Love By Death (Castle Fan Fiction)

Chapter 6

I awoke the next morning, feeling absolutely horrible. "Shit," was about all I could say the entire morning. For one, I had only gotten three hours of sleep. I had gotten home from the party at three and woke up at six. Two, I had a major hangover. My head pounded, every noise sounded ten times more loud than it was, and light burned my eyes. Basically, I was feeling awful. Then again, I knew I had something to get up for. Or, someone, rather.

I wonder if he thought of us as... well, "us". Or maybe he was just too drunk last night and had no control over what he was doing. I really hope he wants us to be together, after last night. I mean, I've only known him for a day, but he is so much more than I could've ever asked for in a man.

As I pull up to Espo's house, I attempt to fix myself up. I realized that it's no use. I look and feel horrible. If he actually likes me, then he won't care either. As he comes strolling out of his house, he's smiling from ear to ear. "Hey, baby," he says as he gets in the car. "Hey. How are you this morning?" I say. "My head pounds, but other than that, I'm fine. How are you? Is my baby experiencing her first hangover?" He playfully says as he grabs my face and kisses me. I guess he does want us to be a thing. Yay! "Yeah. It's absolutely horrible, Espo. I feel like death." "Well babe, you can't die on me. I need you too much." The little things he says are just too cute.

As we pull into the precinct, we get out of the car and he instantly grabs my hand. We walk to the elevator and get in. Once we get in, he grabs me and starts to kiss me. "What are you doing?" I ask him. "We can't make out in the middle of the precinct, so I figure we'll just do it now." He's just too cute, and of course I can't resist his soft lips. "Okay." We make out until the elevator dings for the floor, and we quickly pull away from each other and walk into the precinct as if nothing happened.

"Morning, lovers." Ryan says as soon as we get in clear sight. "Shut up," Espo says to him. "I like how you act as if nothing happened last night," Ryan says. I make a little smirk at Espo, and he smiles at me. It's clear that we aren't the only ones who know what went down last night.

The elevator opens and Castle and Beckett step out. "Morning, everyone!" Castle says enthusiastically. "Hey!" we all say. Beckett says nothing, and immediately walks over and sits down at her desk and works on some paperwork. Five minutes later, her phone rings. "Beckett. Okay. Yep. Be there in fifteen." "Murder?" Castle asks. "Of course," she says. "Coming?"

Espo looks to me. "Jess, I think it's time for you to experience your first crime scene."
