Monday
When Alex said she was going to court Casey, she was serious. Casey was in her office when she heard a knock on her door.
"It's open."
A man came in with a wheel cart. "Breakfast for Casey Novak."
"That's me."
He delivered coffee, fresh squeezed orange juice, and a bagel with lox, capers and cream cheese with a side of fresh fruit.
She went to tip him but "the tip has already been included. Good day."
Enclosed was a little note.
C.
I wanted you to start your day off just right.
A.
Casey smiled from ear to ear before she started to eat. She could use a little pampering.
Olivia was finally able to focus at work. She didn't have to have this looming fear about her future anymore. Somehow, she just knew this would all work out.
"Is that you Olivia?" Elliot questioned.
"Of course it's me. Who else would I be?"
"It's just been a while since I've seen you focused."
Olivia flipped him off.
"So you finally made a decision."
"Technically, Alex decided for me, but we're all okay." She purposefully misled Elliot. She didn't want to say what their arrangement was until it was official and until they were all okay with other people knowing.
"Finally," Elliot sighed. "Seriously, I thought you were going to put it off until they both killed you in frustration."
"They're both more patient than you."
"Thank your lucky stars."
Casey came by Alex's office to thank her for breakfast. "Ooh, you get two windows."
"The perks of being a Bureau Chief I guess."
Their conversation didn't last too long. Alex was having personnel issues that she had to address.
"Peluso didn't show up this morning and we go to trial on Wednesday," another ADA told her.
Alex sighed. "Does he have any files that you need?"
"Well no but …"
"Steal Rachel from whatever else she's doing and have her be your second chair." Alex didn't think she'd get Peluso in line by Wednesday.
"Yes Boss."
"I'll get out of your hair," Casey turned to leave.
"I'm looking forward to Thursday."
Casey smiled. "Me too."
Thursday
Alex wouldn't tell Casey where they were going for their date. She only said to be ready for a night on the town. "Think glamour."
Casey wasn't entirely sure what that meant, so she went with a little black dress and pumps.
Alex picked her up from her apartment wearing a midnight blue number and her hair in an updo.
"You look lovely Casey," Alex told her, as she looked the redhead up and down. The dress was cute, fit nicely and showed some leg.
"You look stunning as always."
Alex took her hand. "Shall we?"
The Bureau Chief had arranged a town car for them, so they wouldn't have to worry about finding a cab.
Miles Davis played in the car, and Casey was excited. When was the last time a car picked her up?
The restaurant, Corduroy, was unassuming from the outside, just a big black door, but once they got inside, they could see the ambiance: soft colors, delicate lighting. It was romantic.
"Cabot for two."
"Of course Ms. Cabot." They were seated away from the bar. Alex thought about reserving a private room, but she thought it would be too much.
"Shall I start you off with something to drink?"
"I'll go with the pinot noir," Alex told her.
Casey thought a Guinness wasn't classy enough for this place. "Do you have Chardonnay?"
"Of course."
"You can get whatever you want Casey."
"I don't want to be the only one here drinking beer."
"You won't be, and even if you were, I'd find it charming."
They were offering a three-course prix fix menu.
Alex went with the lobster Carpaccio, prime rib, and a warm chocolate torte.
Casey also got the lobster Carpaccio, but she went with the pork chop and the cheesecake.
"Everything is so beautiful. I feel bad for eating it," Casey said before she took a bite of her main course.
"My mother was all about presentation," Alex said as she took a bite. "She would agonize over how to plate the garnish." Alex missed her so much.
"I'm so sorry for your loss."
Alex nodded. "The worst part was that I wasn't there for her. She fought so hard, and for most of the time, she thought I was dead."
"You survived Alex. I know that's all your mother cared about."
After dinner, they went to see I Love You Because, the modern day musical inspired by Pride and Prejudice.
When they got to their seats, Casey's first thought was I hope this play isn't serious. She felt a bit out of her league. Alex was so cultured and refined. What if this is all in Italian or something?
To Casey's delight, it was a silly rom-com; the kind she would love to watch, but Olivia would fall asleep in a heartbeat.
The women leaned into each other as they watched the show. Alex could smell Casey's perfume and she really wanted to grab the redhead and kiss her right now, but it would have to wait until they had some privacy. If someone they knew saw them, it would create a lot of drama.
When the final curtain closed, Alex asked Casey how she liked the play.
"It was cute."
"In a bad way?"
"No, in a good way. I don't think Liv would have been caught dead here."
"I usually picked the more violent plays to keep her awake," like Sweeney Todd would be perfect for her.
"Well, I thought this was charming."
They took the car back to Casey's apartment and Alex gave her a goodnight kiss. When their lips met, a spark surged between both of them.
"Good night Casey," Alex said breathily as she broke away.
Casey moaned internally. Oh did she want more.
When Alex got home, she carefully took off her evening dress and shoes, putting them in their proper place. Then she washed off her makeup and brushed her teeth before getting into bed.
When she closed her eyes, she saw Casey looking gorgeous in her dress. Her lips were so soft. Her timid tongue work was endearing.
I wonder if she'd still be timid if I put my head between her legs.
Alex loved going down and she couldn't wait to get a taste of the Irish beauty. Even the thought of it got Alex wet.
The blonde slipped her hand down under her covers, gently probing her own wetness.
A fantasy started to emerge. One where Casey was on the couch, Alex was on her knees giving her pleasure. Half way through the scene, Olivia walks in and sees the two in flagrante delicto.
After taking a minute or two to watch, Olivia goes and gets a strap on. She kneels behind Alex and plunges it into her, fucking her wantonly while the blonde finishes off Casey.
Alex's hips started bucking as she imagined her butchy lover taking her from behind. Olivia was built to fuck, perfect height, weight, and stamina.
"OH FUCK"
Alex was so riled up from her date and her fantasy that she came quickly, too quickly. She knew she wouldn't be fully satisfied, however, until she got a taste of her sexy Irish lover.
