Chapter 4

Alex and Olivia had been dating for three months now and were still keeping it a secret to everyone except for Elliot. It was a Saturday night and Alex had invited Olivia over to her apartment for a movie.

"Hey Alex, I am running a little bit late, I'm sorry."

"It is ok baby, I will be here whenever you get here."

"Ok hun, see you soon."

Olivia hung up the phone and walked into the floral shop.

"I need an amazing arrangement and fast." Olivia stated.

The florist looked up and asked, "What's the occasion?"

"Three month anniversary."

"What kind of colors and flowers are you looking for? In a vase?"

"She loves pink and yellows…" Olivia's thoughts trailed off.

"Never mind. I need three red long-stem roses. No vase."

Olivia thanked the man, paid, and walked out. She then walked down to a jewelry store.

"I need the perfect anniversary present!"

"Are you looking for a specific type of jewelry," the jeweler inquired.

"Well," Olivia started, "What do you get the woman who has everything?"

"You would get her… " Just as he started to answer Olivia's question, she spotted the perfect diamond necklace. She thought for a second on how much it cost, but only two seconds later was holding it in her hands, deciding to buy it for Alex.

Alex was pacing back and forth in her apartment. Olivia was never late except when something was wrong. Alex picked up her cell phone and sent Olivia a text message that said, "Hey Liv, I hope everything is ok. I didn't know you were going to be this late. Call me, I am worried." Alex truly was worried as she nervously waited for a response. It had been fifteen minutes; something has to be wrong Alex thought. Just as she was about to call Olivia, there was a knock on her door. She looked through the peephole to see her gorgeous brunette girlfriend standing there. She opened the door and was stunned at how amazing Olivia looked in that dark blue dress.

"Wow, Liv, you look, wow, AMAZING!"

"Thanks hun, I thought I should clean up a little for you tonight, you know lose the badge and the gun."

Alex giggled. "Now, I feel underdressed here. I don't look half as good as you do."

"Well here is the thing Alex, I see you all the time in skirts and high heels, but I never get to see the Alex Cabot that walks around in tight jeans and a tank top. I think it is only fair that you stay in what you are wearing and I stay in this dress."

"Are you sure you aren't a lawyer trying to persuade me as the jury to give in to your so called evidence?"

"Ha! Never in a million years would I be a lawyer."

"Just dating one right?"

"And that is how I want to keep it sweetheart. Oh! Here, I got you some flowers!"

"Aww Liv, they are perfect. You are perfect."

They sealed the deal with a nice passionate kiss before they sat down on the couch with some amazing chocolate cake and champagne. They watched the movie The Notebook. After the movie Alex grabbed Olivia's hand and she kissed it gently.

"Liv, you are the most wonderful woman. I love being with you."

"Thanks. You are perfect for me Alex. Before I forget, I got you a present."

"You didn't have to."

Alex kissed Olivia. As Alex opened it she started to tear up.

"Olivia, it is wonderful. I love it. Thank you so much baby."

"You are welcome baby."

"Hey hun, I got you something too."

"Really?"

"Of course it is our three month, I wouldn't forget."

Alex handed Olivia three small boxes. The first box had a charm for her charm bracelet that was a heart with the number three in the middle of it. The second box had a pair of diamond earrings in them, three carats to be exact. The third box had a piece of paper inside of it. Olivia unfolded the piece of paper and it said three words. Olivia started to cry as she read the words "I Love You." At that moment, Alex held Olivia close to her body and verbalized those three words for the first time.

"Liv, I love you."

"I love you too, Alex."

Alex pulled Olivia even closer to her and kissed her on her neck. Alex then grabbed Olivia's hand and led Olivia into her bedroom. They cuddled and talked about how amazing it was to be with each other and before too long, Olivia had fallen asleep. Alex laid there as she watched her Detective sleep. Alex knew Olivia needed to sleep so Alex kissed her on the forehead and wrapped her arms around Olivia before she dozed off as well.

It had been a night neither one of them would ever forget.
