Kate had just been to the doctors to get her ankle checked. She was given the all clear and could start back at work the next day; she still however, had to wear flat shoes. This also meant she would have to go back to her apartment, instead of staying at Rick's. Ever since her shopping trip with Lanie the previous day Rick had been determined to find out what was in the Victoria's Secret bag of hers. But with Kate being the strong person she was she wouldn't budge.
When Kate unlocked the door Rick was anxiously waiting on the other side to hear the verdict. "So, is your ankle all better?" He asked.
"It certainly is, I can go back to work tomorrow." Kate smiled.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Rick said pulling Kate into a long kiss.
When they broke apart Rick started: "So does that mean…"
"Richard Castle I know what you want to ask and yes it does mean that, but no."
"Oh, but Kate this is torture making me wait."
"Well Rick, good things come to those that wait, very good things in fact."
"You are so evil Kate!" Rick said.
"Oh I know I am, but think about it soon some of your fantasies with me in them will come true."
Rick looked like he could topple over. "Rick, are you okay? You look like you have seen a ghost or something." Kate laughed.
Rick managed "I never ever thought I would actually live to see the day where some of my fantasies with you will come true!"
"Well, it's coming soon. Besides when you get to see my in a red bikini Rick, I just don't know how you will cope."
"You own a red bikini?" Rick asked stunned.
"Of course I do and one day you might get to see me in it." Kate replied.
"How can I make that day come sooner?" Rick begged.
"Patience is a virtue Rick and clearly you haven't got it, have you?" Kate laughed. "Now, to a serious subject now I have been given the all clear with my ankle that means I can go back to my apartment."
"Oh, but I love having you here!"
"I know Rick, I love being here with you, but I really have to go back to my place. And it will be good for you to spend some time with Alexis and Martha."
"True, but it doesn't mean I won't miss you."
"Yeah, I'll miss you too. It will be good for us to have some time apart and don't forget we will see each other at work." Kate replied.
"Oh yes, work." Rick grinned.
"I don't know what you are thinking Richard Castle, but at work we are still Castle and Beckett. Just like we always have been, okay?"
"Okay, so I still have to call you Beckett?"
"At work you do Rick. We have to keep our relationship professional, and we certainly don't want Gates breathing down our necks." Kate finished.
"True, it will be hard trying to resist you. I will try my best though."
"I am so glad to hear it Rick."
"Did I tell you how much I love you, Kate?" Rick asked.
"Only a few times."
"Well, I love you." Rick smiled.
"I love you too Rick."
The two shared a deep, long kiss that would've made Kate go weak at the knees if she was standing up. Just then Gypsy came running into the room.
"Hi little Gypsy," Kate said, reaching down to pat the dog, "Where have you been?"
"I think she has been asleep, because we had lots of fun playing fetch while you were at the doctors." Rick replied.
"Is that right? Have you and Rick been having lots of fun?" Kate cooed.
"Gypsy will miss you heaps."
"Yeah and I'll miss her too."
"You'll have to visit her so she won't forget you." Rick said.
"Richard Castle, are you using our puppy to convince me to come and visit you?"
"Oh Kate, you know me too well."
Kate laughed and said, "Well, it's lucky I will come and visit you two lots."
"Anyway I should get all my stuff together and head home pretty soon." Kate announced standing up.
"Aren't you staying for dinner?"
"No, sorry Rick it's best if I have an early night since I have work in the morning."
"Of course, now would you like a hand packing up all of your stuff?" Rick asked.
"Yeah that would be great. Hang on; you aren't doing this just to see if you can get a glimpse of what's in that bag?"
"No, of course not why would you think that?"
"So look me in the eyes and tell me that wasn't your motive."
"Fine that's what I wanted to do, look in the bag."
"I knew it! Now please excuse me while I pack my bags on my own." Kate laughed.
….
When Kate was all packed up and ready to go she said goodbye to little Gypsy and then Rick drove her to her apartment. And helped her take her suitcase up, "I'll miss you so much tonight," Rick said.
"I'll miss you more Rick and I will miss little Gypsy." Kate replied. "And thank you so much for letting me stay and thank Martha and Alexis for me too."
"Of course I will. Can I get one last goodbye kiss?"
"You never give up do you?"
Rick grabbed Kate anyway and pulled her into a kiss. "It will be a long day tomorrow, waiting for the end of the day where I can kiss you again."
"I know Rick, but we can do it. Thank you again, for everything."
"Always."
…
When Kate went to bed that night she missed Rick on the other side of the bed, smiling at her wrapping his arms around her, embracing her. Kate grabbed her phone and decided to quickly send him a text. There was already a text there for her, it was from Rick: Me and Gypsy are missing you, it doesn't feel right with you not lying here next to me hun. Love you xxxx
Kate smiled and sent a speedy reply: I was just going to send you a text saying how much I missed having you next to me in bed and then I got your text. Tomorrow isn't too far away. Big hugs to you and Gypsy, love you too. Night sweet dreams, babe. ;) Xoxo
Kate knew Rick would love getting this text. He had quickly sent her a reply: Oh Katherine Beckett you are evil saying that, making me want you! Xxxx
Kate laughed at this and replied saying: I know I am now I am going to sleep now, see you tomorrow. Love you so much x
She would have normally put her phone on the bedside cabinet by now, but instead she waited to see what Rick's reply was. Her phone bleeped with his text:
Night, night my darling Kate sweet dreams honey, until tomorrow Kate xoxo
Hope this was up to standard! I know it's short, but I think it was really cute leaving it here. I hope I will be able to update soon, please do review.
