A/N: As promised here is the next chapter done in a timely manner. I'm not sure where this is going so if you have any suggestions I'm open to them.

Once again thanks for all the reviews. You guys are so great!

Olivia felt the tightness in her chest grow as her eyes locked with Elliot's. She could see the fear and guilt playing through them. Olivia wanted so bad to just sit down and forget what Casey had told her in the bathroom, she really had no reign over Elliot while she was away. Even now nothing had been said about the two being involved or exclusive to each other. If she was to be analytical of it all there had only been a few touches and suggestive comments between them.

Olivia sighed and shook her head softly moving her eyes away from his intense gaze. "Guys, I think I'm going to head home. I pretty tired. I'll see you all Monday." She spoke softly to the group as she reached for her bag.

Munch and Fin stole a quick glance at each other, they could see that Olivia had obviously been crying and now their Big Brother mentality had kicked in.

"Baby Girl, is everything ok?" Fin asked concern thick in his voice.

"Yeah, just tired. Night guys"

Olivia made a move to leave the table when Elliot's had took a hold of her wrist; he quickly stood up and turned to face her.

"I'm taking you home, ok?" Elliot said softly.

"No you're not"

"Please Liv. We need to talk"

Olivia threw her head back in frustration. This was the one thing that she could not take about Elliot Stabler, his inability to back off when she asked. The man was relentless when it came to getting her to talk to him.

"Look, I'm not doing this here or not even tonight. I just want to go home."

The detectives and the ADA all sat quietly as they watched what appeared to be the start of a live soap opera play out before them. Olivia tried to pull her wrist free of Elliot's tight grip but he was not surrendering her anytime soon.

"Liv..."

"Let me go!" She said roughly.

At the tone of her voice Munch and Fin quickly rose to their feet. They were accustomed to the fights between Elliot and Olivia but one thing they would never stand for was a man restraining her against her will, even if it was Elliot.

"Elliot, take your hands off her" Munch said, peering at him over his glasses.

Elliot glared back at him but released his hold on Olivia. The moment that she was released Olivia stormed her way through the crowded bar and made her way to the exit. Elliot waited for all of two seconds before he started to follow her. He had not moved to far from them table when an arm reached out for him stilling him. He spun around anger pulsating through him and ready to hit his hinderer.

"Let her go man." Fin said in an even tone.

"You don't tell me what I can and can't do" Elliot seethed to the man in front of him

"I'm telling you Elliot, you make that girl cry, and I'll hurt ya"

Elliot's face softened slightly. He knew how Munch and Fin felt about Olivia but it still pissed him off that they would think he would ever hurt her. "I love her Fin. That's all. I just love her. And I need to speak to her before she can run. I lost her once before and I'll be damned if I lose her again."

Fin nodded accepting Elliot's plea. Elliot quickly pulled away from the man and made his way to the exit.

Olivia groaned in frustration as she tried to hail the ninth cab that passed. It was a Friday night so she knew this was not going to be an easy task but there was no way in Hell she could walk the fifteen blocks to her apartment in her four inch strappy heals. All she wanted to do was go home and have a good cry. A cry would be good, she needed the release, and God knows she wasn't going to get it any other way tonight.

"Olivia!"

She flinched when she heard him shout her name. She quickly looked around hoping that a magical cab would appear and take her away. When she realised there was no way of escape she started off down the street, her feet begging for mercy after only a few short yards.

"Olivia wait!"

Elliot quickly caught up with the fleeing woman and spun her around to face him.

"Don't touch me!" She hissed, her voice sounding unsure of its conviction even to her own ears.

"Please Liv. Let me explain"

"Explain? You want to explain? What could you possibly say that won't want me want to hit you right now?"

Elliot rubbed his hands frustratedly over his face. He dropped his hands to his side and looked into her eyes. He had always loved her eyes; they told him everything he needed to know about her. But he hated what he saw in them right now, he could see all the hurt and frustration swell through them.

"I know you know, about me and Beck. I was nothing Liv. It was one time"

Hearing Elliot confirm her fear was like having him rip her heart out with his bare hands. The tears that had fallen earlier in the bathroom now returned with a vengeance.

"Why. Why her?"

"I just missed you so much but I was so pissed at you Liv. You left me. You didn't even say goodbye. You'll never know how much you hurt me, Liv, leaving like that. Anyway, I just wanted the shit in my head to stop; I didn't want to think about you. So one night Beck and I went out and I had a bit to drink and then the next thing I know..."

Olivia was unashamedly crying now. She knew she would be causing trouble in their already unstable relationship when she let Star talk her into going undercover but never did she think he would be so hurt.

"You should have told me El. You should have told me; instead I have to hear about it from Casey in the bathroom!"

"I know. I wanted to tell you. But, shit Liv, everything started to change between us so quickly. I mean one minute I'm just getting my friend back and then the next minute your hands are on my ass and we have this whole sexual innuendo going on. And I still have no idea what we're doing"

Olivia chuckled at the mention of the hands on the ass. God, she wanted to put her hands back there again. Elliot looked at her his brow furrowed. He was having a hard time reading her at the moment, she still had tears streaked down her cheeks but she was also laughing at him.

"Liv, you going to have to throw me a bone here. Are you ok? Are we ok?"

Olivia looked him in the eyes and took a deep breath. She could see the sincerity behind the words he spoke and truly believed in him. And bottom line for her was she didn't want to keep looking for excuses as to not be with him. He had been divorced for nearly two years and every time she let her mind wonder to the possibility of a relationship with him she would find ways to tell herself it would be a bad idea. She just wanted him, all of him, regardless of who he had been with prior.

"We're going to be fine El. It's not like I can judge you. I too have had my fair share of the drunken one night stand." Olivia pulled him to a hug.

Elliot quickly pulled out of her embrace and gave her a confused look. "What are you talking about? I never slept with her. We kissed, that's all"

Olivia threw her head back. "Oh thank God!"

Elliot laughed and pulled her in close to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and played with the soft hair and the nape of his neck. He lowered his lips to her neck and nuzzled her softly. Olivia let out a low moan as her stomach fluttered with desire and need.

"So, can I take you home Ms Benson?" He whispered against the soft skin on her neck.

"Abso-fucking-lutely "

He grinned at her eagerness and pulled her off down the street to her apartment eager to end eight years of tension.
