It had taken two days for little Gypsy to settle into her new home. Rick was so excited about the whole thing; Kate would often find him playing with Gypsy, or asleep with her on his lap on the couch. Kate couldn't decide who was more adorable, Rick or the dog. Kate's relationship with Alexis had also improved, which Kate was thrilled about. Last night when Rick was at a meeting Kate and Alexis had some real bonding time over a movie then some girl time. Kate really liked Alexis and thought she was a great teen, Rick was really lucky to have her. Kate could remember she put her parents through absolute hell when she was a teenager.
As Kate was Kate was putting on her make up Gypsy came scurrying into the bedroom, all hyped up from Rick throwing a ball around for her. "Hey Gypsy." Kate cooed, reaching down to pet the little pup.
Gypsy rolled onto her back and got Kate to tickle her belly. "Look at you Miss Gypsy, already at home and it's only been two days." Kate laughed as Gypsy tried to scramble up Kate's leg to lick her face. "Oh Gypsy, your daddy might let you get away with licking his face. But I won't you are going to smudge my entire make up!"
Gypsy just smiled and rolled around on the floor. "Who is the cutest little puppy? Gypsy is, yes that's right." Kate cooed.
Kate hadn't realised that Rick had been standing in the door frame for quite some time. She looked up and saw him. "Richard Castle, you know it is rude to stare!" Kate let out.
"So I am Gypsy's daddy? Are you the mummy by any chance?" Rick asked completely ignoring Kate's previous comment.
"Well, maybe if you didn't listen into other peoples conversations you wouldn't find yourself wondering, now would you Rick?" Kate teased, leaning in to kiss Rick softly on the lips.
Rick returned Kate's kiss, and before they knew it they were lying on top of each other on the bedroom floor. Somehow Rick's top had come off and Rick's hands were right up Kate's top. "Rick, have to stop." Kate puffed.
"But why?" Rick whined, while kissing down Kate's neck.
"Well, I don't want Gypsy seeing us do this, she will be scared and my ankle is still tender. And still no sex." Kate finished smoothing down her top and sitting up.
Rick just moaned. "Anyway it will be worth it." Kate said with a sultry tone in her voice, "I will give you the best night of your life, Richard Castle."
"Oh, Kate!" Rick complained sitting up and putting his top back on. "Anyway I came in here to say I have a meeting I have to go to now. Will you be okay here?"
"Yes I'll be fine. Besides its Lanie's day off so I will call her and see if she wants to have a catch up." Kate replied.
"Okay, take care." Rick said kissing the top of Kate's head as he got and then gave Gypsy a pat on her head.
"Bye babe." Kate replied.
Rick's eyes nearly fell out of his socket he walked back into the bedroom. "Ricky, your car is that way." Kate said physically turning Rick around. "Have a nice day!" She called as Rick left.
Kate then proceeded to grab her phone and text Lanie. Twenty minutes later Lanie was there. "Wow, how come I am only just finding out now that you are staying with Rick Castle?" Lanie cried hugging Kate.
"Hello to you too Lanie, and if you must know the elevator in my apartment is broken and I have to climb stairs and Rick said I could stay here."
"I'm sure the elevator is fixed by now." Lanie muttered.
"Lanie!"
"So where is writer boy anyway?"
"He is at a meeting and its writer man Lanie, not writer boy."
"Oh, how did you learn that?" Lanie laughed as Kate's face turned bright red.
"Very funny Lanie," Kate replied sarcastically. "How is the wedding planning going?"
"Pretty good, and how would you like to be my Maid of Honour?"
"Oh my gosh, I'd love to!" Kate squealed, hugging Lanie into a hug.
"I thought you would like that. How about we go wedding dress shopping now? I have a pretty clear idea of what I want to wear."
"Perfect idea," Kate said smiling as she got up and grabbed her purse, luckily she didn't have to use crutches for her ankle anymore.
…..
After a couple of hours Lanie had picked out the perfect dress and had brought it but asked them to keep it at the shop. "I wouldn't want Javi finding it anywhere." Lanie explained.
After that Kate and Lanie went to Starbucks to grab a drink. "Oh, I have a great idea!" Lanie grinned.
"Uh oh, I am not going to like this am I?" Kate asked.
"Oh you will believe me, and I'm sure our second halves will enjoy it too." Lanie started.
