Chapter 5:
The next morning, Olivia woke up to an extremely perky blonde.
"Alex, what are you doing up at 4am on a Sunday?"
"Hehe nothing" she said playfully as she kissed her Detective.
"I thought we could you know hehe."
"Ohh, I see, and what makes you think I am that easy?"
"I never claimed you were easy Detective, but that doesn't make it any less fun to try and get what I want."
"Are you always like this?"
"Only with you baby."
Alex began to kiss her Detective. Alex kissed her neck. Then she kissed her collarbone. Alex made her way down her body leaving a trail of kisses. Olivia stopped Alex just as she got to her thigh.
"Alex, stop please."
"Why hun?"
"I... I don't think we should, not right now."
"Why not? Am I not good enough, not pretty enough for you?"
"Alex, you are perfect, but I can't. I am sorry."
Alex was hurt, but she backed off. She got up and took a shower, but she couldn't stop thinking about why Olivia wouldn't let her be with her on that level. They had been dating for three months. Why?
Olivia was still in the bedroom, she put on her dress and was ready to leave, when Alex got out of the shower and stopped her.
"Liv, wait, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have. Please don't go."
Olivia stormed past her but Alex made her way to the apartment door before Olivia could and stood there demanding an answer.
"Liv, what the hell? What is your problem."
"Don't raise your voice to me Alex."
"I am sorry Olivia, but I need to know why you are acting all strange. Last night was perfect. We were perfectly fine and now what? You need to talk to me Olivia. I am not letting you leave until you do."
"Are you really going to hold me here against my will Counselor? Would that be a good idea? Huh? Answer my effing question Alexandra Cabot!"
Alex moved out of Olivia's way as she stormed out. As the door slammed, Alex dropped to the floor and began to cry. "Why, Olivia, why?"
About an hour later, Alex worked up the nerve to call Elliot. "Elliot, it is Alex."
"What's wrong? You sound upset."
"Olivia ran out on me. I need to know where she would be and why she would just leave me like this."
"Alex, I don't know what to tell you about why she left, it depends on what the circumstances were. To answer your question about where she is, you might want to check the squad room or even Central Park, by the huge rock in the southwest corner."
"Oh."
"Alex, may I ask what happened between you two. I understand if it is none of my business though."
"El, I am not even sure why she just up and left. We were going to you know for the first time."
"Oh, maybe this isn't my place…but did you two talk about it before?"
"No we haven't. God El, how could I have been so effing stupid?"
"You aren't stupid, but you two need to talk. Now go get her."
"Thanks El. I owe you a million."
"Don't worry about it."
Alex got dressed into something a little more professional so she didn't look like she was out of place when she went into the squad room. She barged through the doors of the one six and headed straight for where Olivia's desk was located. Nothing, so she tried the locker room, the bunks, and the break room. Still nothing, still no Olivia. She walked into Cragen's office, realizing it was a Sunday, he was not in there. She walked back out to see Cragen in an interrogation room talking to Olivia. She had finally found her! She walked in without knocking and demanded Olivia come with her.
"Detective Benson, I need to speak with you NOW!"
"Sorry Counselor, I am busy."
"NOW Olivia! I am not messing around with you anymore! Why the hell did you run out on me huh?"
Cragen interrupted, "Counselor, I would appreciate if you would not talk to my Detective like that. She does not have to answer to you. She answers to me."
"Sorry Captain, but she does answer to me and I need her to talk with me now, not in two minutes, not in thirty seconds, I need to talk to her NOW!"
"And why the hell would she answer to you?"
"Because."
"You know damn well Counselor that because is not an answer. Give me a reason!"
"Because I LOVE HER! She is my girlfriend! And most importantly, we need to work this out."
"Wow, Miss Cabot, my apologies, I didn't know." Cragen stated.
"Capt. I am not going to speak with her. Tell her to leave."
"Olivia Benson, I think you two should talk."
Alex walked over and sat down as Cragen left the room. Her mind raced as she had no idea what to say to the love of her life.
