Oh hey everybody. It's me again. I hope to continue this story for real now, but I can't promise anything. Anyway, enjoy this chapter : ) and please review!

Alex accepted the kiss, welcoming Olivia's tongue into her mouth and sliding her own across it. When she pulled back a moment later, Olivia saw that she was smiling. They stood in silence for a few seconds until Alex picked up her plate. "Come on, we don't want the whole place to smell like pizza."
Olivia followed suit and grabbed her own plate, along with the box, and walked behind her to the sink. She ran through what just happened in her mind. It was like the interrupted kiss from the night before was completed; nothing new had been instigated, no further step taken, except to confirm for Alex what the two of them had.
It didn't need discussing that they were going to bed together that night.

Over the next couple nights, there were a couple disturbances, but nothing as bad or recurrent as the first. They did watch more Harry Potter, along with other movies, but that was because it was rainy. Today Olivia had other plans.
She scrolled through the updates on her phone, knowing there wasn't anything new. Elliot had called her a few times over the recent days, and though he couldn't be telling her much about the case, he did say that they had been looking into all of Alex's past cases, and who she had put away and for how long, along with other details-which Olivia agreed was so basic and obvious that it couldn't possibly be suspicious if Alex found out. He of course wanted updates on the situation on her end of the phone. Without giving him any "juicy details" (because there honestly weren't many to give) told him it was going better than she ever would have expected.
Olivia smiled as Alex shuffled out of the bedroom, squinting in the morning light.
"Good morning, sleepyhead."
"Not that sleepy." Alex replied as she walked over to join the detective sitting at the table. "I was holding onto a good dream."
"What was it about?" Olivia asked, curious.
"Good stuff."
Now she was really curious.
"Well, I thought we'd do something to take advantage of the sunshine today."
"Oh yeah? Like what?"
"Good stuff."
Alex smirked. "I suppose you have something in mind?"
"Mm, yep. Get dressed counselor, we're wasting daylight."

After walking 6 blocks without telling Alex where they were going, Olivia led them in the door of her favorite diner. She was waiting for a "So this is what was so special that you couldn't tell me we were going to?" But it didn't come.
They sat down at Olivia's booth and the waitress came to take their drink order. "Hello Olivia," she greeted casually, but there was a new note in her voice.
"Hey Clara, how's business?"
"Oh, same ol'. The recession's got people not buyin' breakfast, but it's a new found cheap dinner for some, so we keep trekking on. Who's this?" she asked, smiling curiously at Alex.
Olivia smiled, too. "This is my friend Alex. Alex—Clara, the best waitress in the city."
"Well, it's nice to meet you. Any friend of Liv's is a VIP here. What can I get you to drink, hon?"
"Coffee would be great, thanks."
Olivia nodded in agreement, and they were left alone at their table.
Alex raised her eyebrows, obviously awaiting an explanation for the not so common introduction.
Olivia gave a small smile, flipping her hair from in front of her shoulders. "This has been my place since I discovered it in high school. Clara's worked here about as long. In 25 years I've never brought anyone with me."
"Ah." Alex smiled shyly and looked down.

