Mackenzie hung up the phone with an exacerbated sigh. "Still no answer."

Serena looked at her watch and then turned to Abbie. "It's after noon."

Abbie sighed and checked her own watch. "How many times was that?"

"It was my fifth trying the house. I tried Liv's cell a few times too, but it kept going straight to voicemail."

"Maybe they're out?" Serena suggested.

Abbie gave her a look that said she highly doubted it. "Maybe they're busy." She whispered to Serena.

"Ah . . ."

"What?" Mackenzie asked.

Abbie cleared her throat. "Let's give them a little longer."

-1 Hour Later-

Mackenzie went around back to grab her swimsuit off the line, so Serena used the teen's key to let Abbie and herself into the house. "Olivia? Alex? Anybody home?"

Upstairs

"Did you hear something?" Olivia asked from her position over Alex.

Both were silent for a moment until Alex shook her head. "It was probably just the dog."

Olivia leaned back in. "Yeah, probably. She gets in just as much trouble as her namesake."

"Hey!" Alex swatted Olivia's bare behind. "I will have none of that."

"Ooh . . ." Olivia hissed. "I like 'em feisty."

"I . . . live . . . to . . . comply." Alex murmured in between kissed as Olivia's lips once again captured hers.

Just as Olivia was making her way down Alex's neck and nearing her chest, they both heard a voice.

Olivia looked at the door and then back at Alex. "Dogs talk now?"

"Alex? Olivia?"

"SHIT!" Olivia and Alex both cursed. "It's Serena."

"Since when do dogs sound like 32-year old laywers?" Olivia asked as she rolled off of Alex and frantically started looking for her clothes.

"Since now?" Alex replied. Olivia shot her a dirty look and threw her her bra.

A knock came from the door. "Hey, you guys in here?"

"Yeah, just a sec." Olivia called. Alex looked over at her with a panicked/apologetic look. Olivia's heart melted at the sight and she smiled. "Don't worry about it." She whispered.

A few more seconds of rummaging around the room and Olivia was now fully clothed. After quickly running a brush through her hair, she was presentable.

"I can't find my pants." Alex whispered.

Olivia snickered. "Better for me. Better access."

"No, I'm serious. I highly doubt our daughter would appreciate seeing me like this. You-definitely, Serena-maybe, but Mackenzie-no."

Detective Benson shone through in this moment of difficulty. She steered Alex through the lounge and toward the bathroom where she had just remembered taking the younger woman's pants off the night before. "Just take a shower and then come down in like ten minutes."

"What? Only ten minutes?"

"Shh . . ." Olivia silenced her girlfriend. "We need it to seem like you've been in there for a while."

"Oh."

They kissed and then Alex turned to go into the bathroom, but not before receiving a hard smack on her rear. "Ow . . ."

Olivia began to walk away. "That's for earlier."

As soon as Alex was in the shower and the running water could be heard, Olivia finally opened the door.

"What took you so long?"

"Well it's good to see you too Serena." Olivia paused to insert a fake yawn. "And I was sleeping if you don't mind."

"Where's Alex?"

This time the detective yawned for real. "She's in the shower."

Serena moved away so that Olivia could come out of the room. When she looked away for a split-second, Olivia grabbed a mint off the dresser and popped it into her mouth.

"So," Serena began as she and Olivia made their way down the hall. "what did you and Alex do last night?"

Olivia smirked. "Serena, you have got to stop being so blonde."
