What was she going to do?
She couldn't call Castle, and tell him not to come, because Tom took her phone away, so no one couldn't disturb her, since she was 'sick'.
Only thing to do is wait for Castle arrive, and then tell him that he could leave, or hide, until she gets Tom out of her place. And she didn't want to disappoint Castle, she chose for option two; get Tom out of here. She kind of felt bad for doing this to him.
She walked up to Tom, who was sitting on the couch.
As she played being sick, she slowly moved her hands, legs, coughed couple of times.
"Tom, I think you should go, you wouldn't want to get sick too," she offered, as she coughed.
He laughed, "Oh, don't be silly, what a sickness can do to a man?" he said.
Her expression stayed same; no smile. She knew that if Castle could've heard this, he'd be probably laughing at him.
"Ummmm," she drawled, and looked everything but him.
"Alright," he said slowly. She thought that he was going now.
"I'm going to set up a bath for you," he said, as he stood up, headed to bathroom.
Why would he do that?
She sighed quietly, and put her hand on her cheek, which also covered her mouth. There was a quiet know on the doorr, luckily quiet. She waited for a moment, to see if Tom heard this. No noise came from that direction. She walked up to the door quietly, constantly checked to the bathroom. As she opened up the door, she smiled, when she saw Castle there. She he put a finger on her mouth, letting him know, that he must me quiet.
"Hey, Castle. I'm having a problem right now," she whispered.
His eyes widened, "What?" he asked back, as he put down a white bag.
"What's the problem?" He questioned.
She looked over her shoulder, and then back to Castle, "Tom,"
Castle frowned for respond.
"He thinks I'm sick,"
Castle wanted to burst out laughing, and he was going to, but then he saw Beckett was frowning at him, and pushed his lips together.
She nodded, as she grinned, "You have to wait downstairs, or around the corner, because I'm trying to get him out of here," she said, as she started to close the door.
"Wait," he whispered, and looked over Beckett's shoulder, and saw a shadow, "He's coming," he said quickly, took the bag, and disappeared.
Beckett squinted her eyes, "Wha-?" She said, and closed the door.
"Kate, who was there?" Tom asked curiosly, and put her phone on table.
Her eyes widened, and tried to make up with a lie.
"I thought I heard a knock, but I was wrong," she drawled her words.
He nodded slowly, "And the bath's ready, I guess I'll just go now," he smiled, and stepped up to Kate, as he pulled her into a hug.
"Okay," she muttered, and pulled herself away from the hug, "Night," she said, and led him to the door.
"Night, Kate," he said, opened the door, and stepped outside.
He was gone, and she was relieved. All went by no problems. Great.
She walked to the door, opened it, took some steps outside, "Castle," she called out, not too loudly.
As she was going to call him out once more, she heard some steps, and Castle appeared again. Both had a smile on their faces.
He walked in front of her, "Clear?" he asked, as he leaned to the side of door.
She chuckled, "Yeah," she said, and stepped out of his way, and closed the door.
He landed the bag in the kitchen, "Nice place,"
Beckett walked to him, "Thanks," she replied, and smiled.
She opened the bag, "Chinese, huh? Oh, and wine," Both laughed.
She took the bottle of wine to her hands, and pushed it aginst Castle's chest, as he lost his balance, "Hey," he whined. She smiled slyly, his hand brushed gently over her hand, he grabbed the bottle, and she let got of it.
"You," she pointed at him, "Open this bottle, and take it to the livingroom," she demanded, not bossily.
Castle nodded, and started to do things. She took the food, and carried it to the livingroom. She was wearing black thick thights, and black long knitted sweater.
Soon, they both were sitting on her couch, holding a glass of wine.
"To our first case," Kate said a toast, as they both smiled.
He nodded, and both took a sip.
She opened up the package of food; spaghetti. She took a mouthful.
As she swallowed it, and looked at Castle, who was gazing at her, "You don't want to eat?" She questioned.
He shook his head, "Not yet,"
"Oh, great, 'cause I'm starving," she said, and took another mouthful. He laughed.
He looked worriedly at the table, "Oh, Beckett?"
She had spaghetti in her mouth, so she couldn't answer, she just nodded.
He checked out her mouth, "You have a worm out of your mouth," he said quickly. She frowned a little, and realized that she had a little spaghetti out of her mouth. She quickly sucked the food in, and swallowed.
"Thanks," she laughed.
He nodded, "You must have anything else to drink, because," he drawled, and pointed at the empty wine-bottle, "It's empty,"
She leaned closer to him, but not too close, and looked deeply in his blue sparkly eyes, "Why do we have to drink anyways?" she questioned, as she bit her bottom lip.
He squinted his eyes, "Is this a trick question?" he asked.
She looked past him, and so did he. "There must be still some tequila," she said, stood up, "I'm going to get the tequila shot glasses, and lime."
He grinned slyly. He thought Beckett was a calmful person, but seems he's wrong.
She was laughing madly with him. Something he said, must had been hilarious. The tequila bottle was also empty, there was a mess on the table.
They both were tired, and Castle couldn't go home like this. He was a mess.
She stopped laughing for a moment, "Castle, I want to go to sleep," she said, as her eyes were almost closed.
He nodded, "Me too." He laughed, and yawned.
She rested her head on his lap, and closed her eyes. He took a blanket from the floor, and pulled it over her.
"Night, Kate," he said, and rested his hands on her stomach.
"Night, Castle," she said, and smiled.
Didn't take too long, when they both were asleep.
Castle woke up first. His head was aching badly, and he didn't also feel too good. He squeesed his head, just to get rid of the ache.
He blinked for couple of times, but still wasn't complete clear picture. Since Kate was sleeping on his lap comfily, he didn't want to wake her. She looked still gorgeus while she was asleep. He almost fell asleep again, when there was a knock on the door. His eyes were now wide opened. He shook gently Kate for couple of times, she didn't bother to open her eyes, "Go back to sleep, Castle," she mumbled quietly. He realized that she wouldn't wake up.
Now he was in trouble.
It was really fun writing it. I had several thoughts, that how to do the Tom and Beckett part, and this is how the whole chapter turned out. I hope you guys like it, and next chapter probably tomorrow, since it's weekend, and I like writing this story. Night y'all :)
