David decides to take Olivia away from the city for a few weeks and surprise her with the time of her life. Is Olivia willing to let him love her or does the fear of a real relationship ruin everything?
"I don't know," Olivia complained to David. They were sitting in their bedroom on their bed still wearing their pajamas and drinking coffee.
"Come on," David pleaded, "It'll be fun. You need a vacation and you haven't been to Louisiana before."
Olivia sighed and took another sip of her steaming coffee, "Why Louisiana?"
"I told you," David said sitting his coffee mug on the nightstand next to his side of the bed, "I think Louisiana is a very beautiful place."
Olivia took in a deep breath and took a moment to really look at David. His eyes were pleading for her to agree on the two week trip but, Olivia just didn't know how she felt about it. Of course she wanted to go and get out of town for awhile, but she didn't know if she could escape from work and she didn't want the guys to be in her business.
"Please," he said pulling her out of her thoughts.
"Okay," she smiled.
"Really?"
She nodded and he threw his arms around her and gave her a gentle yet meaningful kiss on the lips. "Mmm."
"Think about doing this in Louisiana," he said pulling Olivia on top of him.
She giggled, "I have to go to work."
David let go of her arms and she kissed him one more time before getting up to put on her work clothes and get ready for the day.
"I can't wait to see you in a bikini," David chided as he watched Olivia refill her thermos with coffee from their newly bought coffee pot.
"In your dreams," Olivia said to him, "I don't do bikinis."
"Aw, come on! For me?"
"Maybe in the privacy of our bedroom with the lights off," she said with a very seriousness to her voice.
"Liv, your body is amazing. Anybody who could see you in a bikini would definitely be jealous."
"You're just saying that," she said as she sat her thermos down on the counter to clip her badge to her belt.
"I mean that," he said breaking out his serious tone.
"I have to get to work," she said picking her coffee back up an heading for the door.
"What, no kiss?"
She turned around and smiled at him, "I've kissed you three times already and we haven't even been awake for an hour. Have a nice day."
David was left standing in the living room of her apartment shaking his head. He didn't think he was ever going to figure Olivia out. She had been a mystery ever since they first met and he was curious to know more. He knew some little things about her, but the more important things they hadn't yet shared with each other. He knew nothing about her family and nothing about her background. In return though, she knew the same things about him. He hoped the trip he had already planned was enough to get her to open up because he wanted to know everything there was to know.
Olivia yawned as she shuffled into the business that was the squad room. She was just about to sit down in her chair when Captain Cragen called her into his office.
"What are you doing here?" he asked giving her an inquiring look.
"Uh, working?"
"You have two weeks off," Cragen stated, "I thought David told you."
Olivia just smiled and shook her head. Now she knew why David was begging her to go on this vacation, because she already had off.
"Did David set you up to this?"
"Maybe," Cragen answered, "But, he has a point. You haven't had a vacation in thirteen years."
"He wants to take me to Louisiana," Olivia said gesturing with her hands.
"So, go to Louisiana."
"Is this some kind of punishment?" Olivia asked sitting down in the chair, "Because if this is th-"
"This isn't a punishment Olivia," Cragen informed her, "This is a reward."
Olivia sighed, "Then I guess I'll see you in two weeks when I return."
"See ya," Cragen waved as Olivia walked out of his office and out of the precinct.
Walking back to her apartment she couldn't help the smile that seemed permanently etched on her face. She couldn't believe that David had requested she get two weeks off for a vacation. She was falling for David, fast. She liked going to bed with him and waking up to him cuddling her. It seemed to give her life a new meaning.
"David Haden!" Olivia yelled when she walked into her apartment. She sat her things down on the kitchen table and walked into the bathroom where she saw the light on form the crack under the door.
"David Haden," she said again as she stared at his naked form through the shower curtain.
"Yes?" he laughed as he peeked his head through out of the blue curtain. He had shampoo in his hair and Olivia thought he looked like Santa.
"You talked to my Captain? How did you know I would say yes?"
"Because," he answered simply, "You love me."
Olivia playfully rolled her eyes and crossed her arms in front of her chest, "Sometimes."
"All the time," he argued, "Face it. You're falling for me."
Olivia took in a deep breath and bit her bottom lip. She was falling for him and he knew it. He had her wrapped around his finger and Olivia didn't know if she liked that. She watched through the shower curtain as she saw the outline of his body move when he lathered up with soap.
"Want to join?" he asked.
"I already had a shower today," Olivia said turning toward the door.
Olivia heard the shower curtains pull back and she turned around to see David, in full flesh. She had to catch her breath.
"Two showers can't hurt."
She bit her bottom lip again, something she had gotten very used to and then smiled. She kicked her shoes off to the side and then undid her belt dropping it on the floor in front of her. "I guess you're right. Two showers never hurt anybody."
David reached out for her hand and pulled her into the tub with him. Chest to chest they stood there under the shower head letting the warm water pour down on them as they gazed into each other's eyes.
"You know, the mirrors are already fogged up."
Olivia laughed, "Your point?"
