Just a short chapter! I hope you like it.

Olivia had felt all morning an unsettling feeling deep in her chest. The kind one that was usually present at the calm moments that precede a storm. It's a troublesome emotion that puts you on tension, even if nothing is going to happen at the end. At least she had been too busy to lend it too much attention. It wasn't until she had to go to Rafael's office to bring him a new evidence, that she understood that feeling. Because as she passed Carmen's work table she heard the high voices in Rafael's office. They were harsh and too low to her to understand what was happening.

Olivia had barely had time to look at the other woman when de DA jumped out the door and without a word he hurried away.

"What was that?" Olivia asked.

"I don't want to know," Carmen said. "I only hope that Mr. Barba isn't too upset after that, he has a meeting with the judge in thirty minutes."

"Good luck with that" Olivia muttered more to herself.

"He's all yours" Carmen smiled at her as she went away.

She took a deep breath before she went through the door. Rafael didn't notice her as she went to close the blinds. He was too focused on his own thoughts.

"Rafi," She said as she slowly went behind him. Touching his shoulder as he turned to her. "Rafi, it's ok" Olivia tried.

"No, it's not!" He shouted "He can't expect that I'm going to do what he said"

"Just..."

"It's unthinkable!" He wasn't listening to her.

"Rafi!" She screamed too grabbing him by his tie to make him look at her. "Breath" She ordered him. "Breath with me because at this rate you are going to have a heart attack sooner than later and that can't happen. Ok?" She didn't stop looking at him trying to help him. "Then you'll tell me what happened". Rafael could only nod.

After a bit, Olivia guided him to the sofa, to be a bit more comfortable. She sat there and brought Rafael with her, making him lay on the sofa with his head on her thighs. And she started to rub her fingers through his hair, making him close his eyes and almost purr of pleasure. They both knew how that simple action made him all compliant.

Once he was calm she started to ask him about his previous conversation. Without stopping her hand on his hair, she learned how the DA had asked him to protect his nephew. The same man who was one of the suspects investigated in the current case.

They started to discuss his dilemma, both on the same team, forgetting as always about the time. Until Carmen appeared through the door quietly.

"Sir, I'm sorry to disturb but I should remind you that the meeting with the judge is in five minutes" She smiled at the pair.

"Thank you, Carmen, he'll be out in a minute" Olivia answered the woman since Rafael seemed to be mute.

It wasn't until Carmen left that he talked again.

"You don't mind that she saw us like that?" Rafael asked surprised that Olivia hadn't made any kind of move once Carmen had opened the door.

"No," She said as she kept caressing him.

"Oh!" He seemed a bit surprised, but he didn't make any kind of move. He was too much comfortable.

"She already knew about us" That made him look back to Olivia. "Don't tell me you didn't at least suspect it" She smiled "Because if it's a no, what an attorney you are?" Olivia said as she kissed him on his forehead.

"Why do you think that?"

"Well, besides the fact that she didn't stop me from getting in here after your conversation with de DA. She even said to me that you were mine. And she was the one who found and gave me back my lost earring a few weeks ago"

"Oh! The one with the little emerald"

"That one"

"Mmmmm" Rafael seemed thoughtful. "Now I understand those looks she gave me," He said squeezing his hold on Olivia. "Sometimes she scares me, with all that she knows"

"Yeah, I share the feeling," Olivia said as she kissed him on the lips. "Feeling better?"

"Yes, thank you."

"You are welcome" Olivia smiled at him as they got up.

They knew they each had to go to work again, but it was always easier to think than to do it. This time it has her phone that helped her.

"Go get them, tiger!" She said to him before taking her phone and starting her way to her office again.
