"My Home" Chapter 19/?
Sorry for the lack of posting. I have been out of the state, and isolated from the internet. Skiing! Now every muscle in my body is aching-not a hyperbole. Read Enjoy and Review!

There was an awkward moment between the two blonds. Neither of them had seen each other in a few years, but they had been close. Serena was swathed in a deep red satin robe and obvious bed hair.
“Are you coming back to bed dear?” Alex silently corrected herself; Serena had just-been-fucked hair. Alex suddenly felt embarrassed. She hadn’t meant to interrupt her old friend’s afternoon delight.
“Oh Serena I’m sorry, I’ll just be going.” Serena saw the distressed look on her friend’s face and quickly squashed all explanations,
“No come on in…” When Alex hesitated she took out her strict lawyer tone,
“I insist.”
Alex slowly walked in and watched Ser saunter back in the direction she assumed led to the bedroom. She could faintly hear Serena whispering to some other woman,
“I’m sorry sweetie but my friend really needs me.” She didn’t catch the whispered response, but it was hard to miss Serena talking,
“No old friend not lover. Yes she is blond.” More whispering.
“Please? I’ll make it up to you.” Muttering…it seemed a deal was being made. Alex wondered if Serena’s girl was a lawyer when she heard the next line.
“The cuffs? Those are mine.” She could hear Serena’s whine, “Fine.” A few seconds later a blond woman walked out in a clearly thrown on outfit. She kissed Serena on the cheek before turning around. Alex gasped.
Her shocked expression turned into a smirk. This was definitely interesting. A lawyer indeed. Serena wiles had snared none other than Casey Novak. Now it was Casey’s turn to be surprised. Apparently she didn’t know that she was the blond to which Serena was referring.
Serena watched the whole thing, her eyes alight with amusement. “You two know each other?” Silence reigned for a moment as Alex found that there were far too many blonds in one room,
“Yes. We work SVU together.” Well technically they hadn’t worked together yet, but Alex was looking forward to it now. Casey was beet red.
“Well I am going to go shopping; I’ll be back in a few hours.” Serena nodded her Cheshire cat grin a bit annoying to both of the other women. As Casey was walking out Serena called out to her,
“Remember what we talked about.” Casey didn’t stop or turn around she just responded over her shoulder,
“No purple or green suits. Got it!” With a slam the two old friends were left alone and Alex was reminded of what had transpired. In order to prolong the confession she knew was coming she decided to snoop a little.
“So you and Novak? How long?” Ser smiled dreamily as she collapsed in the chair opposite of Alex,
“8 months….but hey you are the one turning up on my doorstep looking like hell with a secret.” Alex paused and began to wring her hands nervously,
“Well…I made a mistake…okay I’ve made a lot of mistakes. God everything is so screwed up.” Serena cut in,
“You didn’t sleep with McCoy did you?” Alex shook her head confused,
“Sorry. Gay or not, you’re an ADA and I had to ask.” Alex nodded and let out a deep breath, the last one before the plunge.
“You know I am with Liv.” Serena nodded impatiently,
“Yep. You were with her…you were shot…dead…then not dead…gone again…and now apparently back. Which by the way, you are explaining later….continue.”
Alex ignored the outburst. She was quite used to it with Serena,
“Well Elliot was shot…” Serena knew to keep quiet but she did become considerably paler at this news,
“So Olivia was out of sorts. We went to the hospital and Liv saw Beck in the waiting room…covered in Elliot’s blood.”
“Beck?”
“Liv’s replacement as Elliot’s partner.”
“Ouch.” Alex nodded distractedly; Serena, god bless her soul, was absorbing all this knowledge with a lawyer’s fervor.
“So they get into it and I try and intervene.” Serena’s grimaces at the picture and nodded sympathetically,
“Hindsight’s a bitch.” Alex decided to dwell in the simplicity of the statement later and plow on,
“Right so as you have already deduced Liv tore into me. I was already on edge because we were in the hospital where I had been taken and pronounced ‘dead’, and she starts blaming me. Saying if I hadn’t been such a burden she would have been there for him.” Another grimace.
“And I come back asking if Elliot would even want her guarding his back.” Serena jumped to her feet,
“Pause…some liquid comfort is unquestionably required for this narrative. Rum and tonic with lime?” Alex agreed although her body was asking what the hell she was thinking.
Once they were situated again, now with something to ease them through, Alex continued. She explained how she had accepted a ride from Beck, after she had previously put moves on her. How they had ended up at Beck’s apartment. How she had wanted to hurt Liv as much as she had hurt her. She even described the peculiar look on Beck’s face as she took off. Once she was finished, her drink was nothing but a few melting cubes.
Serena sunk back into her chair and silently observed Alex’s dejected face and slumped shoulders. A broken woman. She silently wondered how many times she could be put back together before the pieces failed to fit.
“Alexandra.” Her face was serious but warm; a small comfort to Alex.
“The heated words in the hospital are not an issue. Those were served blow to blow and can be easily rectified with some effort. The issue isn’t whether you want to be together. Liv is head over heels for you, always has been. Your current attitude and the fact that you resisted temptation even when you were at your most vulnerable speak volumes of your feelings for Olivia.”
Alex interrupted, “But I kissed her!” Serena glared at Alex in a way that reminded her eerily of Petrovsky. Dutifully she shut up and allowed Ser to continue,
“A kiss? Come on that his hardly yielding to temptation. Hell Lex we’ve kissed. Doesn’t mean we were about to jump into the sack with each other. No offence; I’m sure you’re a great lay.” Alex reddened not only at her old despised nickname, that only Ser and her father could get away with, but at the bluntness which never ceased to amaze her.
“The real issue is the Beck fiasco and its consequences. I am not going to coddle you; it will take a lot of time and finesse. But you two lovebirds are made for each other.”
“But…” Serena held up a hand to squash all protests,
“You are exhausted and have had far too much alcohol.” Alex scoffed and Ser smiled acceptingly,
“Much of which is my fault, and thus you are going to retire to our guest room.” Alex paused at the obvious implication of “our”,
“Are you sure Casey won’t mind?” Serena laughed and shook her head,
“I think she would rather you sleep it off here than show up at the precinct hung over.” Alex nodded, seeing the logic. She couldn’t resist teasing her Ser for getting to her earlier,
“And if she has any objections she does have the cuffs right?” Serena winked,
“Yeah she snatched them off of Benson.” Alex’s eyes widened before she was Ser burst out laughing,
“Sorry Lex but you will have to try harder than that to make me lose composure.”
Thanks to the wonders of alcohol, Alex was soon immersed in dreamless sleep. But not before wondering about the circus tomorrow would bring at the precinct.
