Olivia POV
"I know my best friend's number by heart."
Damn right I do. And it's not my mom…although it really should be. And it's not some attorney…those people are just way too uptight; yet to meet one I could almost tolerate. And surprisingly, it's not Monique……but a fellow detective, yes.
Elliot Stabler. The name just rolls off of your tongue. I call him anytime I need to talk….anytime I need anything at all. Sometimes what I need is just for him to talk to me…..just being around him…..it's electric.
You know…when I first came here, I had him all pictured to be some overweight, aging guy…with a nasty drinking/smoking habit…and boy, was I wrong.
There's this guy…No, man. Great body….beautiful blue eyes you could get lost in….and the best smile. I mean, I know…married…but still. Never stopped anyone from looking before.
And the best part is…I don't think he knows that anyone looks. And I don't think he cares….nice guy. Not that I'm interested….he's got to much of that "I'm the man…I protect and care." I'm the independent kind….so, even if in some other life time; unless he changed or I would. We'd probably never even meet.
I hope we stay partners for a long time. I just feel comfortable around him….like that big brother that scares off every guy in the world or something. He's so easy to work with; talk to; and that is the scariest guy in the interrogation room…ever. Once again, the eyes. Cold as ice…and to be honest….I wouldn't be surprised if he's ever thrown someone right through a wall.
Hmm, wonder what his wife thinks when I call…especially in the middle of the night? I'm sure the thought that he's having an affair with me has crossed her mind….but, he wouldn't ever, I can tell. And I would never…..let alone with someone I work this close with…and plus, I don't wanna be the "other woman."
Wonder what his kids think? Don't they find it weird that their Dad is talking to some woman that he works with at all hours? And maybe…they don't notice at all. I do feel bad for them that I'm stealing some of his time from them. I hope they don't resent me someday for it. Just sometimes…..I don't know. It's hard to explain.
All I know is, Kathy's a beautiful woman and deserves him….I'm almost upset she has to share him with me…at least on some level. But…I'm glad he's in my life…at least something's stable in it for once….
Oh…stable…ironic isn't it. How things work out. Elliot…my partner…my stability…my shield….my friend.
