Thanks for all the positive feedback I hope that you enjoy this chapter :)

Castle had headed out of the precinct after dropping off a coffee for Beckett and headed for a taxi to take him to the nearest mall. Once he had arrived he headed into the shop and hope to find what would be the perfect dress for her. He had one in mind, it had to be a light green colour so that it would match her eyes. He began looking around when a store attendant came up to him.

"Hello can I be of any assistance?" She smiled at him.

He looked down at her name tag. "No thank you Lucy I'm alright."

She sighed and walked off. *All the hot guys are taken* Before spotting someone else putting on her cheery grin and walking up to him.

Castle shook his head to himself and chuckled. He was quickly browsing through the dresses. He wasn't having much luck they were all either to glitzy for Beckett's liking, to low cut, not long enough, didn't show enough for Castle's liking or was the wrong colour. He sighed to himself knowing that he probably wouldn't find a dress here.

He headed outside the shop and could smell the fresh chocolate chip cookies that had just been taken from the oven of the bakery a couple of stores over. He could then smell the fresh coffee that had been brewed from the coffee cart across from him. He saw another shop that did dresses and headed over to it.

Walking in he headed straight over to the dresses and found the exact colour he wanted. Now it was just a matter of finding the right dress. Yet again to glitzy, didn't show enough, or it was to short. He was just about to give up when he moved another hanger and found one that caught his eyes. It was a long flowing dress that showed just enough, it wouldn't drag on the floor seeing as it was just about the right length for Beckett. It was simple yet eye catching, just like Beckett castle thought. He grabbed the dress from the rack and headed over to the cashier. Handed her his card she scanned the item and then put it in a zip up bag for him.

"Will that be all?" She asked him with a smile.

"I believe it is for now." He gave her a smile back taking the dress and his card.

"Thank you, have a lovely day."

"You too."

He walked off but didn't mishear the words the cashier said to the woman standing next to her.

"Isn't it lovely when a man buys a dress for his girlfriend. I wish I could have a man like that." She sighed contentedly.

"She's one lucky woman."

*That's where you're wrong* He thought to himself. *I'm the lucky one.*

He was just heading out dress carried over his shoulder when another store caught his eyes. One he knew to well. Tiffany's.

He headed in and smiled at the woman behind the counter. "Good morning , what are we after today?" It seemed they knew him to well.

"I'm looking for something simple." He stated.

"Well that's new you usually go for something extravagant and eye catching."

"Trust me I don't need anymore eye catching." He chuckled to himself.

"So who's it for this time? Girlfriend?"

"Well you could say that. It's for my partner at work. She's accompanying me to the premiere of Heat Wave and I need something to go with this dress."

"Oh that detective of yours who the press is always talking about."

Castle laughed. "I see you hear those rumours as well then."

"Right well you want something simple and not to eye catching. I think I can work with that." The woman started to search the display cases. She quickly scanned her eyes from top to bottom left to right until she came across something he might like. "What about this?"

He walked over to the display case and looked at what she was pointing to. It was a simple necklace on a chain. It held a single pendant on a diamond. It was simple, not to glitzy and just eye catching enough. "I'll take it." He smiled.

Handing her his card she wrapped it up for him and then he made his way to his car. Slowly putting the dress in the back seat and the little Tiffany's box in his pocket he checked his phone. He'd be early for picking up Kate but then again since he didn't drive his car much and finding a space to park near the precinct was not possible, then he might just be on time. If he was lucky.

Kate was on her third cup of coffee and was just almost finished with her paperwork, she had been working non stop for the past 2 hours and decided on a break. She looked at the clock it was half an hour until Castle was meant to be picking her up, but then again since when had Castle been on time. For anything. She decided she would go and see Lanie since there really wasn't anything else to do. Oh how she wished she could have a case right now.

She reached the elevator and headed down to the morgue. Reaching the bottom floor she looked around, yep just as she expected. Empty. She walked down the corridor stopping when she came across the double doors. She stepped through and smiled, Lanie was just finishing up with someone on her table.

"Well hi there Lanie." Beckett smiled to her.

Lanie finished what she was doing and smiled. "Hey there girl what you doing down here?"

"Oh you know, just had some time to drag so thought I'd come see you."

"Oh how nice."

"Yeah I thought so to."

They both smiled and Lanie sat on the sterilised autopsy table. "So how's writer boy?"

"Oh you know same old annoying Castle."

"Done the deed with him yet?" She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively at her.

"LANIE!" She shouted.

"Hey, keep your voice down," She pointed behind her. "People are trying to rest."

"You'll be one of them soon if you don't give it a rest." She laughed. Lanie just shook her head. "Castle and I aren't and never will be an item."

Lanie thought about this "How much you wanna bet?"

"I don't want to bet anything."

"So you are unsure of yourself then."

"No I'm not I just don't believe in betting on other people's lives."

"Oh don't worry Kate, it's only yours and Castle's and I'm betting by the end of the month you'll be together."

Beckett was in thought. "Why the end of the month?"

"Well because there's a certain event that is taking place soon. And I know that a certain person is going to be there accompanying another certain person."

