Hey guys! Thank you so much for the fantastic reviews, favourites and follows and even to those of you who just read this fic. Sorry this chapter is short but I wanted to get it to you guys ASAP! So ENJOY!

Steve walked into his office in his usual cargo pants and t-shirt to see Lori sat waiting for him at his desk. Like always, he was in before anyone else and for once he was thankful for that.

"Lori what are you doing here?" He asked as he rubbed his head.

"What am I doing here? Steve, you texted me only hours after our first date saying it was over!" Steve raised his eyebrows at her. "I want an explanation."

"I just...look I'm sorry Lori. It wasn't fair and I know that but..."

"Steve you know we worked. You know there was something." She said walking seductively towards him.

"Nope." He heard a door open and assumed it was just Danny or chin coming in. Kono was always in last so he didn't have to worry about her.

"Come on Steve." She said frustrated. "Tell me why."

"Because Lori I found someone else." He said loudly.

"But I'm better...trust me." She placed her hands on his broad chest and began to run her fingers up and down it.

"No Lori." He said huskily.

"You know you want it." She leant in towards him and kissed him fiercely. He pushed her away immediately but not before the door to his office opened and Danny walked in.

"Wow...didn't expect that." He said leaving the room.

"Get out Lori. I want you to stay away from me, do you understand?" He hissed. "Look I'm sorry about what I did but..."

"You know save it Steve." She said before grabbing her bag and storming out.

Steve carried on with his day as usual. Danny kept sniggering at him but said nothing. But Kono had been distant all day. At about 4, he walked into her office.

"What's going on Kono?" He asked, hands on hips.

"What's going on? What's going on Steve is that you kissed Lori." She yelled.

"I did not kiss Lori." Steve denied.

"Really? So what happened? You tripped on her lips?"

"What? No. She came into the office today, tried to seduce me and kissed me. But I pushed her away immediately!" Steve added quickly at Kono's mad look.

"Yeah? Well Danny thinks something is going on between you."

"Danny told you she kissed me?" She nodded. "And you believed him?"

"He can be convincing when he wants to be." Kono said with an apologetic look. Her phone buzzed and she checked her messages.

Hey Kono! So basics I met my grandma today and Steve still sent me to school! Evil right? Anyway, can you come over tonight? X

"You sent Charlie to school after she'd just met Doris?" Kono asked incredulously.

"Well she can't have the day off every time she meets someone new." Steve dismissed. "You should come over this evening."

"Your daughter has already invited me."

"Come...we can tell her about us..." Steve said as he placed his hands on Kono's waist. She pried his fingers of her.

"That is not professional." She said. "And no, we aren't telling anyone until we've been on a few dates." She said leaving the room and giving Steve a very appealing view of her backside.
