Chapter 2 New Case

AN: thank you for the reviews and alerts and author favorites. They made me smile. Thanks It made me want to write. I have improved on my smut a little so I hope in the upcoming chapters you guys can give me constructive criticism. Ok, I'm asking for just 3 reviews this time (it gives me a confidence boost…lol).

Alex suddenly halted the passionate kiss.

She finally gazed into Olivia's eyes. "You… were late."

Olivia took this as a joke. "Better late than never."

Alex's face was stoic. "No, Olivia, you would have never admitted this to me if I didn't get shot."

"I was scared, but now, now I want you." Olivia replied. Her head was now slightly to the side.

"It's too late. Don't you get it? I'm in witness protection. They are going to take me for I don't know how long." Alex shrugged.

Olivia tried to hold her composure, but the fact that she couldn't admit to herself that she was in love with Alex and that it was too late before she realized, caused her seemingly dark brown eyes to stream a waterfall of tears down her olive cheek.

"Alex..." Olivia tried to talk between her sobbing, "I am so sorry." She finally said. "I didn't know what the feelings that I was experiencing with you were. I didn't want to admit to myself that..." she took a deep breath.

Alex gazed at Olivia intently. She was still hurt and although Olivia was apologizing she couldn't forgive her. Not right now. She wanted Olivia to feel what she felt.

"I didn't want to admit that-" Olivia got cut off.

"I have to go." Alex faced the windshield. She was hurt. She didn't want someone who couldn't admit to themselves that they are in love with her. Not only that, Olivia wants to admit it only because she knows she's not going to see Alex again.

Olivia stared at Alex's face; Her eyes shifting to find an answer to why Alex just stopped her. "Alex... Alex, look I'm trying to tell you-"

Alex pulled down her window down and signaled for the DEA.

"You are ready to go?"

Alex simply nodded.

Olivia stopped staring and opened her door. "I love you, Alex. Yes, maybe it was too late. I just want to tell you I'm not moving to Florida anymore and..."

Olivia's voice trailed off as the car started moving.

Elliot came up behind her oblivious to the words that were just spoken. "Hey, I'm going to miss her, too. Stop crying." Elliot hugged her smiling.

Olivia nodded. She wasn't just going to miss her, but she was also going to feel like shit. She was stupid enough to let it go on this long. She could have stopped the relationship before it began so it wouldn't hurt like it was hurting now. Telling Alex she loved her, felt good, but it didn't fix shit. In all these corny movies they always say I love you and it fixes everything. That's all Olivia hoped for.

Two Years Later

"This boy says he got shot by a ghost?" Fin stated walking towards Olivia's desk.

Olivia was ruffling through papers. "Yea, why?" she asked without looking at Fin.

"I know a guy that can find perps in different aliases. If the kid described him enough maybe we can find him." Fin suggested.

"Alright, Elliot is getting ballistics on the bullet so I'll go." Olivia finally looked up. She grabbed her brown leather jacket and quickly shoved it on while she was walking towards the elevator.

"So you called me down?" Elliot asked kind of rushed.

"Yea, we matched the bullet."

"We got the perp?" Elliot asked.

"No, but look." The tech turned the computer screen around.

"Alex? He shot..." Elliot quickly dialed Olivia. "Thanks," Elliot stated through the doorway.

xXx

"Never mind," Olivia finally stated towards the man at the computer. "I don't know how we are going to find this ghost."

"Did you say ghost?" the man started typing. "If you're talking about ghost, well that's him. He's with the drug cartel."

"Print a picture and fax it to our precinct."

As Olivia was about dial Elliot's number her phone buzzed.

"Benson." She started walking out of the building.

"Hey, I got ballistics on the gun."

"I got good news, too."

Elliot laughed through the phone. "It's more like the same bullet that was found on the boy was the same one extracted from Alex."

Olivia had forgotten all about Alex. Her first true love. "That's great. I think I got the guy." Olivia was now driving.

"Great. Meet you at the precinct."

AN: Aww…Olivia and Alex might see each other again will they finally be together? Or will Alex turn Olivia down? Or will Olivia just not want a relationship because she doesn't want to get hurt, so many possibilities. Also, I have a story for all you A/O shippers; tell me in the review if you want me to post it up. Thanks for the awesome reviews. The real action is in the next chapter. 3 reviews remember. Love you guys!
