This is my first story in three years so please bare with me. I started writing about CSI:NY and while I loved and enjoyed those stories I simply lost my passion for them. I apologize to those who are fans and really appreciate those who have read and reviewed.
I recently started watching 5-0 and absolutely love it. I really wanted to get back into writing and start a 5-0 story. I would like to apologize if there is any OOCness. Any constructive criticism is welcomed and appreciated.
The plot of this story is similar to my CSI:NY story My So Called Life. I liked the plot of that story and wanted to work with that in a story involving Steve.
Just a few notes. I love Catherine and I love her and Steve together but they will not be paired together in my story. And for the sake of the story they do know each other from the Navy but did not date. She will however, be a part of this story.
My OC Abigail is based off Jenna Dewan-Tatum.(Who is also my icon)
Thoughts are in italics. Also, there are a few lines from 1x05.
Detective Abigail Morgan stepped out of her black Toyota Prius casting a glance at the towering statue of King Kamehameha in front of 5-0 headquarters. I can't believe this is my job. Ever since she was young she wanted to be a cop. After completing college she immediately joined the police academy and graduated in 2008 where she then began working for HPD. Two years later her life got better when her best friend since high school Kono Kalakaua suggested her for a job with the 5-0 task force. Since then the team became a family to her. Being an only child she quickly grew to appreciate those relationships. Of course Kono had always been a sister to her, while Chin and Danny are her two overprotective brothers. Steve, however was a different story.
"Hey Abbs" she heard, turning around to see her boss Steve McGarrett, dressed in a black suit complete with black tie, walking toward her. The same boss she found extremely attractive and has had a few dreams about that would make the former SEAL blush. And of course he has to be wearing a suit.
"Hey" she greeted "What's with the suit. Did I miss a new dress code memo?"
"Mary's in town for a friends' wedding which she dragged me to" he responded " I'd rather wear my dress blues than this"
"Well you look great in the suit. Though it's impossible for you to look bad in anything." Wow Abbie that was lame.
He smiled "I've thought the same about you." While the two were friends they always had a flirtatious relationship, though both always claimed that it was all harmless.
A smile slowly graced her face at his words as he took a step closer to the brunette. His blue eyes caught her hazel ones as he looked down. Being only 5'2 his 6'1 frame towered over her. Before either could say or do anything Danny Williams stepped outside "Hey lovebirds, you know we have a case let's go." Abbie was the one to move away and said nothing to him as she walked inside.
Fortunately for Abbie she was able to get out of work at six, which made her ecstatic because it allowed her to meet her cousin for dinner.
"I'm so glad you moved here Cat"
"Me too. This place is amazing, I always loved coming here every summer." Catherine Rollins told her younger cousin.
Abbie smiled, thinking about the summers she had spent with Catherine when they were younger. Though there is a six year age difference between the two,they were inseparable growing up; like sisters.
"Yeah I hated when you stopped coming" admitted Abbie
"I did too, but we both grew up and life took us in different directions Abbie. You knew how much joining the navy meant to me. Yeah, it took me away from my family and my friends but it was the best time of my life."
"I know" Abbie paused taking a sip of her iced tea "And I don't fault you for that, but our relationship changed and we grew apart which I always regretted that, that is why I'm determined to fix it"
"Me too. It's one of the main reasons I moved here."
"Great,we should start by having sleepovers so we can braid each others' hair and talk about boys." joked Abbie lightening the mood.
"Speaking of boys how's it going with you and Steve?" Catherine had known of her cousin' attraction to Steve. Although she had never outright admitted she had feelings for him Cath knew that she did. The way Abbie would speak about him was a dead give away. Catherine couldn't blame her, the two had met during the time in the navy and she'd be blind not to see how attractive he was. It wasn't just that, he's truly a great guy. The two became fast friends but she never thought of him as more than that.
"What are you talking about?"
"C'mon Abbie, you're forgetting who you're talking to. No matter how many years have gone by I can still read you like a book. Every time you've mentioned him in a phone call I could hear it in your voice. You obviously have feelings for him. You really need to tell him."
Abbie stayed silent for a moment before responding to her cousins' remarks "There's nothing to tell Cat, so please lets talk about something else."
