Law and Order: Special Victims Unit
Author's Note: I wrote this like an hour after I posted the first chapter. I hope you guys like it! I did better with characterization in this chapter. I think I'm going to make it into three chapters or more...depends on the reviews.
Law and Order: Special Victims Unit
False Pretenses
Chapter 2
His
Elliot sat outside of Olivia's door, debating on whether or not he should use his key because she wouldn't answer. He had a good feeling she was in there, he had even thought to check her usual parking space, and her car was there. He had called her home phone three times, left a desperate message on her answering machine, and then tried her cell phone.
He had text, called, and left two voicemails on the way over. He needed badly to check on her. So he put the key in the lock and turned.
The door was quiet as he opened it barely two inches.
"Liv…I'm coming in." He said as he opened it a little more and poked his head inside. The living room was dark and empty but the bedroom door had a flash of light coming from beneath it.
He walked into the apartment and shut the door behind him and walked over to her door. With a sigh he knocked on the door and waited for a response.
"Olivia….if you don't come out, I'm coming in." He stated.

Meanwhile, inside the bathroom Olivia had her face barely above the line of water. Her ears were still immerged in the water, so she figured the bangs on the doors was actually her neighbors having sex. Until she heard a voice that sounded frighteningly close, that sounded like her name.
She pulled herself up out of the water a little bit more so she could hear. She was propped up on her elbows, with her head back listening.
"If you don't come out, I'm coming in."
It was Elliot. She knew he was in her apartment trying to make up for the mess he had made, but couldn't help.
He was far enough away that she wasn't covering herself yet, but then she heard him come into her room and pause by the bathroom door.
"Elliot don't come in here." She stated, alarmed and ashamed.
"Olivia…are you okay?"
"I guess," she stated putting on her tough girl façade and trying to sound like everything was fine and he was being weird.
"I need to see that you're okay. Come out here and talk to me." Elliot stated.
"You're really….the last person I want to talk to right now." Olivia said being sort of truthful. She wanted to talk to him but in the same moment she didn't want to.
"Olivia. I love you." Elliot finally said the words she had been anticipating.
"You don't have to say it, I'm going to be okay." Olivia stated.
"I mean it." Elliot replied, "I couldn't say it on the phone because I was standing in front of Kathy…and she was angry. I didn't want her to think that we were having an affair. I should have just said it…but she knew it was you."
Olivia didn't know what to think of the whole situation. All she knew was that she was sitting in the tub naked…and Elliot was determined to see if she was 'okay'. She wanted more than anything to be stubborn but she was too happy at the fact that he actually loved her to sit in the tub all night long.
She got out…did a rough dry job, then draped the yellow towel around her still moist skin and opened the door to the bathroom.
Elliot walked right in and pulled Olivia into a hard passionate kiss. He wrapped his arms around her and smiled which broke their kiss.
He was completely and utterly content with the fact that the woman he loved for seven years, but hadn't had the courage to say so, was strong enough to tell him herself.
He knew from that moment on that she was his, and was to be only his forever.
So we can apparently stop it there...but I think I can continue it. Tell me if you guys want it to continue. : )
