"Good evening detective" said a tired ADA as she came and sat down on Detective Benson's desk.
"Well you're here late counselor."
"I could say the same for you."
"Yeah well just burning the midnight oil again" replied Olivia leaning back in her chair.
"How do you feel about going out and getting some drinks with me?" asked Alex.
Olivia quite shocked considering the women she'd liked ever since she met her just asked her to go get drinks. Alex had never made any attempt to have any social relations outside of work with Olivia. Although she was quite surprised Olivia decided to have a little fun with the ADA.
"Are you asking me out on a date counselor?"
"Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not. Depends what would you say if I were?" asked Alex. Olivia had been leaning back with her feet on her desk. After she'd heard Alex say this she accidently leaned back so far that she fell over. Causing the ADA burst out with laughter at the detectives shocked expression as she scrambled to pick herself and the chair up.
"Do take that as a no?" asked the ADA.
"No…no…you can take that as a yes" Olivia babbled.
"Good so I think we should go back to my place for drinks you have five minutes detective" replied Alex turning and walking back out through the doors she had come in not five minutes ago.
"What the hell just happened?" Olivia asked herself.
Alex had hailed a cab and was waiting for Olivia down stairs. "It's about time you got here detective" Alex said as she opened the cab door for the detective, "Ladies first."
"Thank you Alex."
"No problem Liv" she said as she climbed in after Olivia. She gave the driver her address and turned her attention back to the brunette next to her. Olivia was studying her trying to figure her out but by the look on her face she was having no luck.
"Is there something you want detective?"
"I was just wondering why you asked me to get drinks with you was all. You never showed any interest before."
"Yeah well if anything this last case thought me that you can't wait for life because life doesn't wait for you. So I decided to go out on a limb and take a chance even though I'm probably just making an ass out of myself."
Olivia smiled, "Did the prim and proper ADA Alexandra Cabot just use the word 'ass'. Well I'll be darn she is human after all."
"Oh shut up" Alex said rolling her eyes.
"And by the way Alex you're not making an 'ass' out of yourself as you so properly put. You just caught me off guard it's not like you ever showed any sign of wanting to hang around with me before."
"Well that's not the part that I was going to make an ass out of myself on. It's when I tell you that I want to do more than just hangout with you."
Olivia was surprised to say the least but caught herself when she saw how vulnerable Alex looked. It probably took a lot for the big bad ADA to tell her that. Olivia cupped Alex's face in her hands and lifted her chin so they were making eye contact. "Well then I would say I'd be more than happy to do more than just hangout." Olivia said before she captured Alex's lips in a kiss. Their first kiss was short and sweet the only reason it didn't get more passionate was because their cab driver started coughing in an attempt to draw their attention to the fact they'd arrived at their destination. Alex paid him and she got out holding the door open for Olivia.
The bellhop opened the door and greeted Alex and her guest giving Alex a wink and a thumbs-up. The elevator ride was short but felt like forever for Alex. They got to her apartment and Alex opened the door. Liv gestured for Alex to lead the way. Alex walked in turning on the lights and putting her keys in a bowl on a small table beside the door.
Alex walked into the kitchen asking Olivia what she'd be having. "Whatever you're drinking is fine with me Counselor" called Olivia taking in Alex's living room.
Alex's apartment was a shade of light yellow and looked just like she'd pictured it. Alex had a flat screen mounted to the far wall, a coffee table with People Magazine and Time Magazine lay out nice and neatly in just the right order, and Alex had a couple paintings hung on the wall but nothing rather personal. For anyone that didn't know that Alex was a perfectionist they would probably have guessed the person this room belonged to was OCD. Everything had its place and nothing was out of order. Olivia could understand why with being in the court all day everything uncertain in their world things can change in a minute, new evidence can pop up out of the blue and can ruin a case. That's probably why everything in this room was perfect a life full of uncertainty, but with the little things something's were always certain.
"What do you think?" Alex asked as she walked in with two glasses of red wine.
Olivia accepted the glass Alex handed to her, "It suits you well counselor."
"Well are you just going to stand around all evening or are you going to sit down?"
"Is that how Ivy Leaguers ask someone if they'd like to sit down?"
"Yes actually it is now please have a seat so I can be the nice host and sit down to." Olivia laughed and took a seat on the couch leaving enough room for Alex to plop down beside her.
"Great these heels are killing me." Alex said taking off her heels and began to massage her feet.
