After 20 minutes of driving, they arrived at a restaurant which, was called 'The Dutch'.
"This place looks very chic.." Kate said "How do you know this place?"
"I don't know it," Rick answered "I found it on Google!"
Kate laughed and said "Typically Richard Castle"
Rick parked the car, got out of it and walked to Kate's door to help her out. She gave him her hand, and together they walked inside.
~~~~~~
"Can I take your coats?" A man said after he closed the door behind them
"Of course" they both said and they gave him their coats
"We have a reservation a 8 pm for two people" Rick said to a lady who was standing in front of them.
"Let me search your name up for you" she looked at a reservation book that laid on a table next to her. "Which name did you use?"
"Richard Castle"
"As in the Richard Castle? From the Storm and Heat series?"
"Yup that's me."
"Now I see it! Sorry, I didn't recognized you at first. My daughter loves your books!"
"I'll give you an autograph when we leaving!"
"Thank you so much!"
"Everything for my fans, and their mothers!"
"You're such a gentleman, Rick" Kate sarcastically wispered in his ear
"I'll lead you to your table!" the woman said while Rick said to Kate,
"Why are you talking like that. I am a gentleman, aren't I!"
"Oh yeah you always are," she wispered while they walked after the woman "But tonight, you don't have to be at all"
"Sexy..." he answered while she looked at him with her you-know-what-I -mean face.
"Here's your table" interrupted the woman "My colleague will grab some menu cards for you"
~~~~~
"Thank you" they said after they got the menu card from a male waiter
"Can I get you two something to drink?" He asked polite "Can we have a bottle of red wine," Rick answered "because it makes her all.."
"One bottle of red wine please" Kate interrupted him, while she kicked on Rick's foot with her heel
"I'll bring it to you soon"
"Ouch.." Rick said after the waiter left "you shouldn't have kicked me!"
"You tried to tell him-"
"I know, I know and I'm sorry. Actually, I was just joking"
"I need to use the ladies room, so if you will excuse me." She stood up and turned back to Rick "we're not done yet!"
~~~~~
While Kate walked to the ladies room she thought, 'Sometimes, he still is a nine year old on a sugar rush', but she liked that about him. He still had his crazy theories when they had to solve a murder. He hadn't changed that much. Only that he loved her now.
Some nights she's thinking in bed, just thinking. What if she didn't went to his place after she quit her job? Would they still be together now? Or what if she didn't get shot? What if Montgomery wasn't shot to dead? She hated those questions, but she couldn't get them out of her head.
She arrived at the ladies room, did what she had to do and washed her hands. She looked how the water streamed down on her hands. Everytime she sees water it reminded her of that night. She was sitting on a swing, in the rain. Thinking about her life that was a great mess. She didn't know why, but she went to Rick's place because he was the only one she needed that moment. She realized she couldn't live without him. First, she only wanted to call him, but he didn't pick his phone up. Going to his place was the best decision of her life.
But, also if she saw water, it reminded her of Vulcan Simmons. How he tortured her in that room. The feeling that her lungs were burning. How he pushed her head in the water, over and over again.
She threw some water in her face to clear up her mind. She looked in the mirror and thought 'stop thinking about the bad things... think about Castle' they would get marry in a few weeks and she couldn't wait.
She wanted to turn around but then she felt that someone helt a gun on her head and she froze.
The man said,
"one move or sound and I'll pull the trigger"
