UnderCover Wedding
Chapter Three
Arrived at Castle's Apartment…
Kate & Rick walked into his place & Kate noticed how quiet it was.
Kate said, "So are Martha & Alexis out for the night?"
Rick gave a weird look & looked away. He said, "How about we take your bags to the guest room?" Avoiding Kate's question.
"Castle…answer the question, why are you avoiding it?" Beckett asked.
"Well…(Castle moving across to the other side of the room to avoid getting hit), Mother & Alexis are out of town this week & weekend." Rick said in a rush, hiding behind the kitchen counter.
"CASTLE! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT!" said Kate as she threw a couch cushion at him which bounced off the counter & went over his head as he ducked under the counter.
Stuttering Rick answered, "Now Kate just calm down a bit & step away from the couch."
"DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME TO CALM DOWN! You should of told me before we got here!" Kate yelled. She then picked up another cushion & threw it at him which beaned him in the head.
"KATE! You really need to get away from that couch!" Rick said rubbing his head.
Kate calmed down & took a deep breath counting to 10 she sat down on the couch. Rick then walked very slowly over to the couch & sat down at the other end.
He then told her, "I didn't tell you because I knew you get mad & wouldn't stay here anyway. Like Montgomery said we need to make this undercover assignment look real."
"I know…I'm sorry for over reacting, but this whole thing is a bit strange don't you think?" Kate asked.
Rick answered, "Yes it does seem strange, but Roy said he'd look into it himself. If it makes you feel any better Mother & Alexis do know that you are staying with us again until this whole thing is figured out."
Kate asked, "But what if this whole thing wasn't a mix-up that someone planned this to happen?"
"Well then we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Neither of us are in a relationship other people." Said Rick.
"No were not, but so much has happened between us in the past. Things that were said." Kate said.
"And things that weren't." Rick answered.
Kate looked at him & nodded her head, "I know…I don't want to ruin everything that we got back from before."
"Neither do I. But we're a lot stronger now that we went through all of that. We can take things slow. Deal with this assignment first before we move onto something else." Rick said.
Kate answered, "Ok I'll try…but I'm not promising that it will be perfect at times."
"That's ok…I'm not looking for perfect, I just want you & want you to be happy." Said Rick.
Kate smiled at him & he smiled back.
Rick then said, "How about we put your bags in the guest room & then eat our dinner from Remy's?"
"Ok that sounds good. I'm starving anyway." Smiled Kate.
They took the bags upstairs & then ate their dinner. Kate was exhausted & went to bed shortly after, while Castle worked in his office for awhile…
