AN: this is just something I couldn't get off my mind. I know it's not that good but I don't care.
Disclaimer: not mine...duh
As I sit at my desk, I can hear people whispering. It wasn't that they are whispering, but it's the fact that there looking at me when there talking.
It reminds me of high school when the rumor went around that I was bisexual. It not that it isn't true, it's that I never told anyone. Hints the rumor part.
I wonder what there saying. God I just wish they'd stop looking at me. "El, I'm goin' out for lunch" I didn't even wait for a reply.
I wonder if Alex is in her office. I wonder if she knows. But what is there to know?
"Come on please be there" should I knock or just go in "Alex, I was wonde-" she's got that face too. She know's something.
"Olivia hi" she fumbled with some papers "I didn't uhhh...I wasn't umm...wow what a surprise" she was fidgeting. Oh yea, she knew something.
I knew I could trust Alex, she would tell me what was going on "ok jokes over, tell me what's up"
"What are y-you talkin' about?" she tried to look everywhere else but at me.
Well I tried to play nice "ok lets see, everyone here and in the squad was lookin' at me as if I had come to work naked or somethin'. Your acting all weird" Alex opened her mouth to argue but I put my hand up "and don't forget the fact that I am a cop, it's my job to know when someone's lying" I turned and left.
I can feel the hair on the back of my neck stand up as I walk into the squad room.
"SURPRISE"
I was shocked. I mean everywhere I looked there were balloons with the number 42 on it. I can't believe I forgot my own birthday. And I thought they said forty was the new twenty "yea right" I whispered to myself with a sly smile.
As everyone came up and wished me a happy birthday and told me how good I look for forty-two etc. I noticed someone behind me. It was Elliot.
"Well, rumor is" I could feel his hot breath on my ear "today's your birthday"
