Thanks for the reviews, I hope everyone enjoys this chapter.

Days went by and Will still had not told Alicia how he felt. Every day he woke saying "Today is going to be the day." And everyday he flaked out. Then One day, while in a meeting he had the notion to tell her now. Yes he knew it was the worst way ever to explain his feelings, especially in a budget meeting, but now or never. He had to call her anyway so he mind as well invite her to dinner after her meeting. But when the phone clicked it was Peter and not Alicia.

"Oh its ah-hi is ah." He babbled his way through the conversation. Less intimidated by Peter and more caught off guard, especially because of what he was going to say to wife.

"No Alicia left her phone at home." Peter said, his body already filling with rage and suspicion. Why is Will calling her so early(though she had already left earlier that morning), why did he sound so anxious and babbling.

"Oh." Was all Will said irritating Peter even more for wasting his time.

"You wanna leave a message?" Irritation obvious in his voice.

"No. She's with another lawyer I'll try them. Thanks." He said trying to sound constant.

"Ok." Peter said hanging up the phone. This started what will end up to be a bad day for everyone.

Will hung up and called the other lawyers office to tell Alicia to go on without him. Since he had to talk to a secretary he decided against the dinner. He shook his head and continued to listen to a long boring meeting about how he can't give out good tickets and losing flowers. This should be a good day. He said to himself as he sat back down in his chair.

A few hours later Alicia sat in her office after being patted down and legally violated. She picked up the receiver to hear Peter ask her about a trivial box that he probably was lying about. She didn't care, she was more worried about the firm and Will. Will, her feelings, his feelings, everything.

"Alicia?" Her name being called over the phone brought her from their thoughts. Shaking her head she responded.

"I'm sorry what did you say?" She said not really caring.

"I said Will called and you left you phone at home." Of hearing his name she went back to her thoughts, only to be brought back again by Peter.

"Yeah, sorry I know we got...in touch. Well Peter I have to get back to work so." She said trying to hide her affections and the smile forming on her face. Peter feeling the strain let her go saying.

"Work." Less a statement more a question. Alicia hung up immediately, trying to clear her mind before court later that evening. Composing herself she went up to the conference room for some more debriefing before court.

Peter found himself looking for a box cutter for the box that Eli needed. While grabbing the knife he also found condoms. Intriguing his curiosity and pissing him off even more at the same time, he slammed the drawer and stormed out. Hoping that Eli would get his mind off of the condoms, only to be proven wrong. Eli ended up fueling more fuel to the fire telling him about untrue rumors about his wife and her boss. Pissed, he only asked for the person who wrote them and stormed out again.

After losing pretrial motions and getting a judge on their bad side he was more pumped than ever. After debriefing and agreeing to talk to Bishop about the deceased Kelly he asked Alicia to his office.

Once in his office Will closed the door and sat in his chair with his feet up. He thought if he looked more relaxed and confident, she was more likely to say yes, and that it wouldn't cause too much suspicion.

"So that judge really doesn't like you does she?" She said batting her eyes, smiling making his heart skip a beat. Grabbing his composure, he smiled.

"Yeah I don't know, maybe she didn't like my opinion." He said showing his stellar award winning smile. Causing Alicia to smile as well.

"Well maybe you just haven't given enough of that Gardner charm." She said trying her hardest not to smile. Will laughed and silence engulfed the room again. This time it was Will who was shaken with fear and worry. He sighed trying to calm himself down.

"So Alicia about the other day." Alicia shifted in her chair preparing for the inevitable talk about them. Will placed his feet on the ground and moved closer to her. Leaving only the desk between them.

"Hey don't freak out. I don't want to talk about it now, but we will need to talk about it. It can be over dinner a beer or one of our late nights that we usually do. But we do need to talk." He tried to look serious so she knew the severity of the situation. But at the same time he wanted her to know that it wasn't mandatory and that if she didn't want to she didn't have. This only caused Will to become even more nervous, though to anyone else they would never know, but because it was Alicia. She knew.

"Ok." That simple word said so many to Will. Alicia kept her composure the whole time and yet like Will, only he could tell the rising anxiety in her voice.

"So dinner after this case?" Will said rising from his desk. He walked over to Alicia and grabbed her hand helping her out of her chair. The small contact sending electricity up their spines.

"So is that gonna be beer and pizza or a real dinner?" She smirked as collected her things and started walking out of the office, Will in tow.

"Depends on the case. Good pizza. Bad dinner." He replied with a straight face causing Alicia to shake her head laughing as she left the office. The sound of her joy resonated through his body as he closed his office door. He was tempted to slide down the edge of the door like a lovesick teenager, but that would attract too much attention and probably hurt. Instead he grabbed his favorite baseball and started throwing it up in the air as he walked back to his desk to continue working on his arguments for courts. As he did he rocked a huge smile.

As Alicia rode down the elevator to meet Kalinda before she left, in hopes to ride along with her. She was happy that there were not other people on the elevator to see the huge smiled that formed as she thought of a possible date with will. No, not a date. You can't date when your married. Can you? Alicia pondered as she saw Kalinda at her car almost waiting for her to finish with Will.

"Stalking now are you Kalinda?" Alicia asked sarcastically, more or so mad that she knows her too well.

"Naw, just waiting for you and Will to finish making out." Kalinda said as she smiled and started to walk to the passenger seat of Alicia's car. Alicia lightly smacked her on the arm and smiled as she got in to the front seat of her own car.

Well I hoped everyone enjoyed it. Please review and part two will be coming soon.;)
