Chapter 1- My car broke down.

Olivia's POV

It was just like any other Wednesday in Manhattan although it was surprisingly slow for them. So as I am walking out to my car and I feel my phone vibrate I'm really hoping it's not Elliot texting to come back up because we caught a case. I pull it out of my pocket and see who it is and there is a text from the one and only, Alexandra Cabot, and so that made me smile. Anyone who knows me knows that I have the biggest crush on the blonde haired ADA. She was asking if I was free for the afternoon and to call her. So I click on her contact and hit the call button.

RINGGGGG….

She hears the line click and a kind voice say "Hey Liv?'

"Hey Al you texted to see if I was busy and to call so here I am calling to tell you I am not busy. In case there is anything you need"

"Well if it's not an inconvenience if you could stop by because my car broke down and I know that's one of your specialty if you can make it. I'll even treat you to your favorite take out and we can sit on my couch and chat for helping me. If not I can call a mechanic?'

"No it's no inconvenience I'm actually just walking to my car so I'll head over there. And I would love to sit on the couch and chat as you so eloquently put it."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I'm sure. I'll be there in 5."

"Ok thanks Liv I really appreciate it."

"I'll always help you Al."

"I know and I thank you for that, see you in 5 minutes detective"

And then the line went dead.

Alex POV

I just got off the phone with Olivia Benson who I have been pining away from afar since the first time I met her. She has become my best friend over the years and I'm hoping that she likes me more than that but all I can do is drop little hints. I remember a conversation we had a while ago where she told me that her biological father had raped her mother one night after college walking back to her dorm from the library. She was hit over the head which in turn knocked her unconscious and when she came to, there was a man on top of her, raping her. She didn't see his face. But then next day she stayed in her dorm all day. And she was scared because she had a feeling that she was pregnant with her rapist baby. And unfortunately she was right and nine months later little baby Benson was born. While Olivia was growing up she was abused by her mother physically. Every once and a while her mom was sober and because she couldn't remember what she had done all she knew was there were bruises on her daughters stomach and cuts down the back of her head, neck, and upper back. And she was verbally abused getting told all she was a mistake but no matter what happened Olivia would always help her mom. Carry her to her room at night and put a glass of water and to Tylenol next to it for when she woke up. She would clean out the basin that her mother would throw up in. She took care of her mother no matter what. And when she found out how she was conceived she has been scared of being in love because she doesn't want to turn into her father. But no matter how hard I tried to tell her that she doesn't have one bone in her body she doesn't want to believe me. And it's not like I can say I'm in love with you and I know you wouldn't ever hurt me but I can't.

My heart starts racing when I hear a knock and the door opening and coming through the door is one handsome smiling detective. Standing there with her leather jacket and a button up on. God she looks so hot. I wish she would pick me up and lay me down on the bed and make love to me. Stop it Alex you need to get your mind out of the gutter jump back in reality.

"Hey Liv thanks for coming."

I wishing I was coming. She clears her throat "Umm yeah I love coming over here."

"Well 'm glad the Cabot residence is appreciated by my best friend."

"Casa de Cabot should feel much appreciated."

"It does. So if you shall follow me to the garage and come look at the car'"

"Yes. Let's go to see the car."

She follows me out into my garage and I tell her that her tools from last time are where she left them. She replies then I'll get to it.

I go back into my house and get a beer for her and a glass of wine for me. Then I make my way out to the garage. As I cross through the threshold I stop in my tracks because she has taken off her jacket and her button up and just standing there in just her wife beater and my mouth is suddenly dry all the moisture heads south. I continue my way to where she is standing. She turns to see what I was there for and I could see the sweat dripping from her short hair and down her face. She looks me in the eyes and for a moment I could have sworn I saw her pupils dilating and a flash of desire. Maybe she does feel the same way.

I hand her the beer and I said "Sorry grabbing a bottle opener slipped my mind. I'm sorry."

"It's ok I can twist it off its actually not that hard."

"Oh ok."

She puts her hand on the cap and as she twisted it I could see the muscles flexing in her forearms and biceps. I then hear a pop and that brings me out of my daze. She turns towards me again and says "I figured out the problem it was a leaking gas pipe which in turn caused complications to the engine. But I fixed it I just need to pick up the tools and close the hood."

"Ok thank you. When you are all done you know your way around my house. You'll find me in the living room."

"Yes ma'm." She says it with a smile because she knows I don't like to be called ma'm.

So I make my way back into my house and pour myself another glass of wine and the takeout menus from the draw. And go sit on my couch and I decide I'm going to put in a horror movie so I can scream into her arm and have her hold me during the movie. I hear the door open and is making her way to the couch.

"Hey what are we watching?"

"A horror movie."

I see her smile.
