Ten Year Reconnect
Martha was bringing her grandkids back around 1:30 – 2:00pm; and with it still being within the 9:00am hour so Castle and Beckett still had time before they were parents again. The duo had finished making up for their lost night of freedom. Castle was sporting his bathrobe as Beckett dawned one of Castle's button down shirts and only that. As expected the fact and the sight of Beckett wearing one of his button down shirts made Castle want to go for another round; but he knew that they both had to eat.
"So what do you want to do for breakfast?" Castle asked.
"I can think of a few things." Beckett purred.
"There's time for that in a bit. We have to have actual food."
"We could give it an hour or so and we could go to Chipotle for lunch." Beckett suggested.
"A bit of spice I like it."
"So what should we do until then?"
"I have an idea." Castle responded.
With that they headed back to the bedroom for another round or two before their lunch date.
An hour or so had passed; Castle and Beckett got dressed and headed to their local Chipotle restaurant. They waited in line. When it was Beckett's turn she ordered a chicken burrito with grilled chicken, black beans, cilantro – lime rice, fresh tomato salsa, cheese and romaine lettuce in her burrito. She also got a soda. Castle got a carnitas burrito with fajita vegetables, pinto beans, cilantro – lime rice, roasted chili – corn salsa, cheese, sour cream and romaine lettuce. Like Beckett; Castle also got a soda.
Castle paid for their lunch. Shortly after they got their drinks from the restaurant's soda dispenser; the duo sat down.
"Well this is nice." Castle said in between bites.
"It is."
It was clear that the duo needed the time to themselves so what they had in the here and now.
"How's your burrito?" Castle asked.
"It's good; how's yours?"
"Quite good."
The duo finished their lunch and headed home where they spent the rest of their free time together before the kids came home.
