
After about four hours of video games it was time for dinner.
"Okay guys, Chinese, Pizza, or Mexican?" Castle asked.
"Well, not Mexican. Remember the last time we had Mexican?" Alexis said.
"Ugh, yeah. Two days of practically living in the bathroom," he said.
They both made sounds of disgust and shook their head.
"All right, but since Emily is our guest what do you want?" Castle asked.
"Pizza," I said.
"Okay, Pizza it is. What do we want on?" he asked.
"Sausage," Alexis said.
"Okay, onions?" he asked.
"Sure," Alexis said.
"How about you mini Beckett. Sound good?" he asked me.
"Yeah, sounds great," I said.
He nodded his head and went to order the Pizza. It took about fifteen minutes to arrive and we all dug in. We each had two pieces of pizza and then Alexis and I shared one, while Castle ate another whole piece. After Dinner we were all stuffed and lounged around in the living room.
We watched movies and talked about certain things. It was great hanging out it made me feel a part of the family. If my mama was still alive I'd probably home alone right now eating left over ramen noodles and watching whatever channel are sucky TV could pick up.
"Hey Emily, do you want to play laser tag with us?" Alexis asked after we finally digested our food.
"You have laser tag?" I asked surprised.
"Yeah, it's really cool. Alexis and I have been doing it for years now. We're trying to get to 1000 points to win entirely," Castle said.
"Awesome I'd love too. If it's okay," I said.
"Of course it's okay. I have an extra vest and gun. Plus, you're like family, it be an honor to play with you mini Beckett," he said.
"Cool, thanks Castle," I said.
"No problem," he said.
"I'll go get the stuff," Alexis said.
Next thing you know we're going into our thirty minute mark of playing laser tag. The vest is a little big on me, but not too bad. I was currently in the living room sneaking around the couch. I tried to incorporate some police tactics to set up my attack on my "enemies".
I stayed low and listened closely to any weird sound around my area. I kept my ears and eyes open and made sure I had a clear vision of everything. I adjusted my laser tag glasses because they were kind of crooked and I heard a small noise. I perked up and tried to hear where it was coming from.
It seemed like it was around the corner, so I readied myself to take action. I slowly creeped over to the area and saw Castle looking around, determining his next move. I quickly readied my laser gun and jumped out of my hiding spot. I shot him and his vest buzzed with a laser sound.
"Aww man," Castle said slumping his shoulders.
Then out of nowhere my vest buzzed with the same sound and I saw Alexis come out from behind Castles office door.
"Nice one," I said.
"Thank you," she said.
Castle looked over at the clock and saw it was almost 11:00pm.
"Oh geez, I didn't know it was that late and it's a school night. If your aunt found out, she'd kill me," Castle said.
"She probably would," Alexis and I said in unison.
We laughed at that and we all took off our laser tag equipment. I was sleeping in Alexis's room, in my small pink sleeping bag and said, "Alexis?"
"Yeah," she said.
"I like it here, you guys are fun and nice," I said.
"Yeah, but sometimes it can get boring after a while. Having fun is nice and all, but all the time is not really good," she said.
"Yeah I know, but it's better than when I used to live with my mama," I said.
"Was it really that bad?" she asked.
"Mostly, yeah. Drug dealers everywhere and some bringing us my mama's fix for the week. Barely got any cable and it was hard to get out of the house sometimes. My mama rarely hit me, but sometimes her boyfriends would. For the most part, I'm glad I'm out of there and I get to see what a real family is," I said.
"I'm sorry, Emily. I'm glad you're here too. It's like I have a little sister, and just know you can come to me whenever you want, okay?" she said.
"Okay, thank you Alexis," I said.
"No problem. Get some sleep, school tomorrow," she said.
"Night, Alexis," I said.
"Night, Emily," she said.
We got some sleep and the next day came and went quickly. I had a boring day at school and Alexis helped me with my homework. Afterword while castle was still writing his next story, I let Alexis braid my hair. It was fun actually doing some kind of girlish things and just having a "sister" bonding time.
Right after having some dinner my aunt Kate came to pick me up. The whole way home I couldn't help but spill every detail about the two days I had with Alexis and Castle. My aunt was smiling the whole time I rambled on about my time at their place. When we got home my aunt said that maybe sometimes I could spend time over their just to have some fun and I liked that suggestion more than anything.
When I went to bed last night I couldn't stop thinking about all the fun I had and that maybe my life is really looking up from how it was a while ago.
