Ok so kind of short again, I'm sorry, I just don't have too much time at the moment! Anyways, I hope you like it, please, please, please review, they make my day! I'll try to update sooner! Love you all, enjoy!
Still not working in Hollywood, still don't own Castle, still sad about that. Also, the dress described is kind of like one I saw on project runway, it's cuter than it sounds like, so that's what that's from!
"Girl, we were supposed to go out tonight, remember?"
Lanies voice came through the darkness, that, now in retrospect was not very dark Kate realized, seeing two lit lamps. "So why is it that you are not here getting ready? We," Lanie said with ferver, "Are going to find you a guy since you still refuse to give in to Castle. That way, when the set up I find you goes regretfully wrong, you might realize that all relationships except ones that are with Castle will, with certainty, fail." Lanie finished her speech smugly, with an air of "you know I'm right."
Kate just looked at her, heart still thumping, and then broke into a huge grin, and started to laugh.
"Ok..." Lanie looked at her friend, who was smiling like a mad man, and was now crying she was laughing so hard.
"What's going on Kate? Are you alright?"
Beckett continued to laugh, and when she finally stopped, with Lanie still looking at her like she was insane, said
"Ok, fine, I'm great, let's go. You can pick out my outfit; I don't feel like it, hey where are we even going by the way?"
"We're going to the Old Haunt, remember, we're meeting the boys and Castle? What is going on with you today, you seem really unaware of everything, which you know is totally not like you!"
"Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm just...kind of tired" she trailed off, Lanie raising her eyebrows, but didn't say anything more, and went off to Kate's bedroom, to pick out a dress for her friend.
Kate collapsed onto the couch, her body still shaking from the unexpectedness of the encounter and the laughing. She had forgotten that they had all made plans for that night, in celebration of Alexis's graduation... Or at least that was their excuse, seeing as Alexis wasn't even going to be there but they wanted to go out, and it worked for them.
"Hey Lanie," she called out, "If we're going out with the boys, how are we going to find me a new guy?"
"Oh don't worry, girl, l will find a way! Maybe we'll go off on our own later... Hmm..." Lanie trailed off, her head back in Beckett's closet.
"Well," Kate thought to herself, " maybe we'll figure out how to tell them tonight, but it might be fun to tease them first..."
Beckett pulled out her phone and texted Castle,
"Hey, tonight at the Old Haunt, we should pretend we're not together, but do things to drive them crazy...let's see how many times we can make them tell us how we just have to be together:)"
She quickly received a return text, "Oh yeah, bring it on!"
Beckett laughed again, and stuck her phone back in her pocket, just as Lanie came back, holding out to her a cute black dress, V-neck, tight at the waist, and then a circle skirt, with a open back, the edges of the back hinged with a slight triangle lace. She also held a long necklace, silver and black, and some killer shoes.
"Really Lanie?" Beckett raised her eyebrow, and Lanie smiled at her, " Hey you need to be sexy for Castle girl!"
"Oh fine, just give it to me and let's go!" Beckett said,faking a bad attitude in order to add more fun to the charade. As she slipped on the dress, she heard her phone ring, as she got one more text from Castle: "This is going to be so fun!"
"Yes," she thought, "this is going to be fun..."
