Chapter 9: Central Park, Parque Central
When the crew landed back in New York, they were so happy to get back to their homes and relax before going back to the precinct the next day.
Nick and Amanda took a Lyft car back to Nick's mom place to pick up her dog Frannie.
Fin and Sonny drove to a Burger King before going their separate ways.
Barba and Effy made their way back to their apartment by Uber car.
"What an eventful weekend." Effy said, turning her phone back on.
"Eventful indeed. I'm just excited to get back home and into my own bed." Barba replied.
"Rafi, why don't you get into bed with me?" Effy asked.
Barba looked at Effy, he couldn't handle how cute she looked when she wanted something; her green eyes seemed to sparkle when she was excited or just content.
"Of course, preciosa (precious)" Barba said, kissing her forehead.
EFFY AND BARBA'S APARTMENT
EFFY'S UNIT
6:30AM
"I'm gonna freshen up, I'll only be a few minutes." Effy called as she put her bags down and made her way into the bathroom with some clothes in her arms.
"I'm gonna raid your snacks babe!" Barba replied, as he began to look through her cabinets and fridge.
Barba was in awe at how stocked she had her fridge and cabinets.
She had all of her sweet snacks in one cabinet, salty treats on a shelf, dried snacks above the fridge along with Lucky Charms cereal, S'morz cereal, Oreo O's, Raisin Bran, and Reese's Puffs. In her fridge she had yogurts, salads, cheeses, butters, condiments for ice cream, and endless other things.
However, her wine cabinet seemed to be lacking. Well, most of her liquor was nonexistent. Barba knew he had to change that.
But…when he turned around, his mind was nowhere near wine anymore.
Effy came out of the bathroom drying her hair with a towel, donning an off shoulder Chicago Blackhawks jersey and black boy shorts.
"Your turn." Effy said, grabbing a water bottle from the fridge.
Barba wasted no time and made a break for the bathroom.
(A/N: OKAY PRETTY SURE WE CAN GUESS WHAT HE'S DOING IN THERE. HE'S TAKING A COLD SHOWER, PERVERTS.)
Barba couldn't take his mind off Effy's body once again. All he could think of was pulling her clothes off and ravaging her on the plush couch in the living room. However, he felt like he needed to behave himself; it was early in the morning, and the man needed some sleep.
When he finished, he went into his bag and grabbed some black boxer shorts he bought from Under Armour over the course of their vacation weekend.
Towel drying his hair, he went into Effy's room where his sleeping beauty was resting soundly.
His erection slowly calmed down as he marveled over the view of Effy's chest heaving slowly, her wavy hair cascaded over the pillow, and her long legs peeking out of the covers.
He carefully crawled into bed with her, hopeful that he didn't disturb her sleep.
It would seem that he didn't, given she turned around in her sleep and rested her head on his chest.
"Absolutely gorgeous" Barba whispered, kissing Effy's forehead before nodding off to sleep.
11:30AM
Effy woke up to an empty bed, wondering where Barba went.
"Baby! Where are you?" she called out.
"Kitchen!" he called back.
Effy walked out to the kitchen where Barba was sitting on the counter eating kiwi yogurt, wearing only his boxer shorts.
"You got out of bed…to eat yogurt." Effy said, her head tilted to one side.
"I found an edible in your drawer. I'm actually kind of high right now and I really wanted yogurt." Barba said, clearly enjoying the yogurt.
"At least you're wearing pants…on my marble counter…" Effy sighed, getting on her tippy toes to kiss his cheek.
"What do you want to do today?" Barba asked, almost busting his shit trying to get off the counter.
"I don't know, to be quite honest with you." Effy replied, sitting on her windowsill and watching people go about their day outside.
"Well, we could go to Central Park and walk around. You could wear something pretty, I'll buy you a big, soft pretzel. How's that sound?" Barba asked, walking up next to Effy and holding her hand.
"That sounds really nice. I'll go get dressed." Effy said, getting up.
While Effy hurried off to her room to go get dressed, Barba went and grabbed something from his bag to put on.