After a hearty brunch—for which Olivia picked up the bill, telling Alex "shush" as she opened her mouth to object—the two women walked out of the diner and down the street. "Where to now, detective?" Alex asked curiously.
"The park."
The blonde gave a small smile. "Ok." After a few more steps she slid her hand into Olivia's. Lacing their fingers together, Olivia grinned.
They walked through central park in enjoyable silence, until they approached a set of swings. Grabbing a chain and sitting on one, Alex asked "Is this another childhood favorite?"
"Kind of," Olivia replied, taking her own. "I came to the park to get away from my mom a lot. But mostly I just like swinging."
The women pumped higher, and Olivia watched her date's blonde hair flowing up behind her, until they were moving in unison.
"Hey, we're married." The words sounded wonderful coming off Alex's lips.
"Indeed."
"That playground is calling to me," Alex said, staring at the jungle gym across the grass.
"Alexandra Cabot, bad-ass prosecutor and child at heart."
"Race you there!" The ADA called as she let go and went airborne, landing gracefully, and she started to run.
"Hey! No fair!" Olivia jumped after her and, catching up, reached out for the back of Alex's shirt. Alex willingly fell to the ground, pulling Olivia along with her. Olivia found herself lying on top of her, both of them laughing. When the laughter settled down, Alex looked up into Olivia's eyes and said,
"This is the part where you kiss me."
Olivia's smile only left her lips enough to come together against Alex's. As the woman beneath her smiled back into her kiss, Olivia heard Elliot's words in her mind. She loves you.
As they walked through the park, hand in hand, Olivia instinctually wanted to tell Alex about things she never talked about with anyone, sides of her she didn't let anyone see. Her guilt complex; the complex relationship she had with her mother; the nightmares she still had about the people she had killed; how much she wanted children but was afraid of the kind of parent she would be. She was so comfortable with her. But she held back. Don't scare her off, Olivia. She settled instead for many games of 20 questions, and people watching. After a while, Olivia let herself say, "I was afraid I'd never see you again." She paused. "That I'd missed my chance."
"Well," Alex responded, "here I am."

They walked to buy fresh fruit and bread for dinner, a refreshing alternative to the not-so-healthy food they had been having for many meals that week. As they finished eating in the grass, the sun was beginning to fall in the sky.
Alex resituated and leaned back against Olivia, who held her as they watched the blue heavens turn to brilliant orange and purple and pink. As the colors faded to reveal the night sky, the two women lay on their backs to enjoy what few stars could be seen above the city. "I wish we could really watch the stars," Alex mused."
"My mom and I went on camping trips a little ways up state. They're really magnificent."
"You'll have to show me."
After a few moments in comfortable silence, Alex turned and asked, "You ready to go?"

