A/N: Ok, what is going on?! Whenever I say I love the number of reviews I've been getting, I get less. Whenever I say I hate the number of reviews I've been getting, I get more.
Well this last chapter only got 3 reviews ... it was pretty pathetic guys ...
Soooo ... for your punishment I didn't update ... well that and I was at a party ...
Disclaimer ... nope
Several weeks had passed and Elliot and Olivia were getting closer. They still hadn't been out on an actual, official date but Elliot wanted to make sure Olivia was completely healed, physically and emotionally, before they took their relationship to the next level and Olivia respected him even more that he was so careful not to hurt her.
They had a week of bliss but Olivia was getting bored in her house. She was still injured and had to avoid strenuous activities and lifting objects above five pounds. Elliot helped out with the lifting but there was nothing they could to about avoiding strenuous activities. Elliot tried not to think about being with his partner, but it was a complete failure. Olivia tried not to think about the fact that she was constantly alone with Elliot and sleeping in the same bed wrapped in Elliot's arms as a sexual thing, for her own sanity, but it was the hardest thing she's had to do in her life.
Olivia returned to work two days earlier than her doctor told her but she fought with Elliot about it for a week. He finally realized that there was no why he was going to win and decided to let her go as long as she was on desk duty and that he could be with her in case she got hurt. Olivia was verbally opposed to the idea of Elliot following her around all day but she realized it was the only way to get back to work and agreed,
Olivia was sitting at her desk doing paperwork when she heard Elliot get up. She looked up. "Where are you going?"
"Bathroom." Elliot yawned as he walked away, intentionally brushing past her.
Olivia smiled and tried to focus on her computer screen even though it was almost impossible to think about anything besides Elliot. If Olivia had it her way they wouldn't wait another minute, but she knew he was being a gentleman and that he wanted her to be ready.
Elliot came back but didn't start working. Instead, he put his feet up on the desk and leaned back and closed his eyes. She rolled her eyes; Cragen wasn't in and he was already slacking off. Olivia perfectly aimed a pencil at his head and he almost fell backward in his chair. "Trying to hurt me, Liv?"
Olivia shook her head and got up from her chair, not taking her eyes off of his. She leaned on his desk and crossed her arms. "Oh don't worry, you'll know when I'm trying to hurt you." Elliot's eyes widened at her voice. He was sure it was the sexiest voice he'd ever heard.
Elliot had to push his chair in farther under the desk as she stood next to him. Olivia tried not to laugh at his obviously growing discomfort. "Really, and when will that be?" he asked, trying to sound as if he was the one in control even though he so clearly wasn't.
"Whenever you want it to be. You're the one holding out." Olivia said as she winked. She loved making him so uncomfortable and watching him squirm.
Elliot chuckled and rolled his eyes playfully. "Don't you still have stitches?"
Olivia shook her head.
"When did you get them taken out?" Elliot asked, not remembering any appointment being gone to or even set.
"I didn't. They dissolved." Olivia said and lifted her shirt slightly to show one of the scars.
Elliot reached out to touch it but Olivia pulled her shirt down. "Not yet, Mr. Stabler. We're in work, remember?"
Elliot scoffed. "Be daring, Liv."
Olivia leaned close to Elliot's ear. "I am daring."
Her hot breath against his skin and the sexy tone of her voice made Elliot inch further under his desk and his breathing became quick and shallow. There was no denying it: Olivia was in complete control. Olivia winked and kissed him on the cheek as she turned to walk back to her desk. She could feel Elliot's eyes on her but ignored them and tried to work.
Several minutes passed when a paper landed on Olivia's desk. She looked up at Elliot who pretended like he had no idea what was going on and Olivia rolled her eyes as she opened it.
Livvie -
Dinner. Tonight. 8:30
-El 3
Olivia laughed at the heart after his name and wrote back.
Is this a date?
-Livvie ; )
She chucked it at Elliot's head but he saw it and moved his head just in time. He gave Olivia a fake glare and she smiled. Elliot wrote back and chucked the note back at Olivia, he laughed when it hit her square in the forehead. "Score!"
Olivia raised her eyebrow at him and looked around the squad room. There was no one important around and she looked back to him. "You're so lucky, if there were people in here you wouldn't be scoring ever."
Elliot almost laughed at her boldness but didn't want to get her mad. He knew she was kidding by the light in her eyes but her voice was serious, her signature cover. Olivia smirked as she read the note.
it's either that or I'm telling you we need a divorce ... either way it's a free dinner.
-El
Olivia laughed and quickly scribbled one back before going to the bathroom.
Well it looks like I need an attorney now.
It better be some place good for our last dinner as a married couple ...
- livvie
Elliot rolled his eyes and for a split second, as she got up, thought she was actually going to call an attorney. Olivia clarified for him. "Bathroom." she yelled back over her shoulder, knowing exactly what he was thinking.
It was 7:45 and there was hardly any work left to do. They couldn't leave until eight and even though Cragen wasn't in, they didn't want him to come back and see them all gone. Olivia came back and found the note back on her desk. She looked at Elliot who had since turned off his computer and was trying to balance his pen on his face. Olivia rolled her eyes at him and his stupidity and opened the note.
And maybe we'll even get in a last married romp before we sign the papers.
- el ; )
Olivia laughed Munch looked up from his desk to look at her. She pretended not to notice him as she wrote back. Once Munch looked away, she threw it over their desks.
Well ... I do have my new boyfriend coming over after you leave, but I guess I can fit you in ; )
-liv
Elliot read it and faked a hurt expression as he got up and put his coat on. He waited for Olivia and they walked out together. "New boyfriend, Liv? You can just replace your husband like that?"
Olivia nodded as she got into the car. "He was a jerk anyway."
Elliot scoffed. "I met him before, he was a great guy. You just don't know what you're giving up."
"I probably don't." Olivia said as she looked through her phone.
They sat in silence for the rest of the car ride. Elliot was hoping Joe was done with the dinner arrangements as they pulled up to the apartment building.
A/N: Review please.
