I finished this sequel to My Wish. I've been wanting to post it but just haven't had the time. So I'm trying to add all of the chapters today. Please review, I love reviews. They make me happy! Thanks...and enjoy.
I groaned and threw my hand at the alarm clock, pushing it away from me with anger. It was six thirty, I already knew even with out the alarm clock. I opened my eyes and the sun didn't great me as usual. I threw the blankets back and padded over to the sliding glass door. I pulled the curtains back to see rain pouring down, wind blowing in all different sorts of directions. I sighed. I shook my head and headed into the bathroom to shower which as usual didn't take me long. I changed and headed down for something to drink. I smiled knowing Danny would want coffee. I bit my lip and laughed slightly. I boiled water at the stove and poured it into a mug and stuck a tea bag in. I was feeling a bit nervous today. Danny had wanted to speak to Gracie about our relationship and wanted to make sure she was okay with it. She was of course, but we still wanted to speak to her about it together. And today we were going to be taking her on a small hike. But because of the rain we'd have to change our plans. Something Danny and I would have to talk about when he got here. Danny was going to spending his weekends with Gracie here, mostly because when we got his items from Josh's place the only place he was able to secure wasn't in the best neighborhood, and I told Danny that I wouldn't let him be there with Gracie and he agreed. So, we planned on them being here on her weekends and I figured it would give Danny and I some time to explore our relationship on a different level. Paint and new bed sets, everything new for her. According to Danny, she said that I didn't need to do any of it but I wanted to. I had spoke to the Governor about the new status of my relationship with Danny. He approved as long as nothing changed our work dynamic. But I had explained that we were taking things extremely slow and if anything happened then I would take full responsibility and I was positive that the rest of our team would kick our ass's. He laughed and said maybe one day he and his wife could come for dinner. I knew it was actually his way of checking in on us. I took a sip of the hot fluid just as the front door opened. I smiled. I knew it was Danny and Chin. I hadn't seen him outside of work in a few days and I was bubbling up with excitement. I walked out of the kitchen, pushing the door away from me in the process and looked on as Chin helped Danny place a few bags down Danny had threw a bag down and ran his hands over his hair, trying to smooth it down. I smiled when Kono and Adam walked in behind them with boxes of items from Danny's apartment that they would need every other weekend. Lou following closely behind them with a tray of coffees and bags of food.
I gave Danny a smile and stood next to him. We werent really good about any PDA. Something I wasn't comfortable with. Even though I knew our team was okay with us being together. It was just something I wasn't good at. "Hey babe. Get any sleep?"
I nodded and smiled. "Yeah I did. Just excited to see Gracie..."
"And?" Kono said smiling.
I looked over at her and gave her a scrunched up face. "...and you." I say glancing at Danny.
Danny smiled. He gave me his best smile. The one that made my heart melt and my heart skip a beat. "I'm excited to see you too."
"How are you doing Steve?" Adam asked, he was always generally interested us all of us.
"I'm okay." I say smiling. Glancing over at Danny. I felt my pulse quicken., Danny looked good in his jeans and tee-shirt.
God, I wanted to reach out and touch him. Kiss him. I wasn't sure what would be accepted or not. I couldn't stop smiling, even if I wanted. "Did you get coffee?" I ask.
He shook his head. "No." He was still smiling.
I motioned my head towards the kitchen and knew he was following me. Once in the kitchen I got the coffee down and poured it into the glass container. I looked over at Danny, his hands stuffed in his pockets. I moved over to him, and pushed up against the wall next to the fridge. My body crushing his. "Hey." I say my voice was low and deep.
He smiled and ran his hands up and down on my chest. "Hey yourself, ready for this?" Danny's voice was so soft.
I nodded. "Can I kiss you?"
He laughed slightly. "Steve you don't ever need permission to kiss me.
I swallowed. "I wasn't sure if I should, in front of everyone."
Danny wrapped his hand around my neck and pulled me down to his lips. Leaving the kiss soft and slow. Danny had his hands wrapped around my neck, my hands wrapped around his rib cage. I moaned into his mouth. Danny pulled back and smiled. "Babe, you can do what you please okay? You can set the pace for everything. I'm not going to push you."
"Thanks Danny. Is everyone off for the rest of the day?" I asked.
"Yup, and you know that I had coffee out there right? They are gonna know you kissed me."
I nodded, smiled and pulled back from Danny, forgetting his coffee. "Let's go back out."
"Did you get your coffee Danny?" Lou asked with his shit eating grin.
I felt the heat rising in my cheeks. "I was out of coffee. He doesn't like tea."
"He drinks tea all the time brah. I think maybe you needed some alone time." Kono teases.
"Alright guys, enough of making fun of Steve." Danny came into my rescue.
We spent ta little time in the morning putting all of the items that Danny wanted in his room up stairs and things that weren't so important in the garage. We had coffee and breakfast out on the lanai when Chin looked over at me with questioning eyes. "What Chin?"
"I'm just wondering what exactly is the relationship now? I mean, are you two dating are you serious? Why separate bedrooms?" Chin asked with his hands folded in front of him. He always seemed to know what buttons to push.
