It had been another long case for Detectives Olivia Benson and Nick Amaro of the Manhattan Special Victims Unit. A 15 year old girl, Lacey, was found raped and sodomized behind her high school. Her rapist also gave her gonorrhea and beat her like it was the perp's own punching bag. Detectives Benson and Amaro spent 72 hours looking for the perp until they got the lead that would bring the girl justice. It was Lacey's best friend, Samantha. Lacey had found out that Samantha was an in the closet lesbian and was about to out her to the entire school. Samantha wouldn't let that happen, so she did those things she did to Lacey to keep her mouth shut. Samantha was found guilty of rape in the first degree, sodomy in the first degree, and assault in the first degree; she was sentenced to a total of thirty years in prison at Sing Sing. Just a typical day in the bleak world of sex crimes.

Nick and Olivia had just returned to the squad room from sentencing when Olivia's phone began to go off. She looked at the caller ID.
"I have to take this call, Nick." she said while looking at her phone with a small grin. Nick looked at her, and smirked to himself. He nodded, and Olivia walked out.
"Hey, El." she said, letting those two infamous words slip out in a somewhat seductive tone.
"Hey, Liv. I really wanted to ask you this in person, but I just can't wait any longer. Listen, I know while I was at SVU, this never could've happened..."
"What couldn't have happened, El? What are you-"
Elliot broke in halfway through her speaking.
"I wanted to know if you'd like to go out on a date with me? Not as friends or partners, Liv. Like...like a real date."
Olivia's mouth dropped what almost seemed to the was nervous as hell. She could feel it in his voice. It was so romantic, and she had waited almost 14 years for him to ask that simple question. Ever since Elliot had divorced Kathy, she wanted to make a move. But she didn't want to rush Elliot into another relationship.
"Liv?" She returned back to earth.
"El? I'd love to go on a real date with you." Olivia said, smiling.
Elliot smiled on the other side of the phone. He could sense her smiling.
"Great! How about tonight, say eight o'clock? We can get dinner and then go see Skyfall. I know you've been dying to see it."
"That sounds perfect. I'll see you then."
"Okay, bye."
"Bye, El. See you at eight."

Olivia hung up, and nearly did a back flip. She walked back into the squard room, her smile almost illuminating the room. Fin, Munch, Nick, Amanda, and Captain Cragen did a double take on her. Cragen suddenly picked up on the phone call and what could've possibly made her this happy.
"Uh Liv, can I speak to you in my office please?" he asked.
"Of course, Cap."
Liv walked into Cragen's office with him, and shut the door behind her.
"El finally asked you out on a date, didn't he?"
She was stunned that he had picked up on it.
"How'd you know, Cap?"
"Elliot's been calling me almost every day for the past two weeks. trying to find a way to ask you out on a date."
She laughed lightly, and smirked.
"So when's the big first date?"
"Tonight at 8."
"Well I'll let you go then. You and Amaro closed up the Anderson case, so there's nothing really left here to finish. You can submit your DD5s Monday. Now go, this gives you two hours to prepare" Cragen said, smirking.
"Thanks Cap. See you Monday."
"See you Liv."
Liv grabbed her jacket, walked out of the squad room, and walked the two blocks home. She was going to make sure tonight would be her best night with Elliot Stabler.

Chapter 2 will be up soon! Love you guys!
