Over the next few months Olivia and Casey spent time planning weddings and catching perps. Elliot and Munch stayed out of the way and helped as much as they were allowed too. The wedding dates were set. Casey and Munch's wedding was May 21st. Their venue was "Midtown Loft & Terrace" which had a stunning view of the city.
"I love this venue. It's perfect" Casey smiled. Her wedding was 2 months away.
Elliot and Olivia's wedding was July 24th. They were getting married at St. John's Cathedral. Inside was absolutely beautiful. Olivia knew how important Elliot's religion was so she decided that'd be the perfect place. The reception was at modern venue in Madison Square. It was perfect.
May 21st was fast approaching for Casey and Munch.
"I can't believe Casey's getting married like next week" Olivia said to Elliot as they drove home.
"I know it seems like just yesterday they were on their first date." He chuckled.
"I can't believe our wedding is in like 3 months" Olivia said smiling at Elliot.
"I know it's crazy. Oh and we're going to the Key West for our honeymoon" Elliot said smiling. Olivia smiled big
"I love the Key's!" She said excitedly. Elliot nodded
"I knew you would." Olivia was so happy. She loved the beach. No one not even Elliot knew that.
"I bought a beach cottage down there. You walk right out to the beach from the bedroom/living room. Everything is so open and beautiful" Elliot said smiling at Olivia.
"I cannot wait. I need to get away for a while" she said being completely legit.
All the stress of work and physical therapy and wedding planning has started to get to her. Elliot smiled and placed his hand on her leg. Olivia smiled and took his hand.
Olivia noticed they'd passed their apartment
"Um babe you were supposed to turn back there" she said looking at Elliot. Elliot smiled "I know. We aren't going home yet." Olivia was confused considering it was 4:45am. "Then where are we going?" Elliot smiled
"Just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride." Olivia smiled and decided it wouldn't be worth bugging Elliot because he wouldn't tell her and she knew it. Pretty soon Olivia fell asleep. When she woke up she noticed different scenery.
"Where are we?" Olivia asked. She figured they weren't in the Manhattan area anymore.
"Long Island" Elliot smiled
"We're going to spend the weekend at the beach" Olivia seemed confused.
"Why? I have no clothes and we are on call" she said just now realizing she had no clothing other than what she wore to work the previous day.
"Because you and I both need to get away and relax for a while. And yes you have clothes. Casey packed you some while you weren't around and we are on call but there is no way in hell we'd get back in time." He said smiling.
Olivia looked at him knowing he planned it all purposely but knowing he was right about needing to get away from the stress of work
"You spoil me Stabler" Olivia said smirking
"You deserve it Benson" Elliot said smiling at Olivia. Just then Elliot pulled up to a beach house.
"Oh my gosh Elliot this is beautiful" Olivia gasped. Elliot smiled and parked the car. Olivia took her gun and badge off and put it in the glove compartment. Elliot came around and opened the door for Olivia. He took her hand and helped her out of the car "Such a gentlemen" Olivia said giggling. Elliot laughed and took her hand.
They walked out onto the beach. Olivia closed her eyes taking in the scenery and the smell of the fresh salty air. Elliot watched her. He knew she loved the beach. She never told anyone but he just knew.
Olivia opened her eyes and looked at Elliot. Elliot smiled and picked her up.
"El what are you do-" just then he threw her into the water
"Elliot!" she said soaking wet.
"I'm going to get you back for that" She said still lying in the water. Elliot stood over her laughing.
"Here let me help you" he reached his hand down and Olivia grabbed it and pulled him down.
"Liv!" he said as he tried getting up but failed. Olivia laughed.
"Payback!" she said through laughs. Elliot rolled his eyes and fake pouted. Olivia swam over to him and got on top of him
"Payback has its exceptions" she said winking at him and kissed him. The kiss was intense. Olivia pulled away and stood up shivering. Elliot stood up
"Cold?" Olivia smiled
"Just a little but I'm good" she said smiling. Elliot started walking towards the house when he noticed Olivia wasn't next to him. Just then Olivia leaped onto Elliot's back.
"Oh there you are" he said repositioning himself so she wouldn't fall off of him.
