Hard To Concentrate - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Tap.

Tap.

Tap.

Tap. "Castle," She snaps.

"What?" I feign innocence knowing exactly what she's annoyed about.

"Stop. With the pen," she growls, shoving a frustrated hand through her hair, trying to regain her concentration on the paper work in front of her.

"Sorry," I apologize immediately setting aside the marker I'd been rhythmically tapping against the arm rest and pulled out my phone, starting up a new game of angry birds.

"Stop," comes the exasperated groan from her.

"What am I doing now?" I though I'd been being quiet.

"I can see you making faces as you play. It's distraction."

I scoff, "Well it's not my fault you can't keep your eyes on the paperwork."

She looks somewhere between pissed and amused, "Why are you even here?"

"We have plans tonight, in case you've forgotten. So I'm not going to leave you here to drown in paper work and then cancel because you can't see me pout when you call."

She laughs, her head thrown back hair tumbling over her shoulders as she reaches out to lay a hand over min. "I can hear you pout through the phone, don't worry." I grin back at her, "And I have no intention of canceling on you. I really want to be done with these and you are making it very hard to concentrate."

"So be done and lets just go," I ask hopefully. I've only gotten her to play hooky once and that was 'cause I already had her naked in bed.

"Can't," she frowns, looking at the stack of paper in front of her, she's actually managed to get through most of it. She looks back at me, "Can you just sit still for 10 minutes?"

"I can try." I nod putting my phone away and settling in to just watch her.

We didn't make it two minutes before she sighed, "Castle can you just go wait in the break room?"

I nod, "Sure. Ten minutes though and then I'm dragging you out of here."

She nods, "Fair enough."

It's not even ten minutes before she's in the break room wearing her coat. "Hi," she says softly extending a hand to help me up.

"All done?"

"Um-hm," she purrs against me, "much quicker without you distracting me."

"Don't let Gates hear that, she's always thought I was a distraction."

"You were," Kate replies capturing my lips softly sliding her arms around my neck.

That little fact makes me really happy, "Well we should go before we do something very distracting."

"Ok," She sighs happily and leads the way to the elevator.
