Here, is chapter two of Snapshots. Would love input as to what you guys would like to see for snapshots of their lives. I am trying to stay with the current episodes in this season, and add missing pieces. Would love to hear what you think. Is there not enough sexual tension, or just enough? Please, let me know.

Disclaimer – nope not mine, just borrowing them…thank you very much.

Chapter 2

The sound of his phone permeates the hazy fog of sleep he is in. Her scantly clad image starts to fade as his conscious mind registers the ringing phone. He absentmindedly reaches an arm out from under his pillow and fumbles around his nightstand blindly, cursing until his fingers wander upon it. He grabs his cell awkwardly and brings it to his face; he knows only one person would call him at this time of the night.

"Castle." His voice is deep and still heavy with sleep. There is silence on the other end for a second. Then he hears her telling him that a body has dropped on the corner of 17th and Lexington.

He yawns and tells her he'll meet her as soon as he finds some clothes. He almost misses the slight giggle she makes. He hopes she has conjured up a good mental image of him naked.

"Well, make sure you do Castle. It is quite cold out today, wouldn't want you freezing anything off out here." He knows he has made her smile, and his morning has started on a good note. "See you soon, Castle."

He jumps out of bed and rummages through his clean clothes for something to wear. He knows she likes him in blue and tries to wear it as often as possible without being too obvious. He almost takes a dive putting on his shoes and trying to get out the door at the same time. Luckily he catches himself and no harm done.

He catches the elevator to the ground floor, waves to the night doorman, who is now used to him leaving at these strange hours.

"Got another one, Mr C.?" He asks Castle as he opens the door for him.

"Murder never sleeps, Matthew. Off to another one." He says as he walks through the door. The doorman nods his head and closes the door behind him. Castle walks to the corner coffee shop and orders their coffee and bearclaws, he even gets one for Lanie today. He hails a cab as soon as he comes out and is at the murder scene in no time. Traffic at 4 am is still minimal in New York, give it another hour or so and it will pick up.

He arrives at the scene and he greets the officer that points him in the right direction and lifts the police tape for him to go under. He spots the team and walks over, and he wonders how she can look so beautiful and put together at 4:30 am. She smiles at him as she watches him approach and thanks him as she takes her coffee with both hands and takes a long swig of it. He wants to memorize the face and sound she makes when she takes that first sip each day, and hopes he can be the cause of that for many years to come.

The murder victim literally fell from the sky and is sprawled across the dented roof of a 1994 Lincoln Towncar. She has no identification and no one heard or saw a thing. Beckett starts giving people instructions. "Uni's can canvas the street and look in dumpsters and cans for identification, Ryan and Espo interview anyone and everyone in the buildings who may have heard or seen anything." She turns and starts to walk away.

"You coming, Castle?" she says over her shoulder as she walks away. He startles, and hands Lanie her bearclaw then scampers up behind his pretty detective.

"So where are we going?" he asks her as he catches up to her.

"Let's go search through missing persons and see what we can find." They pull into traffic and are at the station in no time.

The case gets more and more convoluted and they call it quits for the day at 9:30pm. Castle and Beckett decide for burgers at Remy's before heading home. They sit in their booth and talk about anything and everything. Anyone that sees them would think they were married. He wipes the ketchup off the corner of her mouth with the napkin, she pulls his ear in jest, and they eat each other's food. Their legs brush against each other too often to be coincidence.

Remy's isn't far from her apartment and Castle insists on walking her. As they walk both are conscious of their shoulders touching or the tingling feeling of their hands brushing against each other. She wishes he would put his arm around her so she could lean into him and breath in his scent, but his hands stay at his side.

They reach the entrance of her apartment. She wants to ask him up, but knows that would start something neither is ready for. She smiles at him, and he takes her hand and squeezes it for just one moment.

"Until tomorrow, Kate. " he says he pulls her hair behind her ear and places a soft open-mouthed kiss to her cheek. He feels her shiver and a sigh escape her lips. He loves that he causes this reaction in her. She doesn't move away.

"Someday soon Mr. Castle, I am going to ask you up to my apartment after one of these late night meals, and I am going to make you give me many more of those chills you are so proud of right now." She feels his arms snake around her waist and pull her closer to him.

"Castle," his name escapes her lips in a gasp, laden with lust as she hugs him to her. His face nestled in the crook of her neck heightened the feeling of his breath caressing her skin. Unconsciously she angles her head to give him better access needing his lips on her skin.

He pulls away reluctantly. "You need to rest so you have fresh eyes tomorrow, and that is not going to happen if I don't leave soon. Until tomorrow detective." He steps away and off the sidewalk to hail a cab again. She turns and unlocks the door to her building and watches him get into the cab. They smile at each other as the cab pulls away.

Her phone buzzes with an incoming message from him. She smiles thinking how he just left and was already texting her. "Sweet dreams Kate, see you tomorrow," it read.

"Sweet Dreams, Castle, I'll be seeing you in my dreams tonight." She sends back.

He reads her response and closes his eyes as he leans his head back on the seat of the taxi. If she only knew she had been in all his dreams now for a long time. He smiles the rest of the way home and into his apartment.

So? What do you guys think? Should I continue? Drop me a review and let me know…Pretty Please? I really would love to know what you think. I have 5 chapters of this fanfic written, but if there is no interest I don't want to waste anyone's time continuing. If you put the story or me on alert let me know what you liked, say "HI." I would love to hear from you. So, please let me know. Dying for next week's episode, and the two-parter after that.
