Chapter 4: Lunch and Revelations.

So as the clock ticked by for both Alex and Olivia it was like they were both becoming impatient for two different things that are connected to each other. Once the clock hit 11:30 Olivia couldn't take it anymore she got up and grabbed her leather jacket out from the crib. Trying to calm her nerves she walks back into the bullpen and tells Elliott that she is taking her lunch. He gives her a nod and she makes her way out to her car, she figured that Alex would be sitting in her office just doing paperwork unless someone came to tell her to take a lunch, which is usually Olivia. So it wasn't a surprise when Olivia showed up at One Hogan by now everyone knew who she was because she came over two or three times a week to make that Alex was eating because sometimes she was just so invested that she didn't even notice. Although today it was totally different she was waiting for lunch like it would never come and when it clicked she picked up her phone to then call Olivia. While the phone was ringing she hung up because coming towards her was the one hot brunette detective that she has been wanting for so long. She didn't know it but her wish was about to come true. Even though Olivia knew Alex saw her she knows to always knock before she enters just in case Alex was busy. She heard "enter" from the other side of the door and that's when she opened and pushed it open. Leaning on her desk with her hair flowing everywhere was one beautiful blue eyed blonde that gave a sweet warm smile to the occupant of her office. After a minute or so of staring at each other Olivia decided to break the silence, "Wow I didn't think I would see you without your face stuffed in one of those files because that where you usually is." Olivia gave with a smile.

"Well I guess you could say I got distracted by something, but it's not a surprise to see you here. I know that because you always to make sure I eat." She replied but this time her smile was more seductive. And she noticed the darkening of Olivia's eyes, she knew exactly what she was doing. Olivia tried to shake it off but she knew Alex could tell she was aroused. So she shoves her hands in the pockets of her leather jacket. And before her body could give any more signs she said, "Well your chariot awaits I have come to whisk you away to lunch with me."

Alex replied with, "Well thank you Liv, you know you didn't have to."

"Alex I know I don't have to I just really like spending with you." Olivia said and then became a little embarrassed that she actually said what she was thinking because if she says what she thinks half of the time they were not at all PG. Fixing her train of thought she walks over to the coat rack and gets the ADA's coat. When she turns back around Alex was now standing in front of her, due to the height difference she felt Alex's hot breath on her neck and a shiver went down her spine. Alex turned around because she knows Olivia will help her into coat. Olivia shrugged on Alex's coat up her arms. Alex walked back over to the desk to grab her purse and to grab she would have to bend over. When she bent over she bent over a lot more than she should, so her skirt rode up a very good amount. Which was exactly what she wanted because she always would catch Olivia running her eyes up and down her legs. She grabbed and stood back to see that Olivia's breath was erratic, Alex thought it shouldn't be that long now.

"Ok. I'm ready Lv."