Beckett was deep in thought. "Lanie what are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about the premiere of Heat Wave and how Castle has asked you to go."

"How did you know that?"

"Oh please word travels fast around here I thought you knew that by now."

Beckett sighed and relented. "Okay he asked me to go and I said yes."

"I knew it." Lanie squealed and Beckett put her hand over her mouth.

"Lanie. Shhh there are people trying to rest." She said repeating her friends earlier words.

"Oh don't worry about them they can't hear us, unless you haven't noticed Beckett they are dead."

Beckett just rolled her eyes. "Okay then Lanie, you've had enough today. I'm going to go but I will talk to you soon."

Lanie grabbed her hand. "Hey you can't leave me down here, we were getting some serious talking done."

"Oh trust me I can and I will. Like I said we will TALK later. Okay" She smiled and walked back to the elevator to meet Castle. She walked down the hall and waited for the elevator to arrive, as she waited for it to arrive she wondered what kind of dress Castle had gotten her. Maybe it was a red since she had apparently looked nice in red. Or a black one that was simple and elegant that showed off her curves. As she was thinking the elevator announced it's arrival and she got in pressing the button for her floor. It began it's ascension and stopped on the first floor opening the doors she found herself staring into the eyes of her partner.

"Well hello there Kate." He grinned.

"Good afternoon Castle."

"Are you ready for lunch?"

"Yes I just have to go and grab my purse and jacket."

He hopped into the elevator beside her and grinned.

"So did you go and find a dress for me?"

"Why yes of course I did. I never fail. Well actually there was that one time…"

Beckett chuckled to herself shaking her head. "Okay then Castle I think I get it."

They then rode in silence up the remaining set of floors, they stepped out and Beckett went to get her belongings.

"Well there's the man of the hour." Ryan said grinning.

"Well afternoon to you too Ryan." Castle said grinning at him.

"Hey Castle I want to ask you something."

"Sure go ahead."

"Well me and Esposito were wondering why you didn't bring us coffee in the morning like you do with Beckett."

"Well maybe it has something to do with the fact that she's my partner and you're not. Or maybe I'm shadowing her and not you. Or maybe because it's just a nice gesture."

Ryan pondered this for a second. "Well how about if Esposito got a sex change would you bring him coffee then."

"I really don't think that would make a difference."

"Told you." Beckett laughed at them and headed for the elevator.

Esposito then moved to sit in front of Ryan. "Hey I thought we said you'd be the one that got the sex change the next time.

"Well you were used in this one, I get the next joke we make."

"You know what Ryan I don't believe you." He said glaring at him.

"Oh come on Esposito you are making a big deal out of nothing."

"Yeah sure okay man. Castle, Ryan wants the sex change, not me."

Castle and Beckett were already at the elevators so this little fact had been shouted out across the whole floor. There were detectives turning to look at Ryan who was now glaring at Esposito. "Oh it's on."

Beckett and Castle were walking out of the precinct and towards Castle's car, luckily he had found a spot nearby so they didn't have to go far.

"So what do you feel like today? Chinese? Italian? Or maybe Thai?"

"I feel like something quick and tasty."

Castle pondered for a minute. "Ok then so that would make it Remy's"

Beckett smiled. "Why Castle you know me to well."

"Oh I know, I spoil you to much." He winked at her and she laughed. She caught a quick glimpse in the back seat of his car.

"Is that my dress?"

"Yes but you aren't seeing it. Not until next week."

"But why?" She looked at him and tried to look upset.

"Because it's a surprise."

Since he was standing next to her still she got an evil grin on her face.

"Erm…Beckett I'm kinda worried now."

"Why Castle?"

"Because you've got that look in your eye and a really evil smirk."

She advanced on him and he ended up being backed into his car. She eyed him up and down and then trailed her finger from his chest to the top of his shirt.

"Is there anything I can do to persuade you?" She was still grinning at him.

Castle held in his spot, he didn't dare move an inch because this side of Beckett was well it was getting him hot.

"Erm..Uhh…"

"Well the great Richard Castle stuck for words. In that case I'll just take a quick look."

She moved to open the back door but Castle reacted quicker than her. Just as she reached for the handle Castle moved with a quick speed and grabbed her by her waist spinning her around so she was the one backed up against the car.

He looked at her and then slowly moved his face forward. *oh my god what is he doing?* Beckett couldn't believe what she was seeing. What was he going to do? Why did she feel the tables had been turned? And why didn't she try to move?

Before Castle touched her lips he moved to her ear. "One more move like that and I'll have to do something you will like very, very much." He whispered to her quietly and by what Beckett thought very seductively.

She had closed her eyes as the mixture of his aroma, the closeness of his body and him whispering in her ear like that. Castle stood up straight and composed himself. "So to Remy's?"

Her eyes opened in an instant and she coughed. "Erm..yeah…to Remy's."

They both got in the car driving off. Beckett thinking what it would be like if she tried to do one more move like that, and Castle wondering and secretly hoping she would try something like that.

A/N: Well that's all for tonight more tomorrow after I get back from work. I hope that you are liking it and if anything seems off please let me know. Next chapter has Kate and Alexis plotting
