Olivia and Alex woke up at three in the morning. Alex easily woke up. She turned the light and music on to get ready. "You're not a real person." Olivia struggled getting out of bed.

Alex smiled at the brunette rolling in her bed refusing to get up. "I'm as real as you are, I just know how to get out of bed." She placed her tank top on.

"Because I like to sleep."

Alex started to braid her back, "If you don't get up now you'll be late."

Olivia kicked the blanket off her, "Fine." She sat up to get ready. "I'm up." She walked into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth.

"Good morning." Alex laughed, thinking it was funny how Olivia still hates getting up in the morning.

Olivia walked out of the bathroom to see Alex ready in her running outfit she bought just for the marathon. Alex was looking at herself in the mirror making sure she looked perfect before they left. "Morning yes, good? Not until I get caffeine."

Alex look away from herself to see Olivia put together, "Well hello, are you ready?" She was soaking up Olivia's misery.

Liv squinted at Alex not enjoying the pleasure she gets every morning. "Yes." She walked out the door.


The girls ran the marathon they had good time of three hours and fifteen minutes. Casey and Abbie met the girls at the finish line. They all went to a celebratory breakfast. They went to out to vegas to see the sights and it a casino to try their luck. They got ready for the dinner that came with the marathon package.

The girls were impressed with their outfits. Alex was wearing a peach number on the fell just above the knee. Olivia was in a red form fitting dress. They enjoyed the fancy dinner following the group to a club. They had a couple drinks.

Alex was checking Olivia up and down. She was impressed to see Olivia all dolled up from the normal causal look she had. "So was it worth it?" She asked.

"Was what worth it?" Olivia spoke loudly to hear herself over the music.

Alex leaned in closer to talk with Liv. "The marathon."

Olivia smiled at Alex, and fixed the stray hair on the blonde's face. "Yes it was, but you're letting me sleep in tomorrow."

"Deal." She nodded to agree. "I love this song. Come on." Alex walked towards the dance floor. She turned to Olivia who was still standing at the bar. Olivia shook her head at the ADA. Alex returned to the cop, and took her hand. "Come on it will be fun." She walked backwards with having both hands in her hands.

"Alexandra Cabot, are you trying to have me do something I don't want to do?" Olivia locked her eyes with the ADA, and allowing her to drag her to the dance floor.

Alex smirked at her, "Yes because it's fun." She released one hand to twirl the detective. Alex took the lead on their dancing. She placed her hands on Liv's hips rocking them side to side.

Olivia knew that dancing with Alex was a bad idea. She already had a couple drinks in her and being touched by Alex; she didn't want to anything wrong. Her hands that she rested on Alex's shoulders took Alex's hands to twirl Alex around. Olivia's arms now wrapped her stomach. They moved with the beat of the music. They were pressed against each other. They were taking each other's smells. Their hearts were racing knowing this will be as close as they could get to each other. They both needed to take in every moment.

The song changed into a salsa number, Alex was tired of not looking at Liv. She turned back around to look at Liv. She took Liv's hands once again and moved with the music. She rocked them back and forth by moving their arms. They gained eye contact causing the smiles. At that moment they were the only two on the dance floor.

Liv couldn't handle herself so close to Alex after the forty five minutes on the dance floor. Liv walked through her wall that she has been fighting with herself. Abbie and Casey weren't out with them to interrupt them again. Olivia's fingers brushed Alex's hair out of her face. Her hand trailed down her smooth face. She stepped closer to Alex than what she already was.

Alex knew this sign very clearly. She stopped dancing as she tightened the grip with Olivia's hand. Alex shifted her body closer to Liv.

"You two are so hot." An unknown being placed his hand on Olivia's back. Liv quickly turned away from Alex to look at the man. "We want to know if you want to join us in the Sky box."

Olivia looked at Alex then to the tall Italian man back to Alex, "I need a drink." Olivia needed to step away from Alex from almost crossing the line. She walked to the bar to get another drink.

"We have drinks up there." He answered to see Olivia gone. He looked at Alex, "Well?"

Alex rolled her eyes at the guy, "Sorry we aren't interested." Alex followed Olivia to the bar. She watched Olivia throw back two shots before she stepped beside her.

Olivia was signing out her check. "I'm gonna head back to the hotel. It's late and I need my sleep." Olivia laughed at herself.

"Oh, yeah you're right." Alex was confused on what just happened between the dance floor to the bar. Alex closed out her bar tab as well.

They walked out of the club to hail down a cab, "Did you have fun?" She tried to cut the awkwardness.

Olivia didn't want them to be awkward. She nodded her head."Yeah I did, thanks for pulling me out there."

"You're welcome."

They drove back to their resort. Olivia took a shower and went straight to bed. Alex stayed out of the room to hang out with her fellow Abbie. She poured a glass of wine, she sat down on the couch. "How was your night out with Benson."

"It was good." Alex shortly stated, even though she was frustrated.

Abbie looked at the blonde, "Did you... make out with her yet?" Abbie quietly asked.

Alex's eyes widen from shock with Abbie's accusations. "No!" She shot. "Why would you even think that?" She needed to hear the reasons.

Abbie took a gulp of her wine, "Well for one thing, she is so sexy, and if I had anyone who looked at me the way you two look at each other. I would be all over it." Abbie explained her facts.

Alex's heart was stabbed with those words from Abbie, causing her to fight her tears that could appear. "You're wrong. There is nothing between us." She knew those were the actual facts she was left with. "We are just really good friends." Alex finished her glass of wine.
