Katherine (KBPOV)
I woke up with something ringing; whatever it was, it was loud! My head was pounding so hard, my mouth was dry and I swore again that I was never going to drink. Although I was thankful to the alcohol since it made me bold enough to kiss Castle goodbye but it also made me horny, which is never good when you are alone; I always hated how alcohol made me horny, and now I was hung over and horny because I didn't solve the problem the night before.
I was lost in my horny thoughts for a few seconds but the ringing, which still didn't stop, brought me back. Rubbing my eyes and putting my robe, I directed myself towards the kitchen to discover where the ringing was coming from; I identified it coming from the bell, meaning someone was at my door at… I looked at the clock and saw that was 10 pm, shoot, I slept too much. The person ringing my bell still hadn't stopped and was making me crazy.
"I am coming, just stop this fucking bell." I yelled and the person behind the door got the message. Before I opened the door I made sure my robe wasn't showing anything, I wasn't in the mood to flash anyone anything, and opened the door.
"Hey... Peter!" I said surprised
"Hello Katherine, have you seen the paper today?" He said sounding angry and barging in my apartment, throwing the paper at a table near the door.
"Not, I haven't seen it Peter; what is the problem with it?"
"Take a look yourself!" He yelled.
"Don't fucking yell, my head is pounding." I groaned at him.
"Why? Were you drinking?" He asked with a sarcastic voice.
"You know I was. I went to the nightclub with Sarah, but you know that. What is your problem Peter? I am not in the mood for your shit today" I said sitting down at a chair near the table.
"Just read the fucking paper. I bet you thought I wouldn't find out!"
"Okay, calm the fucking down, I don't know what you are talking about." I said taking the paper "What page is the problem?"
"Page 6" He spat.
When he said page 6, I felt a shiver go through my spine, that couldn't be good. I opened at page 6. My heart stopped beating or started beating faster, either way at that moment I froze. There, the main notice of the page was the title:
"Meet Richard Castle new muse!
Richard Castle, the author of the series of books from Derrick Storm was seen yesterday at the nightclub Royal with a woman that we got to know recently: Katherine Beckett, one of the most prestigious family lawyers in the city and engaged to Peter Franchest, one of the heirs of the Franchest family, one of the richest family in the district. By the photos we can see that they looked very cozy and relaxed but what is our favorite author doing with an engaged woman? We are yet to discover. Take a look at the photos we got and be the judge of the following question:
Are they having an affair or they are just really good friends?
If you got curious to see what kind of engagement ring Katherine has, check out photo number two were we can see clearly the amazing size of her rock! Katherine darling, leave some millionaire to the rest of the ladies!
Ps: Don't fool yourself readers, she isn't a gold digger, our team did a little research and Katherine fortune is around 5 million dollars and growing! At least that, don't you think?."
I held my breath, oh god; the pictures were worst then the text. The first one was Richard and I looking each other with smiles that were screaming "We did the nasty-nasty", the second we were laughing really close together with my hand, the hand of the ring, in his chest showing my engagement ring for the world, and third and fourth was when I kissed him goodbye, that in the photo appeared that I kissed him in the mouth instead of the corner of his mouth, which was what I did. As I stared at it blankly, Peter said:
"So, do you have something to say?"
"Not really, no" I said tossing the paper back at the table.
"You don't have anything to say? Defend yourself? Or confirm it?"
"You knew I was going at a nightclub, he appeared there, approached me, I said I was engaged, he said he just wanted to have a good talk and enjoy the place, I agreed, Sarah left with someone, I wasn't ready to call it the night so we stayed and talked. That is all." I said not wanting to tell him that we have met before.
"That is all? That is fucking all?" Peter yelled as he stood up.
"Yes peter" I said with an annoyed voice and going to the kitchen to start the coffee.
"But Katherine, they said my name! Everybody is going to talk! First, you wait one year to start planning our wedding and now this!" He screamed. "Do you even love me? Do you really want to marry me?"He asked almost whispering, like he was afraid of the answer, his eyes watering from the hurt and looking at me expecting for the answer.
