Breaking Free (1) ~ Hawaii Five-0

7. Nostalgic wars

Yasmin's Apartment, 6 am

My eyes fly open when the sound of a cupboard door slamming shut wakes me from my sleep. I instantly get the knife that I had laying on the table next to me and make my way to where the noise came from. Waking up to the sound sent my heart into a frenzy thumping but I'm able to calm my self down by controlling my breathing. I stop walking when I get to the corner of the entrance to the kitchen, whoever was in there was still searching for something. As quick as I was trained to do, I hold my knife up and turn the corner, ready to throw it at the invader. Eyes looked back at me in shock and they almost drop the cup of coffee they had in their hand,

"Are you crazy! I could've killed you!" I say as I slam the knife down on the kitchen counter.

"In your dreams, what could have actually killed me is the lack of food you have in here," Guy says then takes a drink of the coffee he helped himself to.

"Well, I didn't really think I would have to buy food for 3," I tease him

"Hey, I do not eat that much!" He furrows his eyebrows as he lifts up his shirt, revealing his 6 pack.

"Ugh show off," I lightly slap his arm and wrap my own around his chest.

"Ahh I missed you," He gives me a tight hug and spins me around, making me laugh.

He puts me down again and I take a step back,

"Let me freshen up and we'll go get some Loco Moco," I smile 

"Good cuz honestly it was your breath that could have killed me," He cheekily raises an eyebrow and slowly moves his arms in front of his chest in a defensive way, getting ready to protect himself if I were to attack.

"Asshole," I give him a dead-eyed look and walk away towards the bathroom. 

It was a short drive to the diner that we used to go to when we were kids, they serve the best loco moco on the island. The day was a little hotter than yesterday and since I was going to five-0 after this breakfast I wore something suitable for the office; my signature combat boots as usual (They're my favourite can you tell?), jeans, a light blue short-sleeved blouse and I wore my hair half up half down with minimal makeup on my face. The waitress leads us to a booth by the window and we order as soon as we sit down, knowing what we wanted already.

"It's been a while since we came here," Guy says as his eyes look around the place before landing on me.

"Yeah, back when times were simpler," I nod my head, feeling nostalgic when a whiff of the familiar smells of the diner makes its way through my nose, "So how have you been?"

"Good- It's not the same without you," He changes the direction of his answer

"Guy..." I softly say, feeling bad for leaving him alone but at the same time wishing he would stop trying to pull me back in.

"I know I know," His sad eyes then get hidden behind his smile, "I'm just glad you made me do that business course with you, Lang Incorporated. would have crashed and burned if you hadn't," he chuckles

"You're running the company?" I say surprised 

He chuckles, radiating his usual positive vibes, "Yeah- but don't worry, I'm doing anything that would make your parents roll around in their graves!" He ends in a serious tone

"Oh don't worry they've already rolled themselves deeper into the ground when I left," I laugh a little, "But G that's amazing! I'm happy for you,"

"Thanks, you know I felt the same way you did about the stuff the family did but... I don't know running the company made it all balance," He explains to me, a faint smile playing on his lips.