"Here allow me" Liv said a she scooted further away from Alex and patted her lap. Alex just quirked an eyebrow out her in which Olivia just sighed and lifted up one of Alex's feet allowing her to reposition herself comfortably before starting on her massage of Alex's foot.
"Oh that feels good Liv."
"Yeah I know I'm pretty good" Olivia said.
"I bet you are" Alex said catching on to the sexual connotation linked to Olivia statement.
Olivia stopped massaging Alex foot, "Alex I need to know something. What are you looking for out of this? Is this just going to be an oneshot deal that makes work uncomfortable for a couple months while we just don't talk because I don't think I can do that. I've liked you for a long time and want more."
"Liv I want a relationship with you and if that means you want to wait then that's ok with me."
"I just don't want this to be a casual fling so I want to take it slow for a bit. How about I take you on a date this weekend and if I still can resist you then we'll know this isn't going to work because Alex I really want you but I just feel it wouldn't mean as much for you. I've dreamt about doing things with you for a long time this seems like a spur of the moment thing for you. Why don't you give it a couple days and we'll see if you still want me?"
"I've wanted you for a long time but I will wait if you want us to." Alex said as she pulled her foot to sit back up.
"Well it's far too late to send you home. It looks like your just going to have to spend tonight here." Alex said as she stood up and went to get ready for bed leaving a very shocked Olivia in her wake.
"Well it's far too late to send you home. It looks like your just going to have to spend tonight here." Alex said as she stood up and went to get ready for bed leaving a very shocked Olivia in her wake.
Olivia watched as Alex walked out of the room. "Wait Alex…" Olivia said as she hurried after her friend. She found Alex in her room changing her shirt. "Oh umm….uhh…sorry Alex" she said spinning around blushing.
Alex fought back the urge to laugh. She pulled on her night shirt and turned to the detective. "I'm descent now detective."
"Sorry Alex I should've knocked." Olivia was clearly embarrassed.
"Really come on were both women."
"Yeah but you're a women I just so happen to like and well we agreed to take it slow. That does not include me seeing you with your shirt off!" Olivia said exasperated but Alex just smirked at her. Clearly she was enjoying how flustered she could make the detective.
"Come on Alex! You keep pushing me like this and I won't be able to take it slow!"
"Hmmm…maybe that's the point." Alex said turning around to go get her night shorts. "Really you're the detective Liv figure it out."
She got the night shorts from her closet and turned back to the brunette, "So are you going to let me change in my room or are you going to make me go in the bathroom because your afraid you won't be able to control yourself?"
"No of course not. I wouldn't make you change in the bathroom. After all this is your room. I'll just step into the hallway while you finish changing." Before Alex could protest Liv stepped into her hallway. The older woman was not going to let Alex get the upper hand. After a couple moments Alex called her in saying, "I'm descent now detective. Gosh Liv you don't have to be such a prude."
Liv couldn't help but stare. Alex had change into a very skimpy nightgown instead of her original night shirt. Live quickly regained her composure, "I'm not a prude counselor I just don't believe in sleeping with a woman whom I haven't even had a date with."
Alex just put her hands on her hips, "Really Liv come on we've known one another for quite sometime. Just think of the last couple years as one big date so there is nothing wrong with it."
"Come on Lex this is hard enough. I just want to take you out one proper date before I jump into bed with you. I don't want this to be some causal fling you regret in the morning. Damn it Alex I've liked you far to long and I want to do this right."
"Fine Liv, I give have it your way," Alex said raising her hands to signal surrender, "So since your staying the night your going to have to barrow some of my clothes. And considering that I'm obviously not getting any tonight it looks like I'm going to have to change as well."
"Thanks Alex."
"Sure Liv if you really want that. Then it looks like I'm just going to have to wait. Can I ask you something?"
"Sure fire away counselor!" Olivia said plopping down on Alex's bed.
"Well if I promise to be good can we sleep in the same bed?"
"Are you sure you can handle that? I mean I'd love to but are you sure?"
"Yeah I'm sure I can handle myself it's just you I'm worried about." Alex said before she returned to her closet finding a pair of boxer shorts and an old college shirt. "Will these work?"
"Those will be just fine thanks counselor."
"Good, you can change in the bathroom if you want."
"Oh no you got to tease me. Don't think your going to get off so easily. I thought you could handle yourself unlike me. Don't be such a prude Lex. After all were both women."
"Well Olivia Benson, are you using my own words against me?"
