Olivia was sitting at her desk finalizing some paper work before she called it a night when she heard a knock at her door.

"Open!" she said without looking up. She heard the door open and close as she was finishing the last page to her file. When she looked up she was a little surprised to see Rafael in her office. He has been there many times before but she wasn't aware that he was coming in the office today. "Something wrong with a case I gave you?"

"Just wanted to go over some details" he smiled at her.

She rolled her eyes and just wanted to go home to Noah but it must have been important or he wouldn't be here "how about we share a cab to my place order delivery and work it out after I put Noah to bed"

"I'll call a cab and meet you down stairs?"

"Yeah I just need to grab my coat and put this file away" he walked out the door and she started to pack up. When she met him down stairs the cab just pulled up. Rafael opened the door for her and let her in first. She gave the driver her address as he entered the cab and closed the door.

He then looked at her and asked "So what's good near your place?"

Shortly after they arrived to Olivia's their delivery showed up. Olivia fed Noah and they went over their most recent case. Rafael brought up a few concerns that Olivia made note of to take care of tomorrow. They continued to talk about work while playing with Noah. Rafael is still a little awkward when it comes to playing but now he can hold Noah like a child instead of a stray cat.

Noah was starting to yawn so Olivia scooped him up. "I'm going to put him to bed. You're welcome to stay if you want it won't be long"

"Sure I'll just grab something to drink as I wait you want anything?"

"Whatever you grab is fine with me"

A few minutes later Olivia came out side and Rafael was on the couch channel surfing sipping on a glass of scotch and a second glass was sitting on the coffee table.

"Anything good on?" She grabbed her glass and sat down next to him kicking off her shoes and letting her hair down.

"Nah just a bunch of reruns or games I don't watch" he smirked and looked over at her "got any movies?"

"If you like G rated movies" she laughed "we could play a game"

"Hm I'm intrigued. What game?"

"Never have I ever? I haven't played in a while but it's still fun to play every now and then."

"Well alright let's play!" He turned to face her and held up 10 fingers.

Oliva just laughed got up and grabbed the bottle of scotch and a deck of cards "oh no we won't be playing that way." She put the card on the table and filled their drinks. "We lift the card and read them. If you have done it you take a drink. First one to finish their glass loses."

"I like this twist! To be honest I haven't played since college." He picked up the first card and laughed "well I'll be needing to take a drink! Never have I ever been in hand cuffs"

"Really!" Olivia took a drink "before you ask I was framed for a murder a few years ago. What about you?"

"Breaking and entering. A few of my buddies wanted to go for a midnight swim. Charges weren't filed but I still suffered the uncomfortable ride to the station in cuffs"

"Was it worth it?" She was trying hard not to laugh.

"Absolutely" he winked at her "your turn."

Olivia reaches over and grabs a card "never have I ever kissed in the rain" she looks at Rafael and he holds his drink. Their eyes locked on each other neither of them drank. "Well then your turn I see. Guess neither of us have had that kiss" she looked down and slightly bit her lip.

They continued to play until both their drinks were done, with a few refills in between the game. As they were calming down their laughter Olivia looked at the clock hanging in her living room. "Well look at the time! I didn't realize we were having so much fun!"

Rafael looks over "it's only 11 Liv going to be so soon?" He poked fun at her.

"No but the last time I check the clock it was 8:30 and Noah had just fallen asleep, and" she lifted the empty bottle of scotch "we finished my half-filled bottle of scotch" she laughed a little more and found herself locking her eyes with Rafael. She felt her face flush and resisted the urge to bite her lip. He was an attractive man but she could never pursue it was probably just the scotch that was making them a little friendlier than normal, still something was pulling her closer to him. She was inches from his face when Noah started to cry. They pulled apart and she stood up.

"I have to go take care of him" she looked down to hide her burning face. When she looked back up he was putting his jacket on. "See you tomorrow?" not a word was said so she cleared her throat. "At work?"

"Uh yeah I'll see you tomorrow" and before she could say anything more he was out the door.

As Noah started to calm down she sat in a rocking chair to sooth him back to sleep. She could not stop thinking about that moment. Did I really almost kiss him? Sure he is attractive but I could never be with a man like Rafael. He isn't even that comfortable around Noah. Never mind that we work together. Still… there is something about him…

Rafael – after he left

"Oh come on!" as yet another cab driver passed him. He brushed his hands over his face and took a deep breath. "What were you even thinking? Kissing her! You work with her! This is the definition of Conflict of interest."

A cab finally pulled up and he got in. He took another deep breath how the hell am I going to play this off? Hope we act like nothing happ- almost happened? Do I apologize and blame it on the scotch? You fool. Though she did lean in. maybe she feels the same way? Doubtful.
