"I guess so." Rick finally stated after impatiently waiting to see if she would say anything. "Silent treatment it is then" He said annoyed.

"Humph." Was all that came out of Kate's mouth as she slipped out of her towel. The sound of the material thumping on the floor caught Rick's attention, once he looked up and saw her saturated skin his eyes burned into her back.

Kate could feel him practically drooling over her and smiled a devious smile to herself. Glad to know that she had full control over the situation. She turned to her dresser, letting her naked side invade his vision. She fought back the smirk that so badly wanted to spread across her lips.

'Serves him right not only am I going to give his ass the silent treatment but I'm gunna' make him squirm'

And boy was she making him squirm. He tried so desperately to pry his eyes off of her perfect silhouette but failed miserably. Even after seeing her so bare for two months, he still gets affected by it. He watched mouth agape as she slid on a pair of lacy black underwear.

'Oh Kate you're so cruel' Castle didn't know what to do with his hands as he eyeballed Kate, finally he decided on shoving them in his pockets of his expensive suit that he was itching to get out of. Rick leaned on the doorway of her room examining her as she got dressed, once again he'd much rather her stay naked.

"Kate" Rick mentally slapped himself for his voice being so hoarse. He knew she knew what she was doing to him and hated it. He didn't want to make himself look weak in this battle.

Kate purposely didn't answer knowing it would royally piss him off. Instead she seductively bent down and picked up the towel, putting her leg on her bed and drying it off. Slowly, tortuously, watching out of the corner of her eye as Rick's head turned a little as if to get a better look.

Once Rick realized he had cocked his head, he shook himself out of it. He was fed up with the stupid silent treatment.

"Can you stop ignoring me for just a second!" He yelled, startling Kate.

She looked up to see Rick's pupils completely devoured in darkness. They had dilated from pure lust.

"What is it Castle?" She snapped at him not caring if she was engulfed by his hungry eyes or not.

"What is it- What is it!" Rick shouted.

'Why does he always repeat the question when he gets angry?' She thought as she asked him.

"YES, what is it!" She yelled back in exasperation.

Rick looked shocked at her outburst.

"I don't know maybe I wanted to talk about what happened tonight?" He said as if it was obvious.

"Oh you mean the part where you ruined dinner?" Kate said in a fake confused face.

Rick glared at her. He was done being nice.

"No more the part with you not wanting to move in with me"

"I don't know Rick, you're the story teller, why don't you figure it out." Kate mocked him as she plopped down on the edge of the bed wearing only her underwear and one of Rick's old T-shirts.

With that comment Rick's mind went wild. 'Where is she getting at with this? Is there an obvious reason as to why she wouldn't want to move in with me? Am I just a terrible beast she doesn't want to be seen with?'

"You know what I think" He pushed himself off the doorway and stalked towards her slowly. "I think that you're too scared to commit to another human being enough to live with them, you're scared of the big picture, you're just afraid Kate." He knew he was crossing a HUGE line but his pride was getting in the way of him caring.

Kate couldn't believe what was coming out of his mouth. If she weren't so taken back by his words she is sure she would have punched him right in the mouth. In fact she really wishes she hadn't resigned from the force so she could have her gun back. 'I miss my gun' She thought as her eyes started to itch. 'Oh crap am I tearing up?' She can't believe this, she's about to cry in front of him, she fights back the tears just as fast as they come. She will NOT cry.

standing up from the bed making her feel more in power, not liking the feeling of Castle towering over her. She points her finger at him in defiance letting him know he'd better watch himself. "Rick you better-"

Her voice is laced with venom. That doesn't seem to stop him from cutting her off though.

"Better what Kate? Leave? Yeah real original." He rolls his eyes at her. This grows a pit of fire in her heart. She's not only angry now, she's hurt. She falters back and the tears start to come back up invading her vision. She feels her face heating up from frustration.

Rick sees the liquid building in her eyes and automatically regrets what he has said. But he knows he can't take it back now, and he really doesn't know if he wants to. He needs to let her know that all those times she has pushed him away have had an affect on him. He is damaged by her whether she knows it or not.

He's surprised to see a sickly grin cross her features. It's almost as if she is in pain and he doesn't know how to react.

"You know what Rick?" She nods her head "You're right, get the hell out of my apartment." Her vocal cords come out strong, she thanks the heavens for that.

Rick nods this time as if agreeing with her.

"Of course." He says bitterly. He turns on his heals making it down her hallway to her open living room.

Kate chases after him hating that he gets the last bitter words in.

"That is the glory of not living together Castle, I can kick you out when you're being a complete jack ass." She blatantly says as if that didn't just crush him completely.

Little does she know she just woke a whole new Richard Castle up.

Review please, is this alright? Like I feel like, Idk. Lol, just tell me what you think, if you like it or if you hate it it doesn't matter. As long as you let me know!
