Castle BB FF Ch.22
TOM JONES
Hey guys sorry it took so long but I'm pretty busy.
Anyway here's the start of the little extra story. This wasn't my idea but my friend's idea and I lost a few bets so they have a right over what I write now. I warn you they like drama.
I don't own the song in here it's: I Loved Her First by Heartland.
I want to thank everyone who followed, favorited, or reviewed.
Thank you!
Enjoy!
"Uncle Jim, it's so great to see you!" Cassie said as Jim opened the door and got crushed in a hug.
Cassie was Jim's oldest niece at the age of 29 and was getting married the upcoming weekend. She had called her Uncle Jim and Aunt Johanna when she was having trouble finding a venue that would be able to fit both families. Luckily Rick had offered to let them use his beach house out in the Hamptons; well by house he meant his parents' old mansion.
So since then Rick had been a big part of the planning, so they were coming over to spend the night and talk tonight before they all go out to the Hamptons tomorrow to stay out there.
"Hi Cassie, hey Ron, come in. Jo, Cassie and Ron are here!" Jim said as he directed the last part to the kitchen.
Johanna came out smiling wiping her hands on her pants, "Jim be quiet they're still asleep. Hey guys, are you hungry?"
"No we're fine, thank you though. Where's little Katie?" Cassie said as she hugged Johanna.
"The kids are asleep in the living room. They did all their homework last night since they didn't want to be doing it up there. School is out this week and the next week the basketball playoffs start. They're a bit stressed", Johanna explained as she hugged Ron who just stepped in.
"By kids do you mean Rick and Kate? I would love to meet him face to face", Cassie said.
"Yeah, but I warn you he'll charm his way into your heart, you'll fall in love with him", Johanna said with a teasing wink as she them that way.
"Should I be worried?" Ron teased.
"Very worried, he's a looker", Johanna joked back as they stepped into the living room.
They laughed as they looked down at the two teens that were cuddled up on the couch; Kate was tucked into Rick's body as her head was rested on his chest as he had an arm around her waist and his hand interlocked with hers.
"Awe they're so cute together", Cassie said as she took a picture to tease her little cousin about later.
"You should see them when they're awake, they interact so great together", Johanna said.
Rick started stirring as if he sensed the attention on him. "What time is it?" He asked in a rough morning voice.
"It's about 3:30 sweetie, Cassie and Ron just got here. You can go back to sleep if you want", Johanna said in a sweet as his eyes fluttered open.
"No, no I'm good", Rick said as he moved to get up which caused Kate to sigh and wrap her arms around him tighter as she took a deep breath. "Hold on I'll just take her to her room, she deserves some more sleep." With that Rick moved so that he had an arm under her legs and under her back as he stood up. Kate just sighed and put her arms around his neck and her head on his shoulder before he strolled up the stairs to her room.
They watched him till he disappeared. "You're right he's hot. Katie got lucky", Cassie whispered to Johanna but loud enough for all of them to hear.
Jim laughed a bit as they heard the door upstairs close and Rick start coming down the steps. "She exhausted, she'll probably sleep for a few more hours. Hi you must be Cassie and Ron, it's a pleasure to meet both of you", Rick said as he shook both of their hands.
"Likewise Rick, we want to thank you for everything you're doing for us. We don't know how we can repay you", Ron said as they all took a seat in the living room.
"There's no need, you're part of the Beckett family and I'll help any Beckett out as if they were my own family", Rick said with a smile.
"Well if you ever need our help don't hesitate to ask. I mean you're lending out your house for us to use and your helping with our music", Cassie said. They had agreed that Rick would be the DJ for the first half of the night and the second half a cousin of Ron's would be doing the rest. Rick had also helped with all the song selections that were made.
"Speaking of music, have you decided of a song for the father-daughter dance?" Rick asked as he took out his phone.
"Not yet but we have a few in mind, why?" Cassie said.
"Well about a year ago I wrote a song for that very reason for a friend of mine but they went with a different song that went with their theme, but you guys can use it if you like it. I can play it for you guys right now if you want me to", Rick said as he strolled through his phone looking for it.
"We would love to hear it", Cassie said.
"Okay hold on I'm going to go grab my guitar out of Kate's room", Rick said as he ran up the stairs really quick.
"He's a musician?" Ron asked Johanna.
"He's quite gifted really, he knows almost every instrument I've heard of and he's amazing at every one of them but I've never heard him sing before", Johanna said as Rick started back towards the stairs.
"Okay it's called 'I Loved Her First', but I warn you I haven't sung in front of anyone for about 5 years so I might be a bit rusty", Rick said as he sat down and got in position to play his black guitar.
Look at the two of you dancing that way
Lost in the moment and each others face
So much in love your alone in this place
Like there's nobody else in the world
I was enough for her not long ago
I was her number one
She told me so
And she still means the world to me
Just so you know
So be careful when you hold my girl
Time changes everything
Life must go on
And I'm not gonna stand in your way
But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it still hard to give her away
I loved her first
How could that beautiful women with you
Be the same freckle face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairy tales to
And tucked into bed all those nights
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of time
But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But its still hard to give her away
I loved her first
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Someday you might know what I'm going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first
Rick smiled as he played the final cord and looked up at everyone. They all had shocked looks on their faces, because wow he was really good. Like superstar good, he had a voice that was low but not low at the same time and he could also go get those high notes with ease.
"Rick… your voice is… amazing!You could be famous with a voice like that! Why did you ever stop playing?!" Johanna said since she was the first to get her tongue untied.
"She right you're great, Rick!" Jim said causing Rick to blush as he put his guitar down.
"Thank you, you're too kind. So if you guys want I can have it recorded by the wedding, it will sound better when I throw in the other instruments soundtracks", Rick said as he ran a hand through his hair.
