Chapter 2:
It was about a week later and Alex and Olivia were spending more and more time together. No one on the squad knew except for Elliot, which was how they wanted to keep it for now.
"Hey Alex, it's Liv, call me when you get this message…I know that you are in court right now, but I just thought that maybe you could come over tonight and I could cook you dinner. Talk to you later."
Olivia hung up the phone and made her way back to her desk, where she had a mountain of paperwork to do before she left today.
"Benson! Oh hi Alex. Yeah. Sounds great! See you soon."
Olivia signaled Elliot and informed the Captain that she was on her way home for the evening.
Olivia got home and started to make shrimp fettuccini when Alex knocked. Olivia got really excited and ran for the door.
"Hi hun."
"Hi detective. How are you?"
"Great, now that you are here."
Alex gave Olivia a soft, romantic kiss and they headed into the dining area.
"I got you a present Liv."
"You didn't have to baby."
Olivia opened a little blue Tiffany box to find a charm bracelet with two charms on it. One of the charms was a police badge and the other charm was of a book that said law on it.
"Alex, it is gorgeous! Thank you so very much. I feel bad, I didn't get you anything."
"You cooked for me sweetheart, which is more than I could have done for you."
They both laughed and Alex pulled Olivia in close to her, holding her by the waist while she leaned into that beautiful, dark-haired, amazing woman.
They finished their dinner and cuddled up on the couch together. Before too long, Alex was fast asleep in her girlfriend's arms.
