They're not mine. Neither is any show/character in the Law & Order franchise.
Alex ran around getting ready. Olivia had picked out her dress, but Alex spent the rest of her day planning how to do her hair, what shoes to wear, and what she was going to say during the dinner.
Alex paused, looking at herself in a mirror, "Is it a date?" Alex rolled her eyes at herself and continued with the eyeliner, "God I hope so, if not…" She shrugged to herself, dragging out a sigh.
As she was picking up her dress, there was a knock on the door. She looked from the dress to the door and a sly smile crept onto her face. She knew one way to see if it was a date.
Olivia stood outside the door, hands in her pockets. She took a deep breath as she waited for Alex to answer. Her pulse quickened when she heard the locks click back.
The door swung open and Olivia was sure she was going to faint. In front of her stood Alex, clad only in black lingerie and high heels. Her hair was in soft curls falling around her shoulders.
Alex smirked, "I'm not quite ready yet. I hope you don't mind."
Olivia blinked and opened and closed her mouth a few times before managing an, "Okay."
Alex swung the door open before disappearing down the hallway. Olivia walked in and closed the door behind her. Olivia tried to quiet the pounding of her heart. She sunk onto Alex's couch and ran a hand through her hair. What Alex just pulled was definitely not fair. Super hot, but not fair. The sexiest thing Olivia has ever seen, but still so not fair.
Olivia heard the clicking of heels along the hard wood floor. Alex appeared in the red dress Olivia picked out earlier. What Olivia hadn't noticed earlier was the long slit that went up the side of the dress and ended at the beginning of Alex's thigh.
It was then that Olivia decided to even the score. She briskly walked over to Alex, slid one arm up her back to the base of her neck and the other to Alex's hip. She pulled Alex to her and their lips met for the first time.
Alex was stunned, but soon wrapped her arms around the detective's neck. The kiss was tentative, sweet, and over too soon for the participants.
Olivia smiled and pulled away, "So dinner?"
Alex raised an eyebrow, "Doing that to me before we go out in public wasn't fair."
"Neither was answering the door in lingerie," Olivia smirked. She held out her hand.
Alex slid her hand into Olivia's and they left her apartment.
"So," Alex spoke once they were in Olivia's car, "Can I ask where we're going?"
Olivia pulled onto the street, "You can."
"Will you answer if I ask?" Alex asked.
"Sure," Olivia offered.
"Where are we going?" Alex asked.
"I can't tell you that," Olivia smirked.
"Some answer," Alex couldn't even pretend to be mad. It hadn't started yet and it was the best date of her life.
Olivia glanced at Alex and smiled. She was beautiful. Especially the smile that rarely crossed the ADA's face at work.
Alex looked around as Olivia parked. "Don't you live around here? Like in that building?"
Olivia just smiled and got out. She opened Alex's door, helping her out.
They walked into Olivia's building and to the elevator. Alex knew where they were, she just wanted to see where this was going.
Once in the elevator, Alex pulled Olivia into a heated kiss. And just as suddenly as it started, it ended when the doors opened.
Alex looked around as they stepped out, realizing that this wasn't Olivia's floor.
"You're not going to ask where we are?" Olivia asked, leading her to the stairwell.
Alex shook her head, "Nope." At this point, Alex would follow Olivia anywhere.
Olivia pushed open the door that said "Roof Access" and Alex followed her up a short flight of stairs to another door. Olivia looked at Alex one last time before opening the door.
Olivia pulled Alex onto the roof, where Alex's breath was taken away. There were twinkle lights strung around the rooftop and a small table complete with a bottle of champagne chilling in the middle.
"Wow," Alex breathed. She felt Olivia's arms slid around her waist from behind. Alex leaned back into her, "This is amazing."
"You like it?" Olivia whispered into Alex's ear, sending chills down her spine.
"I love it," Alex replied, "This is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me."
"You deserve it," Although Olivia could have held Alex there all night, she reluctantly stepped back. She took Alex's hand and lead her to the table. She pulled out Alex's chair and then seated herself.
