Summary: Olivia's husband is abusing her emotionally but she doesn't realize it at all.

Which leaves one person in her life that is close enough to notice it, her neighbor and best friend. Olivia soon begins to have an affair with him and with his help she truly realizes what kind of man her husband is. Enjoy!

"Hello Detective, long time no see"

"Wes I see you every morning and every evening, you have been my neighbor for 10 years, do we have to say that every time we see each other?" Olivia asked smiling as she opened her mailbox and looked over at one of her neighbors and one of her best friends since she moved into her building. Wes was tall; had an athletic built body, green eyes, dark spiky brown hair and what Olivia described as the best sense of humor in the world.

She almost enjoyed seeing him after work just so he would make her laugh. Sometimes she enjoyed seeing him even more then her husband who she was married to for 2 years and knew him for four. Charlie was more of the serious type since he was a narcotics detective.

"Olivia why must you ruin my fun all the time?" Wes asked looking over at her as he got his mail out of his mailbox.

"Because you're Wesley my obnoxious friend" Olivia teased as she closed her mailbox.

"I'm a kindergarten teacher so I must be obnoxious, that doesn't mean you must offend me all the time" Wes said smiling "And don't call me Wesley, I want to sue my parents for giving me that name"

"Goodnight Wesley" Olivia teased as she went to the elevator.

Wes rolled his eyes and followed her "How's Charlie boy doing?"

"He's fine" Olivia answered as she got on the elevator.

Wes followed her in the elevator and gave her a huge grin, "When will you go out with me?"

"Never"

"Why?"

"Because I'm married." Olivia answered smiling.

"Prove it"

"You were at my wedding you idiot," Olivia teased rolling her eyes.

"Such foul words by the women I love, I must say thee is getting turned on"

Olivia started laughing, "I don't think those are quite Shakespeare words"

"They could be" Wes said smiling proudly as the elevator doors opened and they stepped off on their floor

"You're a loser"

"A loser you love with all that police heart in you" Wes said smirking as he took out his keys.

"I love you as my friend but I'll never go out with you Wes so don't ask every time we see each other" Olivia warned smirking as she went to her door and took her keys out from her purse. All the mail she had in her hands fell to the floor.

Wes rolled his eyes and bent down and picked it up for her "I hope you're not this clumsy with your gun cause I wouldn't want to be your partner"

"That's why you're a teacher," Olivia said smiling as he handed her the mail "Thanks"

"Can I get a hug for my nice deed?" Wes asked with a charming smile.

"No. Why do flirt with me all the time?" Olivia asked smirking as she leaned on her wall by her door.

Wes smiled and leaned on his wall across her "Because your Olivia my sexy friend"

"I knew you for ten years you don't need to flirt with me all the time"

"But I like flirting with you" Wes replied grinning "Plus I get Charlie mad so I love that part"

"Wes how many times did I tell you to stop pushing peoples buttons before you get beat up?" Olivia smirked

"I won't get beat up, thanks to my manly self" Wes answered smiling and on purpose lifted up his shirt to show off his muscular stomach. He had chiseled abs and a perfect light tan.

Olivia laughed rolling her eyes "You're a weirdo"

"What's going on here?" Charlie asked walking down the hall seeing Wes with his shirt up and Olivia laughing.

"Oh hi honey, I was just talking to Wes about getting beat up" Olivia answered smiling looking at her husband. Charlie was tall, had a built body and brown eyes with brownish hair.

"Charles do you have this much muscle?" Wes asked grinning still holding his shirt up. Olivia laughed and pulled Wes's shirt down.

"Goodnight Wes" Charlie said as he took the keys from Olivia's hands and unlocked the door.

"You don't want to invite your neighbor in? That's not very nice of you Charlie boy," Wes teased smirking. "I promise I wont hit on Liv"

"Go home now" Charlie said angrily as he opened the door to their apartment.

"Home sweet home" Wes teased and on purpose went into their apartment.

"Get out you moron" Olivia teased and pulled him out of her apartment.

"C'mon I want to hang out with you guys…" Wes started and looked over at Charlie "Well not you cause you're a Narc and you're serious but I want to hang out with my best friend" He said smirking pointing to Olivia.

"I'm not your best friend" Olivia teased smirking.