10-15 minutes later, Effy put her gun and badge in her purse after deciding on a knee-length, tight, mint skirt, a black short-sleeve, and simple black wedges. She straightened her hair and put on some light makeup.
Barba opted for black skinny jeans (A/N: just work with me here, I think he'd look hot in them. Fight me.) , a grey v-neck shirt, and grey converse low top sneakers.
When Barba came back into Effy's unit, he was speechless when he saw her emerge from her bedroom.
"It's just the park." Barba said, his voice cracking as his eyes glazed up and down Effy's body.
"You never know who's watching you." Effy said simply, grabbing her keys and pulling Barba's arm to get him to start walking.
CENTRAL PARK
1:30PM
Effy and Barba walked around the park, talking animatedly and sharing frozen lemonade.
"Is the park always this busy?" Effy asked, taking a spoonful of lemonade.
"Well, yeah. Tourists and locals alike practically LIVE at this park." Barba replied, taking a spoonful as well.
Effy and Barba took it upon themselves to take a selfie to commemorate the moment. But as Barba was getting ready to take the picture, some guys with fancy professional cameras and their assistants got a good look at the pair.
"Excuse me, but are you two models?" One of the guys asked.
"Us? No, not at all." Effy said, looking as confused as Barba.
"Well, we're photographers from Vogue, we were absolutely speechless at how gorgeous you and your boyfriend are. May we take a few shots of you? Free of charge for you two, and maybe a few shots will be featured in this month's issue? We're collaborating with Humans of New York and we'd love to get your gorgeous faces in a spread!" The other photographer explained.
Effy paused for a second, looked at Barba, who wasn't much help because he was actually looking forward to it.
"Well, sure. It sounds like fun." Effy said.
For a good two hours, the photographers were hard at work, getting good shots of Effy and Barba in front of hotels, fountains, landmarks, and just a few romantic shots for just the two of them.
After they were finished, they were asked a series of questions.
Effy's Questions:
"How old are you?"
"Next Question."
"Occupation?"
"Detective"
"Birthplace"
"Dominican Republic, and Chicago, Illinois"
"Relationship to this man?"
"Loving girlfriend"

"Don't let anyone tell you that you can't be you. You're valid, important, and I love you."
Barba's Questions:
"How old are you?"
"34"

"Thank you both, you're both absolutely lovely people and I already feel like we have known you forever! We already have a title for the spread. "For the Love of the Law…And Each Other!"
"Oh, thank you! This was really fun!" Effy said.
"No problem! We'll be in touch and send you the first copy of your spreads" Said the photographer who later introduced himself as Nicholai, and his cohort Jansen.
Effy and Barba continued walking and talking about trivial things until Effy heard a scream a distance away.
"Baby, did you hear that?" Effy asked.
"No, I didn't hear anything. What's wrong?" Barba asked, slightly worried.
"I think someone might be in trouble. Come on!" Effy and Barba hurried toward where she heard the sound, and could hear things getting louder.
"GET OFF OF ME! HELP ME! SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP M—"
The screams were cut off by something blunt and possibly heavy.
"Oh fuck." Barba muttered, holding Effy's hand firmly.
"I'll be back. If anything happens to me, well…nothing's gonna happen to me." Effy said, kissing Barba on the lips briskly and hurried toward what sounded like a crime in progress.
Barba quickly followed several steps behind her, putting Olivia on speed dial.
"Elizabeth Santa Rosa, NYPD! Is everyone okay?" She called out, pointing her gun, and her badge around her neck.
She started walking and jogging in the direction of the noise.
As Effy got closer, the voice got louder
What Effy saw made her stomach turn in big knots.
"Oh my god, honey! Are you okay?" Effy said, hurrying to the aid of a woman, bloodied, semi-conscious, and her clothes ripped apart. The blunt object in question was a heavy rock used for putting around freshly planted trees.
"I need a bus to Central Park, by the bridge, past the statue. I have a woman here, mid-20's, she's been badly assaulted and going in and out of consciousness. She's lost a lot of blood." Effy called from her phone.
"He's…right…behind you…" the woman rasped, her breathing was ragged.
