Olivia tossed a stress ball back to Elliot. They'd been doing it now for a while without talking. Munch and Fin just figured it was a 'Benson/Stabler thing' and left them alone.
"You know tomorrow is going to be the first time me and Alex are apart overnight since we got together," Olivia tossed the ball to Elliot.
Elliot smiled as he caught the ball, "Does that mean you're going to be on the phone all weekend?"
"As long as I have service," Olivia smiled back.
"What if you don't?" Elliot threw the ball.
"Carrier pigeons," Olivia smirked.
Elliot chuckled.
After work, Alex shoved her key into the slot and angrily unlocked the door, mumbling something about slave driving bosses and slimy defense attorneys.
Once the door was open, Alex dropped her briefcase and fell onto the couch. No matter how much work she was going to have to get through this weekend, she wasn't going to do anything else productive for the rest of the night.
Alex laid on the couch in the same position she fell in for about ten minutes before she heard a key in the lock. An immediate smile spread across her face. Olivia was home.
When she swung the door open, Olivia saw Alex laying on the couch, watching her. She waved the flowers in her hand, "I got you something."
Alex stood and walked over to her fiancée, pulling her into a fierce kiss. When it was over, she rested her forehead on Olivia's, "Thank you." Alex took the flowers.
Olivia then turned Alex around so the blonde was facing away from her. "Now go take a long bath and dinner will be ready by the time you get out."
"What?" Alex asked as Olivia started to guide her to the bathroom.
"I heard through the grapevine that you had a bad day," Olivia smiled.
"What grapevine?" Alex asked.
Olivia opened the bathroom door and gently pushed Alex in, "My future sister-in-law. Well, I guess she'll be my deputy-in-law too."
"I should have known," Alex replied turning on the water. She kissed Olivia one more time, "Thanks baby."
When she got out of the bathroom, Alex smelled an amazing smell. After slipping on her now clean softball shirt and some boy shorts, she padded into the kitchen. Inside, the kitchen was a complete wreck, but the sight was one of the cutest Alex had ever seen. Olivia was stirring something in a massive pot with her hair pulled back and a spatula in the other hand just sort of hanging limply in the air.
"Do you need some help?" Alex asked.
Olivia's head snapped up and an immediate smile crossed her face. She put the spatula and the spoon down and walked over to Alex. She rested her hands on Alex's hips and softly kissed her. She gently pushed Alex backward and out of the kitchen. "You don't need to worry about what's going on in there. Relax. You have all weekend unsupervised to catch up on your work."
"How do you know I'll work while unsupervised?" Alex smirked.
Olivia chuckled, "Because I know you and I'm the one who pries the pen out of your exhausted fingers every night."
Alex looked into Olivia's eyes and remembered how every time she did her knees got weak. She slowly wrapped her arms around Olivia's neck. "I love you."
"I love you too sweetheart," Olivia held the blonde's body against her own.
"I don't know if I'll be able to sleep without you," Alex added.
"Me either," Olivia whispered.
Alex chuckled, "When did we become a scene out of a B-romance?"
Olivia smiled, "Since we fell in love."
"Yeah, well…" Alex trailed off. She pulled away from Olivia a little and sniffed the air.
Olivia smelled it too. "Oh shit," she muttered and ran back into the kitchen.
Alex laughed and waited for Olivia to come back out. Instead she heard a series of bangs and clashes followed by another "oh shit" then glass breaking. The smile disappeared from Alex's face and she trotted to the kitchen to make sure Olivia was alright.
When she got there, Olivia was just sort of standing in the kitchen looking at the broken coffee pot laying next to the rest of the coffee maker on the floor. Then here eyes slowly rose from the floor to Alex's face. She had to admit she was a little scared. She had just broken Alex's favorite appliance.
Alex just stood staring at the shattered glass. Then she looked up at Olivia's nervous and borderline frightened face. She slowly smiled.
Olivia let out a sigh of relief.
Alex walked over to the pantry and got out the broom, "You didn't think I was going to kill did you?"
"Not kill," Olivia took the broom from Alex and started cleaning the glass up, "Just maim."
Alex laughed, "We live two blocks from a coffee shop."
"Like you'd walk that far in the morning before coffee," Olivia smirked.
Alex slid up onto the counter and watched Olivia clean up the mess on the floor, "But I know someone who would do it for me."
Olivia swept the glass into the dustpan and dumped it into the trash. She then walked over to Alex and stood between her fiancée's legs. "Really now?"
"Yup," Alex nodded, readjusting her glasses.
"And who might this sweet, amazing woman be?" Olivia smirked.
"I don't think you know her," Alex ran a hand absentmindedly through Olivia's hair.
"And why would she go two blocks in the morning to get coffee?" Olivia rested her forehead on Alex's as her fingers blazed trails up and down Alex's toned thighs.
"Because she broke my coffee maker," Alex deadpanned.
"I'm sorry," Olivia brought her hand up to cup Alex's cheek, "I'll buy you a new one."
"Right now?" Alex asked with a slight smile.
"We might as well," Olivia smirked, "We have to go get something to eat. I burned dinner because someone was distracting me."
"So it's my fault?" Alex raised an eyebrow.
"Well…if you weren't so hot…" Olivia waggled her eyebrows.
"I can't tell if that was a compliment or not," Alex kissed Olivia.
"Definitely a compliment," Olivia smiled. She stepped back and offered Alex a hand to get down.
Alex took Olivia's hand and slid off the counter. They started to walk out of the kitchen, but before they got through the doorway Alex spun around and caught Olivia's lips with her own.
"What was that for?" Olivia asked when Alex pulled away.
"That was for being so sweet and making me dinner, even though you burned it," Alex smiled and sauntered off to get dressed.
Olivia just stood in the doorway watching Alex walk away. She muttered to herself, "How'd I get so lucky?" before trotting off after Alex just in case she needed help getting dress or more importantly undressed.
