Chapter 1

AN: So I got this idea when I was trying to fall asleep(like all my other ideas). Well anyways, I hope you like it.

Beckett had just arrvived home after a long day cuffed to Castle. Lanie was on her way over for a girls night.

Suddenly Beckett's phone made a sound, it was a new text message.

"Tease." It was from Castle, whom she had left at the precint with the phrase Next time, lets do it without the tiger.

She was just about to answer, when Lanie knocked on the door.

"Hi sweety, I brought wine." Lanie said as she entered the apartment and gave Beckett a hug. "You've had an interesting day, or what?"

Beckett just rolled her eyes at Lanie, there were no details to tell anyways. She went back to her phone to answer Castle's text, "Took you long enough." And with that they sat down on the sofa and enjoyed a glass of wine.

As Beckett and Lanie were talking Beckett got another text.

"What?" Beckett answered rightaway "It took you long enough to come up with an answer."

"Who are you texting?" Lanie asked

"Just my dad" Beckett tried to lie her way out, knowing that Lanie would ask questions if she said who it really was.

"If that's what you say" Lanie responded like she didn't believe Beckett.

Another text message popped up. "Well... I had to start thinking with the right head."

"Now you're the one teasing." Beckett responded, put her phone down and said "I have to go the bathroom Lanie, be right back."

"Alright, I'll be here."

While Lanie was sitting there waiting for her friend another text message showed up on her friends phone. Maybe it wasn't the right thing to do, but she had to read the text, she didn't believe Beckett was texting Jim.

"Well FYI there are no lions at my apartment, not even female red-haired ones."

When Lanie read that text and that it was from Castle, she wasn't sure she had done the right thing, but she scrolled up to read the other texts. She couldn't believe her eyes, there was so much teasing here. She took a risk and typed "I'll be there in 20 w/wine."

Beckett was going to be so mad at Lanie for doing this, but Lanie knew that she would forgive her eventually.

When Beckett came back from the bathroom, Lanie was standing by the door with car keys in one hand and Beckett's phone in another.

"Where are you going Lanie?" Beckett asked, and instead of answering Lanie handed her the phone. "Looking forward to it. Chinese?" the newest text read. "What did you do Lanie?" Beckett was kind of shocked, but she couldn't say she was that mad.

"Kate, don't get mad. I noticed the text messages from Castle, and since I knew you wouldn't take the next step, I did it for you." Lanie stopped talking for a while, read Beckett's face. "So, since I haven't had more than a couple of sips of wine, I'm going to drive you to Castle's now."

"You're kidding, right?" Lanie just shook her head, so Beckett texted a short "Sure" back to Castle, and read Castle's and Lanie's conversation. She didn't really know what to say.

"I can't go like this" Beckett said

"Like what? You look perfect as always." Beckett just rolled her eyes at Lanie's comment.

"Come on, let's go. And if you haven't seen it, you're supposed to bring wine."

And with that they left Beckett's apartment.

AN: Let me know what you think!
