Saga

The 'Interruptions' Saga

Snippet Number Twenty Nine

Danielle Williams forced a smile onto her face as she pushed her food across her plate with her fork and wondered how long she had to sit there before she could legitimately leave without it appearing rude.

She wasn't even sure how she had allowed herself to get into this situation.

She should have simply smiled at Amy Hanamoa and said no when the older woman had turned up at the 50 offices where Danielle worked with lunch and non-stop gossip about this old friend of her husband Meka, who happened to be on the island for the next six months and who Amy had been positive would be perfect for Danielle.

Danielle had been tempted to point out that the last time Amy had set her up with someone had ended in disaster but the other woman seemed so sure this time that Danielle decided to say yes to a blind date just to have an easier life.

Now she wished she had simply said no or made up an excuse that she already had plans. She was sure the other members of her team would have provided her with an alibi if she had asked them to.

It wasn't that there was anything wrong with the man in front of her. It was just that… well… if she was being completely honest than she found him boring something which she blamed on her partner Steve McGarrett. Clearly being exposed daily to Steve's crazy personality had somehow warped her as well, making good looking, respectable accountants seem pale in comparison and it frustrated her.

"Are you not enjoying your food?"

Danielle blinked, bringing her eyes up to see Kurt looking at her with a concerned look which made her feel like a complete ass. Here the man was trying to keep her entertained and be a good date and all she could think about was how bored she was and wondering what her partner would be doing right now.

"It's nice, I just ate too much at lunch" She told him as she placed her fork down on her plate and took a sip of her wine. "It was lovely though" She added.

"Good, I'm glad. I wasn't sure where to take you to be honest." Kurt admitted looking rueful as he stabbed at a piece of broccoli, looking up at her with dark green eyes which she had to admit were lovely looking.

"No?" She asked in surprise.

"No, Meka said you were a lady so I wanted to take you somewhere special. You look lovely by the way" He said, his eyes dropping briefly to her dark purple dress before they looked up at her again.

"Thank you" She said, her smile becoming more natural as she continued to speak. "I've never been here before but I always wanted to. My work colleague Chin's was here a few months ago and he told me all about it. I had…" She stopped, glancing towards her bag when the familiar sound of her cell phone ringtone went off. "Wow, excuse me." She said, leaning down and fishing it out of her bag and glancing down at the screen. "Sorry it's work, I have to take it." She said to Kurt before she hit the connect button and brought it to her ear. "Detective Williams."

"Hey Danno" Steve's voice said over the line, sounding relaxed and lazy. "How's the date going? Is he boring you to tears yet?"

Danielle frowned, pushing her chair back as she came to her feet. She held her hand over the mouth piece and gave Kurt an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry, I just need to…" her voice trailed off as she used the phone to point towards the courtyard section of the restaurant which was clearly empty.

"That's fine, I'll… I'll just wait here for you." Kurt said with a smile at her.

She nodded, turning and heading toward the courtyard, remaining silent until she was outside and the door and closed behind her.

"Steven, why are you calling me? Is this work related?" She demanded.

"No, not work related. Just thought I would call and see how it was doing. Kono said the guy was an accountant?" Steve questioned, a trace of disgust to his voice.

"Yes he is an Accountant and he's perfect pleasant and…"

"Boring" Steve finished for her. "Come on Danno, this is me, you think I don't know what you mean with what you say. If you were having a good time then you wouldn't have answered my call because you know that I never ring you from my personal cell phone with work matters. You picked up because you wanted me to interrupt your date."

"You are unbelievable Steve" Danielle said with a roll of her eyes. "I picked up in case something had happened you ass. I didn't actually expect you to call and interrupt me mid-way through a date."

"More like I rescued you from a bad date" Steve corrected. "Look Danni, why don't you ditch the accountant and come over to mine instead, I've got your favourite wine here and the grill is already going, not to mention the fact that I recorded the last two ice hockey matches for you to watch."

"The last two?" Danielle remarked, raising an eyebrow, glancing over her shoulder at Kurt, a feeling of guilt coming over her at the slight slump to his shoulders. A slump which she had placed there. "No, I can't Steve, maybe another time. I've got to go" She told him before she ended the call and headed back towards the table, a slight sense of unease coming over her.

Somehow she had the feeling that she hadn't heard the last from Steve that evening.
