A/N: I'm so glad you guys are so loyal to my story. :) Enjoy next chapter! You might figure out why Olivia is being so weird.
Next morning Casey woke up, before the alarm went off. She slowly opened her eyes to check whatever woke her up. She saw Alex snuggling into her, still soundly asleep. So adorable, Casey thought. She saw it was almost time to wake up for the two of them, so she stroked Alex's hair to wake her up.
"Alex.." Alex moved a bit.
"Hmm. I don't want to wake up. My dream.. it's too good."
"Just.. wake up." Casey smiled.
"Hmm." Alex snuggled into Casey more tightly.
"We have to get up, Alex. How nice that dream of yours is." Casey slid her hand under Alex's shirt and pinched one of her nipples a bit, just to wake her up. But Alex didn't wake up.
"Hmm." Alex moaned a bit. It was clear she was having a really good dream.
"Are you hot, Ms. Cabot?" Casey asked, not knowing what to do about a woman in a deep sleep.
"Hmm." she nodded. Alex started to stroke Casey's lower abdomen. Casey felt her skin tingle a bit. She knew that if Alex didn't stop, she wanted more from her, and they didn't have time for that. Meanwhile, Alex fidgeted with Casey's underwear. Casey felt her breath getting shallow.
"Alex.." But her voice was just a whisper. In the meantime Alex had taken off Casey's underwear. Now she was stroking Casey's pubic bone. Oh my god, I'm barely awake and.. I want her so much.. Alex ran one finger down between her lips. It softly stroke Casey's clit. Casey closed her eyes. Alex started to get more pressure on the place Casey wanted her the most. She sped up her pace as Casey felt she was getting to her climax. She grabbed the sheets with her hands to get more grip. She tried not to moan or scream, because she might wake up Alex. Her muscles tightened when she came.
"Good morning, Case." Alex looked at Casey with her eyes wide open.
"What? You don't seem like you're just awake." Casey muttered.
"Well, that's true. I'm awake for a while now. I didn't lie. I was having this reaaaally nice dream about you doing stuff.. amazing stuff. And I thought I could return the favor, but you woke me up, so I thought I could return the favor anyway, but the only way to do that was to pretend to be asleep, because you would never let me do that. And that worked." she smirked.
"Oh my god. You're so evil." Casey said a bit indignant.
"I know. But you like that, counselor." she still smirked. "Besides.. recently I read something about women being very productive when they had orgasms in the mornings. So you're welcome, Ms. Novak."
"You're still evil. Cause now I have to thank you when my day turns out to be great." Casey pouted. Alex kissed her lips.
"You are beautiful when you do that. And cute." Alex smiled. She really seemed happy. Casey had no idea she had this effect on her. To think of it, Casey thought she was happier since Alex.. yeah, how do you call it. It isn't a relationship. They aren't dating..
"Ms. Cabot. I think we have to get up now. We don't want to be late at work." Casey said, her mood changed in a second. She sat up, and swung her legs out of bed. She sat on the edge of her bed. Alex laid her hands on her shoulders.
"What's up, Case?"
"It's just.. no, nothing.. I just don't want to be late." She stood up to dress up.
An hour later Alex and Casey drove in her car to work.
"So tell me, what's up, Case. I want to know. You can trust me." Alex put her hand on her thigh.
"No, it's nothing. I- no, just.. no.."
"Is it about Olivia?" Alex asked.
"No.. well, maybe.. I don't know. I don't know what to do about her. She doesn't talk to me. What the hell did I do wrong?" Casey was frustrated, because Olivia always treated her right and now she didn't. And Casey didn't know what to do about it, because she didn't have the feeling she was wrong. She couldn't do something about the fact that Alex and her were.. Yeah, what, Novak? What? It doesn't have a name. It's just friends with benefits. Except you're not friends.. She rolled her eyes at herself.
"I think you should talk to her, Casey. If you want to figure out what's bothering her, you have to talk to her."
"I know. But I don't want to."
"Well, go see her this afternoon. If it doesn't go well, you can call me. We will lunch together."
"Okay." They arrived at work, so they parted and went their own ways.
Casey didn't have to take trouble to speak to Olivia, because she showed up in her office, late in the morning. She knocked on the door and entered the room, but she didn't look Casey directly in the eye.
"I need a warrant." she said.
"Okay. Can I talk to you?" Casey asked reluctant. Olivia didn't seem in the right mood to talk. But Casey figured out she never would.
"Well, sure." Olivia said.
"What's your problem?" Casey asked, a lot less kind than she tried to be.
"What?" Olivia seemed to be a bit pissed off.
"I mean.. you don't talk to me more than necessary. You don't look me in the eye.. What the hell, Olivia. What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? You don't know, do you?"
"Yeah well, you liked me or something, but I think this.. this behavior is out of line. This doesn't make any sense."
"I'm not talking about that." Olivia took a few steps to Casey. "It's just.."
Casey felt sorry for Olivia. She really seemed upset, but she didn't understand why. It was not like they had a relationship or a history or something. Hell, Casey didn't even know Olivia liked her until she caught them together. Olivia was so close now, she could whisper, with Casey still hearing it.
"You can tell me, Liv. I'm your friend. I need to know what's wrong."
"You know.. we had this party at the bar after this tough case, I think almost half a year ago. You were so drunk. And I was really drunk. And I liked you. But you were so drunk, you couldn't walk, not to mention drive. So I walked you home, because I wasn't that drunk, but drunk enough to lose control. So I told you how much I liked you and stuff. And you seemed really out of character. You dragged me into this alley and you started to kiss me. And we made out for a while. And I really liked it. But then I couldn't do it, because I was taking advantage. So I brought you home. And you passed out on your couch almost immediately. And I thought you would remember, but you didn't. So I figured you didn't like women or something. So I decided to keep my mouth shut. But then I caught you with Alex. One of my best friends Alex. And she never told me.. she liked women.. and you didn't.. and she never told me she was into you.. And something snapped. And I'm not the kind of woman that loses control that fast. But this time. I couldn't handle it. But I'm embarrassed of myself that I lost control that way. So I guess that's wrong with me."
Casey didn't expect that. She kissed the detective in front of her? She never meant to do that. She never felt that way about the brunette. She was shocked. She never was that drunk. She never lost control. And she certainly never forgot anything like that. How could she not remember? Even when the detective told her about their experience, it didn't ring a bell.
"I'm sorry, Liv. But I can't remember any of that. And it's okay, you don't have to be ashamed. We all sometimes like someone that doesn't like us back. That just happens. I just wished you told me sooner. Because I thought you were mad."
"I was.. when I left Alex's apartment. But I don't know. I guess I never was that mad after all."
"So, we're good?" Casey asked.
"Yeah." Olivia answered, smiling weakly.
"So, I will get you that warrant, and I'll see you later, detective." Casey said, ending their conversation. When she left, Casey sighed. All was good. And not inappropriate anymore. It went better than expected. She grabbed her phone and dialed the number of a certain blonde.
