Over the next 2 days, Olivia and Elliot stopped by all of the victims houses. They gathered new evidence as to how the rapist chose his victims. They were back in New York at the precinct. They filled the Captain in on the new evidence they had gathered. They had barely slept in three days and were looking pretty worn down, but they were determined to catch this guy.
"Great job you two. Go home and get some rest. You've been up basically for two days straight. You've got new leads for us to hit. I'll call you if anything turns up."
"Thanks Cap." The captain had no idea how thankful Elliot actually was.
They were in Elliot's car when he looked at her. "Liv, I didn't say this to you at all, but good job. You handled it really well."
"Thanks. Now can you get me home so my head can hit my pillow?" She laughed.
"I think I can handle that," he told her as he chuckled.
They got back to her apartment, and Elliot was about to pull away when she stopped him. "Your more then welcome to stay again, if you want."
"I would but I have to get home. I am going to the lawyer's office in a few hours after I sleep. It's only 8 in the morning. Mind if I come back tonight though and maybe stay with you for a while? I don't mean to seem intrusive, but it would give me a place to be when things get worse with Kathy."
Olivia was shocked. She wasn't expecting that. But she was more then happy that he wanted to stay with her.
"Of course El."
"Thanks Liv. So see you tonight?"
"Yeah, that's fine." She smiled warmly at him.
"Great. Bye."
"Bye." She backed away from the car as she watched him drive off.
After he left Olivia rushed up to her apartment. She couldn't sleep yet. She had to clean up her apartment. She rushed from one room to the next. She finally got to the dreaded room. The kitchen. Dishes hadn't been done in a month. She was disgusted by her own apartment. She finally got everything done at around 11. She went back to her bedroom and got changed for bed. As soon as she hit the pillow she was lost in her dreams.
Elliot came from behind her, wrapped his arms around her and started kissing her neck. He led her to the bed and laid her down. He crawled up her body and kissed her passionately. He pulled down her sweatpants, then her underwear. She sat up and started to take off her shirt. He helped her pull it off. "Your beautiful Liv." He unsnapped her bra. She kissed him vigorously. He made his way down her body, kissing and touching every part of her that he could. He toyed with her nipples, sucking and kissing. Then kissed his way down to her center, dripping with anticipation. "Oh god El." He worked her over with his mouth and tongue. He took his pants off and was aligned with her entrance...
Olivia's phone began to ring, jolting her out of her 2 hour nap she had got. "Benson," she answered rather annoyed.
"Hey Liv."
She was trying to get her breathing regulated. That dream and being woken up after a few hours of sleep had her worked up. "Hey El, what's up?" She wasn't so annoyed since it was him calling.
"Yeah, mind if I come to your place now? Things with Kathy have really been insane. I'll explain when I get there if I'm allowed to come over."
"Uh yeah. That's fine. I was just gonna go grocery shopping if you wanna go, since you'll be staying," she said, laying her head back on the pillow.
"Yeah, if you want I can."
"Okay, see you in a bit then?," she asked
"Yeah, bye Liv."
"Bye."
Olivia rolled out of bed and made herself some coffee.
Elliot wasted no time moving in. He brought 3 bags of clothes and necessities with him into the apartment.
"Hope you don't mind, I packed most of my stuff, and it's ready for a new home. Kathy kicked me out before I could say I was moving out. Rest of my stuff is in the car."
"I gotta hear that story. How did it happen?," Olivia chuckled as they got comfortable on the couch.
"Well, I had just walked in. I didn't sleep at all before I went to the lawyer's office. I walked in with divorce papers telling her I wanted a divorce and she flipped. Claimed I was cheating on her yet again, and with you."
"Wow." Olivia scoffed.
"Oh it gets better. She then picked up a vase and threw it at me while I was leaving."
"That just sounds like loads of fun," Olivia said sarcastically as she sipped her coffee.
"It was." Elliot was enraged about Kathy he didn't even notice he sat on a clean couch until after the story.
"Wow Liv, you cleaned. Everything?," he said looking around the apartment.
"Yeah, I couldn't sleep when I got home this morning."
"Jesus, were you asleep when I called?," he looked at her, now feeling horrible for calling her when he did.
"Yeah, but it's not a big deal."
"The hell it isn't, I'm sorry for dumping everything on you. What time did you go to sleep?," he asked concerned.
"Around 11."
"I called around 1. Fuck. I'm sorry for waking you up."
"No big deal. Like I said I was gonna go grocery shopping anyways. If you wanna eat here it's something that must be done," she said as she got up off the couch to get more coffee.
He watched her as she walked into the kitchen. "Speaking of you wanna go now?"
"Yeah, that's fine. What kind of food do you like anyways Stabler?"
"Anything that's edible. You?"
"Same."
They got to the store and then Olivia noticed how hungry she was. Then she remembered she hadn't eaten since dinner the night before.
"It's a horrible idea to come the store hungry. Now everything looks good." She laughed.
"Yeah, I know I'm starving too."
They were in the store for an hour. They grabbed everything that looked good. They had a full cart of everything possible. They spent in excess of 200 dollars.
Olivia smirked. "This will be fun loading all of this into the apartment."
"Hey it'll be good exercise running up and down before we stuff our faces full of this junkfood."
"Good point."
They were both breathless after getting the food into the apartment.
"Alright, Liv, don't argue, but I am going to make dinner."
"Me, argue? Never," she exclaimed sarcastically. "What are you making?"
"Chinese."
"Exactly what I had in mind." It was what she always had on her mind.
They settled down with their chinese food and had a relaxing afternoon. And of course, with the worst timing ever, Olivia's cell phone rang.
"Not...real," she said, slumped against the arm of the chair.
"Yeah it is, and if you don't answer Captain will have both our asses." He handed the phone to her.
"Benson. Uh yeah Cap I'll let Elliot know. We'll be there soon."
"What was that about?"
"They have a suspect for our rapist."

Just so everyone knows, I am restraining myself from getting to into an E/O yet. I am trying to put a new spin on things besides a typical E/O. :) Who else feels the tension building ? ;)
