Chapter 1:
Olivia Benson is in the police academy. She is working hard on all her tests, she plans on being a police officer. Alexandra Cabot is in law school at NYU. The only thing that they have in common is they live in the same neighborhood and Olivia works at a diner in Manhattan and Alex stops in every night and gets herself a drink and sometimes a salad. Alex always thought Olivia was attractive so whenever she went in she always checked what section was hers and would sit there. She had all her books one night while Olivia brought her coffee over and she didn't even notice her so Olivia took the time really look at her. She was a beautiful woman and she wanted to tell her that. But the words never came out, this time she didn't know Alex had looked up and was looking at her. Big smile on her face because she caught Olivia staring at her. It made her feel sexy, it made her feel beautiful. She says to her, "Thank you for the coffee."
Olivia started blushing and said, "Anytime." then she walked away. But before she got very far she turned back around.
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Of course."
"Will you go out with me sometime?"
"Yes what are you thinking?"
"Dinner and a movie if that is ok with you?"
"Of course give me your phone and I will put my number in it."
Olivia hands her the phone. After she puts in the number she gives it back. She finishes her coffee a few minutes later and she pays for it. She smiles at me when she is getting ready to leave. As she walks out the door my heart starts racing because I have her number. A few hours later I text her: Hey beautiful how are you?"
Good, how are you?
I am good just leaving work now.
I am heading to bed I have classes in the morning.
Goodnight, I will talk to you in the morning. Sweet dreams.
Goodnight.
OLIVIA POV:
I cannot stop smiling right now. I have been looking forward to this moment for months. Ever since she started coming into the diner she has caught my eye. She always brought her schoolwork with her and order the same thing every time. A chicken caesar salad, a small water, and a coffee regular creams 6 sugars. The diner wasn't a very busy place it was usually just filled with regulars. I get to my little 1 bedroom apartment and I head into the livingroom to eat the food I brought home when I feel a buzz in my pocket.
Can't sleep right now up to a phone call.
If it's with you then I'm down.
You're funny of course it is with me. Video chat or regular phone call.
Video chat it would be nice to see you smile.
Awww ok I'll facetime you in 2 minutes, is that ok or do you need longer.
That will be just fine.
Right on the dot the phone rings with the caller id Alex pops up. I answer it and prop it up against the empty container that once held my food.
"Hey beautiful." I say. Her smile was so bright the stars had nothing on it.
"Hey back."
"How is law school going?"
"How did you know I was going to law school?"
"When I brought over your coffee the other day I saw one of your books."
"Very observant."
"I try."
"Well other than being observant what else do you plan on trying to do?"
"Making you laugh and smile."
"You're cute."
"That's another I try at." She laughs.
She asks me, "So what are you up to right now?"
"I am actually in the police academy."
"Wow look at you. What do you want to do in the force?"
"I want to work in the special victims unit."
"Really I heard that, that is the toughest unit in the NYPD."
"It is."
"I am intrigued by you. I hope you know that is a good thing."
"Thank you. I figured it would be a good thing."
"Well I am starting to get tired it was really nice to get to talk to you. I have classes in the morning but maybe I'll maybe get to see a handsome soon to be NYPD officer tomorrow night."
"OK I am working a double stop in at anytime. Goodnight beautiful."
The next morning I woke up smiling and I realized it was because she was on my mind, I realized that she was always on my mind I just chose to ignore it because I never thought I could have her. Not everything is different and she wants to be with me and that scares me a little bit but excites me at the same time. I know that I want to be with her too, so maybe this will work out and I can have my happy ever after. She can be my queen and I can be her knight in shining armor. She can be my girl.
I get up and start getting ready I work a double today so I have to start getting ready the only thing that is going to make this day enjoyable is that she is going to come in and spend some time with me. I will get her usual and maybe actually have time to sit down with her and have a face to face conversation. That would be really nice, I could arrange a date, I really don't know if I want to take her out or have a small dinner here and get to know each other. I really want to get to know her more than just she wants to be a lawyer, that's all I know and I want to know everything, What makes her laugh, cry, smile, feel upset, everything that she can think of I want to know. She knows it too.