"Well you're the lawyer you tell me."
"You missed your calling detective. You could have been a great lawyer."
Liv couldn't help but laugh at the thought of her being a lawyer. She loved being a cop too much to ever do anything else. Liv just shook her head at the thought and took off her shirt changing into Alex's old college shirt. It was too big but that was ok she preferred it that way. She turned to see the ADA gawking at her.
"You know it's rude to stare Miss Cabot" she said before she turned around and wiggled out of her jeans. She made sure to put just enough wiggle in her hips when pulling off her jeans so as to her ass shake slightly, but just enough to cause Alex's eyes to bug out of her head. "Why Miss Benson if I didn't know any better I'd say you were doing that on purpose."
"Why what ever do you mean counselor?" trying her best to look innocent but was failing miserably.
"Liv come on you know you wiggled out of your jeans just to get me to stare at your ass. And for gods sake if you refuse to do anything tonight then stop standing there in your underwear and put on the shorts." said frustrated as she muttered to herself.
"Come on Lex a little taste of your own medicine won't kill you."
"Liv just put on your shorts before I have to put them on for you."
"Hmmmm…I don't think I will. Your face is just too priceless right now to put on shorts just to have it go away."
"Ok Liv but don't say I didn't warn you. I will put those shorts on you myself if I have to."
"Oh I'd like to see you try!" replied Liv seeing just how far she could push Alex. Olivia had the upper hand now and wasn't going to give up without teasing Alex a little bit more.
"Ok Liv but don't say I didn't warn you. I will put those shorts on you myself if I have to."
"Oh I'd like to see you try!" replied Liv seeing just how far she could push Alex. Olivia had the upper hand now and wasn't going to give up without teasing Alex a little bit more.
Olivia had tossed Alex her boxers challenging her to just try to put them on her. Alex knew Olivia thought she had the upper hand but wouldn't for long. She picked up the detective's boxers that lie at her feet. "You think I won't?"
"Oh I know you won't," the brunette said smirking at the ADA.
"Oh we'll just see about that detective," Alex said as she walked seductively over to the bed. She leaned down to where her lips were just over Olivia's and whispered, "Remember you asked for this Liv." She pressed her lips to Olivia's. The detective couldn't wait any longer. The feeling of Alex's lips against hers was like heaven. The brunette pulled the ADA down so she was lying on top of her. Olivia's gentle bit at Alex's bottom lip much to the blonde's surprise. The older woman used this to her advantage as Alex open her mouth to moan the brunette's tongue entered her mouth.
The detective was usual more aware, but didn't notice when Alex started to edge her boxers up her legs. She barely noticed when one of Alex's hands pulled her boxers up. She was to busy focusing on Alex's other hand which was slowly massaging her breast through the fabric. As soon as the boxers were all the way up the ADA pulled back smirking, "Remember detective this is what you asked for."
"Lex that's so unfair," Liv said trying to pull Alex into another kiss. Unfortunately the blonde wouldn't budge.
"Oh no miss 'I want to take you on a date and do this right.' You want to get into my shorts now your going to have to take me on a date."
"Alex I will but please I want you."
"No Liv, you wanted to wait, we're wait. Now I'm going to use the bathroom down the hall to brush my teeth. You're going to do the same in my bathroom and then we'll go to sleep." Alex got up off of Olivia. The older woman groaned at the loss of contact. She didn't know her words were going to come back and bit her. Well at least not so soon.
Teeth Brushing Later
"Are you ready to go to bed Liv?"
"No but you won't go for what I want to do so we might as well go to bed," Liv huffed climbing into her side of the bed.
Alex turned out the lights and both women just laid there not really sure what to do. Until Liv finally spoke turning to Alex, "Lex just to let you know I a cuddlier so if you wake up with me wrapped around you don't be surprised. I'm just giving you a heads up."
"I don't mind you holding me Liv; as long as that's all you do. I'd hate to call the SVU squad on you just because you get a little to frisky. I hear they have this really tuff female cop working there."
"Well she's not the one I'd have to worry about. There's this ADA that they call the 'Ice Queen.' She's a real bad ass or at least so I hear. Although I think I'd have to see for myself."
"I've heard that to, but apparently the way she is in the court room is nothing compared to how said detective is in bed."
"I don't know the 'Ice Queen' well I'm not exactly sure where she got the name. She's pretty tuff in court but I think the name stems from the bedroom. Care to prove me wrong Alex?"
