HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!
Well, I went to the dentist yesterday and had the pleasure of getting my two wisdom teeth out, I held out ...I'm 26 turning 27. I got an idea while I was there and it goes a little something like this....

Summary: "There was something about a person who asks you a question and then shove's there hand down you throat that didn’t sit quite well with her...."
________________________________________________________________
Olivia sat in the sterile waiting room, trying desperately not to inhale the scent of bleach and Latex. She absolutely hated the Dentist; to put it plainly she's a Dentaphobic. There was something about a person who asks you a question and then shove's there hand down you throat that didn’t sit quite well with her, that and the whole pain concept validate her, what some refer to as an "irrational" fear . Her left foot tapped almost violently on the linoleum floor, she had been there for an hour already and she was just about to give and go home, promising to herself that she would call an reschedule her yearly cleaning, knowing very well it would mysteriously 'Slip' her mind but a voice stopped her from acting on these particular thoughts, " Excuse me, Miss Benson Dr. Eriksson will see you now."
Olivia followed the nurse into a small hallway and then into an even smaller room,
” Can’t make these things any smaller?” Olivia hadn't realized she had spoken out loud until the nurse responded with an “I know what you mean."
She sat down in the rather uncomfortable chair her hands shaking as she started to tare bits off the paper bib that she was sure felt rather tight against her throat, cursing under her breath. She probably would never go to the Dentist if it wasn't for the fact that she had to if she wanted to pass the yearly physical. Her patience was wearing thin, "Where the hell is this guy.", and again just as she was thinking of ways to sneak out unnoticed , either leave via the fireescape or just fake a call, a familiar voice stopped her.
“I came in here for quick whitening and your now JUST telling me that I need a root canal!" The feminine voice was tinged with anger and a bit of arrogance. “I have been here for two hours! You do know I have court in an hour , how in the HELL am I supposed to talk let alone give a half decent closing argument if I'm doped up on Novocain and God only knows what else!"
Olivia had to shake her head, she must be dreaming...or worse she was the one doped up on nitrous oxide ...It couldn't be her...could it? Olivia slapped herself for good measure and after establishing she wasn't dreaming nor under the influence of a pharmaceutical cocktail she craned her neck to try and see if she could get a glimpse of whoever had been talking, nope...nothing.
“Miss. Cabot, I know you are a very busy women, but." He was cut short”Oh, you don't even know."
"I understand that Alex but you have a dental emergency and it need's to be handled NOW." The doctor made sure to annunciate the last word very loudly.
” Well isn't this just great, now I'll have to ask for an extension!"
Olivia knew what the ADA's next move would be she didn’t even have to think ; she would throw her hands in the air in her usual exasperated way and then she would call Petrovsky.
After a few more blatant and annoyed remarks from Alex, it fell quiet
"Oh god what did they do to her?" Olivia couldn't help but worry for the blonde.
Olivia put her head back trying desperately to drown out the sounds of drilling, when a quick knock on the door and a "Good Morning Olivia." brought her back to reality.
Olivia nodded "Doctor, nice to see you again." even to her own ear's it sounded like a lie.
He pulled over the stool and sat down.
"How are you?” He asked just as he placed on his rubber gloves, causing Olivia to cringe slightly.
"Fine....Is that Alexandra Cabot in the other room by any chance?" he told her to open before her responded. "Why yes, you two know each other?"
Olivia tried to responded but found it next to impossible with his hand in her mouth , after a brief, yet all to through inspection he removed his hand.
She took a breath”Yes we do, I work with her, one of the detectives...."
This time the doctor was cut short from answering by a scream from down the hall. "Looks, like your friend isn't to happy detective."
"Who would be in here?" she muttered.
'You say something?" he turned around to look at her after he finished filling out something on his chart "Nothing."
"Very well then, your teeth are perfectly fine Olivia." Olivia let out a rather loud sigh of relief.
“By any chance would you be willing to give your friend a ride home? She really shouldn't be driving."
Olivia answered a little too quickly. "Sure!" , "great Liv..way to sound desperate."
"Great , you can follow me, she should be about done now..oh and just a warning ..she isn't in a very chipper mood."
Olivia bit back a snide remark as she followed him into Alex's room.
"Look who I found Mrs. Cabot!” Alex turned around rather groggily to find Olivia smiling sweetly at her.
" Libia" Alex drooled as she spoke.
" Alex, try not to talk." The doctor reminded her.
"Alex, I’m going to be taking you home, you shouldn't be driving, I will have Elliot come and get your car okay?"
Alex nodded.
"I lobe youz libia." Alex slurred, still drooling.
" Love you too...." Olivia paused before she whispered to the doctor, "How much of that stuff did you give.", "Hardly any..." he looked rather perplexed.
Olivia couldn't help but smile, even though Alex's face was swollen and she had a giant cotton ball in her mouth, Olivia still thought she was the sexiest women alive.
They walked out into the waiting room, Olivia holding onto Alex tightly, probably tighter and closer then necessary but neither woman complained.
" Miss. Cabot I want to see you back in a week okay?" ,"Sube thang Doc!" Alex saluted him as she stumbled to the door, dragging Olivia with her. "Oh and Olivia I'll see you in six months, unless you think you need to be seen sooner."
"Now that you mention it Doctor, my back molar kinda hurts."
" I'll have my secretary call you then Detective, when is best for you?"
"Uh..I woud say in about a week."
"Very well, take good care , both of you." He smiled and watched them exit.
After Olivia had helped the Lawyer into her car and started the engine, she paused for a moment
"Don't you just love the Dentist Alex?"
Well, I went to the dentist yesterday and had the pleasure of getting my two wisdom teeth out, I held out ...I'm 26 turning 27. I got an idea while I was there and it goes a little something like this....
