A/N: This is my first fanfiction so please review and give me feed back! I plan to have it continue but don't have an exact plan so ideas are welcome! I also want to thank my wonderful beta forever-lost-in-paradise without whom this story would still just be an idea stuck in my head.
He felt the change in her breath, could hear her brain start turning. A sliver of light came in from the curtains highlighting the curves of her body. His fingers traced her curves from her thighs, over her hips, all the way up to her neck. He placed a kiss on that spot behind her ears.
She rolled over to face him "Hi," her voice raspy from just waking up. She pressed a light kiss to his lips.
"Good morning indeed," his voice heavy with sleep.
"You know I do have the day off..."
"And would you like to do today? Since it is your rare day off I'll let you choose today's festivities" he wiggled his eyebrows, knowing she'd roll her eyes and she did not disappoint.
Kate Beckett was not the type of girl to lie around in bed all day on her day off. She liked to get out in the city and do things. He loved her adventurous spirit, it matched his childish side that she would never admit but loved it and he knew it.
"You know what I've been wanting to do," She rolled him over leant down and whispered in his ear, "What I really want to do today…"
"Wha-what," he could barely think when she did this, let alone form words.
"Spend the day in the park," she smiled and rolled off of him and headed to the bathroom to shower.
"Tease." He slowly rolled over, getting out of bed. He put on some pants and headed to the kitchen to make some breakfast.
He looked in her fridge trying to figure out what he can make based on the contents in her fridge. He found eggs, bread, butter and syrup; he decided on making French toast. He knew Kate would be out in about 20 minutes. He got the pans out of the cabinet, he knew where everything was; this wasn't the first time he made breakfast in her apartment in the last 3 months they've been dating.
He remembers the first time he made breakfast for her. It was during the case about the Nikki Heat books. He had stayed because he felt somewhat responsible for the danger she was in because he was after all the one who wrote the books. He had just finished making pancakes and setting the table when she came out. He went to get the paper while she poured them coffee but instead of finding the paper he found the body of the person they were looking for. Then Esposito, Ryan, Agent Shaw and the rest of the team came over to gain information about it. They never did get to eat that morning. He smirked as he remembered Esposito and Ryan asking for details on what happened that night and how he pulled them in close tricking them into thinking he was going to divulge the details of what a special night for Castle and Beckett, only to disappoint them by saying there were no details.
He continued to cook while he thought back on that day and what could've been if they hadn't been interrupted; at this point Beckett should be finishing up in the shower. So he started to plate the food and set the table when he heard a knock on the door.
He went to answer it because even though Beckett yelled at him for answering her phone, surely answering her door when she was in the shower was not the same thing. If she was still in the shower like he thought she would not have heard the knock and if she was getting out she would not have answered it in a towel. He heard the knock again.
"It must be one of the boys or Lanie," he thought so there couldn't possibly be any harm in answering it.
He swung the door open and his face fell, "Maybe I should've waited for Kate," he thought to himself.
He turned as he heard her soft footsteps of her bare feet; she was dressed in jeans that hugged her in the right places and a white V-neck that fit but not too tight. Her hair was dripping wet as she was drying it with a towel.
"Castle, who is it? Let them-" she stopped mid sentence too stunned to finish, "Captain what are you doing here?"
A/N: so like I said above I want to continue this and my plan is to Gates reaction and how she deals but I also am not ready to part with it and want Gates to ask Beckett for a personal favor but not sure what the favor is so if you have ideas you would like to see happen let me know!