"I'd love to prove many things to you Liv, but it's rather late and I'm tired. So it's going to have to wait until that date you promised me," Alex said smiling at Olivia in the dark. "Although I wouldn't mind you holding me tonight, before we fall asleep."
"Well I guess I could do that, as long as you go on a date with me tomorrow."
"Well I may already have plans with my girlfriend. I'll have to check my schedule."
"Oh come on Alex…"
"Yes Liv, I'd love to go out with you. Now are you going to hold me or not."
"Jeez…Lex, look who's the bossy one in the bedroom," the brunette said joking. This earned her a playful slap on the arm from the younger woman in her arms. "Goodnight Alex."
"Goodnight Liv."
Weekend
The weekend couldn't come fast enough for Liv. She hadn't slept well since she'd sent that night in Alex's bed. Her only consolation was that Alex seemed to be just a tired and cranky as she was.
Finally when the weekend rolled around Liv was on edge. She'd been so on edge that Cragen had told her to go home early. She'd protested but finally agreed. After another cruddy night's sleep Saturday arrived. She'd gone on her run early in the morning. Later she'd watched some TV because she had nothing else to do. She'd already gotten reservations for herself and Alex at a friends' restaurant. Finally the clock chimed eight meaning that she should start heading over to Alex's apartment. She was supposed to pick the ADA up at eight thirty. She grabbed her things and called a cab. She made it to Alex's apartment with five minutes to spare.
Olivia was nervous. She was taking out ADA Alex Cabot. The woman was so far out of her league that if their leagues were countries Alex would the US and she'd be Australia. They may speak similar languages but they were on opposite sides of the planet. She didn't know how she was supposed to act around someone like that. When she had asked Alex what she wanted to do earlier that week. Alex had said surprise her. That's exactly what Olivia intended to do.
Olivia knocked on Alex door. She could hear Alex's shoes on the hardwood floor of the blonde's apartment. The ADA seemed to be hurrying around the apartment trying to find something. Olivia smiled to herself and waited patiently. Finally Alex came to the door. She looked really good she was wearing a blue cashmere sweater that accented her eyes and a pair of blue jeans. Liv had told her to dress casually. Liv wasn't sure if Alex owned any shoes that weren't heels. Apparently she did because she was wearing a pair of black Converse High-Tops.
Liv was dressed in a similar fashion to her date. She wore her favorite jeans and a black top with a black jacket. She was wearing her favorite red Converse. "You look really good Alex."
"So do you Liv. So where are you taking me on this date?"
"That's a surprise. Are you ready to go?"
"Yep all ready," Alex said she closed her apartment door and locked it. She followed Liv outside. They got a cab that took them to Olivia's friend's restaurant. Liv paid for the cab despite Alex's protests. Liv just told her, "I asked you on this date. That means I pay. Is that clear Miss Cabot?"
Alex just rolled her eyes and sarcastically replied, "Yes ma'am, Detective."
"Good now come on Alex I've got a surprise for you," said Liv getting out of the cab closely followed by Alex. Olivia held the door to the restaurant open for Alex.
Liv quickly spotted her friend when they walked inside. "Hey Max."
"Hey Liv, it's good to see you again. Is this your date? The one you told me about on the phone?"
"She sure is Max. This is my date, Alex Cabot. Alex this is my friend, Max Green."
"Well it's a pleasure to meet you Miss Cabot," said Max shaking the ADA's hand.
"Like wise Max," replied Alex.
"Well let me show you two ladies to your table. Everything's just like you asked Liv," Max said leading the two women to a private room in the back. There was only one table in the room with a single candle on it.
The room was interesting in itself. All over the walls and ceiling had people's names written across it. Once they were seated and Max had left to get the food that Olivia had preordered, Alex asked, "Liv, did you set all this up?"
"Yep I told you I was going to surprise you. Just wait the night's not over yet Cabot."
"Well if the night goes anything like it has so far Benson I may let you come home with me."
Liv feigned shock. "Is ADA Alexandra Cabot suggesting that she would have sex with someone on her first date with them, how shocking?"
"Watch it Liv more comments like that and you'll be sleeping in your own bed alone tonight," jokingly warned Alex.
Ok so it's been awhile since my last update and I'm sorry. I had part of this written for a couple weeks now by didn't know how best to set about writing the date. So I decided to just split the date into a couple chapters with a little less than a week between updates. So I hope you like it. :) I will try to update more frequently but no promises.
