Character Summary:

Lauren just moved in from Maui and moves into the house next to Steve. She is not looking for love when things start to happen between the two of them.

Chapter 1

Steve walked into the house after a long day at work. He was super tired and just wanted to get into bed. It was arund midnight and he look over and saw lights on next door. He knew that no one lived in the house and so he decided to go find out what was going on in. He walked back out of the house and headed to the neighbor's house. He knocked on the door and waited for whoever it was to answer the door.

"Can I help you?" The woman asked Steve.

"My name is Steve McGarrett." Steve introduced himself to her. "What is your name?"

"My name is Lauren. My mom's friend warned me about you." She introduced herself to him.

"I hope that it was a good thing." Steve said to her with a small smile.

"No it was not. She said that you are very noise and want to know everything." She responded to him.

"That is a little rude to say when you don't even know me." Steve said to her.

"Yeah well you came over here acting like a jerk." Lauren responded to him.

"I did not know that anyone was here. I was concerned about what was going on. Okay?" Steve responded to her.

"Alright, Thank you for being concerend but as you can see that I am fine." She responded to him.

"Well, I am going home." Steve responded to her.

As Steve walked away from her, she could not help but check out his butt. She could not help but admit that she thought that he was handsome. She almost thought that he was married and then did not see a ring on his finger.

The next morning

Steve woke up around 7am and got ready for his morning run. He was happy that the team had the morning off since of what time they got done the night before. He could not believe what Lauren had said to him. He went to go open his front door to find a note sitting on the porch. He went to open it and it said

Steve, I am sorry for the way that I acted last night. I am normally not like that at all. I am hoping that we can be great neighbors if it's not to late...

Lauren

Steve had to admit that was really big of Lauren to do that for him. Before he got to his run, he saw her coming back from hers. She was walking to her house. He had to smile when he was thinking about her. He had to admit that she was cute and could not wait to get to know her. Steve was kinda hoping that they could become more then friends but he did not know if that is something that she hoped to for.

Lauren watched as he left for his run and hoped one day that they could leave for their run together. Steve got back after an hour and found her leaving for the day. He smiled when she gave him a little wave which he returned.

Steve headed to work about twenty minutes later. Danny was there waiting for him.

"Everything okay?" Danny asked his friend.

"Yeah things are great." Steve said joking. He noticed that someone was in his office. "Who is in my office?"

"The governor called me, because he could not get a hold of you because for some godly reason you won't answer your phone during your run, and told me that we have a new member joining Five 0." Danny revealed to his friend.

"What is her name?" Steve asked him.

"Lauren. She just moved here about two days ago." Danny responded to his friend. "Please don't get her shot at like you did to me."

"Danny, that was six years ago. I never did that to Kono or Chin or Lori or Catherine." Steve responded to him as they saw her coming out of the office.

"It's you!" Lauren said in a loud voice.

"Yeah it is me." Steve responded to her with a smile.

"I did not know that you work here." She said to him. "Maybe some days that we can ride in together since we live next door."

"Wait you live next door from him?" Danny asked her.

"Yeah. I actually met him last night." She responded to him.

They had a wonderful first day with the team. Steve and Lauren headed home after a few hours of doing paywork. Danny smiled when he knew that they both liked each other. He just hoped that they would admit it soon.

"So I can't believe that you are now part of my team." Steve said to her as he walked over to her driveway.

"Well yeah I was surprised like you were." She responded to him.

"So how do we start being friends?" Steve asked her.

"We can start being friends right here if we want?" She responded to him.

"Yeah that sounds really great. I would love that." Steve revealed to her with a smile.
