Alex and Olivia's Apartment
Friday 3rd March
5:12am
Alex and Olivia were sleeping peacefully until the shrill sound of Olivia's cell phone woke them both up. Alex groaned into her lover's neck as Olivia reached onto her night stand feeling her way to her phone's location. Once she located the phone, she flipped it open, her voice still full of sleep.
"Benson."
Alex didn't even bother opening her eyes, she just waited patiently for Olivia to finish her call.
"I'm on my way, El." the brunette said into the phone before flipping it shut. She turned to her sleeping lover. "Alex, sweetie, we got a lead on the Hudson case. I gotta go." she said before placing a kissing on Alex's cheek and making a move to get up. Before she had the chance to vacate the bed, Alex pulled her back.
"Not so fast, Detective."
"What can I do for you Counsellor?" Olivia asked with a suggestive tone.
"I know you cant say what time you will be home tonight but promise me one thing?"
"Anything."
"At least try to get home before 9." Alex said, feeling rather sheepish, knowing Olivia's job wasn't 9-5 but it was important; and if it wasn't important, she wouldn't ask.
"I promise you, I will do my best." Olivia replied kissing her lips tenderly. "I love you."
"I love you more." Alex grinned then let her grip loosen on her brunette girlfriend. Alex rolled onto her side and watched Olivia get undressed for her shower. She couldn't help but admire her curves, so womanly, so feminine…so hers. Alex licked her lips.
"Do you want some company?"
"No, I don't think I do." Olivia said, teasing Alex and giving her a lopsided grin. "Get your sexy ass in here."
Alex quickly rid the covers off her, stripped and practically ran to the bathroom. "You just can't resist me, Benson." Alex teased as she brushed past Olivia, letting their naked chest's touch for the briefest of moments.
There was a sharp intake of breath before she answered. "No. No I can't." Came Olivia's simple reply before following her blonde girlfriend into the shower.
7 hours later, Alex was working from home. Being the Bureau Chief had its perks. She felt like she was drowning in paper work, it was spread all over the coffee table and she was on her 4th coffee of the day. Alex decided she would take a short break, maybe it would help jump start her brain. She also had to make sure she had everything for later, tonight was going to be a big night. Alex felt the butterflies surge in her stomach.
Alex decided now was as good a time as any to make her phone call. She sifted through the papers on her coffee table till she found her cell phone. She dialled the number and waited.
"Stabler."
"Hi Elliot, it's Alex."
"Alex, hey, what do I owe the pleasure?"
"I need to ask you for a favour. Can you talk?"
"Sure. Paper work can wait, the perp we caught this morning confessed, was easier than we thought. He was kinda stupid." Elliot chuckled.
"Oh so you might get home at a decent time tonight?"
"Looks that way yeah. Is that what you were calling for?" he asked puzzled.
"No, well kind of. Is Liv there with you?"
"She just went to the ladies room."
"Ok good, don't tell her I called but If you guys aren't busy later can you make sure Liv get's home for about 7?"
"Sure, I will personally kick her out the door." he chuckled again. "Somethin' special happenin' tonight?"
"Yes, actually, very special." Alex paused for a second, wondering whether she should let Elliot in on the secret. "I'm going to ask Liv to marry me."
She could hear Elliot choke on his drink. "Wow, Alex…that's great."
"You think she will say no?" Alex panicked.
"Nooo, Alex, sorry, you just caught me off guard. Liv loves you, you love her, of course she'll say yes."
"I'm nervous." she told him taking a deep breath.
"I was too when I asked Kathy to marry me, but a little nervousness is ok." he smiled through the phone. "Alex, Liv's coming back, gotta go, good luck!"
"Thank you El."
Alex hung up and gripped the phone tight. There's no going back now, she thought to herself. Alex put her phone on the arm of the couch and retrieved her briefcase from the floor. She opened it and took the small box out. Alex took one last look at the ring. It was white gold with a single diamond and she knew it would look beautiful on Olivia's finger.
Olivia came back to her desk and found Elliot leaning back in his chair and grinning like a Cheshire cat.
"What?" she asked with a sceptical smirk.
"Nothin." he replied still grinning.
Olivia shook her head at him and then they both returned to their paperwork. Elliot started humming, "We're going to the chapel and we're gonna get married." Olivia looked up at her partner.
"El, you're freaking me out." she laughed. "You never hum and that song isn't exactly your style."
"And?." he asked.
Olivia was puzzled to say the least. "I think you've been working at SVU too long." she joked. He didn't answer he just smiled.
Later that evening Alex was cooking a romantic meal for Olivia coming home. Everything was just about ready, she just had to fix her hair and pick an outfit. After untying her hair and styling it to curl slightly around her face, she opened her wardrobe and raided her vast dress collection.
20mins later she had picked an LRD, otherwise known as a Little Red Dress. It was Gucci and she knew Olivia liked it because whenever she wore it the brunette had a hard time not ripping it off of her right away. Alex shivered at the thought of Olivia ravishing her right at that moment. She applied some lip gloss, mascara and eyeliner and before she knew it, Olivia was home.
"Baby, I'm home." Olivia called out as her senses were over come by the smell coming from the kitchen. "Wow, its smells amazing in here."
Alex appeared in the bedroom doorway, looking delectable. "I'm making you're favourite, Chicken Parmesan."
Olivia swallowed hard at the sight of the blonde. "You look incredible." she managed to say as Alex sauntered over and wrapped her arms around her.
"Thank you." she breathed. "Hey."
Olivia's arms snaked around the blonde's waist. "Hey yourself." Olivia leaned in and took Alex's lips in her own. Olivia pulled apart and looked her girlfriend up and down. "I suddenly feel underdressed." she chuckled. "Do you want me to go change?"
