"You know what I love about Saturdays?" Olivia said to Casey as the brunette put her head on her wife's shoulder.
"What's that," Casey replied.
"Well, I can just be with you, and not have to worry about anything else. I really love you Casey."
Casey smiled and kissed Olivia's forehead. She then smiled again as she pondered, and then replied to her beautiful wife.
"Well detective, I have been called in on a few Saturdays to charge someone with something, because of *ahem* you."
Olivia laughed. "Well crime doesn't stop! It's not my fault!"
Casey gave Olivia a playful shove. "Well, it looks like today we'll have the day off, and I'm certainly enjoying it!"
The two were in Central Park, just hanging out, and doing some people watching. They both really enjoyed the fact that they could just be and not have to hide anything or be secretive with anyone. Things were actually going remarkably smoothly for both of them at work. People weren't really asking Liv what her situation was, as basically everyone knows how private she is.
Casey was the same story. She worked with a lot of men who were oblivious, and the women in her office really kept to themselves. A few people commented on her engagement and wedding bands, but all they said was "oh, there beautiful" or "man, awesome rock". No one really pried too deeply.
The two were loving this time off to just be with each other. While they loved their life together, and how much time they got to see each other around work, often times it was hard given the very serious subject matter of their jobs. They really cherished this sort of time together.
Olivia put her right hand on Casey's thigh. Casey still felt an insane charge in her body whenever Olivia touched her. The moment she felt Olivia's soft hand she just thought "man, I'm getting turned on…but we can't do anything in the park, can we….?" Olivia then looked at both of her rings once again. "I really, really love these rings, Casey. They're just so beautiful." Casey stared for a second at both of Olivia's rings. They were gorgeous, and she was so proud of them, and especially proud that Olivia decided to wear them at all times.
"Well, you're very welcome detective," Casey said. "But man, finding some ornate jewelry that you would like was damn near impossible! Everything you wear is so simple."
Olivia smiled. "So how did you know I'd like this?"
"You're going to laugh at me if I tell you," Casey responded.
Olivia got a little uncomfortable and slightly upset. She really wouldn't laugh at Casey at all for something like this, and she was surprised that Casey would think she would.
"Casey, baby, I'd never laugh at you…well, not for something like this at least!"
Casey exhaled, and was actually relieved by what Olivia had just said to her. She then began her little story.
"Liv, do you remember the first time you ever met my parents?"
Liv then thought for a second. This was about five years ago at this point, so it was hard to remember specific details.
"Oh God Casey, I sort of remember. That was so long ago now! I really only remember being so ungodly nervous to meet them, and to have them accept me. As you know, I basically don't have any parents, so I wanted to begin to start that sort of relationship with yours…if that makes any sense."
Casey got exactly what Olivia was saying. "Of course that makes sense babe. Anyway, the first time you guys met, you were a nervous wreck. I tried everything to get you to relax, but nothing was working, remember?"
Liv then laughed and responded. "Oh yeah, I remember…"
"So, we get to my parents driveway, and I knock on the door. They take a second to come out, and I laid a huge kiss on you to try to ease your nerves, but that still didn't work."
"Noowwww it's coming back to me….." Liv said.
"So we get inside, and we're making awkward small talk during dinner, and it's so uncomfortable, and then you noticed my mom's earrings….some beautiful, black diamond earrings."
"Yes! I absolutely remember that now. Man, this feels like ages ago at this point."
"Hahaha, it was. But you commented on my mom's earrings, and said how nice they were. Then, my mom took one of them out of her ears and handed it to you, and let you hold it. The image is just tattooed on my brain."
"Wow, Case, you're 100 percent right. I totally remember this now…."
"Haha, I'm sure you do Liv. Anyway, as soon as you held that black diamond, it put you at ease. You relaxed, and loosened up, and my parents loved you. I really knew you were a keeper then. So, i thought to myself 'if I ever get her an engagement ring, it will be something with black diamonds. I want her to always be as comfortable and at ease as she is right now."
Olivia was floored to hear this. She had somewhat forgotten this happened, but Casey really didn't. She loved how Casey remembered such details, and how important the small stuff was to her. "Casey, that's really beautiful. I can't believe you would do something like this for me…"
Casey grinned. "Of course I would silly…I love you!"
Olivia then planted a huge wet kiss on Casey. The two grew a little restless, and decided to get up and walk around the park, holding hands. They just loved that they could do this, and it was absolutely no issue. Though they loved the time the spent together at work, these were the times that they truly relished.