"We have been neighbors for ten years were ought to be friends one day" Wes teased grinning and winking at Olivia playfully.

Charlie came by the door and slammed it in Wes's face.

"Charlie leave him alone he is just joking around" Olivia snapped looking at her husband. Sometimes she liked it when he would get jealous over her but when it was one of her best friends it bothered her a lot.

"I don't like him flirting with you" Charlie yelled pointing to the door.

"He is one of my best friends, he flirts with me for fun, I knew him longer then I knew you so don't be a jerk to him" Olivia fired back just as angrily going to the door and opening it.

"You think I can sue your husband for police brutality cause that door was really close to my face and I could use the money," Wes teased still standing by the door.

"I'm sorry about that Wes, I'll see you tomorrow, goodnight" Olivia said with a small smile.

Wes just smiled "Goodnight"

Olivia closed the door and turned around to look at Charlie.

"What?"

"Why are you so mean to him?" Olivia asked just staring at her husband of two years.

"Because he is so damn obnoxious," Charlie answered rolling his eyes as he went to the living room and flopped down on the couch.

"He is not obnoxious he's just funny and he is sweet" Olivia said rolling her eyes as she went over to the couch and laid down next to him.

"Whatever" Charlie mumbled as he took the remote control and turned on the T.V.

"What's wrong?" She asked looking at him watch a football game.

"Nothing" Charlie answered keeping his eyes on the T.V.

"Is it a case?" Olivia asked stroking his hair.

Charlie jerked his head away from her "Don't baby me, leave me alone"

Olivia said nothing and moved her hand away from him "How was work?"

"It was fine" Charlie answered rolling his eyes.

Olivia just nodded "I think I'm going to go to bed, you want to come?"

"You need me to walk you there? Jeez your not a kid just go, I'm trying to watch something" Charlie said annoyed still watching the football game.

"Sorry" Olivia said quietly as she got off the couch and went to the kitchen "Honey you want me to make some food for you before I go to bed?"

"Do whatever you want"

"Ok, there are leftovers in the fridge in case you get hungry"

"Can you just let me watch this game? Go sleep already" Charlie snapped in annoyance.

"Sorry" Olivia walked past him and went into their bedroom. She knew their marriage wasn't getting any better but she couldn't leave him cause she loved him. She was a Special Victims detective and he was a Narcotics detective. He was distant from her lately and she couldn't figure out why. She went to bed and slowly drifted off to sleep.

After a while she felt Charlie come into bed next to her. She felt his arm embrace her from the back around her stomach. She smiled a little until he started to kiss her. She knew that when he did that in the middle of the night when she was sleeping he was in the mood for sex. She knew that their relationship was mostly all about sex lately.

"Charlie I'm tired" Olivia whispered as he moved on top of her.

"C'mon Olivia" He whispered as he kissed her neck and ran his hand under her shirt and cupped her breast.

"Charlie not tonight,"

"I thought you loved me," He whispered as he massaged her breast.

"I do love you"

"Then let me make love to you" He ran his hand down her pajamas and rubbed her over her panties.

"No, stop" Olivia whispered as tears filled her eyes since he was rubbing her roughly.

"You said you love me"

"I do but please stop" She whispered pulling his hand out from her pajamas.

"I guess you don't really love me after all good luck finding someone who will marry you," Charlie mumbled as he turned to the other side and didn't face her "Your lucky I married you"

Olivia's eyes just filled with tears. She needed him. She didn't have family. He was her only family. She couldn't ruin this.

She moved closer to him and wrapped her arm around his stomach "I love you"

"Sure you do"

Olivia said nothing and slowly moved on top of him and kissed him. Trying so hard to make their relationship be the way it was. Charlie kissed her and took off her shirt quickly. He pulled down her pajamas and panties all together.

Olivia wasn't new to this. He liked to have control during sex. She was willing to let him have it as long he would have her. He pulled down his boxers and pushed inside of her.

Olivia just lay there while he had his pleasure. She loved him too much and needed him so she had to let him have sex with her.

After awhile of Charlie's thrusting inside of her and panting he reached his orgasm. He got off of her and breathed hard. "That was good" He mumbled and turned to the other side and fell asleep.

