Caskett ~ All I need

chapter 8

Ricks PoV

He payed and left the cab. It was dark, well obviously, because it was already night, but in New York it never really gets dark with all the lights from the buildings or cars or whatever, but he had the feeling that is is dark.

He went to his entrance and nearly tripped. "Hoy shit. Thss close."  Oh no, he could not even talk normal. Now he was glad that Kate wasn't around.

thss would've been 'mberrasin' he thought to himself, trying to find the right key for his door.  "Duh c'mon where you at? Ahhhthereyouare. Just - wait the other sidee - dargh - " After minutes passed by he finally got the door to open and he tried to be quite to not wake up Martha or Alexis.

He closed the door and went to the kitchen to grab some water. It felt cold at his tounge, but in a good way and it was kind if clearing his mind already, not that he would be sober by now or something.

"Wait where's ma phone? Where you? Come he-here. Ah there you at. Ouh where's the numbr? Stupeed technology-thing. Ah there ...  Ah yes Hellou, thiss Rick. I want a pizza.
How? Which kind? Pizza! Fine fine yes, much cheese! Much cheeeese pleaaaaseee. To my loft. Yeah right, Rick Castle, ya know where I am? Good, when's here? 15 min? yah i can wait. Bye. Oh oj stop please don't ring the door uh- the bell uh just please quite ok?" he said.

What should I do? 15 min? Hm could change ma clothes into comfy ones... yeah imma do that. He went to his bedroom, but in his head something started spinning and he felt dizzy. He tried not to fall and grabbed some books, which fell off the bookshelf and Rick tripped but luckily right into his bed.

"Mmhmfff shit argh well Ican'twear ma blanket, can I?" He sat up again and decided to unbottom his clothes apart from his boxershorts. He tried successfully to not fall again and now he was standing in his bedroom nearly naked. The cold air felt good at his skin.

"If Beckett would like that? Maybe I should go training? I mean - she sure likes sixpacks, doesn't she? Does not every woman? Castle! She is not eveeery Woman and especially you should know that!" He yelled at himself before he put his hands above his mouth 'because his family was asleep. Well at least he hoped that they still were.

He quitely went back to the kitchen and waited for his pizza to come.

His mind flew back to the evening. It was great. I hope she is not that cold to me tomorrow like she was when she left... I did treat her good, didn't I?  What the haiiill can I do to let her see that I like her?? I de - dedicated a book to her, she ma damn muse and I brin' her coffee every damn day, i make jokes, help her to solvee crimes and she still doesn't get that i freakin' like her?? How stupeeed.
"Maybe I just should kiss her." he daid out loud as he thought about it and it seemed like a good idea.
"Kiss who?"