"Of course. You planning on leaving me?" Olivia said as Elliot started to walk.
"I wouldn't dream of leaving you" he said smiling. Olivia wrapped her arms around his neck and enjoyed the ride on Elliot's back.
They got back to the beach house and Olivia hopped off of Elliot's back.
"I'm going to shower and change" Elliot kissed her neck.
"You know we could shower together." Elliot winked. Olivia giggled
"Elliot you know how much I'd love that but we both know we wouldn't get clean. We'd end up getting dirtier than we are now" she said winking. Elliot knew this was true. "Okay but later tonight" Elliot paused and kissed Olivia passionately. The kiss lasted until oxygen was needed again. Olivia pulled away.
"I really need to shower" She said putting her finger over Elliot's mouth.
"Okay babe. I'll go get your bag." Olivia nodded. Elliot went to get the bag Casey packed for Olivia. Casey helped Elliot out with packing and dinner reservations to a really fancy restaurant. Elliot came back with 2 bags. One contained Olivia's clothes and the other contained toiletries.
"Thanks El" she smiled and kissed him.
"Anything for you" he smiled at her
"We have dinner reservations in an hour Liv" Olivia smiled
"Ooh fancy. Where?" Elliot smiled
"It's a secret" he winked. He knew Olivia hated secrets but he didn't want her knowing where they were going. Olivia nodded and shut the bathroom door. She changed out of her wet clothes and got into the hot shower. She loved hot showers. They always relaxed her and they felt amazing. She washed and then got out. She dried off and went into the bedroom and opened the bag containing clothes. Hoping Casey didn't pack anything too wild, she pulled out a backless red cocktail dress with matching red heels. She also found a red laced bra and matching thong. She found her hair dryer and curlers she put the curlers on and went back into the bedroom. She put the red bra and thong on and then put her robe back on. She dried her hair, brushed her teeth and put the small curlers in. Then put her make up on. She went for a smoky look. She put jet black eyeliner on and applied mascara. Then put on foundation, bronzer and a little blush on. Next she applied brown eye shadow that made her eyes look smoky and sexy. She went back into the bedroom and put the red cocktail dress on & the heels. Then went back into the bathroom and took the curlers out. Olivia had small little ringlets that were bouncy. She rarely made her hair bouncy but tonight was a special evening with Elliot so she went with ringlets. Then Olivia put red lipstick on and applied some lip gloss for a shine. She walked out and looked at her phone for the time: 5:30.
"Good timing" Olivia thought to herself. Lastly she put on some perfume Casey bought her for her birthday. Olivia walked out of the bedroom to see that Elliot already got ready.
"Are you ready?" Olivia said looking over at Elliot. Elliot looked up at her. She looked flawless. Her makeup looked as if a professional makeup artist did it. Her hair was so beautiful and bouncy. Her dress accented her curves perfectly. He'd never seen Olivia so beautiful before. Olivia looked like an angel.
"Elliot? Hello?" Olivia said waving her hand in front of Elliot's face.
"What? Oh yes I am" Elliot's outfit was a black suit with a red tie. They matched perfectly.
"You look stunning Liv" he said wrapping his arms around Olivia's waist.
"Thanks babe. You don't look bad yourself" she said winking at him.
"You ready?" Olivia nodded and grabbed her purse. She never really wore purses until Casey got her into them. She threw her phone, wallet, badge and gun in the purse. Elliot laughed.
"Planning on shooting someone?" Olivia laughed
"Just in case." Elliot didn't argue.
"So what's this restaurant called?" Olivia asked. Elliot smiled
"'The Long Island Bistro'. It's really fancy." Olivia smiled
"You just spoil me like crazy. How did Kathy ever let you go?" Elliot laughed
"I don't know but it's a good thing for you." Olivia nodded
"It is. I'm not complaining one bit" she said smiling.
When they got to the restaurant, Olivia gasped
"This place is so incredibly fancy! El how'd you afford this?!" Elliot laughed at Olivia's amusement
"You deserve this Olivia and I have my ways" he smiled and got out of the car. Olivia shook her head as Elliot helped her out.
"You're amazing" she said taking his hand. Elliot smiled
"I know" he smirked. Olivia playfully rolled her eyes and they walked into the restaurant.
