When Olivia woke up, she was surprised Alex was still sleeping. Yesterday had definitely been a long, very fun day.
And now, she was holding Alex. Everything felt so right.
Olivia closed her eyes. She could hear rain softly beating against the window and the soft sound of Alex breathing. She took a deep breath herself and could smell the sweet scent of Alex. The perfect mixture of shampoo, perfume, and Alex's own naturally wonderful smell.
It was then that Olivia realized that the arm Alex was laying on was asleep. She tried wiggling her fingers, but to no avail. She looked down at Alex, who was peacefully sleeping and decided that she could suffer through some pain for the beautiful woman next to her.
Alex began to stir. She moved herself closer to Olivia, burying her face in the crook of Olivia's neck. Olivia smiled. She could feel Alex's breath on her neck and it started to change. Alex was waking up.
"Did I wake you up?" Olivia asked, quietly.
"No," Alex answered, not leaving the safety of her new found shelter.
"Good," Olivia stroked Alex's hair.
Alex took a deep breath, "Is it raining?"
"I think so," Olivia answered. The tingling in her finger was turning from a sort of numbness to needles poking her skin.
Alex slowly pulled back and looked at Olivia. "Are you okay?"
"My fingers are asleep," Olivia confessed.
Alex smiled and moved to that Olivia could remove her arm from under her. Alex took Olivia's sleeping hand and started massaging it.
Olivia watched as Alex gently caressed her hand back to normal. Alex looked up at Olivia and kissed her knuckled. Then she turned Olivia's hand around sweetly kiss her palm.
Chills ran through Olivia. This was a completely new feeling for her. Feeling completely cared about and cherished. Olivia cupped Alex's cheek and brought her in for a passionate kiss.
"Mmm," Alex smiled angelically, keeping her eyes closed, "You should definitely do that more often."
"My pleasure," Olivia smirked.
Alex glanced over at her clock, "It's already ten? I haven't slept until ten since college."
"Did you have plans for our last day off?" Olivia asked.
Alex shook her head, "I was just going to play it by ear. Anything in particular you wanted to do?"
Olivia took Alex's hand, "Anything that doesn't involve leaving your apartment."
"Lucky for you," Alex smiled and threaded her fingers through Olivia's, "I have an extensive collection of DVDs that can entertain us all day. And I have the take out menus of every place within thirty miles of here."
"That sounds like fun," Olivia smiled. She kissed Alex again.
Alex slid out of bed and stretched. Olivia watched from the bed before Alex caught her.
Alex smirked, "I'm going to go make breakfast. Is there anything in particular you wanted?"
Olivia shook her head.
"Okay," Alex walked to the door. She threw one last smile Olivia's way before exiting the room.
Olivia took a deep breath. This turned out to be an incredible three day vacation. Which made her remember why she was on vacation in the first place. She lifted up the sheet and her shirt to examine her wound. It was almost healed and the stitches were already starting to disintegrate. Apparently Alex did amazing things for Olivia's healing process.
Alex was staring at the piece of French toast in the skillet in front of her. She couldn't help, but smile. She flipped it over and turned to the refrigerator to get the orange juice out. When she turned back around, Olivia was standing in the doorway.
"Hey," Alex smiled before sliding the French toast onto a plate.
"Wow," Olivia surveyed the plate, "Do you cook like this all the time?"
"Not for myself," Alex replied, tossing another piece into the skillet, "I do when the kids spend the night."
Olivia smiled at the thought that Alex was spoiling her. Breakfast in the morning usually meant a cup of coffee on the way out the door and something out of the vending machines when she got to work.
Olivia leaned on the counter, "You're amazing."
Alex looked genuinely surprised, "Me?"
"No, I was talking to the French toast," Olivia smiled, "Of course you."
A slight blush crept up Alex's cheeks, "Thank you."
Olivia sat on a stool across the counter from Alex and smiled. She hadn't done this much smiling since…well, ever.
Alex slid a plate over to Olivia. She'd dusted the toast with powered sugar and added a fork.
"It looks great," Olivia picked up the fork. And so do you.
Alex chuckled, "Wait til you taste it. It'll rock your world."
Olivia's mouth dropped open as she fought her mind from going to it's dirty place. If only Alex had heard Olivia's mental dialogue…
Just as Olivia was taking a bite Alex's phone rang in the other room.
"Excuse me," Alex walked out to answer it.
Olivia listened from her stool in the kitchen as she ate the most fantastic French toast she'd ever tasted.
"Yeah, you can drop those by today," Alex told the person on the phone, "I'll be home all day…thanks Cheryl."
Alex walked back into the kitchen and sat on the stool next to Olivia. "So, is it rocking your world?"
"It's rocking my universe," Olivia smiled, "Thanks." She took a sip of her orange juice and asked Alex, "Who was on the phone?"
Alex explained, "The desk clerk at my office, Cheryl. She's going to drop off some case files for me to go over this afternoon."
"Am I boring you already?" Olivia leaned on the counter.
