Please review!

"Elliot, I'm going to throw up." Olivia said digging her heels into the carpet while he pushed her inside the booth. He had finally convinced John to produce his song with Olivia singing it. It was a miracle, and Olivia wouldn't take it away by being nervous.

"You will be fine. I'll just be on the other side of the glass. Just think of what we did at home and it will come to you." Elliot said standing her in front of the microphone and moving the stand to face her, trying not to feel guilty with the tension growing in her muscles under his palms. "Good luck." He whispered before kissing her cheek and hurrying out of the booth.

Olivia stood frozen. "Did you just kiss me?" She asked knowing that he could hear her, but he ignored her question and let John take over.

John's voice came over the speaker above her. "Alright Olivia, I'll play the music and you just sing the words on that page. Give me what I want." He said before slamming his hand down on the button that started playing the track that Elliot had prerecorded with his guitar in the studio.

Hours had passed and John loved the track, but he kept saying that something was missing from the song that would make it another number one hit. He finally plopped down in a chair and raised his hands in defeat in front of Elliot and Olivia. "I know what it needs." Olivia stated crossing her arms over her chest. "I think that this piece needs to be a duet."

"Liv, this is John Munch. He would know if this song needed to be a duet or not." Elliot said swiveling in his chair.

"I hadn't even thought about making this a duet, but you're right!" John said standing up and going over to his phone. "But, it's late. Who am I going to get to sing this with you at this hour?"

Olivia pointed to Elliot. "Have him sing with me?"

Elliot's eyes widened. "Me? Have you heard me sing?"

"Yes, you're not great, but you're not tone deaf. It would really make me less nervous if you were in there with me." Olivia smiled at him, bumping her hip into his chair and giving him her famous puppy dog face that he couldn't resist even when he didn't know he liked her.

John nodded his head. "Elliot, you're singing. If I don't like it, I'll find another duet partner. But, I want this song out soon. If I don't come out with a single soon, my reputation is going to start suffering the consequences." He pointed towards the booth. "I'm waiting."

Elliot put his hands on the music stand in front of him, glancing up at Olivia who was staring at her music intensely. Even though this was only her second time in here, she looked like a professional to him. He had seen many artists come through here, and only a handful of them took to music that was she did. "Beautiful." He breathed out.

Olivia looked up at him with furrowed eyebrows. "What?"

"Nothing." Elliot blurted out shaking his head. "John, we're ready."

"Alright, Elliot I want you to take the first verse. Sing like you're making love." John said into the speaker with a smirk on his face. Olivia's face reddened in response, and Elliot was sure his own was probably the same.

When the music started playing, Elliot began singing. "I wanna be tied to you... I wanna lay in our bed... I wanna hold you... Until you know all that you're worth... Cause when the sun in coming up, I want you to know, that when tonight comes back around, I'll be right here, I need to know that you know that you are everything I never thought I'd find." He smiled hearing Olivia's voice join his in the chorus.

"Cause there will be love and pain and heartache, but I promise you just one thing... I will be the one constant in your life, even when I swear I'll leave you... And I know that there's probably someone out there who will be so much better for you... But I'm nothing but selfish cause I just wanna be tied to you. I just want to be with you."

Olivia grinned at Elliot before beginning to sing the second verse. "Cause I love that smile of yours... When you call me on the phone... I hear it in your voice... And I know that you'll always be there... Cause when you lay me on the sheets, and call me baby, there's this feeling that I get, and I don't want to stop, I need to know that you know that you are everything I never thought I'd find."

Elliot almost felt like a giddy boy on Christmas morning when he looked up at Olivia to start singing the third verse. "I'll hold you until the pain is gone. Until your body and your bones are weak."

"I'm gonna stay with you forever more. Hold your hand in mine to see you smile." Olivia sang out before they repeated the chorus together, listening to the final cords of the song before the booth went silent.

John's voice came over the speaker a few moments later, watching as the two tried to steady their breathing on the other side of the glass. "That's all I need."

Olivia hummed as her and Elliot walked down the sidewalk together towards their apartment, both still pumped with adrenaline from their duet together. "I told you it was better as a duet."

"I still can't believe John is going to put that out in a few weeks." Elliot chuckled shaking his head. "People will be listening to us, my song, and experience the emotions we wanted them too. I just can't get my mind to wrap around this yet."

"Well, what will get you to believe it?" Olivia laughed stepping in front of him, stopping either of them from going anywhere.

Elliot smiled at her, looking down at their shoes from just the thoughts running through his head. "You'll think it's stupid."

Olivia rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest. "Try me."

"Promise you won't hit me?" Elliot asked and waited until Olivia nodded her head. He took a deep breath and leaned forward, capturing her lips in his. He smiled when he felt Olivia tense up, just letting the kiss happen. He pulled back only a few millimeters, his lips still brushing hers when he spoke. "Is this you kissing? Because it feels like I'm kissing my mom."

"You didn't warn me." Olivia retorted trying to defend her moment of complete shock.

Elliot shrugged. "I don't think that's how kissing works." He stepped around her and started walking to their apartment again.

Olivia frowned and hurried to catch up with him. "Trying to believe something doesn't mean you kiss someone to get yourself in the right frame of mind." She felt herself get more frustrated when Elliot just kept walking, knowing that their was a shit eating grin on his face the entire time. She knew she shouldn't, but he was tempting her to her breaking point. "Why don't you try again?" She smirked when he froze on the spot.

"Try again?" Elliot asked turning around to face her. She was bundled up in her black coat, her hands shoved into her pockets, and her eyes were nearly black with either determination or something else he hadn't seen before. "I don't know if I want to try again."

"Fine, be that way. I know I'm a good kisser." Olivia stated as she began to walk past him. "I'll just get a boyfriend."

Elliot grabbed her arm and turned her around, kissing her again square on the lips. She didn't hesitate this time. Her lips immediately melded to his and gave him everything that he was returning. Other than his hand on her covered arm, there was no physical contact other than their lips meeting each other gently at first and becoming more frenzied. He pulled back when he remembered where they were. "No one gets to kiss you but me." He pecked her lips again, glancing down the street to their apartment building. "Do you want to go home and continue this?"

Olivia looked down at his hand still on her arm. She didn't know if it was the sudden high she was on from the song or the words that he sang to her not two hours ago, but she could only think of one answer. "Yes."
