Bon Matin, Mon Cheri!

Alex didn't sleep well that night. She gave up on the idea of sleep and got up to start making coffee and to iron her clothes. Joshua was already up, sitting at the kitchen table. She stopped when she saw the look on his face.
"Good morning to you. What's wrong?" Alex walked towards the coffee maker and started hunting for the filters.
"Are you kidding? Your wacky partner shows up spouting out gibberish at three in the morning and you expect me to be in a good mood?" Joshua got up and reached over Alex's head to where the coffee filters were and threw the box at her.
Alex kept herself from doing something really stupid, like kill him. "I think it's about time you left."
Joshua looked at the clock. "I don't have to be at work for –"
"No, I don't think you understood. I want you out of my apartment. For good." Alex stood her ground and stared him down.
"Fine. Go be with that asshole partner of yours. Have a great fucking day." He stomped into Alex's room, packed up what little possessions he'd kept over there, and left. Not even a second glance. Alex wondered why she didn't feel more saddened by this. She remembered what Bobby had done that night. A little shiver went through her. She had to call Carolyn. Two could play at this game.
One Police Plaza…
"Are you sure you got it?" Carolyn was on the phone with Alex, who was hiding out with Olivia Benson on SVU's floor. She listened to Alex, heard Olivia giggling. "Good enough. Are you sure he doesn't speak French? Do you remember at all what he said in German? Fine, see you in a bit." Carolyn hung up the phone, looking over at Bobby. She smiled.
"Why are you so smiley and why is Alex down on the sex crimes floor?" Mike just arrived, settling down at his desk, Danish in hand.
"You'll see and she and Olivia are friends." Carolyn saw Alex get off the elevator.
Alex walked over to Bobby, putting her hands on Bobby's desk, not sitting down. "I've got something to say to you as well." Bobby looked up at her, amused and slightly terrified that she figured him out.
"Re-what?" Bobby asked cautiously. She wasn't smiling. She was going to hit him. No, she said she had something to say. But she could still hit him.
Alex stood up straight, hazarding a glance at Carolyn who nodded her encouragement. "Tu as mon coeur maintenant." She smiled at him and sat down at her desk. Carolyn hurriedly called her extension.
"Great pronunciation," Carolyn whispered. She hung up and got back to her work. Mike was looking back and forth between Carolyn and Alex.
"Okay what the hell was that?" Mike threw his hands up in the air. Everyone in the bullpen stared at him. Every one except Bobby. He was too busy staring at Alex.
A/N: A lot of people expressed some desire in having Alex respond to Bobby. Y'all got your wish. R&R and thank you!
Alex said "You have my heart now."
