Shit, What am I going to do? Beckett knows Meredith... and she knows I slept with her three weeks ago. I don't like Meredith, I hope Beckett remembers that much about my relationship with Mere. Seriously, why is she here? And who is with her? Oh god, this can't end well. I hope she doesn't come over here.
As Meredith approached Beckett and Castle, Castle's grip tightened around Beckett and pulled her closer.
"Meredith, what a surprise. What are you doing in New York, I thought you were going back to LA." Castle was beyond surprised, but this had to be just another one of Meredith's tricks. Was she intentionally trying to ruin his life?
"Well, this is my fiancé, Chris." Castle could see the pleading look on Meredith's face.
"Fiancé, you never told me you were getting married, congratulations Mere." Beckett remained silent at Castle's side.
"Yeah, we're getting married in 3 weeks, well we ought to be going, we're starving." With that Meredith and Chris were off to eat.
"Beckett, I'm sorry, she really was supposed to be out of town three weeks ago, and out of my life, I don't want any more deep fried Twinkies." he pulled Beckett into a reluctant hug. "I'm sorry, that was probably harder for you than it was for me."
"No, I'm fine Castle. I'm sure that wasn't easy for you. As long as you don't have feelings for her still, I'll be fine." she buried her head deeper into his shoulder, his arms felt so good wrapped around her.
"If by feelings you mean, I won't say hate, strongly dislike, then yes I still have feelings for her, besides that, then no." That got a smile out of Beckett. Beckett's smiles made Castle's heart melt, he couldn't help but to try to pull her closer.
"Castle, as much as I would love to stay here with your ex wife forever, we should probably get going." So Castle took hold Beckett's hand tightly and dragged her out of Black Radical.
As soon as Beckett started to get ahead Castle stopped her, "Hey Beckett, wait a second. I really want to show you something first."
"Oh? And wha..." Castle stopped her in mid sentence by placing his hands on both sides of Beckett's face. In pure need, Castle captured Beckett's lips in the best kiss of her life. If she were wearing any, her socks would have been knocked off. Their lips moved in sync for god knows how long. "Castle, what were you going to show me?"
He laughed, "What a good kisser I was." he had a devilishly sexy grin plastered on his face, "But I think you took home the grand title, Beckett, you are a great kisser." He pulled her into another mind blowing kiss, "We were supposed to be going somewhere, but I honestly think I could spend the rest of my life right here. I'm guessing you would kind of like to go watch the show though..."
"Well Castle, the show is not the number one thing on my to do list anymore"
"Am I?" He had to try as hard as he could to keep his serious facade.
"Actually, yeah..." she was almost embarrassed but when she saw his reaction she no
longer felt embarrassed. Castle bent his head once more to swipe his lips against Beckett's, and then urged her to walk towards the car.
When they were at a turning point, one direction would lead them to their show, the other would go in the direction of Beckett's apartment. To Beckett's surprise, Castle turned toward Broadway. Before she could ask he started talking.
"Both my ex wives ended up terrible because I slept with them on the first date, I'm not planning on sleeping with you tonight. I want you to be around with me longer." much longer he added in the back of his head.
"That's too bad, sleeping and sex aren't necessarily the same thing." It was her turn to paste on a sexy smile, that just about blew Castle away. All of a sudden Castle made a sharp turn. "What the hell are you doing Castle? Are you trying to get us killed?"
"Nope. I just decided I am going to your apartment after we rent a movie." Beckett started laughing, because though it was a first "date" , but she felt like she had been dating him for months.
At the rental shop Castle decided it would be fun to play "hide around in the store and jump out at Beckett to scare the shit out of her game", when they finally decided on two movies they left hand in hand. Halfway home Castle decided this night called for some ice cream.
"How old are you again Beckett? If you weren't such a good kisser I would say you were 8, did you seriously just order mint chocolate chip ice cream?" he was trying to talk while laughing and eating which ended up as a giant chocolate smear across his cheek.
"I don't know Castle, but you are the one with chocolate ice cream all over your face." she kissed his cheek where he had ice cream so when she pulled back she could taste chocolate on her lips. "Mmm you taste good."
"You do too" he said between kisses.
At home Castle had his whole upper body wrapped around Beckett in her bed. He nuzzled at her neck every few minutes . Just then Castle's phone rang
"Hello?"
"Dad, it's 11:00 where are you? You didn't say you were going to be gone so long." oh how am I going to explain this to Alexis?