Effy felt someone invading her space and her fighting instincts kicked in. She elbowed who she thought was behind her.
The person behind her was the "he" the woman warned her about. She held him down as she saw police officers running in her direction.
"She was asking for it, I swear. You see the way she's dressed, she was practically begging for it!" The guy said, trying to break away from Effy.
"Is there a bus on the way?" Effy asked the police officers as they put the guy in handcuffs and hauled him off.
"They should be here in 5, 4, 3, 2…" The officer counted down.
"Where's the victim?" The EMTs called, running in Effy's direction with a stretcher and equipment.
"1" the officer finished as they ran up to him, Effy, and the woman.
"She's right here." Effy said, kneeling next to the woman.
"It's okay sweetheart, the paramedics are here, and they're gonna take good care of you. I'll be there when they give me the green light to see you. Tu estas bien (You're okay)." She said to the woman as they picked her up and carted the woman to the ambulance.
Barba and Olivia, along with Fin, Nick, Amanda, and Sonny were sprinting to the scene of the crime.
"Jesus, there's so much blood. Is she okay?" Olivia asked, worry clear in her voice.
"Yeah, for a second there, I thought I was next. He was right behind me ready to attack me. If I didn't sense my space being compromised, I would have been on that ground with her." Effy said, her voice shaking.
"Well, we're glad you're okay. They're taking her to Bellvue. They'll let us know in about two hours if it's okay to see her." Amanda said, handing Effy a bottle of water.
Barba pulled Effy into his embrace and held her tight. "I don't think I could live with myself if anything happened to you. I almost lost it in California; Baby, I can't go through that again. I just can't." he whispered to her, kissing her forehead and face over and over.
"Let's head back to the precinct, get our thoughts together, and figure out our moves. Our suspect is in custody and should be in our holding cell shortly." Nick said.
The crew made their way to their cars, but as they got their cars, they couldn't help but notice Effy's clothes.
"You look good Effy" Sonny said.
Everyone else agreed.
PRECINCT
SVU SECTION
After giving Olivia the rundown on the crime scene, she was feeling really shook up, so she excused herself to the bucks, with Barba following her in.
Barba sat in the bucks with Effy, his arms around her waist.
"Do you want to go home? Amanda offered to get some answers from the victim so we can head back." Barba asked.
"I guess. I'm feeling so bummed about what happened." Effy replied, looking up at Barba, her eyes tearing up.
"You did your job, and you did it well. There's no need to be sad, love. You did your very best." He said, looking at her already crying eyes.
To him, Effy had the eyes of an angel and it made him feel so sad to see her in such a state of despair.
Barba and Effy's eyes met and the space between their faces gradually got smaller.
The two were locked in a deep kiss as Barba wiped away her tears with his thumb.
"Let's go home, where we can pick this up later." Barba whispered, putting her head against his chest.
Effy nodded as they both got up.
"Y'all head home and relax. We'll see you guys tomorrow, okay?" Amanda said, taking a bit of gummy bears from her desk.
Olivia nodded approvingly and sent them out on their way.
Effy put her gun in her locker and followed Barba out the door.
"They're gonna make the sex" Sonny joked.
Amanda threw gummy bears at him. "Shut the fuck up, Carisi."
EFFY AND BARBA'S APARTMENT
BARBA'S UNIT
Effy and Barba decided to go to Barba's unit to blow off steam.
"That never gets easy." Effy sighed, pouring herself some bourbon on the rocks in a tumbler after kicking off her shoes.
"I know, princess, I know." Barba replied, hugging her from behind.
"But you can't be a hardass all the time. It's okay not to be okay." He murmured against her shoulder.
Effy turned around and looked at Barba. "I'm okay when you're near" she said lovingly, pulling him close to her.
Barba took advantage of the situation and picked her up bridal style.
He carried her to his room and gently placed her on the bed.
"Where did we leave off at the precinct?" he asked her as he crawled up to her.
"I think we left off somewhere here" Effy whispered as she pulled him for a kiss.
Barba pulled her closer to him, their bodies almost melting into each other.
