It was 6:45 by the time Olivia returned to her apartment from the precint. Great that gives me almost two hours to prepare for tonight. She placed her badge and gun on the kitchen counter, and locked her door. Her heart was beating was seemed like a million miles per hour. She walked into her bedroom, and shed her work clothes. She headed to her bathroom to take a shower. Olivia methodically placed out everything she needed to look her best: vanilla scented shampoo, conditioner, and body wash (Elliot's favorite), shaving cream, and a razor.
Olivia submerged herself into the hot water, a relief from the hard day she had faced. She generously added shampoo to her head and made sure to wash each and every strand of her hair. She did the same thing with the conditioner. She lathered her body with soap, shaved, sat under the pelts of hot water for another minute, and then stepped out of the shower. Olivia wrapped one towel around her body and another towel around her hair. She brushed her teeth and washed her face before leaving the bathroom and returning to her bedroom. Olivia looked at herself in the mirror, trying to figure out how she was going to present herself tonight. Not to fancy, yet not to relaxed. She finally decided on an au naturale look and something with color. Olivia walked to her closet. She finally decided on a pair of skinny black jeans, black jeans, and a purple knit tank top.
Olivia slipped into the bra and panties set she had been saving for an occasion like this. She was going to finally have Elliot, she thought to herself. She applied deodarant, moisturized her skin, and slipped into her outfit. She looked at herself once more in the mirror. Damn, I hope he likes this, Olivia thought to herself. Oliva looked at her clock. 7:30. She had a half hour to do her hair and makeup. She combed her waves, making sure to unknot every imperfection in her hair. She then applied product to it, so the waves would stay in place and wouldn't friz. Then, Olivia did her makeup. She put on some mascara and a dab of lip gloss.
Olivia was touching up the last bits of her hair when someone knocked on her door. It's time. She smiled and walked to the door. Olivia took a deep breath, and opened the door. There was Elliot Stabler, standing in front of her with a bouquet of white roses in his hands.
"Liv, you look...breathtaking." Elliot said, his eyes raking up and down Olivia.
"Thanks, El. I was about to say the same thing about you."
Elliot was looking as sexy and handsome as ever. He was in khaki pants, black dress shoes, and a navy v-neck.
"These are for you."
"Elliot they're beautiful! You didn't have to get me these."
"Liv, I would get or do anything for you." He looked into her eyes, emotion showing his his deep blue eyes.
"You ready to go, Liv?"
"Yeah! Let me just get my purse."
Olivia grabbed her purse, and walked out of her apartment, hand in hand with Elliot. This was going to be one hell of a night, Olivia and Elliot thought to themselves.
