Sorry it took so long. Writer's block...and still open for suggestions now.
Alex woke the next morning reveling in the warmth that was Olivia. Olivia's skin on hers was a wonderful combination of relaxing and comforting.
"Good morning," Olivia smiled, kissing the top of Alex head.
Alex tried to snuggled deeper into Olivia, "I don't wanna get up."
Olivia chuckled, "I never said anything about getting up."
After the nights events, Alex was still exhausted and was soon back asleep. Olivia on the other hand was wide away after the deepest slumber she'd had in years.
Olivia kissed Alex's forehead, gently slipping out of bed. She wondered to the bathroom to see if she could fix her hair a little and straighten out her clothes.
Then she ventured around the house, careful not to open any doors, but looked thoroughly around. She followed the hallway to the kitchen where she found Melody sitting on the counter drinking orange juice.
"Hey," Melody smiled, "Sleep good?"
Olivia nodded.
"You hungry?" Melody slid off of the counter and opened the fridge. "I'm sure there's something to eat around here."
"I'm not hungry yet," Olivia answered, sitting on one of the stools on the other side of the counter.
"Well, since we're alone," Melody leaned on the counter in front of Olivia, "If you break her heart, I'll break your neck."
Olivia saw the twinkle in the other detective's eyes and smirked, "Is that a threat?"
Melody smiled, "Hell yeah."
"Do you mind if I ask you something?" Olivia asked.
Melody stood up straight, "I'm an adopted Cabot."
"How did you know that's was I was going to ask?" Olivia crossed her arms.
"Everyone wants to know, when Alex introduces me as her sister, why I don't have blonde hair and blue eyes like the rest of 'em," Melody replied.
"Oh," Olivia slid onto a stool.
Melody took a sip of her juice, "Hell of a storm last night, but I'm sure you didn't hear it."
Olivia blushed immediately.
Melody chuckled and walked to the window which had a layer of ice on the outside. Olivia followed Melody's gaze out the window. Everything was covered in white. Snow littered the ground and surrounding trees and ice covered the road and house.
"Looks like we're stuck here," Olivia looked around.
Melody smiled, "Yeah. We don't want to go sliding off the road, over the pond and have the ice break out from under the car."
"That would be horrible," Olivia nodded.
"It was," Melody looked at Olivia, "Our brother Jason tried to drive out of here while it was icy once. You know, Alex can only save so many people from drowning in freezing cold water before she's had enough."
Olivia laughed. "Alex jumped in a save him?"
"She's quite the lifeguard," Melody smirked, "That's why we keep her around. You never know, she may save your life one day."
Olivia raised an eyebrow, doubtful that she would ever need to be pulled out of freezing cold water.
"That's not the only reason you keep me around is it?" Alex asked from the doorway.
Melody smiled fully, "Well you can cook too."
"Yes I can," Alex smirked as Olivia walked over and wrapped her arms around Alex's waist.
"I'm going to check on sleeping beauty," Melody added, "You should start proving your cooking skills while I'm gone."
"Who's sleeping beauty?" Alex asked after Melody who disappear down the hallway.
There was no reply so Alex turned to Olivia, "Good morning."
Olivia kissed Alex sweetly, "Good morning."
"Melody hasn't been telling embarrassing stories about me has she?" Alex asked.
Olivia shook her head, "No."
"Good," Alex kissed Olivia again, "Did Melody happen to mention who is in her room?"
Olivia smiled, "No. But I'm sure they'll be out in a few minutes. Besides, if it is Serena Southerlyn what are you going to do?"
"Strangle her," Alex replied.
Olivia chuckled, "I couldn't let you do that. I don't date felons."
"Can I at least yell at her?" Alex asked.
Olivia opened her mouth, but someone else's voice filled the room, "No, Lex you can't."
They turned to see Melody standing at the door with none other than Serena Southerlyn herself. Alex narrowed her eyes at Serena before looking to Melody, who challenged Alex with a look.
Alex muttered something under her breath before turning to open the refrigerator.
"Do you need any help?" Serena timidly offered.
Alex took a deep breath and replied, less than warmly, "Can you get the bread out?"
Serena nodded and walked to the pantry.
Melody smiled to Olivia, "Look, you made her nice."
"Ha ha," Alex sneered, setting the eggs on the counter.
"Now if you could make her funny we'd be set," Melody teased.
Melody was hit in the side of the head by a towel.
Olivia laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Alex asked, throw another towel at Olivia.
After a playful breakfast, with mind tension between Alex and Serena, Melody cleaned off the table.
"Thanks for breakfast Lex," Melody smiled, "Now, we are going to go ice skating."
"We are?" Serena asked, looking up at Melody.
Melody nodded, "C'mon." She offered her hand to Serena. Serena took her hand and Melody pulled her out of the room.
"So," Alex smiled mischievously, "Are you ready for round two?"
"Round two of ice skating?" Olivia asked.
Alex shook her head as she stood out of her chair. She stripped off her shirt and dropped it into Olivia's lap, "Let's just say with that shirt, you already have a head start." Alex walked seductively to the doorway and disappeared around the corner.
Olivia beamed and chased after Alex into their bedroom for round two. And three and four.
Who caught the references to Dark Blue? I couldn't help it. :)
