Hey, sorry it has been so long, but I have been on vacation, and am about to go again, so here is just a quick little snippet till I get back, where I promise I will have a nice long chapter for you all! Thanks so much for reviwing, if I knew how to individually reply I would, but I don't, so here's a mass thanks to you all! Enjoy!
Kate looked down at the food, where "Please come out to dinner with me tonight" was spelled.
"Not thee most sophisticated word choice, I know," said Castle, "but I hope you will."
He smiled at her, in that way that just makes her heart skip a beat, and used her fork to spell out "Yes" in syrup on her plate. He smiled again, and continuing the charade, used his fruit to write "Dig in."
They both finished their breakfast, and went on to engage in a war with the bubbles from the dishes.
Sopping wet, and grinning like crazy, the two made their way up to Castle's bathroom, where he had a large, claw-footed bathtub, one like Beckett had.
They looked at each other, eyes meeting with intensity, hair dripping, hands shaking at their sides, as they slowly reached for each other, stretching the moment until they touched, covering, locked, as their lips met lovingly, in a tender kiss.
Castle reached out his free hand, and turned on the water in the tub and breaking away painfully, poured some bubble bath in, so that the air filled with the sent of, what Beckett thought Alexis's choice sent, warm vanilla, as she was sure he had stolen it from her for this very moment. She slowly removed his shirt from her body, and tugged off his clothes so that they both felt the hot steam caressing their naked bodies.
They slipped into the tub, feeling the slippery water running over them, and with another perfect kiss, relaxed into the bliss.
Later, Castle kissed her goodbye, as she left his loft to go back to her place to get ready for that evening. No sooner had she left, that he got a text from Alexis, saying that she was sorry she was so late, but she hoped he wasn't worried, and she would be home in half an hour. He smiled guiltily- he had completely forgotten about Alexis, but after all, it was only one o'clock, so not that late.
He scurried around the apartment, cleaning everything up, and was ready when his daughter opened the door to the apartment a few minuets early, getting up and smiling, playing the father role, and asking "Hey honey, how was your night?"
Beckett, on the other hand, was driving slowly home, smiling with the memories of the previous night, going through her building in a trance of love, and opening her door, not realizing it was not locked, to hear a voice saying
"Well there Kate Beckett, it took you long enough to come home."
