Right so I've decided to start a new story, I will be continuing with Coffee and A New Dawn and all the other stories but I wanted to write something new as I'm bored of the summer holidays and therefore I decided to write this. I really hope you enjoy it and I promise, although it doesn't seem like it, it will be different to the Coffee series.

Also I really want to hear from you, your reviews mean a lot to me and I need to know whether you want more or not.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you" Kate squealed as she stared at the sign in the bookstore window. Richard Castle, her favourite author, was signing books that very day and her boyfriend had surprised her by sneaking her here on her lunch break. Turning around to look at Will, Kate smiled as he laughed before leaning across to kiss her gently while the brunette clung onto the copy of the writer's book that she kept within her purse at all times. He knew this one was her favourite- mainly because of its well-read state and the water marks from her frequent bath reading sessions. "I thought you wanted to go for lunch, you told me that you wanted to go for lunch" she stated as Will shrugged, knowing that this meant a lot to her. He always caught her with a Richard Castle book when she was having down time on the couch and he couldn't pass the opportunity to make Kate happy by giving her this chance. A chance to talk to Richard Castle for the first time in her life!

"We'll go for lunch afterwards Kate, I told Montgomery you had a dentist appointment after lunch anyway so no one is going to miss you if we're really late" Will stated as she tightly wrapped her arms around his neck before pressing another kiss to his cheek and smiling up at him. He was definitely the best boyfriend she'd ever had in whole life. He understood the job and therefore didn't mind if she cancelled last minute and he also understood her. He understood how she worked and she loved that he didn't get angry or frustrated when she cancelled their plans last minute, usually because a case had been too hard and all she wanted was a bath and time to read her book alone. "Now go before the queue gets too long" he ordered as she laughed and nodded, quickly climbing out of the car before moving to shut the door. "Are you forgetting something?" he asked as she stared at him in confusion for a moment.

"What?" she asked quickly, laughing when he patted his middle finger against his lips while she rolled her eyes. "I'm sure you're just doing this for sexual favours Will Sorenson" she stated before leaning across to kiss him gently.

"Would you care if I was Beckett? You know you love the physical part of a relationship just as much as I do" he teased as she watched him for a moment, knowing that he was probably right. Did she really care about him doing this for sex? "Go, I'm going to wait for you so the longer you're here, the longer I'm bored" he warned as Kate laughed and quickly moved out of the car before slamming the door shut and walking towards the store. Pushing the door open, Kate sighed as she joined the long crowd of mainly women, unable to see the writer from where she was stood. It was obvious that Richard Castle who popular among the woman seeing that the building was filled with women in their best outfits with their arms tightly wrapped around their books. Lifting up her wrist, Kate sighed as she stared at the time her father's watch was saying before she looked across at the large line in front of her. She was going to be here for a while!

XOXOXOXOXOXOOX

"Next" a woman stated as Kate bit into her lip before approaching the desk to see the writer staring across at her with a small smile covering his face as she held her book out towards him, losing all her words. She must look like a complete idiot!

"Hi" the writer smiled as she bit into her lip for a moment. "Your name?" he asked, keeping the smile on his face as she continued to watch him for a moment.

"Beckett" she stated before groaning, realising that she wasn't at work. He wasn't a cop so why had she told him her last name? He was Richard bloody Castle and she'd already embarrassed herself twice within practically a minute.

"That's an interesting name" he laughed as she rolled her eyes at him.

"It's Katherine, Kate actually, Kate Beckett. Hi, I'm Kate" she blurted out as he nodded and slowly scribbled something into the front page of her book before smiling up at her for a moment, desperately trying not to laugh at her speech. "I'm sorry, I don't normally do these things I promise" she admitted as he laughed gently before shutting the book and staring at her, keeping the book on his desk as she waited patiently. Why wouldn't he just give her the book so she could leave and stop embarrassing herself?

