Olivia's P.O.V.
I'm sitting at my desk reminiscing about Alex. 'God, I miss her so much. I never thought I could love someone that much, or be loved. I feel like I want to give up and die, it's that horrible without her. I can't die because I know she's alive. Only Elliot and I know this and it hurts that I have to lie everyday, about how she is supposed to be dead. I wish...'
I didn't get to finish that thought because a guy came in holding a big bouquet of roses asking for an 'Olivia Benson'. I stood up and walked over to him, and introduced myself. He handed me the roses and walked out of the squad room.
I was speechless. No one has ever bought me roses. I walked back to my desk and gently sat the bouquet down on top of the case file, grabbing the notecard from the center of the bouquet. I opened it and inside it read:
Read this aloud
"When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash and burn
You're not alone
When you feel all alone
And a loyal (girl)friend is hard to find-(literally)-
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash and burn
You're not alone
'Cause there has always been heartache and pain
And when its over you'll breathe again
You'll breathe again
When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash and burn
You're not alone"
"Guess what..."
"I'm back, baby," someone finished. I know that voice anywhere. I turned around to face the entrance and couldn't believe what I saw. Alex was standing there will a huge smile on her face. I walked over to her, not believing what I saw. I reached out and touched her face, caressing her firm jaw line with my thumbs.
"God, baby. Is that really you?" I asked, hoping and praying I wasn't dreaming.
"Yeah, Liv. It's me, honey," the blonde murmured. I gave her a big smile and wrapped her in my arms, pulling her as close as I could. Lifting her into the air I kissed her, to which she deepened. "You don't know how much I missed you; missed this," I mumbled against her soft, full lips. I gently put her back down.
"I think I know," she replied.
I didn't realize this, but Cragen had been standing there in his office's doorway with a smile on his face. I looked at him with pleading eyes, silently begging him to let me have the rest of the day off since I had all my work done and no one had come in all day. He waved us off after he gave Alex a big hug and a "Welcome back, Alexandra."
I grabbed her warm hand and squeezed it reassuringly. Caressing her knuckles, I leaned in beside her ear and whispered, "I love you." She giggled and turned her head towards my ear and whispered, "I love you too."
We shared a smile before venturing off to my car; Alex had taken a cab.
Olivia's P.O.V.
I shut my apartment door and turned towards Alex, who had entered the apartment first. As soon as I turned around I was pushed up against the door. She had my hands raised above my head and her mouth hungrily sought out mine in a feral manner. And I wasn't complaining. She tilted her head and deepened our kiss, which lasted until she trailed kisses down my throat to my neck. She began to mercily suck, nip, and lick my pulse point which made me moan in pleasure. "I don't remember you being this dominate," I commented breathlessly. I felt her smile in to my neck. "I wasn't. But things changed," she mumbled into my skin, "for the better," she added as an after thought.
"Ohhh godddddd," I moaned passionately when she began to nibble on my earlobe.
Slightly pushing her off me, I grabbed her hand and quickly led her to my bedroom.
2 Hours Later
I rolled over on my stomach and looked over at my sleeping lover. God, Alex and I always had mind-blowing sex; still do. I buried my face into my pillow and smiled. It smelled like Alex. God, she is so fucking incredible. No one has ever made me scream or moan more than she has.
I gently threw my arm around Alex's exhausted, sleeping form and tucked my hand under her body by her bare breast, falling asleep almost immediately.
An Hour Later
Alex's P.O.V.
I turned my head to see my beautiful lover sleeping. All that sex has made her exhausted, I thought with a smirk. That was so fucking phenominal.
I felt her stir slightly, slowly opening her dark honey coloured eyes and she looked up at me. "God, I've been gone too long. I almost forgot how fucking great you are," I murmured into her hair, pulling her in to a hug. She smirked and replied, "That was the best sex I've ever had, Al."
I smiled and slowly got out of bed, heading for the bathroom. "Come on! Let's take a shower while we're already naked," I pleaded with her playfully, but serious at the same time. "I'm coming Alexandra!" I giggled and retorted, "That's what you said--screamed--about an hour ago." She blushed and gently pushed me into the bathroom, stepping in and closing the door.
