Caskett ~ All I need

chapter 7

Ricks PoV
He watched her leaving the room. Castle did not know what to think now. Like was this evening a success? Or was it a step backwards? Yeah they danced a bit, but no physical contact between them happened. Ok yeah, she took his hand and he'll never forget this feeling, but it was just a short moment...

He went to radio and turned it off. He was annoyed by that stupid song. This song made me ask again. And maybe the alcohol. But if i wouldn't have asked, she probably would've stayed longer... I made her feel uncomfortable so she escaped... Ouh rick, you know it better, don't you! he sat there sunk in his thought, kind of yelling at himself.

I hope she gets home safe... Kate's drunk, I mean what if - No! She is a cop, she can defense herself! She does not need you. She does not need me.
Hurt by his own thoughts he cleaned up and decided to wait a bit longer in the room, so he could avoid meeting her, waiting for a cab. It was childish, he knew it, but he is Richard Castle, what did you expect?

He wanted to avoid an awkard situation, the awkard silence between them or even him hitting on her because, oh well, he loved that woman. Like, what do you want more? She is confident,  a badass, has a beautiful smile and the most interesting personality.

Buddy, she is with Josh, don't forget that. Did she think about Josh, when she rejected me? Did she think that ... what? Josh would think her dancing with me is cheating? Noo... maybe... because she knew that if she would dance with me... she could not control herself? Wait stop that- this does not mean she is in love with me, we're both drunk and i am ruggendly handsome so... why not? Argh i seriously need to stop thinking 'bout her...

He looked at his watch and decided that by now, she must be on her way home... maybe to josh..., so he went ouside, nobody was there. Rick sighed. He locked the door and decided to not call a cap, instead he would walk to his loft. Propably one of his dumbest decisions so far but oh lord, alcohol is and will always stay alcohol.

He started walking, well he tried to walk but it was hard to do it straight and to not trip. He had to concentrate and this is something what is really hard for him in this state. Rick  just wanted to go home and make pancakes...

wait, why would you make pancakes in the middle of the night? But i am kind of hungry... guess i just should order a pizza... ah yes pizza sounds good, but first imma need to go to my appartement.. wait in which direction do I have to go again? Shit. Shit. Shiiiit. Ah... Maybe i should call a cab... or take the train? Nah not now! Ok, guess I'll call a cab...

He searched for his phone in his pocketts and when he finally found it, he smiled a bit. It took him a while to type the right number, but now the only thing he has to do is waiting.
I can wait. I am good at waiting...
