The not so long waiting is over! Here is the new chapter! It's a long chapter and my beta came up with the idea of bringing the '50 Shades' books in. So I hope you like that. Thank you so much for taking your time to write a review again!
I just need to say one thing, you might need a Kleenex at the one point.
francis2 I'm already working on a deal with my muse for a happy ending
NYR88 She will focus on Steve calling her his girlfriend, but not in this night
And to my Fairy Godmother Dorian thanks for everything!
Warning: VIOLENCE! In this Chapter Steve will be violent! So if you don't like don't continue reading. Just want to let you know that after this one there will be no violent scene anymore!
Minutes had past now and Danny was still holding onto Steve to protect him from his own anger and stupidity. Catherine sat there in shock as she still couldn't believe what had just happened in front of her eyes. "Calm down, Steve!" Danny repeated over and over again as Steve was still struggling to break free and go after Michael some more.
"I'll call the police." Danny heard the bartender say.
"That's not necessary. We…I mean I'm five-0." Danny replied looking over to the bartender. "Would you just calm down, Steven?" he asked his friend again.
"You." He said into Michael's direction, who was still holding his face in pain. "Out, now!" He commanded him. "You better do to it as soon as possible, for your sake, not mine. So do yourself a favor and go now, while you still can walk under your own power." Steve knew that as soon as Danny would let go he would not hesitate to make Michael think twice about touching his woman. Michael did what he was told to do by Steve and walked past Catherine to the door. The second he had passed her she got up as well and went to follow him.
"Yeah, go, Catherine! Go after him and fuck him like you always did when I wasn't around!" Steve yelled after her and as soon as it had left his lips he was already regretting it. Wordless Catherine turned around, walked over to Steve and before he could even realize what had happened, she had slapped him in the face. "Cath…..wait…I mean don't go….. I'm….sorry, I am really, really sorry, please let me explain." Steve said his voice weak and a lot calmer then before but Catherine was already through the door.
"Have you completely lost your fucking mind, geez Steven, you don't have the brain God gave you!?" Danny yelled at Steve as he was still holding him. "Now calm the fuck down or I promise you I'll call HPD and arrest you myself!" Why it is that Steve can't keep his big Neanderthal mouth shut when HE should, and talk to the love of his life when HE should have? Danny said to himself.
"I'm calm." Steve replied under his breath. What have I done to Catherine? God where is my brain to mouth filter?
"Okay, I'll let you go now, but promise me, that you will not go after him, okay? You don't want me to book you just because of your damn jealousy. Are we clear?"
Steve didn't agree at first but he still thought about going after that son of a b!tch who dared to touch his girlfriend! What is wrong with me telling her that, why did I have to show how much she means to me by decking another man? Why am I such a dumbA$$ when it comes to telling her how I feel? Steve asked himself.
"Are we clear, Steven?" Danny asked again this time louder and more firm in his fatherly tone. Steve nodded. "We are clear."
He replied and to Danny's surprise Steve did in fact sound calmer. "Okay." Danny said walking with him over to their still free table. "You sit down and stay here, okay, stay, Steve, I mean it?"
"Okay." Steve agreed and then Danny let him go. Steve sat down and took a few deep breaths when he felt the sharp pain on his cheek. I knew Cath had a good right are, she showed me that the last time we sparred, but man, can that girl SLAP, Steve told himself.
"I will go and try to find Catherine and you stay here for God's sake!" Steve just nodded while his was rubbing his cheek with his now completely swollen and throbbing right hand.
Danny quickly walked out of the bar to search for Catherine. She's an adult and he knew that she could protect herself, but after what had happened he wanted to make sure she was all right. He wanted to make sure that nothing would happen to her. On his way out he prayed that she hadn't left with the guy she had talked to.
A couple of minutes passed as he was looking for her and he was already getting frustrated when he heard a soft sob coming from a dark corner next to the bar.
"Cath?" he asked carefully as he got closer to where the sobbing is coming from. "Catherine, hey." He said with a comforting tone in his voice when he finally spotted her. She was sitting on the floor, her legs pulled up to her chest and her arms wrapped around them. "Hey, come here." Danny said as he got down next to her to pull her into his arms. Catherine leaned over and rested her head against his shoulder as she was still crying softly.
"That son of a bitch." She cried out as Steve's words flew through her head.
"Ssshhh!" Danny tried to calm her down as he gently caressed her tear stained cheek.
"I never cheated on him! NEVER! He should know I would never betray him, EVER:" She cried out again which almost broke Danny's heart.
"Why can't he just say that I'm his girlfriend?" .
