First Time: Chap One

Kate POV

Kate Beckett looked through the observation room. There sat her suspect. He looked so familiar. Yeah, sure, he was the world famous novelist, Richard Castle. But how he sat there, there was something about him. Now he looked to her. She knew that he couldn't see her but she blushed. At that moment she knew it. She say the same boyish smile, the same blue eyes, that she fell for so many years ago. She thought about it.

Sixteen year old Katherine Beckett was with her parent, as every year before, on vacation to the sea. It was Saturday night and her vacation friend, Nora, invited her to a party. Kate hadn't asked her parents yet, but she had changed already. She walked downstairs.

"Mom, Nora is having a party tonight. Can I go?" Kate asked her mother who sat on the couch.

"Yeah sure. Don't make it too late."

"Of course not," She gave her mother a kiss and walked to the kitchen. She gave her Dad a kiss and walked to the door.

"Bye Mom, Bye Dad." With that Kate closed the door.

"Did you have to let her go? She's only sixteen," Said he Dad to her Mom. Kate could hear them through the door and rolled her eyes. She heard her mother mumble something and couldn't make out the exact words but knew it was something in her advantage.

In five minutes she stood in front of Nora's house. The party had already begun. The door was open, so Kate walked in and before she knew what was happening, someone was hugging her. She quickly relaxed realizing that it was Nora. Kate saw someone standing behind her.

'A new boyfriend,' she thought . Her friend was a typical teenage girl. Every boy liked her, and she liked every boy. This boy was taller than her. He had big, beautiful blue eyes and brown hair. He didn't looked very different from every other boy Nora dated.

'It's certainly a very popular look,' Kate thought.

"You made it," Nora said when they broke apart.

"I couldn't miss your first party," Kate said to Nora. A girl came to Nora and whispered in her ear. Nora nodded and the girl walked away.

"They can't find something," Nora shrugged. "I have to help." With that Nora walked away Kate waited for the boy to walk away as well but was surprised when he didn't. He just stood there and stared at her. She started to feel uncomfortable.

'I have to ask him something,' She thought.

"I'm Rick, but my friends call me Ricky Ticky," The boy said and Kate laughed as he stuck out his hand.

"Ricky Ticky, I'm Kate," She said as she shook his hand.

"You come here before?" He asked.

"Every summer. You?"

"This is my first year here. My first night here. It's the first vacation I've taken alone. Well I'm not really alone. I came with my three best friends."

"That's a lot of firsts in one sentence," Kate laughed and Rick soon joined her.

"Yes," He said. A few minutes of silence passed before he asked, "Do you want something to drink? Or do you want to stay here?" He smiled as gestured to the door.

"A drink sounds nice," Kate answered. They walked to the table with drinks. "How do you know Nora?"

"My friends and I walked around to see what it looks like here, then we saw Nora talking to some girls. Dustin, one of my friends, heard her say party so he walks to her and asks if we could come. She said yes, we started to talk, and a few hours later we are here."

"Okay."

"And you?" Rick asked. "How do you know her?"

"I met her when I was six years old when my family came here for the first time. I walked around and say Nora crying, so I went over and cheered her up. After that we became really good friends. Every year we spend one week together because that's how long I'm here for. I got her message that she was having a party tonight when I got here so I came."

"Okay." The two talked for hours before they realized it was getting late.

"Do you want to dance?" Rick asked.

"I'm not really a good dancer," Kate said as she gently shook her head.

"Oh I don't think that's true," Rick answered.

"How do you know?"

"Because every girl that looks as beautiful as you do can dance. And because you've been tapping your foot with the rhythm of the music," he said looking at her foot. Kate blushed and looked away as she immediately stopped tapping her foot.

"Okay, maybe I can dance but I don't want too or maybe it's because I don't want to dance with you," She teased him.

"Or maybe you want to but think that I would disappoint you?"

Kate thought this over before answering. "Okay, one song."

"Yes, wait one second and I'll be back," He said and she watched him walk to the deejay. When he walked back, he didn't say anything. He just took her hand and walked her to the dance floor. The song stopped and a slow dance began to play. Kate knew that Rick had done it but it didn't bother her. She automatically put her hands around his neck and felt his hands on her waist. She noticed a warm shock traveling through her body and put her head on his shoulder. She heard him whisper I love this song.

She looked up right into his eyes. She wanted to say something but couldn't find the right words. She saw his head come closer so she did the same. They kissed. A sweet, long, soft, perfect kiss. The song stopped and they broke apart. She looked into his blue eyes. Everyone around them were still dancing as they stood still. For a moment Kate's eyes looked to the clock. It was way past the time that she, and her parents, had expected her home by.

"I have to go," She said. Without saying anything else to him or Nora, she began to walk away until she felt a hand stop her.

"I'll walk you home," Rick said. She looked at him and smiled. They walked next to each other, without saying anything all the way to Kate's house. There was a moment of awkwardness when Kate stopped at her door.

"I had a really great time," Rick spoke first.

"Yeah me too, we should do it again sometime."

"Yes, we should," He just stared at her. It made her uncomfortable again. "Maybe I can have your number so I can call you to do something?"

"Yeah sure," Kate smiled as they exchanged numbers. "See you soon then."

"Yes you will, until soon."

"Night." She said as she opened the door and walked in. In her room she got a text message from Nora.

I saw you with Ricky-boy! How was it?

Kate laughed and called her friend.

"Hey Katie!" Nora shouted above the music.

"Hey Nor," She didn't hear the music anymore so Nora must have walked away.

"How was your night with Rick?" Nora asked.

"Did you see everything?"

"Not everything because then I wouldn't be asking you!"

"Great," Kate smiled. "He is so nice and sweet and cute!"

"I know!"

"How was your night?"

"Oh good. I met this boy Matt. He's nice and so but not as interesting as your boy. Tell me everything!" After Kate told Nora everything, Kate lay on her bed. She heard her cell phone go off. She had received a text message from Rick.

Do you want to go to the beach tomorrow at 1 with me? If you do, I can pick you up. X

She wrote back.

I would love too! Can't wait. See you then. X

She thought and smiled. Never before had she had such a fun and great night. Or a kiss so fast after she met someone. Someone who had walked by her home but then again, there's always a first time for everything.

'It's really him!' She thought.

"You Beckett, are you going to question him or what?"

"I'm on my way," She said without looking at him. She waited a moment before she opened the door. So many questions were running through her head. 'Will he recognize me? Will he remember me? Has he ever thought about me again? Has he ever thought about anything from back then?' And her last thought before she opened the door was 'I dated Rick Castle!'

Thanks for reading! the next chap will be up soon!:D
