I am really really really sorry for leaving it so late!! I've been really lazy and I just got a whole heap of crap from school piled on me.
SO SORRY!!
I promise I won't leave it this long again.
Much love,

The sunlight danced across Olivia's face as she began to wake up. She enjoyed the warmth before she heard a heavy sigh that didn't belong to her. Her eyes sprung open and darted around the room before they lay to rest on the chest of the man beneath her head.
Wait a second…oh my god…
Olivia's mind was conflicted – this was something she had wanted for so long but they could both loose their jobs.
She quietly slipped off Elliot's chest and out of the bed, grabbing her underwear and track pants off the ground and putting them on.
Now where is my bra?
She crept down the hallway and found her bra just outside Elliot's bedroom. Picking up all the pieces was bringing back memories from last night which she was forced to cram away into the back of her head along with all her dreams she'd had of him.
She tiptoed into the living room and found the NYPD jumper Elliot had leant her draped over the arm of the couch.
Oh god…
Olivia knew she couldn't leave the apartment without Elliot so n true Olivia fashion; she decided the best way to deal with this was avoid it.
She fumbled around Elliot's kitchen looking for a mug to make coffee when she heard him cough in the other room.
Crap crap crap…
She quickly poured the coffee into the mug and added sugar and milk then poured a mug for Elliot. She left his cup on the bench then headed back towards the bathroom.
"Coffee's on the bench, Elliot." She called after she had passed his bedroom.
She quickly went into the bathroom and closed the door behind her, making sure she locked it this time.

Elliot got up and slid out of bed, suddenly realizing he was stark naked.
What?? Oh right…
He grabbed his pants and briefs and quickly threw them on then wandered out to the kitchen where Olivia had said his coffee was. He took the cup and went and sat on the couch, thinking about what he and Olivia we going to do about last night; whether they were going to do anything.

Olivia stood under the water with a thousand things running through her mind. The man who attacked her. Elliot. What was going to happen at work. Elliot. Other cases. Elliot. Elliot's blue eyes. The way she could melt into his body, the way he was gentle with her, the way his lips brushed hers, the way-
Stop, Olivia just stop. Stop thinking about him…and his lips and his eyes and the way he- ARGH!! I'm doing it again!!
Olivia decided she was better off getting out of the shower before she did her head in. She quickly dried off and got dressed. She quickly did her hair and make up before heading out of the bathroom.
As she slowly crept into the lounge room she didn't notice Elliot sitting on the couch.
"Morning." He said getting up off the couch.
Olivia jumped, "Shit Elliot, You scared me half to death."
"Sorry." He smiled as he walked over to her, mug in hand. He went to kiss her but Olivia quickly took a step back.
"Elliot, you better get in the shower, otherwise we'll be late for work."
Elliot sighed, he thought Olivia might be like this be had hopped otherwise. Not wanting to push his luck, he quickly headed for the bathroom after placing his mug on the bench.
Olivia went into the kitchen and poured another mug of coffee for herself and sat down on the couch.
"What am I going to do?" She whispered, letting a small sob escape from her lips.
She sat there for another ten minutes just starring off into space, letting her mind wander.
Elliot walked into the lounge room and saw Olivia on the couch, "Liv, you ready to go?" Elliot asked.
When he didn't get a response he asked again.
"Liv?" He walked closer to her, "Olivia?" He said a little louder.
Olivia jumped slightly and looked up, "What?" She asked.
"Are you ready to go?"
"Oh yeah, right. Yeah, I'm ready." She got up and put her cup on the bench and followed Elliot out the door.
They made their way to Elliot's car and got in. Olivia was still kind of in a daze and Elliot noticed.
As they put their seat belts on Elliot watched Olivia. He could see she was still kind of shocked and not really concentrating. As he pulled out and onto the road they remained silent.
Once they were well on their way to work Elliot glanced at Olivia quickly before he changed lanes.
"You ok?" Elliot asked, stopping at the traffic lights.
Elliot turned to face her straight on. Olivia held his gaze for a second before answering.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She replied.
Then she did something neither of them expected –
She burst into tears.
"Liv." Elliot sighed.
Suddenly there were a lot of car horns beeping them to move. Elliot quickly put the car into drive and looked for a car park. He quickly found one and pulled over. Olivia was still in tears and Elliot couldn't stand the sight of her like that.
"Oh, Olivia." He sighed again, gathering her into his arms.
Olivia clung to Elliot's shirt, soaking it with her tears until she realised how pathetic she felt. She gently pushed Elliot away and wiped her tears on her sleeve.
"Elliot, I don't need you to come running to my side every time I burst into tears!" She practically yelled.
Elliot was taken aback by Olivia's voice and immediately put his hands up in defense.
"But…Olivia…" Elliot was speechless from Olivia's outburst.
"You're not here to protect me!" She raised her voice again.
"But…But…" Elliot stammered.
"I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF!" She screamed, tears steadily running down her face.
She sat back against the car door and pulled her knees up to her face.
Elliot watched her body shudder as she cried. Each shudder sent a small crack running through his heart.
"Liv," He sighed once again, "I know you can look after yourself, but…" He trailed off.
Olivia looked up at Elliot, "But what?" She said fiercely.
CLIFFHANGER!! So sorry but I couldn't help myself.
R&R or I won't update... and trust me - you want me to update.
