Chapter 4

The crowd in the bar had eventually died down as the girls left the stage and made their way over to the table were the guys sat. Danny had already been and got in another round including beers for girls. As they took a seat the only chair Kono left as right next to Steve, she hesitated just slightly but took the seat anyway it wasn't like she hadn't sat next to him before but this time was different since he still seemed to hold the same look in his eyes that he'd had since she stepped out onto the stage. Deciding that the case came first before her love life and frustrations she might as well throw herself into work;

"So have you guys seen anyone suspicious going around in groups of separately?" she asked looking around the three men, Steve seemed to come back to reality at her question;

"Nothing so far but it's still early yet, the Governor made it sound more like that the men made their move once the girls got through the final heat so it might be the same tonight" Steve said as he casually slipped arm around the back of Kono's chair, a move that didn't go unnoticed by anyone including Kono.

"Well I think you girls will definitely be in their sights if you keep performing like that" Danny saidmotioning with his head towards the stage were the poles where now being removed.

"Well that's the whole point Danny but we do have more up our sleeves" Lori said which gained the guys attention and the three girls burst out laughing. Steve had to hold back the smile that threatened to take over his face at the sound of Kono laughing, how he loved that sound.

"Are you ok with this?" it was Chin that broke through the laughter with a question straight to Malia; Malia just patted his cheek;

"Of course I am, it's a chance for us girls to let our hair down and have fun together. And I have the best team watching my back" she said honestly to Chin and squeezed his hand. The girls excused themselves and made their way to the bathroom, Steve watched them walk away but his eyes were focused on Kono the whole time. His whole body tensed at the scene that started to play out in front of him, some guy had made his way over the girls and stopped them just outside the bathroom door but his main interest was Kono with the way his eyes looked over her body made his blood boil. He could tell Kono wasn't interested at all as she said something to him and pushed herself past to make her way through the bathroom door. Steve visibly relaxed and was grateful she couldn't seem him, he seemed to zone out as he remember back to the day were he knew his feelings for Kono were changing;

FLASHBACK

Steve stood leaning over the railings watching Kono get dragged into hugs from every parent of the students. It had been a hard case but they managed to save the students and return everyone to their families safely. Standing there now watching Kono speak to everyone that spoke to her and returned every hug he knew deep down that things for him were changing. Later that night he found Kono sitting in her office with the radio on and doing paperwork, he stood off to the side watching her closely as she wrote out her report and sang along to a song playing in the background. He was so lost in thought that he didn't realise that the radio had moved onto a different song and that song hit him pretty hard. He thought back to the resent case and everything that had happened in the past while listening to the lyrics, he knew in that moment that things for him love wise would never be the same again.

END OF FLASHBACK

Steve was brought out of his thoughts when he heard the crowd cheer and whistle, looking towards the stage he noticed that another group and just finished singing he didn't he know another group had went on. Sighing he knew this had to stop and he had to do something about himself and Kono. He knew what he was going to do as he stood up and made his way over to a member of staff near the backstage side door, he spotted the curious looks that Danny and Chin gave him but just ignored them, he was going to do this and he just hoped that Kono felt the same as he told the man what song lyrics he needed, it was the song that played that night in Kono's office. Steve grabbed a stool from the bar along with a microphone and sat in the middle of the stage waiting for a certain someone to show her face. Kono made her way out of the bathrooms ahead of Lori and Malia, she was busy looking around making sure that creepy guy wasn't waiting on her when she spotted a sight she never thought she would see caused her to stop dead in her tracks and make Lori and Malia nearly crash into her. Kono swallowed hard as the music started and Steve locked eyes with her before singing;

You light the skies up above me

A star so bright you blind me, yeah, yeah

Don't close your eyes

Don't fade away, don't fade away, oh

Yeah you and me we can ride on a star

If you stay with me girl, we can rule the world

Yeah you and me we can light up the sky

If you stay by my side, we can rule the world

If walls break down, I will comfort you

If angels cry, oh, I'll be there for you

You've saved my soul

Don't leave me down; don't leave me now, oh

Yeah you and me we can ride on a star

If you stay with me girl, we can rule the world

Yeah you and me we can light up the sky

If you stay by my side, we can rule the world

Danny and Chin sat there wide eyed and speechless, never in a million years did they think they would ever hear Steve sing never mind try to get out his feelings for a certain girl in a crowded bar. Lori and Malia still hadn't moved from their spot from behind Kono and were just as shocked as the guys. As for Kono well she had no idea what to think she was too lost in Steve's eyes to think about anything in that moment.

All the stars are coming out tonight

They're lighting up the sky tonight for you, for you

All the stars are coming out tonight

They're lighting up the sky tonight for you, for you, oh

Yeah you and me we can ride on a star

If you stay with me girl, we can rule the world

Yeah you and me we can light up the sky

If you stay by my side, we can rule the world

All the stars are coming out tonight

They're lighting up the sky tonight for you, for you

All the stars are coming out tonight

They're lighting up the sky tonight for you, for you, oh

All the stars are coming out tonight

They're lighting up the sky tonight for you, for you

All the stars are coming out tonight

They're lighting up the sky tonight for you, for you

Everyone in the bar stood and cheered and it seemed as though this noise made Lori and Malia realise that they hadn't moved and decided to head back to the table when they seen Steve approach. Steve made his way over to Kono who had this look in her eyes that he couldn't quite read; he stopped just inches from her;

"Hey" he said just loud enough for Kono to hear. Kono locked eyes with him and swallowed hard before answering;

"Hey you're a really good singer, whoever you sang that for is one lucky girl" Kono replied really hoping deep down that it was for her but didn't want to hope just in case. Steve looked right into her eyes and hoped she would be able to read them just as much as he could read hers, he moved in closer just inches away from her lips. Kono licked her lips as she seen Steve's eyes quickly move to them before moving in closer and just when they lips were so close Steve phone went off indicating a message and they both jumped apart. Kono looked everywhere but at Steve as he read the read the message before sighing as it was nothing important. Steve went to say something but noticed that Kono had her eyes locked onto something else, following her gaze he noticed a strange looking man staring at Kono, his gut told him something wasn't right but before he had a chance to say anything Kono beat him too it;

"I'm going to go and get another round in before we're due back on stage, see you back at the table" and with that she walked away before Steve had a chance to reply.

Kono managed to get as close the guy as possible, the bar was busy but she could hear him talking so she was close enough. She thought back to a few minutes ago Steve was about to kiss her and if it wasn't for his mobile them god knows what would have happened. She was disappointed but she could sort that out later as she was quickly brought back to the case at hand when she heard the guy at the bar's conversation;

"yeah I no…yeah they don't suspect anything they seem a tight nit group and they're with 3 guys but they won't be a problem…if the first performance for them is anything to go by then yeah we're onto a winner here…ok..yeah fine…bye" the guy said before he stuffed his phone back into his pocket. Kono's eyes went wide and her eyebrows shot to her hairline as she heard the one sided conversation, this was one of the men they were looking for but caught a glimpse of him as he turned slightly as she was dumbfounded this guy was HPD. God she needed to find Steve and fast, with that thought in mind she made her way back through the crowded back in search for one person.

And there is chapter 4 so what do you think, Steve and Kono nearly kissed but damn his phone. I wonder who sent him a text just at that moment. Does Kono have something up her sleeve for Steve and what else do the girls have in store? Chapter 5 up soon.
