Stacia looked from the brunette detective to the door and then back to her. She had truly believed that there was no one more hard headed than Olivia but the two run ins she had had with Alex led her to believe she was wrong. She smiled as she leaned forward and kissed Olivia's forehead.

"I'll be back in a few minutes." She said as she stood and left the room.

Alex quickly walked down the hallway and stopped at the elevator. She continuously punched the button of the elevator in an attempt to make it arrive faster. She had the thought of with all the money they received from her the least they could do would put in faster running elevators. She was just about to give up and head toward the stairs when a hand reached out and grabbed her. She screamed before she could stop herself. She was spun around and found herself staring into a set of grey eyes.

"Alex stop." Stacia said. She opened her mouth to speak again when she felt something cold and hard being pressed into the back of her head.

"Unless you want to meet your maker at this moment I suggest you release your hold on ADA Cabot at this moment."

Alex stared at Stacia and the glanced at her protective detail. Why were they still here? She had dismissed them for the evening when she had arrived. As she stood there staring at Officer Rogers she had a moment where she considered ordering them to shoot her but then she hated herself for that thought. Not only because that wasn't who she was but because if this is who Olivia truly wanted she would never forgive herself for hurting Olivia by taking her from her.

"Lower your weapon Rogers" Alex finally said "This is Stacia, Detective Benson's girlfriend."

"Ex-girlfriend" Stacia said with a smile as she saw the look of confusion pass over Alex's face.

"What?"

"I'm her ex-girlfriend" Stacia repeated with a smile "I would like to buy you a cup of coffee to explain everything."

"I thought you two were together?" Alex mumbled

"We were till a certain blonde woman started working as her ADA." Stacia answered as she guided Alex onto the elevator and punched the button for the cafeteria.

She stared at the blonde and had to shake her head. She had heard Olivia talk about her and how she felt about her but how it could never be returned. How she didn't look at her in the manner that she looked at her. Stacia couldn't help but laugh to herself. For a detective when it came to matters of the heart she was pretty dense.

Alex was trying to grasp what Stacia was telling her. That she was her Ex-girlfriend. If that was true what was it that Fin had seen? Could it just have been as bad as it sounded a simple booty call? That didn't seem like the Olivia she had come to know and fall for though. But then again each person has a dark side.

The elevator stopped on the ground floor and both women walked silently into the cafeteria and fixed a cup of coffee to their liking before finding a table to sit at. Alex stared into her coffee cup for a few minutes till she finally looked up at the woman across from her.

"I'm sorry I caused your breakup" Alex said suddenly feeling very low for what she had caused. It looked like she was a home wrecker after all and she hated that.

"Honey don't worry about it." Stacia said as she reached across the table and patted Alex on the hand "It was what it was. We dated other people and the first time she told me about you I knew that was it. We had fun while we were together but her heart wasn't mine. It never was."

"I never thought she was interested in me." Alex said with a smile "Let me rephrase that. I thought she was for a while. I mean she flirted and everything and then suddenly she stopped coming to see me. It was like she was trying to avoid me."

"It had taken a while but I had finally convinced her to go ask you out. For some unknown reason Liv doesn't believe she is deserving of love. But moving on, from what I could gather her and Elliot had needed to get a warrant or something from you and found you having dinner with a low life scum sucking bottom feeder Trevor Langen. At least that's what she called him."

"A business dinner" Alex groaned was she ever going to live down having dinner with him.

"Well she thought it was more." Stacia informed her "That hurt her, a lot. I tried to get her to talk to you but once she saw that she thanked god she didn't, as she put it, make a total ass of herself. "

"That must have been when Fin saw you."

"Fin?"

"Short story Fin knew the truth about you guys but thought you had broken up till he saw you two at a restaurant."

"Yet you told Cragen I was her girlfriend. Why? I can see you care for her. Hell a blind man can tell that."

"Because her happiness is what matters the most to me. Make no mistake, I want to be the one that puts a smile on her face and the one she cries too when she has a bad day. If for some reason it's not me I want it to be someone she truly loves. I want her to have all the happiness she deserves and then some. Why did you say you were her girlfriend when you arrived at the hospital?"

"Because I thought that was the only way I could see her. I had no clue I would be denied by her Captain. I may no longer be her lover but I am her friend."

"What you said about Elliot?"

"She had made the comment about what she feared Elliot would say or do if he discovered she was gay. She said she couldn't stand to lose him because, him and the guys are her only family left."

"I know." Alex said as she finished her coffee "Listen I never meant to be a home wrecker and I truly am sorry about everything between you and Liv that may be my fault."

"Miss. Cabot don't be." Stacia said as she stood and they headed toward the elevator. "We had what we had and it was good while we lasted. But I am a firm believer that there is someone for everyone and that someone for Olivia is you. I am very thankful that she was respectful enough to come to me and be up front and honest about how she feels. It was because of that we were able to maintain a friendship. One that I would prefer not to lose but I understand if you have a problem with it."

"I understand" Alex said as she stepped onto the elevator "Now that I know the truth on everything I have no problem with you two remaining friends. Actually I wouldn't mind it at all."

"Thank you Alex." Stacia said as she stopped at Olivia's door and looked back at Alex in time to see her walking away.

Olivia looked up with a smile on her face when she heard her door open. Her face fell when she realized it wasn't the blonde she wanted to see.

A/N: Another cliff hanger. Please don't hate me just yet. To everyone who is leaving me reviews thank you so much. I have said it before and I will say it again. You guy's really know how to raise someones spirit when they are down and boost an ego as well.
