"Steven McGarrett, don't even think it." Catherine warned as she saw the predatory glint in his eyes as she ducked behind Steve's Silverado.
"You know there's no escaping me." Steve called out, chuckling when he heard her squeal as the water from the pressure washer sprayed a fine sheen of mist over the top of the hood.
"Ah come on Steve, no fair." She complained as she peered around the edge of the truck. "You've wet my shirt."
"I don't mind if you want to take it off." He told her with a smirk.
"Pervert." She retorted just before she stood up and threw a soapy sponge at him. She giggled as she watched the stunned expression on his face just before she made a grab for the handle of the pressure washer. They were both giggling and laughing as they grappled for control of the nozzle. Catherine, knowing she wouldn't have the strength to seize control from Steve decided to distract him. Quickly pulling at the knot that was holding the front of the shirt she was wearing together, Catherine allowed the top to fall open.
It didn't take long for Steve's concentration to waiver as he caught sight of the scarp of black lace at her breast. Catherine quickly seized the opportunity, pulling the nozzle out of his hands as she spun around to fire a jet of water at his chest. She giggled as she watched the stunned expression on his face.
"Cheat." He said as he pulled his wet shirt over his head and rung out the water.
"Think you might need to take your pants of as well." She giggled as she lowered the hose so that his pants were soaked. "Wouldn't want you catching a cold from being in wet clothes."
Steve swiped at the water running down his face as he grinned at Catherine as an idea began to form. Dropping his shirt in the bucket of soap he advanced on Catherine, no longer caring about the steady stream of water she was sending his way. A well-placed foot on the hose disabled her weapon, giving him an advantage as he lifted her of her feet and swung her over his shoulders.
"Steve." She shouted as she realised his intention.
Carrying her in a fireman's hold he quickly headed around the side of the house and down towards the ocean. Wading out into the water till he was at waist height before depositing his wife in the water. Catherine quickly surfaced, brushing her hair from her face as she got her feet underneath her to stand up. She blinked the water from her eyes, scanning the water around her till she could find Steve who was nowhere to be seen.
Taking a few deep breaths, she waited. She felt the brush of his fingertips on her calf, and held her breath as he pulled her beneath the surface of the water. She felt his arms wrap around her from behind and relaxed back into his embrace as they broke the surface.
"Looks like I'm not the only one with wet clothes, Mrs McGarrett." Steve purred into her ear as he nipped at the lobe.
Catherine giggled as she turned around to face him, her arms going around his neck as she wrapped her legs around his waist. "You want to help me out of my wet things?"
"I'm insisting on it." Steve told her with a grin as he began carrying her back up to the beach and house.
"What time is it?" Catherine asked as she buried her face in the crook of his neck.
"1000 hrs." He told her after a quick glance at his watch. "Mary's not bringing Keoni back till lunch time." He reminded her as lowered her to her feet just outside the lania door and began pushing her wet shirt of her shoulders.
"Gabby and Grace are coming around at 1100 hrs while we look at menus for the wedding." Catherine told him as she helped him pull the wet shirt off.
"I'll work extra fast then." He promised as he unfastened her shorts and pushed them down her legs along with her panties.
…
"Catherine?" Gabby called out as she pushed open the front door and peered around the edge. Hearing movement coming from upstairs, she glanced up the stairs to see a flushed Catherine exiting her bedroom.
"Hey." Catherine greeted as she made her way down the stairs.
"Hi Auntie Cath." Grace greeted as she entered the house and closed the door behind her.
"Hi, sweetie." Catherine replied.
"Hope we're not interrupting anything?" Gabby teased with a grin as she saw Steve leave the bedroom and follow Catherine down the stairs himself.
"Nope. We got a little wet washing the truck." Steve explained with a smirk as he reached the bottom step.
"Hi, Uncle Steve." Grace said as she moved over to her uncle to give him a hug.
"Hey Gracie." He greeted as he returned the hug.
