CHAPTER 10
After going back to the Five-0 headquarters and giving their statements, Matt and Vince finally headed to the Novelli's house. On the way, Matt asked Vince to stop at a little market. When he came back out, he was carrying three bouquets of flowers.
"What in the heck are those for?" Vince looked at Matt like he had slipped his moorings.
"You mean to tell me you don't know - Mr. I've-Been-Married-For-Almost-Twenty-Years? I'm trying to help bail your butt out. Maybe you won't be sleeping on the couch tonight." He gave a big sigh.
Vince started the van and backed out of the parking space, continuing the trip home. "Wait a minute. I've got a wife and you've got a wife. What's with the third bouquet?"
Matt looked at his best friend. "Humph. Fat lot you know. You don't go taking flowers to two women in the household when there's another around. You have to get all of 'em flowers. Gees Vince, don't you know anything?"
Back at the house, the three women were waiting up for them. It was almost midnight when the van pulled into the drive. As they came through the door, Matt carrying one bouquet and Vince two, they gave out the flowers. Matt got a big hug and lengthy kiss from CJ, Vince got a hug from his mom, and Isabella just looked at him. Finally she smiled at him and gave him a hug. "I guess you can sleep in the bedroom tonight." Matt looked over CJ's head at Vince and winked, then tucked his head back down and started kissing CJ.
