Those two didn't belong together. They were both stubborn, strong willed, and worked with each other. Elliot was recently divorced and needed to find himself someone that he could love, who of course would love him back. Alexandra was known as the hard-assed, know-it-all, blonde bombshell. She knew all, was all, and had all, or did she?

Every time Miss Cabot walked through the doors to the squad room of the one-six, she turned heads, but mostly Elliot's. She would also get the occasional look from Olivia, but she couldn't tell what those looks meant, quite yet.

The squad was working on an extremely hard rape case, which they finally had closed.

"Guilty on all counts," Alex smirked as the words rolled off of her tongue.

There were smiles all around the squad room, as they decided to go out for a couple drinks to celebrate.

Round one, two, and three were done and Fin and Munch decided to head out. About ten minutes later Cragen and Olivia decided to call it a night as well, leaving Elliot and Alex there alone.

"Hey Alex, you did great in court today!"

"Thanks El, it was a tough case."

"Yeah, but you are the best! Hey let's get out of here."

"Ok, let me grab my coat."

"Want me to get you a cab Alex?"

"No I am not far, but do you want to walk me to my apartment?"

"Sounds good to me."

As they got to her apartment, she asked Elliot to come inside.

Elliot's thoughts were racing! He couldn't believe this beautiful ADA asking him to come inside. It was a different side of Alex that nobody has seen. She was perfect in every way, why would she want him?

Elliot stepped inside as Alex showed him to the living room.

"Stay here El, I need to get changed."

"Yes ma'am," he replied.

About five minutes later, Alex appeared wearing a sexy tight t shirt and some short shorts. Elliot was shocked.

""Never in a million years would I think that you would own normal clothing haha." Elliot laughed.

"Shut up!" She smiled and sat down next to him.

"Hey, Elliot?"

"Yes?"

"What do you think about Olivia?"

"She is my partner, my best friend, my confidant."

"Have you and Olivia ever been involved?"

"Ha. Never! Olivia isn't…well she isn't my type."

"Oh are you coming out to me El?"

"I am not the gay one in the one six ok!"

"Huh?"

"Olivia."

At that moment, Alex realized what the looks that Olivia gave her were. They were looks of passion, and attraction.

"I graduated top of my class at Harvard and I didn't even know that one."

"That's why I am the detective and you are the lawyer."

"True."

"Hey Alex, it is getting late, I need to get home."

"Alright El, see you Monday."

"Bye."

Alex couldn't sleep. It was almost two in the morning. She reached for her phone and went to text Olivia, but decided against it since she figured Olivia needed her sleep. Alex rolled over and went to bed.

The next morning at six, Alex picked up her cell phone and texted Olivia.

"Wanna get breakfast? My treat."

Those two minutes that it took Olivia to reply felt like an hour to Alex.

"Sure corner of 97th and Broadway. Twenty minutes. See you soon."

Alex was so nervous to see Olivia because the feelings that were deep inside Alex. Alex wanted more with Olivia then what she was getting and now that Elliot told her that Olivia was gay, she was planning on doing anything to get her.

They sat down and had their breakfast, making small talk until the waiter brought over the check. They argued over who would pay, but Alex always gets what she wants and she paid and they were off for a stroll through Central Park.

"Alex just make your move! Do it NOW!" Alex thought to herself.

"Hey Liv?"

"Yup?"

"What do you think about the idea--- of the insanity defense they are using?"

Damnit Alex! Just ask her!

"Well I think that they are going to find out that it is a bogus defense."

"Hey Liv?"

"Yup Alex?"

"What do you think of me?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I like you, really like you, but you probably don't feel the same."

Before Alex could finish her sentence, Olivia grabbed Alex's hand and said, "Well, Counselor if you were talking about you as the defense you mentioned earlier, than you aren't crazy, you just take a while to catch on."

Alex knew and definitely knew that those looks were for her and only for her. They meant that Olivia was interested.
