Title: A Night Out (3/?)
A few months later
Office of Casey Novak
(Ring)(Ring) "Novak sex crimes. Hi baby. I don't know. Pretty soon. How about 6:30? Dinner a movie. Ha. Ha. Very funny. Livy you're bad. Okay see you then. I love you too baby, bye." Casey hung up laughing to herself.
"What's so funny?" Came a familiar voice.
Casey looked up at brunette standing in front of her desk. "Oh my god! What the hell are you doing here?" Casey was shocked to see her ex-girlfriend Sarah Mitchell in her office.
"Came to see how my girl is doing."
"I'm not your girl. I haven't been for the past three years." Casey snapped.
"I know, but Serena said that you weren't seeing anyone the last time I spoke to her, so I figured you were waiting for me." Sarah said with a smile.
"I sure as hell wasn't waiting for you. You wasted your fucking time coming back here, you decided to leave me remember."
"I know but..."
"When was the last time you spoke to Serena?" Casey cut Sarah off.
"A few months ago. She said that you hadn't been dating anyone since you took this job and that was right about the time I left so I just figured that you were waiting.
"Fuck you Sarah!" Casey was pissed not only at Sarah but at Serena for telling Sarah anything about her life.
"That's not nice Casey. What would your father say?"
"If he knew I was talking to you he wouldn't care. He never liked you."
"That maybe so, but still you could be nice."
"I don't want to. Now if you excuse me I have work to do."
"Casey, please I miss you. I was stupid. Let me make it up to you. Have dinner with me tonight."
"No! Besides I can't."
"Why?"
"Because..."
"Baby I know that I'm early but I thought that we could..."
'Oh god, what the fuck am I going to do?' Casey thought to herself then cut Olivia off. "Liv this is Sarah. Sarah this is Olivia my girlfriend."
Liv looked Sarah over for a moment. "Hi. As I was saying..."
"Excuse me I was talking to Casey first. What if I were a witness or a victim?"
"Well you're not either, so why the hell should I care if you were talking to her first? She's MY girlfriend!"
'Shit, Liv looks like she's going to kick Sarah's ass. She's jealous she never gets jealous or if she did she never let it show.' "Livy, baby why don't you go talk to Alex and when I'm done we'll go. Casey said leading Olivia into the hallway. 'Oh god did I, Casey Novak, just suggest that Olivia talk to Alex. What the fuck was I thinking?'
"Fuck Alex! No, I didn't mean that. I just can't talk to her right now."
'What a relief.' "I know. If you won't talk to Alex why not talk to Elliot?" 'Besides I'm more comfortable with him than Alex.'
"I don't want to." Olivia said looking at the ground. 'Why the hell am I acting like this? I trust her completely, I just don't trust Sarah.' "I sorry for acting like a baby. I love you. I'll just wait out here."
Casey hugged Liv. "Okay. It's okay. I love you too sweetie." Casey walked back into her office and closed the door. "You shouldn't have done that." Casey said in a warning tone.
"You belong with me. I still want you and I still love you."
"You sure as hell have a funny way of showing it. It's not going to work this time. Why don't you just go fuck yourself because I've moved on and I'm never going back?"
"Come on Case. We do this all the time and you always take me back. You know we belong together."
"You know what?! I'm done. I'm done with you. With this whole stupid you mess up and I take you back shit. No more. Olivia loves me and she doesn't play games with my heart. So just leave and don't bother me ever again."
"But Casey I..."
"Shut up! Oh and another thing don't talk to Serena, at least not about me. And don't think I won't know, because after today she's going to tell me everything, I'll make sure of it." Casey was really pissed now.
"Casey I'm sorry if you thought that I was playing games with your heart that was never my intention. Just give me one more chance, please?" Sarah begged.
"No, I've given you way too many chances already. I love Olivia and she loves me. She's waiting for me outside so if you excuse me we have a date that I'm not gonna miss because of you."
"So that's it, you're going to throw away everything we had for some slut you've been dating for a couple of months."
"FUCK YOU! You have no right to call her a slut and you know absolutely nothing about our relationship. Get the fuck OUT of my office NOW!" Casey was steaming.
"Or what you'll sue me?" Sarah asked sarcastically.
