Chapter 14: Smiles, Tears and Laughter
Alex thought she was hearing things. Mouth hanging open and everything. God, this really did make Casey look innocent. Nothing like this compared to Casey. Okay, so maybe it was right up there. But this was completely different.
"Did you just say what I think you said?" asked Alex. The rest of the table just sat there laughing at the shocked ADA. Casey was enjoying this too much. For the first time that night, Alex was left speechless. And normally that never happened.
"Depends on what you think I just said, Cabot." Laughed Olivia. Now that the words were finally out, it really didn't matter anymore what happened. At least now, there wouldn't be any sneaking around. And keeping secrets. It was better with everything out in the open. Unless, someone else at the table to share with the rest.
"Nothing to say there, Alex?" laughed Casey.
"No, but this is just as funny as you so don't start." Replied Alex.
"I think Case, has had too much to drink already." Joked Melinda.
"I have not had too much to drink. I'm only on three." Corrected Casey.
"That's still one to many for you, Case." Laughed Melinda.
"I'm not the one admitting to screwing around with my partner, now am i?" smiled Casey. Here we go. When Casey had to much to drink, anything and everything came flying out of her mouth. There was just no stopping her. Besides, she really wasn't doing any harm. At least just yet. The night wasn't over yet. Coming close to end maybe but not over.
"Who said anything about screwing? Something else you need to get out in the open, Novak?" smiled Olivia.
"You're not exactly saying no either, Benson." Came Casey.
"Neither are you." Replied Olivia. Neither of them were. If they weren't going to admit anything as far as that topic went, then the night was coming to a close. Leaving everyone hanging on the edge of their seats.
"I have no problem admitting to having sex." Admitted Casey.
"There goes that can of worms. Anything else you forgot to mention tonight?" asked Alex. More and More secrets were coming out by the minute. But nothing was going to And it wasn't going to stop either woman from ending the conversation.
"Like no one else at this table have secrets? Why is it so damn interesting that the two of us have secrets that we already shared tonight?" asked Casey.
"Why are you so damn defensive all of a sudden? I would have expected Olivia to be the getting all defensive. This is just the opposite." Said Alex.
"I'm not getting defensive, thank you, Alex. Besides, I thought you had a boytoy of your own?' asked a smiling Casey.
"What time is it anyway?" asked Melinda. Not that she had to be anywhere.
"9:30pm. Got somewhere else t be, Melinda?" asked Alex.
"Hell no. This is just getting warmed up. So start spilling, Cabot. Two of us have already shared secrets. Now you're turn." Said Melinda. Olivia and Casey just burst out laughing. Laughing so hard, it was almost like they were crying. Not that it was necessarily a bad thing.
"What's there to tell? So I'm seeing someone. Big deal. It's not like the other two." Said Alex.
"Name, Cabot. Or we'll never leave anytime soon." Laughed Olivia.
"No way. I'm not giving up his name. It'll just end up being the third degree." Said Alex. If she even said the word Langen, then there was no end in sight.
"Which means that its someone we all know. Come on, Alex. If you don't it's just going to be the third degree anyway." Begged Casey.
"Why? So you guys can just start making fun of him?" sad Alex.
"We didn't make fun of Liv's secret admire. And neither did we with Casey's. So why would this be any different?" asked Melinda.
"No, but that was different. Completely different. We expected Liv to open that can of worms eventually. Just not right off the bat. Casey, well, it's Casey. What did you expect?" said Alex.
"Ok, someone take away her margarita from her before she really does have too much to drink and just lets it slip." Said Olivia.
"I'm not drunk, thank you. And that was that one time." Said Alex.
"Please? Then we'll shut up and leave?" pleaded Casey.
"So the two of you can go and fuck around with the boy toys?" laughed Alex.
"No one said anything about fucking around after this, Alex. Stop presuming that's what we're going to do." Said Casey.
"Ten bucks says different." Said Alex.
"Fine, put you're money where your mouth is. But to make this interesting, let's make it $50 and that bet includes you, Cabot." Said Olivia.
"I have no problem with that. I know I won't be the one losing this bet ." smiled Alex. Okay, so maybe she would. But the chances were just the same that the other two would too. It went all three ways.
"Melinda can hold onto the money. If you don't mind?" asked Casey.
"Nope, that works for me. Hand the money over." Replied Melinda. All three of them handed fifty a piece to her.
"So how do we decide who wins the bet or not?" asked Casey. How were they going to decide who won the bet? Telling just took the fun out of it. Telling on each other was pointless and a high school thing.
"What about any visible signs?" offered Melinda.
'What is this, high school all over again?" questioned a smiling Casey.
"You have any better ideas then Novak?" replied Melinda.
"No, I guess not." Said Casey.
"How the hell is this even going to work? All three us of could leave here and having sex when we get back to own apartments and none of us would know any better." Answered Alex.
"Melinda has a point though. Rough sex would leave any means of a visible mark." Smiled Casey.
"Whose turn is it to buy drinks?" asked Casey.
"Mine." Replied Olivia, paying the bar tab.
By now it was a little after 11pm and all four women were ready to call it a night. At least, when it came to the drinking that is.
Alex and Casey left together as did Melinda and Olivia. Ten minutes later, and Melinda was pulling up to Olivia's apartment. A sudden smile on her face.
"You do realize that you've technically already lost the bet? Not that it matters anyway. Casey won't hold out either. Can say the same thing for Alex though." Smiled Melinda.
"Casey wouldn't last a half hour without, trying to get something started. Especially if its been this long since she was in a relationship. I haven't lost just yet. Explicit messages doesn't count." Said Olivia. And technically it didn't.
"I'm going to hear all three sides in the morning, aren't i?" laughed Melinda.
"Most likely. And my bet is on Casey coming to see you first." Smiled Olivia, getting out of the car.
"Try not to have too much fun tonight? At least not with four margaritas in you already." Said Melinda. Four was nothing. By the time they had all left the restaurant, Casey had just as much as she did. Alex and Melinda stopped at two. Olivia just smiled and thanked Melinda once again for inviting her and bringing her home. Had she driven, she wouldn't have been able to drink anymore than one.
Forget about taking her time getting in her apartment. She thre her keys across the room along with her jacket. Man, had he not sent any of the explicit messages, she would have been as turned on as she was at the moment.
" How did you mamange to get home?" asked Elliot.
"Melinda. What was with the horny text messages this evening? Were you drunk again? Or were you with John and Fin at the bar." Laughed Olivia. She knew where this conversation was headed.
"I wasn't drunk but thanks for presuming that I was. I was just having a little fun. No harm done." Replied Elliot. That lasted all of thirty seconds before either of them had their mouths shoved in the others. Well, hell this wasn't going to make it to the bedroom.
"I thought you said no, not for another three weeks?" laughed Elliot. He knew what he was doing when he sent the messages.
"Shut up already and start stripping, Stabler." Was all she had to say at the moment. Taking it to the bedroom, she was out of her clothes before he was.
It may start in the bedroom but there was no way that it was going to end in the bedroom. They both knew it.
"Top or bottom, Benson." Asked Elliot.
"Does it fucking matter? Fine then, bottom." Replied Olivia. Before she knew it, she was on bottom and he was on top .And he was already working his way up the inside of her thighs.
"Told you I needed something to suck on." Smiled Elliot. And he wasn't kidding either. He just kept exploring her anyway that he could.
"Mother Fucker" screamed Olivia.
