AN: Okay, so this chapter is short, but the next chapter will make up for that, and those who wanted some EO-ness, you got it for the next three chapters, but to let you guys know ahead of time, I don't write M rated stuff, so I did what I could to satisfy! Enjoy!
Over the next few days the case was solved, but Karla wasn't opening up about what happened with Travis nor about Jake. She had been separating herself as much as she could from her parents and Elliot and Olivia were at the end of their ropes.
Elliot decided to let them take a break from each other and sent Karla to spend the night at Maureen's house over the weekend and they had a little romantic getaway.
After dropping Karla at Maureen's, Elliot headed out of town. Olivia looked to her husband.
"El, for the thousandth time, where are we going?" Olivia asked getting annoyed.
"Liv, sweetheart, for the thousandth time, it's a surprise. SO, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride," Elliot replied grinning at his wife. He reached over and grasped her hand. He put it to his lips and kissed it gently.
"Fine, but you know how I feel about surprises," Olivia muttered.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I sure hope you're over that by the time we get there," Elliot said. She turned and stuck her tongue out at him.
"Real mature, Liv," Elliot said chuckling.
Olivia smiled and leaned back against her seat. She thought over the days after Karla's first day and wondered if ever her daughter was going to open up about the events had taken place. Cragen had tried talking to her as well, but Karla blew him off about it with the same excuse she told everyone. Olivia sighed.
"You okay, honey?" Elliot asked glancing over to his wife. He knew it had been a few tough days and that things were becoming strained with Karla among other things.
Olivia looked at him and nodded slightly. Elliot sighed and knew that she really wasn't.
"Liv, talk to me. Please, it's bad enough Karla won't, don't you do it too," Elliot said. Olivia sighed again.
"It's just that I wish that Karla would tell me what's wrong. She's never been so withdrawn not since the hospital when we first met. I'm really worried about her," Olivia told her husband.
"Honey, she's growing up and trying to find her own footing and she knows that if ever she needs help that she can come to us for anything. I'm worried too, but I trust her to do the right thing. We've taught her well," Elliot said trying to reassure his wife.
"I hope that she does. I really don't want to ruin the relationship we have with her by pushing so much, but I really wish she opens up," Olivia said.
"That's part of the reason for this getaway, to take a break away from everyone, and since we never really had a honeymoon I guessed that this would count as one," Elliot said waggling his eyebrows. Olivia had to laugh at that.
After about four hours on the road, they finally reached their destination. It was a little cottage that was just off a beach in New Jersey. The cottage was white with blue shutters and trim. Olivia gasped when she saw it. She looked at her husband with a smile.
"How?" she asked. Elliot shook his head to let her know that he wasn't telling and got out of the car.
They walked inside and took a look around. The cottage had a beautiful sitting room that was complete with a fireplace. There was a kitchen just off the sitting room. Olivia inspected the cupboards to notice that it was fully stocked and ready for their use. Down the short hall was a master room that had a California king bed in it. Off the master was a walk-in closet and across from the hall was a fairly large bathroom complete with a Jacuzzi tub and walk-in shower. Olivia looked around the cottage and the more she did the more she fell in love with it.
Elliot had finished unloading the car of their light luggage. He set the last of it down and walked over to Olivia. He wrapped his arms around behind her and kissed her neck softly. She moaned and tilted her head. She spun around and kissed him passionately. Elliot deepened the kiss which elicited another moan from Olivia. They broke the kiss due to the need for air being too great.
"This place is wonderful El," Olivia said softly.
"I'm glad you like it. What do you say to some lunch and then we go out to the beach?" he asked her.
"I say that sounds wonderful," Olivia replied with a large smile on her face.
Lunch was eaten and the dishes were cleaned up. Olivia went into the room and looked through her suitcase that Elliot had packed. She found the bikini he had chosen for her to wear. She smiled at it and put it on. Elliot had changed into his swim trunks and they left for the beach.
Olivia spread the towel out on the sand and began to put sunscreen on her front. She turned and held the bottle out to Elliot who took it and slowly rubbed sunscreen all over her back. He pulled her closer and kissed her neck up to her jaw and she turned just enough to capture his lips with hers. He laid down and pulled her over onto him. She squealed at him.
"Really El? The beach?" she asked with a grin.
"Mmm-hmm, no one is around for miles. It's isolated here," Elliot replied, "That's why I chose this place."
"Uh-huh," Olivia replied. She noticed her husband's glint in his eye. She purred seductively and kissed him again. They made love passionately on the beach.
The weather cooled down the beach quickly and they rushed inside to warm up. Elliot started a fire while Olivia made hot chocolate in the kitchen. They sat in front of the fire and watched the flames crackle while they drank their hot chocolate.
An hour later, the hot chocolate was finished and Elliot prepared a beautiful and romantic dinner for them. He lit two candles, one on either side. They ate and made small talk. After the dishes they both decided that a bath in the Jacuzzi tub would be wonderful. They made love yet again and got out when the water got cold. They laid down in bed and Olivia cuddled next to Elliot. He wrapped his arms around her and they both sighed contentedly. Not too long after, they fell asleep.
AN: I hope that this satisfied somewhat. The next chapter is the next day of their getaway. I hope you guys liked it! Leave a review, please and thank you!