"Ok then, let's get going because I know you don't have all day." Olivia replied with a smile. Olivia and Alex walked out of the ADA's office. Alex gave a nod to her assistant it meant she was taking her lunch. So Abby nodded back saying she understood. Both Alex and Olivia walked over to the elevator, waiting for it reach there floor. Once it reached there it opened so both women boarded and hit the lobby button and the doors closed, they landed on the lobby floor. They both got out and made their way to the parking garage. They arrived at the garage to where Olivia's car is and Olivia has always helped Alex in the car, maybe it was because she was polite or maybe it was just the dominant girlfriend side of her even though she was not Alex's girlfriend. What Alex doesn't know is that Olivia found out sometime around last week that Alex is gay. So that made a significant increase in her confidence because if she denied it wasn't because of her gender. She had no idea how to feel about the situation so she just stopped her train of thought before she was pushed back into her shell. She put the park into reverse pulled out then put it into drive and started driving to Alex's favorite restaurant. Alex was too deep into her thoughts that she didn't even notice that this was the way to her favorite restaurant. She had a million things on her mind. One of those things is what to make for her because she knows Olivia isn't picky about anything because of the life she had. Alex decided to cook Olivia, manicottis over pasta with a marinara sauce. Then for dessert cannoli's that has chocolate chips because she knows that Olivia loves Italian food. It wasn't a problem because Alex loved cooking Italian food because you could basically do whatever you want with it. It will be like trial and error to see what taste good or what doesn't but it doesn't matter because as the people and cook that are eating as long as they like it, it's like you don't have to follow a specific recipe you can do whatever you want with it and that's exactly why Alex likes cooking it. She was also thinking that she should wear something seductive but have it be subtle because who knows what might happen she's hoping it's going to be Olivia's arms around holding her after saying that she will be her girlfriend. She was pulled out of her thoughts because the car stopped. She looked out the window and saw that Olivia had brought her to her favorite restaurant and she was really excited about that. Olivia went to her side of the car to help Alex out of the car. She knew that Alex was deep in thought but she wouldn't press to know what it was unless she was worried. She helped Alex out of the car and they started towards the restaurant. They went in got a table and while waiting for the waiter to come to come get there order, they fell into a silence and were just staring at each other. They were pulled out of their trance when the waiter cleared his throat. Alex ordered her usual, lo main with shrimp and extra sauce. Olivia also ordered her usual, general tao's chicken with white rice and extra chicken. As the waiter walked away Alex broke the silence by saying, "Hey Liv I have a question."

"What would that be Al?"

"Would you like to come over for dinner?" She says and is surprised that her voice didn't crack because she didn't realize it would be nerve racking asking this. Now she understands why it has taken Olivia so long.

"I would love to," Olivia gave the smile that was only reserved for Alex but it turned on Alex so much.

They waiter came back with their food and they started eating. Olivia was becoming really nervous and Alex could see that. She knows what Olivia is nervous even though Olivia was nervous Alex was basically dancing on the inside. Olivia gained enough courage brought her head up and locked her eyes. She began to talk, "Alex can I tell you something?"

"Of course you can Olivia you know that."

With one final breath. "I like you Alex, like a lot."

Alex knew what she meant but she didn't want to give anything away so instead she went along with it because she figured it would help Olivia. "I like you to Liv, if I didn't I don't think we would be such great best friends."

Olivia took one big deep breath and told herself that she would just say it put it all out there. "Alex I like you. I have always liked you, but it's more than that because friends like each other and everything. But with me and you it's different. We have been playing this song and dance for years, and so I am telling you everything. I'm putting all my cards out there. The moment you walked into the squad room I didn't know how to breathe because you are just so beautiful. I have never seen and never will see anything as beautiful as you. We have been going through this song and dance for to many years. I have a good feeling that you feel the same so I knew that now was the time. I want something with you, I don't want to wait anymore, No more running and no more hiding."

Alex reached a crossed the table and took Olivia's hand in her own, "You have no idea I have waited for this moment. The first day I saw you I was awestruck because you were and are so dominant, strong, athletic, and I just wanted something more with you and I was going to pursue that but that night you sat me down and told me about your past, I figured it would be best for you to make the first move. A part of me always knew that we would get here, that we are meant to be. There is no one like Olivia and I would never want anyone other you. So yes no more running and no more hiding. Me and you."

Olivia had a smile on her face and turned her hand so that hers and Alex's were intertwined. Alex continued with saying, "I have thought about a lot today and I wanted you to come over for dinner, I'm making your favorite."

"I always like your cooking and yes I would love to come over for dinner." Alex gave a smile and a nod. Olivia looked at her watch and saw that they still had about 25 minutes before they both had to be back at work. Olivia decided that she would Alex if she wanted to go for a walk. "Hey Alex I have a question."

"Yes, what is your question?"

"Would you like to go for a walk? We still have a good amount of time before either of us has to go back to work."

"Yes I would love to." Alex gave her a sweet smile. They called over the waiter and paid the bill. Which everything was settled they started towards the door.
