So, I decided to add another chapter to this story, but it will be the last one! All it really consists of is Caskett cuteness, nothing significant. I'm not very pleased with it, but oh well. It's quite short too!
But please review anyways!
And I know people have been commenting on the spacing in the previous chapter, but when I tried to fix it, nothing changed. I think the same is with this chapter, so I apologize in advance. I don't know what I am doing to fix the spacing since I'm new to this, so if you have any suggestions, please let me know!
Thanks, I hope you enjoy it :)
They continued to kiss for a while, both being extremely content with everything. They finally admitted their feelings for each other, it took them 3 years but
better late than never, right? Their soft kisses quickly deepened with passion, they couldn't get enough of one another. Castle's hands moved from cupping
her face gently, to wrapping his arms around her waist to pull her in close. Kate's arms were wrapped around his neck securely, her hands still playing in his
soft, brown hair. They continued their activities for a few minutes, until a random person walking by yelled "get a room!" They quickly stopped both turning
bright red as they took in their surroundings and realized they were in public. As soon as Kate and Rick looked at each other, they broke out laughing, acting
like a couple of teenagers who were just caught. Once their laughter died down, they continued to stare into each other's eyes. All the pain and hurt that was
there before was replaced with love and happiness. Without saying a word, his strong, long arms enveloped her into a tight hug, as she wrapped her arms
around his waist, just as tight. They couldn't ask for more, they were just so happy to finally be here...together. Their moment was ruined not too long after
when they heard a familiar annoying voice.
"Ricky! There you are I've been looking for you!"
They both turned to see the blonde walking towards them; they quickly unraveled themselves from the embrace, but stood close to each other as
reassurance that they were both there and not going anywhere.
Castle spoke up with a bit of annoyance in his voice which only Beckett seemed to notice. Once partners, always partners.
"Jacinda...hey. Uhm, sorry, I had to take care of some very important business." He said, as he turned to look at Beckett and give her a quick, loving smile.
"It's fine Ricky! But let's go home now." Jacinda replied with a whining tone. God, how did he ever deal with that voice, Kate thought.
"Uh, look Jacinda, I'm sorry but I can't. I...this...was a mistake. The truth is, I've been madly in love with this other woman for years now and that's never
going to change. I led you on, and I'm really sorry for that, but I can't keep us going, it's not fair to you."
There was a moment of silence, as both Kate and Rick looked at Jacinda, expecting her to blow up, but instead she just shrugged and said "meh, oh well,
there was this other guy checking me out in the bar anyways." And without another word, she walked away.
Kate and Rick were stunned, but seconds later, a fit of giggles ruptured out of them. As they calmed down, Rick just looked at Kate and leaned down to press
a soft kiss to her lips, as she returned it. They both pulled away, and just hugged each other, enjoying all of this.
It wasn't too cold outside so they went for walk. After about 15 minutes of walking and holding each other, while stealing a few kisses here and there, they
finally reached Beckett's apartment. They decided to go back to her place since it was closer and they would have more privacy. Not that Kate didn't like
having Martha and Alexis around, it was just that their relationship was very new, so they just wanted time to wrap their heads around everything and maybe
even celebrate their new found relationship.
The elevator ride up was private and therefore consisted of a lot of cuddling and kissing. Once they reached her floor, Kate stepped out first with Castle close
behind her, as always.
Kate opened the door to the apartment and as soon as Castle closed the door behind him, he swiftly pulled her to him by her wrist, kissing her. They stayed
like that for a few minutes, fingers intertwined, not being able to get enough of one another. Kate reluctantly pulled back first though, convincing him that
they should at least get their shoes and coats off and settle down. He agreed, but not before giving her another kiss. Kate smiled into the kiss, she was just
so happy. She dreamed about this for years and it was finally coming true.
Once getting their coats and shoes off, Castle declined the offer of anything to eat, so she ended up pouring two glasses of wine for them instead.
They settled down on the couch, snuggling up together. They sat in a comfortable silence for a few minutes, enjoying the company of one another, until
Castle spoke up.
"I'm really happy right now...with everything." He said, as he gently kissed her temple.
Kate smiled. She placed her glass of wine down on the table before she turned on her knees on the couch to face him completely. She smiled then replied.
"Me too, Rick. I'm glad that we're finally giving "us" a chance."
Before he could say anything, she started talking again.
"And, I really am sorry for lying to you. I promise that from now onwards I'll be completely honest. I want this Rick, more than anything. I'm prepared to put
everything in to make this work."
Castle smiled, wider than ever before, the woman of his dreams saying this to him? It could not be real. But it was, she was here, and they were together,
finally. He couldn't express how much he loved this woman, so instead he decided to show her. He cupped her face and pulled her in for a deep and
passionate kiss.
Once they finally pulled away, Kate began to speak again.
"Also, I'm sorry for waiting so long for this, for making you wait. If I wasn't so afraid, we could have started this years ago..."
Before she could continue, Castle interrupted.
"Kate, listen to me. I don't regret waiting this long at all. I mean so much happened over the years, but all that brought us here. Everything that has
happened has made us...this relationship, a lot stronger. And just remember, the best things in life, are worth waiting for."
Kate couldn't believe how much she loved this man. He always knew exactly what to say, well he was a writer, but something about his words, made her
heart melt.
She didn't know what to say, so instead she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him hard. He returned the kiss with just as much passion. She got
up a little, making sure not breaking the kiss, so she could situate herself with her knees on either side of his hips, straddling him. Her hands made its way
from his neck down to his chest, moving them up and down. His hands found their way under her shirt, rubbing her bare back.
Their heated make out session continued as she began to unbutton his shirt and slowly roll her hips. This caused moans to escape their mouths. Before she
could finish unbuttoning his shirt she pulled away, a little out of breath. He took this opportunity to move his soft lips down to her neck, kissing that spot
which drove her crazy. She let out a moan. Before she got lost into what he was doing to her, she spoke up.
"Mmm...Castle. Uhm...maybe we should take this to another room."
He nodded, while continuing to attack her neck, then stopped. She got up and pulled him with her. She grabbed one of his hands and began walking
backwards, leading him into her bedroom. They continued to gaze at each other, eyes full of want and desire.
They finally reached her room and closed the door behind them. They couldn't wait to see what the future held for them. All they knew for sure was that they
would be together, always.
