Chapter five
Kono woke to a pounding in her head, the room spinning and last night's clothes in a pile on the floor. She glanced to her right taking note of a half empty tequila bottle, a glass of water and some pills. She sat up slowly her head fuzzy as her eyes adjusted to the light filtering through the curtains. She held the sheet to her chest covering her naked breasts before taking the water and pills gratefully.
"Morning" Adam chimed as he entered the bedroom.
"Erhh" Kono groaned as she rested her head on her knees.
"How's your head?"
"Mmmm"
"Is that all I'm going to get…syllables?"
"Ahmm"
"You look a mess babe"
"Erghh" Kono groaned as she collapsed back in the bed regretting it instantly. "Mmmm"
Adam chuckled at his wife and crawled on to the bed next to her, propping his head on his hand.
"It's not fair" Kono mumbled.
"What isn't fair?"
"That you always look good…I don't stand a chance after a night out"
Adam laughed and smiled at the ego boast.
"Babe your beautiful to me, even when you stager into the house at three am with a tequila bottle under your arm and your make up ruined and your even more beautiful in the morning when your hair's dishevelled and your nearly naked." Adam chuckled as he ruffled her hair.
Kono smiled weakly and lifted the covers seeing she still wore last night's panties, no wander she was uncomfortable. She frowned and wriggled out of the thong throwing it on the pile of discarded clothes.
"Babe I really don't think you're up for sex right now"
"I was uncomfortable"
"I tried to remove them as well last night but you insisted you had a husband and would never cheat on him…I'd like to meet this other husband of yours" Adam laughed.
"At least you know even when drunk I would never cheat"
"Hmmm but you did let me remove your bra, who else saw your boobs?"
"Only you baby"
Adam smiled and brushed Kono's matted hair out her face gently, tucking it behind her ears.
"Did you have fun last night?"
"Yeah…I missed you though"
"I missed you too but it's good to go see your girlfriends"
"Yeah but I'm glad I come home to you"
"Well I'm just glad you came home full stop"
"Don't mock me"
"You want some food?"
"Mmmm pancakes"
"Okay, go jump in the shower I'll start breakfast…although looking at the time will call it lunch" Adam laughed as he left the bedroom.
The bed rocked with every thrust, moans echoing through the room, the combined sound of their heavy panting breaths, their bodies tangled in a web of limbs a light speckle of sweat covering their bodies...heads thrown back in passion.
"Wow"
"Mmmm"
"I missed that"
"Mmmm"
"Is that all I'm getting…mmmm"
"I can't speak…too good"
"Cath?"
"Hmm"
"You good?"
"Yeah…I missed that too"
Steve smirked cockily and licked his lips tantalizingly.
"We could go again?"
"We've been going all night"
"You complaining?"
"No"
"Hmm"
"Steve"
"Yeah"
"We never make it to dinner!"
They laughed heartily, wrapping themselves around each other and chuckling at their actions, the smiles on both their faces genuine and loving.
"So…what is this?" Cath asked after a while.
"Ermm"
"…"
"I don't know whatever works for us…you know casual" Steve muttered as his phone rung.
Kono walked into HQ with her large sunglasses on and her face make up free. The last thing Kono wanted was the guys seeing her hungover but the governor had called the team in on a case that couldn't wait until Monday.
"You look a little worse for wear" Danny laughed as Kono lifted her glasses.
"Shut up Danno"
"Really! This is your fault Steven you starting calling me that"
"To be fair I think Gracie started it"
"Neanderthal" Danny muttered.
"Did you have a good night Steve?" Kono asked as she leant against the smart table.
"Yeah" Steve offered with a smirk.
"You slept with her didn't you"
"We just never make it to dinner" Steve shrugged as Chin entered HQ.
Kono looked up as she heard Chin enter and gave a small smile towards her cousin.
"Hey cuz!"
"Don't" Chin snapped before storming into his office.
"What the hell?"
"What did you do?" Danny asked.
Kono frowned and shrugged her shoulders. Even as kids she could never upset Chin enough for him to lose his cool, but he looked mad.
"Should I talk to him?" Kono asked almost scared.
"Yeah babe"
Kono sighed and wandered over to Chin's office opening the door slowly and entering with caution. Chin was leaning over his desk moving papers around before turning and perching against the desk a calloused hand running down his face, his eyes boring into Kono.
"Cuz what's wrong?" Kono asked.
"What's wrong" Chin stated sternly.
Kono actually wanted the ground to swallow her up; she was in no mood or state to listen to Chin shouting over whatever she did.
"You seem pissed"
"Yes I'm pissed Kono because you can't keep things to yourself, you have to go and make everything worse!" Chin snapped loud enough for Danny and Steve to hear.
"Chin…"
"I walk in here this morning and have some jerk HPD officer informs me that his night out last night was livened up by the confrontation between you and Malia!"
Kono swallowed nervously as she remembered last night. Malia had entered the bar with some friends before approaching Kono at the bar. She had asked about her and Chin, wanting to know how he was doing…Kono had stayed less than cool.
"Cuz"
"No Kono…my relationship with Malia has nothing to do with you, you had no right speaking to her the way you did. From what this officer had to say you caused a right scene and you got worse the more you drunk"
"Chin if I want to go out and drink I will and if I want to say something to that bitch of an ex then I will"
"She is not a bitch Kono, you don't know what happened"
"She left you when you were disgraced, what sort of girlfriend does that! She had no business coming and asking me how you were she doesn't deserve to know, I was sticking up for you"
"I don't need you sticking up for me"
"God your so pig headed!"
"Kono!"
"No Chin, don't stand there scolding me like some little kid, I can say what I want to who I want, I thought I was looking out for you but clearly you don't appreciate it" Kono snapped angrily her head pounding as she raised her voice.
"Guys!" Steve called as Chin and Kono turned to see the governor had entered.
The cousins sighed and left the office, standing either end of the smart table away from the other, Danny and Steve caught in the middle.
"I hope everything is okay" Jameson said eyeing the cousins.
"Yes sir" Chin stated whilst Kono nodded.
"Good, I apologise for having to call you all in today but this case is personal. My friend the ambassador of the Philippines, his daughter Amanda is missing."
