Olivia walked into the kitchen one morning to make her coffee. "Hey." She greeted her roommate who was sitting in the living room eating cereal and watching cartoons.
"Sup."
"Are these new episodes?" Olivia smirked at the high pitch voices coming from their television.
"I don't think so, but they are entertaining." Amanda looked at the brunette being quiet and seeing the look on her face. "Are you going to see her?"
Olivia rolled her eyes, "Yeah." She sighed out.
"How is she doing?"
"She's in rehab, and not happy about it." Olivia explained her situation with her mother. "How would you be doing? I shouldn't even go. It's not like she wants to see me anyways." Olivia walked in the living room with her warm beverage.
"No you should. This is what's best for the both of you. And I think she will thank you later." Amanda paused the animated shows to have a serious conversation with her friend.
Olivia cleared her throat, never liking to be the center of attention. "So have you finally hooked up with Alex yet?"
"I don't think she is into me. Like we had moments before her birthday but no her mind is elsewhere." Amanda confessed. "Why are you into her?"
Olivia looked at one of her best friends and would never want to move in on a girl she liked. "Of course not. She is a spoiled rich kid that thinks the world is about her." Olivia's ego was still upset from Alex telling her opinion doesn't matter because of her job. "Why would I be into that?"
"You're into everyone." She tapped Olivia's shoulder, "But she is really cute." Amanda smirked thinking about the perfect blonde in her sights.
"Just be prepared she seems like a pillow princess." Olivia could just see that everyone falls over her. She could also see herself having fun with a super needy lady.
"Nothing wrong with that," Amanda shook her head, "But you're right I don't think we would be right for each other."
Olivia took a gulp of her coffee, "Doesn't mean you can't one and done her. Everyone gets their rocks off and you can tell if you are a match." Olivia was casual about one night stands. "She clearly likes you at some point so test it out." She thought about Alex's birthday, how tense Alex was with hearing public sex. Alex was so relaxed at the softball field. "But that's if the princess can handle a hook up." Olivia looked at her watch. "I've got to go."
"Are you still making drinks at the pool party?"
"I already said I would." Olivia smiled at her roommate. "I will see you later."
Casey sat down next to Trevor as they watched Alex skate horribly. "What's wrong with her?"
"She's throwing a fit about her music." Trevor informed the redhead.
"Why she's never argued with Jane's music selection before?" Casey was trying to understand what was going on with her friend on the ice.
"Oh she didn't hear her last night?" Trevor asked the person that shares the same apartment with her.
"Hear what, She said she didn't sleep last night going over all of her programs. She called me at three this morning, she was wired." Trevor was filling in Casey in on the gossip. He saw the blue eyes fell concerned, "Yeah some chick that she met at her twenty first told her the other day that her programs were boring. And that the music selection was novice."
Casey watched Alex skate away from coach Donnelly. Alex nailed her foot work with no surprise. She positioned herself into a Lutz. She lifted her arms above her head as she spun three times in the air. Alex fumbled her landing.
"What the hell was that!" Donnelly yelled. "We did not discuss above the head arm jumps. We are here to be consistent. We are not here to be flashy. Consistency will get you a fourth win!"
"That looked beautiful Al." Casey yelled across the rink.
Alex smiled at seeing her two best friends watching her. She skated over to Elizabeth, "What if I want flashy. I want to change my music. I don't want classical this season."
"Are you rebelling now that you are twenty one? Why are we going to change something that isn't broken?" Elizabeth cupped Alex's cheek.
"I'm twenty one, and I would like to please the audience not just make great scores with the judges." Alex firmly stated hearing Olivia say that her programs were boring.
Donnelly looked at the young skater. She watched Alex grow up since she was eight years old. They do what Jane says. Alex's parents paid the bills for the longest time until she got major endorsements. They were used to listening to Jane's orders. "Okay."
"Okay?" Alex getting Elizabeth's approval meant more to her than her friends and her parents. Elizabeth was a better mother to her than Jane was.
"Yeah, this is your season. Whatever you choose this will be all you." Donnelly held Alex's hands. "It's an Olympic year. Do you want to challenge the judges and your mom?" She saw the mark on her neck, knowing challenging Jane isn't always the best idea. "When did you do that?"
"It's not that bad. But I want to be the best all around." She squeezed Elizabeth's hand.
"Okay. We're done today."
Alex was confused with that command, "What?"
"Take the rest of the day." Elizabeth looked back at the duo. "Clear your head. I will see you Monday. With your music selection. I will talk to the choreographer we have work to do."
"Thank you." Alex smiled, pulling in Donnelly for a hug.
"But if you can't come in Monday and land any of your jumps. We are going to have a serious problem."
"Yes ma'am." Elizabeth grabbed her things. She waved the duo over to talk to Alex, before leaving.
Alex stepped off the ice and took off her boots. "Do even start." Alex refused to look at the two.
"Oh we are. You are coming to this pool party where Olivia is going to be there." Casey commanded Alex.
