Two hours later Olivia woke up, she rubbed her eyes trying to wake up more quickly. As she turned she found Elliot sleeping peacefully like a baby. She remembered last night, their first kiss, their first night together. It was the best night she had had in a long time. She was really in love with this guy; she thought as she remembered what they said to each other.

The sleeping body next her turned and wrapped an arm around her waist. Olivia smiled as she remembered how sweet and gentle Elliot was with her. "Today's my sister's birthday; she wants you to be there." His words and voice echoed in her ears. If his sister wants her to be there meant that Elliot talked about her to his sister. Oh my God!! She didn't know what to wear.

With panic she shook Elliot trying to wake him. "Elliot! Wake up!" she shouted to him as he moaned trying to sleep. But Olivia was shaking him so much it was impossible to continue sleeping. He opened his eyes and yawned widely.

"I want to sleep woman, what is it?" Elliot asked covering his face with his tired hands. Last night was so intense, that he wanted was to rest all day. Olivia's lovely face was there when he pulled his hand away, a huge smile on her face knowing that he would kill her when he heard why she had to wake him up.

"I don't know what to wear for your sister's birthday," Olivia complained half joking and half serious. She wanted to impress his family, she didn't want to be just another woman to them, because she was sure she was not just another woman for Elliot.

Elliot closed his eyes laughing hard, causing her to laugh as well. "You totally ruined my sleep, darling," he whispered before kissing her. It was a soft and gentle kiss which soon ended. He could read her face and knew why she was so concerned. "Don't worry baby, they'll love you," he whispered and hugged her. It nearly broke his heart to see how a simple tear trickle down her face "We can go clothes shopping if you want to," Elliot said joking trying to make her smile and he did. Her smile illuminated the whole room.

After eating a late breakfast they headed to the mall.

It took them forever to find the right outfit. It was a pair of white trousers and a brown blouse. Elliot was waiting for Olivia to finish trying on the clothes and was sitting on a couch right in front of the changing room. It took her two minutes to appear in the new outfit. He stared at her, slowly looking from her feet to her head, she was gorgeous. "So… how do I look?" she asked a nervous smile on her face.

Instead of answering, Elliot walked towards her and kissed her before leading her to the cubicle once again. He locked the door and continued kissing her.

There was a little girl, no more than six years old, buying clothes with her mother. The little one pulled her mother's hand to capture her attention and the woman kneeled so she could hear what her daughter was saying. "Mom, a man has just went in there with a woman," the little girl whispered before running around the place with her brother.

The woman covered her mouth and looked for the sales assistant. She was not going to allow this, not where children could see or hear them. The assistant looked surprised and ran to the changing rooms, it was her store and she couldn't tolerate people who did this. Once she arrived she knocked furiously on the door.

A second later a shy Elliot opened the door a little bit, only reveling half of his face. "This is not a motel!" The woman shouted angrily waiting for his response. She could see they were both dressed, they were just kissing, but she needed to show who was in charge. She could hear the woman behind him laughing hysterically.

"I'm sorry ma'am, we'll buy the white trousers and the brown blouse," Elliot whispered before closing the door once again. A second later both exited the changing rooms and paid for the outfit.

It didn't take long before both were standing in front of Elliot's sister's house. She was more than nervous and she was sure she was showing it by the way Elliot was looking at her. "Just be yourself, Liv," he whispered before knocking.

They could hear people laughing and chatting inside. Olivia didn't feel ready for this big step; after all they'd only known each other a week. Elliot seemed so sure about this, so relaxed. She had almost said those three words last night. She shook her head at the thought. It was too soon to love him, way too soon. She didn't want to ruin this relationship by saying it, even though she was sure he was feeling the same.

Elliot took her hand in his just as a brunette woman with bright blue eyes opened the door laughing. "Happy birthday beautiful!" Elliot said hugging her tightly. She thanked him and turned to Olivia, who was standing right next to Elliot. The woman smiled and gave her a short hug in an attempt to make her feel welcomed. "She's Olivia, Sus," Elliot said as both women smiled at each other.

"I know, El," Susan said ushering them into the house which was full of balloons and food. Many people approached Elliot and hugged him. Elliot presented Olivia to his family and friends. Everyone welcomed her and made her feel comfortable, just as she deserved to be. Even though her feelings for Elliot were real, it felt like of she was cheating on him, because of the whole bet thing.

When no-one was watching, Susan took Elliot by the arm and guided him to the kitchen. Meanwhile, Olivia stayed there talking and laughing with one of Elliot's brother, Daniel. He was extremely funny and sweet.

Once both siblings were in the kitchen, Elliot was the first one to talk. "What is it?"

Susan looked around to see if there was anyone listening. "This is serious, isn't it El?" she asked her brother curiously. It was the first time he had brought a girlfriend to meet his family, even more to a birthday. This must be serious or he wouldn't have done it.

"What are you talking about?" Elliot asked. He knew too well what she was talking about. He just didn't want to have this conversation with her, because Susan would always make him open up and talk about his feelings. He almost said something serious last night to Olivia, something he would not take back, he wasn't ready to admit that to his sister.

"You know too well what I'm talking about El, about Olivia!" Susan said loudly. Olivia overheard her name mentioned and walked to the kitchen. Without saying a word she just stood there and listened.

"What about her?" Elliot said avoiding eye contact with his sister. It had only been a week; he couldn't love her that much. Olivia made a part of Elliot's heart come alive, something no-one had done before.

"It's the first time you've brought someone here and she's also wearing mom's bracelet," she whispered. Instantly, Olivia stroked the bracelet Elliot had given her the night before, when their feelings were exposed. Now she knew how much it meant to him, how much she meant to him. When Elliot didn't answer and closed his eyes, Susan continued. "You love her, don't you?" she asked this time far more gently.

Olivia touched her chest as one tear fell. She waited for his answer, hoping it would be a yes. But at the same time, fearing it would be yes. She closed her eyes once Elliot opened his mouth to answer, "Yes, I love her… but… it's only been a week," he whispered as his sister approached him, "I don't want to ruin this." Susan gave him a hug, proud of her big brother. After a couple of seconds, she noticed Olivia there. She broke the hug and took a step away from Elliot.

"I think someone … is calling me," she said and walked away, leaving the two of them alone. At first Elliot didn't understand why she left, but when he turned, he saw Olivia standing there with tears on her face. She took a step forward.

"How long you've been there?" he asked nervously, worried he'd ruined everything. Olivia wiped her tears away and walked to him. She smiled and looked at him for a while, trying to figure if what he said was real. She took his hand and waited for what he was about to say. "I'm sorry… I've ruined everything," he let out a sigh as tears formed in his eyes.

Olivia placed his hand on her chest so he could feel her heart beating. "You didn't ruin anything… I love you too," she whispered and he captured her lips in the most beautiful kiss either of them had ever experienced.

With their feelings revealed they continued with the party, laughing more than ever, knowing they shared a special and close bond- love.
