Kate didn't get the best night's sleep, her bed wasn't as big or comfy as Rick's and the other side of the bed felt cold and Kate missed having Rick's arms around her as she slept. On the plus side Kate didn't have any nightmares that night. As Kate was heading out the door to head to the precinct her phone bleeped with a message. It was from Rick: Morning beautiful, missed you heaps last night! Can't wait to see you today, love you xoxo
Kate smiled and quickly sent back: And good morning to you handsome, I missed you too. See you very soon xoxo
When Kate arrived at the precinct she was surprised to already see Rick sitting waiting for her. "Good morning Castle," Kate smiled. Today was going to be a very long day.
"Morning Beckett, I bought you your coffee." Rick smiled as he handed Kate her coffee.
Their hands briefly touched, which sent a tingling feeling through Kate's body. "Thanks."
Just at that point Ryan and Esposito walked into the room. "Beckett, hey!" Ryan greeted her.
"Hi boss." Esposito smiled.
"Hey you two!"
"Don't I get a hello?" Rick asked, pouting.
"Oh I'm sorry bro and a special hello to Castle." Esposito jeered.
"Thank you, see it wasn't that hard."
Kate noticed that Esposito and Ryan were gawking at her and Rick. Most probably trying to decide whether their relationship was real. "Yes Ryan?" Kate asked.
Ryan jumped "What?"
"You were staring at me. And just to set your minds at rest yes it's true about me and Castle. Now can we all please get back to work?"
Esposito whispered to Ryan "You owe me five bucks bro."
So everyone got back to work just like the old days, there had been a body dropped so they were in the middle of closing that murder. Kate was beginning to find it hard to concentrate, Rick kept staring at her and she wanted him. She wanted him bad.
There had been a call about a lead but Kate decided to stay behind, her ankle didn't feel up to chasing criminals down alleys just yet. So then it was just Kate and Rick left standing at the murder board. Rick brushed past Kate's ear and whispered "Gates is watching us."
Kate turned around to make it look like she was grabbing a file from her desk but sure enough Gates was watching them like a hawk. Kate quickly turned around. "You're right, she is." She said without looking at Rick.
"Do you think she knows about us?" Rick asked.
"I don't know, your guess is as good as mine."
"And just when I thought she was beginning to warm up to me."
"Dream on Castle!"
"Oh how you wound me Beckett."
Kate let out a huge sigh and sat down on her desk. "This case doesn't seem to be making any progress Castle. And something doesn't seem right about it."
"Ryan and Espo are on a lead right now, this could be what we need to crack this case wide open." Rick said rubbing Kate's arm.
"You're right."
"I'm always right."
"Don't push it Castle."
"Sorry Beckett."
Kate's phone buzzed, it was an incoming call from Ryan. "Ryan, please tell me you got something."
"Sorry to disappoint you Beckett but we have nothing. We are heading back now."
"Okay."
Kate disconnected the call, frowning.
"Nothing," She sighed.
"Oh, we'll find something Ka- I mean Beckett. Don't worry." Rick reassured her.
They all decided to break for lunch, Gates wanted fresh minds working on the case and everyone needed this lunch break, it was half past two in the afternoon. Just as they were all sitting down to tuck into lunch Ryan's phone rang. "So Beckett, I think we have found our guy." Ryan said smiling, "You want to come with us?"
"I think I will stay here and prep for the interviewing, I might pull up some files on the suspect." Kate replied, trying to catch Rick's eye.
"Okay, what about you Castle?" Esposito asked.
"Yeah I might come with you guys."
"Are you sure Castle? Because these files could be very interesting and good for your research." Kate said trying to get him to work out what she meant.
"Oh, research!" Rick said cottoning on. "Yeah, I'll stay here with Beckett; help her out with the files."
Ryan and Esposito looked at each other and rolled their eyes. "Okay then, we will just head off." Ryan said getting up.
Ryan and Esposito walked towards the lift talking about Kate and Rick and laughing. Kate walked swiftly towards the file room, Rick hot on her heels. When they were inside Kate locked the door and quickly found the file she was looking for. She then turned to Rick. "I thought you were never going to get what I was saying Rick."
"Yeah, it has been a long day; do you know how hard it has been trying to resist you? Especially with you wearing those jeans that make your ass look so good."
"Well why are we doing all this talking? Just shut up and kiss me Castle!"
Rick grabbed Kate and pulled her into a long kiss, Rick pushed Kate up against the wall. Rick's shirt was unbuttoned, and Kate was running her hands up and down Rick's abs. Rick pulled up Kate's sweater and his hands were on her back. They heard somebody outside the door. They froze. They could hear Esposito "Yeah, they said they would pull some files. The door must've locked."
Rick was fumbling with the buttons on his shirt trying to quickly do it up.
Kate pulled down her sweater and tried to smooth it out.
Then Gates spoke from the other side, "Yes, I'll just unlock it for them."
They could hear her finding the key.
Kate tried to fix her hair, she pointed at it and Rick gave her the thumbs up. Kate noticed she had left marks of her lip gloss all across Rick's face. She licked her thumb then rubbed it of Rick's face as best she could.
They heard Gates put her key in the door and turn it. Kate and Rick quickly went to get the file. Gates stood on the other side of the door, her expression set in stone, her arms crossed. "Found the file Castle." Kate said trying to cover everything up.
But one glance at Gates face she knew she and Rick had been sprung. "Detective Beckett, Mr Castle, my office now!" She barked as she turned on her heel and walked off.
Kate and Rick quickly followed, with Ryan and Esposito's eyes staring at them, gawking. Kate ran her hand across her lips; they felt swollen from all the kissing.
They walked into Gates office, she indicated for them to sit down. "So, you ended up finding the file. You two took quite a while." Gates started, taking her glasses off.
"It wasn't that long, only about five minutes." Kate replied.
"So it only took Detective's Ryan and Esposito five minutes to leave catch the murderer, bring them back here and get a confession out of them?"
"I don't know sir." Rick said, looking down at his hands.
"You two know that room isn't sound proof, we can hear things on the other side." Gates continued. "Is there something you two wanted to tell me?"
"Castle and I are together sir, but I promise our relationship will be professional here. It won't happen again." Kate said.
"I hope so, because if it does happen again I will kick Mr Castle out of the precinct. Got it?"
"Yes sir." Kate replied.
"Mr Castle?"
"Yes sir."
"Good, now you two can go home everything is finished here."
Kate and Rick quickly escaped Gates office, grabbed their stuff and walked to the lift. "And I thought Gates was finally beginning to like me." Rick said.
Kate laughed, "Even if she was, she won't be anymore."
"Yeah, I'm sorry Kate."
"It's fine. It was my fault, we lost track of time. I'm sorry too about your case for Gates getting damaged."
"Oh very funny Kate." Rick said, "God, that was good in the file room, I want to do it all again."
"You know what? Me too."
Kate and Rick stepped off the elevator. "Rick, come to my place, now. Let's finish what happened in the file room." Kate said.
Rick looked so surprised Kate thought his eyes could pop out. "Great, see you there."
"Drive safe Rick." Kate said hopping into her car.
Tonight was certainly going to be night to remember.
