Chapter 1: The Beginning
Olivia looked out her window and watched as the snow drifted past her window. Her apartment was cozy but lonely. The wood floor had some used shirts and jeans thrown across it. In the background the news from her TV was on low.
It had been a few days since Olivia had seen her. At this point she didn't know what was worse.. seeing her and getting her nerves tied up in a million knots.. Or not seeing her and thinking about her all day and night.
She's known the ADA for years now, but as time went on it only seemed to get harder. Olivia had fallen in love with the ADA, but she subconsciously covered her love with lust. And there was plenty of lust to push the love into the closet. By pushing aside those feelings.. It kept Olivia safe. It kept her from never feeling vulnerable. It kept her good at her job.
But sometimes.. sometimes the lust became too much and it DID effect her job. But not just her job, it effected her mind and her overall sanity. Wanting Alex for so long, but never having her had finally taken a toll on Olivia. It had been years since Olivia had sex. And the way Alex acted around Olivia only made Olivia wonder if Alex felt the same way.
But lately, Olivia didn't have to do much wondering. Her & Alex had been getting on one another's nerves. Alex had gone out to dinner with Trevor Langdon, which threw the signs Olivia thought she was getting from Alex all over the place. And Alex seemed less open and more frigid with Olivia ever since Olivia's friend Serena Southerlyn came and visited the precinct.
Olivia sat glaring out her apartment window sipping her luke warm coffee thinking about Alex and the confusion between the two of them. For months, it was the longer glares during court, the lingers at the precinct during meetings with the crew, and the subtle comments and texts. But then she sees her on a date with a man? It threw Olivia one hell of a curve ball. And for the past 3 weeks the two of them have seen less of one another and the encounters have been colder and shorter.
'Ding Ding' her phone went off. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw it was from Alex.
Alex
Im getting the warrant for his penthouse, meet me there
She took in a deep breath and replied. "Ok."
Their texts had gone from flirty and fun to short and stern ever since their "dates" encounters.
Olivia tied her red scarf around her neck, sprayed her perfume on herself and straightened out her black pants. Her dark brown boots were a bit salty from the NY sidewalks but she didn't care. She'd been on vacation for the past week and was doing Alex a favor since the rest of the percent was swamped.
"Here goes," she mumbled to herself as she left her apartment.
