This is my first fanfic ever, so it's probably not too great. I tried to stay true to the characters, and since I just had a Castle marathon it should have helped at least a bit. Please review and tell me any grammar/spelling mistakes because I check a billion times but I'm positive there are things I missed. Thanks so much for reading. I don't own Castle or the Castle characters :( and with out further delay... Spoiler Alert!

At one second it was just an argument, the next his lips pressed against hers and his arms locked around her. She found herself becoming fluid, giving into the kiss, as her arms sprouted up like weeds tangling themselves around his neck so her fingers would tickle the ends of his hair. And, in response, he pressed her even harder to him, as if he could mold two into one with enough pressure.

For one moment they fulfilled a drawn out dream, and then Kate woke up. Breaking off the kiss, she stepped back holding Castle at an arm's length away, as if that could truly stop him.

"What… what the hell was that?"

"I thought… well, um" Castle stuttered, "I don't know."

"You don't know?" For some reason this infuriated Kate, "God Castle, you didn't think? Of course you didn't, you never think! Why do you always have to screw everything up? Why can't you just leave them how they are? Did you even think about the fact we're both taken? Us doesn't have a chance right now because I have Josh, and you have Gina."

He shutdown. All the life in his eyes drained as Castle painfully responded, "Why can't we have a chance? Gina and I well, we're complicated. We haven't spoken in weeks. Why won't you try to see what's always been there Kate? There has always been something between us, everybody sees it. Why can't you just dip your toes into the water for a turn?"

"I can't," The unwanted tears welled up behind Beckett's eyes, "I can't because I made a commitment to Josh, and I'm not about to end something with a great guy who loves me, and will always be there for me because you want to 'give us a chance'. I see how you are with other women. You haven't had a steady relationship since we've met! I don't want to be just another one of them, and I won't be."

"Kate…"

"God! Stop calling me Kate!"

"Fine, but Beckett I love you. Period. And you know that I would never hurt you. So, as soon as you choose to accept that give me a call, but until then, this is good-bye"
