The runs between the girls were becoming more frequent. Olivia was finally accepting getting up early in the morning. Alex wasn't becoming sore every time they exercised. They would push each other harder to go longer and faster. They would take turns going to each others apartments to change up their jogging paths.

The sweaty girls walked into a cafe to get breakfast on a Saturday morning. Alex grabbed a free table as Olivia order their food. She didn't need to ask Alex what she wanted to eat. She got to know what the blonde enjoyed to eat and drink. Liv joined Alex at their table with their drinks.

"Thank you." Alex gave Liv a smile. She took a sip of her black tea that was sweeten with honey.

Liv sat down across from the ADA who enjoying her caffeine intake. "You're welcome."

The weekly breakfast between the girls, always made Alex happy. "So we are getting so much better." She informed.

"I told you, I was out of shape. Surprising what a month can do."

Alex scoffed about that remark, "Yeah, sure. You 'were' out of shape." One of the workers placed their food on the table. She admired her egg white spinach and feta omelet. "This smells so good." She took a strawberry out of the dish of fruit.

"It looks good." Olivia observed. She poured the syrup on her pancakes that she order. Liv found it funny how healthy Alex eats in the morning but then usually ends the day with take out that she had in the office. She took a bite of the fluffy pancakes that she loved from the cafe. "Mmm," She smiled.

"Yeah, I agree." Alex stole a hashbrown off Olivia's plate.

Olivia watched the potato leave her plate to enter her friend's mouth. She didn't ask. Liv hardly shares her food, and always willing to anyone what they want. "How's your omelet?" Hopefully Alex would focus on her own food.

"Not bad." She looked at Liv feeling she crossed the line by stealing food. "Would you like to try it?" Her big blues created a smile.

Olivia knew it shouldn't be a big deal, as she fell into her eyes. "No thanks." She responded shocked on how the prosecutor didn't even work her charm on her and she was willing to let her stubbornness slide. "So Alex, what are you looking to do in the districts attorney office?"

Alex had to finish her mouth, "Well. I'm hoping to get DA eventually."

Olivia could see that Alex is determined to get whatever she wants. "DA Alexandra Cabot," She spoke the title, "Has nice ring to it."

"Yes it does, what about you detective, will you always want to be in special victims?" Alex questioned not knowing how she could SVU as long as she has.

"I'm not sure, I'm certainly not going anywhere else anytime."

Alex took another sip of the tea, "Have you always wanted to go to SVU?" She watched Olivia nod to answer question as shoveled the pancake in her mouth. "Doesn't it bother you on the crimes you investigate?"

"Yeah," Olivia agreed to the question.

"If it bothers you, why do it?" Alex was wanting to listening to Olivia's thoughts.

Liv looked away from her plate to look in the blue eyes, "Um..." Liv doesn't usually open up to people especially coworkers, but was clearly different. "My mother was a rape victim, and she had me." Olivia saw the the look from Alex that she always gets from people. "I became a cop to stop the 'bad guys', but SVU can have me help the victims that don't have a voice."

"This must be why you are such a good detective," Alex was finally understanding Olivia, "You have a way with the victims." She always admired the way Olivia could be a hard ass with a perp, but could always get a victim to trust her.

"It's no big deal, this is why I probably won't leave SVU." Olivia explained. There was a moment of silence after Olivia opened up to her friend. "Wow what a way to kill a good time." Liv hated talking about her personal life or talk about her feelings.

Alex took her hand "Well thank you for opening up to me." Alex gave Liv a soft smile. "So, I was thinking..."

Olivia finished her question, "Thinking about what?"

"We have been doing so well running together, I think we should do marathon together."

Liv smiled with the invite liking the idea, "Here?"

"Sure why not, or we could go somewhere else."

"Like where?"

"I don't know Boston, Vegas name a place they will have one." Alex smirked.

Olivia liked the thought of getting out of the city even for a weekend and with Alex would make it better. "Okay we should plan it."

"Then it's settled."

The girls finished up their food to run back to Alex's place, for the need to hang out more. Alex let Liv take a shower to clean the sweat off her body. Alex changed into jeans and a tank top. She changed her braids into a ponytail. Liv put on the jeans and t-shirt. She began to look around her large bedroom. She could tell that Alex was very organized with her clothes. Her closet was organized to business, fun, and color.

Alex being a good host came into her room, "Liv, do you want a water?" She had two bottles of water in her hand.

"Thank you." She took the water out of Alex's hand, "You probably have about three times more clothes than I own." Liv was admiring the shoes that she owned.

