Chapter 11

"So, Olivia, are you doing anything tonight?"

Olivia's hands slowed on the keyboard. "Not that I know of; why?"

They had gotten the DNA sample and were only waiting on the lab to get the results back to them.

Munch looked at Elliot. "What do you say," he paused as Elliot eyes narrowed. "Want to go to dinner with me?"

Olivia knew what Munch was doing. He had always been a smart man, she thought.

"Sure; where are we going?"

Any place you want, Olivia; any place you want."

The sound of a chair screeching across the floor took them out of their playful bantering. When they looked up, Elliot was standing, breathing shallowly. Munch smirked at him, which only made Elliot angrier.

Olivia looked between him and Munch; it was like they were having a silent conversation and Elliot didn't like what Munch was saying.

"Elliot?" she inquired softly. He looked at her and his eyes softened a bit.

"Yeah?"

"Are you okay? I know it's been a long day." Elliot looked back at Munch then said, "Yeah; I just need some air."

"Want to take a walk?"

"Nah, stay here and finish. I'm going to head up to the roof; be back in a few."

Elliot looked out over Manhattan. It was chilly for mid-September, but not enough that he was too cold. He thought over what had just happened. He knew Munch was trying to irk him.

Munch had always been to knowing for his own good but that didn't help the jealousy he felt well up in him when she said yes. That was supposed to be him. He was supposed to be taking her out, not Munch.

Complaining isn't going to help. He thought. But what could he do? He didn't want to lose Olivia as a partner, but he wanted more than that now.

The door to the roof opened and he turned around to see Olivia. She was dressed as before in her purple blouse and black pants, but Elliot thought she looked beautiful in anything. He turned too looked back out over the city.

"Hey, the lab just called; they got the results back and Melinda would like to talk to us." Olivia paused for a few moments ad just looked at him. This man looked good in everything. "Are you okay, El?"

Elliot turned and looked at her. "Yeah, I'm fine."

"Elliot?"

"I'm fine, really Olivia."

"If you aren't, I can always take Munch down to the lab with me."

Jealousy welled up in him again and he turned back around.

"No, just give me a minute. I'll meet you at the car."

"Okay, but really El…"

He cut her off, "Look, if you want me gone so bad, ask for another partner!" Uh oh, he thought as he saw anger flare in her eyes.

"You know what, Stabler?" She only calls me Stable when she's really angry. He thought. "Stay here and sulk while Munch and I go find out if it's Wellston's DNA."

He was getting tried of this feeling. He felt like an idiot as he watched her walk away in a huff.

He heard the door open again and turned around to see Munch.

"Go away, Munch."

"You're an idiot, Stabler. You better hurry, or she'll be gone."

"What're you…" Elliot trailed off when he saw Munch was gone.
