The 'From the Ashes' Saga

Snippet Number Twenty Eight

Danni Williams breathed out, dropping her pen on the table in front of her before she closed the file in front of her with a thankful smile, picking it up and placing it carefully in her completed tray. The day had dragged on far too long for her liking but it was over now, not only was it over but it was Friday which meant that she had two glorious days off and she planned to make the most of it.

Her smile widened as she came to her feet, placing her bag on the table and glancing towards her partner Steve McGarrett's office surprised to see that it was empty. Frowning slightly she moved out of her office after glancing at her cell surprised to see no messages. Steve was meant to be coming round Danni's house for the weekend and she had it planned perfectly. She was going to cook his favourite meal, give him a massage and then tell him that she was in love with him. They had been sleeping together for two months but she had never said the words, too scared and nervous about what he might say but now she was determined to just tell him and pray that he felt the same way.

She headed over to Kono's office, knocking on the door, her smile returning when she saw the way the younger woman was gripping her hair. It was no secret that Kono hated paperwork and found having to do it a chore.

"I'm leaving now! She said as she entered the room. "You got much more to do?"

"About thirty minute's worth" Kono answered with a sigh.

"I'm sure it will zoom by." Danni said comfortingly. "I don't suppose you've seen Steve have you?" Kono glanced towards Steve's office and shrugged.

"He took off early. Catherine turned up when you were at CSU and from the way they were kissing I'm guessing they plan to spend the whole weekend together in bed. He said to say night to both you and Chin but I forgot." Kono answered.

Danni felt her smile freeze on her face.

"Catherine?" She repeated. Kono looked back at her and blinked taking in Danni's suddenly pale face.

"Danni are you okay?" She asked worriedly, frowning when Danni nodded with an obvious fake smile.

"Of course I am, Steve and I had plans this weekend but I guess he found a better offer then what I could give him. I'll see you Monday okay, have a good time."

Danni turned and headed out the door, waving towards Jack before she hurried out of the office, foregoing the elevator and taking the stairs as she tried to ignore the way her heart was breaking. It was her own fault really, Steve had never said they were exclusive or that he had ended it with Catherine but she had just assumed that was the case. It certainly explained why he kept her at a distance though at the time she hadn't realised it.

Shaking her head Danni headed towards her car, her gaze flickering towards Steve's empty car park space which backed up Kono's theory that Steve couldn't even wait until the end of the working day to get his Lieutenant with benefits into bed, she let out a bitter laugh. If Catherine was his Lieutenant with benefits what did that make Danni? His Detective with benefits.

She climbed into her car and sat there for a moment, trying to ignore the thought running round her head that she had clearly not been good enough or adventurous enough in bed to hold his fancy. She swallowed hard, reversing out of her car parking space and heading out onto the main road towards her home. It took her twenty minute to pull into her driveway and abandon her car. She entered her home and looked around her, closing the door and locking it safe in the knowledge that Grace would be with Duncan by now.

For the first time she was thankful that Steve has always insisted they went to his house, at least there was nothing surrounding her which was tainted by him.

She couldn't believe he had done this to her but at least she had found out before she told him that she loved him. She could at least maintain a bit of pride.

Danni moved into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of wine, opening it and pouring herself a glass before she took a sip, her eyes closing. She ignored everything else as she unlocked the back door and stepped out into her garden, smelling the flower scented air before she sank into her chair swing, wiping at her eyes and letting out a broken laugh when her fingertips came away wet. It was the story of her life that she was left with a broken heart while the man who she loved was fucking someone else and probably having an amazing time.

"Enough Danielle" She murmured to herself, taking another sip of drink.

If Steve didn't love her then that was that. She wouldn't moon after a man or waste her time on someone who just saw her as a convenient fuck. If Steve wanted that then he could find someone else instead. Maybe he would get lucky and Catherine would move to Hawaii full time and they could be together since he obviously found Danni lacking.

She would stop wasting her time on him and find someone else who wanted her for her and didn't want someone else in his bed as well.

It would be hard but she could do it.

Hell she deserved it.

Taking another sip of her wine she nodded to herself, wrapping her arms around her knees. Tonight she would allow herself to mourn what might have been but tomorrow.

Well tomorrow would be a brand new day for her.
