Admiring.

That's all Richard Castle could do was admire the sound of every single word that came out of Kate Beckett's mouth. He closely watched the way her lips were moving. And how she took her breaths, not too sharp and not lifeless. Every word she said was in excitement and he listened to the slight tone changes.

In his mind everything was in slow motion because he didn't want to miss a single detail. The way her hair fell back into place from the movement of the cab made Castle want to have his fingers entangled throughout it. To be able to touch her hair again would be an honor. Heck, to get the chance to touch her again in general would be an honor.

He was remembering their kiss and the small moan she let out and accidentally started ignoring her without realizing it. But that one sound made him know that in that moment, the kiss was no longer a decoy. If she didn't let out the noise, he would have shrugged it off as nothing. But she did and he couldn't help daydream about it whenever he was near her.

"Castle are you coming?" she peaked her head in the cab.

"Oh yeah!" he unbuckled himself and got out.

They locked arms and casually walked into the Angelika to purchase their tickets.

The immediate smell of the popcorn made Castle's mouth water. He glanced at the beautiful woman on his arm.

"Let's get some popcorn." The child side of him was smiling wide when they hit the counter.

Castle started daydreaming again when he watched the young boy pour butter on the popcorn. He imagined himself pouring warm chocolate syrup over Beckett's naked body.

"Castle?" her voice drew him from his daydream.

"What?" he nearly whispered which confused Beckett, but she let it slide.

"I asked you what size popcorn you wanted." One of her eyebrows rose which made him laugh on the inside.

"Oh. Large." he answered.

Quickly, he withdrew his wallet to pay for the popcorn and soda, but Beckett handed the young boy the money before he could fish it out. Stunned, Castle picked up his drink and popcorn. He followed her over to get straws and napkins.

"You didn't have to pay for this you know." he felt like he had to let her know this. It's not normal for him to have the girl the pay.

"I told you it was my treat." she smiled as she picked up her straw. "Come on. I think it's starting."

Castle walked behind her. He admired the way she swiftly moved her hips when she walked. If only he could place his hands on them just once..

"Castle!"

Confusion ran through him at the sound of his name. He looked slightly above from where his eyes were laid to be met with Beckett's green eyes.

"What?" he whispered slightly.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I'm fine. Why do you ask?"

He could tell that Beckett was studying the expression on his face. Quickly, he hid all clues of what he was thinking about. She was a very fine detective and could read people easily. The last thing he wanted was for her to know how he churned up the feelings he had once put away. Right now would be a bad time for her to find out about how he really felt about her. It would ruin their night.

"It's nothing." she shrugged it off and went back to looking for a pair of seats. "Is this good?" she asked.

"Fine by me." he answered. In reality he didn't care where they sat. As long as he was sitting by her, nothing else mattered.

While the movie was playing, Castle didn't pay much attention to it. He already memorized this film ages ago. Instead he watched how Beckett's expressions changed during each scene. The way her eyes glimmered from the light on the screen made him awe at her. Whenever she turned her head to look at him he would act like he was reaching for more popcorn so he didn't give away what he was really doing.

Every so often when he actually watched the movie, their fingers would brush causing him to slightly hold his breath. He wondered if Beckett was doing the same.

Probably not seeing that she has a boyfriend. A young, handsome man who is never there for her like him. He's always there for her and he will never not be, but Josh made him angry all the time. His stupid bad timing was one thing and the way he upsets Beckett in front of him was another. Why was she with Josh and not him?

Before he knew it, the movie was over. He didn't want it to be over. Not yet.

Beckett stood up in front of him and gave a questioning look. "You ready?"

"Of course." he grabbed his coat and shrugged it on. "Are we going to Remy's for burgers?"

Please. Please. Please agree to go to Remy's, he thought.

Beckett checked her watch and looked up at him with an adorable smile. "Yes. I'm starved."

In the cab she questioned him on what he liked and didn't like about the movie. Good thing he had this movie memorized or she would have knew that he didn't pay attention.

When they arrived to Remy's they went in and sat down where they normally did. While they waited for their burgers they talked about random things. Family, work, his books, old movies, other countries and music that they liked.

Castle learned so many new things about Beckett that he would have never guessed. Like how she cries at the end of The Titantic, even when she prepares herself for it. He knew most girls cried at the end. Heck, he got teary-eyed because it was so moving. But this was something he was happy to know about her.

He also learned about where she would love to travel to. She without a doubt wants to go to France and Italy. One day he will invite her to go with him. They would have a blast, but hopefully she won't be with Josh much longer.

When the waitress set their burgers down in front of them, Beckett's cell phone went off. He watched how she hesitated to take it out of her purse. Why the hesitation?

"Hey." she answered and let out a small sigh.

Castle listened intently trying to decipher who was on the other line.

Maybe it was her dad. He's met Jim a couple of times and he liked him a lot. A good guy. One that cares so much about his daughter and is scared for her because of her career choice.

"Yeah.. No. I'll be home in an hour or so.. Yeah. See you then." Beckett slowly closed her phone and looked down at it.

Castle really yearned to know who she was talking to. Her body language changed because of that phone call. She was no longer loose and happily having fun. Now she was stiff and her eyes looked sad.

"Who was that?" he asked while he picked up his juicy burger and took a bigger bite than he intended. He noticed there was more hesitation in Beckett. Like she didn't want to tell him, but knew she should.

"It was Josh." she looked up at him, sadness written all over her beautiful green eyes.

He swallowed the burger hard. This was news that he wasn't fully prepared for.

"I see."

"Yeah.."

Castle watched the way Beckett slowly ate her burger. The mood of their night was ruined all because of stupid Josh. Why did he always pick the moments when they were together to intrude? Yeah, he knew that he's Beckett's boyfriend, but it still made him angry.

Once they were done eating, they paid the waitress and headed outside. The cool breeze hit Castle a lot harder than it should have. It made him realize that his and Beckett's night was basically over. He didn't want to push her to do anything else, so he rode in the cab to her apartment.

When they arrived, Josh was standing outside with a gym bag in his hand. Josh stood up when Castle walked Beckett to the curb.

"Tonight was fun." he said with a playful smile.

"It really was." she looked down at her feet and smiled as well.

Castle looked up at Josh who looked beyond angry with a hint of confusion. He wanted to laugh out loud and rub their 'date' in his face, but he knew that would make Beckett more uncomfortable than she already was.

"Well I'll see you tomorrow." he smiled once more and got back into the cab.

Castle looked out the window and noticed how Beckett watched until he was out of her view. He laid his head against the cool window and closed his eyes.

AN: I was asked to write something about their movie night. Should I continue this? Maybe put it in Beckett's view? Tell me what you guys think (:
