Pairing-A/C
This was originally a one shot but it turned into a multi chapter story. Mildly popular on FanFic.net so I thought I would share it with you guys.
Elevator Love.
Alex stepped into the elevator to find Casey Novak leaning against the wall. “Oh fuck.” She thought, “An elevator ride with the devil.”
“Hey” Casey stammered nervously.
“Hi.” was Alex's cold reply.
Casey couldn't figure out what was Alex's problem. Was it the fact she took over her job? Someone had to replace Alex sometime. Casey didn't really want to, especially as Alex's ex. Hormones and alcohol in law school make for very bad decisions and very bad break ups.
“What floor?” Casey asked.
“21st”
Casey inhaled. She knew she had to apologise. “Look Alex. I'm sorry.”
“What the hell do you have to be sorry for?”
“Well when you died...........”
“Stop referring to it as that.”
“Well after you left I got assigned to your job, made friends with your friends and went out with your ex, although I am also your ex. That's a hell of a lot to be sorry about.”
“Yeah well guess what? I'm over it and I'm over you. You don't need to apologise because I don't give two bloody shits about you, or your and Olivia's past relationship.”
Casey paused, scared of the hurt in her voice. “You obviously do. Otherwise you and I would be chatting quite easily about the weather and Dan Brown's new thriller.”
“That's one for Munch.” Alex quipped bitterly under her breath.
“Yeah it certainly is...............”
Alex breathed deeply and began, “Look Casey. Yes I am not over it, and yes I wish we could be chatting happily right now but we can't.”
“Why?” Casey deflected.
Alex struggled with the next sentence. “I'm still not over you.”
Casey flinched from the sting in her voice.
The door suddenly dinged and opened for Alex to exit the elevator.
“Goodbye.” Casey called.
As the doors closed again Casey smiled slowly to herself. At this rate she might be seeing Alex Cabot more often.
