Even after Castle's remark about keeping the door locked, I find it unlocked when I try to open it.
Stepping into his house, I'm immediately enveloped by the warmth of it.
"Castle?" I slowly call out, not wanting to wake up anybody else.
"In here." His voice comes from the kitchen.
I walk towards the kitchen and find him seated at the counter, with two glasses of water in front of him. He slides one glass towards me, across the counter as I take a seat across from him.
For a moment we both remain silent, drinking our water.
I look at him while he looks down.
My face feels tight and bothered after the argument with Sean. I tried going to sleep after I was done taking out my anger on the wall and on my pillows, but I was too worked up to even lie still for two seconds.
When I texted Castle, I was hoping he was awake, and I'm glad he was.
He's dressed in the same clothes that he was in when he left my house.
I furrow my eyebrows. "Were you going to sleep?"
He shakes his head, slowly and wearily.
"I don't think I could've." He mumbles.
I frown. "Something happened?"
He hesitates for a moment, then nods.
"What?" I ask.
"You tell me first. You came to my house because you had a shitty night," he says. "What happened?"
I play around with the glass in my hand, contemplating if I should tell him the whole thing or not.
After a long moment, I speak.
"Sean was in my bedroom when I went upstairs."
Castle's head jerks up. He stares at me.
I continue, knowing this would put both of us in an uncomfortable position for a while. "He wanted to have sex."
He waits for me to finish speaking, watching me carefully. He's not exactly accusing me with his eyes, instead, he looks wary. As if I'm gonna drop a bomb on him.
"I refused and we had a big argument. I told him we were together and that's when he got mad." I scoff. "Apparently, he thinks you're taking me away from him."
Castle looks baffled at that. "Why would he think that?"
I shrug. "Because I'm spending more time with you than I am with him."
