AN: this is based off a prompt from castlefanficprompts blog: My marriage has been awful for the last five years, and to get away I lie about a business trip and instead go to Vegas-I meet you, and you're a tease from the start, but you draw me in each day and night I spend with you there. I leave after three days, thinking I'll never see you again, but I come home and you end up being my new neighbor right next door-also married

Kate finally pulled up to her apartment after a long stressful day at work. They had been working the same case for the better part of a weak and had finally caught the killer. She put her car into park and turned the key in the ignition, effectively turning off her car. Sitting in the drivers seat, she took a moment to collect herself before getting out of the car.

Kate had been married to Josh now for a little over six years. As she looked back on her relationship with her husband, she realized that they got married more out of convenience then for love. While she thought at the beginning that she loved him, she realized now that she was more in love with the idea of him. He was a cardiac surgeon and flew all over the world doing doctors without borders.

Kate took a deep breath and got out of her car. She entered her building and headed straight for the elevator. Once inside the elevator she pressed the button for her floor. Standing in the car she hoped that Josh had some surgery or something else at the hospital so that she wouldn't have to see him.

Exiting the elevator and heading down the hall to her door she noticed boxes littering the hallway outside her neighbours door. Thinking that her neighbours were finally moving Kate unlocked the door to her apartment. Stepping into the dark apartment Kate slipped off her heels and headed towards her bedroom to lock away her gun and badge.

Kate made her way back through to the kitchen and began searching for something to make for dinner. While looking through her fridge her phone chimed

Hey. Just finished at the hospital, on my way home. Do you want me to pick up and dinner? – Josh

Great thought Kate sarcastically, just what she wanted, spend the evening with her husband.

No. I already ate. Just going to bed now. I had a long day, please be quiet when you get in. – Kate

She texted back. Kate really wasn't interested in eating anymore, she just wanted to shower and get a good nights sleep. In the shower Kate couldn't help but think that she couldn't go on living like this. She needed to get away, just for a little bit, clear her head and take some time to herself to relax. Getting out of the shower she made up her mind she would take a little vacation, alone to clear her head.

Kate woke up very early the next morning, she check to make sure he husband was still asleep then slowly extracted herself from their bed. The first thing Kate did was call the precinct and get some time off. She then grabbed her laptop and booked a flight to Las Vegas, thinking that Vegas would be the perfect place to go and clear her head. With that done Kate began to make breakfast, which consisted of a large cup of coffee, yogurt and fresh fruit. As she made her breakfast she heard the shower turn on, and assumed Josh was awake and getting ready for another day at the hospital.

Just as Kate was finishing her breakfast, the shower turned off and josh wandered into the kitchen wearing a pair of dress pants.

"Hey, any coffee left?" he asked Kate as he headed in the direction of the fridge

"Uh yeh, there's some still in the pot," Kate pointed out "Um listen Josh, there's something I have to tell you," she continued.

"Um, Ok what is it?" Josh asked leaning back on the counter with a now steaming mug of coffee in his hand.

"I have a conference coming up, I'm leaving today. I'm sorry I forgot to tell you. I will be gone for three days," explained Kate.

"Oh ok. What time do you leave today? Do you need a ride to the airport?" he asked solemnly

"The flight leaves at 2pm, so I should finish packing and be on my way. No thanks, I think I will just catch a cab. Have a nice day at work," said Kate.

She quickly turned on her heel and headed back towards their bedroom, if she wanted to make her flight she had better start packing. No less then five minutes later Kate heard the front door of the apartment click shut. She heaved a sigh of relief knowing that he was finally gone. She turned back to her dresser and opened the drawers, wondering if she should pack some of her sexier underwear "What the hell," she thought and threw in a few of her sexier panties and bras, while she was at it she threw in one of her skimpier bikinis. With her suitcase packed she left her apartment and hailed a cab