"No, you're prefect the way you are." Alex said against her brunette's lips. "Are you hungry?"
Olivia pulled Alex tighter to her body. "Hell yes." She said with more than a hint of desire in her voice.
"You are incorrigible." Alex laughed but was certainly turned on by Olivia's need to have her.
"Can you blame me?"
"Um…No." Alex winked and left Olivia's embrace. "Go take a seat at the table and I'll put dinner out."
Olivia shed her leather jacket and kicked her shoes off. "Hey honey, does this dinner have anything to do with Elliot practically kicking me out of the squad room earlier?"
Alex turned to see Olivia's standing against the island in the kitchen. "Maybe."
"Maybe? That's all I get?"
"Yes Liv, that's all you get. You will just have to patient."
Olivia pouted like a little girl who had a lolly pop taken from her.
"Don't give me that look." Alex laughed.
Olivia shrugged. "Worth a try."
"Alex, that was really delicious. Thank you, Sweetie." Olivia leaned over and pecked her girlfriend on the lips.
"You're welcome baby."
Alex gazed at Olivia and couldn't believe how happy she was, Olivia was the perfect girlfriend and she knew it was time to take the leap. Alex rubbed her temples which didn't go unnoticed by Olivia.
"Are you okay?" the brunette asked, placing her hand on Alex's.
"Yeah, just a headache, would you mind getting me some Aspirin?"
"Sure." Olivia smiled then went into the kitchen. When Olivia returned she found Alex in front of the table, down on one knee.
"Alex, what are you doing?"
"Liv, I love you, more than you know. My life is so much more wonderful because you're in it. You're the one I want to spend the rest of my life with, have a family with, you are my whole world." Alex paused, smiling up at Olivia. Alex's heart was pounding as she held the small box out in front of her and revealed the ring to Olivia. "So I'm asking you, Olivia Benson, will you marry me?"
Olivia and Alex's eyes were both now filled with tears, threatening to fall at any minute.
"Yes." Olivia breathed. She reached over and placed the glass and aspirin on the table, forgetting she still had hold of them then reached down and pulled Alex up and into her embrace. "Yes." she whispered in her ear.
Alex kissed her neck then pulled out of the embrace to look her detective in the eyes. Alex took the white gold ring from the box and tossed the box over her shoulder, earning a giggle from Olivia.
"May I?" the blonde asked holding the ring up. Olivia nodded holding out her ring finger. Alex gently slid the ring onto her finger. It fit perfectly. Alex then reached into her bra where she pulled out an identical ring. Olivia wriggled her eyebrows at where she'd been hiding the identical piece of jewellery.
"Where did you expect me to hide it? This dress didn't come with pockets." They both laughed.
Olivia focused her gaze back on the ring. "So we both have one?"
Alex nodded and gave her the other ring. "Would you like to do the honours?"
"Yeah." Olivia beamed as she slid the ring onto Alex's ring finger. Olivia admired their rings then crashed her lips onto Alex's.
"You said yes." Alex said against her lips.
"I did." Olivia replied huskily resting her forehead on the blonde's. "Baby, I love you so, so much."
"I love you too."
"I have one question though." Olivia breathed against her now, fiancée's lips. Alex motioned for her to continue. "About getting you out of this dress." Olivia smiled devilishly as she reached around to Alex's back and slowly brought the zipper down.
"Take it off." Alex instructed. "Now."
Olivia didn't need telling twice, it was around Alex's ankles before the blonde could say, 'hey, presto.' Olivia pushed Alex backwards towards the bedroom, kissing her all the way.
"Baby, one more thing," Olivia tilted her head to the right to allow Alex better access to her neck where she was kissing her excitedly.
"Mmm?" the blonde mumbled not slowing her kisses.
"Did El know you were going to propose?"
Alex's head snapped up with a dubious expression on her face. "I'm showering you with kisses and you're thinking about El? That's worrying." she teased.
Olivia laughed but continued anyway. "He hummed the We're going to the chapel song."
Alex smirked. "Yes, I told him, are you angry I did?"
"Of course not, just explains his crazy behaviour." Olivia concluded and then whipped Alex round. The blonde was pinned against the walled by Olivia's shapely body.
"Are we done talking about El?" Alex asked.
Olivia nodded.
"Can we get on with our sexy time now?" Alex asked wriggled her eyebrows.
Olivia giggled. "Sexy time, Alex? Really?"
The blonde shrugged. "Liv?"
"Yes, my darling fiancée?" her voice was low, seductive.
"Less talk, more kissing." Alex demanded and crashed her lips together with Olivia's. Olivia and Alex smirked and giggled into their kisses, both women just as desperate as the other to feel their naked bodies entangled together. When they reached their destination they collapsed onto the bed, removing items of clothing one by one.
Following a slow, passionate, love making session that lasted a little over 2 hours, Alex and Olivia were lying side by side, their damp bodies glistening in the moonlight. Olivia's head rested on Alex's shoulder while she idly traced circles on the milky white abdomen. Olivia's mind wandered to the time when her lover was kept away from her in the WPP. Her heart tightened just thinking about it.
"Alex, promise me you won't leave me ever again?"
"I promise, Liv. I'm not going anywhere. You and me, we're forever."
"Forever." Olivia repeated snuggling in closer, Alex tightened her arms around her in return and kissed the top of her head. "Love you."
"Love you too."
And you can tell everybody
This is your song
It maybe quite simple but
Now that its done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down it words
How wonderful life is
Now you're in the world…
THE END.
