Alex, Olivia, and Elliot walked out of the courthouse after a long trial. "How much do you think Kressler will use to try to prove his client's innocence?" Elliot questioned.

"Well he has two scientific witnesses to rebut Warner's testimony. I think we have it though." Alex informed her detectives.

Elliot looked at his watch,"I have to be at Katherine's school in an hour."

"Parent-teacher meeting?" Olivia teased her partner.

Elliot rolled his eyes at her. "I wish. Wizard of Oz will be my night."

Alex smiled, "Awe that was my first play. I was the cowardly lion."

"That's a thought to think about." Elliot laughed thinking young Alex on stage.

"Tell Katherine to break a leg." Olivia stated. Elliot nodded to the girls to bow out of the conversation.

Alex turned to Olivia, "So, Detective what does your night have in store."

"I don't," Liv honestly answered. "I think I am going to order chinese food."

"I… I could walk you home." Alex suggested.

Olivia looked at Alex. Alex hasn't hung out with Liv since Vegas, "Sure, I'd like it."


They strolled to Liv's apartment. They spent the walk catching up on what they did for the past two weeks. Liv invited Alex to walk upstairs to order take out and have a glass of wine.

"Who do you want to order from?" Olivia was walking around the kitchen to pour Alex a glass of wine.

"It doesn't matter I'm down for anything." Alex quietly responded. She stood at the doorway of the kitchen counting the floorboards. She was thinking about Vegas. She needed to know, what would have happen to them. Olivia handed Alex a glass. Alex looked at that glasses in her hands. She took both glasses to place them on the counter. She quickly pressed her lips against hers.

Olivia stepped back to look at Alex. The simple peck felt right. "We can't." Olivia whispered.

"I know." Alex's eyes fell to the floor. "I'm sorry."

Olivia stared at the ADA standing her kitchen; inches away from her. She ran her fingers through the soft hair. Liv's butterflies flew into her stomach as Alex looked back up to her. Olivia tried to catch her breath with looking into the blue eyes. "I'm not." She pulled closer to her. She repeated Alex's motions.

Alex wrapped her arms around Olivia's neck to pull them even closer. Her tongue parted her lips to nudge against Olivia's lips. Liv was accepting of the invitation. They were finding each other's taste irresistible, and never wanted to let it go.

Liv walked them out of the kitchen and to couch refusing to part lips with the blonde. She finally sat down on the couch, having to break the kiss. Alex looked at the brunette that was sitting in front of her. Olivia took her hands. Alex felt that she was dreaming with the actions at play. She wasn't gonna be polite and kiss her sitting beside her. Alex placed her knees next to Olivia's hips, to straddle the detective. Her fingers played with the short hair and trailed down her face.

They couldn't contain their smiles while being in each other's arms. Alex pulled Olivia's chin up to hers. They began another liplock; with more passion. Alex had Olivia pinned against her couch. Olivia's hands rested on Alex's buttocks, they began to trail up and down Alex's body. She was taking in every inch of Alex and every second of that night.

Alex broke the passionate kiss that they shared for minutes, to trail her kisses down Liv's neck. She started to nuzzle on her neck. She took in Olivia's smell and the salty taste of Olivia's skin.


Olivia at some point had Alex on lying on the couch. She broke their make out session that lasted a good two hours, "I need a drink." She couldn't look away from the blue eyes as she tucked the blonde's hair behind her ear.

"Yeah, we might need some water." She laughed at not thinking about time or body needs.

Olivia sat up freeing Alex. Alex sat next to Olivia, both were paralyzed from ecstasy. Alex rested her head on the cushion. She played with Liv's hair. Olivia looked over to Alex with a twinkle in her eyes and messed up hair. They started laughing. Olivia tapped Alex's thigh for her to lift herself off the couch. Alex caught Liv's arm to pull her up.

They trailed back into the kitchen to get water. Olivia deeply inhaled to catch her breath that Alex stole from her. She handed the ADA a cup of water. She watched Alex drink her water. She was happy with the night, "Alexandra." She bit her chapped bottom lip.

Alex slowly looked at Olivia, knowing they were going to talk, "Olivia."

Olivia played with the blonde's hair more. She was mesmerized by Alex's chapped lips, "You know, that we…" Olivia didn't know how to word her statement. She placed her hands on her shoulders.

Alex knew what Olivia was going say. She placed her cup down. "I know." She agreed that her career was more important than a relationship.

Olivia rested her forehead on Alex's. Her hands moved down her arms to hold Alex's hands. Olivia kissed the hands that were trapped in her grip. "At least you know."

Alex kissed Olivia's nose, "It doesn't make it any better." She explained her shattered feelings to Olivia.

"It actually makes it worse." Olivia knew her feelings were the same as the ADA. She pressed her body against Alex; pinning her to the counter. They locked eyes not knowing what they were doing. They didn't want to break the embrace they were in knowing they couldn't talk about the night.

Alex caressed Olivia's cheek, "So what do you want to do."

"If we stop now," Olivia started to kiss Alex cheek, "We can pretend like nothing happened." Olivia couldn't look at Alex while trying to accept the solution.

Alex scoffed at how unbelievable Olivia was being towards her. Liv was nibbling on her ear but telling her to pretend nothing is happening between them. Confused and heartbroken Alex pushed her favorite cop off of her. "Either we are stopping or we're not. You can't do both." Alex couldn't handle being toyed with at that moment.

"I know, I'm sorry." Liv stepped away from Alex to control herself.

Alex knew she wasn't going to give up working SVU until she was moved to something else. Olivia made it clear to her she wasn't going to leave SVU, "I better go." Alex knew if she didn't leave she would end up in bed with Liv. Even though she wanted to be in bed with Liv; she couldn't live with herself being a one night stand. "I'll see you tomorrow in court."

Olivia was at a loss of words knowing Alex was right to leave. As much as she wanted her stay it was best for them that she left. Liv fought the tears that she felt coming so Alex wouldn't see her vulnerable. "Okay."

She watched Alex leave. She shut the door behind the ADA. Liv rested her back against the door not being able to move. She slid down the door as her heart was ripped into a thousand pieces.
