After another long day at the precinct, Beckett was more tired than ever, even though she had fallen asleep at her desk around noon.
"Why didn't you wake me up?!" She had asked Castle.
"Because you were tired... and too cute to be disturbed."
At 7:00, she got up to refill her cup of coffee for the hundredth time that day. Castle watched her from his place to the side of her desk. It was getting late, and he thought he should probably get going to get ready for the movie.
When Beckett returned, she nearly fell over when she saw the empty chair beside her desk.
Wow, its only seven, and writerboy's gone. Stop the press, new record!
Then she stopped dead when she realized why. As she sat down, a small bright yellow sticky note stared at her from her computer screen.
Don't forget. I'll pick you up in an hour. Movies at 8:30
Castle :)
Kate absent-mindedly started twirling her hair when she heard Ryan and Esposito chuckle from behind.
"Aww."
"Would you look at that. Detective's got a date with writerboy... right?" Esposito snickered.
"About time, isn't it Detective?" Ryan smirked playfully.
Beckett whipped around in her chair to glare at the two. She knew this was going to happen.
"It's not a date!" She snapped.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh. And water's not wet." Esposito rolled his eyes.
"I'm dead serious-"
"Oooh, defensive are we?" Ryan chuckled.
Beckett stood up quickly, trying to hide her blushes. "What are you... 12?"
Esposito and Ryan looked at each other and smirked.
"No, but by the looks of it, you are the way you were twirlin' your hair," said Ryan.
She twitched, biting her lip.
"What's wrong with going to the movies with a friend and his daughter?" She replied quickly. Kate was running out of options to Ryan and Esposito's playful remarks.
They just might playfully happen to have a gun in their faces in a minute.
Her two co-workers completely ignored the fact Alexis was coming along. "Oh right, right..." Esposito started. "You just going 'as friends'." Ryan joined in on the major emphasizing of 'as friends' by using air quotations with his partner.
"I don't have time for this." Beckett stated flatly, grabbing her coat and bag.
"Oh, no, wouldn't want to be late, now would we?"
The two detectives watched Detective Kate Beckett strode for the elevator, giving them one last famous Beckett glare. They both chuckled as they turned to each other when she was gone.
"20 bucks say they kiss."
"30 say they have a little sleepover."
"You're on, man." Ryan smirked as he and Esposito shook hands.
