Beckett sat at home the next night and sighed to herself, whenever she had come from spending the night with Castle, Alexis and sometimes Martha she always felt like she was missing something. She got up from where she was sitting and went into the kitchen to pour herself another glass of wine. Why did Castle have to come into her life like this and bring up emotions she had long since hid from everyone. She groaned to herself and got the rocky road ice cream from out of the freezer. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, funny she wasn't expecting anyone tonight. She went to the door and looked through the peephole she pulled the door open and came face to face with no other than Castle.

"Evening Beckett."

"Castle what are you doing here?" She asked him.

"Well you know since we didn't get to have a movie night last night fully I thought that maybe we could watch a movie and maybe just hang out."

Beckett just kept staring at him, how did he know when she wanted to just hang out.

"So can I come in?" He asked hopefully, holding some movies and some Chinese in the other hand.

"Oh yeah sure." She moved aside and Castle went to sit down placing the Chinese and movies on the table. Beckett went into the kitchen to get some beer and when she returned Castle was near the stereo flicking through the music.

"What are you doing Castle?" She laughed placing the bottles on the table next to the food.

"This." He turned it on and a soft melody filled the air. She laughed how he loved hearing that. He slowly walked up to her and held out his hand. "Care for a dance Beckett?"

She stared at him and her eyes shone brightly and she slowly smiled as she took his hand. His hands went to her waist and held her closely as her hands reached around his neck and she placed her head on his chest. They slowly moved to the music and Beckett closed her eyes, she hadn't felt like this in well she couldn't remember how long. As the song ended Castle looked at her and took a deep breath he decided that he was going to take a leap, what's the worst that could happen? Well she dumps you as your partner and then who will be the inspiration for Nikki Heat? A voice told him. No he decided not to listen.

He took a breath and with a shaky voice. "Kate?"

She loosened her arms and looked at him. "Yes Castle."

"I want to ask you something and I don't know how you will react but I'm going to ask you anyway even if the consequences…"

He was cut off when he finger was placed over his mouth. "Castle what do you want to ask me?"

"Well I was wondering if when you go the premiere with me…" He took a deep breath. "You'dgoasmygirlfriend." He said it that quickly that Beckett had to stare.

"Castle unfortunately I'm still taking night classes in trying to talk fast to people." She said lightly chuckling. "So this time do you want to say it slowly?"

He shook his head. "No…Yes…Maybe."

"Well the great Richard Castle stuck for something to say." She backed up and she looked in his eyes. "What is it?"

"Would you like to go to the premier as…my girlfriend." He said quietly then averted his eyes looking anywhere but at her.

She stood staring at him, her heart beating rapidly, what was she going to say? Did she want to be? Well of course you do, she heard a voice in her head that sounded a lot like Lanie. After a full minute of silence, Beckett looking at him shocked and Castle looking at the bookshelf he shifted slightly.

"You know what just…"

"Yes." She said it so quietly that he didn't think he heard her properly.

"What?" He asked shocked.

"Yes." She said a lot more clearly. "I don't know what it is about you Castle but you frustrate me so much, and yet I can't stop thinking about you. I see the way you look when someone comes into the precinct for me and well…I want to give it a try even if we don't last."

He closed the distance between them and lifted his hand up to cradle her cheek. "Really?"

She smiled. "Yes."

He slowly bought his mouth to her and gave her a quick kiss on her lips, she felt her stomach "I'm so glad you said that. For a moment there I thought that I overstepped a line or something." He wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her smiling to himself. Beckett lay her head on his shoulder and slowly inhaled his scent. She slowly pulled away and went to sit down, picking up her Chinese and some beer. Castle went and sat next to her grabbing the movies. "So what do you want to watch first?"

"Well what do you have?"

"Well I got the Matrix, Terminator, Star Wars."

Beckett pondered this for a second. "Terminator, do you have the third one?"

"Of course." He pulled it out of the bag and put it in the DVD player."

They sat down in silence and the title menu came up. Starting to play the movie Beckett turned to Castle. "Castle…"

He looked at her. "Beckett…"

"Does this mean that I can look at my dress early?"

"Oh definitely not." He said shaking his head.

"Why?"

"Because I will not let you look at it early."

She leaned back against the back of the settee and sighed. "Fine."

They sat in silence as they ate their Chinese, Beckett placed her empty carton on the table and picked up her bottle of beer taking a small sip. Castle had just finished his Chinese when he leaned back and pulled Beckett to him. She sighed contentedly and rested her head on him. "And please try not falling to sleep again."

"Don't worry besides if I do at least I don't have to worry about someone watching me sleep."

"Apart from me."

"Yeah apart from you, but you watch me that often I've got used to it."

They watched the rest of the film in silence and Beckett managed to stay awake. Although Castle stroking her head didn't help her feel awake it just made her sleepy all the more. Castle stood up and picked the DVD up putting it back in it's case, Beckett stood up and placed the Chinese boxes in the bin before returning along with 2 new bottles of beer. Castle watched as she walked back in and placed 2 bottles on the table. "So what do you want to watch next?"

"You pick I don't mind." She sat back down and bought her legs to her chest. Castle turned around and walked over to her.

"What's up?"

"Oh nothing." She placed her head on her knees and looked at him. "I was just wondering, what made tonight so special that you asked me tonight to accompany you as your girlfriend. Why not on the day? Or when you asked me to go there?"

Castle stared at her and she bit her lip which he just smiled at. "Well I don't know…I just couldn't bare to hide my feelings any longer. Besides with you as my girlfriend I'm sure the sex scenes between Rook and Nikki will become really intense." He stared at her.

She laughed and then hit him. "If you think anything between our personal life will end up on the pages of your next Nikki Heat novel you have got another thing coming."

"But you can't stop me. You don't own the rights to the book and also you wouldn't find out until the book was released."

"Oh believe me Castle if I even read something in those books closely relating to anything we have experienced I will have to kill you. And don't forget I could hide the evidence that it was me."

"Do you know how hot it is when you talk like that."

She rolled her eyes and stared at him. "Oh believe me it can get hotter."

"Really care to share it with me?"

"No not really."

"Anything I can do to change your mind?"

"Nope, not in the slightest."

"You sure about that?" He inched himself closer to her.

"Oh pretty sure." She nodded her head.

Suddenly a cat jumped on the back of the settee and Castle jumped and he ended up on the floor. Beckett looked at him and then back at the cat and started to laugh. "Oh my god." She looked back at him and he was just staring at her. "I can't believe you got scared by a cat."

He sat up still on the floor and watched her clutch her sides. "God I can't breath."

"You know that wasn't funny. Who's cat is that anyway?"

"Neighbours." She stopped laughing and looked at him.

"Do you feel better now?"

"Lots, big brave Castle getting scared by a harmless cat."

"Why is your neighbours cat in your house?"

"Oh you know what cat's are like, he comes in every now and again and I give him something." She stood up and grabbed a tin of tuna from the cupboard. Setting it on a plate outside she walked back in. "You know it makes me feel like I have a pet but none of the responsibility since it's not mine."

"That wasn't nice laughing at me." He was still sitting on the floor glaring at her.

"But it was funny, coming from my point of view anyway."

Castle stared at her and held out his hand. "Care to help me up?"

She walked over to him and grabbed his hand, all of a sudden he pulled her and she landed on top of him. He started to laugh. "Now you not expecting me to do that is funny."

She looked at him devilishly. "You just wait." She placed her hand on either side of him and smiled.

"Wait for what…" He didn't finish that sentence since she had stopped him by kissing him.
