After a long day of work in the precinct, Katherine Beckett was heading home. But she didn't know there was a surprise waiting for her…
Disclaimer: I don't own Castle, nor anything you may recognize. Enjoy !
Chapter 1:
Kate had just arrived to her apartment, and went to change into more comfortable clothes, when she heard a knock at her door. At the same time, her phone vibrated and the screen lit up showing she had a message.
-Please, no dead body, no dead body… - she thought while she grabbed the phone. Immediately, her face lit up with joy as she saw it was from Castle.
The message said: "NY, OPEN THE DOOR."
She giggled remembering he always said just "NY" because he wasn't a cop, but didn't want to feel left aside.
-I'M COMING! – She said, not noticing she had left her diary on top of the coffee table.
She opened the door and greeted Castle, telling him to come in and sit.
-So Castle, what are you doing here? - She asked with a glint of amusement in her eyes.
-I missed you, my dear detective. - He said nonchalantly while Kate blushed lightly.
-Hmm… that's sweet, Castle. But seriously what are you doing here?
-As I said before, detective, I missed you. I've nothing to hide. – He said. - But what about you? What's this, what do we have here? – Castle said, while he grabbed Kate's diary. - A diary? A treasure map? OH... I know! The book of Katherine Beckett's secrets?
-Castle! Leave THE NOTEBOOK where it was.
-OH…! THE notebook… Interesting… sounds like a movie's name: "THE NOTEBOOK." Let's see if its content is worth for a movie…
-Castle. Don't even think about it. You know I own a gun right?
-Huh. You'll never shoot me. You care too much about me do to that.- He said with a sufficient smile in his face.
-Of course, I CARE ABOUT YOU, RICK! – She pleaded. – But please, leave it alone. – Kate said, with tears filling her eyes.
-Kate, it's okay, I'll respect your decision. But what is it about? You? Your mom's case? Please, Kate. I just want to help.
-Rick… It hurts. Hurts to think about my mom.- A tear falls from her eye.- Please, Rick. Don't make me do this.
Rick gives a brief look to the notebook, and then looks to Kate. A photography of Kate and her mom falls from the notebook.
-I'm sorry, Kate. I really am. – He moves closer to her to hug Kate, but she pushes him away.
-Castle? – She says, and her voice breaks.
-Yeah, Kate?
-Get out of my apartment. NOW. – Kate says, trying to control and stop herself from crying, but it's impossible to her to control if Castle is close.
-Okay, Kate. I'll leave. But if you need anything, ANYTHING at all, just give me a call.
Castle looks at her briefly, and then goes out, and closes the door silently. In the moment Castle was out, Kate sits next to the door, and lets the tears fall free.
