Steve. He is all that I could think about. After three days and five million ignored phone calls, I realize that I was wrong to react the way that I did. I spent 18 years being controlled by my parents. Never again would I allow myself to feel the way they made me feel, the way several people in my past have made me feel. I am an independent woman. I don't need a man to have a good life. But I do know that I want one in my life. Now the real question is…how the hell am I going to fix this?
"He's a mess you know."
"*Sigh* I dunno what to do Kono. I totally overreacted. He's going to think that I am a complete mental patient now. I mean I've been ignoring him for three days. I wouldn't even answer his phone calls. Ugh! I am so stupid."
"You aren't stupid Hannah. Just explain things to him the way you explained them to me. I totally understand where you are coming from and why you reacted the way you did when it happened. But you did overreact. You know that, I know that, and I'm pretty sure Steve and Danny know that to. He won't think any less of you, he just wants you to talk to him. He cares Han. So get your cute butt all prettified and get yourself down to headquarters, because you know he is there sulking and annoying the hell out of Danny and Chin Ho."
"Thanks Kono. I'm gonna get cleaned up and set some things up. See you at headquarters a little bit later?"
"Yeah I'll be there."
"Mahalo nui loa."
"Ey! You're getting better! And your welcome. See ya!"
I spent the next two hours making myself look as amazing as possible. I had decided I would surprise Steve at work and take him out to dinner to apologize for how I reacted to the situation. I was showered, shaved, and lathered up with lotion, spritzed with my favorite perfume, and my hair was puffed and curled. I think I looked pretty damn good. Hopefully Danny won't flip out too much at the length of my black mini skirt. As I pulled up to Five-0 Headquarters I started to feel really nervous. What if he didn't want to see me? What if he doesn't forgive me for the way I've been acting? What if he doesn't understand? So many things could go wrong right now. But I had to face my fears, otherwise I would never have a shot at getting Steve. It was now or never.

"Hello again Hannah."
I looked up to see Jenny, the nice receptionist who was working the first time I came to headquarters to find Danny, smiling at me with the very welcoming and warm smile that I remembered .
"Oh, hello, Jenny right?"
"Yes! How sweet of you to remember. You must be here to see your brother. He and Mr. McGarrett are up in the Five-0 Conference room. Go ahead and just head on up, I know you know the way. Would you like me to call them and let them know you are on your way?"
"No thank you Jenny. I'm actually here to see Steve. I'd rather it be a surprise that I am here. Thank you though. Have a great weekend!"
You can do this. You can do this. You can do this. You can do this. That was all that was running through my mind as I rode the elevator up to the second floor where the man of my dreams was solving crimes with my big brother and new found friends Kono and Chin Ho. No man has ever made me feel as nervous or as excited and Steve McGarrett does. I immediately saw the whole team crowded around a table, looking at what I assumed to be evidence of some sort. It was now or never.
"Steve?"
"Hannah! Wow. You're here. I didn't think you'd want to talk to me. I'm glad you're here. You look amazing."
"I see you took my advice and decided to come talk to your lover boy. Come on Chin, Danny, let's give the love birds some space to sort things out."
"But –"
"Danny Williams get your butt out of here. Don't make me hurt you."
"*Sigh* Fine. Call me if you need me Han. Love you baby sis."
"Love you to Danny."
After Kono and Danny completely embarrassed me with that scene Chin just winked at me as he passed by. I wish Danny was more like that sometimes lol. After everybody was gone and they shut the door I looked back over at Steve. He was staring at me with a look that I couldn't decipher.
"Steve? I came here to apologize. I shouldn't have reacted the way that I did. It's just my parents smothered me when I was a kid, they made all my decisions for me and I never felt like I could do what I really wanted to do in life. I've missed out on so much because of that and when you said that Danny told you it was okay with him if we were together, I felt like I was 15 again. I don't ever want to feel like that again Steve."
Silence. That was the response that I got. Now I went from nervous to terrified.
"You have no reason to be sorry Hannah. I get it, I get why you flipped out like that. I should have thought about what I said before I said it. I don't ever want you to feel like you don't have a say in how things go or what we do. I would have still gone for you if Danny said he wasn't okay with it. The feelings I have for you are just way too strong to ignore. Will you give me another chance to prove to you how much I want to be with you?"
"I was hoping that you would give me a second chance. So I guess that means we agree to give each other another chance. So let's start now. Would you like to go out to dinner with me, on a real date?"
"Deal. Let's get out of here. I know a great little seafood restaurant not far from here. How does that sound?"
"Perfect. "
And it was. Perfect. We spent the night eating great food, learning about each other and laughing. I don't think I have ever laughed so much in my life. With Steve I felt more free than I have ever felt before, even when I was completely alone travelling the world, living by my own rules. Steve McGarrett is quickly becoming the best thing that has ever happened to me. I have never been happier.
Sorry this one is short. I didn't have anything to add to this and it would have been to long to add this and the next chapter together. Only one more chapter left that I wrote a few years ago. Then if feedback is good I will continue on the story with new chapters! Thanks for reading!