"Lanie, are you suggesting what I think you are?"
"Oh yes, so we go to Victoria's Secret and buy a couple of pieces." Lanie finished.
"I don't know, me and Rick aren't having sex yet." Kate said, a little worried.
"Well, save it for when you do! Come on it will be great and Javi and Rick will love it. Please Kate?" Lanie begged.
"Oh fine, but Lanie Parish don't ever say again I never do anything for you!"
"Yay!" Lanie shouted triumphantly, "Come on, let's go!" She said pulling Kate up and hurrying out of Starbucks.
"You will thank me for this someday." Lanie cried.
"I am so going to regret this." Kate muttered.
They finally reached the store; Kate had never been inside before and she was overwhelmed by racks and racks of camisoles, briefs, naughty bras, everything. Rick would be in heaven here. Kate thought to herself. "Come on Kate! Let's choose." Lanie said practically bouncing with excitement.
Kate began to sift through the racks of lingerie; she wanted something that would make her feel sexy. But what she really wanted too was something to cover the scar on her chest. She didn't want Rick to make a huge deal of it in bed. Kate selected a satin blue camisole that laced up at the front; it also had a matching satin blue thong, covered with black lace. This is perfect. Katethought to herself as she headed towards the changing rooms, she found a very excited Lanie along the way who was holding about three different outfits. They had changing rooms next to each other. Kate took off her top and plain old bra and replaced it with the silky blue number; Kate laced it up at the front. It fitted so perfectly, it was like a glove. Kate was besotted. She was secretly glad Lanie had dragged her here.
The best part was it managed to hide most of her scar too, only a little of the scar peeked out over the top. Kate didn't mind, she felt like a goddess. Rick was going to be the happiest man alive. Kate suddenly had an idea as she was taking the camisole off; she knew what she would do for Rick's birthday. She would bring him here and let him choose some kinky numbers for her to try on and buy. Perfect. Kate smiled as she walked out of the changing room. What a show Rick was going to get.
When Lanie finally came out of her changing room the grin was evident on her face too. The two walked over to the checkout together. "I told you you'd thank me for this." Lanie said.
"Fine, thank you Lanie," Kate said.
After Kate and Lanie had paid they both headed their separate to go home. It got Kate thinking, she was lucky to have someone like Lanie as a best friend, she certainly is an amazing woman. Lanie had some sort of super power that managed to convince Kate to do things she usually wouldn't do and then turn out that Kate would really enjoy it. It was really rare to find someone like Lanie as a friend.
Then Kate thought about how lucky she was to have Rick, he really was the perfect partner; he was sweet, romantic, adorable and so great to Kate. Kate smiled to herself as she thought of this, after all she had been through she finally had some good luck.
When Kate returned to Rick's she made sure that Martha or Alexis wouldn't see the name on her bag. Luckily they weren't home, but Rick was. He was on the ground playing fetch with Gypsy and when Kate burst through the door she nearly tripped over them. "Hey hun how was it with Lanie?" Rick asked looking up.
"It was great, we went wedding dress shopping for her then we did some more shopping." Kate replied.
"Well that's good, what did you buy? Something for the date we are going on soon?"
"Oh yes, I am sure you will love it." Kate replied, trying to hide the name on the bag.
Unfortunately Rick saw it, "Katherine Beckett, is that a bag from Victoria's Secret?" He asked, his eyes going really wide.
"Yes it is." Kate said in a sultry tone.
"Wow, this is going to be great!" Rick let out, he looked so excited.
"Rick, what made you think that I would show you this?" Kate questioned.
Rick's expression suddenly changed. Kate laughed, "Just kidding with you!"
"You had me worried, so when will I get to see this? How about a fashion show of it right now?" Rick asked, standing up and wrapping his arms around Kate.
"Oh no, not now I will save this for a special occasion. Besides my ankle is still giving me a little grief, but don't worry you won't be disappointed Rick." Kate replied as she walked towards the bedroom.
"Wow, just like my fantasies." Rick moaned.
"I always knew you had fantasies about me!" Kate cried, "But as I said you won't be disappointed, big Rick."
Rick nearly fell over at this comment. "Now Rick, will you excuse me while I hide this somewhere." Kate laughed as she left Rick still standing in the centre of the room in shock.
I hope you all enjoyed this! I loved writing this Please review.