"I can't get enough of you…" he breathed into her lips as he pulled off her shirt.
Barba started kissing and biting Effy's neck, hard. He was thriving on the sounds she made. Every gasp and moan was like a never-ending song he loved to hear.
Effy pulled off Barba's shirt and flipped him over so she was on top.
Once she got Barba on his back though, she got off of him and stood in front of the bed.
With an eyebrow raised, he sat up looking at her.
"You okay?" Barba asked.
"Of course" Effy said softly. She motioned for him to come to her, and he complied as he crawled up to her on all fours.
She then turned around, looking over her shoulder with heavy-lidded green eyes, now darkening with want.
"Unzip me."
In what seemed like a millisecond, Barba unzipped Effy's skirt and pulled it off.
Barba was face-to-face with the lace clad and very toned ass he worshipped.
As well as a thigh holster fit for an iPhone-shaped stun gun.
He got up on his knees and whispered in Effy's ear, "Turn around."
Effy turned around and Barba fell in love with her all over again.
Her long, straight hair falling over her eyes and shoulders, her green eyes that could bring a man to his knees, her large and perky breasts caressed in black lace, her tattoos adorning her tan, curvy body, her sensitive womanhood teasingly hidden by black lacy boy shorts, and her thigh holster holding her stun gun made a certain Rafael Barba's heart skip several beats.
To him, Effy was his James Bond girl: Sexy and dangerous.
He took her by the waist and used one hand to slide off her thigh holster. As it hit the ground, he kissed her fervently, keeping one hand on her waist and the other tangled in her hair.
"I crave you." Barba whispered in Effy's ear, his hands snaking towards the hooks of her bra.
With one snap, she was braless.
However, Effy wasn't going to be the only one barely dressed that night.
Her hands found their way to his jeans and unbuttoned them effortlessly. Barba kicked them off and let his hands roam her body.
He grabbed her waist after tossing aside the bra and pinned her down with his waist.
"I'm sure you don't need underwear anymore, so let's get rid of these." Barba whispered, kissing her and using both hands to slide her boy shorts off.
Barba enjoyed what he was seeing.
Effy was in his bed, completely naked. He saw this sight in California, but it was so much more intimate seeing her naked on his own bed.
Barba bent down to continue kissing Effy, but started trailing feather-light kisses down her body until he reached her womanhood.
He reached in between her legs, kissing her inner thighs, teasing her.
"Papi, you're being such a tease." Effy moaned softly, intertwining her fingers with his.
"You're one to talk. You look so good it's almost a sin to reach out and touch you." He whispered into her thighs as he trailed closer and closer toward her womanhood.
"Enough talk, my love." Effy groaned.
Barba took that as a signal and dove into her womanhood.
Effy's legs felt weightless as he kissed and nipped at her over and over again. She was in heaven.
Sensing that Effy was feeling rather blissful, Barba decided to switch it up; with one hand, he held her waist down as he continues to go down on her, and with the other hand, he slipped off his boxer shorts.
He stopped for a split second to reach up and kiss her hard on the lips, letting her taste herself.
"Tell me how you want it…" he whispered in her ear.
"Surprise me." She replied.
Barba positioned his member in the direction of Effy's womanhood as he held her waist with one hand.
He slowly pushed into her, sinking into her body, feeling her heart racing against his own.
"I've been waiting to do this again ever since we left. I've been getting so greedy." He whispered with every thrust.
"Surprised you didn't try to cop a feel earlier when I was sleeping?" Effy groaned, feeling Barba's pelvis meet hers.
"Wouldn't be right to break you out of such a peaceful sleep." Barba sighed, thrusting a little faster.
Effy's hands found their way to Barba's back and with every thrust, her nails dug into his skin.
"Haa. Fuck." He groaned, picking up his speed significantly, feeling her nails drag across his back. Hard.
Effy felt her breathing go ragged as she felt her womanhood tighten with every thrust.
Barba stopped and pulled Effy up to turn her around. He bent her over and thrust into her.