"No. I'll have Olivia arrest you for harassment. So leave now!"
"Fine I'll leave."
The same time outside of Casey's office.
Olivia was sitting on the floor playing with her shoe lace. "Liv?"
Olivia looked up at the sound of the familiar voice. "Alex." Liv said flatly.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Sitting waiting for my girlfriend."
Alex looked at the office door. "So you and Casey huh? Guess the rumors are true."
"Yeah."
"Can I sit with you?"
"Oh my god and actually get your pretty little skirt dirty." Liv said sarcastically.
"Shut up! I hate when people think that I'm some sort of pampered princess, you know that. So what's wrong?" Alex said sitting next to Liv.
"I think I messed things up. I pulled the jealous girlfriend card. I never do that." Liv said shaking her head.
"So why'd you pull it? Do you not trust her?"
"That's just it I trust he completely. I don't trust Sarah her ex."
"Ah! So I take it she's in there right now with her ex."
"You got it babe."
Hearing Liv call her babe even if it was just for fun made Alex feel really guilty. "Liv, I know I'm getting off the subject but I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"Everything. Using you, leaving without saying goodbye, coming back and not telling you."
"Forget about it, all is forgiven. Well most is forgiven." Liv said with a small smile.
"Thanks. So Sarah, what do you know about her and their relationship?"
"Everything that Casey told me. That Sarah was Casey's first real girlfriend. That they were off and on again for years. And before Casey got transferred to SVU Sarah decided to take a job in Chicago and moved away. Casey said it didn't really matter because her heart wasn't in the relationship anymore. Casey also said that she kept playing games with her feelings so Casey's father and brothers don't like her. But three years later she shows up and I act like a fucking baby."
"Liv, stop worrying Casey loves you and you love her right?"
"Right."
"So believe in that and Casey."
"Like I said it's not Casey I'm worried about."
"Liv, who are you trying to kid?" Alex said with a smile.
Olivia smiles back. "I forgot who I was talking to. Okay, I'm worried she'll take Sarah back and I don't think I could handle that." Olivia said putting her head in her hands.
"Why don't you tell her how you feel?"
"For two reasons. One if I tell her I'm worried she'll take Sarah back she'll think I don't trust her. Two, I don't want her to think I'm clingy. What am I going to do?" Olivia said putting her head back in her hands.
The door flew opened and Sarah stormed out without looking back. Casey came out closed the door and locked it. She looked down at Olivia and Alex. Normally Casey would have been upset at seeing Alex sitting so close and rubbing Olivia's back. But Casey trusted Olivia and the fact that Olivia looked like she was crying was making any other thought impossible. Casey bent down and hugged Liv. "Baby what's wrong?
Olivia looked at Casey. "I love you. I have to tell you something."
"I love you too. What is it?"
"Not here."
"'Kay." Casey said helping Olivia up. "Uh, Alex. Thank you."
"Forget about it. Well I should be getting home." Alex said as she got up and dusted herself off.
"Bye." Casey and Liv said in unison.
"Bye. Oh and good luck."
Olivia's Apartment
"Liv are you going to talk to me? What's wrong? You've been acting strange ever since Sarah... Is this about Sarah? Baby talk to me please!"
"I'm not going to lie to you, it is about Sarah but not entirely. You have to believe me I trust you completely but I was worried for one split second that you might take her back."
"What? Why?"
"Because Sarah coming back made me realize something. I wasn't jealous of Sarah I mean sure she's pretty but that wasn't it. I was jealous of what the two of you had and I thought that you might want that back."
"Baby, told you I was done with her and nothing could ever make me take her back."
"I know. I also realized that I can't be without you. That I want you to be there when I go to bed at night and when I wake up in the morning." Olivia took a deep breath. "Will you move in with me?"
"Really?" Olivia nodded "Of course, baby! I'd love to and I love you." Casey smiled and sat in Olivia's lap.
Olivia hugged Casey tight for a moment then kissed her passionately on the lips. "I love you too. Thank you."
"For what?" Casey asked kissing a trail down Olivia's throat.
"For everything. For loving me. Just everything babe."
"No problem. Now when should I start packing?"
"Tomorrow morning. I want you moved in as soon as possible."
