"Alexandra Cabot!" Cameron's sing song voice came from the doorway of the ADA's bedroom, "I got you breakfast."

It took Alex, who was asleep before Cameron called from her door, a few minutes to figure out what was going on. As soon as she realized it was her sister and that it was six am, Alex rolled over and groaned, "Remind me to take away your key."

Cameron knew the only way to persuade Alex out of bed before seven was coffee and she anticipated this, bringing her big sister's favorite coffee. She trotted back to the bedroom with the hot coffee in her hand. Sitting down next to her sister she held the coffee between her hands as she crossed her legs in front of her.

Alex felt the weight of Cameron on her bed and rolled over to face her sister, "How are you awake?"

"Lots and lots of coffee," Cameron smiled, handing the coffee over.

"When did you wake up?" Alex asked, blowing on her coffee.

Cameron pretended to think, looking at the ceiling. "Yesterday."

The older blonde raised an eyebrow, "You haven't been to bed yet?"

Her sister shook her head. "I'm too excited." Knowing that her sister was going to ask, "I sold every single painting on the wall."

"That's great," Alex beamed, so proud of her sister, "How much?"

"That's not important," Cameron chuckled, "What is important is that I'm taking you and Olivia to dinner."

At the mention of the detective's name, Alex sighed and looked down.

"Lex," Cameron urged her sister, "What happened?"

"I, sort of um…kissed her? Then I ran off," Alex stated, hanging her head.

Cameron sighed, "Lex, you have to stop doing that. You need to let yourself go. Repeat after me. Let. Go."

"I'm trying, but I have to go to work today and I need to prep her with her testimony in my case tomorrow," Alex let her head lull back on the headboard, "So what do I do?"

"Kiss her again," Cameron stood up, "And don't be drunk."

"That wasn't my fault," Alex raised an eyebrow at Cameron, "You kept handing me champagne and before I knew it…"

"Yeah, but I gave you the opportunity to make a move on Olivia and you blew it," Cameron started walking to the door, "Now I have to extend my plan." As she started to walk out the door, Cameron turned around, "I forgot about a pottery class I'm teaching at the community college in downtown. I need you to come."

"Why?" Alex asked, sipping her coffee.

"There's an empty seat and I hate when there's an empty pottery wheel," Cameron leaned on the doorframe, "It looks bad. Please please please."

"Fine," Alex shrugged, "Stop begging."

"You're the best."

"I know," the ADA muttered before getting out of bed to get read for the day.

The second she walked into her office, Alex was summoned by Jack McCoy to talk about a new higher profile case that didn't involve the sex crimes unit. She agreed to take it on and McCoy hinted at her succeeding him as EADA when he assumed the title of District Attorney in a few day.

The promise of a new work load and having to leave behind the sex crimes unit weighted down on her. She didn't want to leave sex crimes. That was were she felt she belonged.

Before she knew it lunch had passed and four thirty had crept up on her. She rested her head on her desk from exhaustion. She was going to make sure to glare at the teacher from the back of the pottery class.

There were two knocks on her door and she called, "C'min," before thinking about it.

Her heart nearly stopped when Olivia stepped in. "I hope I'm not interrupting." The detective was cautious wondering if Alex even remembered kissing her the night before.

Alex glanced at the clock, "Oh no. I totally lost track of time."

"Have you eaten?" Olivia asked, immediately concerned.

After thinking for a moment Alex shook her head, "I don't think so."

"Do you want me to get you something?" the detective offered.

The blonde smiled, "No thanks. I'll get something after this." She rubbed her eyes, "So what case were we on?"

"Brendlin," Olivia stated, sitting professionally across from Alex.

"Oh yeah," Alex dug in her desk for a folder and pulled it out, "Okay. I'll call you to the stand blah blah blah and the defense attorney had already promised to try to dig up anything she can on you and Elliot so if there's any discretions that I don't already know about please let me know."

Olivia thought for a while, "I think you know everything there is to know about me."

Alex slid her glasses on and made a note in the file, "Okay, take me through the case. Step by step."

Olivia explained everything she could remember and then consulted her notes. When she was done, Alex set her pen down and leaned back in her chair, "Thank you." She slid off her glasses and rubbed her eyes.

"Are you okay?" Olivia asked, hoping that Alex would bring up the night before.

The woman across the desk nodded, "Cameron just decided to wake me up at six am."

"Why?" the detective raised an eyebrow.

"She sold all her paintings," Alex couldn't stop a smile.

The smile spread to Olivia's face, "That's fantastic."

Alex's smiled faded as her thoughts returned to the night before. She looked over at Olivia that was looking at her. When she opened her mouth to explain Olivia's phone rang.

The detective pulled out her phone and looked at the screen. She stood and looked at Alex, "I have to take this, but will you call me tonight at about nine? I wanted to talk to you."

"Sure," Alex nodded, almost sure that Olivia wanted to talk about their kiss.

With that, Olivia walked out to answer her phone.

Alex rubbed her eyes again and sighed. It had been a long day. A long, long day that started way too early.

Before she knew it, Alex was already walking down the sterile hallway of the small college. She liked that Cameron liked to teach art and that she didn't do it for the money. She did it for the love of it.

She immediately spotted her sister when she walked into the small room. Most of the people sitting at the potters wheels were older women, but some were of average college age and everyone was facing Cameron who was sitting on the only desk in the room.

"Hey Lex," she smiled as Alex walked over to her, "I saved you a wheel in the back so you an make mean faces and no one else will see you."

"Thanks," Alex smiled wearily.

"I'm glad you changed," Cameron indicated Alex's jeans and long sleeved navy blue shirt, "This gets messy. I'm taking you to dinner after this by the way."

"Good. You owe me for waking me up before dawn," Alex smirked and walked to the back, taking a seat on a stool behind a wheel. She'd been to her sister's pottery classes before so she had a basic grasp of what she was doing. As she put up her hair, she heard her sister say, "I'm so glad you could make it."

Alex looked up and was stunned to see Detective Olivia Benson. Olivia smiled at Cameron who motioned to the seat next to Alex. When Olivia followed Cameron's gesture she locked eyes with the blonde ADA. They were both frozen in place.

Cameron grinned wickedly and turned to the class, "If you'll all take your seats, we'll start."

Olivia gained motor functions again and silently made her way to the back of the class next to Alex, suddenly feeling like she was in high school again. She sunk onto the stool next to Alex and took a deep breath. They weren't at work anymore with cases to hide behind. It was awkward beyond awkward and Alex tried her best not to look at Olivia.

From the front of the classroom, Cameron paused in her brief lecture to look at Alex and Olivia who were trying desperately not to look at each other. She turned to the board and rolled her eyes. She muttered, "They're like teenagers." Before continuing to teach the class.


Quick question....does anyone know of any good Alex/Serena fics? I think I've read like two and completely loved them, but I can't find any more. Is it me or is there none out there? Thanks for your answered and reviews.
