"Questions"
A/N: This story was made after I watched the episode "On Tap". Reviews are very much welcome.
SUMMARY: Alicia wants to talk to Will about the voicemail and what she heard on the tape, but it wasn't that easy. Will she have a chance to confront him and will she ever know the truth?
(Knock on door)
Will: Yeah?
Alicia walks in, nervous. Thinking if what she gonna do is right, but she don't care because she needs to know everything. What she heard on that tape, she wants to know..right now.
"I..uhmm.." she pauses and think
"Do you..." she stopped and thinks a much better question
"I need to ask you a question?"
"Sure"
Alicia should've spoken when Will's toilet door open and a woman came out.
"I hate your toilet towels" Tammy looked surprise to see Alicia. "Oh hey, what's up?" she asked.
Alicia who's more surprised to see Tammy, is thinking "What the hell is she doing here?". She just smiled and shook her head, told herself that this is not the right time.
"Hi"
Tammy smiled back and sat on the couch's arm where Will is sitting and draped her arms around him.
That moment Alicia felt awkward and all she wants that time is to go out of that place.
"I should go"
"I thought you want to ask me something, what is it?"
"Yeah..but.." and she looks at Tammy who's now massaging Will's back.
"I mean it's nothing..maybe some other time."
And she looks at Will and says "There's always some other time" and she smiled.
Will staring at her, confused.
"I should go." and she walks out.
"What's that?" Tammy asked, "Did I interrupt something?"
"No." Will answered but wondering what just happened.
Alicia walked out and shook her head, thinking that it was such a stupid idea to come up to Will's office just to confront him about what she heard on the tape. And much more stupid was the fact that she saw Tammy there. That moment she felt so embarrassed and told herself "You're stupid, Alicia"
Kalinda saw her with a face of someone who lost in a game.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
Alicia who is not in herself that moment didn't respond.
"Alicia…hello"
That's the time when Alicia noticed Kalinda.
"Oh…hey, Kalinda"
"What's wrong?"
"Uhmm..nothing"
"Nothing? Are you sure?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Because it doesn't look like nothing to me"
"Kalinda"
"Alicia, you look…disappointed"
Alicia just looked at her and said "I'm not"
"Yeah, you shouldn't be especially becasue your case has been dropped"
"Yeah, I know."
Kalinda stared at her.
"It's Will, right?"
"What?"
"I saw you walked out in his office"
"It…I..uhmm..it was nothing"
"Really?"
"Yeah"
"I don't believe you"
"Why not?"
"Because when it comes to Will it can't be nothing to you"
Alicia gave her a "you're-wrong-kinda" look
"That's not true"
"Then what is true?"
Alicia didn't answer.
"His girlfriend, right?"
"What?...How did…No."
Kalinda smiled and say, "So, that one is true."
Alicia didn't answer.
"I saw her walked in to Will's office"
"You knew?"
"Yeah"
Alicia wanted to say "Why you didn't tell me?" but she refuses because she realized she didn't have to tell her.
"If I knew that you will visit him, I would've told you"
Alicia smiled and says "It's ok, Kalinda"
"But you're not ok."
"I'm…" she pauses
"I'm fine, Kalinda. Really."
Kalinda knows that she's lying but she knows Alicia, if she wanted to share something she already told her.
"I have to go." Alicia said.
"Ok."
During dinner, Alicia wasn't in herself because she's still thinking about what happened in Will's office. Peter noticed that she's not paying attention to their kids' stories.
"Alicia, are you ok? Is there something wrong?"
"What?"
"I asked if there's something wrong"
"Uhmm..nothing..I'm fine"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah"
Peter and the kids looked at each other and weren't convinced to her answer.
"I'm fine, maybe I'm just tired. It's been a long day at work so"
She smiled just to show them that she's fine. They continue eating but Peter knows that she's just acting to be fine. For how many years that they've been married, they know each other very well.
Alicia can't sleep because everytime she closes her eyes she always see the scene in Will's office. She walking in, thinking of the right words on how to say to Will and the moment Tammy came out in the toilet.
She tried different positions just to get her sleep but still can't. So, she sat down and turns her lamp on and gets a book. She thinks maybe by that she can fall asleep while reading like what she used to do. But her brain is not cooperating to what she wants because she can't stop thinking about it. So, she closes the book and stood up. She went out and headed to the kitchen to get some water but instead, she gets the wine and pours in a glass.
She sat down and wondering, what if a different scenario happened in Will's office. What if Tammy wasn't there and she had the chance to tell Will, what would've happened. Is he going to admit it and tell her the truth? Is he going to say those words that she wanted to hear? Those words that she's been waiting to hear from him, saying "I love you, Alicia". All those thoughts are keep coming out in her mind, suddenly she stopped. Because it didn't happened and those thoughts are not gonna happen, he's happy now with Tammy.
She look at her watch, it's already past one and she still awake. She drank all the wine in her glass and headed back to bed wishing that she can get her sleep. She lay down in her bed and told herself "Stop it, Alicia. Stop right now and sleep" then she closes her eyes and finally sleep.