"We would be honored to have that song in our wedding thank you Rick, so much", Cassie said as she surprised Rick and reached over to hug him.
They all stopped what they were doing when they heard a door upstairs close and someone coming down the stairs, "Rick?"
"Hey beautiful, why aren't you sleeping?" Rick said as he stood up and met her at the bottom of the stairs. She automatically leaned into him.
"I couldn't sleep after you left, come back to bed you need to sleep to", Kate said sleepily.
"I would but your cousin Cassie and Ron are here", Rick said as he placed a kiss on her head.
"We'll be with them all week after this. Please come back to bed with me I won't sleep if you aren't with me", Kate said knowing he would do it for her.
"You play dirty, fine but at least say hi first", Rick said as he lead them to the living room.
"Hey Cassie, hi Ron", Kate said in between yawns.
Both of them waved before Cassie spoke, "Go sleep you two, we'll see you later."
Rick shot her a smile and just picked Kate up bridal style and took her to her room. He put her down first before he laid down next to her; she moved over to him and tucked her body into his as she kissed his neck.
"Goodnight", Rick said as he kissed her head.
"Night", Kate replied before they both fell asleep.
L-I-N-E-B-R-E-A-K-
They slept for about 3 more hours before Johanna went up and woke them up. It took them about 5 more minute to come down the stairs still rubbing the sleep out of their eyes.
"Why'd you wake us up?" Kate grumbled as she flopped down onto the couch.
"Well it's 6:30 pm already so we're going out for dinner", Jim said.
"Is Rick coming with us?" Kate asked as she leaned back into him after he sat down.
"Yes and Martha is going to pick Alexis up and join us", Johanna said.
"Cool, I'm going to go get ready", Rick said as he kissed Kate's head and stoop up.
"See ya in a bit Rick", Jim said as they waved to him.
He smiled back at them and opened the door.
"Wait", Kate called out suddenly awake. She jumped up and rushed over to him, "What no goodbye kiss?"
Rick smiled as he leaned down and sweetly kissed her on the lips. Kate was smiling as she teased him, "Ew! Don't forget to brush your teeth or I'm not kissing you again."
The adults laughed as Rick pouted before he sighed and pecked her on the cheek again before walking out the door.
Kate watched him till the door closed behind him she sighed and closed the door before walking back to the living room.
Cassie smiled as she watched her younger cousin watch Rick as he left with a dreamy smile on her face before she sighed and walked back to us.
"Katie's in love", Cassie said in a sing-song voice.
Kate went bright red as she loved down at her feet, "Shut up! I'm going up stairs to get ready."
We laughed as she bolted up the stairs still blushing as she slammed the door behind her.
About an hour later, 8 people were just walking into Remy's with a little girl running ahead to get the corner booth. But before she could get there two muscular arms wrapped around her.
"I don't think so young lady", Rick said as he picked her up.
"Why not?" Alexis whined since she was confused.
"Because what do you do before you eat?" Kate asked as she tickled Alexis' stomach causing the little girl to giggle.
"We wash our hands!" Alexis said as Rick put her down. This time she grabbed both teenagers' hand and dragged them to the bathroom.
"Alexis is so cute! Rick and Kate are so good with her", Cassie said as they all sat down.
"They have a lot of days when it's just the 3 of them doing different things together. This is actually where they come a lot, Alexis loves it here", Martha said as the three people in question started coming back.
"Lex!" Someone to the right of the table said.
The adults looked and saw one of the waitresses, who looked to be in her late twenties with the nametag Robin, with her arms wide open.
Alexis smiled as she ran at her and jumped into her arms for a hug, "Robin!"
"How's my favorite red head doing?" Robin said as she let go of Alexis and stood up.
"I'm great! I'm here with my family and Katie's family", Alexis said as she slid into the booth next to Martha.
"Is that so, well it's great to finally met my favorite customers' families. Hi I'm Robin", she said as she shook all of their hands.
"I'm Martha, Alexis' mom and Rick's aunt, this is Jim and Johanna Kate's parents, and Kate's cousins Ron and Cassie. It's lovely to meet you, Alexis talks about you a lot too", Martha said as Alexis beamed at Robin.
"Well she talks about you a lot too, now can I get your orders?" Robin said.
"Our usual", Rick and Kate said at the same time. They smiled at each other as they sat down with Rick next to Alexis and Kate on the end next to him.
Robin smiled at them as she took the rest of the adults' orders, "Okay I'll be right out with your drinks."
They thanked her then launched into a conversion about the upcoming week. They stayed there for about hour and a half before they finished their meal and split the check.
"I'll be over by 6:00 am tomorrow, so if we leave by 7:00 we should get there about 1:30 to 2ish in the afternoon", Rick said as he walked the Becketts to their door.
"Sounds good Rick, see ya in the morning", Johanna said as she gave him a hug. The remaining adults said goodnight to Rick till it was Rick and Kate on the porch.
"Our first free night up there we're going on a date", Rick said as he pecked her on the nose.
"I like the sound of that, what are we going to do?" Kate asked as she folded herself into his arms.
"That's for me to know and for you to find out", Rick said with a smirk.
"Are you sure I can't persuade you to tell me?" Kate said in a seductive voice as she planted kisses up and down his jaw before leaving a searching kiss on his lips.
Rick hummed happily but whimpered in protest when she pulled back far too soon for his liking. It took him a second to gather his thoughts before he talked, "You play dirty, but still my lips are sealed. Goodnight gorgeous."
Kate pouted before she smiled up at him, "Night handsome."
Rick smiled at her as he stole on more kiss before he pulled back and ran back to his house.
It was going to be a very good week indeed.
I'm working on the next one already so it should be done within the next week or so.
Please review I would love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks.
