"Are we ready to go?" I yell up stairs.
"Yeah, mom will be down in a minute she lost a shoe." Alexis says laughing as she comes down the stairs.
"You look beautiful pumpkin." I tell her as I spin her around.
"Isn't she?" I hear Kate's voice behind me.
I turn and all the air in my lungs leaves my chest. The dress fit her to perfection and the color against her skin and her dark hair pulled to the side leaving one of her shoulders bare. "Wow, you look… wow."
"Wow? Castle, for a writer your adjectives are very plane." Kate teases.
"Well that's what you get for looking so extraordinary." I walk towards her and spin her like I did Alexis. Her laugh fills my ear as I pull her to my chest. "I love you."
"I love you too." She says in a light laugh and its music to my ears.
"Let's go guys I'm hungry." Alexis' voice breaks our bubble and we head out.

We arrive at a little Italian restaurant. I step out and I see Dad pout because Kate also got out before he could get around opening it for her. I smile and take Kate's hand she smiles at her and dad puts his hand on her back as we enter the restaurant.
"Hello do you have a reservation?" The women asked from behind the counter.
"Yes, Castle." Dad said and I can see the woman, whose name tag read Amy, stand up straighter and push her chest out. I roll my eyes and look up at Kate.
"Yes for three?" she asks her voice changing to a flirty annoying sound.
I see Kate roll her eyes and I laugh and hug her side. She looks down and smiles at me. "I hate when they do that."
"Me too." She says and puts her hand on my shoulder.
"Follow me please." The woman says and Dad turns to us and smiles. He wraps his arm around Kate and pocks me in the side.
"Dad!" I hit his hand.
He goes to do it again, but Kate takes his hand and entwines their fingers and lays it on her hip. She looks over to me and winks. The waitress stops at a little table off to the side. "Can I sit with mom?" I ask.
"Sure." Dad sits and Kate sits across from him and I sit next to her. The waitress takes our drink order and leaves.
"Are you nervous from your exams this week?" Kate asks.
"No, not really could you help me with my Italian tomorrow night?" I ask her.
"Yes, of course." She says.
"I'm in trouble if you become fluent in Italian."
"How so?" Kate asks.
"You two could talk about me or plan revenge on me and I wouldn't even know what you two are saying which equals trouble." Dad says in an over exaggeration way
"For you." Kate teases. Dad pouts. "You're too easy Rick." She smiles and reaches for his hand on the table.
The waitress interrupts and Kate pulls her hand from Dad's. she places our drinks on the table and looks between us. "Do you need a few more minutes?" she asks her voice still annoying.
"Oh… yes please, we haven't even looked at menus yet." Kate says and smiles at the waitress.
"Of course." She says in fake politeness before she walks away.
"She obviously doesn't like us." Dad says and Kate and I look at each other and roll our eyes. "What?" he asks.
"It's not all of us she doesn't like its Kate." I tell him and Kate nods.
"What?" Dad says looking at Kate.
"She doesn't like me because I'm with you. I bet she was hoping she could get you alone tonight." Kate says teasing.
"Really?" Dad asks looking at me.
"She was trying to flirt with you when we came in, but you were too busy checking mom out." I laugh as he looks at Kate and I see Kate with an eyebrow raised at Dad.
"Well I couldn't help it." He tells Kate who smiles before she lets a small laugh leave her lips.
"You two are ridiculous." I tell them. They both turn to me and shrug.

The rest of dinner was nice and I caught Rick staring every once in a while. Alexis was talking about school and our shopping trip. Our table was cleared and the waitress came and gave Rick the bill. I tried to take it to see how much it was, but Rick already had it.
"Kate, I'm paying so stop trying to see it. This dinner was for you two anyways so stop it." Rick says and I lean back in my chair with a huff. "Oh is Katie upset?" Rick said in a baby voice.
"Nope." I tell him and he smiles.
"Good." He takes out his credit card and the waitress is there to take it.
She brings it back and gives Rick the receipt and motions with her hands to call him. "I'm… flattered." He stumbles out. "But I'm happy with the company I have thanks." He says rather irritated.
"Right." The waitress says and winks at Rick before she walks away as we all get up and leave.
"What a bitch." Alexis says as soon as we are out of the restaurant.
"Alexis Castle!" I say shocked at hearing the word come from her mouth.
"oops." She says putting her hand over her mouth. "Sorry, but she is I mean couldn't she see we were there as a family and that you two are obviously together. She really was a b-i-t-c-h." She said spelling out the word.
"She was, but that doesn't mean we should say that." I tell her.
"I guess; sorry." She says again.
"Its fine I was just surprised to hear the word bitch come out of your mouth." I tell her.
She laughs and turns to Rick. "I don't normally use it, but every once in awhile it'll slip out." She says as she turns to me again.
"You'll probably be surprised what can come out of her mouth sometimes." Rick says. "But she's normally doesn't say things like that." He reassures.
"Yeah, but you'll find out soon enough, since you are moving in. I can't wait Saturday we are going to your place early so we can get everything packed ad hopefully moved in." Alexis says excitement all over her voice.