When they sat down the waitress came back with two glasses and a bottle of wine
"This is our specialty wine of the evening" she said smiling and pouring both glasses. Elliot smiled at Olivia who nodded and took the glass of wine. Olivia took a sip of it
"This is fantastic" she said smiling at Elliot.
He knew she loved red wine even though when she was out with the group she'd order a girly drink like a martini or margarita and occasionally drink beer or the group would order shots, but she would never drink wine. Once they ordered their food they talked for the longest time
"We never talk like this" Olivia said taking another sip of her wine. Elliot laughed
"I know we've been talking about everything" Olivia nodded. They truthfully did talk about everything. They started with the wine, Olivia's dress shopping, then the wedding, and work, and Elliot's kids.
"Oh speaking of your kids they are coming to the wedding right?" Olivia asked Elliot. Olivia loved Elliot's kids and his kids knew it.
"Of course" Elliot said smiling.
"I would like them to be a part of the wedding" Olivia said smiling. Elliot nodded
"I think they'd love to be a part of it. Especially Maureen Elizabeth and Kathleen" Elliot laughed. Olivia laughed as well. When their food finally came, Olivia and Elliot still continued to talk.
"This is delicious" Olivia said taking another bite of her food. Elliot agreed.
When they both finished, Elliot got the check and paid for the food. He and Olivia linked arms and walked out of the restaurant.
"You ready?" He looked at Olivia who seemed a bit confused
"Where are we going now?" she looked up at Elliot hoping he'd hint her.
"Another surprise" he said opening her car door. Olivia laughed and got in. Elliot got in as well.
"Should I be scared or excited?" Olivia said smirking.
"Both" Elliot said winking. Olivia laughed and pulled out her phone and saw a text from Casey:
Hey Liv sorry to disturb you but I am curious how your weekend is going so far
-Casey
Olivia laughed at Casey's curiosity and replied back
Hey Case it's going really well. We had a wonderful dinner at this crazy fancy restaurant and now he's taking me somewhere but won't tell me where he's taking me now. He's spoiling me like crazy. I've never been spoiled like this before
-Liv
Olivia sat there waiting for a response. Elliot looked over at her and then back at the road.
"Casey texting you again?" Elliot smirked. Olivia laughed and nodded
"She wanted to know how the weekend was going and I said wonderful" Olivia smiled. Elliot laughed
"Oh Casey always curious." Olivia laughed and nodded
"Did Casey know you were planning this?" Elliot nodded
"She helped me plan this all." Olivia smiled
"I can't believe she stayed quiet about it" Elliot laughed
"I told her I'd kill her if she told anyone. Cragen knows as well. He won't be expecting us and promised only to call if someone like Fin, Munch, Casey or Melinda got hurt." Olivia laughed.
"I love Don so much" Olivia said smiling. Elliot laughed and agreed.
Olivia's phone dinged again
"Casey?" Elliot asked smirking. Olivia nodded
"Only person who'd text me other than you or Fin"
Olivia read the text:
You deserve the spoiling Liv! You are tough ass Detective Benson and right now you're engaged happy Olivia who needs the relaxation especially since next week I'm getting married
Olivia smiled. She knew Casey was right. She needed to replenish. Olivia replied
Oh next week is going to be amazing your wedding will be absolutely beautiful! And I know it's wonderful to be out in Long Island for the weekend. And this night keeps getting better and better who knows what he's planned for tonight once we get home"
Casey responded quickly
I know I'm so excited for next week and surprises are always a good thing! And I think I have an idea;) you better be able to walk Monday. Now go have fun but not too much fun and text me later on!"
Olivia rolled her eyes at Casey's sexual comment and put her phone away. It was only 8:15 and Elliot parked. It was an amusement park.
"El. You're kidding me right?" Olivia laughed because she knew both were in crazy nice clothing.
"Nope. The surprises are inside." Olivia looked at him confused
"Surprises?" Elliot nodded and grabbed her hand
"You'll love it" he said kissing her cheek. Olivia smiled and walked in the park with Elliot. Just then Olivia heard her name being screamed across the way.
"Oliviaaaaa!" Said voices from afar
Olivia gasped and looked at Elliot
