Kate Beckett curled up on her couch after her date with a glass of wine and a book, and of course, it had to be one of his book. Heat Wave had called her name when she arrived home. Now Beckett couldn't remove her eyes from the dedication. To the extraordinary KB and all my friends at the 12th. Some friend, Kate thought to herself, three months, no calls, no texts, no email son of a. Kate's thoughts were interrupted by a knock on her door. She put the book down next to glass of wine and went to answer it. Without looking to see who it was she started talking. "Evan, i told you leave me-" She stopped when she looked up to see Castle staring at her with a bouquet of roses in front of him. "Castle, why are you here?"

"I came to talk," He told her with his sincere smile, the smile he only seemed to use when he was talking to his daughter, or when he told her he was sorry for digging up her mother's murder. "Plus, every woman love flowers so I brought these," He added, handing her the flowers. Beckett sighed as she took them, leaving the door open as she walked away to let Castle in. Castle walked into the apartment, closing the door behind him. While he waited for Beckett to return, he started to look at her bookshelves. It was the first time that he had been to her new apartment. He placed a cocky as hell smile on his face when he saw Heat Wave resting on the coffee table next to her wine glass. Beckett rolled her eyes when she came back, seeing his cocky smile.

"What do you want?" Beckett asked as she sat back down on her couch.

"Did you read the card?" Castle asked as he kept walking around the apartment. Beckett stood back up and returned with the card in her hand. She looked at the card, then she started to read it.

Dear Katherine,

You're different, you don't let anything, or anybody, including me, get in your way. I'm sorry i left, I'm sorry that i never called, I'm sorry that I hurt you, I'm sorry for every thing, and I'm sorry that I'm head over heels in love you with. I love you Kate. It hurt me to walk away from you, from everything that we had started, but i hurt more to watch you fall in love with Demming. All summer long, you were the only thing on my mind.

Love,

Richard

Beckett sighed. A note. He wrote a freakin note! when he would've just told me! Beckett thought to herself before looking behind her couch at Castle, who was staring out the window. Beckett smiled, knowing that she felt the same way. She got up and slowly started to creep up on him. Wrapping her arms around his waist she stated, "I love you too." Castle turned to face her and smiled when she moved her arms up to around his neck and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"I meant what i said, Kate," Castle told her, resting his forehead on hers. "I love you." Beckett smiled as she leaned her head to greet his lips with hers. Castle used his arms around her waist to pull her closer. Beckett could feel Castle smile as she let his tongue enter her mouth. They both pulled away when Beckett's phone rang.

"Beckett," She answered, her smile playing through her voice. "Oh, Hey Josh...No...No, Josh you can't come over...what makes you think i would cheat on you?...Lanie's here...Oh whatever!" She screamed into her phone before shutting it and tossing it on the couch. "Does this mean?" Castle smiled before placing a soft kiss on her lips.

"I think it does."

"Can we not tell anyone?"

"As long as I have you, it can be our little secret." Castle pulled her close to him. Beckett smiled as she placed her head on his chest. "Take out?" He asked with a slight smile.

"Chinese," She stated. Castle took out his phone and looked up the number to his favorite Chinese place
