A/N: Okay guys sorry for the late update. Been busy with stuff and watching the new Castle episode premieres. So happy she said yes and now onto the fanfic! Enjoy!
Castle kept driving through the cold mountains in the same car that he had drove up to the Hamptons in with Beckett. Beckett had fallen asleep half way through the trip and so Castle offered to drive so she could sleep. Instead of nodding off in the back, she opted to stay in the front passenger side and had nodded off on Castle's shoulder. In between looking at the road and checking the map, Castle couldn't help smiling as he saw Kate sleeping so peacefully on his shoulder. She looked so cute, no…beautiful, when she was sleeping. Then again when was she not beautiful? She was sexy, intriguing, frustrating and all his…at least for the whole weekend. No murders, no long hours at the 12th Precinct or trying to sneak around. This weekend it would just be them and only them…just how he wanted it.
Suddenly Kate's eyes suddenly fluttered open.
"Hey good morning beautiful."
"Good Morning. Castle when did I nod off?"
"Oh you fell asleep around 1:00 A.M so I took over driving so that you could sleep."
"Aw thanks that's so sweet of you Castle."
"Well I did get something out of it as well."
"Oh what's that?"
"Well I did get to watch you sleep."
"Castle you do know how creepy that is right?"
"And you do know how adorable you look when you sleep right?"
"Only when you tell me," Kate replied as Castle pulled over and pulled him in for a long slow kiss.
"So are we there yet?"
"Yes we are."
Kate sat staring outside the window as Rick came round the car to open the passenger's side door open for her. Holding out his hand, he helped her out of the car.
"Got to be careful. It's kind of icy up here especially was on the roads coming up."
"I could have helped with the driving."
"You were tired and besides I don't mind."
Kate and Rick walk hand and hand up to the lodge where they would be spending the whole long weekend just the two of them. Castle couldn't wait to show up Kate in skiing. Well that is if he could figure out how to do it without falling over half the time.
"Hey Kate I'm going to go get our stuff from the car. Can you go check us in or do you want to wait for me to get back with our bags?"
"No actually it's okay Castle. I will go check us in. You go get our stuff and I will meet you in the lobby."
"Awesome I'll go get our things."
"Great love you."
"Love you too."
Rick and Kate gave each other a quick kiss before Rick walked out to the car to get their stuff and Beckett strolled up to the main desk to check them in to their room.
"Hi welcome to the Smoky Mountains Inn Ski Resort and Lodge how many I help you?"
"Hi I'm Kate Beckett. I am checking into my room for the weekend."
"Okay great let me get that set up for you. So that would be under Beckett?"
"It might also be under Castle…Rick or Richard Castle."
"Ah let me guess. Romantic weekend with the boyfriend?"
Beckett blushed at the thought of referring to Castle as her boyfriend, which she didn't mind. She just couldn't wrap around it. Her, a serious homicide detective, dating Richard Castle. Five years ago she could barely stand him and now here they were on their second weekend away together as an official couple.
"Um yes he's getting our stuff out of the car and I said I would check in for us."
"Okay here it is right under Richard Castle and Kate Beckett. Here are your room keys for the Imperial Deluxe Suite which is room 104. Room service opens at 8 A.M and skiing/snowboarding lessons are available at various times throughout the day. If you or he have any questions, feel free to call the main desk at any time. Someone is usually available 24/7."
"Great thank you."
Kate turns around to see Castle struggling to open the doors as he tries to carry their luggage. She couldn't help laughing and smiling at the sight of Castle witth a bag on each arm, one in his mouth as he tried to pull the door open. Stopping herself, she helps him carry the rest of their things as she also opens the door.
"Little trouble there Castle?"
"What me? No this is nothing. I just was joking around."
"You had a luggage bag in your mouth Castle."
"Point taken so are we all set and checked in to our room?"
"We sure are. We are in room 104 the Imperial Deluxe Suite."
"Great lets go unpack."