Olivia uncorked the champagne and pour two glasses as they went to eating and chatting. They talked about Alex's huge family, Olivia's favorite places to run and rock climb, their mutual love to champagne and anything else that entered their minds.
Olivia tapped her foot on the play button of a small CD player under the table and the soft sounds of Norah Jones drifted out.
"Dance with me?" Olivia asked.
"Of course," Alex smiled and stood with Olivia.
They held each other close and swayed to the CD. They melted into each other. Their silhouettes against the lit New York City backdrop was perfect enough for a movie scene.
Alex nuzzled her face into Olivia's neck, "Thank you so much. This is so amazing."
Olivia smiled and closed her eyes taking in the smell of Alex's hair, "Anytime, baby."
Alex looked up at Olivia, looking into her eyes and smiling again. She gently kissed Olivia.
When they were done, Olivia opened the door to the stairs for Alex before following her down. Alex pressed the button for the elevator then turned to Olivia.
"I've had too much to drink to take you home," Olivia replied, taking Alex's hands.
"I've had too much to drink to drive home," Alex smirked, "It seems like we have a problem." She placed a chaste kiss on Olivia's lips.
Olivia knew what the young ADA wanted and was in no mood to refuse her. "You can stay with me."
Alex looked Olivia up and down, "If you insist."
Olivia opened her door for Alex. Alex looked around and smiled, "I love you apartment."
"Really?" Olivia asked.
Alex nodded.
"Would you like something to drink?" Olivia asked, "I have bourbon, orange juice, water, uh…I'm not sure what else."
"Water would be nice," Alex set her purse on an end table.
"Make yourself at home," Olivia smiled and walked off. Once in the kitchen, Olivia smiled to herself. This was the perfect night.
When she returned, Alex was sitting on the couch, cradled in the corner.
Olivia handed Alex her water, "Do you want something to change into?"
A sly smile crossed Alex's face and her eyes lit up.
"Something amusing counselor?" Olivia asked.
"I was just thinking," Alex leaned her head back to look at Olivia.
"About?" Olivia took a step closer to that their legs were touching.
Alex found it nearly impossible to resist reaching out and to touch Olivia, but she wasn't done playing yet.
"Clothes," Alex stated, "Or the lack of them."
"The lack of clothes?" Olivia smirked.
Alex reached out and took Olivia's hands. "Thanks for tonight. It really means a lot."
Olivia knelt down, resting her elbows on Alex's knees, "I'd do it for you every night for the rest of our lives if you wanted me to."
Alex sweetly leaned down and kissed Olivia. "You're sweet."
"Don't tell anyone," Olivia smirked.
"I won't," Alex replied.
"So," Olivia stood, "Do you want something else to wear?"
Alex nodded, "Thanks."
Olivia came back with sweat pants and a cami.
Alex stood, "Unzip me?" She turned around giving Olivia access to her zipper.
Olivia slowly unzipped Alex's dress, pulse beating wildly the whole time. Once she was done, Olivia helped Alex out of the dress.
And once again, Alex stood in front of Olivia in lingerie and heels.
Olivia smiled, "It's just as unfair the second time."
Alex chuckled and took her dress and the clothes from Olivia, "I'll take that as a compliment." She plucked her purse off of the end table and she disappeared down the hallway.
Olivia kicked off her shoes by the door and walked down the hall to her bedroom. She saw the closed bathroom door and Alex's dress on her bed.
Olivia hung up the dress and quickly changed before Alex was out of the bathroom. When the door opened, Alex was in the sweatpants and cami with her hair up in a ponytail .
Olivia was just as awestruck then as she was when she saw Alex in the red dress in her apartment earlier. All her hair was out of her face showing off the flawless skin and the cami hugged her in all the right places. Even the sweatpants seemed to gain some class by hanging onto Alex's elegant body.
Alex dropped her purse by the bed and sat down facing Olivia. "I'm beat."
Olivia turned down the bed and sat on the sheet, "Me too."
Olivia watched Alex slide under the covers before turning off the light and joining her. Alex snuggled into Olivia and Olivia wrapped her arms around Alex. Neither had felt as content as they were right now in a long, long time.