"Of course I love you and of course I want to marry you! If I didn't want, I wouldn't have said yes." I said approaching him and when I finished talking I gave him a passionate kiss to show my point. "I love you baby, you know I do" I said giving him more kisses.
"I love you so much baby! When I saw the paper, was like all my world was crumbling down at me! Oh baby I can't lose you, I love you so much." He said kissing me back and hugging me.
"Yeah, you say you love me, but you entered here ready crucify me." I said getting out of his arms and picking up my coffee.
"My love clouded my judgment. Please forgive me Kate." I couldn't forgive him, because there wasn't anything to forgive, if Richard and I were a little drunker we would have gone home together, which was the problem; if I got the chance to cheat on him with Richard, I would take the opportunity. And yet, I knew Peter would crawl back to me and says that everything was his fault.
His devotion to me, the way he always said he was the wrong one, they way he just accepted what I had to give him and yet loved every bit of it, made me question if I we really should be together; maybe I was just using him for my own satisfaction or something like that and although I was usually a bad person, Peter wasn't. Maybe Lanie was right, I didn't want to really marry Peter, I was accommodated and when some new shinning toy showed up I was ready to toss Peter apart, that wasn't what a relationship was suppose to be, what a marriage was suppose to be. My parents marriage was amazing, they were so in love even after a long time together, although I didn't believe I would find it myself that didn't mean that I couldn't give Peter the chance to find it. Maybe I really should break everything off.
Even if I was still hangover, there was only a way that I could forget all the silly questions that popped in my mind when Peter crawled back to me apologizing for stuff that in the end, was my fault. Sex.
After the second round, Peter drift off and I went to the living room to check out my cell phone; my machine was blinking, it probably had a few messages probably about the article, I would deal with it later. My cell phone had several messages but the only one that interested me was from Castle, he called 4 times since 8am in the morning and sent me 12 messages, oh boy, he woke up early. To put an end at his misery and since I was sure Peter would take a long time to wake up I called Castle.
"Hey Kate, I am so glad that you called me. How are you?" Castle said with a worried voice.
"I am good, but we can cut the small talk."
"Yeah, right. Did you see it?"
"Yes, my fiancé showed me about two hours ago. How did it end up in the paper?"
"I have no idea, yesterday I asked to my publicist keep it low, you know, don't say to anybody I was going there to use for promotion or something like that. I called her today and she said she didn't do any of it. When I got there I saw the paparazzi but I thought they were there for someone else and wasn't even going to notice me."
"Clearly you were wrong." I said messaging my temples and sitting at a stool in the kitchen with a cup of water.
"Yes, clearly. How was the damage there?"
"Nothing serious, Peter got angry but we talked and everything appears to be fine now."
"I am so sorry that you went through that, if I know that something like that wasn't going to happen I would have said no."
"Hey, don't worry Castle. Tomorrow will be old news. There is just one thing that I want you to do. Just clear things out with your daughter you know, I don't want her thinking bad stuff about you." I don't know why I said it, maybe was because Richard appear to love his daughter so much, maybe I just wanted her to like me or something like that, or maybe sometimes I wasn't a selfish person, just sometimes.
"Alexis knows how the tabloids work. She gets it. She didn't get angry or something like that."
"Okay then. Well, I will do damage control with the rest of the people here, I am sure I will have to talk to a million of people to make sure everybody gets that none of that stuff is true and everything."
"Yes, of course. Next time let's just meet at places that don't draw much attention like coffee shops or The Old Haunt. If will be a next time."
"Will be a next time Richard, don't worry."
"Okay. I feel better now; I was pretty worried about you."
"No need to worry, I can sue then and win a lot of money if I can. But I won't do it; it would make the story last longer, let's just forget and move on, alright? And don't worry about me and Peter; he will always come back to me."
"Hum…Okay then. I hope I get to see you soon."
"Yes, we will get together soon. Goodbye Castle." I said with the same sensual voice I said the night before.
"Go-goodbye Kate."
I hung up with a smile in my face, what was that Castle had that always made that to me? This happier, lighter person.
