A/N: I would like to thank everyone who has started reading this story. I'm amazed at the amount of readers and reviews I have for the first chapter. Thank you so much.
Olivia walked up and handed her instructor her test and then quietly made her way out of the room. She felt great going into the test. She knew all the answers last night when Alex quizzed her but there were some trick questions that she was now unsure of. She could only pray that she didn't miss too many questions.
Olivia glanced at the clock as she left the classroom. She had thirty minutes left of the allotted hour for the test. As nervous as she was she decided to run some of it out on the stairs. After about fifteen minutes of running stairs Olivia felt calmer and headed back for her hallway. The last thing she wanted to be was late reentering the room from a test. The last cadet who did that endured a ten minute ass chewing followed by everyone having to do a hundred pushups. She for one wanted to strangle the cadet herself after she completed the pushups.
Olivia jumped to her feet when she saw the green light flicker on signaling them clearance to return. She filed in silently behind her fellow trainees and took her seat.
"Attention, Staff on Deck" The guide shouted as the instructors entered the room.
"What the hell did you pussy do last night?" The head drill instructor shouted "Were you out drinking or just decide the criminal codes were not that important."
Olivia felt her heart sink as the drill instructor began ranting
"No Drill instructor, Sir" Everyone shouted together.
"You could have fooled me. I swear to you I have never seen worse grades in my entire career. My five year old daughter could have done better than each and every one of you. What the hell am I saying I know she would out do everyone of ya'll"
"Yes drill instructor, sir"
"Do you little panty wearing asses have anything to say."
"We're sorry drill instructor."
"Well I'll be damned everyone got one thing right today you are sorry. The sorriest bunch I have trained to date. Now take your seats."
"Sir yes sir." Everyone shouted again as they took their seats.
The drill instructor began walking around as he shuffled through the test papers.
"Cadet Jones wonderful job." The instructor said as he slapped the paper down on the table "a sixty fucking four."
The instructor continued down the row of cadets "Cadet Campbell how did you think you did?"
"Not good drill instructor sir."
"Damn straight not good you made a whole whopping fifty six. What the hell did you do last night?"
"Studied sir."
"Not enough."
"Cadet Benson" the drill instructor shouted as he came to stand in front of her. "On your feet Cadet Benson."
Olivia jumped to her feet as she felt her heart start pounding out of her chest "Yes sir drill instructor."
"Center of the room now."
Olivia quickly went to the front of the class room and snapped to attention.
The drill instructor marched over to where she stood.
"What did you do last night Cadet Benson?"
"Sir studied sir."
"Are you sure about that?"
"Sir yes sir."
"You know what cadet. I believe you. Do you want to know why?"
"Sir yes sir."
"Because Cadet Benson you scored the highest. Your test score is a 98. You missed one fucking question. As a matter of fact you're the only one to score an a."
"Sir thank you sir."
The drill instructor turned to face the rest of the class "It appears that cadet Benson is the only one to have self discipline. The rest of you need to be taught it." The Drill instructor looked at everyone before shouting "Hit the floor!"
Every cadet assumed the push up position and waited for the instructor to start sounding off.
"Each and every one of you is disgrace to this department, this uniform, and most importantly to this badge." The drill instructor turned and noticed that Olivia was on the floor in the push up position "Cadet Benson you made the highest score why the hell are you on the floor?"
"Sir my classmates are my team. There is no I in team sir."
"I'll be damned I have one cadet who understands that law enforcement is a team and family. Every damn one of you need to thank Cadet Benson. She just made my heart bleed. Everyone on your feet."
Everyone jumped to their feet instantly in the position of attention.
"Guide call the class. I don't want to see any of these sorry asses until 0730 Monday morning." The drill instructor ordered as he marched from the class room.
"Class ATTENTION" the guide called out per protocol "Class will resume at 0730 Monday morning. Class Dis-missed."
Olivia quickly gathered her belongings and headed for the locker room. Normally after class on the weekends Olivia would be in the training room but this weekend was different. She found herself wanting to leave and see Alex.
Alex had her back to the door wiping down a table when Olivia walked in. Not that that mattered. She knew it was Olivia without ever having to turn around. It was something about the way her body came alive whenever Olivia was in a room always told her she was near.
Alex's breath caught in her throat when she turned around and her eyes met Olivia's.
Olivia was leaning against the door with a cocky smile across her face. She was wearing black jeans with a black shirt that seemed to form and define every muscle of her taunt stomach. What really set it off was the black leather jacket she was wearing.
Alex tossed the rag on the table and slowly made her way through the maze of tables. There was a smile of appreciation that crossed her lips when she noticed how Olivia was looking at her. As she got closer to Olivia she put a little extra sway in her hips noticing how Olivia's eyes darkened when she did.
"I didn't think I would see you till next Thursday."
"Normally you wouldn't" Olivia responded as she reached out and pulled Alex to her "But I passed my test thanks to you. I made the highest score in the class a 98."
Alex wrapped her arms around Olivia's neck "Anything to help New York's finest"
"When you say anything do you mean anything?" Olivia asked as mischief entered her eyes.
Alex gently swatted the back of Olivia's head "I am a lady so I do have my limits."
"That you are and that you shall be treated as. I was wondering if you would like to go out tomorrow night."
"That sounds wonderful but could we make it Sunday instead I always work double shifts on Saturdays."
"Sunday it is. Now where do you live so I can pick you up?"
"Right here."
"In the diner. Now I've heard being married to your job but that is ridiculous."
Alex laughed "No I rent a small one bedroom apartment above the diner. The entrance is on the side of the building. I'm apartment 2."
"I will see you Sunday at one then" Olivia said as she released Alex "By the look of the cook I need to let you get back to work."
Alex glanced over her shoulder and noticed the look she was getting "yeah I guess so. I'll see you on Sunday."
