Kate
The smell of coffee travelled it's way through the loft and to where I was sleeping, my nose twitched and my eyes fluttered open. I smiled as the sun shone through the crack in the blinds and I stretched my arms above my head before sitting up and letting my hair cascade down my back in messy waves. I looked around and immediately noticed the lack of another presence beside me and my hands combed the still warm sheets opposite me. I slowly climbed out of the comfortable bed and heard a satisfying crack in my back before treading through barefoot in my PJ's towards the smell radiating from the kitchen.
As I rounded the corner my smile grew as I took in the image of my fiancé bent over the kitchen counter attempting to make love hearts in the cups of coffee. I crept up behind him and slowly encased him in a hug from behind.
"hey babe" I whispered into his ear. He turned around to face me and kissed me with his deliciously soft lips.
"you caught me. it was meant to be a surprise" Rick huffed before drawing me in for a hug. "did you sleep well?" Castle asked with a knowing, cheeky grin on his face.
" Not really, no thanks to you" I replied with a yawn before walking over to the counter whilst swaying my hips seductively.
"and where do you think you are going?" Castle spoke whilst adopting an authoritive tone. I turned around an laughed when I saw his expression after getting caught eyeing up my bottom.
"well Castle. I am still waiting for that coffee" I said impatiently just to wind him up.
"yes your highness" Castle said dramatically before making a big presentation of setting the cup of steaming coffee in front of me and then following it with a bow and a solute.
" I could really get used to this" I whispered as he sat down next to me.
" I have no doubt that you could. But right now there is something we have to sort out." he said in a very serious tone.
"emm, okay. What would that be?" I asked as he did seem very serious.
" the venue for our wedding of course!" he said as if he was hurt by me not knowing what he was on about from the beginning.
"oh, yes. I suppose I have been so wrapped up in work that I haven't really thought about setting a venue." I have to admit the past few days have been so hectic with two murder cases being handed to my team and a deadline for Castle's book coming up, we really haven't had the chance to sit down and talk about the weddi-
"well I was thinking perhaps a simple church, what do you think?" Castle interrupted my thoughts with his question
"Castle when have we ever been simple?. No I think we need somewhere that is special to us."
"Do you have any ideas because I am empty"
"really Castle, out of ideas, this must be a first" I joked
"very funny Kate, we both know you find my crazy theories and ideas hot."
" do not."
"do so.
"do not" I said louder. Castle just shook his head
"liar." castle joked.
" anyway, whether I find it hot or not I have no ideas either. There was a long silence before Castle shot up from the couch and his face lit up before he sat back down and held onto my hand.
" I know the perfect place."
