Hey guys =) I'm soo sorry it's been so long since I have published... school and life has been busy... I feel bad :(

And I'm probably still going to disappoint because I only have a chapter, and one more on the way=/... I feel so bad :'( I hope to get more time to write!

Enjoy =)

Kate didn't know what to think.

Half of her hated herself for giving into Castle that easily. In less than an hour, she would be sitting in a movie theater next to him.

Castle. In. A. Movie. Theater.

But she hated herself even more because the more she thought about it, the more she was looking forward to it.

She couldn't believe she gave in to him, let alone looked forward to spending a night with Rick Castle.

What puzzled her even more was, she never cared if he didn't forgive her, or what he thought. So why, did she now?

Kate examined herself in the mirror. She scanned her body up and down, turned to the side to examine her profile, and rotated back to the front. She had done this several times now, but still wasn't pleased with the way she looked.

She had chosen a pair of tight-fitting jeans, which she was satisfied with, but she was worried it looked like she was 'trying to hard'. Not that she was.... And her top? The green top she currently wore was... way to extravagant for a movie. She felt way overdressed. It wasn't like they were going to some fancy restaurant... Well... Castle was driving, so you couldn't exactly trust that...

Beckett sighed irritatedly. Where was Lanie when you needed her?

Oh, God. What was she going to tell Lanie? Known Ryan and Esposito, she probably didn't have to say a word... if of course Lanie didn't already know herself. She somehow... always knew.

Kate glanced at the clock. She flinched, rushing to her closet. It was 7:55... Castle would be there in five minutes...and she still wasn't ready! She dug through the piles of clothes in her closet when she discovered a deep blue button-up blouse she forgot she had.

It was much like the light blue one she wore the first day she had ever met Castle. The day that he had asked her to dinner, the little blue blouse that had inspired the creation of Nikki Heat.

"Why?" She asked."So I can be another one of your conquests?"

"Or I could be one of yours."

Beckett smiled as she straitened her blouse. This will bring back memories, she thought.

She couldn't help but to wonder... what if she had said yes? What would've happened that night... over dinner?

The loud ring of the doorbell shattered her thoughts. She glanced at the clock. 8:00, and he was here. Not even a minute late.

"Coming!" she called. Kate hurried to the mirror for one last look. She patted her hair, brushing it out of her face. She didn't want to look like she cared, but she had put some mascara and eyeliner on.

When she got to the door, she stopped and took a deep breath. Exhaling, she opened the door.

"Good evening, Detective," She was greeted by the usual bright and cheerful Rick Castle.

"Castle," Kate smiled. "Not a minute late."

"Oh, you really think I could wait long enough to be late?"

Beckett just rolled her eyes with a small smile.

Castle chuckled. She really expected him to wait to go to the movies with Detective Katherine Beckett? Boy, could she be a real mystery.

Mystery or not, even though she wasn't any more dressed than she usually was at work, when Rick saw her, she still took his breath away.

This was a feeling Rick wasn't used to. Sure, some of the women he met at his book signings and such could be breath-taking-ly sexy, drop-dead gorgeous, but something about Kate Beckett was different. Yes, she was both of those things, for sure, but he didn't feel the same way about her than he did about all those other women. It was always just about the sex with them. It was always the same routine. "Hey, your sexy, wanna come to my place?"

"Oh, I'd love that." (Giggle.)

Next morning, "Hey, it's was nice knowing ya, See ya 'round."

But Kate.... she was... worth more than that. She meant a great deal more than that to him. The weirdest thing was, he didn't want her to be another one of his conquests. He wanted a actual, real, loving relationship...

And there she stood in front of him, the usual amazing women Kate Beckett was, not one hair out of place signature. And that blouse...

"So.... are you ready?"

Her question snapped Castle out of his thoughts. With a huge, little boy smile, his eyes wandered down to the deep blue blouse, almost the exact color of his.

"Why yes, I am." He began. "And would you look at that... we match,"

Kate looked at his shirt, then down at hers, as if she didn't already notice. "Would you look at that, we do," She smiled sweetly, hiding the smallest eye roll. I'm a detective, and he thinks I haven't noticed?

"I knew we had a connection," Castle smirked.

This time, Beckett exaggerated a huge eye roll. With a playful slap, Kate grabbed her coat and wallet, and pushed Castle out of the way so she could close and lock her apartment door. "Come on, we shouldn't keep Alexis waiting,"

Rick grabbed his arm dramatically as if she hurt him, and followed her out of the building with a smile.

I feel like that chapter wasn't that good =/ Sorry if you agree :O My writing is getting better though, I have to admit. I tried to hurry on this one because I feel so guilty :P

Don't forget to press that button ;)
