On a separate note, I loved In the Belly of the Beast. It was hard to watch Beckett get abducted and tortured but, Stana did a fabulous job! The letter brought on the feels so much! And when Bracken came on the screen, I died. I love Jack Coleman in this role. I love all the episodes involving Beckett's mother's death and Bracken. The whole Beckett's mother's murder and political tie in is so well written by Andrew Marlowe. I love it! Ok, end rant. What did you guys think of the episode?
"You rented a car?" She asked as I held open the door to the BMW Convertible I had rented just for our date.
"Yes, our destination is a bit of drive." I said closing the door to the car and running around the side, getting in.
"Where is our destination?" She asked arching her eyebrow.
"Miss Castle, you are along for the ride." I stated pulling out of the parking spot and onto the street.
"So, are you nervous for the election?"
"No, not really. I mean I'm winning by a landslide. The numbers can't really change that drastically in the short amount of time left."
"Do you think it's weird how you're father hasn't tried anything yet?"
"No, his 'wife' just died. It would be very suspicious if his son had an accident as well. And if he didn't go the physical route and tried the scandal card on me. I have no secrets. I mean I'm as innocent as you can get I politics."
"I don't know, Jasper. He's very…resourceful. Who knows what he has under his sleeve." She sighed sadly.
"Enough about him." I stated grabbing her hand. "My party is on Friday. Miss White says I need a date. So…I was wondering if you had any people in mind."
"Oh really." She giggled. "Nope. I don't think anyone wants to date a city council member who still has to sleep with a night light."
"Correction. It's a light to help me see if I need to get up in the middle of the night and fight off criminals. It's not a night light."
"Ok. Whatever you say."
"Anyway, I want you come as my date. I already sent invites to your family as well."
"I thought you'd never ask." She said kissing my cheek.
I pulled into the parking spot and parked the car. Unlatching the hood, I put the top down revealing the beautiful night sky.
"This is why I rented the car. To show you the stars, you can't really see them in the city because of all the light pollution. So, I thought a nice little drive out to Breezy Point would let us see them. Here, I even brought hot chocolate and blankets." I said grabbing them from the back seat, handing them to her.
"This is perfect, Jasper. When my dad takes me to the Hampton's in the summer, I love looking at the stars."
We laid like that. Staring at the sky for what seemed like hours, which in reality were only minutes.
"You know I could count every star in the sky and they still wouldn't be close to the number of reasons why I love you." I said tilting my head to look into her eyes.
She squeezed my hand and tilted her head towards mine. Kissing me lightly on the lips, the heat between much different from that of the cold air.
"Oh, I almost forgot." I said reaching into my coat pocket. "Here, I got this for you." She opened the letter revealing a cheesy certificate I received in the mail. "I bought you your own star. I know there's laws saying that you don't really own it but…" I rambled before she grabbed my cheeks and crushed her lips onto mine, silencing me.
"Jasper, you need to learn to shut up sometimes. I love it. I love you. Now I don't know about you but, how about we go home and get warmed up…" She said giving me the suggestive smirk.
"Let's see how fast this thing can go." I said hurriedly putting the top up and the car in drive.
We couldn't get home fast enough.
