Elevator and Beyond

Summary: This story starts with the end scene of Choreographed. It goes from a conversation between Elliot and Olivia that gets deep to each of their homes. So EO I mean really!

"We have been partners for seven years and I don't even know your blood type," Olivia said questioningly.

"A positive," Elliot said with a smile.

"Really, me too!" Olivia laughed as they walked into the elevator.

"I'd give you my kidney," Elliot said smiling.

"Not if I'd give you mine first," she said looking at him with a smile and a wink.

The door closed and they smiled at each other.

"So did you miss me?" Elliot said laughing and smiling at Olivia.

"You have no idea," she said laughing and giving him a friendly smile back. "You miss me?" She punched him on the shoulder playfully.

"Oh yeah! I was lost without you," he said pouting his lower lip.

"Sure and Dani was just a person who was my part time replacement." She lowered her eyes at him.

"Ok, fine! I kissed her but that was it!" He admitted taking a big gulp, which created a large lump in his throat.

"It is ok El. It isn't like we were dating or anything," she said rolling her eyes and gulping herself. She thought about what she had just said knowing that she wanted it to be true but didn't know how to tell him her true feelings.

He looked up at her with sad eyes. "I did miss you a lot Liv," he said putting a hand gently on her cheek.

"I missed you too El," she smiled as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Don't cry beautiful," he said smiling as he wiped her cheek. "So what did you do while you were away?" He looked into her eyes and tried to change the subject.

"Well I was part of a group in Oregon that was after some eco-terrorists. We rallied and we hunted down the leaders of big time companies."

"What happened at these rallies?"

"Well…I…um…" she was thinking about the last one she went to. She had no idea what to say. "Well we picket in front of the company buildings…um…"

"What?" He said laughing at her nervous look.

"At the last one the police came and broke it up. The one police officer came up to my friend and started beating him with a police baton. I went over to him and put up my arm to defend him and he hit me across the head." She looked at him to see if he was still with her. He seemed to be in deep concentrating thought.

"He hit you across the head with a baton? Are you ok? What happened afterwards?" He nervously grabbed her around the shoulders.

"Yeah I'm fine. I mean I woke up in the prison ward of the local hospital after a while and if you can believe it they charged me with brutalizing a police officer."

"Wow!" Elliot looked at her questioningly.

"The next morning I woke up and one of my other friends was in the bed next to me laughing," she said beginning to blush.

"Why was she laughing at you?" He smiled at her and chuckled.

"Well…I…um"

"Come on Liv. Don't start that again. You can tell me," he said flashing her a cheesy grin.

"I apparently was saying you name repeatedly all night. When I woke up and looked at her she asked who Elliot was and I had to deny that I knew whom I was talking about. It was stupid," she looked down at the floor and shuffled her feet.

"That isn't stupid," he raised her chin to look into her eyes. He put both of his hands on her cheeks and pulled her into a kiss.

She didn't object. She put her hand around his neck and one hand on his cheek to deepen the already passionate kiss. She never wanted it to end but alas the elevator opened. He pulled away and looked up to see Melinda standing in the doorway of the elevator. She looked at the two of them bug eyed.

"I didn't see anything," she said shaking her head and smiling.

"We…um…I…" He said nervously looking at Olivia.

"Now you are starting to sound like me," she looked down at him and smiled. "We were discussing what I did while I was working for the FBI and…" she tried to explain.

"I don't want to know. All I know is that it was a long time coming seeing you two. I think that John would definitely agree with me when I say finally!" She laughed at them.

They laughed along with her as they got to the garage floor. They all smiled at each other as they stepped off of the elevator.

"See you two tomorrow." Melinda smiled at them as she went to the left and they went off hand-in-hand to the right.

They got to Elliot's car and Elliot stopped. He pulled her around and held her close. He kissed her sweetly. "I love you Olivia," he said smiling.

"I love you too Elliot," she smiled at him and pulled him into another kiss.

She pulled away and he went over to the car and opened the door for her. She got in and he slammed the door. He hood slid over to the driver side and got into the car.

"Where to? Your place or mine?" Elliot looked over at Olivia as he turned the car on.

"Mine's closer," she smiled and leaned over and kissed him again.
