Chapter 2: Hope you like it

As we were walked to the shop Castle said 'Make sure you don't get anything too hot' 'What?' I was sooo confused
'If you pick out a swimsuit that you look totally hot in we will not be inconspicuous.'

'Wow Castle, I would have thought you would have wanted me to get really dressed up for this. After all I am going to be in a bathing suit.' I said seductively

'Ha ha, No we need to not draw that much attention.'

I went to the swim suits and picked out three. I tried one on. It was a teal bikini with no straps, but It was a little too 'showy'. The next one was a one piece with cut outs around the middle, dark purple, and really sexy, but I knew Castle wouldn't approve. The last one was cherry red. A halter top bikini, and modest enough that Castle wouldn't be upset, but hot enough that I would draw some attention, at least from Castle. Wait what why would I want attention from Castle, no no. It would draw some attention from some other hot guy. No NO that sounds like I'm saying Castle's a hot guy. Why are my thoughts so confusing!

Then I heard a knock on the dressing room door along with Castle's voice.
'Hey, let me see.'

'Why would I let you see?'

'Cause I have to approve of it before you buy it'

'You do?' I said affronted

'No, No. Kate just let me see'

I couldn't resist the Kate so I stepped out of the dressing room.
I knew I looked good but I wasn't expecting the reaction I got. His jaw dropped but then he analyzed it and I got self-conscious.
'That'll do' was all he said.

I paid for the swimsuit and we headed for the pool. Castle had gotten changed when I was buying this. We walked to the pool and surveyed the area. No one looked that interesting. The little kids were jumping and splashing, girls were lounging around. Men in the hot tub or playing with their kids in the water. I turned around and Castle was standing there. No shirt, just swim trunks. His shorts were white with green, blue, and black plaid stripes. He had a toned chest, ripped arms, and nice shoulders. I thought he must work out if he's just a writer. He then grinned at me and I was sort of confused when all of a sudden he came running at me. My cop instincts didn't work and he ended up grabbing me by the waist and jumping into the pool with me.

In a split second I decided to freak him out. He let go of me in the water and I allowed myself to float face up to the surface. I didn't move and when he surfaced he was laughing. Then he looked around for me and when he saw my 'lifeless' form I could see, through my eyelashes, the concern that spread across his features shortly followed by panic, and it made me almost smile. He was concerned for me. He came over and said. 'No, no, no Kate, not again, no you can't die again, no no KATE' while shaking me. Then I smiled, and opened my eyes. The concern turned to anger and when I smiled innocently to amusement.

'Kate Beckett don't you ever do that again'
'Yes sir'

He grabbed my by the waist again and dragged me around the pool, which started a splashing fight. We soon forgot about the mission. An hour later we were done playing around and had socialized with a few people. We were lounging in the pool when Castle looked over and said. It's five, we might want to go to dinner at the hotel tonight. I agreed and we left for our room.

I opened my suitcase and hung up my clothes. Then I realized I had no idea what the 'dress code' was. I walked over to the closed door leading to Castle's bedroom and knocked.

'Yes'

'How dressy is this?'

'Cocktail dressy'

'As in, what are you wearing?'

'Dress slacks, a button up, and a tie.'

'Ok thanks'

I went back to my room and picked out my dress. It was a silver draping sleeveless mid thigh length dress. I put my hair in a slightly messy bun and framed my face with a few extra pieces which i then curled. I then put on my mother's necklace, and a birthday gift I had gotten from Castle. A bracelet with my name and extraordinary in six languages

extraordinary-English

izvanredan-Croatian

extraordinaire-French

straordinario-Italian

extraordinario-Spanish

изванредан- serbian

And my silver heels that I got on a shopping trip with Lanie and Alexis. Then I walked out into the room that connected the bedrooms to find Castle waiting.

Castle's P.O.V

She walked out of her room and damn did she look good. She had her hair up and framing her face. Her mom's necklace, and a really hot dress that somehow also looked beautiful. It was silver and fit her frame well. I looked at the hand that had just gone to brush away a piece of hair and noticed she was wearing the bracelet I had given her. It took several minutes for me to say anything.

'I'll be right back'

I ran into my room and changed ties, prepared myself and opened the door again. She had a puzzled look on her face and then saw I had switched from a black tie to a silver tie to match her. She smiled and I lead her out the room down to the restaurant.

That's it for chapter 2 kinda short sorry.
