Chapter 2
It had been a long day out in the streets of L.A. They had finally found that son of a bitch who had put a bullet through Royce's head and Kate couldn't feel more relieved. They were driving back to the hotel now, and she couldn't help but wonder, how the day's events had distracted her so much from something that had taken over her thoughts all night last night and all morning today.
And as she sneaked a peek to her right to look at him, he was smiling to himself about something, staring outside the window.
She kept her gaze on him, staring at his face, that ruggedly, handsome face, he hadn't shaved this morning, and there was this really hot scruff lining his jaw, she imagined what it would feel like to feel that roughness against her skin, against her face, between her thighs.
'Hold it!' her mind scolded. 'You're driving. Now is not the time to be distracted.' And even as she tried to focus on the road, she knew her body had now started reacting to the idea of maybe invading his so called 'dreams' tonight, again. She pressed her thighs together a little, they demanded some kind of friction and as much as she would prefer Castle's hand there right now between her legs, she decided that would have to wait for some time later tonight.
Castle's phone buzzed and he looked at it and smiled.
"What are you smiling so much about tonight?"
"Nothing..." he said and kept smiling at his phone screen. Kate got curious now.
"Come on, tell me..."
"Okay, but only cause you insisted" he angled himself a little towards her, and she kept her eyes on the road ahead.
"So last night, I had this ammmaazing dream!"
"yea? What was it about?" she couldn't stop that proud smile from creeping onto his face. He really enjoyed last night, and it her ego did a summersault at the effect she was able to have on him.
"Don't judge me, but I haven't had this kind of dream in a long, long time. There was this woman, she was… beyond anything I'd ever imagined…"
"Castle, is this dream rated PG-13?"
He laughed "Oh Beckett, this dream crossed every content rating there is, if you ask me, speaking this dream out loud should be illegal"
"That good huh?" Kate asked, looking at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Yea, she was remarkable"
"How much do you remember?"
"Everything that I needed to." he said, and then he winked at Kate. Kate had to work every muscle in her face to not let the blush show.
"Except... I don't quite remember her name…"
"You don't?"
"No, I don't" and he paused. Kate was grateful for it. Cause she needed a moment for the part inside her that broke to just try to hold itself. He hadn't remembered it was her?!
"Actually, I remember saying her name out loud a good number of times," he chuckled "because God Kate, she was sooo good! Sooo... exceptional in bed!"
Kate tried to go with it. "okay... but you don't remember her name?"
"Nope, nada. Maybe it's better that way though. Maybe it's just the universe telling me it's better I never see her again"
"What?! That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard! Castle, if she made you feel so good, don't you think you owe it to yourself to see her again"
"exactly, that's why, this afternoon, I tried to search deep into my head, and try and recall details from that dream last night, and mind you, the details were all too vivid, they still are" he smiled mischievously. "And I think I have an inkling now of who it was"
"You do?" Kate sounded a little more excited than she wanted to.
"Yea! I mean and I'm laughing now because I've been so stupid to not have guessed it all day. I mean I've worked with her, and I know her so well"
Kate was beginning to feel good about this, and yet nervous in a way. If this went the way she was predicting, they would be having a real serious conversation about their partnership right now, here in the car on their way back home to a hotel room that had witnessed them becoming one last night, so very loud and intimately.
"Yea, well, have you told her about your dream? About how you liked it"
"Yea I just did"
Kate smiled. Not feeling shy anymore to hide that glow.
Castle continued "and she just replied to my text"
Kate almost hit the brakes on the car. Almost
"Wait, what?"
"I texted her. Told her I had this amazing dream about her last night"
"She wants to know what the dream was about"
Kate was silent. Waiting for him to continue. Her palms and fingers were holding on to the steering wheel of the car like her life depended on it. She was feeling some emotion she couldn't name right now. Firstly he didn't remember it was her. Secondly, he was texting some other woman while he was right here in the car with her, and giving her credit for the extraordinary night of sex he had.
"I'm… I'm sorry Castle, I'm a little confused here. Who is this woman?" she asked, not trying in any way to mask her emotions.
"Natalie Rhodes!"
"Oh" it made sense as to why he'd think of her. The woman had done a pretty good make over when she was trying so hard to look like Nikki Heat, Like Kate Beckett.
The rest of the ride back to the hotel, Kate didn't once turn to look at Rick. She couldn't bear to see him smiling giddily at his phone screen, she didn't want to watch him flirt with her 'wanna be' alter ego, and more importantly, she didn't know what emotion her body was portraying right now, cause she was feeling something between Angry, hurt and played. She was also feeling an emotion that she didn't want to name just yet because it was not something she usually admitted to feeling. But it was ruled by a green monster within her.
She noticed how Castle was oblivious to her state of mind. He truly believed the woman in his dreams last night was Natalie Rhodes and here he was narrating the conversation he was having with the said 'sex goddess' to her. Uneasy and restless didn't begin to describe what she was going through, listening to him go on about last night, only giving credit to another woman for all the amazing things she did to him.
"Yea so, I told her, I'll tell her what I dreamed, only if she agrees to meet me"
Kate kept a straight face
"And guess what? I'm seeing her for breakfast tomorrow before our flight and before her shoot"
'Whoopie.' Kate thought sarcastically.
"That's great" she told him, feigning interest.
They had reached the hotel room then, and Castle ordered chinese for dinner. Kate didn't eat much, and she wanted to retire early for the night. So she rose from the couch they had sat together to eat on and said "I'm going to try and sleep early tonight"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing… I'm just... really tired, and well.., yea"
"Is something on your mind Kate?"
"What? No." she lied.
"Alright… uhh… I'll be having breakfast with Natalie tomorrow, shall I call room service and ask them to send food for just one"
Kate really didn't want to be reminded. "Yes please."
She then turned and walked to her room
"Good night Kate"
"Good night Castle" and with that she closed her bedroom door, and began to prepare herself for the night.
Outside, Castle smiled to himself. This was working out just as he had planned.
