Olivia sat down on her couch in bliss after her long night. It was quiet in lonely two bedroom apartment, but all the better. It gave her time to re-think what went over tonight.
Flashback - 4hours.
Olivia was sitting at the bar after a really bad case. She couldn't get the poor little girl's face out of her head. As she ordered another whiskey, a very handsome, rugged man sat beside her ordering the same. They looked at each other and offered the polite smile, then knocked back a mouthful of drink.
"Rough night?" He asked Olivia. She turned and looked at him. He had that strong, muscular, tan body, brownish/black shaggy hair, and these beautiful, deep green eyes.
"Yeah. Going to be a hard for a little while. What about you?" Olivia asked, turning towards him.
"Just getting away from the world. Just finished my boot camp. Signed up for the military, because it's something I always wanted to do, and my parents disinherited me, my girlfriend left me with her boss, with whom she's been sleeping with for the past three months and is pregnant with his kid, and I lost my current job. Oh and by the way, I'm Daniel, and I'm extremely carefree, I ramble a lot, and I'd really like to get to know you." Daniel said, holding out his hand. Once he started talking, Olivia could hear this deep, sexy, country accent.
"I'm Olivia. And I'm sorry about, well, all of that. And ok, I'll give you a shot. I mean really, put two pretty carefree people together and this should get interesting." Olivia said.
They both made their way to a table, a round of beers starting.
"So, why is a beautiful lady like you doing all alone at a bar drinking away her sorrows?" Daniel asked. Olivia looked at her bottle, dreading this. Her job was about to be introduced, and it's always a freeze with date conversations, if that's what this really was.
"I'm trying to forget a hard case we had today." Olivia said, looking up at him.
"You're a cop? It's sexy that you can hold your own like that. What division?" Daniel asked leaning in.
Olivia sighed. It was going to be one of the over interested in sex crimes kind of guys. She knew he was too good to be true. "I work at the 1-6. Special Victims Unit, otherwise known as Sex Crimes." Olivia watched him. He sat back a little bit, took a swig of his beer and nodded his head a little bit.
"I respect that. I know it's probably a hard job to work, and you're out there getting the guys that degrade women, and screw up a kid's childhood. So obviously you're a strong willed woman who doesn't take crap from nobody. Amazing. You've got to be good to be true." Daniel said. He looked confused at Olivia's open mouth shocked expression. "What did I say?"
Olivia shook her head quickly to clear her racing thoughts. "You said everything right. Every time a guy asks about my job, they are either too interested, or it makes them run. You're neither!" Olivia shook her head again then smiled at Daniel.
"Well, I'm glad I'm not like other guys. I think other guys wouldn't have the balls to say that already I really like you Olivia. Maybe, if I'm not pushing things here, would you go on a date with me? Other than this small little talk we're having now." Daniel said, his green eyes looking hopeful.
Olivia thought for a minute, and then she smiled at him. She dug around in her purse until she found a pen. Without saying a word, she wrote her cell phone number on his hand, kissed his cheek when she got up and left, smiling the whole way home.
Present- 11:30 P.M
Olivia sat on her couch for about ten minutes before she realized that she has to work in the morning. After a quick shower, she laid down to sleep, but still could only think about Daniel. After laying in bed for what felt like hours, she finally fell asleep, dreaming about him.
Olivia walked into the squad room with an extra pep in her step. She was the only one at work so far, and she was fine with that. It gave her the chance to control herself before the guys got there.
Thirty minutes later Munch and Fin walked in, arguing about some conspiracy theory Munch was saying. They both stopped when they saw Olivia sitting at her desk daydreaming. They looked at each other; a mischievous smile appearing on their faces. Fin got on one side of Olivia's chair that she was leaning back in and Munch got on the other. They both grabbed the back of the chair and pulled in further back than how she was leaning and screamed at her to wake up. Olivia jumped up and screamed, turning around to Munch and Fin almost falling over laughing.
"Not funny guys!" Olivia said, walking over to them slapping them both across the head.
"I thought it was. So who were you dreaming about miss bad ass?" Fin said going and setting his gun in his locker.
"Nobody. I was just bored and started thinking. You would too if you were here 30 minutes early. I couldn't sleep with some kids screaming in the apartment next door so I came to work." Olivia said, smoothly lying. Munch watched her carefully, waiting for her to slip up, but Olivia was good and Munch accepted what she said.
"Well, Liv, you've got us to entertain you now. Elliot probably had troubles with getting out of the house since its Monday morning." Fin said, going and sitting at his desk, Munch pulling up his spot across the desks.
After almost another hour of no Elliot, and tons of random flying airplanes and paper balls hitting each other in the head, Elliot showed up, his lip bloodied, tie crooked, and a coffee stain on his shirt.
"Elliot! What the hell happened?" Olivia said, jumping up and grabbing a tissue to dab at his mouth.
"Some idiot at the coffee shot turned around the same time I did and he spilt his coffee on me. I lost my temper and started a fight. He was fresh out of boot camp so he was a little more polished on his skills than me. But we called it a truce, he has my card, and he's stopping by later so we can come to a mutual agreement on the coffee that we both wasted almost ten bucks on, plus the damages to the store."
Olivia looked at Elliot like she couldn't believe it. "You started a fight over coffee with a random guy, and now you're saying that you both were matched…You lost the fight you ego-tistical bastard." Olivia said smiling.
"Maybe." Elliot mumbled under his breath. "But he is coming buy around lunch time and we are splitting the damage cost."
Olivia shook her head as Elliot left to go change his shirt and sat at her desk answering her now ringing phone.

Lunchtime
Olivia was finishing her paperwork on her last case when she felt a paper ball hit the side of her face. At first she completely ignored it. But when two hit her at once after that she looked out of the corner of her eye to see Fin and Munch giggling and Elliot grinning. Olivia continued her work and finished, ignoring the paper balls. She had payback in mind. Finally the paper balls stopped and she could see Fin leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed. Olivia smirked. This was perfect.
Olivia got up, stamped the pages and put them in the folder, giving it to one of the girls as she went to put it in the archives. Very quietly Olivia walked behind Fin's chair and pushed down on the back of it, which, to his unlucky self, was already at its end. So instead of just giving the sensation of falling, Olivia ended up flipping Fin out of his chair and onto the floor at her feet. She saw this at a more perfect moment. Olivia put her foot on Fin's chest as he started freaking out about being dumped out.
"Olivia! Let me up! This isn't funny!" Fin yelled from the floor.
"Oh why should I? Isn't this what you tried to do today? And I find this funny, and so do Munch and Elliot." Olivia said, laughing while Fin basically pouted on the floor.
"Oh fine! I'm sorry for earlier! I'm sorry for trying to flip you out of your chair and for the paper balls while you were finishing your DD-5! Now can you please let me up?" He begged. Olivia smiled and removed her foot, offering Fin her hand. As they both straightened up, laughing, Olivia turned towards the door to see a man standing by her desk, his arms crossed, a huge smirk on his face. Olivia's face turned beet red.
"Daniel. Shit" Olivia whispered under her breath.
