Fight

Richard Castle had screwed up, big time. This wasn't like the time he forgot their dinner reservations because he got distracted writing the latest chapter of his newest book or when he "accidentally" forgot to pack her bikini on their last trip to the Hamptons. No. This was much, much worse. He lay in his king sized bed, alone, staring at the phone silently praying she would call…text…anything. He glanced at the clock, almost midnight, she must really be mad.

Earlier that day…

"Castle what the hell were you thinking?!"

"I was thinking that some piece of garbage was putting his hands all over my fiancé!"

"Rick. I was undercover," she emphasized the last part, "it's my job. I almost got the information to catch a murderer before you barged in and went Chuck Norris on him!"

"Oh so it's okay as long as it's your job but when a woman wants me to sign her chest, I'm the bad guy?"

"You should go."

"Kate. I'm…I didn't mean to…"

"No. Not now. Just go."

So he did. He walked out on her. He knew he shouldn't have. He should have stayed and made her listen, but he didn't. It wasn't until the door closed behind him that she let her tears fall freely.

Just as he was finally about to doze off, he heard the front door of the loft open, "Kate," he let out a deep sigh.

He quietly tiptoed down the stairs, stopping at the bottom, waiting for her to make the next move. "Hey," he almost whispered. She jumped, slightly startled. "Hey," she wiped the stray tears from her eyes, "I thought you would be asleep."

"You know I can't sleep without you. Where have you been? I went back to your apartment earlier, but you never came home."

"I went for a drink with Lanie and then for a walk," she walked towards him, stopping a few feet away. "About earlier," she began before he closed the distance between them silencing her with a kiss.

"It was my fault. I'm sorry, it won't ever happen again," he promised hoping she would forgive him.

"Wait, Rick," she put her hands on his chest, "I'm sorry. It was just as much my fault."

"No. I overreacted. I know you're job involves you doing things I may not be happy with from time to time but I have to get used to it."

She started crying again, "When you walked out, I didn't expect you to forgive me. I thought when I came here you would tell me it was over."

"Over?" He tilted her chin up, "Kate, couples fight. This was our first, I promise we'll have more," he smiled.

She leaned up to kiss him, "I love you," she mumbled against his lips.

"I love you too. I'm afraid you're stuck with me," he smiled lifting her into his arms to carry her upstairs.

"Promise?"

"Always."