"Fine I'll drop it for now but don't think I won't bring it up again" she smiled
"That doesn't surprise me" laughed Abbie
The rest of dinner went really well as the two women got reaquainted and reminisced about Catherine's yearly visits to Hawaii. It felt like no time had past though in reality it had been nearly six years since the two had last seen each other. The Rollins' family visits had stopped the year Catherine graduated high school but Catherine and Abbie still made it a point to see each other at least once a year, but then life got in the way and both had been distanced for years. Although Catherine had moved to Hawaii just a few weeks ago both of their demanding jobs- Catherine had begun working a security job after recently retiring from the Navy- left the two with no time to see each other, so they settled for phone calls.
Abbie was on her way back to her house when her car began making noises, she was able to pull the car over before the car shut off. She tried starting it a few times but it was no use. Knowing nothing about cars, she searched for her purse to get her Iphone to call her dad. Her mechanic was closed and knew she wouldn't be able to get a tow til the morning. She located her phone but it was dead. This is the worst time to forget my car phone charger. Her only option was to walk to the nearest business that was open and use their phone. The only problem with that is the thunderstorm that had started fifteen minutes prior which was only getting worse in intensity. Taking in her surroundings she realized she was three blocks away from Steve's house. Abbie gathered her purse, got out of car-making sure it was locked- and made the walk, hoping he was home.
Five minutes later a soaked Abbie knocked on Steve's door waiting for an answer. She saw his truck in the driveway, so she knew he was home. It was now 10, so there was a chance he could be sleeping.
Steve answered, still dressed in the work clothes he changed into once he was inside headquarters.
"Hey" he instantly noticed her appearance and ushered her inside.
"Thanks" she walked inside as he shut the door "I'm sorry for stopping by so late. My car died on my way home and so did my phone and your house was the closest. Of course I had to walk and now I am completely drenched."
Steve smiled at the younger woman in front of him. Though he didn't expect her to be at his house tonight he certainly wasn't bothered by it. Over the past three years he really enjoyed spending time with her and found the young detective to be a smart, compassionate,funny woman.
"Abbs it's fine." he paused " But you should really get out of your clothes." his face turned a bit red as he realized how that statement sounded.
"Very blunt there McGarrett"
He smiled "I mean let me throw those in the dryer and I'll grab you some of Mary's clothes that she left here."
He walked away and came back a few moments later with a pair of grey cotton shorts and a tight black v-neck tee. Thanking him, she walked to his bathroom to change. She had been to his house numerous times over the past three years so she knew exactly where it was.
After changing and with her clothes in the dryer she and Steve were currently on his living room couch, each with a drink in hand; he a water and she a cup of coffee.
"Could I borrow your phone I'm gonna call my dad and have him come pick me up"
"Your parents are nearly an hour away, you can just stay here and call for a tow in the morning."
"If you're sure thats okay"
Steve laughed "I wouldn't have offered if it wasn't okay Abbs"
She smiled thanking him again "I'm just glad your sisters' clothes fit me. Where is she anyways?"
Steve couldn't help by notice how good she looked in the skimpy shorts and tight shirt as the clothes only accentuated her curves. He found himself wondering what she looked like underneath. He could imagine those toned legs wrapped around him as she moaned underneath. Stop, she's your friend.
Realizing she had asked him a question he paused before answering "She had to head back home right after the wedding."
Abbie nodded before taking a sip of her coffee hiding the smile that just formed. She noticed Steve checking her out, as it was pretty obvious. Of course she was flattered but wouldn't let him know that. Things would get too messy. I just need to stop thinking about him. That's really hard when he's sitting so close. It's not just him physically, he's such an amazing guy, I mean he's letting me stay here.
Abbie finished her drink and let out a yawn "I guess I should get to bed. I'll sleep here" pointing to the couch.
