Steve thought his life was crazy before. Now that his childhood best friend Maddie is back in his life, will all the pieces of the puzzle fall into place? Will he solve the toughest & most personal case he & Five-O have ever had? Will he succeed bef...
****AUTHOR'S NOTE: The songs Maddie sings in this chapter are all real songs that exist. I did not write any of them. Three are by Sara Bareilles and one is by Miley Cyrus. I thought lyrically they worked for the story. You guys should listen to them while you read the chapter, so you get a feel for the song. Plus they are just great songs!
The songs are as follows:
1. "Safe Place To Land" (ft. John Legend) - Sara Bareilles (*in this chapter I wrote it not as a duet*)
2. "Let the Rain" - Sara Bareilles
3. "Wonder Woman" - Miley Cyrus
4. "Not Alone" - Sara Bareilles

Maddie had to join everyone as soon as possible. If she didn't, she would probably make an ass of herself and hit on Steve. Plus, he was confusing her with his sudden flirting. Aside from needing to protect herself, and him, she loved it. Loved the way he'd look at her as he flashed a sexy smile. She loved the way he kissed her on the nose and forehead, his lips lingering. She loved the feel of his hands on her, always firm, but gentle, as if she was a priceless object he would do anything to protect and keep safe. And although she would never admit it, she loved the way he worried about her. Not so much that he did, that actually drove her a bit crazy, but that it meant he cared about her. She knew that if he ever stopped worrying it would mean he didn't care what happened to her. So, yes, she loved that he was flirty and touchy feely all of a sudden, but she refused to let herself think about it or get wrapped up in it.

Steve was walking a bit behind her as they returned to the party. While he went into the kitchen, Maddie veered left, walking through the living room to a white, custom, Steinway grand piano. It stood in the center of a circle off the living room. The outer part of the circle had floor to ceiling glass that looked out to the patio and backyard. Maddie walked to the right side of the circle and opened a latch where the glass met the wall. What she loved about this design was that the piano could be played to people inside the house or to people out on the patio.
Slowly she pushed at the opened glass and it began to slide open, disappearing in the wall on the other side. Maddie looked out at everyone. Her band was setting up for an acoustic set while everyone else was congregated near the huge circular fire pit straight ahead. She loved the fire pit. She'd designed it so you would step down into giving it a more intimate and cozier feel.
