A/N: Well I read Heat Wave today and thought that i'd incorporate a bit of it into the story to go with the movie. I hope you guys like it and the next chapter will be up later today or tomorrow. Thanks for your support and kind reviews.

As soon as they were all out lights were flashing from the photographs being taken of them, everyone had a huge smile on their faces and they waved.

"Well Castle this is a turnout." Esposito said as he looked around.

"Hey I'm one of New York's bestsellers I expect nothing less." He smiled and then grabbed Beckett and put a hand around her lower back. "So are you ready to go meet some big shot celebrities?"

She smiled as she leaned into him. "Well I guess my night could be worse. Let's go."

Everyone headed down the red carpet smiling and laughing. Crazed fans were shouting for Castle and many reporters were getting more photo shots. They reached the entrance and a reporter managed to get them for an interview.

" we were just wondering if we could have a quick interview."

"Why of course." He smiled at her.

"So first how do you feel about your books coming to reality and into the big screen?"

"Well I'm excited as most people are, it's a dream come true. I just hope they did my book justice."

"Great, so can we be expecting a new Nikki Heat book any time soon?"

"Well I'm working on the next book now, so that should be in stores in about 3 months."

"Oh really care to share the details?"

"I'm afraid you can't know any details."

"Oh come on just a small one. How about Nikki and Rook, are they officially together now?"

"Now that would just be spoiling the surprise."

They both laughed. "So anyway back to the movie. Did you have any involvement in the making of it?"

"Well yes, I made a few trips to L.A. when I wasn't busy doing research or writing."

"So you've been impressed at the making of it?"

"Well yes, I'm impressed they stuck it out this long and continued it." They laughed again.

"So the question that is on every woman's mind. Is there someone special in your life yet or can we still call you New York's most eligible bachelor."

"Well, I'm sad to say you can't anymore, I have someone very close to me and well I don't know where I'd be without her." He smiled.

"Well I'm sure you will have many disappointed fans out there."

"Yes, but hey it's always good to know that I've got many women to fall back on." They both laughed again.

"Well thanks for the interview, I hope that you enjoy what is hopefully going to become a major hit."

He smiled at her. "Why thank you."

He moved towards Beckett and smiled at her. "Ready to go watch the movie of a lifetime?"

"Why when's that?"

"That's not funny." He looked at her and she just smiled at him.

"You wouldn't expect anything less from me."

"No that's true I wouldn't."

"Hey are you lovebirds coming or not?" Lanie looked at them and sighed. "All the good seats will be taken."

"Fine we're coming." Castle then put his arm around Beckett again and leaned in close. "You know I've heard the back seats are amazing."

"How about no Castle."

"Oh come on Beckett, it'll be fun."

"Anymore talk like that and you are sitting next to Ryan and Esposito."

He thought about his options. "How about a dark secluded corner at the after party?"

"Still going to be a no."

"You are no fun at all Kate."

"Oh you have no idea how fun I can be Rick."

"Well now I'm intrigued."

"And you will have to be until later." She winked at him and followed Lanie to find some seats for everyone.

They found a row of seats in the middle row and they had an excellent view of the screen. Castle and Beckett sat at down and Castle leaned in close again. "Hey Beckett."

"What Castle?" She looked at him. They were inches away from each other.

"I was wondering what you meant by I'd find out later."

"Exactly what it meant."

"But what if I can't wait that long."

"Well then you'll have to suffer."

Castle leaned back in his chair. "Oh and Castle."

"Yes."

"If you even think about fake yawning and putting your arm around me I will hurt you."

"I love you too." Before he knew what he was saying the words had come out and Beckett stared at him. Before she could say anything the lights dimmed and the movies started. Castle at that moment was thankful.

Halfway through the movie she looked over at Castle and he was to concentrated in the movie to notice her. The reason why was obvious it was the scene they were all waiting for, the hook up between Rook and Nikki. Rook had just poured salt on his hand and Nikki went to lick it off, she drank her shot of tequila and then reached for his wrist taking the lime. It was the Nikki's turn she did the same for Rook and then they stared at each other. They slowly leaned in and then when she felt Castle's hand slip into hers, their fingers entwined in the dark cinema.

She smiled to herself and then glanced beside her at Lanie at which something caught her eye Esposito was next to her and they were holding hands. She couldn't believe her eyes. She nudged Castle who looked at her expectantly. She then smiled and nodded her head at Lanie and Esposito's hands. He grinned to himself and then looked back at Beckett. She smiled softly to him and then broke contact looking back to the screen. She was so going to have words with Lanie later.

They walked out of the entrance door the same way they had come in it had since quietened down because of the rain. Beckett turned to Castle."Hey Castle how cliché would it be if I grabbed your hand and we ran to the limo?"

He laughed. "I'm thinking very."

"Well in the case." She grabbed his hand ran outside and then stopped midway. They stood in the rain staring at each other and the both laughed. Castle was getting the rain all down his face and his hair had started to stick up.

"Kate."

"Yes."

"I meant what I said in there tonight."

She looked at him puzzled.

"I do love you."

Beckett held her breath, she had never heard someone tell her that and mean it like he did, but there was one thing that was sure she felt the same. "Rick."

"Yes."

"I think I love you too."

He smiled and picked her from the floor and spun her round. He put her back on the floor and put his hands on her waist. She then leaned up and kissed him.

Lanie, Esposito, Alexis, Ryan, Chet and Martha watched and smiled.

"How long do you think we should wait until we get them?" Ryan asked.

"Oh let's just give them a few more minutes, it's a happy moment." Martha smiled at her son, she knew he had found happiness again.

"Do you think they'd mind if we went to the after party without them." Esposito asked hopefully.

"Right now I don't think they would." Lanie laughed.

"Well in that case…" Ryan and Esposito headed for the limo.

"Hey I said they wouldn't right now, it doesn't mean we are going without them"
