Before Beckett had a chance to answer her phone Castle had already grabbed it out of her hand and answered it.
"Hello?" Castle said trying to fight off Beckett who kept trying to grab her phone out of his hand.
"Rick?" Castle immediately recognized the voice on the other end.
"It's Josh." He mouthed to Beckett. "Let me handle this." Becket wanted to be mad at Castle for this but all she could do was smile and think of how sweet he was being. Castle got up and walked into the break room, shutting the door behind him.
"The one and only." He said to Josh. When Castle turned his back to the door, Beckett crept up and crouched against the door so Castle couldn't see her but she could hear their conversation clearly.
"What are you doing with Beckett's phone?" Josh asked angrily.
"Well you know we just finished having sex and I was the one closest to it." Castle said with a big grin on his face, he loved being sarcastic and getting under Josh's skin especially when it was about Beckett.
"Don't mess with me Rick. This is not a good time. Just let me talk to Beckett." Josh said the anger still hadn't left his voice.
"Ummm let me think….NO!" Castle said still grinning.
"Listen hear Rick, I will come down to the station and personally beat the crap out of you." Josh yelled.
"Do you think Beckett would ever let that happened?" Castle asked knowing the answer.
"As a matter of fact I do." Josh said with confidence. When Castle heard this the smile on his face quickly faded and his protective side kicked in.
"You listen here Motorcycle Boy, if you ever come anywhere near Beckett or even try to contact her I will have so many cops on your ass you will have to move just to get them away from you." Without letting Josh answer Castle snapped the phone shut and turned to walk out of the break room. Just as he was about to open the door he heard giggling from the other side.
"Beckett." He whispered. He quickly pulled the door open causing her to fall on the ground and break out into complete laughter. This was a side of her Castle rarely got to see, but when he did he liked it a lot.
"Something funny Detective?" he asked, scooping her up into his arms and walked back to her desk. Beckett was surprised by this and stopped laughing. He sat down in her chair, sat her on his lap and turned her so they were looking into each other's eyes. They stayed like that for a minute before Castle started to wonder what she was laughing at and how much of the conversation had she heard.
"So you wanna tell me what was so funny now?" Castle asked.
"Let's just say threatening is not your strong suit." Beckett said and started laughing again as she replayed what Castle said in her head.
"Hey! I was backing up your ass. Be grateful." Castle said a little offended but he knew she was just joking.
"And I appreciate that but how many times do I have to tell you I don't need to be helped." Beckett said getting serious.
"I know Beckett, you're a strong woman and I respect that but I also know guys like Josh and they can get sort of obsessed and clingy. That's all."
Before Beckett had a chance to say anything the elevator doors opened and Beckett jumped off Castle's lap before anyone had a chance to see them and started assuming things.
Out of the elevator walk Ryan and Esposito. In their hand they had a newspaper and were both staring at what looked like a very interesting picture on the front cover. They walked right over to Beckett's desk and dropped the paper in front of her.
"Are you two sure you only went to lunch?" Ryan asked.
"What are you talking about." Beckett said and took the paper to look at the picture. She dropped the paper in surprise.
"Beckett what's wrong?" Castle asked concerned. He grabbed the paper to have a look at the picture for himself. On the front cover was a picture of him and Beckett sharing a slice of cheesecake and the title said Rick Castle Has New Woman In His Life. Is This One A Keeper?
"Beckett I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for this."
"I know Castle, don't worry about it." Beckett said still in shock. Her and Castle were not in a relationship, she might have feelings for him, but she was positive he didn't have the same feelings towards her.
