Alex slowly opened her eyes, but quickly closed them again due to the bright sunlight shining through the curtains. Alex snuggled deeper into Olivia, trying to go back to sleep.

"You awake?" Olivia asked softly.

"Yeah," Alex replied, "But hopefully not for long."

Olivia chuckled, "Well, it looks like you'll be doing that alone cause I have to go to work."

"What time is it?" Alex asked, refusing to open her eyes or leave her refuge of Olivia's arms.

"Judging from the angle of the sun, it's seven forty-three," Olivia stated.

Alex rolled away slightly to look at Olivia, "You can tell that by where the sun is?"

Olivia smiled, "Well that and the clock next to the window."

Alex laughed. She picked up a handful of rose pedals and blew them onto Olivia's face. Then She leaned over, sweetly kissing Olivia. "Well, I don't have to be in court until nine so why don't I make breakfast?"

"Good luck finding something in the kitchen to make it with," Olivia smirked.

"Okay then, I'll go get breakfast and you get ready," Alex stated, "And you can drop me at my apartment on your way in."

"Sounds like deal," Olivia nodded.

"So can I borrow some clothes?" Alex asked smiling slyly.

Olivia shook her head, "Nope, you have to go naked."

Alex raised an eyebrow, "You really don't want breakfast do you?"

"Fine," Olivia replied. She stretched and rolled out from under the covers. Alex watched a naked Olivia disappear around the corner and wished everyday started this well.

Starting everyday with Olivia was definitely not a bad idea, but Alex was sure it was too soon to ask Olivia to move in with her or suggest they move in together, although it felt absolutely natural sleeping in the same bed (or pallet) together.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a pair of yoga pants and a cami landing on her head. Alex didn't removed them. "Liv."

"Yes?" Olivia's playful voice answered.

"Why are you clothes on my head?" Alex asked, trying to keep her voice serious, but failing.

"Because you didn't catch them," Olivia replied.

Alex lifted up a pant leg so she could see Olivia with one sparkling blue eye, "You didn't tell me it was coming."

"Oh," Olivia leaned on the wall and cross her arms. She was now sporting boxer and a muscle shirt, "My bad."

Alex smirked, "Come here and make it up to me."

Olivia chuckled, "Okay." She walked over and got on her knees. Alex met her halfway and they exchanged a heated kiss. Olivia hands ran up Alex's bare back and Alex's hands made their way to Olivia's face, stroking gently.

"I love you," Olivia stated after the kiss.

"I love you too," Alex smiled.

"I'm gonna go get in the shower," Olivia replied, standing up.

Alex nodded, "Okay."

With one last smile, Olivia walked back to the bathroom.

Alex quickly got dressed and ran down to the bodega down the street. As she was picking out oranges her phone rang.

"Cabot," she answered.

"How'd it go?" Serena's curious voice asked.

"You're nosy," Alex replied.

"Well I did sit out on a fire escape for an hour last night waiting for your date to be over," Serena stated.

"The fire escape on Olivia's building?" Alex quickly asked.

"No!" Serena replied, "That's gross. We were on the fire escape across the alley from the warehouse. Waiting to put out the candles and cleaned up the mess."

"Aww, Serena," Alex smiled moving past the oranges, "You are the best friend ever."

"Remember that for the wedding," Serena replied.

"Serena," Alex smirked.

"Hey, I don't have my own wedding to look forward to," Serena replied, "I should at least get to look forward to yours."

Alex bit her lip as she stopped by the cream cheese Danishes before picking up a box, "Can I seriously ask you something?"

"Of course," Serena replied.

"Do you think it's too soon for me to suggest we move in together?" Alex asked, "I mean…it's just…"

Alex could hear the smile in Serena's voice, "If you think it's time and that it's what feels right, go for it."

"But…" Alex paused gathering her thoughts, "It feels right to me. But I don't know how she feels about it. I really don't want to freak her out."