Steve shook his head "You can take Mary's room. It's across from mine"
They both stand up from the couch and hugs him. Though it was a meant as a friendly hug, something they had done before this one felt different. Maybe it was the limited amount of clothes she was wearing, or the feelings of attraction that had come to the surface. Whatever it was she must have felt it too because as she pulled away the arms were still wrapped around each other and their faces were inches apart. His eyes darted from her eyes to her lips before leaning forward before kiss her. Abbie was shocked at first but soon kissed back. The kiss was sweet and gentle. She let out a low groan when his lips left hers. He looked at her once more as if asking to do it again. She responded but moving her arms around his neck, bringing his face down for another kiss. A passionate kiss, completely opposite of the first one. The two battled for control as he lifted her up, her legs instinctively wrapping around his waist. Never once breaking the kiss he carried her upstairs.
He carried her into his bedroom where they finally broke the kiss as he gently laid her on his bed. "Are you sure about this?"
Abbie smiled seductively before sitting up and unbuttoning the buttons of his grey shirt. He let the shirt hit the floor before smiling "I'll take that as a yes."
He kissed her once more and before long their clothes were scattered on the floor as the two finally gave into temptation. Both content in the moment and not thinking about what may come of this.
The following morning when Abbie awoke she turned to her side expecting Steve to be there but next to her was emptiness. She heard his door open and turned to see him standing in his doorway wearing only a pair of khaki cargo pants with his phone pressed to his ear and holding her now dry clothes from the night before.
Hanging up moments later he spoke to Abbie "We gotta get to work."
She glanced at this alarm clock noting that it was already nine. She watched as he walked over to his dresser and pulled out a blue tee followed by a matching button down. Feeling her eyes on him he turned around and smiled "You enjoying the show"
Abbie blushed "Sorry" she said wrapping the blanket around her and grabbed her Steve. Saying nothing to him as she walked to the bathroom he gently grabbed her arm "I don't regret last night Abbie"
"Neither do I Steve" she admitted "But it can't happen again" and with that she walked into the bathroom closing the door behind her, leaving a confused Steve by himself.
After she changed, Abbie used Steve's phone and called her mechanic and the two waited for the next thirty minutes for the tow truck to arrive. Neither spoke of the night before as they made small talk. The ride to work wasn't any better. Steve had turned on the radio after the silence had gotten to him as Abbie simply stared out the window.
Once they arrived at work, both went to their offices to finish up paperwork. Not wanting last night to affect them at work both put on a smile as they walked inside together.
Danny arrived a couple of minutes after Abbie and Steve. Headed straight to Steve's office he knocked; not waiting for an answer he walked inside.
"Please come in Danny" Steve said sarcasm dripping from his voice
"I will, thank you Steven" Danny replied looking down at his phone "Kamekona finally got back to me about that guy. Name is Connor Wright says he hangs at that crossfit on South King, says he should be there now."
The case that they had been working on had hit a dead end until they went to Kamekona for help. Though it took some time and money he came through for them with the name of a possible suspect.
"Great let's go" Steve said as he got up from his chair, as the two walked out of his office. He needed to get out of here for a while and away from Abbie. Being that her office was across from his he couldn't help but think about the night before. Just thinking about her petite body writhing and moaning underneath his brought a smile to his face.
Both men walked in silence to the Camaro until Danny spoke "What's with the smile"
"What I can't smile"
"No" he said "Ya know you look different today. You get a haircut?"
"No"
"New cargo pants" Danny replied
Steve was having a serious case of deja vu as the reached the car and got in "Haven't we had this conversation before."
"Yeah" he paused "you got lucky last night"
"Very perceptive" replied Steve as they left 5-0 headquarters on their way to find this suspect.
"So who was it" Danny asked.
Steve was definitely not going to tell Danny that. They all worked together, so it wasn't just up to him to tell people what happened. He knew Abbie wasn't one to speak about her personal life at work. "I am not having this conversation with you."
Danny shook his head wondering why Steve wouldn't answer.
An hour later, back at headquarters, Abbie checked the messages on her newly charged phone. She kept a spare charger in her desk drawer in case she ever needed it. She finished responding to a text to Danny updating her on the case when she noticed Kono, who had the day off walk in. Dressed in a white tank and denim shorts with her top of her yellow bikini top visible, Abbie knew her friend was on the way to her favorite place; the beach.
Exiting her office Abbie greeted her friend with a hug "Hey what are you doing here. Did you miss me?"
