Sorry for such a long wait. I have been really busy lately. Hope you like this.
Kate woke up the next morning to the smell of coffee drifting to her. At first she was calm and happy and then she realized that she shouldn't be smelling coffee. To be smelling coffee meant someone was in her apartment. Her hand slid under her pillow to rest on her gun and she sat up and quickly scanned her room. Letting her gun go out first she opened her bedroom door and searched her living room. That is where she found him.
"What the hell are you doing here Castle?" He looked up at her innocently.
"Montgomery told me to come get you. No one could get a hold of you and apparently everyone was waiting for you. I was on my way when they called. I said I would come make sure you were okay." He gave her a smile which grew wider when he saw the pj's she was wearing. "Those are nice."
"Shut up. How did you get in?" She asked as she took one of the two coffee cups from him. She took a long drink letting it warm her. She looked at a clock noticing it was nearly nine. Normally she would have been awake but her alarm must not have gone off.
"I used emergency key you gave me last month." He said.
"Oh yeah." She had forgotten about giving it to him. She kept losing her keys recently and kept getting locked out of her apartment so she gave him the key to hold onto for her because she didn't like the idea of leaving it somewhere in the hall or with Lanie because Lanie constantly lost things too. "I should get ready. Are you just going to ride with me?" She asked knowing his answer would be yes.
"If you don't mind." He sat back down on her couch while she went off to change her clothes.
She pulled on her favorite pair of jeans and then couldn't find a good shirt. All the ones she normally would wear were on the floor dirty. But then there was her new shirt. The one in the living room. She pulled on the first shirt she could grab before she trotted out to grab the new shirt.
"When Castle saw her a smile spread across his lips."
"What?"
"There's a… you have a stain." Castle said. Kate looked down. She had on the shirt Castle had spilled coffee all over last year. She had tried multiple times to get the stain out of it but in the end failed but kept the shirt for a night shirt.
"Yeah, thanks for that." She said grabbing the shirt that was hanging over the back of her couch and heading back to her bedroom.
When she entered her bathroom she felt slightly embarrassed. Her hair was sticking in every direction. She knew just by the start of her day that it was going to be long. She made sure she looked extra good today. She felt stupid but she wanted to be the girl on the team that Castle's eyes glued to. She ran her fingers through her hair one last time before going back to her living room. Castle gave her that amazing smile that made her warm inside.
"I still think the pj's were nice but the new shirt is great." He said and she felt a slight blush ride to her cheeks. She turned quickly away to hide the blush, and headed for the door knowing that he would follow.
….
"Sorry to keep you. My alarm clock decided to take the day off." Kate said as she walked into the break room.
"It's no problem." Agent McGee said.
"Where's agent Gibbs?" Kate asked.
"Don't know. He didn't tell us. He does it a lot though." Tony said with a smile.
…
Abby stood by her computer staring at her phone knowing that any second now Gibbs…
Her phone rang.
"You have a gift." Abby said after reading the caller ID and seeing that it was Gibbs.
"And so do you." Gibbs said and Abby felt an eyebrow rise.
"What do you mean?" the elevator dinged. She turned to see Palmer walking in with a Caf Pow. "Did you do this?" She said into the phone after taking the Caf Pow from Palmer. He smiled and went back to the elevator not wanting to bother her while she was on the phone.
"Yeah Abbs. Now, what do you have?"
Okay, so it was pointless but I have been in this stuck place with everything I try to write lately. I hope you all liked it anyway.
Please review.
