Chapter 4
Elliot couldn't help but listen in as Olivia thanked Casey for setting her up with someone who he only knew as a loser. Olivia had used the term to describe him more than once. "It was a complete bust Casey he showed up so late the food had gone cold….well yea I still ate it but that's not the point." She argued over the phone.
Elliot just smiled but tried his hardest to make it look like he was concentrating on paperwork. "Just remind me never to go out with someone who you set me up with." Olivia said before hanging up.
He watched her as she began working on her computer, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her that yet another one of her dates had been a flop but he was also kind' of relieved. "Is everything okay?" He asked.
"Yea I'm just looking up sites where you can register to become a nun." She said.
"Oh yea I can just imagine you in a nuns outfit, praying and singing to God." Elliot laughed.
"Hey I have a good voice, God would be lucky to have me singing to him." She said, frustrated.
"Liv you're gonna find your guy." He said.
She sighed and looked at him. Although he looked great everyday, he had a certain ruggedness about him this morning that made her heart race. "You want to go and get some food?" She asked him.
He just smiled at her and nodded.

After finding a seat in the favorite eating place they had ordered and were now tucking into their food. Elliot had opted for the greasy burger and fries whereas Olivia had chosen the healthy salad. Elliot looked at what she was eating it looked awful. "You should eat some proper food Liv, you're gonna turn into a lettuce leaf." He said.
She just smiled at his concern. "No man is gonna want me if I have a fat ass and love handles. I'm trying to get my body as good as I can." She said eating some more. Hardly believing how out of character she was being, she just didn't want to be alone anymore.
"Your body's perfect Olivia." Elliot said. blushing slightly after the words had escaped his mouth.
She just smiled, even more as she watched his cheeks turn rosier. "Well it's good to know someone thinks so." She said.
Now he smiled. "Here have a bite of my burger." He said holding it out to her.
She looked at it, really wanting a bite especially with it been his. "Come on Liv you're not gonna go up a bra size if you just have a bite, although maybe that's not a bad thing…" He said with a playful smile.
She took the burger from him and held it in both hands by her mouth, just taking in its heavenly smell. "My breasts are just fine." She said before she took a big bite.
Elliot just laughed as she completely stuffed her mouth full. She began chewing, struggling with the amount she had took all the filling fell out on her hands which Elliot found hilarious, she wanted to laugh but couldn't cause her mouth was jam packed.
"Olivia Benson, no way it's really you!"
They both looked up to see a handsome man looking directly at Olivia suddenly looking a little appalled as he saw her cheeks bulging with burger. Elliot just winced, feeling for her, she was blushing worse than he had just been.
She covered her mouth with rest of the burger in her hands "Hi." She tried to say from behind it, but just ended up making a muffled sound
"What?" The guy said to her.
She just dropped the burger and waved at him then began wiping the sauce and other fillings off her hands with a napkin, still trying to chew through the load in her mouth. Elliot felt bad at how amusing he was finding this.
"Look I'm gonna go, but err, it was err…nice to…err…I gotta go…" The guy said stuttering on his words before he raced off, not even waiting for her to say goodbye, or even wave.
She finally was able to swallow the load in her mouth, washing it down with a swig of water.
"That was painful Liv…really." Elliot said to her sympathetically.
"I dated that guy in high school he was the love of my life. Now he just thinks I'm some greedy cow." She said passing him his burger back. "At this rate I'm gonna be marrying Munch." She said.
"Why Munch?" Elliot asked.
"I don't know…" She whimpered as she folded her arms on the table in front of her then let her head fall onto them.
He just looked at her. Deciding enough was enough he opened his mouth to tell her it was him who had kissed her, but before he could so much as breathe she was up on her feet and walking towards the bathroom. He just looked ahead he'd wait till she came back.
After almost ten minutes she still hadn't come back, he was starting to worry. He had visions of her sat in the ladies bathroom crying, all alone, but then he heard a laugh, one he would recognize anywhere…hers…
He turned to see her sat down in the corner of the room talking to some guy. He couldn't see his face, but whoever the dark haired guy was he was making her laugh. She suddenly stood up, the guy quickly following her. His jaw dropped when he saw who it was…Trevor Langan.
Elliot watched as Trevor walked over to pay for his meal, he heard him offering to pay for Olivia's salad, not taking 'no' for an answer. Elliot just shook his head and scoffed. Olivia walked back over to him. "I'll meet you back in the office." She said with a smile.
Elliot nodded, he was a little hurt to say the least. He couldn't help thinking that he should have just grabbed hold of her and kissed her and told her it was him that way. He watched as she walked out with Trevor. It had started out quite fun for him, but now he was starting to go off the game, he just wanted to be the one to hold her and kiss her, for the rest of her life…
