Thank you so much everyone for the wonderful reviews and I hope everyone enjoys part two.
As the case dragged on, Alicia was sure she would be getting pizza in the next few days. And she never thought in her life that she would crave pizza so much in her life. She was content with how the case was going but couldn't help the subtle looks that they shot each other throughout the case. In the courtroom, in his office, in lobby, in her office. It was getting out of hand but she kind of liked it. Causing her day to move by smoothly, with the exception of Mr. Gold accusing them of sleeping together when they hadn't, yet. Other than that everything was fine until Will called her late at night needing help on the case.
The kids were asleep and she had hoped, since Peter was there, that she could sneak out and be back home as quickly as possibly. Wrong.
"Hey, you leaving, it's late?" Peter asked as he walked out of her bathroom. Trying his hardest to hold his temper down.
"Yeah, you know perks of a lawyer." She said with a smile as she started towards the door.
"All nighter?" He asked, hoping to catch her in a trap.
"No a couple more hours, shouldn't be too long." Intrigued by all of the questions. She reached for the door when once again Peter's voice stopped her.
"I found condoms in your drawer." He said less as a statement and more as a accusation. Alicia was stunted by blatant way he placed his words.
"I was looking for something to open the box with and….I saw them. I assumed they were Zach's. That you took them from him and had appropriate sex talk. But then you would have given them back." The heat had already started to rise in her and any minute now all hell would break loose. But Alicia calmly responded.
"And they just couldn't have been mines off the back?" She asserted, fumes starting to explode from her body.
"I had hoped that you wouldn't need them, especially since you had an IUD." Peter said calmly, only pissing her off more.
""Nope got it removed. And since we are talking about it, why?" She said letting her anger get to her.
"Why what?" Peter said oddly confused.
"Why do you care if I had condoms, I never asked you if you did while sleeping with hookers. And I never did go through your drawers. Did you searched them all because I have some in the closet. Who knows what's up there maybe a hooker." Alicia said already regretting her last words.
"I said I was looking for something to open the box with. And that is a low blow Alicia, You know I never meant to hurt you." Peter said raising his voice, letting his anger engulf him.
"No, a low blow is what Amber did to you. And as far as hurting me, you don't care, you don't even trust me when you were the one sleeping around, not me." Alicia said almost screaming. They were now only a few feet away from each other and looking as though they could kill each other.
"Alicia why can't you just trust me and I said I was sorry. How many times, how many?" He said throwing his hands in the air. Alicia grabbed the condoms from Peter and said.
"Your sorry's are never going to be enough. And I can't trust you until you learn to trust me and yourself." With that she stormed out of the house and let a stunted Peter stuck in her room.
Hours later after everyone had left, it was just Will and Alicia in his office again, as usual. They were starting to pack up when Will realized that she did not get up.
"Hey leesh you ok?" Will said breaking Alicia's concentration.
"Huh?" She said shaking her head and making contact with Will.
"You ok?" He repeated stepping closer to Alicia, popping her comfort bubble.
"Yes, just thinking?" She said staring out into space. Will sat down next to Alicia making contact with his knees. This brought Alicia back and forced her to stare at Will.
"About?" He said breaking contact to be more comfortable. Feeling the loss of contact she shifted towards him, bringing them closer together.
"Peter." Will cringed at the sound of his name on her lips.
"Oh, am I keeping you?" He asked, sounding hurt but never leaving her side.
"No, he accused me of sleeping with someone, he probably thinks its you." Alicia said pondering their last conversation. Will however was confused and yet gleefully happy about the fact that he was a candidate in her sexual life.
"Me?" He said teasingly.
"Yes, you. Long hours, late nights, and frankly I can't blame him." Will's eyebrows shot up and he looked directly at Alicia. She turned to him and smiled.
"Oh come on, the talk we had. AND the one before that. I see the looks you give me I'm not blind." Alicia said elbowing Will. He looked shocked. Am I that obvious? He wandered.
"I know you aren't. But are we having the talk now?" He asked, because he surely wasn't ready. Alicia only waved her hands over the table.
"I don't see pizza Will, so I'm assume that this isn't the talk." She said trying hard not to smile.
"Good, Because I was not prepared." Alicia laughed bringing music to Will's ears.
"Funny thing, I am." She said as she pulled out the condoms from earlier and started waving them in the air. Will quickly took them from her and tossed them back into her bag.
"Leesh." Was all he pleaded as Alicia continued to laugh at Will's erratic behavior.
"Oh Will, no one is here. We are alone as usual." She stated as she began to collect herself to go home.
"Heading home?" Will stated the obvious as he got up already missing the contact.
"Yeah. Kids." She said grabbing her coat.
"Let's walk out together nothing left to do now." She agreed and walked to the elevator after Will grabbed his things and turned the lights out.
The ride down was a quiet awkward one. Alicia could not stay away from him and he did not mind a bit. Once at the garage he insisted on walking her to her car. There, helping her with her bag in the car. Before helping her in the car her grabbed her hand and kissed her. It wasn't a passionate kiss or a peck on the cheek. It was the perfect mix of both. Leaving her wanting and yet satisfied. He left her right after that and went straight to his car, adding one more thing to the list for the dinner.
Alicia drove off home feeling ecstatic and gleeful. She did not hide her emotions once in her house, making sure peter heard her sigh as she flopped on the bed.
The case ended, but not with pizza or a dinner. And frankly neither one of them cared. Not even Will knowing that Alicia probably used their kiss to rub it into Peter's face later or that they didn't. But the fact that he finally got to kiss those lips was enough for him.
So how did you like it. I decided to talk about the condoms thing because I really did not like the way the writers just dismissed that part. Did anyone else? Please review.
