Chapter 5
"Ah! Alexandra! Have a seat!" The DA smiled as he gestured to a vacant seat in front of his desk. "Liz will join us shortly!" He added as Alex sat down. She nodded and tried her best to calm the butterflies that were having a party in her stomach. Get a grip Alexandra! You've worked for these people before. And damn it you were good! She told herself.
She watched the door to Arthur Branch's office open and her old bureau chief walked in. Elizabeth Donnelly looked Alex up and down assessing her. That familiar Donnelly smirk slowly appeared and Alex found herself relaxing. It was funny the young attorney thought to herself, how even though it put the willies in most people, Donnelly's patented 'your-arse-is-mine' grin, simply soothed her. Donnelly had been her boss, her mentor and even her friend. Sure they'd had they're spats and almost brawls over certain decisions that they both had made, but at the end of the day, they'd found that common ground and respect which was so important to them.
"Right! Now that everyone is here let's begin. Shall we?" Branch asked as the Judge sat down. Both women nodded and turned their attention to the DA. "Alexandra, now first I want to know…how have you been?" Alex chuckled and Liz groaned. Arthur Branch did like a good story. So, Alex dramatically replayed her years in the WPP, all the while easing back into the friendships she thought. at one time, had been lost forever.
Olivia sat at her desk. She was bored, the day had been slow. She had gone in to work on her day off. Seeing as Alex was going to be busy with her meeting with Branch, she saw no point in hanging around the apartment on her lonesome. There had been only the one case so far and it had been a simple case of a peeping tom, who was quickly apprehended by New York's finest. The paperwork had ended up taking longer. She dropped her head back in frustration and spun her chair around in her boredom. Groaning she threw a rolled up ball of blu-tak which hit…
"Alex! Shit, I'm sorry!" She squeaked, almost falling off her chair in an attempt to apologize to her lover, who was rubbing her forehead. Alex shook her head and held up her hand.
"Forget it, now I have an assault charge to hold over you." Ha! Ha!" She laughed devilishly. "You've just assaulted an ADA with a deadly weapon. Hmm, yes I can use this…you are gonna pay. Ha! Ha!" Alex chuckled at the look of shock, disbelief and consternation etched on Olivia's face. Alex lightly tapped her lovers cheek and insisted she was going to play nice. For now! She smirked to herself as she sat down on the detectives desk. Removing her jacket, she grinned as she felt Olivia's eyes on her. She'd borrowed one of Olivia's work shirts, seeing as she didn't have any of her own as they were still in storage and wearing Liv's shirt made her feel closer to the brunette. It smells like her. She closed her eyes and inhaled. She sighed, feeling the detectives gaze, like a physical caress. My God!
My God! Olivia moaned inwardly as her eyes moved over the blonds shirt clad torso.
Maybe it's a little to early
To know if this is gonna work
All I know is you're sure looking
Good in my shirt
You look good in my shirt.
"Have lunch with me?" Olivia whispered. Alex could only nod. The lust swimming in Liv's eyes silencing her. "My place and I'll drive!" the detective added as she took Alex's hand and pulled her towards the parking lot.
More coming if you want it. Sorry this chapter was so long in coming, my muse has me writing several stories at the mo.
