A crush on the boss part 3

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

Kono Kalakaua sat at her desk with her nose stuck on the files on top of it and tried her best to avoid looking up at the excited and mocking faces of her co-workers. She was so not leading them along.

Oh my God Kono, you're worrying over a couple of mocking jackasses right now? Well, NEWS FLASH! You should be worrying about the fact that your boss just caught you checking him out TWICE and MOCKED you about it. Well, at least Danny and Chin haven't noticed it the positive voice in her head replied. Well guess what? If you and Steve keep this up they will! Ok, let's not freak out, let's analyze it first and then freak out.

At that moment it was like two voices took control of Kono's mind and a conversation started.

Ok, let's go step by step ok?

Ok!

You have a crush on your boss that has been acting up lately.

Yes sir.

He caught you ogling him twice.

You are correct.

He hasn't fired you yet.

Yeah…

He shamelessly mocked you when he caught you checking out his ass.

Yes.

And he seemed to be enjoying it…

Wait, wait, where are you getting at?

And what was up with that look he gave you?

Ok stop! This is not helping at all! We just need to start a more EFECTIVE plan to keep my attraction for him behind very closed very strong bars that not even Steve could tear apart.

I don't know about that, with those to die for biceps and muscled arms…

Stop! Once again, NOT Helping! What am I going to do about this?

Ok, I got an idea, just hear me out.

Ok.

You said it yourself that you needed to stay professional above all, but the minute he brushed past you your reaction was anything but professional. So if he can cause your professional side to be melted into your personal side, then what about if you just plain simple cut him out? You know, ignore him completely, you don't look at him EVER, you don't let him effect you and you don't check him out.

Easy to talk…

Okay, then if you do start checking him out you just pinch yourself really hard until the pain is worse than you can bare and you have to look away.

Oh yeah, hurting myself to stop checking out a guy… well I guess it IS my only idea… okay we'll give it a try. But if this doesn't work I'm so going to die out of embarrassment.

"Hey coz, coz!" Chin tried to get her attention once again.

Dam you Chin, always interrupting my thoughts! Kono thought to herself as she lifted her head to face Chin.

"What?" she asked, a nasty tone of voice directed at Chin and Danny who just looked at each other with similar expressions on their faces.

"Oh good, now that we've got your attention…" Danny started, taking a chair from a nearby desk and sitting in front of her. "You see we were expecting you would shed some light on what happened this morning. Something you want to share with the class?" Danny teased wiggling his eyebrows, matching the look Chin had splattered all across his face.

"Danny what the hell are you talking about?" Kono almost growled in his face, realizing she wasn't getting out of this with fake reassuring smiles.

"Oh c'mon coz, you can do better than that!" Chin also took a seat across from her and suddenly changed his expression to a more serious one. "But seriously coz, what the hell happened out there? We both saw him leaning in to you like he was whispering something." Chin finished gesturing towards him and Danny.

"Look I have no idea what you're talking about; can you guys just leave me alone?" Kono was getting a little tired of the conversation. She could see that Danny was about to reply when a harsh voice sounded behind them.

"Hey listen up guys!" They all turned back to see Steve standing there with his hands on his hips. God that's sexy Kono thought, but quickly remembered where she was and slapped herself mentally.

"Danny, you and Chin are gonna go check out the victims parents to see if they know anything about his murderer ok?" Steve asked and immediately saw Danny and Chin nodding at him.

He then turned towards Kono with an almost imperceptible smirk and ordered.

"Kono, you and I are going to talk with some of the victim's friends to see if they know anything about what or who he was getting involved with. C'mon guys, let's get moving." And with that he turned his back on them and started walking towards the door when Danny's voice stopped him.

"Wait, wait, and wait! Why did you pair me up with Chin? Am I not good enough for you anymore?" Danny asked, a hurtful look on his face.

"Just thought I'd change partners for a while. You know, while your car's still at the shop." He added, getting a kick out of the glare Danny was launching at him and the scared look that crossed Kono's beautiful features for a minute.

"I'll get you back on that one mister." Danny threatened before getting up along with Chin and heading to the parking lot.

"So Kono, shall we?" Steve asked with a mysterious look in his eyes that send a shiver down her spine.

Steve watched as she swallowed hard and rushed to get on her feet and head for the parking lot herself.

"Yeah sure, come on." Kono said without even looking at him. She still didn't trust herself enough to look at his handsome face, and now she was going to have to spend an entire day with him. Oh God, what was she going to do?

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

The minute she popped in on his truck and put her sit belt on and they drove off, Kono looked out the window and focused on a distant point in the ocean, keeping herself from looking at him.

She could hear Steve turning on the radio, but at first she didn't think much of it. That is, of course, because she hadn't turned around to see his evil smirk. But anyway, turning on the radio couldn't do anything to her right? WRONG! So incredibly wrong!

Because just as he turned the dam thing on he started humming to the song. HUMMING! With that super sexy low voice he started humming to the rhythm of the song and Kono's first thought was "Are you freaking kidding me?" Oh yes, God most certainly hated her.

She started squirming in her sit, his low gravy voice doing wonders to parts of her body she did NOT need acting up right now.

Steve risked a glance at her and almost laughed his ass off as he saw her squirming in her seat; he was SO getting a kick out of it. He tightened his grip on the wheel to keep from laughing. But she didn't need to worry, he planned on ending her suffering soon; really soon…

They continued to ride along the road heading to Sarah Anderson's house, a friend of the victim, and all the way he could see Kono squirming uncomfortably in her seat.

Please Steve, stop humming please… was all that was left in Kono's mind as she could feel herself start to throb in unacceptable places while on the job.

He decided it was time to finally say something to her, but at the last minute he decided against what he was originally going to say, he just wanted to get a few more hours out of the delicious torture. Didn't keep him from being nasty though…

"Hey Kono, are you ok? You've been squirming all the way down here. Is something wrong?" Steve asked with a small smile on his face.

Kono felt the blush quickly settle on her cheeks and hurried to reply.

"Squirming? I'm sorry Steve but I have not been squirming!" She chuckled nervously and looked him in the eyes.

He held her gaze for two seconds before he dropped his eyes back on the road and replied one more time before closing the topic.

"Okay sure, whatever you say. Oh, by the way, don't dampen my seat please."

Kono's jaw dropped at that.

"WHAT?"

"Your water bottle is still open from the last time you took a sip." Steve calmly replied. "What did you think I was talking about?" He asked, winking at her with an obvious smirk before he parked the truck. "We're here!"
