Ok, so here's the next part of that oh so exciting debacle at the restaurant. I hope you guys like it. I'm just going to say now, that it's short, and probably cheesy, but whatevs lol
I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING. :(
"I can't believe you hit me" Milo yelled at Elliot. His speech was muffled by his hands covering his face, and the blood that was running from his broken nose. I watched as Cragen stepped inbetween Milo and Elliot, as Alex and Fin rushed over to my side.
"Baby-Girl, you alright?" Fin asked, placing a hand on my shoulder. I nodded. My hand was still over my left cheek, which still stung slightly, due to Milo's slap.
I rubbed my face once more, before dropping my hand, and turning to the bleeding man next to me. "Milo, I think you should go." I knew everyone at the restaurant was watching us, and being the center of attention was making me a little uncomfortable.
He quickly looked at me, before looking over at Elliot, who was trying to calm himself down, no doubt because Cragen had threatened him. "Bitch" he spat, trying to hold his nose.
Everyone looked at me. Sure, I've been called a bitch before, but never in front of a crowded restaurant. I looked at Elliot once more. He was staring at me, making sure I was alright, and at that point I wasn't sure how I felt. I was angry, and happy, and sad, all at once. "You know what Milo" I said, walking up closer to him. "Let me do the rest of the female population a favor." With that, I kneed him in the groin. The douche deserved it, especially after slapping me in the face. I watched as he let go of his bleeding nose, to attend to his aching crotch, before I turned to leave. I was confused, and I needed to go somewhere to think, somewhere where I wouldn't be the center of attention.
As soon as I walked out of the restaurant, I felt a bit of relief, seeing how most of the people had stopped watching me, and were still looking at the crowd I had left behind. Needing to get away as soon as possible, I hailed a cab. It didn't take long, considering what I was wearing. I quickly told the driver where I wanted to go, and handed him cash.
The drive felt like it went by too fast. I had absolutely no time to think about what I had done in the cab. When the driver pulled up to the familiar building, I got out, whispering a quick thank-you, before closing the door. I heard him drive off, before sighing once, and walking into the building.
It looked it had, when I was last here. There were a few people at the bar, nursing a few small drinks, while a few others were dancing away toward the side of the room. "Olivia, my aren't you looking beautiful today."
I looked up and smiled, when I saw Lenny, the bartender, and an old friend. "Thanks Lenny" I replied, taking a seat at the bar.
He quickly appeared in front of me, placing a beer in front of me. "Bad date?" I scoffed, slightly, hoping he hadn't heard it. I usually came here when I had a bad break-up, or after I got off from a horrible date. This was where I could sit and think, about anything and everything.
"Something like that" I said, taking a drink of the open beer in front of me. Truth was, I had probably just ruined my chances of ever getting back with the only man I had ever really loved, all because I ran away, like usual.
I didn't mean it when I said I didn't love you, so .I should've held on tight, I never should've let you go. I didn't know nothing, I was stupid, I was foolish, I was lying to myself. I could not fathom I would ever be without your love. Never imagined I'd be sitting here beside myself, 'Cause I didn't know you, 'cause I didn't know me, but I thought I knew everything I never felt.
"Hey, I know you've probably had one shit of a day, but look who's here."
I looked up at Lenny, who only nodded toward the door. I looked over my shoulder, and saw Elliot. Of course Lenny knew about our break-up, which is why he was trying to warn me.
The feeling that I'm feeling now, that I don't hear your voice. Or have your touch and kiss your lips, 'cause I don't have a choice. Oh, what I wouldn't give to have you lying by my side, right here, 'cause baby
I walked into the building, and almost immediately saw her. She was at the bar, looking at me over her shoulder. In front of her was a beer. I could tell she had come here to think. I locked eyes with her, before walking over to where she sat.
"I'm sorry" she whispered, before taking another drink of her beer.
"For what?"
She turned to me, and that's when I saw how truely confused she was. "For running away."
I shook my head. "Liv, there's nothing for you to be sorry about. I lost my temper, and- he didn't deserve you" I said, grabbing her beer and taking a sip.
She smiled at me, before letting out a sigh. "How'd you know I would be here?" she asked, turning to face me.
"Do you remember what happened here?" I placed my hand on her knee, hoping she wouldn't push it off.
She didn't. She just smiled once more, taking another drink, before answering. "This is where you told me you loved me." I smiled and nodded. "Then, I slapped you in the arm, insulting you for doing it the most unromantic way possible. In a noisy bar, where half the people were drunk."
"Hey, that didn't stop you though. You told me you loved me right after." She let out a laugh, as she nodded. I smiled. Looking at her, made me want her back even more. I was still in love with her, and I was going to show her just what she ment to me.
When you left I lost a part of me. It's still so hard to believe. Come back baby, please, 'cause we belong together. Who else am I gon' lean on when times get rough. Who's gonna talk to me on the phone till the sun comes up. Who's gonna take your place, there ain't nobody better, oh baby baby, we belong together.
I turned my head, catching sight of the people dancing in the corner. "Come on Liv" I said, pulling her off her bar stool. I dragged her to the corner, just as a slow song started to play.
"Elliot, what are you doing?"
I shrugged. Placing my hands on her waist, I pulled her closer to me. "It's the least you could do for me, after I broke that jerk's nose."
She rolled her eyes, before placing her hands on my chest. "Thank-you" she said, before placing her head on my chest as well. We swayed to the music, quietly thinking about what would happen next.
I can't sleep at night when you are on my mind. Bobby Womack's on the radio, saying to me "if you think you're lonely now". Wait a minute this is too deep. I gotta change the station, so I turn the dial, trying to catch a break and then I hear Babyface I only think of you and it's breaking my heart. I'm trying to keep it together, but I"m falling apart. I'm feeling all out of my element. I'm throwing things crying, trying to figure out where the hell I went wrong. The pain inflicted in this song ain't even half of what I'm feeling inside. I need you, need you back in my life, baby.
We swayed to the music, my head on Elliot's chest, while his rest on top of mine. It was relaxing, listening to his heartbeat. It made me feel safe, having his arms around me. I was still in love with him, and he needed to know how I felt.
"Liv, I'm sorry about what happened, but you have to know. I would never do anything to hurt you, especially cheat on you."
I sighed. "I know El. I guess I just overreacted."
He kissed my head. "I love you Olivia. Always have, always will."
I pulled away, and stared into his eyes. I saw just how sorry he was, and how much being away from me was hurting him.
When you left I lost a part of me. It's still so hard to believe. Come back baby, please, 'cause we belong together. Who else am I gon' lean on when times get rough. Who's gonna talk to me on the phone till the sun comes up. Who's gonna take your place, there ain't nobody better, oh baby baby, we belong together.
"I love you too Elliot." I wrapped my arms around his neck, as we continued to sway gently to the music.
I began to play with his hair, as he pulled me closer.

Our lips met, in a sweet, slow kiss. I could tell, by the way he kissed me, that he was in love with me. It was stupid of me to break-up with him over something that seemed so pointless now. I knew he would never do anything to hurt me. It was one of the reasons I loved him so much.
I pulled away first, smiling at him, before resting my head back on his chest. We had to take things one step at a time. He wrapped his arms around me, kissing the crown of my head, before whispering "I love you Liv."
I smiled. "I love you too El" I whispered back, telling him just how much I believed we belonged together.
okay, I'm not happy with this chapter, but oh well. I'm just glad I'm done with this 'story'.
Hopefully if I make up anymore, they come out better than this one did.
Tell me what you think