Effy's breathing turned into very loud moans as she felt Barba's pelvis meet her backside and his hand reaching into her hair and grabbing some.
The sex was intensifying, until….
Someone's fucking phone rang.
"WHY?" Barba yelled after pulling out of Effy gently.
"ADA Barba" Barba answered into the phone.
"Rafi it's your mother!" the cheerful voice chirped.
Effy was quietly snickering behind him as she took one of his college sweaters and put it on over her naked body.
"Mama, it's kind of late, shouldn't you be sleeping?" Barba asked, grabbing Effy's bare ass.
"You know it's never too late to talk to you mijo!" Mrs. Barba said, before yawning out loud.
"Go to sleep mama, we can talk tomorrow. We'll even go to lunch." Barba said, motioning for Effy to take the sweater off.
Effy pouted and took it off, throwing it at his face.
"Okay, good night. I love you too." Barba said, hanging up the phone and tossing the sweater somewhere across the room.
"Isn't that cute? Your mommy's checking up on you!" Effy giggled as she crawled under the covers.
"It loses it's cute when I was right in the middle of giving you a body-shattering orgasm" Barba said, crawling under the covers with her.
"Mmm, makes sense." Effy said giving him several kisses.
The two agreed to pick up the sex the next day and fell asleep.
"Thanks mom." Barba quietly grumbled under his breath as he drifted off to sleep.
THE NEXT DAY
Effy woke up to Barba playing with her hair.
She turned over, green eyes staring into green eyes.
"You're so cute" Barba whispered before kissing her good morning.
"Likewise, baby." Effy replied.
The two were interrupted of their sweet moment when they heard a knock on the door.
Barba put on sweatpants and a South Park t-shirt and went to go see whom it was.
"Amanda? Nick?" Effy heard Barba say. She put on yoga shorts and Barba's college sweater and made her way into the hallway.
"Hey guys, 'sup?" Effy said, putting her hair up in a messy bun.
"We interruptin'? We can come back later, but I'm pretty sure this tomato soup would get cold, and the grilled cheeses!" Amanda said, holding up a fancy paper bag.
"Baby, let them in, they have food and we could use some company." Effy said, grabbing orange juice from the fridge.
Barba motioned for them to come in and started helping Nick put out the food. Amanda and Effy were on the couch dishing about some mindless reality show.
"Did we interrupt any sex?" Amanda asked.
"No, his mom took to that when she called last night, haha" Effy replied, laughing a little.
"Carisi was right! Y'all did have sex!" Amanda exclaimed.
Barba tossed pillows at the two playfully yelling "shut up"
"Well, we don't blame you, it was much needed after that intensity at the park." Nick said, passing everyone their food.
"yeah, we wound up having sex too." Amanda said, dipping her grilled cheese into her soup.
The four nodded in agreement as they ate and watched CatDog on the mounted flat screen tv in the living room.
"You have a really nice place Barba, I see why Effy snapchats herself here a lot." Amanda said.
"Of course you'd snapchat here. All your selfies have me in the background." Barba joked.
"You can snapchat yourself in my unit next time" Effy joked back.
"That means two things" Nick said, laughing.
The four shared a hearty laugh at Nick's comment and enjoyed each other's company.
A few hours of food, weed, and television later, Amanda and Nick started getting ready to leave, "Well, Nick and I are gonna head out, we left Frannie with Zara and Gil at his mom's house. Another hour and I'm gonna be picking sparkly stickers out of her fur, or tearing her away from another Super Smash Brothers watching frenzy."
"It was great having you both over, let's do this again sometime!" Effy said, helping them up.
"Thanks for having us, even if it was unannounced!" Nick said.
Barba and Nick shook hands, and Effy and Amanda hugged goodbye.
"That was fun!" Effy said, playing with Barba's hair.
"It was, never really hung out with other couples before." Barba said, kissing her forehead.
The two decided to make their way to Barba's bedroom and threw themselves onto the bed.
"You still high?" Barba asked.
"Yeeeeppp." Effy replied.
"Same." He said.
The two took a weed-fueled nap, with Effy resting her head on Barba's chest.
