castle sat in his chair in the 12th precinct when he saw the woman he has been chasing after for 3 years. she wore a red dress with showing enough cleavage to make castle's mouth drop to the floor. it was a cold winter's day in New York city, the wind was blowing and rain was pouring down. but that didn't bother castle because, there was Kate Beckett sitting in her chair at her desk. hey castle Kate replied. castle nodded. the team was currently working on a case, that involved a man murdered in the park with a gun shot in the chest.

any leads Esposito Kate asked, Esposito nodded and said we called the casino that our murder victim went to a week before he was killed. apparently the owner saw a man by the name of Benjamin Riley arguing with our victim about something he could not hear but, he did say it got pretty heated. alright Kate nodded and replied let's go pick him up. castle and beckett got in to Kate's police car and drove off.

when they arrived at Riley's apartment, riley was just getting there. Benjamin riley I'm detective Kate beckett I'm here to asked you some questions about Jake Gonzalez. by that time Benjamin fled. STOP Kate said but, riley kept on running till Kate caught up to him and handcuffed him. Benjamin riley you are under arrest for the murder of Jake Gonzalez Kate replied.

at the 12th precinct they took Benjamin riley to the interrogation room. look detective I didn't kill the guy riley replied, really Kate nodded. because the owner saw you with our victim a week before he was killed having a heated augment. that was just a misunderstanding riley replied. really what was the misunderstanding about? Jake stole some money a few weeks back from me. He said he needed it for a payment he had to do. I told him that it wasn't his money to take and, that I wanted it back in my account but, Jake refused. things got heated yes but, after awhile he agreed to pay me back. I was at my hotel room at the time he was murdered. Kate looked at him unconvinced, look detective if you don't believe me you can check with the door man at the hotel.

wait here Kate said, they team checked in with Riley's statement. turns out he was telling the truth.

when the day was over castle and Kate went there separate ways. castle got home, he was met by his mother Martha. oh darling how was your day at the precinct? it was fine mother castle replied. and Kathrine how is she doing? Martha asked. fine castle nodded.

meanwhile Kate was out on a date with her boyfriend Adam. the date was going well for Adam he kept talking non stop. but for Kate something just didn't feel right, deep in her heart she knew she did not want Adam. the man she did want to be with was a one Richard castle.

when the date was over Kate went home to think things over.

She knew she had feelings for castle but, she was scared. scared to let her walls down to love someone who could love her back.

castle was sitting on the couch in his own thoughts, he loved Kate with all his heart.

after his first marriage to Alexis mother he never thought he could love like that again. till Kate beckett walked into his life.

he knew he could wait for her. she was worth it in his eyes. question is will Kate ever be ready.

will Kate ever feel the same way? please review
