"What!" Elliot exclaimed as her stood up really quick and started pacing back and forth. He was clenching his fist. He needed to punch something. He continued to pace and his face reddened as he thought about Cassidy even touching Olivia. Olivia. He took a breath and looked over at her and she was hugging her knees sobbing.
"Liv" He breathed walked back over to the couch and sitting down. He pulled her into his arms.
"D-Don't t-touch m-me" She murmured trying to get out of his grasp.
"Liv" He tried.
"I know y-you don't believe m-me" She breathed looking away from him. Trying once again to get out of his grasp.
"I do, Liv. I do. Please" He breathed pulling her closer. She finally relaxed into his arms and sobbed into his shoulder. He murmured soothing things in his ear.
"I'm sorry Elliot" She breathed snuggling into his arms.
" For what? What could you possibly be sorry for?" He asked kissing her head.
"I don't know." She breathed.
"I'm going to kill Cassidy" Elliot seethed. He was going to kill his for what he did to Olivia. She didn't deserve this. No one did.
"El, please don't tell him you know" She pleaded. He looked into her watery brown eyes. He leaned down and placed a light kiss on her lips.
"Okay, I wont say anything. I swear. I might hit him though" He said dead serious. She gave a small smile.
"Thank you" She breathed. She leaned up and kissed him softly.
"Wait, so he raped and killed Amber too?" Elliot asked as he connected the dots.
"Yeah" She breathed.
"Liv, I have to tell my Captain" He breathed. He wanted to wait until she was ready, but It was hard.
"Can you please wait till I'm ready? I want to help, its going to be hard to face him. Give me till the end of the week, thats two days" She breathed. He nodded his head and she snuggled into his arms.
"Thank you" She murmured before she fell asleep on his chest. He kissed her head and sat there in thought. Cassidy is going to get it. He better watch his back. Elliot thought as he held Olivia close. Then it hit him, Mikey is Cassidy's son.
Elliot walked into work the next morning, he looked over and Cassidy wasn't there. Lucky Cassidy. Elliot walked right into his Captains office.
"Cap" Elliot said as he walked into the room.
"What do you need Elliot?" He asked looking up.
"I want a new partner" He stated.
"Whats wrong with Cassidy?" He asked now listening to Elliot.
"If I see him I will punch him. This is for his won good" Elliot said his fist clenching.
"Did something happen at the club?" Cragen asked getting concerned.
"You will find out on friday" He breathed.
"Well, work with Fin today" Cragen breathed.
"Thank you" Elliot breathed as he walked back to his desk.
Elliot has been biting his tongue all day, Cassidy has been sitting across from him with this smug look on his face. He wanted nothing more than to wipe it off. Olivia was going to be here soon for lunch and he didn't want him any where near her. He took a deep breath before he looked over at him.
"Cassidy where is Amber's autopsy report?" Elliot asked. Cassidy looked up at him.
"I never took a copy from Melinda" He said.
"Can you go and get it?" Elliot asked trying to sound as polite as possible. Cassidy grumbled before he got up.
"Yeah" He said walking away.
Elliot sat in his seat, hoping Olivia would get here before Cassidy got back. He decided to start working to calm himself.
Olivia saw Elliot working at his desk and smiled. She walked in and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. He stiffened and then relaxed when he realized who it was. He stood up and smiled at her, she smiled back as he pulled her into a hug. She wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Hey" She smiled, she felt safe with Elliot. She felt comfortable with him, enough so that she said this morning that she would try a relationship with him.
Flashback:
"Morning" He mumbled kissing her head. She slowly started to shift and looked up into his eyes.
"Hey" She breathed. He ran his thumb down her jawline and she blushed. He leaned down and kissed her lightly.
"Can I ask you a question?" He asked quietly.
"Mhmm" She murmured. He looked up into her eyes and took a breath.
"Will you go to lunch with me today?" He asked.
"Like a date?" She asked blushing a bit.
"Yeah, like a date" He smiled.
"Yeah" She breathed smiling back before she brushed her lips over his.
Present day:
"Hey" He smiled back. She leaned forward about to kiss him when a familiar voice rang through her ears to cause her to freeze.
"I got it Elliot" Cassidy said as he rounded the corner.
"El" Olivia murmured, He tightened his grip on her.
Cassidy looked at the two and jealousy ragged in him. His fist tightened and he walked closer to the two.
"What did I tell you Olivia" Cassidy seethed.
"Leave her alone" Elliot said moving Olivia behind him. She wrapped her arms around his waist and held him tight.
"Are you screwing her Elliot?"
"No. I'm not" Elliot seethed.
"I think you are, Olivia likes cops. Don't you Livia" Cassidy smirked.
"Shut up Cassidy" Elliot said growing angry.
Just then Cragen came out of his office and watched both of his detectives. He knew if Cassidy wasn't careful Elliot would beat the shit out of him. He watched Olivia behind Elliot, and she looked scared. It got him thinking and he listened intently to the conversation.
"Why do you care Stabler she's a stripper!" Cassidy said laughing.
"She's more than that Cassidy now move so we can leave" Elliot said. He didn't want to punch Cassidy in front of everyone, but he was getting there. Cassidy was acting like Olivia was trash.
"We?"
"Seriously Cassidy move"
"Olivia is mine" He said.
"No she isn't"
"She's been mine for 4 years" Cassidy laughed as he saw the look on Olivia's face. Thats all it took Elliot was out of Olivia's arms in seconds. He walked up to Cassidy and punched him square in the face. Cassidy stumbled back, he wiped the blood from his mouth. Looking at Elliot he was fuming.
Olivia walked over and took Elliot hand. She looked over at Cassidy and took a breath.
"You d-don't own m-me" She breathed as Elliot wrapped his arms around her. He kissed her head and she snuggled into his arms.
"I'm proud of you for saying that" He murmured so only she could hear.
"Cassidy, why don't you take a day off and Elliot why don't you take two" Cragen spoke.
"What why?" Elliot asked.
"Stay with Olivia" Cragen said, and he knew that Captain knew.
"Okay" He breathed.
Olivia was still watching Cassidy, she decided to do something to prove to herself and too Cassidy that she wasn't his, that she was her own person. That she was no longer afraid of him. Elliot gave her the strength to finally put him behind bars and to feel safe again. She looked up into Elliot's eyes and smiled before she cupped his face and kissed him softly.
