Thank you for the amazing reviews. I love you all dearly.

This chapter is more Kono/Dylan centric, I hope you like it and don't forget to review! btw, Dylan is totally and completely mine.

He was a gentleman.

Kono was more than surprised at how sweet Dylan was with her. He asked her where she wanted to go first, which made sense since he was not from Hawaii at all and they had agreed she was going to show him around. She took him to the beach, her favorite place in the world, and he watched her as she inhaled the sweet scent of the ocean without saying a word. He was admiring her, admiring her natural beauty and how a slow smile appeared on her face.

She was surprised at how much she was enjoying her time with him. They had eaten at Kamakona's first, which lead her to an introduction between the big guy and Dylan. When she had mentioned she was a date Kamakona's threat was more than amusing, especially since Dylan thought he was joking. His reaction changed when she assured him he was being very honest.

She was surprised at how much she wanted to know about this mysterious man, who somehow seemed to be fascinated with her and how intrigued she was to know if he was being real.

"Can I ask you something?" she spoke, breaking the silence.

"Whatever you want."

"Why me?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why do you want to date me of all people?"

"I told you before, I think you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. I was being completely honest."

She shook her head. Surely he had used that line many times, and it probably had worked many times too. Maybe he was a man that used his charm and good looks to play with women's hearts, and right now he was doing that to her.

"You don't believe me?" he asked her, frowning at her.

"Yeah sure, I believe you. I also believe you've used that line many times before."

"Yes, yes I have," he answers with honesty. "This time I mean it though."

And she believed him; the way his eyes shone as he spoke and the seriousness of his face proved to her that he was not lying. She had learned how to read people a long time ago, his eyes had this honesty she could not dismiss.

"In fact, I'm being so totally and completely honest with you that I'm gonna do something I've never done before, with any other girl."

"Oh really? What's that?"

"I'm gonna tell you everything about me, all you want to know."

"Everything?"

"Yes, everything."

"Okay, tell me who you are."

He smiled broadly, took her hand and pulled her down. They sat in front of the ocean; the soft sound of the waves crashing created the perfect setting. It was her turn to watch him as his eyes were fixed in the waves before them.

"My name is Dylan…"

"I know that," she laughed and he smiled at her.

"I have a brother who is two years older than me, his name is Jared. My current residency is here in Hawaii but my original home is in New York City. I have an awesome job as a journalist at the local newspaper, that being the New York Post. My boss sent me away on forced vacations because he says I work too much, which is completely true by the way. My father passed away when I was eleven, so I was raised by my mother," he stopped, turned around grinning. "What else… oh my vacation was over two days ago, so I'm probably gonna get fired. Don't really care though, I met someone who is worth every single moment of my time."

He watched her, waiting for her to speak but she was fascinated at how brutally honest he was and how interested he was with sharing every aspect of his life. He was not a stranger anymore.

"Now I want to know about you," he said.

She would usually never share anything about her with anyone outside her circle, that being only Chin, Danny and Steve, but she had already taken the first step; she had agreed to date a complete stranger out of the blue, but most importantly deep inside she wanted him to be part of her life, she wanted to tell him things about her she had never told anybody.

"Well, my name is Kono, as you know. I'm an only child; the man you saw me with the first time is my cousin Chin. I have a house near the beach. I'm a cop, which you already know, and I think it's the most amazing job in the world. I used to surf professionally but I had an accident and I had to retire." She stopped for a second, thinking about something else to say, "I usually never date strangers who I recently interrogated about a crime before, but something about you pulled me to say yes…"

"That's because I'm awfully charming and very handsome," he joked. To which Kono agreed one hundred percent. He had a boyish look; beautiful green eyes and the most perfect smile she had ever seen (Steve's following close behind), his hair was short and brown and he was not too tall or too short, she could even say she did not need to stand on tip toes to kiss him.

'Our date is not over yet and I'm already thinking about kissing him' Kono thought.

"Maybe…" she said

"Or maybe this is fate, telling us we should just follow our hearts."

Suddenly that reminded her of Steve. She had followed her heart once, when he was lying on that hospital bed, which lead her to whisper 'I love you' to later be mistaken for someone else.

"I'm sorry, have I said something wrong?" he suddenly asked, watching her as her head got lost in space.

"No, of course not," she responds. "It's been a long day, that's all."

"You want me to take you home? We can continue this some other time."

"Other time?"

"Yeah. Only if you want to, that is."

She smiled sweetly at him as he reached for her, helping her stand up from the sand. He holds her hand a little longer, her cold hand felt perfect between his warm one.

"I would love to."

"I was hoping you would say that."

They walked slowly towards her house. Talking lively on their way, sharing stories about their lives, laughing and telling jokes.

Kono felt happy for the first time in a very long time.

TBC!
