A/N: So, I'm really happy with you guys, being so enthusiastic and stuff. I really like that. I don't get so much compliments, so this means a lot to me. Thanks :) So, in return I will update today. :p So, enjoy!


Olivia entered the room again. "So, Elliot just picked up Betsie.." she seemed like she didn't know what to say.

"Liv.." Alex started. "We have to talk about this. Why are you so upset?"

"Does it matter?" Olivia rolled with her eyes, being very annoyed.

"Yeah. Why are you mad at me? Or it just seems like you're mad at me." Alex asked. Casey thought it might be better to leave the two alone, because she wasn't much of a friend to Olivia and she thought it was awkward enough without her in their presence.

"Oh, as if you don't know why I'm mad!" Olivia raised her voice.

"No, I don't know. I didn't know you were homophobic." Alex frowned.

"I am not." Olivia was clearly offended. "I am gay. I thought you knew."

"You never told me."

"Yeah, well.. You didn't tell me either."

"True to that, but you didn't ask me." Alex paced up and down. "So tell me, what's your problem?"

"I don't want to talk about it."

"I do, because clearly I did something wrong, and I don't know what. At least I want a chance of making it right, okay?"

"You cannot do anything about it. It's just.." she sighed. She looked like ten years older than she already was. "I like her, okay? I never thought she would screw you."

"And you are mad at me for that? We are adults. We can have sex if we want. Besides, I didn't even know you liked her!" Alex raised her voice, but she seemed to scare herself, so she lowered it again. "You could have told her yourself."

"Well, that was not needed." Casey wandered back into the room. "I knew."

Olivia seemed confused. "You knew? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I thought, that if I didn't respond your flirtations, you might think I wasn't into you and backed off anyway. I didn't want to reject you or something. But if you want to be mad at someone, be mad at me."

"But.. what?"

"It's nothing personal, Liv. I'm just not in love with you.." Casey almost wanted to say something else, but she thought right now this was enough and maybe it wasn't the right time to say it. Alex locked eyes with Casey. Casey had the feeling Alex understood what she was about to say. She started to get warm. She didn't know if she was ready to say such things. Or admit she cared more about Alex than just the sex-part.

"Liv. I think it's best for you to go." Casey suggested.

"I eh.. I'm sorry. You're free to do what you want. I.. I don't get to have an opinion in this. I was out of line. I'm sorry. Really. I didn't mean to yell like that. And certainly not at you two. You are my family. I just had a rough day." Olivia didn't look Casey in the eye.

"I'm sorry, Liv. That you found out this way." Or that you found out anyway. Casey added in her mind.

"Yeah, well.. No hard feelings, okay? I should have known. Don't blame yourself." Olivia said, finally looking Casey in the eye. Casey walked to her and hugged her.

"Shall I take you home?" Casey suggested.

"No, it's okay. My car is in front of the building, so I'm finding my way out." Olivia had put herself together, so Casey believed she was gonna make it. So Olivia left.

Casey flopped into the couch. She sighed heavily.

"Well, I did not expect that." Alex sat down next to Casey.

"Me neither. I thought she was over it."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Well, do you think you believed me when I said that Olivia Benson was in love with me? That seems so implausible."

"You got a point at that, counselor."

"Why did you lure me into your office last week?" Casey locked eyes again with the blonde.

"I told you.. I wasn't calling someone."

"Yeah, you told me, but why did you lure me? You never told me." she forced Alex to look in her eyes.

"I eh.." she bit her lip. Casey had never seen her do that. Alex didn't know what to say. "Alright. I will tell you."

"Okay, go on." Casey smiled.

"I'm not gonna tell you this story about me falling in love with you since the first day I saw you. That would be too predictable. I'm not that kind of woman. And besides, in the beginning I didn't even like you, because you were the one who took my job and stuff. You know the story."

"Yeah, that seems really nice of you. Thanks. Makes me feel a lot better. Do you even like me now?" Casey said sarcastically.

"Casey, stop. Of course I do. Let me finish." she sighed one more time and continued. "So, a few weeks ago I was watching you in court. Just to be inspired or something. I had a rough case with a rapist, but no bodies, you remember?"

Casey nodded.

"Alright. Yeah well. I saw you in court.. you looked so hot and sexy. I didn't know what happened to me. That wasn't supposed to be happening with the other ADA. So I pushed away my feelings, but as you might know.. when you push away your feelings, they will find a way to you anyway, right?"

Casey nodded again, although she had no idea where Alex was going with the story.

"Yeah, well. That night.. I dreamed of you.. And you were in court again.. but then all the people were gone. And you were naked.. and you can guess how it ended. It was a really happy ending, I can tell. But after that.. I couldn't stop thinking about it. And you know what people say when you have this song stuck in repeat inside your head. The best remedy is to just listen the song, from the beginning till the end."

"Are you comparing me with a song?" Casey frowned.

"Kind of. But a really sexy song."

Casey grinned. "You.." she nudged Alex's side. "But do you.."

Alex put her finger on her lips, to stop her from going on.

"What we have.. it isn't just sex. Don't worry." Alex assured Casey.

"But you just told Olivia.." Casey started, but Alex cut her off.

"Yeah well, I didn't want to make it worse.. and I thought we could talk about it first before we told someone else."

"True to that, counselor."

"But eh.. you said you weren't in love with Olivia.. but it seemed you wanted to add something.. you..?" Alex didn't finish the sentence.

"That might be accidentally right. Although I might not finish that sentence.. at least not now."

"Ah, why not?" Alex pouted. "Were you about to say you're in love with me, but you didn't know that was true, or that I would return those feelings? That I just see this as sex? I'm not that kind of woman, Case. I don't just screw around with the same woman. That always gets people in trouble, so.. People call me Ice Queen, but I'm not that heartless.."

"Of course you aren't. I know that."

"You're avoiding my question, counselor."

"Alex, I work as an ADA. I know that everything I say can and will be used against me.. And in this case, in our thing. For lack of another word."

"I know." she smirked. "That's why I like you. You're like me."

"Did you just admit you like me, ADA Cabot?" Casey grinned.

"Oh you bet I did. You see, I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm in love with you. Because you practically told me you are in love with me too. So I don't have to be ashamed of that. Or worrying if you're in love with me too. So, makes it kind of easy."

"Who would have thought you admitted your feelings first?" Casey smirked.

"I disagree, Ms. Novak. You didn't use the words, but I could read it from your face, so.. you were first."

"Objection! Hearsay." Alex started to laugh.

"Overruled." Alex snorted.

"You're terrible." Casey laughed. "And so inappropriate."
