Chapter 16

I walk away from the beach to call Alex. I want things to get cleared up first. Something Olivia said is bothering me...'The Alex Cabot I know is...' she never finished.

I head into the house and grab my phone and sit on the bed.

"Hey, Alex. Sorry about earlier..."

"Hey, and it's ok. How are you doing?" She asks delicately

"You said you can come down here..."

"Yea, I can be on my way right now. I actually took the liberty to wait at my dad's launch pad for his private jets. I can be there in 2 hours tops."

"Ok. Good."

I think calling Olivia over is more than appropriate. It is nice to hear both sides of the story. I just hope she complies.

"Benson." She states.

I inhale. "It's me, Casey." I tell her.

She stays quiet, but I know she is still on the phone. "I need to talk to you."

"About what, Case, because I am really not in the mood to talk." Her voice is shaky.

"It's really important...It's about something you said about Alex...I need things cleared up..." I tell her.

"Well, have you heard the saying what's important to you may not be important to me?" I don't want her to give up now.

"Please Olivia...please." I am hoping she understands.

"I will come...I...we are over...ok...I just want you to know that." Her voice is shaky.

I shut off the phone.

Two hours Later

Olivia comes first. She was obviously crying before she got here. I wanted to give her a hug. She moved away.

A few minutes later Alex appears. She kisses me. It feels weird...kissing in front of Olivia.

I sit them down opposite of one another. I am in the middle.

"I just want to really thank you, Olivia for coming." I sincerely mean that.

"Ok...Olivia can you please tell me about the Alex you know...I can't...I want to know what really happened between you both." I look into her eyes.

She looks down, "I broke up with Alex. I moved on...she didn't...I started dating Abbie...Alex somehow got into Abbie's head and Abbie cheated on me...It sucks to happen twice you know...especially someone you were about to marry...I made amends with Alex a couple years later. She told me that she couldn't get over me and now she is...I believed her and I wanted you two to be friends...I was hoping she would give you tips or something..." Olivia was tear-filled. Her sinuses seemed clogged up because she sniffled a couple hundred times.

I look at Alex with lost eyes, am I just another one of her victims.

"Casey, I did those things...no denying it. I am way over Olivia. I seriously love you and care about you...more than you will ever know. I have done stupid things in the past..."

In a split second I see a figure lunge at Alex. Olivia was beating the shit out of her. "You don't love her like I do Alex. You are a conniving bitch!" Olivia had anger in her voice.

I hurried and pushed Olivia off. "Stop!" I yelled.

I look at Alex's face. She had a couple hand marks on her right cheek. She was not bleeding, thank God, but she was panting for air. She looked more surprised that Olivia just beat her than the pain that should be permeating her face.

"I am going to get ice. Please, be womanlike." I and some ice and I am glad that they listened.

I gave the bag of ice to Alex.

"I love you, Casey. I really do. This is not some personal vendetta I have against Olivia, I swear. I knew I had to have you the moment I saw you. Then I found out Olivia was your five year girlfriend and now fiancé...I just saw what I wanted and I had to have it." She is being sincere. I can somehow feel it. I just hope my decision is the best.

I look at Alex and then to Olivia, who was rubbing her palms. Things are tense in this room.

It's going to be hard but I have to say this. "Lately, Olivia...we have drifted apart...I know you say we are over and I understand...You trusted me and I let you down. Being a part of this mess... I have to say that... I promise to never cheat on someone else as long as I live. I am human... I have needs...Nothing excuses what I did to you. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. I love you and I always will...but my heart lies with Alex Cabot," Alex's eyes grew wide. Olivia looked like she saw this coming. "I love her...She has become my best friend...my lover...my..." tears flow out of my eyes, "I never really stopped to admire her. After a walk, I really knew that she was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I am done hiding my feelings for her. I never intended to hurt you. I just want you to somehow be happy for me Olivia." I feel so relieved.

Alex doesn't move from her chair.

Olivia shoots up, "Have a nice life." She walks out the door.

I get up to catch up to her. I hand her the ring. "Your night shifts are over..." I tell her.

She nods and places it back in my hand, "I hate this so much right now. You can keep it...pawn it...I don't know...but I really don't want a reminder of what could have been."

She leans to kiss me. "Bye Casey." She enters her car.

I turn to walk into the house. "Alex?" She isn't on the chair. She taps me on the shoulder. I turn around.

"Stand right here. I wanted to do this in New York...but you planned a vacation. Now, that I am chosen...I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want this to be perfect."

I watch as men come in with roses. Each with a certain posture to themselves, it had to be a thousand roses piling up in my hand.

Then Alex comes in with a rose. "A rose reminds me of you...Delicate, serene, a gracious scent...It may prick your finger." She gets on one knee.

I am bawling right now. She pulls out a white box. "but hey that comes with a relationship. I am willing to live through it. I know this may be hasty, but I have planned this day since we both said I love you. I love you and I truly want to spend the rest of my life with you, Case."

She opens the box and lifts it towards me. "I fought for you and I won...kind of...I wasn't really thinking of get slapped around." We both laugh.

"I guess what I am really trying to say is, Will you marry me, Casey Novak?"

She is trying to hold her composure.

"Yes." I don't even feel like puking either. She removes the roses and grabs my hand and places the ring on my finger. She kissed me and hugged me.

I am really happy.