A sweet smile made it's way onto Alex's face as she took Olivia's hand, "Definitely not."
Olivia leaned over and kissed Alex softly, "Good."
Alex bit her lip. Olivia was so sweet and so beautiful. It's cute when she's shy and so sexy when she doesn't even know it. It was all Alex could do to keep her hands to herself.
Olivia reached up and ran her fingers through Alex's long, soft hair. Something she's wanted to do for a while. Alex leaned slightly into the touch and let out a blissful smile.
"You're so beautiful," Olivia whispered.
Alex's heart started racing and butterflies materialized in her stomach. Olivia thought she was beautiful. Sure she'd heard it before from many people, but it meant so much more coming from Olivia. Alex blushed fully, probably for the first time in her entire life.
Olivia brought her hand back up and stroked Alex's cheek with the back of her fingers before gently cupping Alex's cheek.
Alex melted at the tender caresses. It was good thing that she was sitting down or she certainly would have collapsed into a puddle on the floor.
Olivia slid off of her stool and stood in front of Alex, not breaking eye contact. She took a small step forward and captured Alex's lips with her own. Settling between Alex's legs and leaning on the stool Alex was on, Olivia rested the hand not on Alex's face, on the blonde's side.
She slid her hands up Olivia's toned thighs, stopping to place them on Olivia's hips. Alex deepened the kiss, allowing Olivia entrance into her mouth before taking her turn inside Olivia's.
When they pulled away, both were breathless.
Alex laid her head on Olivia's slightly elevated shoulder. She took a deep breath. She was amazed at how Olivia could invade all of her senses at the same time with so much ease.
Olivia stroked Alex's hair again, "Are you okay, baby?"
Alex nodded and pulled away to look at Olivia. "I'm fantastic," she paused watching the relief register in Olivia's eyes. She slid off of her stool as Olivia took a step back. Alex grabbed her hand and pulled her into the living room.
"Okay," Alex opened the cabinet next to the TV, "You can pick out the movie."
Olivia walked over and looked in the cabinet, "Do you have every lawyer movie ever made?"
Alex smiled and sat on the couch, "I think so."
"Ah-ha," Olivia triumphantly pulled a book from the back of the DVD collection, "Canyon High School Yearbook."
Alex's mouth dropped open, "My senior year book?"
Olivia flipped it open, "Where are the Cs?"
Alex snatched the book out of Olivia's hand. "If I let you see it, you have to swear never to tell anyone you got to see it."
"What's wrong with it?" Olivia asked.
Alex flipped to a page and handed it back to Olivia. She immediately spotted Alex's picture and smiled. "You were cute." Alex looked bright-eyed and untainted from the crimes she now sees on a daily basis. Olivia looked at the quote under the picture, "lex non distinguitur nos non distinguere debemus?"
"The law does not distinguish and so we ought not distinguish," Alex replied.
Olivia raised an eyebrow, "Wow, you really stuck by that one huh? I'm sure I've heard that same thing out of your mouth a hundred times."
"I've also been told it at least a hundred times," Alex smiled and took a seat on the couch, "Come sit down."
Olivia carried the book to the couch and sat down. She scanned down again under Alex's quote. It read: Clubs/Organizations:
"Captain of the Speech and Debate team. Attorney General of Student Government," Olivia chuckled, "Wow, you were a nerd."
Alex gently elbowed Olivia in the ribs, trying to pretend to be mad. "I was not a complete nerd. I couldn't go to chess club because it was at the same time as Debate."
Olivia chuckled then opened her mouth to reply, but she heard her phone in the guest room. She trotted off to get it.
"Benson," she answered and started walking back to the living room.
"Hey Liv," Elliot replied, "How's it going?"
"Okay," Olivia raised an eyebrow at Alex who was sitting on the couch and her year book was nowhere to be seen.
"I was wondering if you two wanted to have lunch with us later," Elliot added.
Olivia looked at Alex, "Do we want to have lunch with the guys?"
"Sure," Alex smirked.
"Yeah," Olivia told Elliot, "Where?"
"The deli down the street from the precinct," Elliot replied, "I'll pick you two up at noon."
"We'll be here," Olivia replied, picking up pillows on the back of the couch, looking for the book.
"Okay Liv," Elliot stated, "Bye." He hung up.
Olivia snapped her phone closed and crossed her arms at Alex, "Where is it?"
"Where is what?" Alex asked innocently.
Olivia turned and looked behind the DVDs where she'd found the incriminating book in the first place. It wasn't there. She lifted up a couch cushion and didn't see it.
"I'd like to see your warrant detective," Alex smirked, stretching out the length of the couch.
Olivia licked her lips at the sight before her. Alex's elongated body, her shirt riding up a few inches revealing a toned stomach, her hair splayed on the couch around her in a messy halo.
Alex smirked at the look in the detective's eyes. Lust coupled with wonder and awe filled Olivia's face. And Alex wanted to fill Olivia's every desire. But she couldn't. Not yet.
