So my first attempt at a story that will lead to a romantic is a little teaser to see if there is interest. I hope you like it
Chin sighed and looked up from his computer. He could not seem to concentrate on the reports of stolen paintings. Instead, his eyes were drawn, yet again to Detective Alyssa Grant who was sitting across the office from him staring intently at her computer screen. He had know Alyssa for most of a year now, but it was not until she had transferred to Five-O that he found himself looking at her in a completely different way. He first realized that his feelings were deeper and a great deal more complex when Alyssa and Mary had been kidnapped. Seeing Alyssa hurt and vulnerable had aroused in him emotions that he had not felt in a long time and the daily proximity to the young woman blossomed into a physical and emotional attraction that he could neither deny nor quash.
Detective Alyssa Grant felt eyes on her and she looked up from her computer to see Detective Chin Ho Kelly looking at her speculatively. She felt a blush creep up her neck and face and she quickly looked down. "Oh, God," she thought. Was she that obvious? Did Chin know that she found him incredibly attractive? She forced herself to go back to reading insurance reports and feigning indifference. She could not let anybody know her feelings. How foolish she would look and yet, as much as she wanted to, she could not deny what she was feeling. She knew that he was ten years older than her, but did not care. She generally found boys her age incredibly immature and she appreciated Chin's life experience. Where she was, like her brother, emotional and occasionally rash, she appreciated Chin's calming and moderating influence; she saw how it worked within the team dynamic and could see, when she permitted herself to think of such things, how the two of them together could make sense. Alyssa forced herself to focus back on her work - fantasy was fun, but she was a realist and in reality, she was certain that nothing would ever come of her feelings, no matter how much she would want it to.
Chin shook himself. What was he thinking? Alyssa was ten years his junior and the sister of one of his best friends. And yet, he could not help himself. Not only was she lovely, she was smart, brave, and tough. Her life experience certainly made her seem older and more mature than her 26 years. Yet this did not dampen her passion and her hunger for life. He found that passion contagious and he had to admit that he felt more alive when he was with her than he had felt in a very long time. He did not know how it happened, but he found himself falling for Alyssa. He had dated sporadically since...Chin could not bring himself to finish the thought, but he knew that there was a potential for something very special. He knew that there could be repercussions to what he was going to do, but he had also learned, through painful experience, not to let an opportunity such as this be lost.
Chin took a deep breath, pushed away from his computer and walked over to Aly. "Hey Aly, I'm starving," he said smiling down at her, "Want to grab lunch?"
Aly looked up from her computer and her eyes widened as she nodded.

What do you think? Any interest? I am looking forward to writing this story and adding in some sexy romance. I went through and updated with more detail as to what Chin and Alyssa are thinking and the fears that they are dealing with as they approach the potential of the relationship. This is new for me, so I would be very grateful for your comments, recommendations and reviews.
