I am so so so sorry it has taken so long to update! I feel like a horrible person! Anyway, if you still want to read after my terrible update skills please please do, I hope you like this, it's not my favorite chapter, but please enjoy, and as always reviews do make my day a bit easier, and I get to procrastinate on the immense amount of homework that I have to do to read them, so that is truly the main benefit! By the way AAHHHH tomorrow Castle premier is going to be on!

Disclaimer: Yeah, I wish I owned it.

Kate and Lanie walked into the Old Haunt, and scanned the room. They quickly saw the boys over at a table in the back.

Walking over smiling, they laughed when Castle and Esposito hurriedly stood up to greet the women. Then they all sat down, again Esposito and Castle offering their seats. They all ordered drinks, and by the time they got them, they were laughing and talking about, of course, Castles latest crazy idea.

"So then," Beckett gasped "he opens the door for me, and this gigantic black helicopter comes flying towards my head, with Castle yelling 'Black hawk stop right now! You let Kate be! You let her be!' And his stupid voice controlled machine stopped in midair, propeller halted, and fell down, crashing onto my foot!"

And so, Castle managed to get out, "she kicked up with poor innocent black hawk still on her boot, pushing it through the air, where it crashed onto the couch, where by the way, my mother was sitting, watching the whole spectacle unfold, hitting right next to her and making her spill her wine, red by the way, all over her white shirt!

So then, she told me off right in front of Beckett, telling me that she didn't raise me to be a huligun, and what would Kate think of me, and that I owed her a new shirt, plus accessories. Finally, she blew away, and left, off to who knows where, and I didn't see her until the next morning!"

Castle was smiling at Beckett, and pushed his foot against her leg under the table and smiling at her, as Ryan asked why Beckett had been over at Castles anyway. "Um, well, um we were just going over that one case that we were working on at that time... You know..." Beckett said. "Yea, I mean Beckett and I are friends, we can see each other outside of work right? Don't you and Espo hang out on the weekends? Who cares what we do?"

Castle said, earning himself a kick under the table after Ryan looked at him saying "Well on that topic, spending time together, you seem to be together a lot lately, you go home together, go out " undercover" together, hey do you notice that the common word here is together?"

Beckett grimaced, and Lanie asked "So what was that there Kate, why do you look so embarrassed, do you to have something to hide?" Castle looked at Kate, as she shook her head fiercely, clenching her thighs together as Castle put his had teasingly on her thigh, higher up than she needed at the moment. "Well?" Esposito asked? "Do you have something to tell us guys?"

"Well," Beckett began slowly, getting Castle back by putting her hand over his on top of the table, and pulling her finger slowly along his hand causing him to suck in a deep breath, "Castle and I, we are..."

All the eyes along the table were on them with hopeful, yet evilly teasing looks. Castles face completely blank not knowing what she was going to say, tensed up,

"We are... Leaving!" She said dropping his hand on the table with a hard thump, and getting up.

"Yeah, you're right Beckett, it's late, hey I'll give you a ride okay?" Castle stumbled, as Lanie looked aghast, and yelled after them "Hey Castle, give her a kiss goodnight... A long kiss!" "Yea, in your dreams!" Beckett called back as they left.

"And in my dreams." Castle muttered to Beckett as they walked through the parking lot to her car. "Nu un, writer boy," Kate whispered in his ear, "in your reality. Right. Now."

She said and then felt his hot mouth on hers, her body pushed up against the car, bending into him, her hands tangled in his hair, his in hers. Kate moaned into his mouth, as he slipped his tongue into hers, as they gasped against each other. They held tightly together, Castles hand traveling up her shirt slightly, as she whispered to him to stop, they were in public. Yet she did nothing to enforce what she had just said. Their passion rising, they tried to slow, Rick's voice in her ear telling her they should go to his house. Immediately.

They pushed together slowly one last time, and they had just broken apart,

smiling and still pressing light kisses on each others lips, when they heard a loud

voice, one that sounded much like a certain friend of theirs going "Damn girl, we

were right!" They turned around in stunned silence to the grinning faces of Lanie,

Ryan, and Esposito.