"I know, Catherine. He's such a jerk sometimes. Plus he's drunk, and kicking himself for how he acted last night and what he said to you. You do bring out the best in him, Cath, believe me. I can always tell when you're in town by the smile on his face for days. Even a week after you are gone he still walks with a spring in his step…it's kind of funny to watch." Danny said to Catherine. "You DO know he loves you more than he's ever loved anyone before, don't you? He's just scared of those feelings, and that harm will come to you because of who he is and what he does for Five-0. Cath, believe me, he is in as much, if not more, misery about last night. I have never seen him this much of a mess. He doesn't know how to tell you he loves you, and I think he's display of caveman behavior is the first step. You should have seen him at work today….he didn't do anything but stare into space." That brings a little smile to her face. Knowing Steve is miserable makes her know that he does care about her, Cath said to herself.
"He's a jerk a lot of the time, Danny." she said with a slight chuckle. "But when it's just us, he's the gentlest, loving, and caring man I've ever met." Catherine mumbled under her tears to Danny as he rubbed her back to calm her down and hope she would stop crying.
"Most of the time." Danny replied causing Catherine to giggle.
Another couple of minutes had passed until Catherine stopped crying.
"I want to go home." She said as she took another deep breath and she tried to get up. She was still shaking and failed on her first attempt, but on the second she was standing.
"I'm sorry, Danny, that he pulled you in to this." Catherine said when Danny got up as well.
"You have no reason to be sorry. It's still his fault. But uhm, Catherine, your apartment is only a couple minutes away so if you don't mind I would like to walk you home."
"I can handle myself." Catherine said then from the concern in Danny's voice and eyes, she could tell that he was worried that something would happen to her. Danny gave her a look that somehow reminded her of Steve's look when he said he wanted to bring her home. "If you insist, thank you Danny."
"Great, I'll go and check on our stupid head in there and then we go, okay." Danny said when they begun to walk back to the front door of the bar. Catherine nodded and then Danny disappeared in to the bar again.
Inside Steve was still sitting on the table with another beer in front of him. "Did she leave with that son of a…" he asked looking at his partner.
"She's not with him." Danny cut him off. "You and I we will have a talk whether you like it or not. Are you completely nuts now?" Danny raised his voice again.
"I don't care what and with whom she's doing it with. I'm over her." Steve replied. Yeah, right Steve, keep telling yourself that, you know that is just not the case. Steve thought to himself.
"Right, you are over her. In case you want to know I spent the last 10 minutes comforting her because she was crying. And let me tell you why she was crying. Because of what you said to her. You dumbass, Steve, get your head out of your ass!"
"It's a fact." Steve replied as if he didn't care. Danny just shook his head in disbelief.
"Okay." He took a deep breath while he drove his hand through his hair in frustration."You will wait in my car, while I bring her home and don't even think about following us!"
"She's still here?" Steve asked and suddenly he didn't sound like he didn't care for her. He got up from his chair.
"She is, but Steven! Hey!" Danny yelled grabbing him on his arm. "Steve, I swear if you make her cry again I will shoot you myself." Steve just rolled his eyes. How Christian Gray of me, Steve thought to himself. He couldn't believe he actually read all those books after Catherine had told him how much she loved them, and that she thought experimenting in the bedroom like in those books would be hot.
"Okay." Danny was still holding onto Steve as he paid theirs and Catherine's tab.
"Remember what I said, and I'll be watching you." Danny reminded Steve before they walked out.
Catherine leaned against the wall next to the door, she was still upset but after she had cried she felt a little bit better. Her beautiful red dress was now dirty and her makeup was ruined but she didn't care right now. She just wanted to go home and sleep. When the door opened Danny came out first and Catherine was about to go with him when she saw Steve. Her mood suddenly changed from upset to anger as she made the few steps over to Steve meeting him halfway.
"You fucking jerk! I hate you, I hate you for what you said and what you did!" she screamed at him while she punched him on his chest. "I hate you for making me believe that I meant more to you when I didn't!" She screamed at him while she was still punching him over and over again. Steve just stood there helpless, but didn't stop her. She needed to do this and Steve needed to let her he told himself. Until she got it out, he had no chance of fixing this and didn't know what else to do. He just let it happen until Danny stopped her and then she started to cry again.
"Catherine, I'll be there in a second." Danny said pulling Steve over to his car.
"Did you see what you did to her?" he asked opening the door to of the passenger side of his Camero. "Good job, Steven!" he added sarcastically. "And now wait 'till I get back. You better take this time to figure out how to grovel at the woman's feet because that is the next step in case you're interested. It wouldn't hurt to order a dozen or ten long stem roses to soften her up, either" Danny added. With that he shuts the door and turns back to Catherine.
"Cath let me walk you home while Mr. Caveman over there takes a time out. He can be more of a kid than Gracie, sometimes, geez." They both laughed at that when Danny said that to Cath as he put his hand behind her back and led her towards her apartment.
Read and review please and I promise to have the next chapter up on Saturday!
