12:45 pm, SVU squad room.
As much as Olivia wanted to sit around all day and think about her incredible night with Elliot, she knew that her job came first and thinking about a silly crush could wait until later.
Silly crush, she laughed at herself. Who was she kidding? She was head over heels in love with Elliot Stabler and she wanted to tell the world, but first, a teenage girl needed her.
1:15 pm, Mercy General.
"I know, honey, I know you're scared that he's going to come back and try to hurt you again, but I promise you when I say that I have the best team in New York City out for this man." Olivia rubbed the young girls back as she sobbed into her arms. "I was so stupid for leaving that party alone! I should have waited for my friends! I know how dangerous New York is at night, but everyone was drunk and high on whatever and I needed out." She sobbed again into Olivia's arms.
Olivia sighed and closed her eyes and held her and rubbed the back of her head. "Alyssa, listen to me." Olivia softly said and lifted the girls chin. "This isn't your fault, okay? I know it's going to be hard to understand this and process it all, but in order to heal, we need to make mends. And I'm not saying you need to get over what happened, I would never, and honestly, Alyssa, this is something that will stay with you…" Olivia sighed and saw the fear on her face.
Olivia wiped her cheek and looked at her. "I'm going to be here every step of the way for you, I promise. Through the trial, and whatever help you need afterwards, I will be here for you." Olivia promised and hugged her again.
"Oh my god, Alyssa!" Her mother cried as she rushed into the room, her father following closely behind.
"Mr. and Mrs. Hutchinson, may I speak with you in the hall?" Olivia asked as Alyssa looked at her parents with permission to leave her lone for the moment.
Olivia stepped into the hall with the couple and looked at them. "I'm very sorry that you have to see your daughter like this and go through a traumatic event, but I need you to know what I told your daughter as well." She softly said. "We have our best detectives out looking for clues and leads to this mans arrest, and I'm going to stand by Alyssa every step of the way. I know how hard this can be.." Olivia softly spoke as the mother just sobbed against her husband.
"We really appreciate everything, Detective Benson, but I think it would be best right now if we were all just left alone." The father spoke and looked at Olivia. She simply nodded and handed him her business card in case he needed to contact Olivia and headed back to the precinct.
2:00 pm, Mews Diner.
"I really appreciate you meeting me, Alex." Olivia smiled at the blonde. "I know you must be pretty busy, but I haven't seen you in a week!" She grinned and took a sip of her coke. Alex smiled and rolled her eyes. "Yeah, whatever. Anything for you, Olivia." She laughed a bit and sipped on her water.
"So, what was so important that you had to text me before seven am this morning?" She laughed and sat back and looked at the brunette.
Olivia was a beautiful woman and she couldn't get over the fact that Olivia was straight. Well… There was that drunken night they had shared years ago. Alex silently laughed to herself.
Olivia smirked deviously and crossed her arms as Alex raised her eyebrow.
"Oh no you didn't…" Alex gasped and put her hand over her mouth. "You don't even know what I was going to say!" Olivia argued and looked at her.
"If you're about to tell me you slept with Elliot…" Alex smirked and leaned into the table as Olivia's cheeks flushed red.
"How do you know what I'm going to say every single time I have something juicy?!" Olivia laughed as Alex rolled her eyes and looked at her. "I am your best friend after all."
Alex smirked, "Tell me it was everything you ever dreamed of and more!" Alex grinned like a child. Olivia bit her lip and looked up at Alex. "Fuck, he's incredible." She mumbled. Alex chuckled and shook her head, "God Benson, it's about time you got laid by that man!" Alex laughed and ate her food once it came.
Needless to say, the rest of their lunch was very quiet.

5:56 pm, SVU squad room.
"Have either of you heard or seen Benson today?" Elliot asked as he finished up his last DD5 of the day and looked at Munch and Fin. Both of them shrugged, "Last we checked she was your partner. Maybe she finally cashed in her, 'exchange your partner' card." Munch grinned and looked as Fin who smirked. "Yeah, maybe she got sick of your ass." Fin teased as Elliot chuckled and shook his head. "You guys are assholes, you know that?" Elliot laughed again as Cragen stepped out from his office and looked at the three men. "It's nice to see all of you getting along for once.." The captain genuinely smiled. "You can all call it an early night, it's slow and night crew will be in soon. Tomorrow will be a long day, and I need you all on your best behavior." He explained and sent them on their way.
'Where r u?' Elliot texted Olivia.
'Out w/ Alex. Went 2 hospital, lunch, just now leaving court. Bringing her home. Meet at our bar at 8?' Olivia replied as Elliot nodded to himself.
'K.' His short reply was and headed to his apartment to change out of his clothes.
"You've got it real bad, Benson, don't you?" Alex couldn't help but laugh and glance at Olivia as she drove. Olivia sighed a little and glanced at Alex for a second then back at the road. "Alex, I've loved him for so long and then one night changes everything and it's like he's mine… I mean… He is mine? Right?" She asked and held onto the steering wheel. "I didn't think I would ever get to finally be with him… And what if I mess up? What if I say something that will make him turn away? Because if you don't know… I'm really great at pushing people away." Olivia sighed and glanced at Alex again and back at the road.
Alex reached her hand over to Olivia's hand and smiled a genuine smile. "Olivia, I really wish you could see the way he looks at you. Sometimes when I come in and its just the two of your, I see the way he looks at you when you're not paying attention and I think it's the most beautiful look in the world." Alex smiled and leaned over and kissed her cheek as she pulled up in front of her brownstone.
"If you don't make him yours soon, someone else will and I don't want to see you go through that pain." Alex squeezed her hand and smiled a bit. "Good luck tonight." She softly said and walked inside.
Olivia slowly processed everything Alex had said to her. She knew Alex was right. She knew Elliot was head over heels for her and she felt the same, but she was so scared of fucking it all up. She knew she would have to open up to Elliot more, she knew she would have to talk to him even when she didn't want to, and she knew she would have to lose the attitude.
She loved her attitude.
