A/N: All rights go the producers of ABC's Castle. Hope you like it so read and review. Keep in mind this being my second Castle fan fiction. Thanks!
It had been another long day at the Precinct. Castle, Beckett, and the rest of the team had been on a vigorous case all week. Castle and Beckett were especially glad it was over. The case had involved longer hours than usual and very little time for them to themselves. It was only after Castle had looked deeper into the records they had been going over did they find something worth looking at again. The case had been involving an old colleague of Castle's and the murder of his girlfriend. Castle's old colleague had staged the murder to look as if his brother, Adam who was also an ex of the victim, had killed her out of jealousy.
Castle and Beckett were now relaxing in the bedroom of Castle's loft as Beckett read the latest Nikki Heat transcript Castle had been so vigorously working on lately, depicting Nikki and Jameson's latest adventure/case. Castle had been hiding it from her and working on it for weeks so she knew he didn't want her to read it…at least not yet anyway. This was exactly why she was reading it now before Castle could come in and catch her in the act.
Castle enters the bedroom just as Beckett has enough time to slam the transcript shut and hide it under the covers.
"So what are you reading there?"
"Nothing…it was nothing."
"Really…so not even my latest Nikki Heat transcript?"
"Now why would you assume that Castle?"
Castle reached under the covers, whipping out the transcript entitled "Turning up the Heat" from where Beckett had hid it in the sheets.
"Oh you meant that transcript?"
"Yes this one….the one I told you I didn't want you or anyone else reading yet."
"Who says I was even reading it?"
"So it just happened to be under the covers when the last place I had it was in a folder labeled Do Not Touch on my desk? Come on Beckett."
"How'd you know I had it?"
"That's because I know you so well."
Beckett gives him a look.
"That and you looked slightly guilty when I came in. Plus I saw you shove something under there."
Castle pulls back the covers and hops in next to Beckett.
"So I was thinking…."
"That's never good. So what crazy theory or conspiracy have you come up with this time?"
"Oh nothing. I just figured after the long week at the Precinct this week and what with it being a three day weekend, maybe we could do something this weekend."
"What are you thinking Castle?"
"I was thinking maybe we could go back up to the Hamptons or maybe…go skiing."
"Since when do you ski?"
"Since always. I just thought after the long week we would want to spend the weekend doing something together. You know especially what with not being able to spend a lot of time to ourselves what with this case and all."
"Okay sure."
"Really? You want to?"
"Yup but Castle there is one thing you should know."
"What's that?"
"I am an excellent skier."
Castle pondered this thought for a moment. If she thought she could beat him at skiing she was wrong. Of course he had never skied not once in his life of course he didn't mention this to Beckett. Besides it was just skiing. How hard could it be?
