Olivia Unlocked the top lock and then the Bottom as she Turned the knob to enter her One bedroom Apartment. Elliot was right behind her in his White button up collar shirt and Black Dress pants. He
was Holding grocery bags he had Insisted in Helping her bring up, After He Practically begged to accompany her to the grocery store.
"close the door will ya?" she asked
he Nodded as he gently Closed And locked the door for Security with his right hand while he held the bags with the other. He finally let his guard down for the first time in weeks.
He hadn't quite told Olivia That Dean Porter was A suspect in one of there cases but of coarse That was the reason he was here. Olivia had caught on and she was Demanding answers
Cragen had Given him this case Personally For a reason, His Intentions were to try and keep it from Olivia for Safety Purposes.
"you look relieved.." She joked. She figured Elliot was all tensed up about dean being back in town. the last time he was here he hadn't left on a good note but Little did she know there was a Whole
case on him that had barely developed a week ago.
"Drop the Bags on the kitchen table if you don't mind"
he Smiled his very well known 'Elliot Stabler' Smile. the Kind of Smile that Can trick anybody into thinking that everything was okay. the one you cant help but smile back to. He Gently placed the
grocery's on the table as He began to roll up his sleeves and kept his eyes on her.
"so are you going to sit? or stand there all night? " she joked as she smiled back.
his eyebrows Rose up unwillingly as he smirked "all night?" He didn't notice the Big deal of his Question until he saw Olivia Slightly blush and turn away.
"El, you know what i mean..." Lately Elliot has Been letting out inappropriate jokes Like nothing. This Usually Only Happened when He was trying to avoid something or Lighten up the mood. She Knew
Exactly what he was trying to do, But she wasn't going to let it slide this time.
"just sit will ya?" he made his Way towards the same couch Liv was on and sat Closely next to her...maybe a little too close. She was Wearing a black Fit Wife beater and some gray Sweatpants.
usually something she wore for bed. her hair was tied up in a Messy bun with Loose strands of hair on the side of her face. Regardless of the no Makeup state her face was in She looked rather
Beautiful.
sitting close to him, of coarse wasnt wierd to Olivia. Elliot and her have always been good friends to the point where they werent shy about anything, told eachother Everything and spent hours after
work together. Elliot could feel the warmth of Olivia's arm rubbing against his. It felt nice.. they never usually had such close contact And he sure wasn't Bothered by it.
"Ok so explain to me whats been going on lately? i feel like your My second shadow or something... Always looking over me... Always there when i turn and yes Elliot i know we're Partners and all but
this is wierd! it's been Happening more then usual...and Im starting to think..."She shook her head as she tried making sense of it.
"That this is serious..plus this usually only happens when somebody has an Eye out for me or..."She stopped in her tracks as she realized that was exactly it! Elliot must be keeping a case from her. a
case that involves her. How didn't she realize this earlier? Her eyes opened wide in Shock
"God Elliot, tell me. If somebody out there is trying to hurt me i need to know!" she kept trying to make sense of this in her head. Who can Possibly Want to hurt her? hah good joke Who Doesn't want
to hurt her? Ever since she Entered SVU She Interogates Hundreds and Hundred of perps a year. Perps who commit the Most heinous crimes Possible. Most of them Cant take Authority and see Olivia
as a threat to there "man" hood And She knows they'd take a chance at her if they had it.
"i dont understand El, you've never kept anything from me... Were partners. Were suppose to work on cases together Not keep em from each other!"
She was on the verge of Exploding. she hated Being Babied and Elliot knew this! She refused to let this go on any longer. How could they keep a case from her? She Wiped the hair out of her face in a
harsh manner as she closed her eyes to try to keep calm.
"El Im your partner for petes sake..." She said in between her clenched teeth.
Elliot put his hands up in defeat "Liv...I get it..your My Partner, My Best friend and the Only person who's been there for me 12 years and counting" he huffed. He was referring to Kathy who last Month
Unexpectedly left him, kids and all.
"but there's somethings that are just best left unsaid..."
