ENTERTAINMENT
Just like a kid in a candy store, Olivia was all too excited when she entered Best Buy. Like all children, they have to have an adult with them in order to prevent the child from causing chaos....and Alex was that adult. The detective walked all the way towards the back of the store doing what she does best. Searching. Searching for the perfect entertainment center. Olivia has just bought a brand new 57" flat screen LCD for the upcoming world series game between the Yankees and the Red Sox. The important thing..Alex doesn't know.
"Liv! Wait up!" Alex had to move faster to keep up with her woman on a mission. Unit she finally caught her rooted to one spot. She followed her lover's gaze and nearly dropped her jaw. They were both staring at a 6 foot tall, black cherry wood entertainment center. "Parker House Bordeaux. Oh my God, I'm in love." Alex glared at her lover. "HEY! What the hell am I? Chopped liver?" Olivia wasn't even listening. She looked around for a sales clerk. "Wow! That thing will be able to hold my new tv." Oliva turned abruptly and went in search of an employee. Alex followed her lover. Olivia stopped when she saw a pimply looking white kid standing by the video games. He wore the stupid blue store shirt. "Hey kid!" Olivia yelled across the store. Alex covered her face. She was becoming embarrased with her girlfriend's rudeness. "Yes maam. What can I do for you?" The kid with the yellow name tag that said "Chad" on it asked.
"You can start by not calling me maam ever again. And two, I want that entertainment center over there." Olivia pointed to the black cherry wood object on the other side of the video games. "Sure thing ma...umm...miss" "It's detective, you feel better?" Olivia interrupted. "Yes detective. Did you want it in black? It also comes in brown. What size tv do you have?" As Olivia answered the kid's questions, Alex was getting impatient. She took out the pink stress ball she carried around for work and..."OW!!! What the fu...ooohhh, hey baby. You're still here?" Said the hurt cop as she placed a hand on the back of her head to rub out the pain. "Of course I'm still here. What are you doing? You said we were going to buy a couple dvds and go home." The poor sales clerk just stood there looking at both women. Unsure of what to do, he began to walk away until he felt the back of his shirt come off his back. Olivia grabbed him and said, "You go take care of what we talked about, and I'll be there in a minute." "Yes detective!" He ran back to the register.
"Oooollllivia!! Want to tell me what the hell is going on?" The brunette just stared at her obviously angry girlfriend with folded arms and those glasses...dear God those glasses. "Nothing pookie. I just wanted to make our apartment look even nicer." Olivia used her best charming smile and attempted to approach her beloved. "Bullshit! What's this crap about a new tv?" Alex backed up a few feet. "You have got 10 seconds to explain youself detective." Using the lawyer tone she saves for suspects. "If not, I'm going to go home and place your bedding on the couch." Olivia attempted to stand strong and compete in a glaring contest with the attorney. Didn't last long. "Baby, the big game is tomorrow. I invited the guys over. And it would be so much better to watch with a large flat screen, and a big entertainment center with surround sound. Please baby! Can i have it? I'll do anything...aahh shit." The poor detective muttered as she realized what her final words were. She knew she made a mistake when she saw the blues of her lover's eyes brighten and the smirk form on her face. "You win. You get your toys." Alex kissed Olivia's cheek and began to walk away until Olivia's voice stopped her. "Do I even get a hint?" Alex just looked over her shoulder and said "Let's just say it's going to be a long night." She saw Alex head towards the dvds. Maybe it'll be a good night after all. Olivia thought as she headed to the register to buy her prize.
Three hours later
"No! God Alex, I can't go through this anymore! I promise I won't buy anything without telling you first." Olivia begged. "Please no more."
"Geez, Liv it is not that serious. I'm having fun." Said the ADA as she got up from the couch and removed the dvd. "I thought Yentl was a lovely movie." Olivia got up and ran to the kitchen to grab a couple beers. She came back and sat on the couch while chugging the beer. "Come on Livvy. I am soo glad you got the tv and the entertainment center is so nice. Who knew a Barbara Streisand Marathon would be a great test for it." Olivia downed the first beer and proceeded to chug the second. "So, you ready for more Barbara?" Alex had an evil glint in her eye. Olivia looked at the glint and had to ask, "How many more?" Alex gave her beloved a kiss on the cheek. "Only one more." Olivia exhaled the breath she was holding. "Until tomorrow night. We can watch the other five I bought." Yup, Olivia thought. Definately a good night. NOT!
