"Hey El, do you get a gay vibe from me?"
He froze and turned to look at his partner, wondering if this was a trick question like when women asked if what they are wearing made some part of them look too big. He saw the look on her face, she was waiting for an answer rather impatiently.
"Why do you ask, Liv?" He asked, dodging the question for a little while just to see if he could judge what reaction she really wanted from him. "I ask because Babs kissed me when I was her handler. I asked her what she wanted to eat and she kissed me." Olivia explained, moving to put her hands in her pockets as she watched her partner. "Tell me you said something funny to that. Just one joke." Elliot pleaded kiddingly. "I said: that's not on the menu. But Elliot… Do you think I am gay?" She asked and just pulled her hair into a ponytail.
"Liv, whether you're gay, straight, or a robot woman I will still love you like my sister and everyone here will love you too." He said and sat down, hoping that the answer he had given was good enough for her. Olivia could tell he was simply deflecting from the matter had hand. "Just. Say. Yes." She breathed, knowing exactly what he was doing. "Yes. Yes. Alright? I do. I don't think anything bad about it and I still view you as my baby sister."
It just made Olivia nod and consider the fact that people saw something in her that she hadn't thought about. At that point in time Alexandra Cabot, the tall blonde powerhouse of an atorney, walked in and flashed a rare smile to her. It always made a huge grin appear on her face and she felt insanely important.
"I hear Elliot got hit in the face with a fist but you got hit with a kiss." She said and sat on the edge of Olivia's desk, watching her with a grin. "I thought I only told Elliot…" Olivia said but knew someone else must've found out about it. "Well, Babs may have told the papers that she frenched one of the finest." She admitted and showed her the papers. It was Olivia standing behind Babs at the pride rally and then the two of them walking to a car, Olivia holding her arm. "Damn it." She whispered but Alex smiled with a shrug. "I think it makes you look… risky." She joked and Olivia laughed. Alex was so damn witty and funny with such a sharp tongue to match and she watched as that tongue licked the other woman's bottom lip in thought.
It was interesting to Olivia who watched it with a small smile. Elliot gently nudged her when he had asked how good of a kisser Babs Duffy was. "I didn't really absorb the kiss. Just deflected it quickly." She said and got up, putting on her leather jacket. "I think Liv is lying. I bet she loved it." Alex joked and smiled, nudging Olivia gently. It made both detective's laugh.
"Babs ins't my cup of tea. Too… bothersome. But she did say Elliot was a nice piece of Special ass." She joked and Elliot stood up, pretending to be compliment. "Even lesbians want some of THIS!" He said and smirked. Olivia shook her head and tossed her messenger bag around her shoulder as she started out of the unit. She had a lot to think about.
She was so deep in her thoughts that she didn't even realize Alex was walking her out. "Detective? Detective?" she asked, trying to get her attention as they were outside. "Oh, sorry. Just thinking." Olivia apologized "About Babs?" the blonde asked with a smirk.
"You know, the way you keep bringing her up is really suspicious. Something tells me she hit on you too. Got a little flame for her fiery red hair?" Olivia asked teasingly, feeling she deserved to get some shots a Alex too. "Ha! As if! Babs Duffy is not my type. I like them lean, tall, tanned… And with a badge and cuffs." She said and smiled before starting for her own car.
"Got a crush on Elliot?" She called and unlocked her own car, her Mustang, before she heard Alex yell: "More like on his partner!"
