Alex and Olivia walked into Alex's penthouse with bags from shopping. They walked in her kitchen to the items away, and to get ready to make vegan jello shots. "Do you really need all of this? Who's going to be tomorrow?" Olivia asked, putting the ingredients on the counter.

Alex placed the vodka, and tequila next to Olivia, "Some skaters, hockey players, and Casey's bringing some of her teammates." She pulled two pots out to start boiling water.

Olivia raised her brow, hearing the softball team will be at the party. "Did you invite Amanda?"

"No," Alex took a deep breath in as she looked at the roommate, "I told Amanda, our fun is over." She smirked as she shrugged her shoulders, "at least for the season. BUT if Casey invites her why not the more the merrier."

Olivia liked the sound that Alex wasn't sleeping with Amanda anymore. "Do you…" Olivia didn't know how to ask a forward question, "Do you want to go back to her after the season?" Alex shook her head, "Why?"

Alex wasn't hesitating on Olivia's questions. She wanted Olivia to know everything to get her hints. "Because," she continued to move around the kitchen to make the shots, "She was fun, but." She made sure Olivia looked at her with her mischievous smile, "She will never help me indulge in my deepest pleasure." She used the words Olivia told her before hooking up with Amanda.

Olivia's mouth watered as Alex used her words. "Do you…" Avoiding an eye roll, Olivia stared at at beautiful pink lips that belong to the pale face. "Have anyone in mind that can achieve that?" She looked in Alex's eyes.

Alex loved she sparked interest and was in total control of this moment. "Yes actually…" She was cut off with her phone ringing. "Hold please...Hello? Yes I am… please send them up thank you." She spoke to her doorman.

"Who's coming?" Olivia questioned the phone call as their moment was broken.

Alex smiled tucking her hair behind her ear, "Abbie Carmichael and Sonny Carisi. They're here for tomorrow and they'll be staying here."

"Abbie as in your ex Abbie?" Olivia was taken back with this information.

"Yep that's the one." Alex nodded, "Hey, is Rafael able to make it tomorrow?"

"I'm sure he'll be here if you ask." Olivia nodded with the subject change. "So are you…"

"Alexandra Cabot." The long hair twenty-two year old walked off the elevator into the penthouse.

Alex smiled at the sound of Abbie's voice. "Hold on." Alex walked out of the kitchen and ran to her ex to give her a tight hug. "Hey." She released the hug, "Sonny, how have you been?" She pulled Abbie's partner in for a hug.

"I'm good."

"How was your flight?" Alex grabbed Abbie's bags. She walked the two to the guest rooms.

The three slowly made their way to the kitchen to see Olivia finishing up the shots putting them in their containers. "This is Olivia, Olivia this Sonny and Abbie." Alex smiled introducing the two of the most important people in her life to each other.

"The famous Olivia." Abbie smiled at Olivia sticking out her hand out, "I've heard so much about you."

"Really?" Olivia was confused and looked at Alex, "I don't know what there is to talk about."

Abbie was curious to see a different side to how Olivia than how Alex described. "Don't be silly. I heard you got under Jane's skin." Abbie smiled. "That used to be my favorite thing to do."

"Yeah, well she was in the wrong, and Alex's too polite to say something to her mom." Olivia shrugged her shoulders.

"Well Jane has been and will always be a bitch." Abbie sat down on the barstool. "It's crazy how Alex fell from her tree."

"Abbie." Alex wasn't shocked with what she was saying.

"I'm sorry Olivia, Abbie Carmichael has no filter." Sonny joined in the conversation.

Olivia smiled at the conversation and enjoyed hearing about Alex's past. She liked the feeling of being surrounded by friends that have known each other for ages, even if she felt like an outsider. "That's okay," Olivia placed the trays of rainbow colored jello shots in the fridge.

"Did you hear Russo finally landed a triple axel?" Abbie changed the subject to catch up on the gossip. "And she has two in her long program."

Alex stood behind Olivia grabbing cold waters for the group, "That's like last year when she started her own rumor about landing a quad but couldn't do it in competition?" She laughed at the conversation.

"She'll do whatever it takes to win." Alex rolled her eyes handing out the water.

"I'm sorry forgive me for sounding stupid but what does a rumor have to do with winning?" Olivia wasn't as knowledgeable as she thought that was in the sport.

"Because when someone starts rumors saying they can land jumps with higher point value, it messes the other's heads. Then you start psyching yourself out. That ripplings into a lack of focus." Sonny explained rumor head games. "No focus, bad program."

"Abigail Carmichael. Welcome back to the big apple," Casey walked into the kitchen after her training. "Where's Serena?"

Abbie gave Alex's roommate a hug. "She's starting law school, but she told me to tell you, Alex, you owe her dinner at Skate America."

"I will make sure she gets only the finest meal, for letting me take you away from her." Alex tipped her water bottle as if it were a toast.

"Who's Serena?" Olivia once again felt like the only stranger in the group, not knowing who everyone was talking about.

"Serena Southerlyn is Abbie's beautiful fiancé." Alex looked at the brown eyes.

"Speaking of dinner," Sonny said, "I'm starving, let's get food."

"Yes that sounds amazing." Abbie agreed.

"Okay let's go," Alex stated, looking at Olivia who was becoming quiet. "Olivia, do you want to grab food?" she touched the tan arm.

"Actually…" Olivia looked down at her watch. "I… I have to go get ready for work."

Alex's stomach turned seeing Olivia have a change in demeanor. "Oh, okay." Alex walked with Olivia to the elevator, "Are you okay?" Alex softly asked Olivia. She watched Olivia nod, "Are you upset that Abbie's here."