"Fuck her." Alex immediately shouted out. "She is the reason why I was garbage out there."
"No, you're going so I can go. I need to meet this person who has messed with your head this hard." Trevor needed to know things.
"Oh she's gorgeous, she could get in anyone's head." Casey observed the whole situation.
Alex wanted to know everything about Olivia. She also wanted nothing to do with her. "She's a bitch." Alex shook her head to try to get her mind off of Olivia.
"Why because she's honest."
"Casey, she slept with you and you are defending her?"
Trevor smiled and got bigger. "Was she good?"
Casey put her hand up at Trevor, "No, I only wanted to get laid. If she doesn't matter." She sat down next to Alex. "Why is she affecting your skating, if skating critics can't affect you then why her?"
Alex couldn't explain her emotions. She didn't know how to describe that Olivia has made her weak in the knees, made her heart race, and she lost her breath. She didn't understand how someone who could do all of that could piss her off. "Fine, we'll go."
Alex, Trevor, and Casey walked into the pool party organized by the softball team. Everyone was in their bathing suits, swimming. There was food on the grill. People were doing jello shots in the daylight. Alex spotted the outdoor bar that Olivia was standing behind playing with the blender. She noticed the girls and one guy standing around the bar.
"Hello, who is that piece of man candy." Barba asked Olivia as he raised his brow to the man standing in his trunks next with that defined abs.
"Why don't you go talk to him?" Olivia laughed at her friend. She saw the blonde in the direction of Barba's eyes.
"Only if you come with me." Rafael turned to his companion.
Olivia rolled her eyes, "I'm making drinks." Olivia was content being behind the bar.
"You're not working. Let's go get a hotdog." Barba cocked his brow as he stuck his tongue out.
"Olivia if you're not too busy. Can you make me an amazing drink like you did at my party." Alex stepped next to Rafael. She leaned on the counter. She made her sure arms pushed her breasts up.
Olivia turned to Alex. She quickly noticed the beautiful indent on Alex's chest. She made sure to make no facial change as she checked out Alex, "Actually I'm going to get a burger." She found the promising blue eyes. Olivia didn't want to make Alex another drink after her comment the other day. She stood next to Rafael. "Would you like to join us." She looked over to the six foot seven green eyed man. "Your friend too."
"Trevor Langan." He stuck his hand out to shake Olivia's hand.
"Olivia." She gave a firm shake.
"A nice firm shake. You know what they say about people who shake like that?" Olivia's eyes gestured for him to finish the statement. "You can trust them over a dainty shake."
"Okay. Food?" Olivia quickly locked arms with Barba to go to grab food.
Olivia was the only one in the group that grabbed the burger. Trevor and Barba got their hotdogs. "Are you not eating anything?" Olivia asked the blonde.
"I'm a vegetarian." Alex explained.
"We've got cashew mac and cheese." Olivia calmly suggested. "Or will that mess up your strict diet?"
Alex finally locked eyes with Olivia. Alex was trying to figure out what Olivia's next move was. "I'm allowed a cheat day."
Olivia gave Alex a warming smile. She lowered her voice. "That's good, you can always use a day where you can indulge in your deepest pleasures."
Alex wanted to tell Olivia off after her morning in training. "And… What's your deepest pleasure today?" She forgot there were other people around them at the moment.
"I think." Olivia's tongue wet her lips. She cocked her brow. "I think that little nugget." She pointed over to the blonde Kathy Stabler.
Alex was upset that she pointed out a blonde hair, blue eye woman., but she wasn't Olivia's type. "Nice." She chuckled out. "And if you think I were to be with anyone here for one night? Who would it be."
Olivia found Alex completely adorable in the moment. "Amanda," She refused to let Alex know any of her feelings.
"Really why?"
"Because two have looked at each other many times. I think it's time." Olivia explained to Alex.
That wasn't the explanation Alex wanted, but maybe being in Amanda's bed with a heat of passion couldn't hurt anyone. "Maybe you're right." Alex looked up at Olivia up and down before walking away from the two.
Barba watched Trevor walk with Alex. He stared at Olivia, "What the hell was that?"
"Alexandra Cabot." Olivia sighed out as her heart sank into her gut.
"Amanda's Alex?"
She nodded to Barba's question. She looked at the judgmental look Barba gave her, "What? She's cute."
"Has Amanda seen you two together because she was ready to pounce you." Barba could still feel the heat between the two.
"No she hasn't. And she won't. Because nothing is there." Olivia walked away from her friend to go talk to Kathy Stabler.
Alex sat down next to Amanda as she had dagger eyes on Olivia. She watched Olivia tuck Kathy's hair behind her hair. Olivia caught the eyes as Kathy began to kiss Olivia's neck. Their eyes were locked from across the room. Alex's jealousy was screaming in her head. She quickly pulled Amanda for a lip lock to see Olivia's reaction. Olivia loved a good mind fuck but not going to interfere with her best friend's girl. She broke their contact to walk Kathy to the hot tub.
