Heyy! Here it is my first fanfic ever. I'm new in this thing and I don't usually write, but I wanted to give it a try :)

I would appreciate some reviews and comments to know if it's worth writting. Another thing I have to say is that English isn't my native language, so if you find some mistake let me know! Hope you like it!

Inês :D

She was staring at the window enjoying the view for about 10 minutes when he finally wakes up.

"Good morning, beautiful sunshine!" Rick said with a puppy face trying to avoid what happened last night.

"Hey!" Kate responded without taking her eyes from the view.

"You're thinking about last night, aren't you?" Rick asked her, knowing that he couldn't avoid the subject.

"No… I mean, I'm worried about Gates" and Kate turned around to face Rick.

"Babe, you don't need to worry about that. I'll fix it! After all, I'm Richard Castle" and then Kate cut him off "Yeah, that's why I'm worried about" she said with a kinky smile.

"Oh, don't say that. You'll see… Gates will congrat us and will be happy for us!" Rick said trying to cheer up Kate, but it seemed not working out.

"Yeah, and after that she will fire me, or kick you out from the precinct, and then we won't have any time to be together, because I'm working and you'll be occupied writing your next book. Do you still remember that the publisher want something written until next Friday, don't you?" Kate said worried about the mess.

"Kate, don't worry. Everything will be okay. We will be okay. If you want to, I can call the mayor and…" and Kate interrupts him.

"Cas, Gates won't bite that one again. She isn't afraid of that mayor thing that you always had for an excuse to be in the precinct. She'll kick you out, or since we're talking about Gates, she'll suspend me, because we have been lying to her."

"Hey, hey, hey… "said Castle trying to comfort her. "Nothing, but NOTHING, will tear us apart! I love you and I'll do whatever I can to spend the rest of my life with you!" he said waiting for her to say the L word.

"I know Rick… I know!" and she hugs him, knowing what he was expecting from him, but she just wasn't ready to say what he wanted. She was almost ready, but not on that moment.

But Castle thought that was the perfect moment to talk about that.

"Katherine, hum…" said Castle hesitating.

"What's going on?" she asked as she pulled away from Castle's arms, and going straight to her closet to figure out what she was going to wear (and trying to avoid the conversation).

"I wanted to talk with you about… something."

"Hmm… " Kate nodded as she was trying her new white blouse that Rick gave her last night for their 7th month anniversary. Castle had always a pretext to celebrate their love, like last week, when he gave her a bunch of flowers (because Kate liked simple things) due to their 3rd month that he cooked for the first time for Kate. "What Castle? What's going on?"

"You know that I love you, right?"

"Yeah…" she answered raising her left eyebrow.

"And I would do everything to you, right?"

"Castle, you're annoying me. Go straight to the point!"

"Yeah… so why don't you say that you love me, too?" and then Rick finally said it. He couldn't avoid that for long time. He said it, maybe he was screwed, but he thought that was worth to bring that up now. Yeah, he thought…

Kate just gave him "the look" to Castle, and he realized that he was really screwed.

"Why did you have to bring that up now?" Kate asked very upset.

"Ahm, I don't know… maybe because we've been in this relationship for 7 months and you didn't said the L word yet?"

"Seriously? Are you just kidding with me or else? Do you know why I didn't told you already that? I'll let you know then. When I was dating Josh I…" and then something interrupts the conversation. It was a call from Espo. There had been a murder in downtown. Kate picked up the phone "Beckett… yeah, okei. I'll be there in 20 with… " Kate stopped for a second looking at Castle, giving him "the look" again. "I'll be there soon." She hangs up and walks to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Castle knew that he was screwed but he really needed to know why didn't she already said those little 3 words, with so much meaning.

"Babe? Are you still there? I'm going to hurry, and get dressed to go out with you to the crime scene." Castle said hoping for her answer. But then, Castle heard the door closing. Now, he really knew that he was screwed.

Thoughts? :D
