This story was floating in my head for a bit so i decided to write it. I hope you all like it and if i get good reviews i will add more. if not i guess it can just be a one-shot.

Kate walked into her living room from her bedroom and stopped in her tracks. Someone was in her house, but not just anybody, Richard Castle. He smiled at her and she felt her eyebrow rise. She didn't even know where to start. Should she yell at him for coming in unannounced or ask him how he got in without her hearing?

"What are you doing here?" She asked. He grinned that stupid grin of his that made her want to… What are you thinking! She mentally yelled at herself. He just stayed looking at her for a minute like he knew what she was thinking. "Explain." She said.

He reached in a bag he had that she hadn't noticed and pulled out something spherical wrapped in Christmas wrapping. He made sure she was watching and he tossed it to her.

"A gift, for me? You shouldn't have." She said sarcastically. "Now what are you doing here, in the middle of the night?" She asked feeling herself get angry. He gestured towards the gift. "Fine." She said. She pulled the wrapping paper off and what she saw made her feel extremely confused. "A coconut? Why?" She asked looking up again and felt her confusion grow, as did her curiosity.

She was no longer in her living room, she was on a beach. She looked around for Castle but he was gone. She looked back down and her hand. The coconut was now cut in half with a little umbrella and a straw sticking out. She took a sip and felt herself smile. It was a pina colada. When she looked up from her drink Castle was coming up to her carrying a lea. That wasn't all she noticed though. He was no longer in his normal clothes but in swim trunks and his chest was wet as was his hair. If she could just run her fingers through… STOP thinking like this! She yelled at herself again. He held the lea up and she bowed her head for him to put it on. He stepped closer and she felt his fingers brush her bare shoulders and she let out an involuntary shiver.

"Castle, what's going on?" She looked up at him and found herself getting lost in his eyes. She couldn't help but think about how they matched the water. He stepped closer to her and brushed a stray hair behind her ear. He looked at her and then leaned closer. She could feel his breath on her skin and she shivered again but she made no move to pull away.

…..

That was how they started, her dreams about him. She didn't want them but didn't know how to make them stop. Not only was he torturing her at work with his new cologne and standing to damn close, but now he was invading her dreams. Now every time his hand brushed hers in the elevator or when he handed her coffee she could feel her cheeks get hot. The other day at The Old Haunt he asked if she wanted a pina colada and she practically yelled no. She knew that he knew something was up because he was acting different; it was just a matter of time before he asked.

…

Castle was sitting at his desk typing away when he heard a quiet knock at the door. He figured it had to be Alexis or his mother. Although, his mother wouldn't have bothered to knock. But wait, weren't they at the movies?

"Come in." He said sitting up strait when he saw who it was. "Oh, Beckett… hi… I uh… didn't know you were here." He said. He was obviously flustered, especially because of the scene he was just writing between Rook and Nikki.

She smiled at him but didn't talk. No explanation of how she got into his loft. Well, she was a cop, she knew how. She slowly walked around his desk, keeping her beautiful, deep green eyes locked on his the whole time. When she got closer he noticed she had to be wearing something quite short because he couldn't see it under her coat. That stupid coat she wore last Halloween when she came in looking like her. He still had that image of her locked away for a rainy day.

"Do you need something?" He asked. She shook her head and a strand of hair fell across her cheek. He had an uncontrollable urge to brush it away. She pushed his chair back and got in between him and his lap top. She turned around and started to read. "No… wait… Kate… I'm not finished typing it yet. I promise I will…" He trailed off when she turned around and had a hand on her coats button. She undid it but held the coat closed, eyeing him the whole time. The word 'tease' ran through his mind and made him chuckle slightly. Finally, after what felt like forever, she let the coat fall, and he fell… literally. He looked up at his dark room and cursed to himself. It was a dream… just a dream.

….

That, however, was not how it started for him. He had been having dreams about her since… as long as he knew her. Only, recently they had been getting more vivid. He didn't know how much longer he would be able to work around her without telling her how he felt. For now, though, he was just going to have to survive. She had been acting funny recently though and he couldn't help but think that something might be going on between her and Josh, more than just them dating.

….

She had to tell someone or she might explode. Obviously, that someone was Lanie. She found time to escape from her work and made her way down to the morgue.

"Hey girl. What's up?" Lanie asked.

"Not a lot. Anything new down here?" Kate asked.

"Not any more then what I told you earlier." Lanie said. Kate just kind of stood there for a few seconds before Lanie talked again. "Is everything okay?" She asked and Kate could see that she was worried.

"It's nothing bad. Well, I guess it could be. It's just; I have been having these really weird… dreams lately." Lanie nodded and kind of looked like a therapist, thinking it over.

"This job is tough, I can understand if you're…" Kate cut her off.

"It's not dreams about the job. The dreams are about…" Kate shifted and felt color go to her cheeks. "Castle." She finally said and Lanie had a smile going from ear to ear.

"Girl…" Lanie was still smiling. "I personally think you need to confront those feelings."

"They aren't feelings, their dreams." Kate said. She didn't want to admit to herself that she had feeling for Castle. Not after what happened last time. Besides, she had Josh.

"Wake up and smell the coffee Kate, you like him, he likes you, your both just too damn stubborn to do anything about it." Lanie said and Kate felt her cheeks get even hotter.

"Can we talk about something else now… please?" Kate said because she had nothing to say about that. He didn't like her, he had his ex-wife, and she had Josh, and these dreams are just… trying to mess with her.

…...

Kate would kill him if she knew what he was doing. He followed her down to the morgue with the lack of anything better to do. He stopped outside the door though, and just listened. What he heard changed everything.

Well? What did you think. Please review and let me know.
