Secret Rendezvous
Hello all! Back with a quick lil' something that was in my head! This one has two parts. - M
"Who's idea were the tequila shots?" Casey winced, her world slightly spinning.
Amanda laughed heartily at her new friend.
"Oh come on councilor, a couple of tequila shots never hurt anyone!" Amanda teased.
Casey looked at Amanda and then to Olivia and Alex.
"Says the woman who showed up late. Can I get another for the little blonde over here!" Casey said holding up an empty shot glass.
"Hey, hey I'm catching this weekend!" Amanda protested.
"And I am NOT!" Olivia said holding up her beer bottle saluting.
Alex leaned back in her chair, a grin on her face as she watched Olivia laugh at Casey and Amanda sparring.
"Alex what are you so quiet for tonight?" Casey prodded.
"I'm not quiet, I'm chill."
"Chill? Alex Cabot is chill?" Casey asked amused.
"Yes I'm chill. I'm happy to be here with you ladies, I'm happy to not be working, I'm chill."
Alex looked at Olivia who was grinning.
"What?"
"Nothing. I'm glad you're "chill", I like you relaxed."
"It could be the tequila too." Alex said with a snicker.
Olivia laughed out loud.
"So Liv how's Cassidy?" Casey asked intrigued, one eyebrow pushed high on her forehead.
"Yeah I feel like I need a little more background info on you and Cassidy." Amanda said speaking up.
"There's nothing to tell," Olivia said nonchalantly.
Amanda rolled her eyes at Casey.
"Amanda, Liv is infamous for her secret rendezvous."
Now it was Olivia's turn to roll her eyes to Casey before looking over to Alex, giving her a small smirk.
Alex only grinned shaking her head.
"Liv slept with Cassidy when they were both rookie detectives, and let's see there was the Leger guy you kept a secret and oh yes David Haden! And what was up with the FBI guy… Porter? Stabler was so jealous of Porter!" Casey said relaying all to Amanda.
"Elliot was not! And why is my love life the topic of conversation tonight?"
"Because its obviously juicy and secretive!" Amanda joked.
Olivia looked at Alex for help.
Alex shifted in her chair, shrugging to Olivia, "Well your love life is kind of interesting."
"Alex!"
Alex laughed, pleased with her dig.
"You guys are the worst!" Olivia said defeated.
"We are!" Casey laughed, "Now spill about Cassidy!"
"I told you there's nothing to tell, we're on and off… neither of us want a commitment from each other. It is what it is."
"Sex," Casey confirmed.
"Yes… sex." Olivia said shaking her head.
"Well I have to be honest I'm jealous. I could use a little sex at this point, especially with no commitment." Amanda said before taking another sip of her beer.
"Amen sister!" Casey said clinking her glass with Amanda's. "And what about you Alex, you're mighty quiet in this conversation. "You "chill" about sex too?" Casey teased.
Both Olivia and Amanda couldn't help but laugh.
Alex took a sip of her vodka tonic, "I'm satisfied" was all she divulged.
"Oh so you're holding out on information too. You taking notes on secret rendezvous from Liv?"
Alex didn't look up from her drink, only stirring it with her straw.
"Yeah… I must be."
"Very sneaky Cabot." Amanda said before reaching for her coat. "Alright girls I have to get some sleep before my phone rings in the middle of the night." Amanda stood from the table, "you all get home safe."
The women said their goodbyes to Amanda.
"I should get home too, it's been a long day." Alex said stirring from her chair. "My bed is calling my name."
"Yeah, I think I've had enough tequila for one night." Casey said following Alex's lead.
They all paid their tabs and made their way out on to the street to say their goodbyes.
Alex caught a cab first.
She gave the cab driver the address to her Upper West Side apartment as she turned to wave goodbye to the two women left standing on the sidewalk.
Casey and Olivia talked for a few more minutes.
"Sorry for ribbing you on the love life, but yours is far more interesting than the rest of ours."
"Yeah, yeah I can take it." Olivia said with a grin as she hugged Casey goodbye. "Hope to see you again soon. I'll call you for dinner…" Olivia said as she insisted Casey take the next cab. "Sounds good." Casey said before a last goodbye and getting in the cab.
Olivia made her way to the curb to hail the next cab.
She stuffed her hands into her coat pockets as she recited the address she knew now by heart.
She looked out the window of the cab, a slight grin appearing on her face.
Maybe her love life was a slightly more interesting.
She headed up town, she wouldn't sleep in her own bed tonight.
