Around seven a knock echoed through Olivia's apartment. She rushed out of her apartment and did a double check in the mirror beside the door. She flipped her hair and straightened out her little black dress, before opening the door and stepping out.

Elliot smiled at her, "You look really pretty."

She smiled back, "You too?"

He laughed and together they walked downstairs. He opened the car door for her and then got in his designated side.


They arrived at the restaurant about thirty minutes later.

Elliot stepped up to the host, "Reservations for Stabler."

The man smiled and grabbed two menus. "Right this way, sir."

He led them to a quiet table near a fireplace in the back of the room. "Can I get you anything to drink?"

"Vodka martini, extra dirty." Olivia requested looking at her menu.

Elliot cleared his throat, "How about a bottle of red wine, instead?"

Olivia looked up and gave a shy smile, "Yeah that sounds good."

"Okay, coming right up." The man smiled.

Elliot looked over at her, "Is everything alright?"

"Yeah," she sighed. "I'm just a little nervous, I guess."

"Why?" He moved closer and lowered his voice, "If you being here with me, makes you wanna drink to get through it, then I think it'd be best for us both to just leave."

"No El, that's not it." Olivia assured him placing a hand over his.

"Then what is it?" He asked.

Olivia opened her mouth to speak but their waiter interrupted them, placing the wine between them and filling their glasses. "Have you decided what you want?"

"What are the specials?" Elliot questioned.

"Well right now we have a chicken and eggplant parmesan dish with marinara sauce, spaghetti penne with meat sauce, and a four cheese ravioli." He replied.

"I'll take the chicken and eggplant." Elliot decided.

Olivia smiled. "The spaghetti sounds good to me."

The waiter smiled back at her, "Coming right up."

Elliot looked around. "Do you wanna dance?"

Olivia blushed automatically. "They're slow dances."

"I know." he smiled standing up next to her.

She stood and let him lead her over to the dance floor. He wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her to him. She tensed a little then relaxed and put her arms around his neck.

Elliot bent his head and was humming the song in her ear, making the hairs on her neck stand up.

Even the best fall down some times

Even the wrong words seem to rhyme

Out of the doubt that fills your mind

You finally find

You and I collide

You finally find

You and I collide

You finally find

You and I collide

The song ended and Elliot brought Olivia closer to him, "The foods ready." Then he kissed her ear softly and walked back to the table. Olivia followed wondering if she looked as stunned as she felt.

He pulled the chair out for her and then sat down himself, grabbing a fork and dug in.

Olivia poked around her plate, giving the appearance she was eating. She had other things on her mind.

Elliot looked over, almost half way through with his chicken. "Is something wrong with the food?"

"No I'm just not very hungry." she gave him a half-assed smile.

"Well we can go then." Elliot flagged down a waiter who boxed up the food and gave them the bill, which he paid promptly.


Elliot walked Olivia up to her apartment slowly, neither one talked. Olivia opened the door and looked back at Elliot, "I bought a bottle of Grey Goose today. Want some?"

He smiled, "Sure, the wine kinda sucked."

Olivia smiled at him and walked into her kitchen grabbing two glasses and the vodka from the freezer. 45 minutes and 8 glasses later, Elliot and Olivia were laughing hysterically at a bug trapped beneath an ash tray.

Olivia leaned against Elliot, then turned to him with an expression that looked like she was Edison discovering light. "You kissed me today!"

Elliot thought really hard. "I did, didn't I."

"Why?" Olivia asked playing with his ear.

"I dunno." Elliot said.

"I know why!' Olivia laughed, "You like me, you want to kiss me. You want to love me. La la la la la!"

Elliot smiled and leaned over kissing her lips sloppily. Olivia melted into it, spilling a glass of vodka on the couch between them. She climbed over and straddled him pulling out his shirt from his pants. Elliot stood and slowly made his way to her bedroom, carrying her. He closed the door and together they…
