Disclaimer: I don't own SVU, or the Joe Diffie song, So Help Me Girl. But it is a good song...
Elliot Stabler opened his eyes and looked around the room. Something warm was pressed into his side, and his heart melted when he remembered who it was. He wrapped an arm around her, pulling her closer against his chest. Olivia mumbled and buried her face in his chest, snoring lightly. He laughed softly and closed his eyes, remembering the previous night's events.
It was midnight, and Elliot was sitting on the couch in his apartment, a bottle of beer in his hand. The memories of the day's events replayed over and over in his mind, and he was helpless to stop them. Standing up to retire to his lonely bed, he heard a knock at his door, and he thought, Who the hell comes knocking on my door at midnight? With a growl, Elliot stalked across the carpeted floor and flung the door open. "Olivia?" he asked almost disbelievingly. She didn't say a word. He ushered her in, locking the door behind her. But when he turned to face her, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips against his. At first he was stunned, but then he wrapped his arms around her waist, clasping her possessively against his chest. "I love you, Olivia," he whispered against her lips.
That had happened last night, and he was still grinning like an idiot.
You could've kissed me like this wasn't gonna last
Kept me from saying something I'll never take back
You could've held me like there was no chance
Of me waking up where I am
You could've stopped short of
Every dream I've ever had
"God, Olivia, you've done it now," he whispered, kissing her hair. He felt himself drifting back off to sleep, and as his eyes closed, he thought, You just had to make me fall in love with you.
So help me girl, you've gone too far
It's way too late to save my heart
The way it feels each time we touch
I know I've never felt so loved
And I can't help myself
So help me girl
When he woke up, Elliot carefully detangled himself from Olivia, then climbed out of the bed. Standing in front of the window, he watched as the first rays of sunlight streaked across the sky.
As he watched, entranced, Olivia walked up behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist.
"Hi, you," she said softly, kissing the back of his neck.
He turned around and pressed his lips to hers, running his fingers gently through her hair.
"Wow," she breathed when he pulled away and rested his forehead against hers.
"Last night was incredible," Olivia said softly, pulling him into her arms.
"Yeah, it was," Elliot agreed, kissing the top of her head.
You had to be there when that old sun came up
Making last night feel like a vision of things yet to come
You just had to hold me like nobody else
Now look what you've gone and done
You had to love me
Til I just can't get enough
"You know, I'm in trouble," Elliot said, giving her a gentle squeeze.
"Why?"
"Cause you stole my heart, and I can't save myself. But I don't think I want to now," he said, capturing her lips with his again.
So help me girl, you've gone too far
It's way too late to save my heart
The way it feels each time we touch
I know I've never been so loved
And I can't help myself
So help me girl
When they broke apart for air, Olivia looked up at him with a mischevious grin.
"So, prove it, Stabler," she challenged, sitting on the bed. He grinned as he pinned her beneath him, kissing her with all the passion he had in him.
So help me girl, you've gone too far
It's way too late to save my heart
The way it feels each time we touch
I know I've never been so loved
And I can't help myself
So help me girl
Several hours later, Elliot lay on his side, his arms wrapped around Olivia, their bodies touching from head to toe.
Elliot kissed her neck, then said, "What made you do it?"
"Do what, El?"
"Come here. Say all those things."
He couldn't see her face, but he felt her smile.
"I don't know. I guess the timing just felt right," she said, shrugging her shoulders.
"What do you mean?" he prodded.
She rolled over in his arms to face him and said, "I've always loved you. There just was never a good time to tell you."
He kissed her gently, and she moved closer against him, burying her face in his broad chest.
Elliot tightened his arms around her, thinking, I'm the luckiest man alive. I've got Olivia Benson in my arms.
Olivia kissed his chest and closed her eyes, thinking, What on earth did I do so right to deserve Elliot Stabler?
A little while later, Elliot looked down at his partner and, when he realized that she had fallen back asleep, he kissed the top of her head and grinned.
"Love you, Liv," he whispered, smiling when she stirred in her sleep and snuggled closer against him, sighing contently. And as he closed his eyes, an old familiar love song played in his head.
And I can't help myself
So help me girl
