A/N: Just a filler I'm really trying to get to the good bit of this story but it's not easy because I'd be missing a huge chunk of time so I'm writing little fillers until I get there!
The week since Dominic had been home went by far too quick for Olivia's liking. It meant that in three weeks' time she'd be waving him off on a three month tour and she was feeling a bit down about it.
As ever, Elliot was being insufferable and telling her to save herself the heartache and break it off with him, yet all Olivia did was hold onto him more in reply.
Every day he surprised her at work. Whether it was with coffee or flowers and she spent her lunch hour with him which she knew was making Elliot worse, he'd barely seen her on a personal level since she'd been with Dominic every hour she could spare.
Now though, she would be spending her first night with Dominic. She had the day off the next day and Dominic had asked if he could spend the whole night and day with her. Olivia had just smiled and nodded in reply.
They'd planed on going to the movies followed by bowling and ice skating for the day and with it being Olivia's day off and she wasn't on call she was going to turn her phone off and leave it at home, she had every right to and for the first time since she'd been a detective she was going to.
"You ready to go?" Dominic asked as he sensed her walking into the room.
"Yeah." Olivia smiled grabbing her coat from the back of the chair, that's when Dominic turned his attention from the sports news he was watching and saw what Olivia was wearing.
She was dressed in figure hugging skinny jeans and a pair of just below the knee brown flat boots. She wore a just below the elbow sleeved blue sweater which also hugged her figure. Her hair was slightly wavy and her makeup just a little more than she would wear to work.
"Olivia you look…"
"Thanks." She replied before he could say the word he was thinking of. "Ready to go?" She asked.
"Of course." He smiled.
He switched off the TV and Olivia grabbed her purse and her keys and they left together.
After a movie, a meal and then a walk in the park Olivia and Dominic walked to Olivia's apartment. What neither one of them expected was to find Elliot sitting on the steps of Olivia's apartment block.
"Elliot? What are you doing here?" Olivia asked.
"I've been trying to call you Olivia, all night!" Elliot snapped.
"It's my night and day off, I am not Detective Benson for the next thirty six hours Elliot so I switched my phone off and threw it in my drawer." Olivia snapped. "Not that it's any of your business so what on earth are you doing here?"
"I was worried, that's all. I called to ask you if you wanted to meet for a drink and when your phone went straight through to voicemail I tried to call you over and over again and then I thought I'd come here." Elliot explained.
"Thank you for your concern Elliot but I'm a big girl and I can look after myself, I'm fine." Olivia said. "Better than fine, I'll see you at work ok?" She asked before leading Dominic up the steps of her apartment block.
"See you tomorrow." He mumbled but Olivia didn't hear him.
"That was awkward." Dominic laughed as soon as they entered Olivia's apartment.
"Right now I do not want to think about Elliot Stabler." She said pushing Dominic up against her door with a bang.
Her lips crashed into his and her hands curled around his as he returned the kiss. She moaned subconsciously into his mouth as he began to push against her guiding her back towards the couch. As soon as her legs hit the arm of the couch she fell back pulling Dominic with her.
His lips fell from hers as they both laughed loudly.
"Oops." Olivia giggled and Dominic just smiled and looked down at her.
As she giggled his expression softened as he reached out and tucked her hair behind her ear and she stopped laughing but had a softness in her eyes.
"Come to bed?" Olivia asked and Dominic nodded and pulled himself up off the couch before helping Olivia follow suit.
He had to admit to himself that he didn't think they would have sex but a make out session was better than anything because he understood that she'd almost been raped and it didn't take a genius to work out that like with war heroes who panicked when a car backfired that Olivia would probably panic if he touched her in a certain manner. He'd been at the wrong end of her gun when she'd banged her head in the past.
Once in Olivia's room she stripped him of his shirt and he slipped down the zip of her dress. Once they were down to just their underwear Olivia climbed into what was obviously 'her' side of the bed and Dominic climbed in the opposite side feeling relieved when Olivia snuggled straight into his side.
He kissed the side of her head and they both relaxed back, letting sleep take them.