As they walked into her apartment, Olivia had barely shut the door before she was pushed up against it. Alex's lips crashed into hers, sending shockwaves through her body. Taken by surprise, Olivia moaned into Alex's kiss. The kiss deepened, neither wanting to break away from the feeling she had ached for for so long... the feeling of Alex's tongue gliding under hers, their lips clashing with long imprisoned passion.
After what must have been a full minute, Olivia broke free and moved down to Alex's neck. She felt an almost purr-like vibration against her mouth, letting her know that she was doing something right. She smiled against her smooth skin, thinking she must be making Alex weak, as the grip on her arms against the door slackened. She used the opportunity to move an arm slowly and cautiously around Alex's waist. When she responded by bringing her hand up to her tousled brown hair, Olivia pulled their bodies together, reveling in the taste of Alex's sensitive skin. She then proceeded making a trail of kisses along her jaw line, eliciting a breathy moan.
Taking in her scent, she moved her lips up to her lover's ear, taking it slightly into her mouth.
"Liv" came a low voice against her ear.
She paused, listening to the words from the woman in her arms.
"Take me to bed, Olivia."
What? She pulled back to look into Alex's eyes, which she saw briefly before she was greeted by lips pushing powerfully against her own; she felt a weakness coursing through her that only Alex could create.
Her heart beating madly, Olivia used her grip around Alex's torso to lead her into the bedroom, never breaking the kiss.
After gently guiding her onto her bed, Olivia looked meaningfully into eyes that looked meaningfully back. "Alex, are you.."
"Yes I'm sure Yes I want this Yes I'm fragile and Yes I'm in love with you, Olivia."
Olivia smiled and softly placed her lips against Alex's. "And I'm in love with you." She then returned to her neck, and took hold of the bottom of her silky shirt. The lovers' eyes met as one of the barriers between their bodies was pulled off.
Gliding her tongue over Alex's collarbones, Olivia reached under her and unclasped her bra, and with the beautiful blonde's help it was tossed to the floor. The detective started her trail of kisses at Alex's cheek and travelled slowly down to her bare chest, which rose and fell with increasing pace underneath her. She hoped the broken ribs wouldn't be a problem; Olivia wanted to make Alex feel incredible—so incredible to make up for four long years they didn't have.
She trailed her skillful kisses ever so slowly across her lover's breast, at last taking her nipple into her warm mouth. Alex gasped, arching her back slightly and brought her hands to the woman's highlighted brown hair.
Olivia took one of them and laced it with her own, pressing them down into the pillow. Passion heated her body as she swirled her tongue in fast but thorough circles. She squeezed Alex's hand and moved to the other side without raising her lips.
After completing the same treatment for her other breast, Olivia began to kiss every inch of Alex's torso, taking her time to gently love every healing mark.
She released her lover's hand, and used hers to open Alex's jeans; she smiled as the woman under her lifted her hips, encouraging her to slide them off of her body. Once they were, Alex grabbed Olivia's shirt and began pulling it over her head. Olivia didn't object, but told her "This is about you tonight, baby."
"I want to feel you against me." Alex continued to take off her bra, and, being unable to reach them in their current position, simply stated "Pants." And they too were thrown to join the articles lying forgotten on the floor.
Both women now in only their underwear, Olivia pushed Alex down into the bed and resumed where she left off. Slowly and passionately she covered her hips and thighs, before slipping off her final piece of clothing.
She moved her body on top of Alex's, and kissed her deeply. She then reached toward the bedside table. "Do you want-?"
"I just want you."
Olivia's heart leapt. She looked into the eyes staring up at her, filled with passion, desire, and love. Alex leaned up to kiss her; Olivia slid her tongue into her mouth and pushed her back down into the pillow. She again held Alex's hand as their mouths moved together and she cupped her breast in her other hand. She squeezed her nipple between her fingers gently, enjoying the wonderful feeling she had always longed for; a part of her questioned if it was only just another one of her many dreams about Alex. Alex moaned into her mouth, and somehow she knew it wasn't.
Olivia pressed the side of her face into Alex's to expose where she wanted to kiss, and placed her tongue into the spot where her jaw and neck meet. Feeling Alex's "Mmm" of pleasure, she continued, and moved her hand down her body. She stopped when she reached the woman's small patch of hair; she felt Alex's breathing become harder and faster. Olivia slid her hand below it and moistened her fingers with the wetness she found there. Alex's breath caught as she moved across her clit.
Olivia pulled Alex's chin back up and looked into her wide eyes as she firmly pushed her two middle fingers inside her. Alex gasped and reached her hand to the center of her lover's back, pulling her body against her. Olivia kissed her ear and slipped her fingers nearly out before pushing back up, curling her fingers.
"God, Olivia" Alex's breathless voice gasped into her ear. She took her earlobe into her mouth as she slowly moved deep inside her, squeezing her hand as she held it against the bed. Every few moments she came back up to her clit, rubbing circles against her most sensitive spot. Olivia kissed the lips of the woman she loved and pushed her body tighter against her, making every moment count as she finally made love to Alex.
As Alex's breathing became heavier, she continued her steady touch and pressed her tongue into her smooth neck. Alex squeezed her hand harder, and she quickened her pace, moving her fingers around her clit.
"Oh, Olivia!" Alex's back arched and Olivia slipped her hand out of her grasp and under her body, holding her tightly before quickly pushing inside of her. She felt Alex's muscles tighten around her fingers and her whole body stiffen; Olivia kissed her neck and held her close as she orgasmed.
As the waves subsided, Olivia gently laid Alex back flat on the bed. "I love you Alexandra."
Alex's breathing slowly returned to its calm, steady pattern, and with her arms wrapped around her pulled Olivia down into her, one hand on her back and the other weaved in her hair.
"I like it better short."
The two women smiled as their foreheads grazed together.
"Was that okay?" Olivia asked.
"Liv.." Alex responded softly.
Olivia's face fell, her eyes widening.
"It was wonderful."
Olivia was knocked out of her brief fear of failure by Alex's mouth pushing into her own.
