Chapter 1:
Alex POV
It's 8 pm, I want to talk to Liv about something. I liked having her in my house, I know we haven't been together that long but I like going to bed and waking up next to her everyday. I want her to move in but I don't want to scare her away. We are sitting on my couch watching movies. I don't know how to bring up the conversation.
Olivia POV
I can see that she wants to talk about something so I'll bring it up, "What's going on in that beautiful brain of yours?"
"I'm deciding whether or not I want to ask you a question."
"Why are you deciding whether to ask a question?"
"Because I don't know if it's the right time."
"Ok, well I'll be here to answer your question if you do want to ask." I know exactly what she wants to ask she gave it away by saying she doesn't know if it is the right time, and if you think I'd say no you need help. You know what I'm going.
"Yes."
"Yes, what?"
"Yes, I will move in with you."
"But...how….when...huh."
"You aren't as clever as you think you are sweetheart. As soon as you said I don't know if it is the right time I knew what you were going to ask."
"Wow, then this just got all the hell of a lot easier. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Alex POV
For once Olivia being able to read my mind is a good thing, because I have absolutely no idea how I would've asked. Although I really hope she can't do this all the time, because that would be really bad for me. I try to figure everything out in my head and if she can tell what I am thinking how will I ever be able to surprise her.
I turn towards her and grab her face. I bring her face closer to mine and give her a kiss, she is really liking this because her hands that went from resting on her legs are now around my rib cage bringing me closer to her. I scoot forward and she pulls me onto her lap. Her hands went from on my rib cage to now on my hips. Her nails digging into my hip, I can feel it through the jeans I am wearing, it feels great. She can drive me crazy in the matter of a few seconds, it amazes me. It is usually fast, but not as fast as it is when I am with her. God, she drives me crazy.
I get off of her lap and ask, "Do you want some ice cream?"
"Yea that sounds great, thank you."
"Anytime sweetheart." I get up and go into the kitchen to grab us a snack. She worked really hard and now she is back at work. She is happy. So am I, I am happy about everything. Everything is so good right now! After I get some ice cream I decided to add some toppings and make it a sundae. We both deserve it.
I go back and sit on the couch, we sit in silence as we eat our ice cream. She finishes her ice cream before me but she waits until I am done so she can wash the dishes. When the dishes are done she comes back and sits on the couch. After she lays back I snuggle into her side, I hear the noise I dread the most, the sound of her work cell. I sit up so she can grab it.
"Benson" And then I hear what sounds like Elliots voice.
"Ok, I'll be right there."
"Sorry baby, I have to go. 13 year old girl beaten by her mother and father tried to kill herself."
"Ok sweetie, call me when you get a chance. This time I can surprise you, I know what's going on in your head. Call me once you interview her, I think I can call in a favor to get her released into our care so she doesn't go into the system."
"Thank you so much baby, I'll be careful."
As she walks out the door,I continue to sit here and think. I have an extra bedroom that is a spare bedroom that I can turn into a bedroom for a thirteen year old girl. I just hope she will trust Olivia. She should Olivia is the Angel of SVU. I'm going to stay up until I get that call, I mean considering how good she is with kids and how much she wants them, but we also have just agreed to move in with each other. We've liked each other for almost 6 years now so I guess that could also be a part of it. I try to relax and watch tv, I'm switched the channel. I'm now watching Master Chef. I do love to cook, and I need to get my mind off things. Well I grew very tired so I went to my room and laid down. Turned my cell phone ringer all the way up and put it under my pillow so that I could here if my phone goes off. It doesn't take long for me to fall asleep, I have had a long couple of weeks and it all kind of just caught up with me. After what feels like forever I hear my phone rings, but it wasn't who I wanted it to be. It was Elliot, and I suddenly became worried because last time this happen she got shot. "Hi Alex."
"Hey El, is everything ok? Is Liv ok?"
"Yes everything is fine. She is still in there talking to the girl. So I decided to give you a call, you really need to nail them hard to the wall. I have never seen her cry when a victim told their story. Liv cried with the girl. Alex this girl, has 4 broken ribs and she's been self harming for years. Her parents have been abusing her for basically of her life. We need to help her."
"I'll do everything I can to make sure they never get out, and I know how Liv and I can help her. I think I am going to make a call and get her released into our care. We will both help her. She can count on us."
"I know. You two are really good people. It's nice to have people like you and Olivia in this cruel world."