I wished that Danny was here for this, but he insisted on cleaning up the kitchen. " We are uhm..." I wave my hands around like Danny. "...together. Yes, we are dating. I think we are serious. I mean, its more physical that is taking time for me. Its just different you know?" I say looking down. "We have different rooms because this is only for the weekends that Gracie is here." I fixed my eyes on the tea bag that was still in my mug. "I'm not the best at showing affection. Even if I was with a woman. I'm trying to make an effort, but I don't know really. I'm trying."
"Whatever you need we will support you boss." Kono said with a smile. "Do you love him?"
I smiled and felt my cheeks getting hot. "Oh, I um..." I looked up at Kono and then back down again "...I do love him. A lot."
Everyone smiled. I felt Danny's strong hands on my shoulders, gently massaging my shoulders. "I love you too."
Now I smiled pretty big. "Thanks for all the support today guys." I felt a little uncomfortable with the exchange that Danny and I just shared but I knew it was okay. I'm safe with my Ohana.
"No problem. I think Kono and I are going to go catch some waves." Chin said as he and Kono exchanged looks and took off.
I looked over at Lou. "You okay?" I ask.
"Can we talk for a moment?" He asked standing up.
I nodded and stood up. I turned around and looked Danny in the eyes. "I'll come in and help you set some stuff up when we are done."
He smiled and nodded, retreating to the house. Lou and I walked down to the beach. He had his hands stuffed in his pockets and his head was hung low. "Lou, what's up?"
He looked down at me. "Look, I know that whole thing with my ex partner was weird. But I was wondering if you'd let me take some time off and head to Chicago?"
"Are you going there to confront him again?" I asked.
"I think I have a way to make him talk. Some money disappeared years ago, and I've always thought that he took it."
"How long will you be gone?"
"Maybe a week. I'm going for less though."
"It's fine okay, just dont do anything stupid. I dont want my guy in jail for something that could have been avoided." I say.
"Thanks McGarrett. I'll come back. I promise." He slapped me on the back.
"Bye Lou. Be sure to tell Renee, that if she needs anything to give me a call."
He smiled and nodded his head. I watched as he made his way around the side of the house. I went up to the house picking up the coffee mugs in the process and took them to the sink. I deposited them into the dish washer and turned them it on. I picked up the last few pieces of luggage that I knew probably contained Danny and Gracie's extra clothing. I reached the top of the stairs and turned to the left, going towards the guest room only to see Danny sitting on the floor, massaging his knee. I sighed and walked in, placed the bags down by the door. "Alright, what did you do?" I asked, kneeling down and placing my hand down Danny's shoulder.
He looked up at me and tried to smile. "I was trying to lift the box onto the bed but I didn't exactly make it there. It's a heavy box."
I sighed. "Danny, I would have gotten it." I say picking the box up and placing it on the bed and returning to Danny. I sat in front of him and took his leg between mine. I realized he had changed into a pair of shorts as I ran my hands up his leg, feeling his soft skin under my touch. I felt something stirring deep within me. My hands on his skin, feeling the warmth of his body.I kepy my eyes trained on his leg, I didn't trust myself to look into his eyes.I smiled as my hands got to the back of his knee, and gently massaged. He leaned back and sighed. "Now you could do this all day long."
I laughed as I turned my attention to the top part of his knee. "Is it feeling better?" I asked, finally looking up at him. God, his eyes looked beautiful .
"Some. I think the cramp is gone now." He says.
I leaned my body forward and pulled Danny into a kiss, keeping it soft and sweet. "Lets see if you can stand."
I stood up and held my hands out to Danny. He took them and I pulled him up. He let weight on his knee and he winced in pain. "Ohhh that hurts."
"Uh huh." I lean down and pick him up in the bridal position. I set him on his bed. "Tell me where you want everything."
He smiled. "Thanks Steve."
I nodded. "Anytime D."
I retrieved some ice for his knee, which he thankfully spent the time talking and laughing, getting Danny's room sorted out. He was eventually able to get up and move around. I had helped him down the stairs and we had a late lunch and had just sat down to watch a basketball game when my cell rang. I sighed and pulled it from my pocket. "McGarrett."
"Hey it's Duke, you've been asked to assist HPD on a sting at that new night club down town Waikiki."
"That burlesque club?" I question.
"Yup, can you meet us outside tonight around twenty three hundred hours?"
I look over at Danny. "Yeah I think so. I'm not sure if Williams will go, but count Kono, Chin and myself in. Thanks Duke." I hung up.
"We gotta go right now?" He asks.
"Nope tonight at eleven. Can you hang? We are doing a sting operation."
Danny nodded. "Yeah babe, I can hang. I'll take some pain meds and I'll be good to go. We should rest up though and I need to call Grace. I'll see if Rachel will let me have her Monday since it's a holiday." He said smiling at me.
"Sounds good. Do you want to go up and lay down, or are you okay here?"
"Nope. I'm gonna stay here. Why don't you lay your head on my lap, I'll rub your hair."
I smiled and laid my head down on Danny's lap, his fingers sliding though my hair with ease. I loved the way his fingers felt on me. I took a deep breath in and let it out loudly. Almost a sigh. "Can you text Chin and Kono, let them know about tonight?"
"Course. Sleep Steve, you'll need your rest for tonight."
Here ya go, first chapter. Mahalo for reading!
