Richard Castle Kate Beckett Chat
Richard Castle I have to ask you something.
Kate Beckett ?
Richard Castle I have a meeting to go to right now. But later tonight?
Kate Beckett Movie and Chinese night at your place?
Richard Castle Actually, it may be better if we just talked on here…getting back late, things like that, ya know?
Kate Beckett ok…is everything alright?
Richard Castle Yeah, but I think I may have to go to LA sometime next week…
Kate Beckett Ok…for the movie?
Richard Castle yeah
Kate Beckett How long will you be gone for?
Richard Castle Not exactly sure, hence the meeting.
Kate Beckett Ah.
Richard Castle later then?
Kate Beckett sounds good. No dead bodies so far so just message me when you get back.
Richard Castle Will do. See ya.
Kate Beckett Bye.
Kate Beckett is in a relationship and it's complicated with Josh Davidson.
Kate Beckett Josh Davidson Chat
Josh Davidson It's complicated? Kate, really?
Kate Beckett What did you say to Castle?
Josh Davidson What are you talking about?
Kate Beckett I know you said something to Castle. What was it?
Josh Davidson oh my God, you've got to be kidding me. Did he come running to you tattling on me?
Kate Beckett No. I could tell that something was bothering him by the way he was responding to me on Facebook. So what did you tell him?
Josh Davidson I just told him to back off for a bit.
Kate Beckett What?! Why?
Josh Davidson Come on, Kate. Even you've got to admit that your 'friendship' with the man isn't normal…
Kate Beckett That doesn't give you the right to get rid of my best friend/partner like that.
Josh Davidson Partner? The guy's not even a cop.
Kate Beckett That doesn't mean anything. He's still saved my life tons of times. If it wasn't for him on multiple occasions I wouldn't even be here…
Josh Davidson I know, you've told me. And for that, I am grateful. But seriously, Kate. You hang out with him outside of work more than you do your own boyfriend.
Kate Beckett He's my best friend, Josh. I've known him longer than I've known you, I…
Josh Davidson You trust him more.
Kate Beckett I didn't say that.
Josh Davidson But it's obvious, isn't it?
Josh Davidson I mean, hell, you tell him how you feel more than you do me. He can connect to you on a personal and emotional level.
Kate Beckett You can too.
Josh Davidson But I don't understand you the way he does.
Kate Beckett We're best friends. We're there for each other. Always. And you don't have the right to tell him to leave. He's my partner, and I'm not losing him.
Josh Davidson And what about when that partnership, that friendship develops into something more? Then what? Am I supposed to just stand off to the side and let it continue?
Kate Beckett Nobody said that it would develop into anything more.
Josh Davidson Oh, but it will. It always does and in fact, it already has.
Kate Beckett Castle and I are just friends…that's all.
Josh Davidson and I'm your boyfriend. And I don't feel comfortable with you hanging out with him as much as you already do.
Kate Beckett So this all comes down to trust? You say that I trust him more than I do you, yet you don't seem to trust me at all when it comes to him.
Josh Davidson I trust you; it's him I don't.
Kate Beckett Castle would never take advantage of me.
Josh Davidson I'm not saying he would but…Kate, you've got to understand where I'm coming from. I don't like you hanging out with another man, especially with the way you two are so close.
Kate Beckett So you want me to choose? It's either you or him.
Josh Davidson I think that in order for our relationship to continue then yeah, you have a choice to make. I can give you some time to think about it…we can talk about it tomorrow morning if you want?
Kate Beckett no need to. I've already made up my mind.
Josh Davidson And?
Kate Beckett I choose him.
Richard Castle Kate Beckett Chat
Richard Castle Are you happy?
Richard Castle And I mean truly happy?
Kate Beckett What?
Richard Castle with Josh…are you happy with Josh?
Kate Beckett Rick, there's something I've got to tell you…
Richard Castle Because…Kate, you've got to know by now that I don't just follow you around just for the books. It's not about that anymore; it's not about the story.
Kate Beckett I know.
Richard Castle And you know that I would never want to hurt you or jeopardize your relationships in anyway.
Kate Beckett Rick, I know. And there's something I need to tell you.
Richard Castle Then you also know that I would do anything for you and even though it's hard for me to accept the circumstances that we may find ourselves in, as long as you're happy…that's all that matters to me.
Kate Beckett What are you saying, Castle?
Richard Castle I'm saying that I'm done, Kate. I can't follow you around anymore.
Kate Beckett Castle. Wait.
Richard Castle I'm sorry, Kate. Goodbye.
Kate Beckett is no longer in a relationship.
Author's Note: Sorry it's been so long (2+ years)! About to start law school so I have a feeling that I'll be using writing as my escape much more frequently than I have in the past.
Hope you enjoyed!
