Kyra slammed the car door behind her, her heels clicking loudly along the stone walkway, leading up to her massive posh looking house.

"You're girlfriend, doesn't seem to keen on me," Kate commented, watching Kyra from the car window.

"She's not my girlfriend," Rick said rubbing the sweat of his forehead, Kyra was one of those people where she was either sweet or sour, An unfortunate trait she had inherited from her mother who was more sour than sweet and was one of the snobbiest people you will ever meet.

"Well, whatever she is, she sure has got a tight leash on you."

"She does not." Rick protested, rolling down the windows. "Are you kidding, she's got your nuts crushed."

"No she doesn't my nut's are perfectly fine and I have a perfectly good aim." Rick protested once again, his hands repetitively hitting the steering wheel.

"Okay, easy," Kate said throwing up her hands. "Are you still going to drop me home or you going to leave me to battle it out on the streets of New York?" Kate asked with a teasing smile.

"I don't know you seem like the type of girl who can handle danger," Rick said returning the teasing smile.

He liked the banter he shared with Kate, it was unlike anything he had shared with his friends or Kyra before.

Kate scoffed as she looked around the neighbourhood. "Trust me, I think the only danger to occur on this street would be if somebody's maid didn't put the bins out on the right night."

"Or if Mrs Kingman was to find out about Mr Kingman affair with the smith's 20-year-old daughter." Rick grinned looking at the Kingman's house.

"You sure, do spend a lot of time here don't you?"

"Yeah, Kyra and I have been friends ever since we were 6, she's been, my only friend my whole entire school life."

"Your only friend, huh, I guess the stuff I've heard is untrue." Kate shrugged.

"Stuff, what stuff have you heard?" Rick asked curiously. "That you're the school's dream boat, every girl want's you."

"Well, I guess it's half true, half untrue."

"Meaning?" Kate asked confused. "I consider myself pretty handsome but the problem is that I play it too safe. I'm no James Dean."

"James Dean is overrated."

"I know, But I just wish that I could be a bit more adventurous."

"Wish," Kate repeated in a confused tone. "Rick, we are in the golden stage of life, we have the world as our playground and what a better playground than New York city, Basically what I'm getting at is don't be scared of the playground, embrace and enjoy the playground, don't stand back and be afraid of it, Because soon enough you will be old and grey and in a nursing home regretting that you didn't embrace it."

"Wow.," Rick said, the only word he could manage to get out because for the first time ever in his life he was speechless.

"Drive back to the party." Kate grinned at him. "But I thought I was driving you home?" He asked confused.

"You are, but first were taking a detour."

"You do realise that you have to open your eye's, right?" Kate asked Rick who was currently sitting on her motorcycle with his eye's shut tightly, his hand's gripping onto the handlebar for dear life.

"I'm wearing the wrong clothing for this, aren't I supposed to be wearing all leather, right?"

"Not unless your planning on joining a gang." Kate teased, crossing her arms. "I thought you wanted to do something adventurous?"

"Yeah I do."

"Well, what's more, adventurous than a motorbike?"

"Swimming in a public pool, If you really think about it, every time you pay, you're not paying to swim in a pool, your paying to swim in a pool full of strangers pee."

"I think we will just stick with the bike," Kate suggested. "Now go."

"What if I fall off?"

"I pay for your medical bill, Now quit stalling and go!" Kate growled.

"Alright here goes nothing," Rick said taking a deep breath.

"Got the first aid kit," Kate said rushing down the stairs and walking towards the dining room table. "Here sit down," Kate said pulling out a chair from the dining table.

"Um...I..I can't really sit down."

"Oh..so they are in your?" Kate awkwardly paused the subject. "We should get you to the emergency room."

"I've got so many rose thorns in my butt right now, I don't care, where we go or who take's them out, just as long as you remove them from my butt!" Rick snapped at her.

/

"He's going to be okay." The emergency room nurse said pulling back the curtains. "Thank you so much," Kate said standing up from her seat and walking towards Rick's bed.

"Hey, Have I mentioned that I'm sorry?" Kate asked playing with the loose thread of her guns and rose's shirt.

"Yeah, you may have mentioned it a couple of times." Rick grinned, which made Kate smile and made her feel a little bit better. "But I enjoyed it, apart from crashing into the rose bush, we should do it again sometime?" Rick suggested.

"Let's do it, Expect the next time let's do it without the rose bush." Kate smiled at him and he couldn't help himself but smile despite the amount of pain that he was in.

"Well, I better get going," Kate said turning around."Kate, hold on." Rick called out after her. "Yes?" Kate said walking back into the small room.

"You never got around to giving me your number and I would really like to see you again."

Kate smiled and walked towards his bed and sat down on his bed, she cupped his face, leant in and kissed him on the lips.

After a minute, Kate pulled away from supposedly the best kiss both of them have ever or ever will have. "Wow," Rick muttered, rubbing his nose against hers. '

Kate pushed the hair from his forehead and kissed his forehead. "I'll see you around, Castle." She said getting up from the bed.

"When?" He asked confused.

"Sooner, then you'll expect," Kate said as she walked out of his hospital room and hopefully not his life.
