(Kate's point of view)

"Where is this coming from, Where is this coming from!" He nearly barked out at me, his laugh sent a shiver down my spine "Oh that's rich Kate, really rich." His blue orbs bore into my green "MAYBE it's coming from the fact that you've been lying to me for the past… what is it now?" He looked up tapping his chin "Seven months?" He looked back at me when he says that.

Now it makes sense… his unexplainable behavior, it all makes sense..

How in god's name did he even find out, no one else knew besides my therapist and Rick doesn't even know I'm still going to Dr. Burke.

"Rick" Crap I hate that my voice sounds like this, so weak. "Rick I..I was going to tell you." I tried to reach out for his arm but he crept away.

"Yeah, When! When were you going to tell me Kate, huh! Because you sure as hell didn't tell me when I asked you about it!" His volume grew louder, as he rose out of his chair making me shrink back. I've never seen him like this before, it was a whole other side to him.

"Listen to me, Castle please just let me explain!" I tried to beg him to stay, watching him make his way out the precinct towards the elevator, he stopped in his tracks at my pleading. Thank god. I thought he was going to leave for good, for a minute.

He made his way towards me "I don't want to hear your excuses right now." There was more than just anger in his voice, there was pain.

"Ca-" He cut me off again.

"No Kate! No! I don't want to listen to why you've been keeping me around, letting me follow you like some lost puppy. You knew how I felt this whole time and it never crossed your mind to let me know that you don't feel the same, that I shouldn't be wasting my time planning… planning a future for us, holding onto.. any hope that you and I could be more then just.. partners. " His eyes were searching mine, so much emotion pent up inside of him that I didn't even know was there.

What was all this talk about me not feeling the same, unless Castle is blind (which he's not) I don't see how he can actually think for one second that I do not feel the same about him. Unless he has been gone out of his body spiritually for the past seven months, that he's missed all of my dopey smiles, and lingering touches. And how can he think that I don't think of him as so much more then just my damn partner? He is everything to me. He is my always, my one and done. We're so stupid sometimes.

It also didn't go missed that he was planning a future for us as well, oh thank god, I thought I was the only one. Considering his dreadful behavior as of late.

I shook my head to try and grasp my mind on everything he had just said "Wow, wow hold on a second Castle. What are you talking about me not feeling the same? Where in gods name did you get that ridiculous idea?"

He choked out a horrid laugh, the sound of it slit through me. "Ridiculous idea" He shook his head with a fictitious smile across his lips. "Maybe the fact that you decided to keep this a secret from me Kate, did you ever think that?"

I rolled my eyes at him, knowing he was being stupid for thinking like this. "Oh please Rick, this is so like you to jump to the worse case scenario." His irritation was now seeping through me, annoyance shinning out of me.

"Well what did you expect me to do!" He yelled out at me with his arms out in a dance of furry.

"I don't know.. maybe confront me about it!" My voice was now to extreme volumes, which probably isn't the best thing to do in working environment, thank the lord that the boys are out.

He practically laughed in my face "Confront you about it? Confront you about it, Kate you couldn't even tell me and you expect me to just give you the easy way out, like you always get anyway!"

Oh that was just cruel

"You're a complete jack ass, you know that" animosity coming out especially on the words jack ass.

"Well at least I'm not a liar." He huffed, looking anywhere but my face.

"Look I'm sorry!" I hate saying sorry, I feel so weak when I have to apologize, I feel like a fool.

He stopped moving his eyes everywhere and laid them upon mine.

"Kate sorry is not going to fix this." His voice came back down to a normal volume, actually a little below normal more so a whisper.

"I know, but Rick you should already know…" Am I about to say what I think I'm about to say? "That I.. Rick that I love you."

His eyes grew in awe as they peered into mine. I'm guessing he didn't expect to be hearing those words coming from my mouth today, hell I didn't expect to be saying those words today. Better late then never though.

"Kate this better not be some sick joke, cause I swear I can-" I cut him off before he could continue his annoying worrying any longer, with my lips on his.

I pulled back, the tingling feeling from his lips still going through my body. That has never happened before, nobody but him has ever been able to make me feel this way with just a kiss.

His forehead rested on mine, he was nearly leaning into me not wanting to break contact. I can't blame him, the feeling is mutual.

"Rick don't ever think that I don't love you." I said as I rested my hands on each side of his face.

"Don't ever give me a reason to think it" I could hear the joking tone to his voice, and was grateful.

The laugh that came out of me was also a sound of relief, I've wanted to be with him for so long, it almost felt as if this wasn't real.

"Kate.." His breath glided over my lips.

"Hmm" I didn't trust my voice enough to voice an actual response.

"I think we should probably" He broke his forehead away from my own and motioned between us with his eyes and his head.

"Oh yeah.. right." I backed away from his arms that were wrapped so snug around my waist. Remembering the fact that we are indeed still in the precinct, where my boss is only about 20 feet away, in her office, which can see absolutely everything that is going on. I crossed my fingers hoping that she didn't see or hear anything of what just happened.

Just as we broke away Esposito and Ryan appeared out of the elevator. Before they were in hearing distance Castle whispered to me.

"Can I take you out tonight?" His face held so much longing.

"Really?" I asked almost surprised.

"Yeah" His smile made me melt.

"Alright, yeah that sounds great." A smile crept onto my face as well.

"What sounds great?" Espo said as he walked past us with Ryan towards their desks.

"Oh Castle just offered to help me with all of this paper work, that's all." I smiled an evil smile at Castle, he rewarded me with a 'are you serious' look.

"Wow Castle, you finally gave in?" Ryan said as he licked the tip of his pen and started writing down on some paper work.

"I guess I did." Castle tilted his head and glared at me with squinty eyes.

The smile on my face didn't leave my lips the whole day, all the doing of a special writer that was currently fixing our last cup of coffee of the day.

"Hey" He said to me which pulled me out of my paper work.

"I'm going to head home, get ready for tonight." He wiggled his eye brows at me.

"I'll pick you up at…"

"seven" I said with a grin.

"Alright sounds great." He didn't seem to know how to say good bye, it looked like he was going to kiss me but he thought better to do that in front of the boys. Smart man.

"I'll see you then" He smiled at me his charming smile that makes me feel weak with happiness.

"See you" I don't think it's normal to smile this much in one day, how am I supposed to spend a night with him, my face is going to start to hurt. Just as he finally got into the elevator my mind started thinking of going out with him to dinner or where ever he was planning on taking me. When I realized one thing.

Oh crap! What am I going to wear?

Hope you're enjoying, I don't know if I am, but that doesn't matter. I've already written this much LET IT PLAY OUT! Lol.

Review! Please and thank you ;)