"Are you going to help us with the menus?" Grace asked him.
Steve shook his head. "No, I have some work to do outside." He explained as he moved towards the lania door.
"Okay, why don't you get set up in the dining room, and I'll go and get us some drinks." Catherine suggested as she moved towards the kitchen.
"Sounds like a good idea." Gabby agreed as she headed into the dining room and placed her bag on the table.
"I've printed of a few ideas." Grace announced as Catherine returned with drinks.
"She's been working on it most of the week." Gabby added with a smile for her future daughter-in-law.
"Okay let's see what you've come up with. I've had a few ideas myself." Catherine told them as she grabbed a note pad of the desk top and took a seat at the table where she'd left her laptop set up earlier.
"These are the three caterers that I've narrowed it down too." Gabby said as she passed Catherine copies of the information she'd gathered. "I've spoken to them, and they all have our date free."
"Okay, what about customer feedback?" Catherine asked as she began taping the web addresses into the browser to get the information she wanted.
"I had a look at them auntie Cath and they're all really good." Grace assured her.
"So I see." Catherine agreed. "What about the menus?"
"We were leaning towards one of these five." Gabby said as Grace passed her the favoured menus.
Catherine spent a few minutes reading through each of the menus, noting that they were all similar in what they offered. They were all set around locally sourced ingredient's and offered a variety of fresh products. Her eyes flicked back to one of the menus and Catherine had to wonder if this was one that Danny preferred.
"Danno likes this one, because it doesn't have anything with pineapple on it." Grace pointed out with a grin as she showed the menu to Catherine confirming Catherine's suspicion.
"I keep telling Danny we have to think about what everyone else would like." Gabby confided with a shake of her head.
"No, you have to do what you think is best for your wedding." Catherine pointed out. "This is yours and Danny's special day, forget about what everyone else wants or expects. You pick the menu that suits you."
"Okay, well I guess we could narrow it down to these two." Gabby said as she pulled out her two favourite ones. "This is my favourite one."
"I have an idea." Catherine stated as she compared the two menus. "The two menus are practically the same except for the shrimp and pineapple dishes on your favourite one and the steak on Danny's. If you go with Danny's favourite, we could ask Kamekona to serve his shrimp dishes as an appetiser." Catherine suggested.
"Do you think he'd mind?" Gabby asked as she thought the idea over. "He's a guest after all."
"I'm sure Kamekona will be more than happy to provide the shrimp dishes." Catherine reassured her.
"Kame always complains when he gets served shrimp from someone else." Grace told Gabby.
"I suppose I could ask him if he'd mind doing it." Gabby said a little uncertainly.
"I guess that's the menu sorted, how about we get you an appointment booked with them so you can get a taster session set up with them." Catherine suggested as she jotted down the contact details on a pad so Gabby could give the caterer a call.
"Sounds like a good idea, how about if we book it so Steve and yourself can come along with us." Gabby suggested, wanting some feedback from her friends.
"We'd love to help, Gabby." Catherine said sincerely.

"Gabby said she'd asked you and Catherine to come with us." Danny said into the phone as he toed of his shoes and propped his feet on the coffee table.
"Yep, we'll be there to help buddy." Steve assured him.
"Of course you will. That's because it's free food and you don't have to take your wallet out of your pocket." Danny quipped.
"Don't forget your using my house to get married, think of this as a small compensation package." Steve told him with a chuckle.
"I thought that was the payment for my liver." Danny quipped.
"Nah, we named Keoni after you for that." Steve pointed out.
"That was just the down payment." Danny told him. "You going to tell me what you have planned for my bachelor party?"
"No. It's top secret information, you don't get read in on this mission till the 19th." Steve replied.
"You're smirking, aren't you?" Danny asked with a sigh. "I hate you, you know that?"
"Yep, see you Monday Danno." Steve said just before he disconnected the call.
"See you Monday." Danny replied as he ended the call.