Kono smiled " I was on my way to the beach when I realized I left my sunglasses here." She held up the object. Kono then took in her friends' attire "Hot date last night"
"What" a genuinely confused Abbie said
"You wore that same outfit yesterday" Kono responded
"I was running late, it was the first thing I grabbed." Abbie didn't like lying to her best friend but she didn't want to have a conversation about what really happened while she was at work.
"C'mon you expect me to believe that." Having known each other for fifteen years both were able to tell when they other one was lying.
"Kono, I'm not having this conversation right now." she said not meaning for the statement to come off with an attitude but she wasn't in the mood to talk about it at that moment.
"Funny Steve said the same thing to me before." Both girls turned around hearing Danny speak. Abbie shot a quick look at Steve which Danny caught and it was that he took in her attire; the same from the day before. Steve had mentioned to him earlier that he had given her a ride to work. Danny smirked to himself when he figured it out "You and Steve, seriously."
The room went silent as Kono tried not to smile. She, like Catherine was not oblivious to the brunettes' feelings for their boss. She was happy that they finally got together, but it didn't mean she wouldn't tease her about it."
Abbie was the first to break the silence as she spoke to Danny " Can we please get back to work, what happened with the Wright guy?"
Danny was too busy enjoying seeing the woman in front of him squirm to answer so Steve replied "Ended up ratting out his brother, saying he was the mastermind behind it all. There both in lockup."
"Great that means we can go home right" Abbie said really wanting to get out of here. The only problem was that she had received a call from her mechanic saying her car wouldn't be ready till the following morning and she would need to find a ride home.
"I will take the avoidance of the subject as a yes. Man you two are more alike than I thought." Danny said to which Kono nodded in agreement.
"Well I better get going. I'll talk to you later" Kono smiled at her friend.
"Great can I get a ride, my cars' in the shop" Abbie practically pleaded.
"Sorry sistah, I've got lots of errands to run after the beach. Aloha." she waved goodbye leaving her to ask Danny the same question.
"Grace and I have plans. Why don't you have your boyfriend take you." he laughed as he walked to his office to gather his stuff.
"I'll take you" he told her. Even though her apartment was not on his way home she accepted his offer as it was the easiest option.
She thanked him, and how she was supposed to make it through another car ride with him.
Once again the car was filled with silence and Abbie couldn't handle it any longer. "You know it can't happen again."
There was no response from Steve so she spoke again "Look it was great. Fantastic actually but one time is all there can be."
He smirked at when she said it was fantastic. "Don't smirk like that."
"I'm just curious as to why you're so against this."
"Just because"
"Real mature Abbs."
She sighed Because I wont be able to stop myself from falling in love with you. "I just don't want things to be awkward with us" she said changing the direction of the conversation.
"It won't be. We're both adults."
"You're right" she told him.
" I'm sorry can you repeat that" he smiled
"Don't push your luck" and with her first genuine smile of the day appeared.
"You know we'll never hear the end of this from Danny and then Kono will grill me about it and of course my cousin will never let me live it down" she rambled as Steve pulled up to her house and parked in her driveway.
"Abbie" he said turning to the side as he leaned toward her.
"What" she whispered.
"Stop talking" he said, his lips barely touching hers.
This shouldn't happen. I need to be strong, but it's so hard. I was so adamant about this not happening again, but one look in his eyes and I'm a goner."Okay" she whispered breathlessly.
When his lips touched hers she sighed in content as the gentle kiss almost instantly turned as passionate as the one they shared the night before.
Abbie pulls away and says nothing as she gets out of his car and walks to her front door. Confused and a little angry Steve is about to leave when she turns around to speak; Steve rolls down the window so he can hear her.
She bit her lip before speaking, wondering if she should really be doing this "You coming in?"
He didn't need to be asked twice.
The two lay in her bed, this time more intimately than yesterday. Her head laid on his bare chest as he absentmindedly found his hand wounded in her long brunette hair. "So much for that not happening again" she laughed softly.
"I think it's safe to say it's going to happen a lot more" said Steve.
"Definitely" she said leaning up to kiss him.
As much as I tell myself this isn't what I want, I can't deny how he makes me feel. In that moment she decided to not worry about what could or would happen and enjoy her life.
Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed. Happy Holidays to all!
