Chapter 4Accidentally In Love

So she said, "what's the problem baby?"
What's the problem, I don't know
Well maybe I'm in love (love)
Think about it every time
I think about it
Can't stop thinking 'bout it

How much longer will it take to cure this
Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)
Makes me wanna turn around and face me but I don't know nothing 'bout love

Come on, come on
Turn a little faster
Come on, come on
The world will follow after
Come on, come on
Cause everybody's after love

So I said I'm a snowball running
Running down into the spring that's coming all this love
Melting under blue skies
Belting out sunlight
Shimmering love

Well baby I surrender
To the strawberry ice cream
Never ever end of all this love
Well I didn't mean to do it
But there's no escaping your love

These lines of lightning
Mean we're never alone,
Never alone, no, no

Come on, Come on
Move a little closer
Come on, Come on
I want to hear you whisper
Come on, Come on
Settle down inside my love

Come on, come on
Jump a little higher
Come on, come on
If you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on
We were once
Upon a time in love

We're accidentally in love
Accidentally in love

Accidentally

I'm In Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
Accidentally

Come on, come on
Spin a little tighter
Come on, come on
And the world's a little brighter
Come on, come on
Just get yourself inside her

Love ...I'm in love

Counting Crows

Munch had sent the letter express, so it had reached Alex the next day. She had called Cragen and told him that she'd be happy to come back. Now, two days later, Munch was driving to the airport to pick her up, accompanied by Olivia, Elliot, Fin, and Huang."

"Hey, Munch, you look kinda nervous..." Olivia commented. Then she grinned evily, "Is it because of Alex? Do you like her?" Munch grumbled, "What are we, in 9th grade?" "He's blushing," Fin commented. Munch glared at him, "I am not blushing."

"It's simply a classic case of denial," Huang begun, as Munch pulled up to a parking space, and everyone got out of the car. Munch rolled his eyes, and muttered under his breath, "Here we go again." "You have antisocial behavior and your own feelings astonish you so much, that you tend to deny your actual emotions, therefore--" But Huang said no more, as Munch had just hailed a taxi, and shoved the smaller man into the passenger seat, telling the driver where to take him.

Everybody watched the taxi drive off with a stunned Huang in the back. Then they all headed into the airport.

They were a little late, but Alex was waiting for them, smiling. When she saw them, she ran up to Olivia, and gave her a hug, then Elliot, then Fin. Finally she gave Munch a hug, and whispered in his ear, "I liked your letter." Munch blushed, but nobody noticed.

"Where's Huang?" Alex asked, as they were walking out, "You said he was coming."

"Munch shoved him into a random taxi," Elliot explained. "Oh yeah? Where to?" Alex sounded more curious than worried.

"To the precinct," Munch chuckled, "But honestly, I hope the driver takes a wrong turn, and we never see him again."

"John..." Alex gave him a disapproving look, but Munch shrugged, "What? You don't like him either." "It's not that I don't like him, it's just that he has a tendency to analyze everything and get into other's personal lives," Alex answered, although adding as an afterthought, "Though I suppose he means well."

They all got into the car, and drove Alex to the precinct so she could see Cragen before she went to her hotel. Cragen gave her a hug, and then said, "Great to have you back, but there's something we need to discuss."

"Sure," Alex said, leaning up against a desk. "Well, I'm still worried about you," Cragen said, "Because this will never truly be over. So, I've decided that John will be your body guard, unless if he has a case, and keep watch over you."

"Body... guard...?" Munch and Alex both said in unison. They looked at each other. Cragen nodded, "Sorry, Alex, but that's how it's got to be."

"Well..." Alex shrugged, "It won't be so bad. At least it's John." Alex smiled at him. Munch smiled a little, "Right. But you probably want to get to your hotel, right Alex? Come on, I'll drive you."

Munch followed Alex to the front desk to check in, and then they both went up to Alex's room. Munch said, "So... What now?" "Well, I'm going to get changed... And then, I don't know," Alex answered. Then she retreated into the bathroom.

When she came out, she was wearing a deep blue tank top, and a flowy blue skirt. Her high-heels were sky blue, and it all went beautiful with her eyes. She smiled at Munch, "Ready to go?"

Munch tried his best not to stare, "I... uh... yeah... You want to go to the park?" Alex smiled, "Sure. How do I look?" "Amazing," Munch answered truthfully. The two walked outside, and into a park where most of the SVU team went when they needed time to think. Under the shade of trees, there was a river, and lush grass (nobody had a clue as to what this small haven was doing in NYC, but most likely it was manmade).

Alex sat down at the river edge, trailing her hand in the water. Munch watched her. Alex looked up, "How've you been doing, Munchkin?" Munch gave her look, "Hey... What did I say about calling me that, Ali?" "Well, what did I say about calling me that?"

"Okay, okay, fair enough... Ali," Munch grinned, and Alex threw water at him. It hit him in the face, and she laughed, as he spluttered, "That was uncalled for!" "You brought it upon yourself, John Munch!" Alex declared.

Munch smiled, "You know, Alex... You've changed a lot." "Oh, I have not," Alex said defiantly, "You just never saw the fun side of me." "What about that time when you kissed Fin? That was pretty fun to watch. He never saw it coming." "That was on a dare!"

Munch laughed, "Yeah, but it was still funny." Alex smiled a little, and took off her high heels, slipping into the river (which was waist-high, and even though she was wearing clothes, still).

Munch gave her a strange look, "What are you doing?" Alex grabbed his tie, "Come on, Munchkin! When's the last time you had some fun?" She pulled him into the water. Munch fell face-first into the river. When he resurfaced, Alex was laughing.

Munch watched her, taken by her beauty. Her long blonde hair hung in wet locks, framing her pale face and striking blue eyes. Her smile was beautiful, and suddenly, Munch fell in love.

"Hey, John?" Alex asked, "Are you okay?" "Uh... Yeah... Fine..." Munch shook his head, then grinned, and splashed her. Alex shrieked, and splashed him back.

+.XXXXX.+

Munch and Alex sat on the band of the river, drying off. Night had come, and it was warm.

"Remember that time when Huang was annoying you, so you told him Dr. Phil was signing copies of books at Borders?" Munch asked. Alex grinned, "That was funny. I can't believe he actually fell for it, and went all the way to Borders."

They both sat in silence for a little. Munch looked up at the stars. It was almost like a dream, sitting there with Alex.

Alex turned to him, "...John? What's the matter?" "Huh?" John asked. "You've been quiet for the past few minutes."

"Oh... Nothing, just... thinking," John answered. He looked into the water and saw a blue flower growing there, among the rocks. He picked it, and said, "Hey, Alex, look at this."

He gave her the flower. "Wow... It's beautiful," Alex breathed. John nodded, "Like you." He gently pulled the flower from her grasp, and tucked it behind Alex's ear. Then, he stood up, "We should get going." He extended his hand to her. Alex took it, and John helped her out.

John looked at her for a moment. She was blushing slightly. She looked so pretty...

They walked back to Alex's hotel, and Alex said, "Well... I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Munch nodded, "Yeah... I guess so."

Alex turned, and started to walk up the steps, but Munch called, "Wait, Alex--" Alex turned, "Yeah?" "Sweet dreams, Ali-cat," He grinned. Alex smiles, "Right back atcha, Munchies."
