Olivia sat at her desk, across from a fuming Elliot. He was in a really bad mood since he got into a huge fight with Kathy this morning. He even threatened to divorce her.
Olivia was used to his mood because he and Kathy have been fighting a lot lately. Although, she was used to it, she was getting really sick of it. He would come into work and take his anger out on her. Most of the time she would let it slide but, she was in a bad mood today also.
She was dating a doctor, Mark London, for about two months. Three days ago he accused her of being in love with her partner. They got into a fight and haven't spoken since.
Elliot hated Mark because in all honesty, Elliot never loved someone as much as he loves his partner. Olivia was perfect, in Elliot's eyes. He loved everything about her and she meant the world to him. He knew that he was pushing her away and being distant with her but he couldn't help it. He didn't want Olivia to know why he and Kathy always fight. Kathy also accused Elliot of being in love with his partner. But he didn't fight her on it. He admitted it was true. He went on and on about how much he loves Olivia. This time, Kathy threatened him with a divorce.
Olivia got up from her desk and walked by the coffee table. Elliot got up after her.
"You okay?" Elliot asked.
"Yeah. You?" She asked as she poured herself a cup of coffee.
He nodded and smiled. "You want to go out for dinner tonight? My treat?"
"I can't. Mark wants to take me out for dinner." She frowned.
His face just dropped. "Oh okay."
"I'm sorry," she added.
"No don't worry about it. I mean he is your boyfriend after all."
She nodded. "Right."
They both walked to their desk to finish their paperwork for the day.
Olivia went home an hour later. It was 7 pm when she got home so she called Mark to see if they were still on for dinner. She took a quick shower and started getting dressed.
20 minutes later…
Olivia finished putting her make up on and stood to look in the mirror. She was wearing a plain black dress that showed off her curves. She was putting on perfume when she heard a knock on the door.
She opened it and saw Mark standing there with her favorite roses.
"Aw thanks." She kissed him and took the roses. "Come in. Let me just put this in a vase," she said then went in the kitchen and came back with a vase filled halfway with water. She put the flowers in then set the vase on the coffee table.
"I missed you," he said as he hugged her and kissed her forehead.
"Really? The other night you couldn't stand me," she teased.
He smiled. "I'm sorry okay? I was just mad that you missed our dates two nights in a row."
"Babe I told you about the hours I work and you said that you understand."
"I do. I do, it's just that I lost two patients and I was really upset. I just wanted you to be there," he explained.
"Babe I didn't know. I'm sorry. I should've been there for you," she sighed.
"Hey, don't apologize. It's not your fault, okay?" He said then lifted her chin up so she was looking at him.
She nodded and kissed him.
"You ready to go?" He asked, softly.
"Yeah, let's go," she said.
He took her hand and led her to his car to go to her favorite restaurant.
