Kissing him lightly, Kate smiled as they moved so she was straddling him; his arms resting on her bare back as she beamed down at him. Leaning up, he quickly stole another kiss from her before laughing at the smile that was covering her face. It was clear that she was happy, just from the smile that was gracing her features and the look in her eyes. Her beautiful eyes! Hearing a small tap at the door, she bit into her lip before moving and grabbing his shirt off the floor; pulling it over herself before Rick answered that whoever it was could come in.
"Good morning" Alexis smiled, Rick beaming at his daughter and the papers that were in her hands. "I thought you'd want to see these, I picked them up on my way home. Nothing bad, everyone is excited about the fact that you're back together and how perfect you look as a couple. Rumours are starting on when you're going to get married and about when a babies going to arrive but that's normal" the redhead explained, passing the papers to the two adults as her smile grew. Kate was moving closer to the writer who was opening one of the papers and smiling at the picture of him smiling into the camera with the beaming brunette beside him.
"I like that picture" Kate admitted, looking down at the images of celebrities and people that featured on the same page as her. It was crazy! The whole idea that she was in the same paper and on the same page as Natalie Rhodes! Natalie Rhodes the actress! "I can't believe I'm in the paper and not cross about it" she laughed, kissing his cheek lightly as Alexis continued to watch them in amusement. "What's wrong with me?" she added, Rick's arms sneaking around her before he kissed her lightly.
"Nothing's wrong with you" he whispered, kissing her lightly before Alexis rolled her eyes and walked towards the door. "What are you doing today pumpkin? Got any plans?" he asked quickly, the redhead turning to see Kate cuddled up against her father; her eyes reading the paper while the writer stared up at her.
"I'm going out with friends and then I'm staying at Paige's tonight again. One last big party before we go off to college next weekend" Alexis beamed, Rick smiling before nodding at his daughter. "So I probably won't see you until tomorrow dad, Kate so have a good day" she explained, the two adults nodding and saying goodbye before she slipped out of the bedroom and disappeared towards her own room. Looking down at the woman who was in his arms, her eyes staring up at him; he smiled before leaning down and kissing her.
"Do you know what that means then?" he asked; her head shaking before he smiled. "Naked day with Kate Beckett" he cheered, kissing her quickly as she shut her eyes. "Best day of my life ever" he added, his lips practically on top of hers as he said the six words.
"Oh god" she sighed, her eyes rolling before she giggled and allowed him to remove his shirt from around her body. "I've never spent a whole day in bed before, never had someone I want to spend the whole day with" she admitted onto his lips, his eyebrows rising as he stared at her in shock.
"Well that's something we have to change now Miss Beckett because I do like to spend whole days in bed and having you as company will make it even better" he smiled, Kate giggling as he began to kiss down her neck; his body disappearing under the blanket as she shut her eyes. It was going to be a brilliant day!
XOOXOXOXOXXO
"I like this side of you" he commented, observing her as she slipped back into the bedroom. She was dressed only in his shirt, the bottom of it resting mid-thigh while some of the buttons were done up; a couple remaining undone however. "You look relaxed" he admitted, noticing the scruffy bed hair and exhausted smile that was covering her face.
"I feel relaxed" she sighed, slipping onto the bed before he took one of the coffees from her. "I really do Rick; I feel better than I have in over a year" she admitted, looking down into the dark liquid before shaking her head and taking a sip of the warm drink. "Castle thank you" she whispered, staring up at him as he watched her in confusion. Thank you for what? He hadn't done anything. "For everything you've ever done for me for the past four years. For finding my mom's killer, for trying to protect me from the bullet, for helping my dad for the past year and for taking me away when Montgomery…" she began, her eyes shutting as he leant down and pressed a kiss into her hair.
"I'd do it all over again" he whispered, knowing how hard it was for her. Montgomery was a father figure to her and she couldn't believe everything he'd been involved in; everything he'd hidden from her. "I'd do anything to protect you Kate and it might be the hardest thing I've ever done. Pinning you up against a car and just holding you while you cried killed me" he admitted, Kate kneeling beside him quickly and pressing a kiss to his cheek. "I just regret that our last conversation was a fight".
"I'm so sorry Castle" she admitted, shutting her eyes for a moment. "I'm so sorry for what I said that night but you have to understand, I wasn't me. I was lost again and I was scared; I was scared of everything" she explained; the writer nodding before her hands ran to his cheeks. Moving his head slowly to face her, she quickly straddled him so their eyes locked. "I mean it, I'm so sorry for what I did to you that night" she admitted, leaning forward to kiss him quickly. "Nothing's going to happen again; I'm never going away".
"I trust you" he whispered, his hands resting on her back as she smiled lightly. "I love you so much Katie". Leaning forward to kiss him again, Kate groaned as her phone began to ring from the floor; her head shaking as she moved off him and leant across to grab her purse. Taking her phone out of it, she hit it as the writer smiled at her and watched her relax back against the headboard.
"Hi Lanie" the brunette sighed, waiting for a response. "Yes Lanie, I've seen the papers" she smiled, reaching across for the paper again and reading it again. "I actually like all the pictures; I might put one in a frame" she teased, Rick beaming as she looked up at him and bit into her lip. "No, I'm feeling fine thanks Lanie" she murmured in confusion.
"Tell Lanie you have a lunch date" he whispered, unbuttoning her shirt slowly as she bit into her lip to stop herself from giggling. "Please" he mumbled.
"Lanie I've got to go, Rick's got plans for lunch" she smiled, the ME obviously making some comment down the phone as Kate's cheeks began to flush red. "Bye Lanie, we'll do something soon" she laughed, hanging up quickly before turning to look at the writer. "You're a nightmare" Kate smiled.
"I know" he sighed, kissing her again as she giggled. "Move in here" he whispered, confusion covering her face as she stared at him. She was already moving in, they'd agreed that so why was he asking again? "I mean into here. Into this bed" he smiled, her teeth sinking into her lips. "I know it's fast but we've been friends for years and I've been in love with you for nearly all of them" he smiled.
"Rick, it's fast" she admitted.
"I know but you don't have too" he explained. "I just wanted you to have another option before we start unpacking your clothes and stuff" Rick admitted, cuddling up against her as she sighed. "I thought we could start unpacking your things tomorrow; after our lazy day in bed".
"I'd like that" Kate smiled. "I'd also love to move into your room Rick" she whispered gently; the writer beaming at her before kissing her again.
I'm not sure about this chapter and well, I'm not sure about where this story is going to go. I honestly have no idea and I feel like it's going to end up getting dragged out and you'll all get bored of it. Anyway, if you have any ideas or any comments in general please review; I do love hearing from you.
Thanks!
