AN: Totally appreciate everyone's reviews :) Make me happy. Well then, read on.

"Hey," She smiles as she locks the door, "You have a little something on your cheeks. Let me get that." She reaches out to clean something off my face.

"Someone one sent me these flowers. It says 'thank you.' They must really know me to get me white chocolate, right?" I inform her.

She suddenly get this sly smile on her face, "I actually sent that to you. I want to thank you for getting me off probation."

I am surprised she even remembered...Wait I don't think I ever told her, "Casey, thank you. You didn't have to do this…"

She hugs me and smiles, "I just wanted to thank you…for everything. You made my day."

"Aww, the flowers smell beautiful. Thank you." She brings me to the sofa.

"Welcome…I actually have to tell you something…" She loses the smile and I actually start to get worried.

I withhold a tear that tries to escape as I think the worse. What if she is breaking up with me? What am I to do?

"What?" Is all I can drag out.

"I am going on vacation…with Olivia…next week…" She pauses.

I can't stand the thought of my redhead on vacation with Olivia. I fell so depressed now… I do not know why? Maybe because of the impending break up I will receive once she comes back.

"I love you…as much as I do…I want to see where Olivia and I stand. Whether it is staying engaged or over…I plan on telling her about us…" She assures me.

I smile on the inside, "Did you talk to her?"

"Yeah, a couple hours ago…she came to my office…She…"

"You don't have to explain anything to me…I am the one who is helping you cheat…so if you want to hang with your fiancé, I totally get it." I interrupt her and roam my thumb over her knuckles.

"Thanks. Look Olivia is not going to be home tonight so we can go to your house…"

"Yea, let me grab some chocolates and we will be on our way." I get up, head to my desk, and place the articles in my bag.

"Let me head to my office. And grab some stuff. You really like that stuff, huh?"

"Yea." I smiled.

My House

Once I get home…I just want to talk about her decision to tell Olivia. I am more that excited…I am eccentric, delirious, and just plain happy, that Casey decided to tell Olivia. One step closer to my redheads heart.

"Can we finish what we started at your office?" I ask her and I stand up from the couch.

"We can do whatever you want." She has this huskiness to her voice, more sensual and lustful, than normal. She pulls me in close, slowly lets her hand trail down my back, and places her forehead on mines.

"So you are really going to tell Olivia about us?" I ask her again, "you don't think she will go crazy?"

"I don't know…it's scary…I know it's going to hurt her, but its better that I tell her than she finding out herself." She obviously has something else in mind as she leans to kiss me.

I really want to talk about this, and even though I love the kiss, I break it."You think we would have a chance…I mean, you think she will forgive you?"

She moves me towards the wall. "I think that we should forget about it until it happens." Her eyes are full of lust and she starts kissing my neck.

"mmm…it affects me….mmm…case…stop….stop…" I squirm.

"This is such a great moment and you ruin it because you are a little nosy. I hate dating Lawyers…they always ask questions." She finds this as a fun game, not a serious conversation, so she leans in a kiss me again.

"You hate yourself? Look can we just talk…" I gaze at the floor.

She lets it go, but when I look up, she has this puzzled look on, "Talk about what? How much we love each other? How much we mean to one another?"

I glare at her.

"Ok…we can 'talk'." She isn't happy about it, however it is important to me.

I take her hand and lead her to the bedroom. I signal her to get in. She faces me.

Then the though hits me, if she and Olivia are going on a vacation…then I must propose before Olivia can take her from me. I need to order that ring and get everything together before…

I hear Casey mumble, "Ok…are you getting on the bed?" I heard it, but my thoughts are on proposing to my love.

"Alex!" Casey snaps at me.

"Sorry, I forgot to do something. It can wait…" Startled, I quickly got in bed and laid on her chest…Where I feel warm and secure.

"Ok…what is up?" she acquiesces.

"Olivia…look I just want to say that you are being placed in a tough spot. You are brave. I don't want you to get hurt by all this if it was essentially my fault." I worriedly explain.

Week Later

Today is the day that Casey leaves on vacation. Not only do I have to do double the casework, I have to spend a whole week without my redhead. I did not think it was possible that I can stand a week without her, better yet a day.

I have yet to go to my psychologist and I have an appointment today. I obviously have to mentally prepare myself, if he inquires about my relationship with Casey. I do not think I am ready for the prodding, but I can be.

I have not talked to Casey about my appointments and she should know. Maybe, just maybe, I can cease my sessions with Dr. Grey once Casey and I are together.

I did not get to say my goodbye to Casey and it is weird being in my office without her popping her head in… or me walking down the hall to see her.

Once I am done with my cases, I head to Dr. Grey's office.

He looks like he has been waiting for me. I breathe in and shut the door behind me.

I fix my glasses above my nose and take a seat. This time I will let him lead. I will speak only when I want to.

"Long time no see." He smiles slightly.

I nod.

"Well, what do you have on your mind?" He asks.

"Casey." I answer.

He glares at me, imploring me to go on. "What about Casey?" he finally speaks.

"I miss her," I breathe shakily.

"Oh…you are not together anymore?" he asks slowly and with caution.

I lift my hands and wave them, "No…nothing like that…She went on vacation with Olivia…"

He nods and scribbles something on his pad. "How do you feel about Casey and Olivia alone… together…on vacation?" He asks.

"Well," I guess speaking in one worded sentences went out the door, "I hate it…I wish she was only mine…but that's not my reality…Look, I already hate coming here, and you giving me these harsh glances, make it worse…I know you don't approve of my relationship with Casey…but you can't choose who you fall in love with." I breathe in and I rise to exit the short-lived conversation.

"Alex…It is not my place to judge, only to listen and please sit down." His voice was inviting but he did not crack a smile, however I sat back down to endure his line of questioning like a perp that the SVU squad would tear apart.

The session went by in a timely manner and I departed slightly happier. I spoke about my plan to ask Casey to marry me once she comes back.

As I exit the building and head to the parking lot, Casey calls.

I fumble between my keys at hand and the phone and place it in my ear.

"Hey, Lex. It's me Casey."

My heart is rapidly beating outside my chest and I try to contain my happiness.

"Oh, hey," I shut the door to the car as I enter in. "I already miss you." I smile even though she cannot see it.

"I miss you too. We just arrived. Olivia is sleeping. I am hoping we get enough strength to do something today…" her voice is quivering.

"What's going on? Are you afraid? Your voice…it's a little shaky" I tell her.

"I don't know…I am afraid to tell her…how would that make you feel? Hey we are on vacation and I tell you I am cheating…doesn't sound like what a normal person plans…"

"Hey, you will be great just…tell her how you feel…I haven't been to Florida in this time of year…is it beautiful?" I try to change the subject.

I hear a muffled, "Hey, who are you talking to?" I know that it was Olivia's voice.

"Hey, look I will call you later about the case. Alright…bye." Without a word from me she shuts the phone off abruptly.

AN: What do you think? Like?
