"Can you give me sometime… space… I mean alone for just one week" Kate said not looking at him.

"Why? Your running again don't you? Castle asked looking at her anger rising to his chest that might explode if she didn't explain to him why she is asking space.

"I'm not, okay!" she said snapping her eyes glared at him like she can't believe his accusing her of running like he is assuming she is building her a wall again.

"Then why don't you tell me why your asking for space?" he asked

"Just don't ask why, I can't tell you, not now." Pleading him to just understand her decision to give her space.

"Did I do something? That's why your asking to not see you for one week?" He asked solemnly to her, because he can't be able to function without seeing her in a day let alone for one week.

"No, babe, listen you didn't do anything, I just need this 1 week for myself, a week and I promise you I will tell you everything okay. Please, just trust me" she said taking his hand into her lap, gripping it tighten.

"So this is mean that I cannot go to the precinct?" He asked her defeated showing at his face.

"Just one week, that's all im asking for and after that everything will back to normal." Smiling at him leaning to him to give him a kiss.

"But I don't know what to do for a week. I fight for Gina to cancel one of my book signing so I can spend time more with you." Pouting while his hand run into his face.

"Then stay home, write more chapter, anything just so your mind occupied." Kate said to him straddling him putting her hand to his neck then kissed him hard then lead him to the bedroom.

Day 1

"Ahhhhhh," he groaned. It's one day and he is going crazy not seeing the love of his life. He needs to get out the loft because if not he cannot trust himself to not do something stupid. He takes his key and his wallet rushing to the door to go somewhere he doesn't know where.

He found himself parking his car into some fancy bar. He made his way inside and look around the place and he is amaze that its pleasant and good ambiance. He is going his way to the bar when he notice a woman wearing a sexy dress talking to a bartender. When he came face to face to the woman he saw her eyes widen, shock and smile coming to her lips and rush into him that might knock him down.

"Oh my God! Xander" She exclaimed tighten the hug more to him.

"Can't breathe." He said to her gasping for air he thinks that he might pass out of the woman hold.

"Oh, I'm sorry, sorry" loosening her hold but immediately put her two hands to his face and kissed him on the lips. Shock by her actions he didn't react fast so she deepen the kiss but his senses coming to him after a second then pull away from her.

"Amanda!" He exclaimed.

"Xander! I miss you. Oh My God!" she said to pulling him closer again to hug him. But Castle beat her and hug her tight like she did the first time.

"Wow, how are you? I Mean what are you doing here, I haven't seen you since Alexis birth after that you disappeared." Still hugging her while asking her which he wanted to asked to her in years.

"Wait, slow down… one question, one answer at a time". She said to him while pulling away so she can take a look at him, he haven't change. She thought. He is still the man she knew when they were in College.

"Well 20 years have passed and I have a lot of question." He said to her loudly.

"Xander! Keep your voice down. Please. Why don't we sit and have a drink then we can talk like the old times." She said leading him to the table where she is sitting before he run into him.

"I would love to. But your not off the hook for ditching me for 20 years" He said followed her to the table. This will be interesting. He thought.

They didn't know that someone took a picture of them. That will cause trouble later on.
