So here is chapter 2! italics are a memory. So chapter one is Olivia telling Elliot about Grant and how she met up with him, this chapter is that meeting and the events that lead up to chapter one. So Chapter 2 is before Chapter 1 technically. lol Enjoy

Olivia ran her hands through her hair. She was nervous and shocked, surprised and somewhat aroused.

"Hello?" Olivia answered while sorting DD5's in the file room.

"Hi, um, Via? Its me." The voice said softly, obviously nervous.

Olivia swallowed deeply. "How are you?"

"Um. I'm good. I, ah, I'm in New York." He paused. "I wanna see you."

"Where?" She asked closing her eyes and clutching the phone tighter.

"The usual, tomorrow at eight?" Olivia nodded. "I'll be there."

So here she was, sitting in their corner booth, at their bar, sipping on her long island ice tea. She glanced at her watch, 8:03. She felt like an idiot. He didn't show. She sighed grabbing her purse and standing exiting the booth only to run in a tall man. "Sorry." She mumbled. "Olivia?" The man asked. Olivia looked up, coming eye to eye with a pair of green eyes.

"Leaving already?" He laughed, sitting down.

She laughed scooting in next to him. "I thought you weren't going to show."

He gave a small smirk, "A man would have to be crazy to stand you up."

Olivia blushed and took a drink of her beverage. He took it from her drinking some as well. "That was mine." She teased.

"You'll get over it." He smiled wrapping an arm around her shoulders.

She decided to get to it. "What are you doing in New York?"

"I got a job. Its temporary but somewhat stable." His fingers rubbed her shoulder under his hand. "I remembered you were here, looked you up… I miss you, Via. So much. Its been three years since I've been in New York. Three long lonely years. I want to try us again."

Olivia opened her mouth to say something, but he stopped her. "Don't make up your mind just yet." His hand moved from where it was, covering her lips softly, to the curve of her face. "Damn, Via. I forgot how beautiful you are."

Her breath hitched when she saw him moving closer to her. "Listen." he requested. "Our song."

'Cause I wonder where you are

And I wonder what you do

Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?

His lips were millimeters from hers. She felt the friction from the two every time he spoke in his low bedroom voice. "Tell me how to win your heart, for I haven't got a clue. But let me start by saying, I love you…" His singing trailed off as he looked into her eyes one last time and placed his lips over hers gently.

Olivia felt herself lean into the kiss, draping a leg across his knee in desperate attempt to get closer to him.

Suddenly, she pulled back, covering her mouth with her hands. "Oh, god. I can't do this!"

"What? What's wrong?" He asked cupping her face again.

"I'm so sorry." She shook her head. "I tried to tell you. Grant, I'm seeing someone."

Grant closed his eyes. "Please, Via. Stay with me."

She left the booth. "I can't."

She opened the apartment door slowly and quietly, hoping to sneak in unnoticed. She made it to the kitchen counter when , "Liv?"

She smiled, looking at her disheveled boyfriend trying to get off the couch. Obviously he had fallen asleep during the news. "Hey El."

Elliot smiled wrapping his arms around her. "Baby, what you doing getting home so late?"

Olivia shrugged. "I lost track of time. Sorry."

He backed her against the wall, pinning her there with his body. "Its okay. I know how we can make up for it." He dipped his head, kissing her neck softly.

Olivia let out a small moan, "El, baby I smell."

"I don't care." he continued kissing and nipping his way around her collarbone.

"I do. Let me go shower please." She laughed as he pouted moving away from her. She walked to the bathroom stripping and climbing into the warm water. Her whole body relaxed as she scrubbed away the day's dirt.

15 minutes later. Olivia came out of the bathroom, to find the bedroom empty. She expected Elliot to be in bed already. She shrugged thinking maybe he had gone for something to eat and walked to her dresser to put away her earrings.

She opened the box on the dresser, surprised to find something else already occupying it. The earrings dropped from her hands as she stared at the white gold, princess cut engagement ring. "Elliot!" She cried out staring at the ring.

Elliot came into the room with a smile on his face. "I see you found my little surprise."

"Elliot is that an engagement ring… for me?" Olivia asked breathlessly.

"If you want it to be, because I sure hope it is." Elliot sunk to one knee with the box in his hand. He withdrew the ring and placed it on her finger. "I love you so much, Olivia. We have been together for two and a half years and if it wouldn't have made me seem crazy, I would've purposed the day I met you. I'm so sure I want to spend my life with you. Marry me, Olivia."

Olivia launched herself at him, kissing him hard. "God, yes!"

Elliot smiled at her, from his position below her on the ground. "Let's celebrate."

A smile graced Olivia's face from ear to ear. "Take me to bed Elliot."

Olivia laid in Elliot's embrace, trailing a finger up and down his arm. "I love you Elliot." She leaned and kissed him. He smiled against her lips, "I love you to, Mrs. Stabler."

"I love hearing that." she snuggled in closer to his side.

"Liv, promise you won't leave me." Elliot requested, his vulnerability breaking Olivia's heart. "I promise."

"Good, because I cannot imagine life without you, now that I know how great every day I spend with you is." He kissed her again and then settled into the pillows, letting sleep overcome his tired body.

Olivia laid awake a bit longer, her mind rushed over the day's events. Tears came to her eyes, she wiped them quickly and scooted closer to Elliot. She looked at his peaceful, sleeping face. She ran a finger over his features. She kissed him and closed her eyes, waiting for sleep to come.

okay so if this doesn't make sense or if you are thinking , what the hell! she cheated on you! again after telling you about her ex husband, yet you still purpose? then you probably didnt read the note at the top. lol
