Infomercials
There was just something mind-numbingly good about infomercials. It's not like she ever intended to buy any of the crap they were selling, but she loved watching the infomercials. From the Nu-Wave Oven to the Ronco Knives, she loved any of the ones that had anything to do with food.
It was a guilty pleasure to lie in bed late at night, turn on the television, and find a terrible infomercial to fall asleep to. It was her favorite thing to do any a long day at the precinct. She never told anyone about her nightly ritual, but it really wasn't anyone's business.
She was now, however, met with a problem. Her growing relationship with Castle was beginning to affect her infomercial watching. They spent most nights at the loft and there, she didn't feel like she needed to watch the boring shows. But tonight, with Alexis staying at a friend's house, Castle would be staying at her place.
After they shared an intimate dinner and a silly movie in the living room, they moved into the bedroom. It was a rare night where they weren't going to be making love, but sleeping together had become the norm for them.
She went into the bathroom first and got ready for bed. Coming out of the bathroom she saw Castle already laying on the bed in his boxers surfing through the channels on the TV. He hopped off the bed, kissed her on her cheek, and made his way into the bathroom for his turn.
Crawling into her bed, she grabbed the remote and found one of her favorite infomercials. This was past of who she is, and she wanted to share everything with Castle. The light in the bathroom clicked off and the door opened. Castle shut it behind him and jumped onto the bed. She laughed heartily, but was truly nervous to share this with him.
Climbing under the blanket he pulled her close, kissing the top of her head. She burrowed into his chest, already regretting her decision to share this with him. He turned his attention the TV and made a noise of appreciation.
"Sweet!" he said. "I love the Magic Bullet Express. Turn it up!"
She smiled and snuggled closer. She knew she liked him for a reason.
End.
A.N.: This is dedicated to my own personal love of infomercials. I prefer watching any infomercial dealing with food. They make me happy. And I like looking at the food they make and scoffing at how that little machine can do that in 13 minutes!
