Chapter twenty

The moment we have all been waiting for has arrived guys! Please review! ENJOY!

"Steve what are you-" Kono shouted as she raced after him after telling Charlie to stay put.

"He had no right to hit you." He yelled as he jumped into his car. "What are you doing?" He asked Kono as she got in beside him.

"We both know what you're like when you are mad."

"Oh I'm more than mad." Steve said as he drove to Adam's house.

He got out and banged on his door. "Open the door Noshimuri!" He yelled.

A minute later the door opened and Steve grabbed Adam by the throat and shoved him into the nearest wall.

"What the fu-" Adam choked.

"You think it's alright to hit a woman, do you?" Steve hissed.

Adam looked at Kono. "I-"

"You what?"

"It was an accident." He tried.

"So what, you're hand accidentally impacted her face and bruised her?" Steve released the man. "You are sick."

"It was in the heat of the moment! I regretted it straight away." Adam pleaded. Steve's hands curled into fists and he punched the man's jaw.

"Steve-" Kono shouted.

"Stay out of it." He yelled back before punching Adam again, but this time in the stomach; he buckled over and lay on the floor. He looked weakly up at Kono.

"Kono...baby please-"

Steve kicked him. And then knelt down beside him before giving a crying Kono a brief look. "Never, and I mean never call her that again. Never look at her again. If I even see you within a mile of her, I swear to God I will kill you." He whispered only loud enough for Adam to hear.

"You love her." Adam hissed in pain. "This isn't about protecting her, it's about winning her." Truth dawned on him.

Steve couldn't help but punch the man one final time before standing up and walking to the door. "And Noshimuri." He turned around. "Don't tell anyone about this, or the world will know that you like to hit women."

Steve looked briefly at Kono before walking to his truck; Kono quickly followed in pursuit. They sat in silence for a moment before Kono turned to face him. "Steve, I don't need you to fight my battles for me."

"I wasn't." He said simply, avoiding eye contact as he drove.

"Yes you were. What you did in there was noble but you didn't need to Steve." She said harshly.

"So what? You would rather have that incident having over you? Have him feel all high and mighty?" He spat back.

"He wasn't feeling high and mighty! He regretted it straight-"

"Oh of course he did." Steve yelled as he stopped the truck and turned to face her in his seat.

"Why did you do it Steve?" She snapped. "You're obviously over me now that you have Lori. So why did you do it?"

"I'm not over you-"

"So why did you go out with her Steve?"

"Because you were with Adam. And I had no one-"

"That doesn't mean you sleep with the first woman-"

"I never slept with her Kono!"

"You obviously want to!" She replied angrily.

Steve put his hand over her mouth and moved towards her. "I do not want to sleep with her Kono." He said. For the first time in her life, she felt scared of him. His eyes were full of anger and pain and lust."

"Why not?" Kono whispered so quietly it was almost inaudible. "She's gorgeous."

"Yeah but she's not you." He replied before kissing her once again. It was long and deep but soft. His hand moved from her face to her legs as he pulled her over onto his lap. She deepened the kiss letting his probing tongue in and began to unzip his jeans. She knew it was still wrong but she couldn't help herself. She had waited too long for this.

Steve reacted with equal fervour, unbuttoning her jeans. "So what our first time is really going to be in my truck?" He asked as he pulled back.

"Don't push it." She smirked back as she felt his bulge. The he made love to her. It was passionate to say the least. She slumped onto him as they both came down from their highs. He briefly kissed her before pulling out and letting her slide back onto her seat.

"Wow..." She said.

"So you still think there's nothing between us?" He asked cockily.

"Nothing." she grinned. "What are you doing?" She asked as he pulled his phone out.

"Texting Lori." He said.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah I need to tell her we are over now that I've got a girlfriend."

He smiled as he texted her.

"What makes you think I'm your girlfriend?"

"Are you not?" He looked at her quickly.

"I never said that..."

"Make up your mind."

"Ask me..." She said as she buttoned up her jeans.

He stared at he in disbelief for a second, then said, "Kono Kalakua, would you please be my girlfriend?"

"No."

"What?" He gaped in shock.

"I'm kidding! I just wanted to see your reaction. On three conditions." he raised his eyebrows. "First, we have to stay professional. No matter what."

"That goes without saying." He said seriously.

"Good. Two, we tell people when I'm ready."

He nodded. "And three?"

"You have to tell Danny and Chin." She smirked up at him.

"And if agree, you'll be my girlfriend?" She kissed him deeply and felt him smile against her lips.

"Good..." He pushed the send button on his phone and showed it to her. "It's a deal."

I'm feeling quite proud at the moment! I think the story is coming to an end but if you think it should continue, please let me know- you're wish is my command :) as always please review!
