Chapter 1

AN: Hey I load up that story on my other account CorinnaZeitler2 but i can't get into it anymore so I'll do it here now. Hope you enjoy!!

Kate was wandering through the book shop in hope to find the newest Richard Castle novel.

Richard Castle she knew him. Not the Richard Castle the novelist.No! She knew The Real Richard Rogers. It took her some time to figure out who he was. After reading a few of his novels she knew exactly who she was dealing with. His name was not Richard Edgar Castle well it might be now but back then when she knew him his real name was Richard Alexander Rogers.Her boyfriend she had left in college. He was the one she fell in love all those years ago and couldn't let go.

Kate hadn't seen him for over five years. She still... she loved him and she was never able to forget about him. She tried for two years. Then suddenly she found out it would never change. There was a certain reason. That reason was the best thing that could have ever happened to her.

She was ripped out of her thoughts by a hard chest bumping against her. She didn't look up before she heard a rough voice apologize. That voice she knew it. It sounded so familiar yet deeper than she remembered. She knew definitely it is his voice.

She looked up then gazed into his bluer than blue eyes. It was him. It was him.How could it be him? What was he doing there? Why did she have to run into him?

"Kate?" his voice was a full of surprise and shock. He remembered her of course he always would. Why did he have to remember?

"Hi, Rick" she joked looking into his eyes.

"Hey" he replied with a smile building on his face. "You look great. You haven't aged at all over these years."

"Thank you, you don't look so bad yourself." She said unsure at what she expecting.

"How long has it been Kate? Five years?" he asked.

Kate looked down at her shoes. She did not ever want to hurt him.

"Where were you all the time? You were just gone." He said his voice broken and sad.

"I had to go, Rick. By the way I have to go now too so good bye. Rick nice seeing you." She said ready to turn around and run then he grabbed her elbow.

"Kate, wait." Rick said desperately.

"What?" she desperately wanted to go.

"Can you give me your number at least?" He asked as he wasn't ready to let her go yet again.

"Why?" she asked being annoyed and wanted to get home.

"I am not ready to let you slip away again. I mean...we have just met for the first time after five years. I didn't even know why you left and where you went. Allison, I want to know why? Please don't disappear again like that. Please do not do that to me again. I need to talk to you. I need to know." He said as he had his hand grasping lightly her arm just hold her in place.

"Fine" she groaned then took out a piece of paper. She searched around for a pen but Rick noticing produced one he would always carry to sign books and other things.

"Oh, Thank you Rick." Kate said.

She quickly jotted down her number.

"Here it is but Please don't call 'til it's at least 11 am okay?" Kate pleaded with him with her eyes.

"Okay, thank you Kate." He replied then let her go. "I'll call you."

She turned around and left. He looked to watch her leave. She was just the same perfect self she was five years ago.

When Kate opened her front door she almost crushed by a little girl running straight into her.

Kate bent down then hugged the little smiling girl. She was about five years old and had long brown curly hair.

"Hey honey, how was your day?" Kate asked.

"It was great mommy..." She replied.
