Authors Note: Thank you to all those who reviewed and put this on their alert list. This chapter is Alex and Carolyn talking after Logan said "Also you two are out dates for the party."


"Wait, we are their what?" Alex asked shocked as Logan and Bobby walked out of the squad room.

"They actually think we are their dates for the dance. Did someone hit them on the head or do they really think that we will go along with that?" Carolyn said shaking her head in disbelief at what Logan had said as she gathered up her things along with Alex.

"I'm going to go with someone hitting them over the head," Alex said wondering if the guys really meant it as she grabbed her things and started walking out of the room towards the elevator with Carolyn by her side.

"I know I won't mind going with Logan. He's kind of cute, hot body, tight ass, and not too bad on the eyes either." Carolyn said honestly, shocking Alex in the process.

"I know you like him and all but I had no idea you liked him that much. He's a bit too much to me, he's creepy and a jerk." Alex said

"He's not that creepy and he's not really a jerk, you just have to know how to handle him. It's the same way people look at your and Bobby's relationship, you're the only one that can handle him and hasn't left after a week." Carolyn said as she walked into the elevator pressing the button for the garage as the rest of the people got off of the elevator leaving the two women alone.

"Bobby and I get each other, his other partners just didn't want to stick around to figure him out. You have to just be patient and respect for him, if you listen and I mean really listen to him then you will get where he's coming from," Alex said looking at Carolyn knowing she didn't have to censor what she said around her friend.

"It might be that, but it's also the fact that you two are just so in love with each other that you have that connection that very few couples have. You know, trust and care for him just like he does for you. You both won't say anything because your afraid the other doesn't feel the same." Carolyn said knowing she's speaking the truth and hopefully finally got into the detective's head.

"Of course we care, trust and know each other we are friends and partners nothing more. We never have been and never will be in love with each other. We are friends and we wouldn't let some stupid fling mess us up." Alex said lying knowing she has been in love with Goren since day one.

"You forgot something Alex," Carolyn said looking at Alex knowing she caught the other detective in the lie.

"What is that Caro?" Alex asked not liking the suspicious grin on the woman's face.

"I am a woman also, I can see past your lie. I know you love Bobby, it's the same way I feel about Mike." She said looking at Alex with a small smile as they stepped off the elevator and walked towards their cars that were parked next to each other.

"Alright I love him you know that, are you happy now? I admitted it to you and myself." Alex said as she got her keys out along with Carolyn as they began to open their car doors.

"Almost happy, you just have to admit your love to him," Carolyn said smirking at Alex as she threw her bag into the car.

"That's not going to happen so keep dreaming. What do you want to go as for tonight's dance?" Alex said trying to change the subject from her and Bobby.

"I know exactly what we should dress as. It's about four-thirty now so come over at about six-thirty and we can get ready." She said still smirking knowing exactly what they could dress as.

"Do I even want to know?" Alex said curiously as she looked at Carolyn with her eyebrows raised.

"Maybe, you will see. All I will say is we will get our guys tonight." Barek said as she began getting into her car.

"Alright, I'm leaving it up to you. It better be something good or I will come after you Barek!" Eames said.

"It will be good trust me. I'll see you later Alex." Carolyn said smiling as she started to close her door.

"I'll see you later," Alex said as she got in and started her car as both of them drove off their own separate ways.