"Alex," Serena calmly replied, "I can't tell you when the right time is. You'll know when it is."

Alex took a deep breath, "Thanks Serena. Even though that was no help at all."

Serena chuckled, "Just let me know the next time you need me to not help."

Alex smiled as she paid for the breakfast things she got and wandered back to Olivia's building and back up the stairs.

"You never told me how it went last night," Serena added.

"It was so amazing Serena," Alex replied, "It was the best night of my life. She's so perfect."

"What did the apartment look like?" Serena asked, "I only got to help with the warehouse."

"Who did the apartment?" Alex asked, opening the door. She closed it and made her way to the kitchen.

"Elliot and Kathy Stabler," Serena replied.

Alex set the bag on the counter, "Hmm, I've never met Kathy before. I guess now would be a great time huh?"

"Definitely," Serena added.

"There were candles everywhere," Alex remembered dreamily, "And pillows all over the floor and rose pedals."

"Aww," Serena smiled, "And let me guess, you woke up on the pillows."

"More or less," Alex replied, opening the bag.

Serena giggled, "Naked?"

"Hey, that's none of your business," Alex got down two glasses and pours orange juice before opening the box of Danishes.

"Alex got some last night," Serena chuckled.

"You better not be in earshot of anyone at the office," Alex warned.

"Don't worry," Serena replied, "No one's here, door's closed. What time are you coming in?"

"Liv's gonna drop me at my apartment on her way to work," Alex explained, "But I'm just going to swing by the office to pick up some things for trial on the way to the courthouse."

"Okay," Serena nodded, "You wanna do lunch?"

"Of course," Alex replied looking to her orange juice.

"Good," Serena replied, "I gotta go, Jack's coming and he doesn't look happy."

"Bye Serena," Alex added.

"Bye," Serena said before hanging up.

"I'll have to ask Alex," Olivia's voice started getting closer, "Bye, Elliot."

Olivia walked in the kitchen door to see Alex standing over a box to Danishes. Alex smiled, "Elliot call?"

Olivia nodded.

"Serena did too," Alex replied.

Olivia picked up a Danish and took a bite.

Alex leaned back on the counter, waiting for Olivia to ask her whatever she was supposed to ask. When all she got was silence, Alex crossed her arms, "What are you supposed to ask me?"

"Um," Olivia swallowed what was in her mouth and suddenly became very interested in the pastry in her hand, "Elliot and Kathy want to know if we want to double with them. Kathy really wants to meet you."

"Sounds fun," Alex smiled.

"Really?" Olivia asked, finally looking up at Alex.

Alex nodded, "Why wouldn't it be?"

Olivia shrugged, "I don't know. It's just a very serious couple thing to do."

"You're not serious?" Alex asked, although she knew the answer.

"Of course I am," Olivia sputtered quickly.

Alex smiled, "Then I don't see a problem because I am in this one hundred percent."

Olivia sighed quietly.

Alex hooked her fingers through Olivia's belt loops, pulling her close. "I love you. And I will tell you that everyday until the day I die."

Olivia dipped down and kissed Alex. She smiled blissfully, "I love you too."

Alex checked the clock on the stove, "Looks like we're gonna have to eat and run."

Olivia picked up the box of Danishes and led the way out the door. A few minutes later she pulled to a stop outside Alex's apartment. Alex leaned over and kissed her, "I love you."

"I love you too," Olivia smiled. It felt so good to say that out loud.

"Oh and tell the guys I'm taking them out for drinks after work," Alex replied, "As a thank you."

Olivia nodded, "Okay."

Alex got out of the car and smiled, "Bye." She closed the door and walked to Sam who was holding the door open.

"Have a nice night Miss Cabot?" Sam asked, with a kind smile.

Alex nodded, "Thank you."

"Good morning Miss Cabot," David smiled as she walked to the elevator.

She turned to him, "Good morning."

"Nice date?" David asked.

Alex beamed, "Best date ever."