"This isn't the new book" he stated as he looked down at the tattered copy before looking across at the name of his newest book that was covering the area he was sat around. However her book was clearly well loved and he couldn't help but smile at that.

"I know but this one's my favourite actually, I've read it about twenty times and I really wanted to get it signed" she explained as he nodded again as he lifted the book into his hands. "I know it's not the nicest looking book" Kate admitted as he shrugged.

"It's well loved, I like it when the book tells a story" he stated as she laughed again.

"What story does my book tell you then Richard Castle?" she asked, finally gaining the courage that she usually had at work. She could chase murderers but struggled to talk to her favourite writer like a sane person meaning there was clearly something wrong with her. Staring at the book in silence for a moment, Rick sighed as he relaxed back in his chair and watched her; knowing that Gina was starting to worry about him spending too much time with this one woman when the queue continued to grow.

"You have a job that takes up a lot of your time but when you have the chance you like to take some time to relax properly. You're one of those women who like their bubble baths and a glass of wine and a good book to read" he grinned as she laughed; realising that he'd described her to perfection. "Sometimes, you fall asleep in the bath because your job is tiring and you'll sleep wherever you get the chance" he added as she bit into her lip. "And even though this copy is practically ruined, you're keeping it because there's some personal attachment to it" he stated as she shut her eyes. How did he know that? How could he get that from a book?

"How did you get all of that from a book?" she asked quietly as he opened one of the pages to reveal the wine stains that were decorating the crinkled pages. "What about the personal attachment? How did you work it out?" she questioned as the writer smiled at her for a moment before changing the page to reveal the message she'd written years ago.

"Mom, he's finally written another one. See you in a couple of days when you reappear from your room saying how amazing his books are again before attempting to persuade me to read them! Maybe this time I will, love Katie" he read as she felt the tears appear in her eyes. Shit! She couldn't cry; she wasn't going to cry at her own message. Shutting her eyes for a moment, Kate quickly calmed herself before looking across at the writer again who was still flicking through her book. "Don't think that you know me because of that" she stated, remaining quiet as he finished writing a message before shutting the book and passing it to her. "Thank you" she whispered quietly, wanting to take back what she'd just said. She sounded selfish and she hated herself for that! He'd only done what she'd asked him to do and now she was being mean to him about it!

"It was nice meeting you Kate" he admitted as she smiled weakly.

"It was nice meeting you too, thank you for signing the book Mr Castle" she declared before slowly moving away from him. Turning around when she was a decent distance away, Kate bit into her lip as she watched the writer talk to a leggy blonde with a large smile covering his face. He was one of those men! Sighing, the brunette quickly turned around before leaving the store to see Will relaxing back in his seat with his eyes shut. She had abandoned him for an hour and a half to embarrass herself in front of an author she would never see again! Opening the car door, Kate quickly climbed in before shutting the door and staring across at her boyfriend whose eyes had opened and were now focused on her.

"So how was it?" he asked as she shut her eyes for a moment. "Come on, what did he write in your book Kate?" he questioned as he attempted to take it from her, kind of shocked when she pressed it close to her chest. Opening it slowly, Kate sighed as she watched him for a moment, unable to stop herself from blushing at the message. "Come on Kate, tell me what he wrote" Will moaned as she laughed at him for a moment. "It's nothing embarrassing is it?" he asked as she shook her head. "Did he try and ask you out because if I need to go in there and tell him that you're already in a serious relationship then I will?" he declared as she rolled her eyes at her boyfriend.

"Beckett, you need more wine and bubble bath time! Thank you for not being afraid to bring what you wanted instead of what was expected, never lose that! Richard Castle" she read as Will rolled his eyes before sighing and turning the car on, not noticing the piece of scrap paper that Kate had found with her message that contained a phone number and a small message.

Maybe I can get to know you better one day and I can learn a few more stories your books hold Beckett, you really do seem extraordinary. Richard Castle.