Olivia took the blanket and wrapped it around her naked body and just lay there watching him sleep. A tear slowly ran down her cheek hoping he wouldn't leave her.

She woke up around 6 and Charlie was still sleeping. She put on some clothes and went to the front door knowing that their building always left a newspaper in front of all the tenants' doors around that time.

She opened the door and just like every morning Wes was by his door taking his newspaper.

"Morning neighbor" He said cheerfully like he always did as he looked through the newspaper.

"Morning" Olivia said with a small smile as she picked up their newspaper.

"Can I have your autograph?"

"What?"

"Go to Page four" Wes instructed.

Olivia turned to page four and smiled when she saw her picture there and a headline 'Special cop helps special victim'

"Sign so I can sell it on Ebay" Wes teased smirking.

"Shut up" Olivia mumbled smiling as she closed the newspaper.

"Congrats though"

"Thanks" Olivia said smiling "Hey Wes?"

"Yea?" He asked as he leaned on his wall.

"Have you ever wondered that you're in over your head and you have no way out?"

"I'm a kindergarten teacher I wonder that all time especially when my kids start throwing finger paint around and I feel trapped at my desk cause I don't want to get paint on my t-shirt"

Olivia just laughed "Your no help"

"Everyone feels like that liv, it just depends on how we solve it" Wes answered.

Olivia leaned on her wall "What do you mean?"

"Some people go to the gym to get away from it like me, some people throw rapists in jail like you"

Olivia just smiled "Thanks"

"Sure thing" Wes said smiling "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine, I was just wondering" Olivia answered nodding. She heard her cell phone ring inside the apartment. "That's probably work, I'll see you later"

"Be careful, bye"

"Thanks, and you be carefully with those dangerous kindergarten kids Wesley"

"Olivia" Wes whined. Olivia smiled and waved as she went into her apartment.

She got her cell phone as she put the newspaper on the table "Benson…I'll be right there"

She went to her room and started getting ready for work. Charlie started waking up. "Hi"

"Oh hi did I wake you up?" Olivia asked as she pulled on her jeans.

"Yea, its ok"

"Sorry" Olivia apologized. Charlie just nodded as he got out of bed and went to the kitchen.

Olivia got ready and came out of the room. Charlie was sitting at the kitchen table eating cereal.

"You know there is picture of me in the newspaper, page four" Olivia said smiling as she went to the refrigerator and got a bottle of water.

"I don't need a picture of you I see you all the time"

"Well just if you would like to know. I have to go before I'm late" She gave him a kiss and left the apartment. Charlie said nothing and kept eating his cereal not even bothering to look in the newspaper where his wife was.

Olivia walked to the elevator; she pushed the button and just rested her forehead on the wall as she waited for the elevator. Just thinking about Charlie "Its probably a case that's getting to him" She whispered to herself.

"I don't think it's a case," Someone behind her said. She got startled and turned around.

"Hey Wes"

"Hi, I haven't seen you for a long time anything new?" Wes teased as he leaned on the wall and waited for the elevator.

Olivia just smiled "Nothing new in the last half hour"

"Can I kiss you?" Wes teased as he playfully put his arm around her shoulder.

Olivia smiled and pushed his arm away "No"

"Would you go out with me?"

"No" Olivia answered smirking as the elevator doors opened and both of them stepped on. "You asked me so don't ask when I see you tonight after work"

"Only if I get a hug" Wes said smiling holding out his arms. Olivia rolled her eyes smiling and gave him a hug "Yummy"

Olivia laughed and pushed him away. Wes just laughed.

The doors to the elevator opened.

"Have a nice day and like always try to punch a rapist for me," Wes said smiling as they walked out of the building.

"I'll try, see you later" Olivia waved as she went to her car and he went to his.

She got to work around 7 in the morning. Elliot was already sitting at his desk and looking through evidence.

"Morning" He greeted when he saw her. Olivia just waved and sat down across from her partner. "You ok?"

"Fine"

"Everything ok with you and Charlie?"

"Everything is great" Olivia said with a small smile. Elliot just nodded and handed her a file of their latest case. She couldn't talk to anyone about how her marriage was going down the drain. Her marriage was a sure thing. She loved Charlie and she hoped that he loved her too even though he didn't know how to show it sometimes. Maybe sure things fall sometimes.
