AN: Ooooh man I read the first 5 chapters of this story again and I am so embarassed! I feel they are so poorly written and I had no idea what I was doing. Lots of spelling or grammar errors, wow. I might re-write them when I finish the whole fanfic. Anyway! What we came here for now, we have a lesbian couple to get together!

Short chapter, I know. Maybe a bit fast, sorry. I just started highschool today so there's some madness. I hope you enjoy anyway! Stay alert for the next. :)

Chapter 14: The Years

Olivia slammed the door loudly behind her, she dropped all her things to the floor and walked angrily towards the other woman. She stood in front of her.

"Speak" she said dryly.

Alex gulped, but immediately understood what Olivia was doing, she was playing courtroom to intimidate her, but she would never let that happen. "Look I'm still not sure myself what it is but..."

"Wrong answer from the beginning, you can't start an argument with look, well or hey" Olivia interrupted. "I'll tell you what it is. It's called 'I'm going to be thrown out, left homeless, so I might as well get off my problem if I don't waste my chance to take an advantage of what this woman told me'. But guess what detective? This woman is the best SVU attorney and one of the best general attorneys in the whole city, so you will not fool me, no. I don't think so and you don't 'think you too' so please just leave me alone to let me overcome this myself"

"No, can you just listen? This is you, this has always been you, all this years I've known you. So stubborn, so closed and so afraid. As soon as something comes up you with your impossible clevverness shut anyone up and lock yourself in a room that no one had a key to! Even Elliot or Melinda, they just have a minimum access by a window or something. This time just listen, if you let me finish you can throw me out or runaway or god knows what. Are we good?" Alex said.

Olivia nodded and sat down on the one story couch in front of the blonde, she sighed and rested her arms on her sides. "Enlighten me, please" she replied sarcastically.

"Okay. Here is the thing: You know I'm known to be a forgetful person in the squad, the boys always make fun of me for that and stuff. I have realised I tend to forget things selectively. I don't forget what my car looks like because I need it but I always forget the name of the man from the coffee shop because even if he tells me every day I frankly couldn't care less, or I sometimes forget that I can get asthma attacks if I run too much because it's embarassing for my job" she looked up to Olivia waiting for an answer, but when she saw her blank expression she decided to keep talking. "But then I remember the asthma attacks when I start having trouble to breathe or when I feel the inhalor inside my purse's outside pocket. I have been embarassed for years to accept who I am because coming from such a conservative family any desition was wrong. You're rich, you marry rich, you breed rich. That's the Cabots for you. But Olivia it's you, it's always been you, ever since that first day I met you in court. But I was ashamed so I forgot, I brainwashed myself pretending to love Daniel and all the men before without feeling a thing. But again you, you said it, you meant it, you left, I thought and I remembered. And I love you, Olivia Benson, I love you"

"Don't, just don't. I don't believe you with your lovely speech, I just don't. And don't you dare say you love me. One second you are Miss. Barbie heterosexual and then poof you say you're not" Olivia said.

"Haven't you listened?"

"Yeah, sure, forgetting because you are ashamed. Look sister, I won't buy it"

Alex sighed. "Why must you be so stubborn, you always win and you always have to, tell you what: you are winning. Here's the thing Olivia, I have had a week to see what it is to live with you, to see your face first hour in the morning and see how amazing you look even them, I have seen what it is to have breakfast with you, I have seen how we look walking together in the park, I have felt our hands holding and how they fit perfectly. And you know what? I want that. I want to live with you, I want to wake up to you by my side, I want to have breakfast with you, I want to walk together and hold your hand"

"Why are you doing this to me?" Olivia asked, she had to stop being so stubborn, there was the love of her life asking her to share a living with her, she couldn't say no, it didn't matter how fast or how it had happened, it just had. "What do you want Alex?"

"You, I want you. No more forgetting" Alex smiled. "What do you say?"

Olivia shook her head. "No"

"Excuse me?"

"Just... no. It's all just gone wrong, it's too easy and it wasn't supposed to go like this. I was supposed to make you fall in love with me and ask you on a date and after some while welcome you to live with me. But we are just backwards, aren't we?" Olivia looked into the deep electric blue eyes. "What do you want me to say? You're giving a kid his favorite chocolate"

"Why do you want it to be hard?" Alex asked.

"Because it's more rewarding"

"You made me fall in love with you" Alex said in a soft voice after a short pause.

Olivia shook her head. "I didn't"

"Yes you did. With your little smiles and your laughs when you thought I wasn't around, with your blushing or trouble talking when in front of me"

Olivia couldn't contain herself anymore, she quickly rose from her seat and pressed her lips against the blonde's with the hardest impact, Alex fell on her back to the couch and Olivia finally got to kiss the lips she had desired for such a long time. She felt her body heat with the violence of flames and her heart exploding inside her chest. The blonde's lips tasted even better than what she had imagined, sweet like a spring morning. Her legs started to fail her, and in the worry of falling on top of the other woman she broke the kiss abruptly.

Alex sucked a long, strong breath through her moth that she had held the entire kiss, she looked up at the brunette who was standing with her eyes widely open and brough her left hand to her lips. She smiled and stood up to hug Olivia tightly.

"I'm sorry for the years" she said. "But I promise I will do my best to make the next completely worth the long wait"
