A/N- this is my first attempt at a castle fanfiction, please be gently but I would love your constructive criticism. Hope you like it.

Kate Beckett walked into the coffee show, today was like every other day. She would go to the same coffee shop by the precinct, order the same coffee and everyday she would walk to the precinct and begin her day as a New York City Detective. She loved her job, she loved being able to wake up every day and give families who lost their loved ones closure. It's something she never got when her mother was killed; it's something she always hoped she would get. But until that day she was happy helping other people find closure. So she did everything she normally did that day, but little did she know it wasn't going to be a normal day at all.

She walked up to the register, ordered a Grande skim latte, two pumps sugar free vanilla and a bear claw, and paid. When her order was called she moved to the counter to pick it up. She turned around quickly, and ran into a man, spilling her coffee all over his white shirt. She felt ridiculous but when she looked up to meet the man's eyes she found herself staring into the most captivating blue orbs she had ever seen, they actually took her break away.

Her breathe was caught in her throat and she was finding it hard to form coherent sentences, but she was finally able to form words after looking away from his beautiful blue eyes and back at his coffee stained shirt.

"I'm so sorry, I can't believe I just did that, your shirt is ruined now. " She said pretty much all in one breath. She just couldn't get over how captivating his eyes were. She grabbed a napkin and began to wipe his shirt, feeling his toned chest under the coffee stained shirt.

"It's fine, I probably should have been watching where I was going" the man with the blue eyes said.

"No it's my fault let me buy you a coffee to make up for the shirt." Kate said quickly, she was so nervous and she didn't know why.

"No really it's okay."

"Please, it's the least I can do" she said finally looking back into his eyes.

"Fine go ahead, but only if you sit and drink it with me." He said with a smile.

"Okay, my name is Kate by the way." She said quickly.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Kate" he said extending his hand, which she took, the moment their hands met she felt a spark that she had never felt before. "I'm Rick."
