The First Time

"Castle just go home, please." She swallowed hard saying this; she hated kicking him out. "Beckett I'm not leaving you here alone. We just finished a huge case and you deserve some company. Besides I don't mind." She sighed; there was no way she was going to kick him out and what he said was true. The case had taken a toll on Beckett and it had taken forever to solve. And, to be honest, Beckett didn't mind his company at all. In fact, she loved it. The way his brow furrowed when he lost a level in his exciting game of angry birds, that cute boyish grin that made Becke-Woa. She thought to herself. Do I, do I l-like Castle? She shuddered then found herself dazing and staring again. Oh my god I do! She gasped and Castle looked up from his game. "Beckett what's wrong?" "I, uh, just need to get some coffee." "I'll get it," he said rising. "Uh no. it's ok I need the walk." "Um ok?" He sat back down.

Beckett heard her heels click as she walked over to the break room. She pulled out her phone and speed dialed Lanie, hoping the ME wasn't working on a corpse. The phone rang and rang until at the last moment when she finally picked up. "Hey Detective. Any specific reason why you're calling so late?" She knew Beckett so well. "Uh h-hi Lan. Listen-" "Kate what's wrong?" "Are you free for wine?" She checked her watched. "Um…Yes as a matter of fact I am. Your place or mine?" "Uh how about my place? I have a fresh bottle of white. We'll say…An hour?" "Yep. Sure. And Kate?" "Yes?" "You better spill." The line disconnected as Kate laughed at her best friend.

Kate walked back out of the break room with a hot coffee that she slurped with ease. She also carried one for Castle. "Here," she said, setting it on the left of her desk in front of him. "Oh uh thanks." She picked it up and handed it to him. Their fingers touched as they both glanced up, looking at each other. His ocean blue eyes bore right through her; making her body feel warm and like jelly. He leaned forward and hovered by her cheek, placing a chaste kiss on it before taking the coffee. Beckett flushed and put her two hands to her cheek, turning so he couldn't see them or the redness in her face. She kept her hands there, relishing his soft touch and caressing lips. Castle saw her and started stuttering, not knowing if she liked it or not. "I, uh, I'm so sorry Beckett I was just in the moment. Stupid me stupid me. I'm sorry Kate, I, uh-"She interrupted him with a gentle kiss on his lips. It wasn't hard; her lips gently ghosting over his. She pulled back and checked the time on her desktop. "Oh. Its late and I'm meeting Lanie for a chat." She blushed and wondered if he knew her chat would be about him. "Goodnight, Castle." She said, leaning over and placing a kiss on the crown of his head. "Kate-"She turned to go but he grabbed her wrist pulling her back. She turned and looked into his blue eyes, melting at the sight of him. "Call me?" He pleaded. She smiled and stared at this wonderful man in front of her. She leaned down and whispered into his ear, "Always." Picking up her stuff and heading towards the door, swaying her hips more than usual; Rick enjoying the view as she went.

Kates doorbell rang just as she was putting on a pair of old NYPD sweats. "Coming!" She yelled, heading towards the door. She opened it and welcomed Lanie in. "Hey," she said, her face puzzling as she stared at Kate. "What?" Kate looked at the floor, embarrassed. "Something's…different?" Kate blushed as Lanie laughed. She was surprised the ME wasn't a detective instead of playing with dead bodies all day. "Girl, its ok. I'm your best friend. I notice stuff." Kate relaxed a little and welcomed them into the living room, a fresh bottle of wine with two glasses on the table.

"Ok," Lanie said, sitting down, "What is this about?" "What about?" Lanie gave her that don't-you-pay-dumb-with-me look and Kate looked from her eyes to the ceiling, unable to hold her gaze. "Kate." She sighed. "Castle." "Huh?" Lanie asked puzzlement in her eyes. She thought for a minute then covered her mouth, a giant smile covering her face. "Y-you like Castle!" Kate grabbed a pillow and burrowed in it, turning on her side. "Katie!" Lanie leaned towards her and wrapped around her. "Oh my god!" "Lanie," she cooed. "Spill. Now!" She looked at Kate and she shifted up so she could sit Indian style facing her. "Ok, so-"Lanie interrupted her"-from the beginning!" "Ok ok. Well so uh I, um, caught m-myself staring at him today, quoting his ruggedly handsome lines, thinking of his boyish grin that makes him so cute and-" "Kate;" "What?" "You're rambling." "Oh," she blushed, smiling. Lanie motioned for her to continue. "So I l-left- and went to call you and get a coffee. Sort out my feelings. So I got him a coffee too and I gave it to him and-"She swallowed hard, "-and he leaned forward and, and, kissed me on the cheek." Lanie's eyes open wide. "And then he rambled on how sorry he was and I stopped him with a k-kiss." "Oh Kate!" She hugged her best friend but Kate didn't hug her back. "Kate, what's up now?" "I, I, uh, I told him I would call him." Lanie rolled her eyes. "OK, so what are you waiting for?" "Huh?" "Go call him girl!" Lanie picked up the phone and handed it to Kate. With her shaky hands she dialed Ricks number. It rang once or twice and he picked up. "Hi, this is Castle-" "Hey Rick; it's Kate."
