Title-Give me a chance?

It had been a year since Kathy and Elliot had been divorced. Elliot had not dated since he got divorced in 1998. His kids kept on pushing him to start dating again, but he was not sure if he should. He had this one woman in mind, but he was not sure if she liked him that way.


It was late December of 2000; Elliot and Olivia were attending an annual Christmas ball. Elliot walked casually to Olivia extending his arm. "May I have this dance?" Olivia blushed at his formality but accepted with a small laugh. After casual conversation, Elliot got down to business. "Olivia what would you think if I started to date?

"I think it would be great, do you have someone in mind?" She smiled, excited for Elliot.

"There's a certain individual I've been eyeing." He smiled pulling her closer as they danced. He lowered his head taking in her scent, causing the hair on the back of her neck to stand on end.

Olivia felt her heart beating a little faster, her temperature rising a little higher. Her big brown eyes sparkled like diamonds in a beautiful gem cave. She smiled entertaining his game. "I don't know, what is this mysterious girl like?" his cologne invading her senses, she closed her eyes waiting for his response. The fan was blowing her hair in her face. Her hair was a chestnut brown that fell to the middle of her back it just flowed like a sandy river in the in the Congo forest.

Elliot's voice became softer, more deliberate. "Well…She has a great personality that absolutely makes my day better…She's stunning to look at. She has these gorgeous eyes that glow like a flowing river of gold, the smell of her hair is intoxicating, it makes me melt into a puddle of holy water," He smiled as he rested his cheek against hers.

"Elliot, she sounds great. Who is she?" She smiled searching his eyes for a clue. Elliot leaned in closer to her lips, his eyes darting to the perfect roundness of hers. Her big, brown, bedroom eyes just told him she wanted him in every way. Elliot blanketed her lips with his own hooking his hand around her neck to deepen the kiss. She just loved the feel of his soft lips on hers.

"You." He responded pulling away but staying within inches of her lips hoping she would return to him. She was in shock, she had had no idea he felt that way about her. She wanted him but she was scared he would reject her or pull away as the other guys did in the past.

Olivia swallowed hard trying to decide what had just happened. She took a deep breath and then stepped back lowering her head. "El…" She shook her head, her reality had just set in. "You don't want to date me, I am completely not girlfriend material," she said. He took his hand, placed it under her chin, lifted it up, and looked her in the eyes. "I love you Olivia." He expressed with great emotion.

Elliot lowered his hands accepting that the woman he wanted to claim as his own had just rejected him. "Olivia…when I first saw you…I lost all ability to reason, I fell in love with you Olivia." He whispered. His pain showed in his voice and face.

"You are my sun, stars, and my moon," he told her. "Could you give me a chance?" He asked, understanding Olivia's personal thoughts about herself. She was terrified of intimacy and kept even those she loved at a distance far from her fragile heart. Her boy friends either pulled away from what she did for a living, or never called again. Then the ones that stayed were way to interested in what she did.

Olivia raised her head looking into his eyes, her heart felt as if it would leap out of her chest. Olivia could not stop the tear that fell down her cheek as she gently nodded her head in agreement. Olivia knew she just put her heart on the line and she was trusting that Elliot would not hurt her.

Elliot smiled wiping the tear from her cheek. He brought her back to his mouth holding her waist. He kissed her warmly and was surprised when he felt her hands embrace him. One behind his neck the other holding his cheek. Elliot pulled away to look at her at her; she glanced up smiling before returning to his lips.

Sorry this one was kind of short next one longer.
