A few minutes later, having finished her wine, Kate stood and made her way to Rick's office. She found him sitting by his desk with his laptop carefully balanced on his thighs. She quietly walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist.

When Castle felt her soft, warm hands on his stomach he quickly closed his laptop not allowing his girlfriend to see anything. He turned around in his chair so that he was facing her.

"Hey. You surprised me." said Castle.

"Well, that was my plan." replied Kate, giving him a smile. "What are you hiding from me, Castle?" she asked, pointing towards his laptop with her head.

"Nothing." he quickly replied.

"Castle..."

"Uhh... Fine. I was making reservations in a hotel and I thought it will be more fun if it was a surprise for you."said Castle, hoping that Kate would understand and not get mad. The reaction he got was not at all what he had in mind. He was expecting her to be angry at him for hiding things or at least say she didn't want a surprise. Instead he felt her soft, wet lips on his and her hands gently running through his hair. She pulled away and placed her forehead against his.

"That's sweet. I love it. Thank you, Rick."

Castle could feel her warm breath against his skin and he couldn't resist the temptation. He pulled her on his lap and captured her lips in a passionate kiss. They could have stayed like that forever, but eventually air became a necessity, so they slowly separated.

"Mmm...I love you, but since you have a trip to plan I'm not going to distract you any more. I'm going to bed. Good night." said Kate and she made her way towards the bedroom.

"Night. I'll be with you shortly."replied Castle. He quickly finished booking the hotel suite and turned off his laptop. He got up and followed his girlfriend. He came to a sudden stop near the door. He was completely mesmerized by the sight in front of him. Kate Beckett was going about her nightly routine. Taking off her dad's watch and carefully putting it back in the box on the dresser, changing into her pajamas, washing off her make up and finally getting in bed.

When she lay down, she noticed Castle standing in the doorway. She realised that he must have been watching her this whole time.

"It's creepy when you stare, Castle" she said, startling him.

"I wasn't... Fine, I was." he admitted. He discarded his clothes and changed into his grey pajamas. Now it was Kate's turn to stare. She was admiring his bare chest when she was rudely interupted.

"So when I stare it's creepy, but when you do it it's just fine?"asked Rick.

"Exactly."

Castle jumped into bed next to her, making the mattress shift a little. He lost his balance and ended up on top of her. She let out a loud laugh as he was getting up and lying down next to her. Castle quickly realised that the situation was actually quite funny and he started laughing himself. After a few minutes they both calmed down.

"I'm really happy we're going." said Kate.

Castle took her hand in his and laced their fingers together. "Me too. We leave tomorrow in the afternoon, so we will have plenty time to pack in the morning."

"'kay." was the only thing Kate said before drifting off to sleep.

They had a really hard day behind them and a long trip ahead, so Castle figured he better get some rest too. He flicked off the light and wrapped his arms around Kate's waist. He buried his face in her hair and the sweet smell of cherries helped him fall asleep.

Author's Note: I know this one was a little short, but I promise to make the next one longer. Reviews always appreciated.
