Hey guys, hope your enjoying the Olympics. Here we go Alexis asking Kate to go shopping with her and Lanie. Thanks for all the reviews and for following my story when I woke up this morning it really made me smile.
"Go and ask her now." Lanie ordered Alexis. Castle and Kate had just been down to autopsy to receive an autopsy report and were now on their way back to the precinct.
"Fine." Alexis said running off after Kate.
"Hi, um Kate." Alexis said after a mental argument of what she should call her.
"Oh, hi Alexis."
"I well; Lanie and I were wondering if you wanted to um go shopping with us for a costume for dad's party."
"Um... yer Sure. When are you going?"
"We're thinking about going Saturday morning."
"Yes, that sounds great, thanks for inviting me."Kate said.
"Cool, so see you then."
"I know, zombies." Castle's voice drifted around the corner interrupting the moment.
Kate rolled her eyes and followed the voice. "Castle it was Zombies last time." Kate told him.
"Even more of a reason to suspect them, oh I know they were CIA Zombies."
"So..." Lanie said with a cheeky smile. "How was it?"
"She's coming."
"Good girl, now, asking her wasn't that bad. Was it?" Lanie said patronizingly. Alexis just rolled her eyes in reply. "You know you've picked that up from her."
"Picked what up?"
"The eye rolling."
"I haven't, lots of people roll their eyes."
"ummhmm keep telling yourself that girl."
Here we go second half of the chapter. Castles apartment.
"How's the case going?" Alexis asked he dad.
"Well, it wasn't zombies." Castle said in disappointment "or the CIA, but I'm still holding out hope it's the FBI. Anyway how was your day?"
"Um... Ok." Alexis said thinking back to the awkwardness of asking Kate to go shopping.
"Why only ok?"
"No it was good actually. Are you going to get that?" Alexis asked pointing to his iphone.
"Ok yer."
"Hello, do you have another lead?" Castle asked his phone.
"No actually I wanted to ask Alexis something." Kate said on the other end.
"Ok well here she is." Castle said curiously.
"Hi, Alexis its Kate."
"Hi Kate."
"Um... I just wandered if you would like to meet me at my place on Saturday."
"Yer, that sounds good."
"Ok well see you then, bye"
"Bye."
"What did she speak to you about?" Castle interrupted before she properly hung up the phone.
"Nothing we're just going shopping on Saturday for your Olympic party."
"and you didn't tell me about it."
"Sorry dad it's a girlie shopping trip."
"I can be a girl." He said holding 2 small parts of his hair up in mock bunches.
"Girls dad, not cross dressers."
Meanwhile Lanie is at Kate's apartment...
"Is that Castle?" Lanie asked as Kate hung up the phone.
"I guess." Kate replied. "Lanie is it a bit weird that Alexis invited me to go shopping." Lanie just ignored her and took a long sip of her wine. "Did you put her up to this?"
"Maybe."
"Why?"
"Cause you and Castle are sleeping together." She said quickly into her wine glass.
"What?"
"Girl, everyone knows. You weren't exactly great at hiding the fact."
"What do you mean everyone knows, not that I'm admitting it."
"Well, we saw the signs."
"What signs?"
"The way you smell of Cherries, the way you smile every time your hands brush together and the way you just seem happier."
"Am I really that obvious?"
"Kind of."
And let's not forget Ryan and Esposito...
"This is going to take forever." Ryan said looking down at the miles of telephone records left to go through. It had long gone eleven and the pair just wanted to get home.
"I know bro" Esposito agreed. "Lanie convinced Beckle got together."
"Huh they are aren't they? And I thought it was Caskett now?"
"What you believe it too?"
"Haven't you noticed that every time there hands brush their eyes meet and they fall in love just a little more." Ryan said in a sarcastic voice.
"Bro, you're starting to sound like one of Castle's books"
"Alright bro, but they are together now." Ryan stated.
"That's bad."
"Why?"
"I owe Lanie 100 bucks."
"Don't say I never warned you. Never make a bet against her. She must have done something in a past life because she always wins."
After a mental debate (with myself) I'm throwing Martha into the mix too. So last but not least (as the great lady would say herself) the beautiful Martha Rogers...
"How's your son doing?" A cast member asked Martha.
"Oh Richard is doing fine."
"Any women in his life at the moment?" She said with a flair of curiosity.
"Well... let's just say a certain tall brunette detective may or may not be on the stage at the moment."
"You mean?"
"Yes, my dear it may have finally happened."
"Shame, he was going to be mine."
So there we go. Shopping trip next chapter, then the party. Please review I'd love to know your thoughts. Did you like the whole everyone included thing? Because if you do I'll do that at the party.
