So here's chapter four, and sorry it took so long! I was trying to add more conversation in the car, but I couldn't come up with anything else. The next chapter is pretty much done so you won't have to wait long. I just have to reread it for any typos and add a few things, and then I'll post it! I'm in the middle of studying for two tests and reading a novel for English, so, it'll be up sometime over the weekend – Monday at the absolute latest. Hope you enjoy, though, and please review! :)


They were waiting in the lobby when Castle's driver pulled up. Being on his best behaviour, he opened the door for Kate and let her slip in first. With that they were off to pick up supper. During the ride there, Castle was listening to a rock band that Kate had never heard off. When they pulled up to the pizza place, Castle left to go inside and was back in a flash.

"How much was it? I'll pay half." She asked digging through her purse, as he got in.

"Forget it, I asked you to come. I'm not going to make you pay."

"But castle! This isn't a date; we're two grown adults taking pizza back to your family. Let me pay for half."

"No." His brain then registered what he had just heard. He was thrilled to hear the word 'date' come from Kate's lips. "A date? No, it's not a date. But when we do go on a date I will be paying."

"Castle, we are not going out on a date. Not now, not tomorrow, not ever!"

"Well see about that, Katie."

"Oh we don't have to, Kitten." She smiled sweetly.

With that, he was silenced. He remained quiet for most of the duration of the ride to his apartment. Occasionally he made some remark about people walking on the street, which he got a few giggles out of Kate.

Kate noticed Castle was occupied with something on his phone. "What are you doing now?"

"Oh nothing. Just tweeting the new title for the Nikki Heat sequel." He turned so Kate couldn't read the screen over his shoulder.

"Well, are you going to tell me?"

"No."

"What!? Why not?"

"Because, I don't want to be in shooting range when you find out."

"Tell me right now!" She was livid.

"Maybe you can read about it on Twitter."

"Twitter. Do you honestly think I have time for that?"

"You should get it. You know," doing the best Kevin Costner impersonation he could, he continued "if you tweet it, they will follow."

The serious look on Castle's face caused Kate to burst out laughing. "Tell me you did not just relate Twitter to Field of Dreams!"

"Hey, what can I say? I have a way with words – I am a writer you know."

She rolled her eyes. "So I've heard."

"Just so you know, I have been compared to Shakespeare." He said proudly.

"I find that hard to believe, but I'll bite. By who?"

"Well," he paused "just me, but it could catch on!" He tried to defend himself.

"Maybe you could tweet about it." She said dryly.

"Oh, funny! But I have one thing that Shakespeare didn't have."

"And what's that?" She asked, expecting some half sentimental comment relating to her. However, she got the complete opposite.

"I have top of the line laser tag!" He shouted and pretended to hold a gun and aim at Kate. "We should play sometime."

"Castle, I'm a cop. I would kick your ass. Although, this way I could shoot you without having any paper work to do."

All he could do was shrug.

"Tell me what the title is. Now!" She was determined.

Luckily for Castle, they had arrived at their destination. "We're here."

"You know you can't hide it from me forever."

"But I can for now." He smiled as they got out of the car and went into Castle' building. When they finally were finally at his door, he opened it motioning for Kate to go in.

"Oh wait, I forgot to tell you something." She looked at him with curiosity. "I don't actually have a bathtub exactly... I do, however, have a whirlpool." His eyebrow shot up making him look mischievous.

She rolled her eyes, brushed past him and entered his loft.

Writers Note: I added the 'Twitter' part after I seen WriteRCastle's Twitter post about the new title. I didn't include Kate's reaction because I can't possibly do it justice for when she actually finds out on the show! You can pre-order 'Naked Heat' on amazon .com!