Alex's cheeks began to flush, with knowing she did have an addiction to clothes and shopping. "Yeah, well I need all my power suits since you know I go to court everyday." She entered the closet playing with one of her favorite blazer.

"Shoes?" Olivia could always ask, too many questions for simple observations.

"Jealous?"

"A little." Honesty was key to that question.

"Since you are here maybe you can help me what to wear tonight."

Olivia was enjoying the day and didn't realize Alex had plans. "What are you doing tonight?"

Alex was trying to decide what to wear. "Trevor Langan and I going to opening of some play tonight and dinner."

"Trevor Langan?" Liv was surprised to hear that name come out of Alex's mouth. He is a defender that has a nice tongue in the courtroom getting his clients off a lot. "I didn't know you are dating him."

Alex's eyes popped out of her head as she heard the word 'date'. "Dating him no. "

Olivia saw the reaction on Alex's face. She backed out of the closet to sit on the comfortable mattress. "That certainly sounds like a date to me." She knew the reaction was going to be juicy.

"We are NOT dating." Alex leaned on the frame of her closet door to look Liv. Liv cocked her eyebrow not believing her. "Okay we used to in college. But we didn't work out."

"I'm sorry." She wasn't really sorry since she didn't like Trevor. "Why not?"

"We dated for about six months, and entering law school and I didn't want to be tied down while I wanted to be top of the class." Alex was in fact the top of the class. She sat down next to Liv on the bed. The look she was getting knew she had to finish the details. "Plus I wasn't actually attached him." Alex found it curious that she so easily confessed to Liv on a topic that took Abbie Carmichael months to figure out.

Olivia liked knowing about Alex's dating life. "Then why did you go out with him."

"Because I was twenty-one and naive. He is tall, handsome, with a incredible smile. He is also quite charming," she began to think about her life in college." but he wasn't for me."

Liv was curious to why Alex wasn't explaining why he wasn't for her."So?"

Alex wasn't enjoying the third degree she was getting by the detective."Are you saying you aren't friends with any of your exes?" Alex trying defend herself and making the conversation about Olivia instead.

Olivia clicked her tongue to ponder if she answer that question. "I really don't have exes to be friends with them." Alex was memorized by the drying hair and ran the soft hair through her fingers to push the hair out of her eyes. "I'm a lone ranger." Liv didn't want to talk about her hard times with relationships when she wants to know what Alex is doing with her ex. "But are you seriously just friends?"

Alex started to blush with the personal conversation that they were sharing, "Yes, basically we having outings." She was trying to hold information. Olivia was trying not to laugh at the lack of comfort that Alex had. "and we usually have too much to drink..." Her eyebrows cocked up to finish her sentence.

Liv pointed at Alex laughing at her, "Ha I knew it. You are sleeping with the enemy." Liv found the embarrassed prosecutor with lack of words quite adorable.

"Shhh," Alex quickly covered Olivia's mouth pushing her down on the bed. Alex got off the bed to pull away from the interaction. "I'm not ashamed it." She protested her statement.

"Oh no?" She positioned herself to sit back up.

Alex turned back to the brunette. "Nope, Trevor is a nice sweet guy. He is quite attractive," Alex saw it was apparent that Liv didn't enjoy talking about Trevor. "And when we are in bed..."

"Okay I don't need know the details about his sex life." Olivia stood up at the conversation to have Alex stop, eventhough she still kind of wanted to know about Alex's.b

Alex knew the over sharing would stop the interrogation, and felt she should pay the detective back. Alex stepped a half of an inch closer to Liv, "So," She smirk, "If you don't talk to your exes and you hardly date as it is. The how do you get off?" She met the brown eyes. She felt a victory with the cheeks she was looking at became flushed.

Olivia wasn't used to have a girlfriend to talk about her sex life with. She tried to think how she going to answer the question. "What did you want to wear tonight."

Alex's smirk turned into a pearly white smile, "That is not an answer."

Olivia thought to be honest with her friend. She should 'yes, I have use them and lose them situations a lot.' Or maybe she should say she doesn't need anyone to get her off. "You know counselor, somethings should stay a mystery." She whispered in the blondes ears. She walked back into the closet to help pick out the outfit.

The soft spoke words gave Alex a nervous stomach and goosebumps shot all over her body. Again being at loss of words with Olivia, but needing to know about the detective that has come into her life. She had no choice but to the butchy brunette look through her clothes for her to go on a date with someone she wasn't into.