"No, of course not," Olivia sighed out, "I really have to go to work, and you have some entertaining to do." She smiled not wanting to confess that she didn't feel like she belonged in the group.

Alex starred Olivia. "Okay, so when we go see you at work, you'll make me one of your best drinks?"

"I only save my best for you." She gave a soft smile. The elevator door opened up, "Seriously go catch up, with all the figure skating drama." Olivia scrunched her nose at Alex. "And you can tell me all about it later." She stepped on the elevator.

"Deal." Alex smiled and leaned against the door as she tried to catch her breath. She always had a sad feeling after each time Olivia leaves her. Alex returned to the kitchen with a pure smile on her face, and stars in her eyes.

"Why Alexandra Cabot, I have never seen you with that look on your face ever." Abbie was happy to see her ex happy from someone. "So why haven't you two gotten together yet."

Alex couldn't explain Olivia's massive wall she was climbing without telling them Olivia's problems. "I don't know, because she's a bartender." Alex shallowly choked out. She didn't know why she stated that when she just wanted to be with Olivia no matter what.

"Oh my god, can you sound any more like a bitch." Abbie called out Alex on her superficial comment. She could also see Alex's was hiding something, "And have you ever heard about being a sugar mama?"

Alex smirked at the joke Abbie made, she doesn't care about Olivia's job. If she could just return every night to Olivia in her arms like the night she took care of her hand, she would feel complete. She almost responded until, "Alex can't handle being in a relationship with Olivia." Casey interjected.

Abbie looked at Casey, "Why?" She looked back at the blonde.

"Because Olivia is with a different girl almost every night. She's not a one woman type of woman. Alex wouldn't be able to handle that." Casey explained how she sees Olivia Benson to Abbie.

Alex felt guilty with the disdain Casey was putting on Olivia. "She's not like that." Alex snapped at Casey, "Just because you had sex with her doesn't mean you know her." Alex's finger began digging into her thumb.

"Alex," Abbie found herself at a loss of words seeing her eyes water.

Alex looked down at her thumb that was becoming red. She took a deep breath, "Just forget it. I'm not interested in Olivia Benson, and I don't have time for dating," she grabbed her jacket, "Are we going out to eat or not?"


Alex, Abbie, Sonny, and Casey went out to eat to eventually go to Olivia's job. Abbie found it impressive that the quiet Olivia standing in Alex's kitchen had the busiest bar in the club. She noticed how Alex was mesmerized by the short haired brunette. She could see how ladies are attracted to her. She had a gorgeous smile, and her body was fit. She noticed how the two looked at each other each time Alex got a round of drinks. Olivia's eyes and smiled changed while talking to Alex over talking to her other customers. Abbie pulled Alex to the dance floor to dance together, to maybe get Olivia's attention.

They stayed until closing, Barba was introduced to Sonny. Alex and Casey were sitting on a couch because Alex wasn't ready to go. Abbie walked up to Olivia who was behind the bar.

"Hey Olivia," She smiled.

Olivia smiled back at Abbie, "Hey, Can I get you one last drink?"

"No, I was wondering if you wanted any help?" She was going to know this mystery woman that has her dear friend in a funk.

"Oh no, it's okay." She laughed off, "Sonny seems to be fond of Rafael." She observed the two talking on the empty stage.

Abbie looked at her skating partner, "Yeah it appears so. I guess that's what happens when two charmers meet each other. They could be cute. He's coming tomorrow right?"

"Alex gave him a personal invitation and he accepted." she laughed at the two.

They walked together as Olivia started flipping chairs on to the tables, "I'm sorry we got caught up in figure skating gossip." Olivia looked at Abbie wondering if Alex said something, "Serena gets that same look on her face, especially when we go to competitions. As much as she knows about the sport because of me. We still end up talking about it too much. We have this little bubble."

"So who is Olivia Benson?" Abbie asked the cheesiest question, as she helped Olivia with the chairs.

"What do you want to know?"

"What do you do for fun? Alex said, you are a photographer, why?"

"She did?"

"Yeah she sent me some of the pictures you took of her. You have a very interesting eye." Abbie smiled.

"Thank you. What else did Alex say about me?" Olivia's instincts were signaling alerts after she shared some of her darkest scars to Alex.

"Well, she's crazy about you." Abbie smirked thinking she could speed up the two women moving at snail's pace. "She has described you as a beautiful mystery woman that could take anyone's breath away. And she's not wrong." Olivia began chewing on her inner bottom lip as she looked over to the blonde falling asleep on Casey's shoulder. "She also said that you do whatever you can to make sure everyone is happy before yourself. Which to me sounds like the best kind of friend you can be, so who is Olivia." Abbie ignored the comments Casey were saying at the apartment knowing there is more to people than sex.

"There really isn't that much to tell." Olivia really didn't know how to answer the question.

"Okay how about this question." Abbie could still be unfiltered but sensitive. "I have never seen Alex look at anyone the way she looks at you, including me." She cleared her throat trying to understand her observation, "You give Alex the same look, so what's stopping you two?"

Olivia's heart raced as her breathing became tight, someone who doesn't even know her could read her so easily. She looked at Abbie square in the eye, "I don't want to mess up her training."

Abbie found it interesting that was the reason they both were using, "You know, she skates better when she has passion."

Olivia quickly turned to the defense while a stranger was interrogating her. "Just ask Casey why we aren't together. She has no problem telling Alex's people what kind of person I am. Certainly not the kind of person for Alex." Olivia shut down the conversation and walked away.

Abbie watched Olivia walk away and could see why Alex was interested in her. If she was single she could be interested too. Olivia was indeed a mystery woman with very little to say.
