Author's note: Yes, I posted the other chapter on the same day. Well I had nothing else to do so I decided to post it when my friend and I decided to continue our conversation. Now I'm slowly writing Chapter 3. (:


Beckett walked out of the break room and Castle followed closely behind. Beckett grabs her jacket and phone and walked towards the elevator. Castle asked Esposito and Ryan if they wanted anything before he headed towards the elevator.

They walked into the elevator together as the door close, Castle hesitated to grab Beckett's hand. Castle was taken by surprised when he felt Beckett's hand intertwined with his. Castle turned Beckett to face him and their gazed locked to each other eyes.

They reached the ground floor and saw Cap. Montgomery.

"So…you two finally came to your senses…" Montgomery said looking down at their intertwined hands.

"Umm… what are you talking about? We were just um.. talking…" Beckett quickly said while removing her hand from Castle's.

"Uh-huh" said Montgomery with a smirk before heading into the elevator.

Once the elevator door closed, Beckett took Castle's hand and intertwine their fingers again. They walked quietly to Remy's together.


They ordered they're usual at Remy's.

"Ummm…Castle?" Beckett asked worriedly.

"Yes Kate?" Castle responded casually.

"Do you want this to go relationship and by this I mean us dating." Beckett said quietly.

"Well, I don't know. Its up to you, Kate. I know you don't like your personal life to be shared, so it's up to you." Castle said tenderly.

"I don't know either, Castle. I really like you and I really want this to work, maybe we should keep this low-profile for a bit." Beckett said.

"Anything for you, Kate." Castle said smiling at Beckett.

When they were done, Castle asked for the check and the headed out. Castle took Beckett's hand into his and intertwined their fingers. Surprising Castle, Beckett leaned a little more into Castle's side.

"So, Castle is tonight's dinner be casual or casual-formal? And what about Alexis and Martha? Beckett asked.

"Casual, you can just wear jeans and a t-shirt. Alexis is going to be with Ashley and Martha will be at her school teaching.' Castle responded

"Ohhh.. so just the two of us, how convenient." Beckett said with raised eyebrows.

"I promise, no funny business." Castle responded and smiled at Beckett, who smiled back.

The continued walking in comfortable silence. They rode the elevator up in comfortable silence, once the elevators opened Beckett gave Castle's hand a last squeeze and untwined their hands.

Beckett sat down at her desk and started working on her paperwork, while Castle was playing on his phone. Ryan and Esposito looked over and got suspicious, they noticed that Castle is grinning like a idiot and Beckett keeps peeping over to see what Castle is doing.


It was now 5PM at the precinct and everyone was still busy doing paperwork.

"Well, I'm going to head to my loft now, see you later at 7?" Castle said as he stood up from his chair.

"Yeah, see you later at 7." said Beckett as she looked up to Castle.

Castle brushed his hand lightly against hers and Beckett smiled. Castle headed towards the elevator, when he stood inside the elevator, he thought to himself this date is going to be perfect.


It was 6 o'clock and Beckett is getting ready to leave the precinct.

"See you tomorrow Esposito. See you tomorrow Ryan." Beckett said as she walked towards the elevator.

"Ryan…she's heading home a bit too earlier today." Esposito asked questioningly.

"Well, she hasn't been getting good sleep these past few days. She deserves the sleep." Ryan said.

Beckett got home and into the shower, in a few minutes she was out. She went to her closet and got her navy blue skinny jeans and a gray v-neck with a leather jacket and boots. She tied her hair into a loose bun, with some lipstick and her mother's necklace. She thought, casual yet appealing. She was nervous for this date, she really hopes that she will not screw things up. She finally knew that she wanted this to work and she hopes she found her 'One and done.'

She left her house, got into a cab and told the cab driver Castle's address.


Next chapter is the date! (:
